Domestic Science and Living Costs.

The former attitude of women
toward homework was much like
the former attitude of the farm
ers toward agriculture. The
farmers said that they learned
all there was in farming from
their fathers, and consequently
did not need any further training.
They laughed when the agricul-
tural college experts came around
and tried to tell them new ways
of doing things. Now the farm
ers are learning that by attend
ing scientific farming schools,
taking short courses, reading
bulletins of experiment stations,
attending demonstrations etc. ,
they can greatly increase their
production. Many of the Corn
Club boys can beat their fathers
in corn raising.
Similarly women said they
learned all there was in house
work from their mothers. FIRE.
quently however their mothers
gave them no instruction nhouse-
work, preferring to give their
daughters a free life in society.
They thought the girls would
pick up homework after they
were married. Today many girls
come home from Domestic Sci
ence schools and can show their
mothers how a losing home can
be run at a profit on the hus-
bands income.
1t seems wrong that girls are
turned out from so many high
schools and academies with their
heads full of French, algebra,
and literature, yet knowing moth.
ing about the basic tasks of the
household, on the efficient per.
Torrance of which their marital
happiness will depend. Happily
classes in home economics are
now being formed in many high
schoolsand even the lower grades,
to instruct girls in household
tasks.
Also there is reported from the
Domestic Science schools a great
interest among factory and store
girls in learning homework.
Very frequently now classes are
formed of girls who are engaged
to be married, who will take g
course of study in cookery and
home economics. A prospective
husband could we'll afford to pay
high tuition costs to have his
bride elect take this study.

War and Politics.

The American citi zen has heard
80 much about pork and graft
and favoritism. that he has come
to regard it as a weary sort of
joke. 1t is to him an abominable
abuse. But it seems rooted in
the nature of things, ineradicable
But if war should come as the re-
suit of Germany's latest defiance
the politicians will have to dc
some big explaining for things
as they are.
Our people look with some
scorn at Europe for tolerating
such useless baggage as kings
and thrones and lords. Yet we
have our own bosses who are
quite powerful and much more
mischievous.
On the whole the conduct of
the war in Europe seems to have
been fairly honest. Producers
nave been all grabbing for prof
its of course, as the camp fol-
lowers of any war invariably do.
There has been plenty of stupid
ity and plenty of red tape. But
outside of Russia there has been
no wholesale complaint of fraud
ilent supplies. One has to 60
back to our own little summer
holiday war of 1898 to find any
badly offensive odor.
But suppose in the present ext.
gency, war should come. Sup.
pose Germany escapes from her
bonds of steel, and places a fleet
of battleships in New York har-
Dor and Long Island sound read,
to attack the'coast cities and the
big mi milton plants. Our poll
ticians will have to do a lot OF
explaining for many deplorable
conditions that have continued
despite the indignant protest O.
both the army and the navy.
Carrying Congressional d ;.
tricts and pleasing the store keep
ers near navy yards and army
posts would look pretty small
with an enemy pounding on our
doors. Keeping army posts
where they were needed to fight
the Indians would not be accept.
ed as an excuse for the destruc.
ton of munition plants needed
for national protection. 1t was,
thought that after the revelations
of the Cuban war, our politicians
would have learned a lesson.
But it is not recorded that any
Congressman ever admitted that
a navy yard or army post in his
own district was useless.

NOVELS OF GREAT LENGTH
Modern Serials Do Not Compare at
All With Those That Gave Pleas
ure to Our Ancestors.

The historian Freeman once said:
"I never let a man die at the end
Of a chapter" The modern serial,
or continued story, exempliies a like
theory Of pausing at the very brink
Of an absorbing event. We con-
slider a year-long serial one of con-
siderable length; yet in France, in
1910, the first two parts Of the GAS
tree" one of the most celebrated
Of Gallo novels, were published four
Or five years before the third part,
and several more in advance Of the
fourth and fifth parts.
About the same time huorished
Mile. de Scudery, memorable as the
author of the first romances Of any
note written by a woman. She COM
posed and published by installments
novels of a length unknown to the
readers of today. Every story was
originally issued in patches Of small
o%ctaves, sometimes running to a
score or so. She has been described
as "the most pitiless writer Of fc-
ton hal the world has ever known"
The same seventeenth century il
Illustrates, again, the willingness Of
French writers to bide their time.
The poet Malherhe wished to console
a friend on the death Of his wife.
By the time the poem was finished
the gentleman had been consoled,
remarked, and was himself dead

Ponies and Horses.

I have been asked a great many
times if ponies are really more in
telligent than full sized horses.
They certainly appear to be. But
the intelligence Of any horse will
develop under petting and human
companionship, and there is no
doubt that other horses, if given the
same privileges that ponies enjoy
and if their size admitted Of their
being handled and managed in the
sar-o way, would prove equally in
t%elligent Outing.

PORTLAND, Or, June 5.-Ore-

ed by majority of 16, 900 the So
100000 road bonds bill, accord
ing to incomplete returns early
today.
Early returns indicate the de-
feat of measures authorizing tax
levy to finance Improvements to
the state prison, limiting legisla-
tive bills and authorizing an in
crease in legislators pay and pro-
hibiting implied recall of parts OF

Incomplete totals show that the
voters favored measures provid-

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June r.
Congress has decided President
Wilson is a candidate for a third
term.
Political plans and legislative
activities are proceeding on this
assumption.
Many people will feel that the
third term question is premature
at this time.
Nevertheless there must be a
present answer to the third-term
question for every man who lives
in politics.
VIII Champ Clark be the next
democratic candidate?
VIII Roosevelt have his hat in
the ring again?
Will the next campaign be
fought on the war issue?
These questions every member
of the house and nearly every
member of the senate, have been
discussing in cloak rooms.
A president finishing his last
term, and about to go into pri-
vate life, is less powerful than a
president beginning eight years OF
presidential office.
Even Roosevelt. 1t will be re-
membered, after he had an
nouncei he would retire at the
end of his second term, became
the object of bitter attack by enc
mics within and without his party
who, up to that time, had been re-
strained by political prudence.
If President Wilson were to an
nounce today that after March 4,
1920. he would be a private citi-
zen. his "big stick" would begin
rapid dwindling and many poll
ticians-democra and republi-
cans--now restrained by rear,
would go after him savagely.
President Wilson has naturally
