much curiosity about it.
She recalled perfectly the events OF

THE MACE

The dignity and power of the House
of Representatives in the United
States Congress is symboliZed by the
mace-almost the only survivor in
American parliamentary customs of
that wealth of ancient and medieval
symbolism that characterizes British
parliaments throughout the Empire.
The mace is the insignia of the office
of the sergeant alarms. In the
House of Representatives it is an in
dispensable part of the legislative ma
chinery.
1t is borne into the chamber just
before a sitting of the House begins,
and the House is in actual session
only when it stands upright in its
marble pedestal at the right of the
Speaker When the House goes into
committee of the whole, and the
Speaker leaves the chair to be sue
ceeded by a chairman of committee
the mace is lowered. When, even fol-
moment the House sits again to re-
ceive a message from the President

There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.

All Aspects Of War Will Be
Considered by Conference Of Allies

London - A general conference of
the allies in Paris to consider all polit-
ical and strategical aspects of the war
is to be held. Announcement to this
effect was made in the house of COM
mons by Premier Asquith.
Premier Asquith's statement was
made in the course of an address in
connection with the opening of parlia-
ment. The premier said large vote
of credit would be asked next week.
He announced that the government
was now taking stock of all its muni-
tions, men, finances and industrial re-
serves, so as to be in position to put
forth its maximum strength.
The forecast made several weeks
ago Of a daily expenditure for the war
of S5, 600, 900 had proved, the premier
said, to be nearly accurate.
Obligations incurred by the war, ne
added, would impose serious strain
on the country for generation to
come. This burden, he believes, could
be met only by large additions to tax
alton and by maintenance of England 8
credit by keeping up the volume Of
exports, holding down unnecessary i'm
ports and reducing expenditures.

May Mean Establishment Of
Tanneries in Northwest

University of Washington, Seattle
A ton of wood shipped by parcel
post, in fifty-pound mail bags from the
National Forest reserve near Sumpter,
Oregon, was received at the chemistry
department of the university last
week. According to the parcel post
deliveryman this is the largest single
consignment that has been received by
the Seattle Postoffice.
The work will be carried on by
Frank M. Jones, a graduate student in
the chemistry department, under the
supervision of DIR. H. X. Benson, who
was recognized at the meeting Of the
American Chemical Society last sum-
mer as leader of the industrial re-
search work being carried on in the
United States.
The Alaska furs and hides the from
Montana provide enough skins for the
establishment of tanning plants in the
Northwest, according to Mr.. Jones,
but it remains for the capitalists to
be shown that the tannin extract can
be obtained from the woods Of the
Northwest. When capitalists have
been shown that they can obtain the
raw material at low cost, Mr.. Jones
believes that tanneries will be estab-
lished in. the Northwest.

Chicago --- Modestino Mastrogiovan-
mis- recent bank failure found an echo
at $50 n. m. Sunday in a bomb ex-
plosion at his luxurious home at 37l9
Grand boulevard, an explosion so ter
rife AZ to awaken the whole South
Side. The entire front of the big
stone residence-it is double dwell
ing, one side being occupied by the
bankers family and the other by the
family Of Ira j. Mix, wealthy dairy
man-was blown away, the big gray
stones being cracked and broken.
Enemies, /" said Mastrogioyanni, as
he staggered out through the dusty
aperture that formerly had been a
wall of solid masonry. In his hand
he held a letter. His thought had
gone back to it when he realized, after
a few moments, what had happened.
"To put them on the street, blow
up, burn or kill II the money is not re-
turned"
Il was the threat incorporated in a
letter written in Italian - for nearly
all the depositors in the Mastrogio-
yanni bank were Italians--and bearing
the signature of the wife of one OF his
creditors.
The bomb had been placed there to
kill--not to frighten. Its destructive
power was so great that it reduced to
bits stones weighing tons, and the de-
tonation was so great as to arouse
residents as far south as South Chicago
and as far north as the loop.

mothers milk must be more literally
supplemented with feed which the pigs
can eat, and in addition the mothers
ration must be calculated to produce a
heavy flow of milk. If feeds Of these
sorts are not produced on the farm
and can be produced there, they should
be. And if they cannot be secured on
the farm they must be gotten else
where. Be assured that IL pig loses

two-hundred pig as quickly and as
economically as if he had not, says
Professor Samson.
"At the end of the first month a
sucking should weigh about fifteen
pounds, and during the second month
he should gain about one-half pound
daily. During the third month he
should gain about seven-tenths Of a
pound daily, and during the fourth
nine-tenths of pound daily. At five
months he should be kept practically
on full feed and start gaining from
one to two pounds daily for sixty days.

High School Lunches Prove
To Be of Greatest Value

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-Can high school student get
ting a lunch in the school get more
than twice the value Of lunch secured
elsewhere at the same price? That
this is actually the case is shown con-
clusively in comparison Of foods and
prices made by the department Of do
mestic science at the Oregon Agricul-
tural college. According to this list
the following food and prices at OBJ
tanned at the high schools, having a
food value of 700 calories.
In typical school lunch the follow
ing items at the prices given are pro-
cured: Cocoa and whipped cream, &c;
egg sandwich, &c; banana, 1c; four
dates, 1c; 3 cookies, 1c; total, 10c.
OF the usual lunches purchased else
where the following is. said to be typi-
cal of those bought by high school stu
dents: 8 crullers, sc; cup Of coffee
with cream and sugar, SC; total, 1Oc.
The food value of this latter lunch
is ESQ calories, in comparison with
that of 700 calories of the typical
school lunch.
Reports from some of the schools of
Oregon where lunches are served, show
that there are other advantages con-
nected with the practice Of furnishing
the school lunch. 1t affords means
of furnishing instruction and training
in preparing and serving meals eco
nomically and wholesomely. 1t also
lends additional attraction to the work
of schools and tends to keep attend
ance and interest at the best. Teach
ers are frequently regular customers
Of the school lunch, which they find
helpful and pleasant in comparison
with the cold lunches which they
might otherwise have to eat. The
following is a typical menu of the

To Celebrate Baby Week
In Many American Cities

Washington, d. C.--There are 1927
communities considering some prepar-
alton for Baby Week, according to the
inquiries received by the Children's
Bureau of the U. S. Department of
Labor. This number does not include
those of whose interest in the CAM
paign word has come to the bureau in
directly.
The letters about Baby Week are
still coming in from evey state in the
Union and from every type of COM
munity, such as Colorado settlement
forty miles from railroad, club of
women on one of the government re-
clamation projects, Montana coal
mining town with a large foreign
population, a southern mill village,
and club of farm women in Middle
Western state.
Texas has its own Baby Week slo-
gan-Baby Health is Texas Wealth.
and Mississippi has started competi-
tion to secure slogan for that state.
North Dakota reports plans for a
statewide essay contest in the public
schools. In few state campaigns the
State Federation of Women's Clubs,
the State University Extension De-
partment, the State Health officials
and those who are especially interested
in education are all cooperating in the
Baby Week campaign.
Many large cities are going to have
Baby Week. Definite plans are
under way in Albany, Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minneap-
oils, Philadelphia, Richmond, San
Francisco, Washington and other
cities. New York had successful
Baby Week in 1914 and will probably
hold another this year in the late
spring.
In its suggestions for Baby Week
observance the Children's Bureau lays
special emphasis on the opportunity it
affords for extending permanent work
for infant welfare, such as infant well
fare stations, visiting nursing, special
nursing and instruction for prospective
mothers, city inspection of milk, spe-
cial work for the prevention of blind
ness, and little mothers classes and
home nursing instruction for school
girls in the upper grades
