Want Peace Examplar to World.

Having demonstrated the possibility
of the unity of divers races in devo-
ton to Americanism, we want our peace
to be an eXemplar to the world. We
wish the spirit Of liberation and the
equal opportunities enjoyed here to pre-
vail among all peoples. We hope to
see the conscience of the world aroused
against atrocities. against oppression
and discrimination on account of race
or religious faith.
But to be of aid in the accomplish
ment of these great ends we must con-
serve our moral influence. In this as
pect weak and vacillating foreign
policy has most serious result. We
must be correct, firm, convincing.
Rights will not long remain such un-
less coura geously maintained. and our
international influence, with Its potency
of service to humanity. will depend on
the maintenance of our self-respect. on
our international repute, on the high
efficiency Of our diplomatic agencies.
on our ability to command and hold the
respect of the world"

WILLIAM T. BENTON.

A Star reporter who went to George
town to look for William T. Benton
happened to knock at a door on the
wrong street Some one upstairs popped
a head from the window and when the
reporter said he wanted to see Mr..
Benton large and inquisitive group
of children on the sidewalk burst out
In chorus:
HE lives over on 31st street, mister.
In about two minutes the stranger
within Georgetown's gates discovered
that everybody there knows William
T. Benton, and that William T. Benton
knows every one else.
All this was prelude to the an
nounceinent that the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company has retired
William T. Benton after continuous
service of twenty-five years driving
cars without miss. Mr.. Benton
drove cars before n1osormen were heard
Of. and after the last horse car had
taken spin the old turntable at
East Capitol and 9th streets the COM
pany placed a controller and a motor
mans mitt In his hands and told him
to go to 1t.

The reporter found the veteran in his
sitting room, ct 1895 s1st street.
II handled horses all my life he
said. land when 1 left the job 1 had
before this one, Bob Weaver said to me.
Take one Of these ears and drive it,
That was my initiation into the car

Who was Bob Weaver"
''Oh. you know Bob Weaver. He's an
old Georgetown boy. president of the
gas company now.

We'll. you see. I was born in the old

along the line. I wac always fond Of
horses, and when the war broke out

tions. I told him / had a mother and
two sisters Boy said he. I'd like to
have you. but you ought to stay home
and support mother and the girls SO
I stayed. and two weeks later Bakers
cavalry was shot to pieces.
This old town has changed a lot
since l was boy. There was a time

One miss" in twenty-five Years.
The veteran said he had only one
miss in twenty-five years Of service
with the Washington Railway and
Electric, and that this had never been
charged against him. The miss" con-
sisted in being a few minutes late at
the car barn one morning. 1t was not
serious. and the record Of twenty-five
years was not marred.
Mr.. Benton discussed the labor situa-
ton:
II have never had any use for
unions" he said. land did not leave the
company at the time OF the recent car
strike. 1 have no grievance against the
company. Some Of US older men re-
member the previous attempt to make
trouble between the employees and the
company. That was flzzle. When
this last strike came some Of the boys
asked me what ! was going to 10:
TIL take my car out on time I said,
ard I did. The company doesn't inter-
fere with the unions, and they don't
mind anything as long as the labor
leaders don't try to boss the COM

NEW YORK, October e5.-Charles E.

crowded Schuetzen Park Hall in

Standard Recipes.

The recipe card catalogue by its
business-like exterior, suggests eff
cheney within. One of the first prin-
ciples of the science of efficiency,
whether practised in a store, fac
tory or a kitchen is Standardization.
Our modern housewife will standard
ize her working conditions and also
her working information. Her cata-
logue will not contain a useless repe-
tition of recipes of the same type,
such as white cake" "ice cream
cake" and pond lily cake" when the
only differences among them are
slight variations in number of egg
whites used.
A rood working plan is to try out
several recipes of one kind until
thoroughly satisfactory one is found.
Then next to this tested type recipe
keep a card labelled variations.
Thus, ii one finds particularly de-
licious chocolate frosting which owes
its unusual flavor to the addition of
cinnamon, then add that suggestion
to the Variations for Frostings"
card, but do not make new "Choco-
late Frosting" card.

A cook in a Baltimore family is IN
receipt of gifts ana plaudits because,
she has been faithful to stove and
sink in one situation for twenty-five
Years. So long a period OF domestic
service is almost incredible i'll these
DAVIS when, as a Chicago wit re-
marked, the cook may leave between
the bacon and eggs. Nowadays when
an employment agency brings the lady
of the house and the maid-of-ali-
work together it is the employer who
is catechized by the employee. The
mistress fervently hopes that she will
suit the grande dame below stairs
and lives in fear of giving the under
ling displeasure, Is the solution OF
the servant question to be the pass
ing of the servant? A strike in the
kitchen means nothing less than the
fracture of the staff of life. The do
mestic economy with the domestic out
of it is paralyzed. The old saying,
TOO many cooks spoil the broth"
has ceased to mean anything, because
TOO many cooks would be an incred
ible superfluity. How much is the
mistress to concede? Is the cook to
have breakfast served to her in bed?
Is she to be allowed to give nightly
parties in the kitchen when she does
not carry away meat and vegetables
and elect TO spend the evening else
where? Any disciplinary measure
may produce flare-up and resig-
,-nation.
The tired business man can easily
frown over his newspaper at his wife
and say Il wouldn't let her talk to
me that way. Why don't you dis
charge herr" That just shows how
little the good man knows of the
problem of getting anybody at all to
do the work and keeping the peace
even imperfectly The disciplinarian
of the business office has his whip
hand in the fact that there is
waiting list for business chances. But
good cooks command their own price

affinities in the way of diffident
