Early strollers on the beaches as
far north as Belmar recently recov-
cred from the surf enough food to stock
q country grocery, says a Sea Grit
N. Y, dispatch to the New York Times.
The fiotsam included canned goods
of many sorts, but mostly tomatoes
and asparagus; n mar carried home
three tubs of good butter and many
clothesbaskets full of lemons, all OF
which were fresh and hard. Submarine
activity was secuted as a cause for the
%pickings, but one guess as to their
origin was that some vessel, a warship
or possibly a big yacLt, returning from
a long cruise had passed up the coast
and her crew had era2tied the larder
overheard so as to bs certain of abso-
lutely fresh provisions when next thag

The Narrow World,

At the fresh newspaper reminder
that his sudden bound upward from
the laboring ranks to the executive
headship Of the irrigation project had
merely made him a more conspicuous
target for the man-hunters, Smith
scanted himself Of sleep and r%edoubled
his efforts to put the new company on
a sound and permanent footing. In
the nature of things he felt that his
own shift must necessarily be short.
The more or less dramatic coup in
Timanyoni High Line had advertised
him thoroughly. He was rapidly COM

The proper attitude of a mar to-

The Revolutionary war could have
been avoided simply by submitting to
England's oppression. The wars OF
1872 and OF 1S45 could have been avoid
ed by the course now advocated by the
pacifists of the United States. The war
of 1905 could have been avoided II
President Lincoln had refused to fight.
The Spanish American war was mex
cusable from the standpoint of the
paciflsts And now, they say, we should
submit to the Baiser's outrages and re-
fuse to defend the rights and lives OF
our citizens. Neither President Lin :
coin. President Mckinley nor President
Wilson ever sought war. On the other
hand they stood for peace to the limit
of national endurance and self respect.
War is the most terrible of all hui
man experiences, but 1t has been dem
onstrated by all history to be newt
able. Germanys despotic ruler determ-
ined to drive the United States into this
war because he believes there are
enough of his own subjects and traitors
of their blood in this country to give
us an internal war. Then he hopes to
get Mexico and Japan to join him and
give us very serious trouble.
If Mexico should form an alliance
with Germany in this crisis the United
States should not permit the war to
end until she has crushed and CONQUER :
ed Mexico and annexed the territory
Not because we need OF want the ter
ritory. but to avoid future trouble. This
should have been done when our army
marched into Mexico City in the 4Os

patience and forbearance exerted by

These Serve as . Play Scheme as We'll

 Some of the California schools are equipped with novel fire escapes, which are not only a safeguard, but afford the children as much amusement as a regular playground equipment One of these fire escapes in Tropico, near Los Angeles, consists of several long sheet metal chutes. re-enforced with angle iron and secured to the walls of the building They extend from an iron platform on the second floor, which leads from the main corridor. Sepa- rate chutes are provided for the boys and girls.
 The teachers encourage the use of the slides as an amusement 10 accus- tom the children to them. Each slide ends in a slight upward curve to check the momentum of the descent. At the point where the children reach the ground pile of loose sand breaks the fall.
 In Venice, Cal, a spiral chute is em- plOyed, which is inclosed in cylin- drical metal casing. This is entered from a platform leading from the up- per story. Like the straight slide, 1t Is used as an amusement device by the pupils. A local hospital makes use of one of the same design.
