THE SALUTE

Chicago Tribune: A callow youth,
privileged to write for one Of the ever
ing papers from Camp Grant, declares
that "the salute must CO." that "the
American people are no given to per-
hitting themselves to be lowered So
cially by any mark of Difference"
We suggest that the individual writ
irg this ignorant nonsense for a met
ropolitan paper be brought back and
given a few iudimentary lessons in
what the salute-either military or
civilian-means. We do not know
where he was bred. il he was bred at
all, but it Is time il he is to write at

ORGANIZE SHEEP CLUBS

Sheep growing clubs are being or
ganized among South Dakota boys and
girls by the State college extension

Membership in the clubs is open to
all farm boys and girls between the
ages of 10 and IS years, and applica-
tons for enrolment must be made be-
fore November Is. addressing the State
Leader of Boys and Girls Clubs,

living within a radius of three miles,
may group themselves together TO
form a sheep growing club. At least
ten head of grade breeding ewes
should be purchased by each club.
From two to ten head may be pur-
chased by each club member accord
ing to his power to pay and care for
them.
An achievement pin will be awarded
TO each member completing the work
and other prizes doubtless will be Civ
en- by county and state fair assonia-
tons. Awards will be based upon pro-
duction of mutton, 40 per cent; tlceces
Is per cent; cost of production per
pound of gain and profit in investment,
25 per cent and record 90 per cent.
Boys and girls may obtain full par
t~iculars by writing the State Collega

COMPARE FOOD COSTS

A comparison of food costs in the
principal cities of the United States
made by the health department of New
York shows the cheapest wholesome
dietary for a family of five, consisting
of man. wife and three children, costs
50 50 a week in Chicago, which is more
than any other city in the country.
The same standard costs 1857 a
week in New York City, 1925 in New
Orleans. $914 in Boston and 1912 in
San Francisco. The average for 81
cities and towns in the United States
was $943.

that no man, American or otherwise,
is lowered socially" by any mark OF
Difference" A man is lowered soci-
ally" by the neglect of marks Of de-
ference. not by yielding them.
The salute in the army-and this is
true of all armies except the army that
ran away before the Germans in Rus
STA recently-is a symbol of the dis
cipline without which an army is an
~ungovernable mob which a handful
of real soldiers can put to rout. The
young ignoramuS who writes from
Camp Grant asks: why should an
American citizen humble himself to
every stripe or collar mark that indi-
Gates a grade higher in the service
than himself?' The answer is that he
does not humble himself. The salute
is a mark of respect not given to the
individual but to the rank, therefore
soldier IS supposed to be an Intelligent
part. therefore the salute is in a sense
a salute to ones self. The salute to
the hat cord Of the second lieutenant,
the thin bar of the first lieutenant.
is a salute to the principle of order,
of discipline, or organized effort. 1t
is therefore answered by the superior
rank. Neither the private who salutes
nor the major general who returns the
salute has lowered himself a hair
breadth. socially or any other way, any
more than has a civilian who has
dotted his hat to a woman. a white
haired old man or the flag of his IL
try.

Police Seek Youth Who
Flirted Near Young
WOman'S Home
DESCRIPTION LIKE
THAT OF A SUSPECT
Father Denies That F amiIy
Has Withheld Information
from Detectives

Information received by the police
yesterday may establish the identity of
the young man, who enticed girl, be-
lieved to be Ruth Cruger, into taxi
cab at l27th Street and Manhattan
Avenue.
The chauffeur of the cab has already
told detectives that he took the pair to
the subway station at 125th Street and
Lenox Avenue. That was all he knew
about them.
Yesterday, however, the police learned
that a young man, whose description
tallies with that of the taxicab passen-
ger, was seen frequently in the viein-
ity OF the Cruger girls home. He was
apparently anxious, it is said, TO cul-
tivate the acquaintance OF young
women, was good looking and had
pleasing manners.
Efforts Prove Successful
His campaign was so successful in
one case that he received permission
to call, and did call, at the young
woman's home. A few days later the
girl in question mentioned her caller to
a school friend. The second girl re-
marked, "Why, that's odd, had call
part of il is I seem to have met him
under almost identical circumstances.
So the girls compared stories. They
were the same. There was no room for
doubt but that both had received calls
from the same young man. The enter.
tanning stories he told one, he had told
tn eother. He had followed the same
formula in cultivating each scquaint-
ance.
Il was not long until the young man
asked one Of the young women out TO
dine. She told him their acquaintance
ship was at an end.
The detectives believe that Ruth
Cruger, TOO, may have been made an OBJ
ject of this youths attentions, and, be-
ing less fortunate than the older girls,
she may have put faith in his words.
The detectives know the name the man
used, and where he said he lived.
Father Protests to Woods
Henry D. Cruger, of $50 Claremont
Avenue, the father, called on Police
Commissioner Arthur Woods TO Protest
against the report that the police feel
that the family has been reluctant 70
put certain facts of Ruth's life before
the detectives.
81 told him such talk is absurd" said
Mr.. Cruger. 81 do believe the police
have asked many useless questions and
have wasted time, but we have told
them everything"
Mr.. Cruger has released the first set
of private detectives he employed and
engaged the William J. Burns agency
Mr.. Burns has taken charge, and in a
conference with Mr.. Cruger said it was
his opinion that Ruth had been kid
mapped.

$l,250,000 Library
Planned by Board of
Teachers College
Fund of. S250,000 Already ir
Hand, Campaign Is Started
TO Raise Million More

Plans 20 build a huge library for
Teachers College at Columbia Univer-
sity we're announced yesterday after
noon by Professor David Eugene Smith,
chairman of the faculty committee on
buildings, at meeting in Milbank
chapel.
The new building, according 70 Pro-
fessor Smith. will cost 81 .250,00 OF
which S250,000 has already been raised
by two anonymous gifts, and the board
of trustees has started a campaign to
get the rest
The library will be situated on l20th
Street. between Whittier Hall and
Teachers College, overlooking the Co
lumbia gymnasium, and will be at least
six stories high. II will contain two
large auditoriums on the second floor.
Dean James L. Russell, in address
ing the meeting yesterday, said that
the criticism OF the proposed expert
mental school endowed by the Rookie
Teller Foundation was merely a repeti-
ton of the encouragement that Teach
ers College had received from skeptics
in all its pioneer work in education.
But the success of the Horace Mann
School and the Speyer School, the two
experimental institutions which Teach
ers College has supervised since 1900,
ne said. had given the authorities con-
fidence in the new venture.
In the last seventeen years, Dean
Russell added, 100000 pages had been
printed in books for sale about the re-
suits in the two research schools. and
many innovations started in them.
such as the use Of schools as social
centres for other members OF the fam
lily, had been generally adopted
throughout the country.
Professor Ernest Norton Henderson,
Of Adelphi College, Brooklyn, WAS
elected president Of the Alumni Col
legc OF Teachers College, and Miss
Valentine Chsndor, Of the Charlton
School, New York, wa. chosen alumni
trustee and approved by the board Of
trustees.

impersonation of the Roman actress a
praiseworthy il not entirely veritable
