SOME SILLY TALK.

"The proposition to eliminate the
name German from German fried pota-
toes because of the war, is a bit of
foolishness unworthy the American
people," says the Burlington Hawkeye.
at is not patriotism; it is Grass stu
pidity. A similar case broke loose in
England when the war began. The
pending suggestion in America now is
TO do away with any and every Ger
man name of food or commodities.
That is childishness.
There is, however, a broader, wor-
thier and more useful suggestion pend
ins among hotel and restaurant man
agers-the elimination of all foreign
names on bills of fare and the substi-
tuition of the English name of the ar
ticle. That is not because of the war
hut for the very practical purpose of
enabling Americans who as a rule, are
too familiar with French, German,
Spanish and Italian names of foods TO
order what they want without embar-
ia ssment. Such a practice would be
sensible and popular. For why should
the potato, the once humble and now
aristocrateiC, seek to conceal its habi-
tat under the French mask of "pomme
de terre?" Or why should the Ameri-
can dinner be served with 'consomme'
when he wants a delicate soup, or
with "potage au gras" when he is hun
CRY for substantial meat soup? Or,
when coffee with cream is desired
why should the detachable beverage
play game of hide and seek on the
menu card behind cafe au lait?" AS
for potato au gratin"-O cheese it!
IF the war brings relief TO the Amer
lean people in this respect, there will
be an added justification for American
participation.
But not the cultivation of the be-
litetling stigma, or the nursing of rae
ial hatred"

HONOR FOB PENN COLLEGE.

Penn college has received another
honor in the fact that she has been
put in the "A class of colleges by
the National Religious Education As
ISOLATION. This classification is
based on the amount and character
of the biblical work offered. 1t has
reference to equipment, course of
study and the teaching force and lays
emphasis upon the number and char
acter of books in the biblical library,
the maps, charts, ETC., used, the
amount and character of the work in
the course of study and the prepare
ton and number of the teaching
force.
Only sixty-four institutions in the
United States are eligible to be placed
in the "A" grade; five of these sixty
four are Friends institutions, Penn
being one of the five. Only three
Iowa colleges, two besides Penn are
given this ranking by the National
Religious Education Association.

head OF the Biblical Department of

mistakes Europe made at the begin
ming of the war with regard to child
protection. He said:
Eve should make up our minds at
once that if we have to enter the war
at least our children shall not feel the
war tension as the English, French
and other European children did. Re
ports from most belligerent countries
are meager, but we know that in Eng
land at least the School system has in
large measure broken down. Children
of eleven years are excused from
school to go to work and about 100000
children less than II years old left
school for work in 1915. Jevenile de-
linqUency in England has increased "a
per cent, and the reasons for this are
the breaking down. of the educational
system, the stopping of settlement,
club and child welfare work, the pre-.
mature employment of children in ar
riculture and munitions factories, to,
gethor with the loss of homie influenc'
es.. With his father at the front and
his mother in a factory small boy has
no one to keep him from going wron%
Here in America we must keep up ouI
education and child welfare work at
all costs and not let the seriousness oil
international affairs obliterate for us
our sense of duty to our children. The
children should be the last to feel the
war"

U. S. SHOULD USE MORE INK
Admen Insist Government Should
Advertise for Men and Money
and Pay For II.

Des Moines April 1S.-Advertising
for the mobilization of men for the
military and naval organizations of
the country and for the raising Of
money by the sale of bonds should be
undertaken by the federal govern
ment on a business basis, according
to resolutions adopted by the Des
Moines Advertising club.
The club took the stand that ad-
vertising is a commodity which the
publisher has for sale as the farmer
sells his food products and that the
publishers should no more be expect
ed to contribute his merchandise than
should the farmer.
The resolutions indorse the action
of the national advertising advisory
board in Offering it's services to the
nation without cost for the direction
of campaign of paid advertising to
mobilize either men or money for the
war.
The resolution also expresses the
belief that such a campaign would be
an investment rather than an eX-
pense in that it will reduce the cost
of securing recruits and that it will
enable the government to foot its
| 81 zoo, 100000 loan at 3 per cent in
stead of 3h per cent, thereby ac-
complishing a great saving to the
country.
Governor Harding was the guest
of the club and spoke in high COM
mendation of the backing given by it's
membership for the passage of the
clean advertising bill, declaring that
, the sentiment in favor of it augured
we'll for great advance still to come
in the elevation Of ideas and practices
in the advertising business.
! He said there is still room for ele-
walton of the truthful character of
news stories in newspapers and that
it should be the duty of the advertis-
ing men to seek correction in this
respect as a step toward the cultiva-
ton of confidence in the public which
reods both advertisements and news
stories.

MISSING THEIR CHANCE.

Advocates Of retrenchment in ex-
penditures for supplying the family
dinner, may know all about the
chemistry OF food. but it is evident to
the Chicago Daily News, that they
know very little about human nature
Any competent advertising man
would tell them that their approach
is bad and their follow-up system
even worse.
They do not, in the first place, un-
derstand what they are dealing with,
being under the misapprehension
that they are making an appeal to
reason. They are not. They are
appealing to appetite. When one
talks about food one ELECTS the acute
interest of the appetite, but the rea-
SON yawns and goes away from there.
The reformers announce, for ex-
ample, that they will tell how TO pre-
pare delicious substitute for porter
house steak, thus making tactical
blunder by inadvertently conceding
the charms OF porterhouse steak. The
aroused appetite takes notice OF
something ii knows and accepts the
rest OF the talk as merely confirma-
tory OF the charms Of porterhOuse
steak When the talk is ended the

classification. Professor Kelsey has
given much attention to the equip
ment of his department and it is safe
to say that there is no better selection
of books in any library Of the size
which Penn college possesses than he
has collected for the use Of the bib
licaf students.
Penn is justly proud of this honor.
In the development OF the library
which will come about by removal to
the new college plant, it is intended
to keep the number of books for the
use of the Biblical Department up to
high standard, both as to quantity
and quality. 1t is the plan also to
increase the opportunities in these
lines so that larger number of stu
dents may have the privileges which
should be afforded by a Christian
college.

FOOD Is WASTED.

(a)-When we eat more food than
our bodies need for growth and re
pair and to supply energy for our
work. Oyer-eating tends to poor
health and fat instead of Drawn,
makes rs sluggish and indolent in
stead of energetic and resourceful.
Eat enough and no more. Eat for
physical and mental efficiency.
b)-When food is burned or spoiled
in cooking. Improperly prepared or
poorly seasoned food will be left on
the table and probably wasted. Buy
food wisely and then prepare it care
fully.
(c)--When too much food is pre-
pared for a meal. Unserved por-
tons are apt to be thrown into the
garbage pail or allowed to spoil. Many
housekeepers do not know how to use
leftover foods to make appetizing
dishes.
(d)--When too much food is serv-
ed at a meal Uneaten portions are
left en- the plate and later thrown into
the garbage pail. Learn to know
the needs of your family and serve
each no more than you think he viii
want.
(e)-When anything edible is al
lowed to go to the garbage pail or al
lowed to spoil for lack of proper
handling. .
D-When food is handled careless
ly. Buy clean food, keep it clean I'M

cooking and serving. This lessons

ORGAN MUSIC FOR CHILDREN.

"In all the cities and larger towns
of the United States there are hun
dreds and thousands of boys and girls
who never hear good music; declares
DR.. 2. p. ClaXton, U. S. Commissioner
OF Education. IF they hear music at
ali, it is of the ragtime or vaudeville
type or the mechanical music of the
moving picture theatres. Some of them
hear and join in the Sunday school
songs to the accompaniment of small
organ or piano. OF music that appeals
to the best of their emotions, that stir&
the soul and helps to form good taste
in music, they hear little or none.
Many of these children live amid the
ugliness and sQualOr of the slums,
where there is little to appeal to, and
help from the sense Of beauty and
grandeur in light and color, form and
space Yet, in these same towns and
cities are scores and hundreds of cost
~ churches, beautiful, and attractive
in the vaulting of their ceilings, in the
tinting of their walls and the cOIors of
their windows and impressive in their
spaciousness. In almost every church
there is a great organ with its wide
range of tone and its possibilities of
harmonies which stir the soul to it's
depths and may help toward forming
better tastes and nobler ideals. But
these churches remain closed and the
organs silent while the children work
in the mills or play in the alleys and
their souls starve unconsciously.
why should not every church in
which there is good organ and which
has competent organist open its
doors freely to children between the
ages of eight or nine to seventeen or
eighteen for one hour every week at
such time as. may be most convenient
for the number of the children within
its reach and arrange for it's organist
to render for the children the best mu-
sic in their best style? Sometimes
the organ music might be varied by
orchestra and singing, but it should
never partake of the nature of a lesson

pear to be in any way didactic, nor
should any music low or trashy in its
nature be included in the program.
The music period should never be
more than an hour. The program
should be arranged for the young peo-
pie. The older people should of course
be admitted, but as the guests of the
children. Children should be permit
ted to come and go quietly. If ushers
are provided TO help them find seats,
there will be litetle danger of their
becoming noisy or disorderly. All chill
dren, the poor and rich alike, should
be invited and made to feel welcome
They should not be expected to dress
for the occasion. There should be
about the occasion no formality that
might tend to keep any children away
1t should be easy for newsboys, mes

A sARE-FooTED EUROPE.

"A farefooted Europe is not i'm
probable n this war continues" said
John f. StuckC, vice president of the
American chamber of commerce in
Italy and general manager of an
American shoe machine company, in
an interview concerning supply and
business conditions met by Ameri-
cans abroad.
AT the present time a pair OF
heavy mountain shoes lasts soldier
but six weeks" he said according to
a Rome dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
Quirer These shoes have their
heels and soles studded with nails at
that. The shoes are largely made
in Italy, but with American ma
chinery and American leather, and
the quality of the materials is the
best we can furnish, but that quality
is, of course, inferior to that sold be-
fore the war. When manufactured
by the hundred thousand these shoes
cost the government about 81 each.
But the supply is always behind the
demand, since materials arrive very
slowly from America. On one ship,
the Palermo, which was torpedoed in
the Mediterranean, off the coast of
Spain, in early December, the mater
ial for nearly 100000 pairs of shoes
was lost.
1.-The retail shoe trade in Italy is
now obliged to pay nearly 81 whole
sale for shoes that before the war
cost $3.50 and it is probable that
American shoes will be selling in Italy
soon for $40 and $12 the pair. The
American shoes, because of their
shape and fit, have long been the chief
product on the market here, and par
ticularly since the war, as the hand
made shoes cannot be made quickly
enough"

WAR. WEALTH AND PENSIONS.

Gen. Grant, Gen. Sherman, Gen. Lee
even George Washington, though
he was made president-made no
money from their successful cam
paigns; but for his services in the
South African war alone the late Lord
Roberts of England received from
parliament a grant of nearly $500, 900
in American money. Added to that
an earldom was conferred upon him
and he was made a knight of the Gar
ter and appointed commander in chief
of the army.
The late Lord Kitchener also won
a fortune by his successful campaign
ing. Parliament awarded him $25O,-
600 for his services in South Africa
and later added to that $15O,OO0 for
smashing the khalifa in the Sudan,
for which feat he also received his
seat in the house of lords.
The late Lord Wolseley received
from parliament 100000 at various
times and was also given a seat in
the house of lords for his triumphs
on the battle field, notably during the
Ashanti war; but it was the duke of
Wellington whose victories brought
in the greatest spoils, it having been
estimated that HRS fighting resulted
in fortune of more than $4,000, 900.
After the great campaign in the Ply
renees and the battles which sent
Napoleon to Elba, Wellington was
made a duke by his grateful country
and was given a grant of 81 100000
and his income made up to $G5,000 a
year
In consequence, when the French
emperor escaped from Elba and
made that triumphant march that
ended at Waterloo, the duke of Well
lington, returning hero to London,
perpleXed all England with the prob
lem OF how to reward him. The
highest hOnors and a great fortune
had already been given him, but par
lament added another $7,000,O00 to
his wealth, and he drew in addition
$500 900 in prize money, and the king
OF Portugal presented him with plate
worth more than $4,000.
This is one of the greatest fortunes
ever made in warfare, that is by pub
lie gift, for it Is said that the famous
duke of Marlborough made much
more, single campaign netting him
nearly s250,O00,00O.
Nor do the rewards that England
gives her soldiers consist merely In
fat sums of money or titles; in many
instances they take the form of pen
sions TO be continued for several gen
erations. Lord Napier of Magdala
received pension of $4,000 a year

Chicago, April 1S.-Ten thousand
officers will receive training this
summer at Fort Sheridan, Fort Brang,
Indiana, Fort Smelling Minnesota and
Fort Riley Kansas, according to plans
announced to-day by Major General
Thomas H. Barry commander OF the
central army department.
The maximum attendance at each
camp will be $500. The attendants will
be divided into fifteen companies for
first month and all trained alike for
that period. At the beginning of the
second month they will be organized
into nine infantry companies, two cav
airy troops, three artillery batteries
and one engineer company for the re-
naming two months.
The object of each organization
named is to train all members thereof
and finally select the officers for one
regiment and appoint the remainder as
additional reserve officers if compe-
tent. The attendance is limited to the
following: p ...-..
Reserve officers of the infantry, cav
airy, field artillery, coast artillery and
engineers, members of the reserve Of
fiecrs' training corps over 20 years and
8 months old, and other cadets stu
dents of the same age, graduates of
military schools and other citizens not
less than 90 years and months old
and not more that Al years old.

SCIENCE AND INVENTION.

The biggest rock crusher in the
world has just been built and put in
operation by firm of New York con-
tractors. This crusher will take
blokcs of limestone thirty feet long.
1t has a capacity of $4,000 tons of
stone a day. To fill it a single time
siXty-fiye tons of rock are required.
The crusher is thirty-four feet high,
about the height of two story build
ing. 1t is driven by a 800 horse
power motor The belt which turns
the three foot shaft is somewhat un-
usual, in that it consists of eighteen
manila ropes. each one and one-half
inches in diameter. BY the use of
these ropes continuous operation is
guaranteed, since if half of them
break the other nine ropes are enough
to keep the machine running, and re-
pairs can be made without stopping.

A new and simple method for rip
ening bananas has been devised by a
man in Idaho. As is well known,
bananas are shipped green from the
tropics and ripened in the warehouses
in this country. The new system
produces conditions for ripening sim
liar to those which prevail in the
tropical banana groves. The fruit
is hung from the ceiling in low, air
tight rooms. In each room vessels
of water are kept upon iron plates
which are heated from below by gas
flames. The temperature of the
room is maintained at 20 degrees and
the evaporation of the water keeps
the atmosphere heavily charged with
moisture. In this hot damp air the
bananas are said to ripen in very sat.
