posture to water of a temperature
sufficiently high to kill all non-spore
bearing organisms.
1.-The significance of the deductions
with reference to the difference in
efficiency between the two methods
lies in the fact that uncleanliness in
dishwashing has a bearing upon the
welfare of the entire consuming pub
lic whether the meals are eaten at
home or purchased over counter,
or at a table.
"In the average home dishwashing
is not a remarkably hygienic process.
The water is usually below the tenn
perature necessary for destroying
bacteria. because the dishwasher
must frequently dip her hands into
the pan containing the soapy water.
The soap itself plays very little part
in the disinfection of knives. forks
spoons, cups, glasses, plates, or
other table utensils utilized during
the preparation or consumption of
food. Unclean dishtowels are too
generally employed for the drying
of dishes which perhaps may have
been reasonably free from infective
material. Rapidly in dishwashing
is not unnatural in the busy house
hold where the routine of dishwash-
ing is not regarded so much as a
matter of hygiene as a problem in
esthetics, and where the desire to
get out of the house for purposes of
pleasure or shopping makes speed
matter of primal interest. Further
more, the practice of permitting
soiled dishes to accumulate or to re-
main smeared with notwithstanding
detritus, attracting flies or insects
and possibly rodents, is hardly con.
ducing to insuring cleanliness of
tableware at the next usage.
ut is obvious that the character
of cleanliness in homes can be i'm
proved only through the education
of the wife, and by the insistence of
physicians that hygienic principles
be observed when infectious disease
inflicts a household. 1t is possible
to protect the public from general
carelessness, ignorance, or haste in
public eating places, by passing or
dinances demanding that all eating
utensils in public places be subject
to temperature of at least 80 de-
grees c. for one minute before they
utilized by other patrons.
DISTINGUISHING may appear to be a
trifling detail. but the science of
hygiene is built up of trifles. Per
lection in hygiene is attained only
by attention to the little things -

Pocifsts Lose Banners

TStar Corespondencel

on BOARD THE PACIFIST SPE-
CIAL, SCHENECTADY, Aug. 3o.-The
pacifst skyrocket which was set off at
the Weehawken station of the West
Shore Railroad at o'clock this after
noon, when sixty-nine officials Of the
Peoples Council and allied anti-war
propagandists started on special
train for their peace conference at Hud-
son, Wis, is sweeping tonight across
the country in a condition Of tremulous
uncertainty. The pacifists are asking
this question: when the rocket reaches
Hudson will il burst into an impressive
peace boom or will it subside into a
fizzle?"
The shifting of the conference to
Hudson. Wis, late tonight followed
the receipt of information that the
citizens of Fargo, \. D., were antag-
onistic TO the peace project. IL was
learned that a large auditorium was
available in Hudson. and the presence
of the pacifsts in Senator La Follette's
state was not unwelcome TO the citi-
Zens there.
Pacifists Are at Sea
The misplacing of the banners and
streamers which were TO be draped
about the train to arouse peace senti-
ment en- route, the failure of many
delegates TO entrain and the discovery
that there is no unanimous opinion on
the exact purpose of the expedition
aroused apprehension as TO the out
come of the conference before the train
had been under way an hour.
IL was the intention to drape the
train with peace propaganda and at
tract attention with such inscriptions
as Lets knock the Moe out OF Democ-
racy" and "Shall 100000 conscripts
die? Then shall l00,000,000 Americans
know the reason why"
The placards had been printed, but
as the pac:fsts boarded their train they
learned that the propaganda had been
lost somewhere in New York. 1t was
explained that a careless sign painter
had inadvertently go. lost on his way
TO the train.
Another annoyance TO the paclfists
was that some of their delegates also
were lost. Almost one thousand were
TO have boarded the train. When the
conductor counted them up there were
only 60. l.. Hollngsworth Wood, Roger
Y. Baldwin and the Rev. Norman NJ.

American Union Against Militarism, did

The party that was driven from the
CITY were not harmed. owing to an
impessioned appeal from County At
torney y. O. Varnum, who urged the
mob 10 let them go quietly and not
commit violence. Action of the crowd
was caused by public meeting in
front Of the armory, where speeches
were made, after adopting resolutions
IF protest against the peace conference.
Threatened With Tar
The mass meeting dissolved into a
mob and jammed into the Chaplin Hall,
a leading hotel, where Charles Kruse,
Miss Margolies and two other women
were sitting in the lobby. Major Camp
bell shook a petition beneath the nose
of Mr. Kruse, protesting against the
conference, and demanded he sign IT.
Kruse held his ground and so did the
women. He would not sign.
Get a rope!" some one shouted.
"Get the tar and feathers" said an
other. Hang EN-" shouted third.
County Attorney Varnum, however,
saved the now thoroughly frightened
outfit by appealing TO the crowds better
Judgment. He succeeded in calming
the mob on the promise of kruse and
the women, given with trembling lips,
TO leave town a. once.

A way was made for them TO get their
stuff out of their rooms. They were
given short time even TO do this and

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-A price Of
s2.20 a bushel was fixed for the 1917
crop of wheat by President Wilson to-
night on the recommendation of the
Wheat Price Committee, headed by DR.,
II. A. Garfield. The basis will be No.
Northern spring wheat delivered at
Chicago.
The committee finally agreed late
this afternoon, after several days OF
voting. Representatives Of the pro-
ducers began by voting for price Of
$3.50 and labor's representatives for
Sl.84. The two extremes eventually
narrowed down until the votes were
only few cents apart. Both factions
appeared uncompromising at the start.
On the basis Of S2.20 at Chicago the
food administration worked out to-
night difrerentials for the various
grades and classes and for the several
terminals. Under this the New York
price will be 10 cents above the Chi
cago figure.

New orleans. Dec. IA fairly good
demand sprang up on the opening of
the cotton market here today and
caused a rise OF 9 TO L. poln's. This
Improvement brought out selling OF the
same sort that featured the sessions
last week and prices promptly fell off,
standing TO IL points under Saturdays
close at the end of the first half hour.
Bullish predictions concerning the gin

the market better tone, after the
decline had been carried to level l6

At noon, prices were at a net advance
OF II To l6 points.
