TEACHING FRENCH CHILDREN
PATRIOTISM.

"Thcre are people," says French
schoolmaster, "who say, .One does
not learn to love ones country They
dceivei themselves; one learns to love
ones country as one learns anything
else."AIt is in France that children
are taught to love their country, just
as they are taught arithmetic and
spelling.
Unto the heart of the little boy
sitting on the bench of, the village
school is instilled the ideal of defen-
ding his country as he would his
family. as he would his mother"
writes Jonathan French Scott in.
Patriots in the Making ID. Appleton
& Company. "But it is not for wars
sake that these writer's teach. They
do not attempt to attract the support
of youth to the policy Of conquest by
yelling in mist of glory and mise
ries and horrors Of battle. Of this
their fill before 1870" The Children
aggressions of Napoleon against Eu-
rope, of Louis XIV against Holland.
"However painful the sacrifice
may be, young people, it is necessary
to denounce this war-loving spirit.
France is now at an age when the
serious work of the brain is being
substituted for violent action. Let the
war-loving spirit yield to the military
spirit.
"The military spirit is that of a
people resolved not to make any at
tempt against the independence of
its neighbors."
The author has little hope of seeing
the day when war will be regarded
as butchery. So French schools boys
are prepared.
ain war, courage and steadiness
are necessary evry minute. To march
in weather icy cold or burning hot,
often with wounded feet, to lie on
the damp earth, to suffer thirst and
hunger: all this must be endured
gaily. Those who complain are bad
comrades, for encouragement is con-
tagiousJ
"In the day of battle, the terrible
roar Of the cannon makes the heart
beat and brings the cold sweat; :. &.

but the brave quickly recover their
coldness. They save their cartridges:
If possessed of hundred riflemen
perfectly calm, a regiment would be
invincible. A story is told of battle
in 1881 where it took al cannon shots
and $4,000 rifle shots to kill seventy
Arabs. In Afghanistan, the English
at 800 meters fired $4,000 times, and
killed twenty-five enemies! Twelve
calm men who aim TRANQUILITY are
worth regiment of FOOLS"
Thus, from early years, the French
lad is taught the meaning of courage
and GOODNESS.

ON DISTINGUISHING.

Although people recognize that
public drinking cups are germ car
riers, for some strange reason the
DISTINGUISHING in restaurants has gone
on uninvestigated. Not long ago a
number of restaurants in New York
were inspected, and the conclusions
of the Investigators printed in the
American Journal of Public Health.
1t was hardly necessary for tests
to prove the presence of thousands of
bacteria after the dishes had been
washed,
The glasses used ut the drinking
fountains of the average quick-lunch
restaurant are not washed at all.
After use, they are rinsed off and
placed upside down to drain.
The dish-washing process is sub
stantially the same in all places. The
dishes are placed in large dioh-pans
containing warm soap-water, are
rubbed with a dish-cloth, then rinsed
in another dish-pan containing warm
water.
There should be a law requiring
that all dishes be subjected to water
at temperature of 80 degrees for
one minute before they are served to
the next patron. In large eating
places mechanical dish-washers should
be used. Because the dishes are put
first into swiftly circulating soap
water, then into boiling clean water
several times, then set on edge to dry
in the air, they ar almost completely
sterilized.

BOLIVIA APPROVES

Buenos Aires, Feb. 10.-Official word

This official information was that
Bolivia had not definitely determined
as yet to break relations with Ger
many, but that the republic had def
nitely aligned herself with the United
States.

officials tonight that Bolivia had been
influenced in her action by American
capital, which, II was declared, con

BELIEVE QUESTION
WILL BE ADJUSTED

Washington, Feb. 10.---State officials
expressed their personal-not official
belief tonight that the question of ar
mament for American merchantmen
would be adjusted soon.
This statement, with official hints
during the day, led to the belief that
the navy soon will furnish four inch
guns to liners desiring them.
President Franklin, of the Ameri-
can line, is putting the whole question
up to the government. He cannot get
guns for his ships except through the
navy department and apparently is
endeaVoring to have the government
take more flatfooted course than it
has already done. Thus far, the de-
partment has advised that liners may
take protective steps, il they believe
there is danger.
This does not satisfy the American
line and it is evidently determined to
force the issue.

HENRY FORD GIVEN
THOMAS A. EDISON
A BIRTHDAY PARTY

East Orange. N. j., Feb. 10.-Henry
Ford and 1000 Of his employees gave
Thomas A. Edison the greatest birth
day party of his life tonight. The
party was built around a 7-foot cake.
on which We're 20 candles, topped by
miniature electric bulbs and surround
ed at the base by small motors and
electrical contrivances of all sorts
such a cake as might well open the
eyes of the youth of the entire nation.
1t opened the eyes Of the Edison
boys, for after it had been presented
by John w. Reid, of the New York
Edison company, and placed before
the electrical wizard. it developed that
it's top was of steel. This lifted, the
interior contained individual packages
of cake for every one of the 1000 men
present.
Edison was cheered wildly, but
smiled and smiled and waved his
hands-and said nothing. Then calls
came for Ford but he baked and
wouldn't talk. Many old Edison boys
spoke and paid tribute to the master
electrician. A message from President
Wilson was read, expressing regret at
his inability to be present, and say
ing he was proud to be president of the
nation that had produced an Edison.
St Louis sent big book of congrat-
ulations, signed by the governor OF
Missouri and $4,000 citizens of st.
Louis. A dress suit case full of mes
sages was dumped on the table and
many of them read.
The fourth floor of the Edison stor-
age battery building was brightly dec
Grated and brilliantly lighted by an in
direct lighting system. The walters
were organized to military and scienti-
fic precision and the Edison band
played the Edison Birthday March,
