Hughes and Whiskers
[From the Boston Herald

Popular. discussion of the Hughes
candidacy strangely centers about his
whiskers. as If these in some way de-
tracted from his ability. How the
times have changed! Nobody mention
ed this of Harrison, or Blaine, or Gar
field or Hayes. or Grant. In fact, the
bearded presidents, all Republicans, and
beginning with Lincoln. constitute al
most an epoch in American history.
How did 1T happen that the Demo-
Gratis never fell for this fashion? If
all the hirsute appendages of their
candidates, from 1875 to 1912, inclu-
sive, were assembled in a costumer's
showcase, there would be Just three
mustaches and one bit of chin whis-
kers, popularly known as a goatee.
Fashion, moreover, seems turning to-
ward the Democratic practice, the last
three Republican presidents possessing
among them only two mustaches.
Perhaps the greatest change has
come in the side-whiskers. Chester A.
Arthur was the best-dressed man in
America at the time of his incum-
bency of the presidential chair, and he
wore side -whiskers. To-day william C.
Redfeld is the most eminent of living
American statesmen thus adorned.

The Family

There's a grille upstairs in her bed so
deep
Hark to the wind a-croon!
She's wrapped in a silver web of sleep,
Snug in her dream cocoon;
She hears the birds and crickets
CALL
She stirs and smiles and loves
them all,
But somewhat less than she loves
her doll
Heigh-o for the little maid!
There's a ladde asleep in the house
tonight
Hark to the sound of wings
His slumbers are filled with soft de-
light
And strange, ecstatic things:
He dreams of brave knights on a
sunlit plain,
or fairy queens that soothly reign,
That wave their hands to Danish
pain
Heigh-o for the sylvan glade!
There's a mother of both. Hark she
gently sighs,
Kneeling beside them there.
The long day ended, meath starlit
skies
She offers a broken prayer:
But out on the field, where the wild
blades leap,
Where the shrapnel bursts and the
bayonets sweep,
One lies quite still where trench
yawns deep,
And the toll of Mars is paidl

ium of distribution. As q result, a
large charity entertainment was given
at the residence of a Washington So
ciety woman, the proceeds from which
were turned over to the association
and used to establish Headquarters for
the first infant welfare station.
This was in 1914. The experiment
was at once a success. and to-day there
are five of these infant welfare sta
tions in the poorer districts of the city,
with a staff of twenty eight volun-
teer physicians, a superintendent and
eight nurses. Each station has one
large, well-lighted, well-ventilated
room, equipped with plain white fur
niture that would be within the in
come of almost any home. In one cor
ner there is a white screen on which is
hung the model baby outfit including
small wooden shirt and band, a fan
mel petticoat, a white petticoat-not
insisted upon-and white dress made
of longcloth or nainsook. The gar
ments are fastened with strings on the
shoulders, so that there will be no
tight bands around the baby's waist
to give him indigestion or interfere
with the expansion of his lungs Here
the mothers foregather and have their
conferences learning the principles OF
hygiene and home sanitation.
On back of this room is a small
kitchen where the babies are brought
after they are weighed and examined
by the physician, who advises the
mother as to the babys health and, If
necessary, prescribes formula for ar
tificial feeding. The nurse in charge
then takes the mother over to the
gas stove in another part of the room
and shows her how to prepare the
milk with materials kept for that pur-
pose by the kitchen.

BETTER CARE FOR BABIES

BY. Frederic ]. Haskin

TXTASHINGTON is just at the end
wv of a Baby Week From the
w the sixth to the thirteenth of
May the National capital has been
turned over to the National Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs for their bet
babies exhibit and propaganda.
One of the most important features of
the weeks program is the exhibits and
conferences of the Washington Diet
Kitchen Association, which has work
ed so vigorously during the past few
years to cut down the infant NOR
tality of the District of Columbia.
The whole nation has recently be-
come aroused to the need for taking
better care of it's babies. The Chill
dren's Bureau, which has conducted
exhaustive researches on the subject
of infant mortality and investigated
the problems of several representa-
tive communities, last year opened an
Infant Welfare Station at the Panama
Pacific Exhibition, where large au-
diences were lectured on the proper
care and feeding of babies, many of
whom were examined and treated on
the platform. In New York city, pam
phlets on the proper care of infants
have been distributed in seven differ
ent languages in an affort to reach
every mother who might possibly save
the life of her baby with the aid of a
little knowledge and advice. In Louis
lana and Texas, exhibition cars are
sent into the rural districts where
practical demonstrations are given to
instruct the mothers how best to care
for their infants. Here the Washing
ton Diet Kitchen Association has
opened Ave infant welfare stations to
act in the nature of training schools
for mothers.
The Washington Diet Kitchen Asso-
ciation was first established in 1896
by a woman philanthropist, for the
purpose of supplying milk and other
nourishment to the sick poor. The
society grew but slowly and in 1901
considered dissolving entirely, owing
to the lack of finances with which to
meet administration expenses. But at
this juncture the Visiting Nurse Society
of Washington came to the rescue, Of
fering its services in the distribution
of broth, milk and eggs to the poor
on it's visiting list. Subsequently, upon
the recommendation of the health de-
partment, the distribution of broth
and eggs was discontinued and only
milk was delivered free. In 1908, the
first milk stations were established by
the association at Neighborhood
House and Noel House-social settle
ment houses-and later another at St
Mary's Chapel.
1t soon became apparent, however
that the need for. free milk was rela-
! lively unimportant as compared To
the need for proper instruction and
training for the business of mother
hood. In the poorest districts the ma
jorty of the babies were fed on human
| milk and in other cases the families
were able to pay for good, clean milk
The association also realized that II
they were to be successful at all they
must do all of their work themselves

pose and not depending absolutely or

Preparedness

ical missionary, home from France,
says regarding preparedness:
Last December, before I went to
France, prayed and hoped this coun-
try might not break with Germany
and go to war. I did not understand
then that there are times when a man
cannot be neutral. Since I've been
back I've been advising my friends to
go. l have been asked if extensive
preparations for war are justifable, as
if any force could be used with effect
without preparation. l am not so pes
simistic as to believe that being pre-
pared makes a man want to fight. My
experience has been that the man who
is best prepared is the last one to
want to fight"

toward industrial and commercial pre-
paredness.
During the present year, with the
war at It's height, imports of thirty
eight commodities from the category
of general merchandise and aRricul-
tural products - commodities which
have had the most severe competition
in normal times-show an increase of
s22,S81.006 in January, 1916, over
January, 1915. What would have been
the increase If there had been no war?
What will be the increase after the
WARP
With foreign products besieging our
markets in Unprecedented fashion
through the benevolence of the Under
wood tariff, and with our exports re-
duced materially through the resump-
tion of manufacturing abroad, it will
not take long for boasted Democratic
prosperity to vanish.
If we are to consider an advantage
so obviously dependent upon condi-
tions subject to change without notice
as prosperity, then we are prosperous
not because of the Democratic party
but in spite of it. Secretary Redheld
would have US live content midst the
economic instability of this FOOLS para
disc. But the American businessman
and the American voter have wit
messed something of Democratic in
competency in the last three years.
When the Fall elections come round it
will take more than prosperity preach
ments to return Woodrow Wilson to
the White House, especially since
many workmen already are feeling
the pinch of shrinking war business,
with nothing to brighten their horizon.

GERMAN VICTORY ON SEAS

TNaE German victory over the Eng
lish fleet is not decisive, but It
will have a far-reaching moral
effect. That is as much as can be
said until the complete details of the
hght are at hand. One thing, how
ever, is apparent, that the British
navy has not lived up to its reputation
and the results of the battle will
shake the confidence of the empire
in its ability to stand up ship for ship
with the Germans.
To be sure, England still continues
Mistress of the Seas" by virtue of
the weight and number of her ships,
but it is extremely likely that the
Germans will take heart from their
success to worry the English fleet
as ii has not been worried since the
war began. More frequent dashss
from the Kiel base may be looked for
and a general "gingering up" of the
English navy may be expected.
On the other hand, if 1t is true that
the Germans lost in all eleven vessels,
that is a serious blow to the Kaiser's
sea power, for while England can
stand the loss of many more vessels
without endangering her superiority
on the waves, Germany is so hard
pressed for ships that she has been
compelled to keep what she has
bottled up" all through the war, with
the exception of an occasional foray
such as that which resulted in the
battle of May 81.
If early reports are correct, the fight
demonstrated that heavier caliber,
longer range and more guns are the
deciding factors in naval warfare of
to-day and the lesson for America is
plain.

A FOOLS PARADISE

NESPITE the fact that in Harris
- burg and elsewhere war order"
factories are shutting down, Sec
retary Redfield. of the Department of
Commerce. declares there is no rea-
son to fear industrial or commercial
depression in this country at the close
of the war The official economist Of
the Democratic party states that the
so-called war business of the country
does not exceed five per cent. of our
total industrial and commercial activ-
ity. War exports do not exceed one
quarter of our total exports. says Mr..
Redheld. and our shipments to South
America have at least doubled.
This display Of business acumen
from the head of the Commerce De-
partment is as superficial in it's reason
ing and as far from the truth as any
thing he has uttered in recent months
Yes, our exports to South America
have nearly doubled. We are not ship
ping war supplies to South America
Therefore, the increase is not a war in
crease, reasons Mr.. Redfeld.
It does not take much more than
schoolboy ability to kick a gigantic
hole in the Democratic commerce ex-
pert's argument. But in all fairness
we must remember that Secretary
RedfieId's chief function right now is
to paint prosperity, which, by the way,
is also the task of all other Demo-
cratic chieftains not writing notes or
juggling treasury balances to the
point of attractiveness.
What will happSn when German,
British and French export markets
and banking organizations resume in
the South American field at the close
of the war? What is the Democratic
Secretary Of Commerce doing to
strengthen the temporary grip we are
securing in South American trade?
He is issuing prosperity manifestos
and trying to lull the business inter
ests Of the country into a dangerous
quiescence
But the American businessman
knows the phenomenal growth of
American export trade is largely due
to the war. He knows that at its
close Europe will bend all energies to
recoup. He knows that then, If ever,
viii come the acid test of American
ability to meet foreign competition.
What is the Democratic administra-
tion doing TO assist the businessman
to meet this eventuality? It is talking
about anti-dumping legislation, post
poning action on the proposed tariff
commission, lodging the necessary
protection of dyestuffs, but really ac-
complishing nothing in a positive way

PAPER FROM NEW WOODS

EUCH interest, in these days of
Wl high cost of paper, attaches to
the announcement of the gov
ernment that its experts in the Depart
ment of Agriculture have succeeded in
manufacturing satisfactory pulp from
a number of hitherto little known
woods.
II has long been the puzzle of
paper manufacturers as to what they
would do when the spruce forests of
the country become exhausted, and al
ready, as a result of the vast quantity
of pulp required, these forests have
been decreasing rapidly in size and the
price of wood paper has been tending
steadily up.
The government experts have pro-
ceeded on the ground that if the price
of newsprint paper is to be kept at a
reasonable figure more efficient meth
ods of converting spruce into pulp
must be developed or cheaper woods
substituted for it. They say that the
method of manufacturing groundwork
pulp has changed very little since it's
introduction into this country in 1867.
1t was with the idea OF developing new
methods and improving the old that
tests were undertaken at the Forest
Service laboratories at Wausau and
Madison, Wisconsin. AS a result, the
relation of the different steps in the
manufacturing process to each other
has been definitely established and the
merits of each treatment determined.
The paper made from new woods was
given a practical tryout byNwo large
newspapers with satisfactory results.
The tests, it is said. show that eleven
new woods give promise of being suit
able for the production of newsprlnt

SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE
From the loWest depths, there is a
path to the Iottiest height-Carlyle.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL IMPERATIVE

NEW HIGH SCHOOL IMPERATIVE
HARRISBURG must have a new
L L high school.
That became apparent yester-
day when DR.. Downes reported to the
School Board that 290 new pupils will
enter the Central High School this
Spring and that in order to provide
them with seats, even on a two-session
basis, the chapel must be broken up
into rooms, the laboratories changed
into classrooms and the teaching force
enlarged.
The demand for n new high school
has been heard from time to time dur
ing the past six years, with more or
less frequency, and every time it has
appeared to be near the point of sue
cess this or that influence has stepped
in to prevent. Now the time has come
when the need is imperative. We can
no longer tolerate conditions. The
people of the city owe it to themselves
to see to 1t that the loan which it is
proposed to float next Fall is adopted
in order that the School Board may
proceed at once with the actual build
ing operations. Even so, it will be two
years at least before a new high school
can be made ready for occupancy.
The rank and file of the voters
ought to be more interested in the
proposed new high school than they
appear to be. The wealthy parent may
send his boy to a private school and
college, but the poor man must look
to the high school to supply his child
with an education. and for that reason
the high school should be the best
: possible. II it is not up to the stand
ard of former years, the student is
robbed of something he can never re-
gain. The elimination of arithmetic
from the freshman course is an illus
tration Of how seriously the over
crowded condition of the Forster
street building is crippling the school.
