Observe the innumerable,

Into these tiny wood pores

For paint to enter the wood

ter only, to the girls of the Sopho- more and Junior years. During this semester, the following subjects are introduced in connection with the cooking; marketing, caloric values, dietics, technical preparation, serv- ing, utilization of waste, nutrition, etc. Next semester, house planning, home keeping, ventilation, care of the sick, interior decoration, advanc- ed sewing, etc, will be offered. It is in order to correlate this work with the home, that we offer five whose parents will certify to the fact that their child has put in ten hours in work around the house every week
 This year, under the capable in struction of skillful domestic science teacher, these two ideals have been instilled in the children "The Elegance of Simplicity" and the Conservation of Food" A great deal of time has been spent in the canning of fruits and vegetables. These specimens are in stock and are to be put on exhibition later. Next, the pupils prepared a number of delectable dishes, using corn meal as the principal ingredient. Then, in order, cereal cooking and rice preparation were taken up.
 The girls are highly enthusiastic over the program they have made in technical achievement and in the ability to prepare such appetizing dishes so economically. For in stance, but one salad has been taught this year. A few tomatoes, peppers and half pound of nuts comprised the total amount used by the class. Wednesday, the first meat lesson was given-forty- five cents, invested in round steak, pro vided lesson material for fifteen girls-cost three cents per pupil, And so it goes To date, including the initial cost for stocking up, the average cost has been about $4.36 per week for a class of fifteen pupils or about seven cents per lesson per pupil. Bearing in mind that cooking is given for a double period, four times week, this means that about

three and one-half cents per reef tation period per pupil.
 While not entirely self supporting, the domestic science department has accumulated a fund approximating one hundred dollars and by means of money accruing from the sale of candy and lunches at the Parent Teachers Association, hopes to add to this contingency fund
 Undoubtedly, the patrons are sat isfied that the school is doing it's part in spreading the gospel of con servation and are happy in the pay ing of such a nominal sum for the efficient teaching of a subject so full of possibilities and potential in fluence for good on the people of this community.

SAUSALITO, Nov 15.-The ark dwellers who form picturesque colony in the bay off here, are grad ually moving to land habitations Since the closing of the Tiburon, near by, as a port of call for rail road passenger traffic, the arks have been disappearing, until now but small part of the original col ony remains.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
 IS TWIN SISTER
 TO CONSERVATION

DOUGLAS, Nov. 15.-In these try ing times, it is but just to demand that all the agencies of society-the home, the government, the schools, etc-should pass the crucial test of conservation of materials without marked loss of efficiency. Our pa irons expect, and indeed have a right to require, that our high school home arts department point the way in this regard.
 No one appreciates this fact more than the teachers concerned in the work and so I want to explain, through the medium of The Empire, how our household arts department is endeavoring to carry out the plans of MT Hoover and to put into prac- tice the ideals he is trying to i'm press upon us.
 Just a word, first, about the study Household Arts" This subject has the enthusiastic support of the edu- cators of the country because it not only is of great utilitarian import ance but also possesses valuable educational significance. A course which deals with cookery only, be- comes mere trade training, but the household arts course is more than this-it not only trains for busi- ness which lasts as long as life lasts and through the medium of which. a girl is prepared for good citizenship, but while giving this training, it is also concerned with the learning faculties and the medication of new and abiding concepts. And the edu- cator is interested with the turning out of good housekeepers, she is still more vitally concerned with the ques- Have the pupils grown in in telligence and discrimination while under my tution?"
 For our present purpose, I shall not attempt to explain the work car ried on in the sewing classes in Grades 2, 8, and g, but will explain the cooking course or Cooking 10, as it is called.

NEW GERMAN BOAT
 AFTER AMERICAN PLAN

LONDON, Nov. 15.-The attack made on British vessels patrolling the Belgian coast by an electrically controlled high-speed boat, which the British destroyed, leads to the belief that the boat is a device sim liar to the radio-controlled torpedo with which the United States has been experimenting. Patents for a device of that character were ob- tained by Rear Admiral Fiske 20 years ago. John Hays Hammond, Jr., has evolved motor boat which can be controlled from a shore sta tion by use of radio key. and it is believed the Germans have sim liar device.

ANOTHER TEACHER NOT LIKELY

DOUGLAS, Nov. 15.-Trustee Gurr of the night school, has received a letter from Judge Jennings in an swer to a request for another teach CT for the local night school in addi- tion to the staff now employed. Judge Jennings points out in his let ter that only $5,000 was appropriat- ed for night schools in the entire Territory, making $1,250 for each district. As $400 has already been appropriated for the Douglas school and as there is a school being con Ketchikan, 1t is not probable that any more of the appropriation can be given Douglas.

One Woman's Belief In Universal

AUTHOR or EMINENT VERSE.

A Member Of the visilantes, a Com
rnittee Composed Of We'll Known
Authors and Literary Folk, States
Her War Litany-Extraet From Poem.
Following is the patriotic creed OF
the well known poetess Marion Cou-
thouy Smith:
/ believe In universal military train
ing and service for the following rea-
sons:
F1rst.-Because ] believe IN democ-
racy, and ! cannot honorahly have the
privileges of FREQ government unless
| am willing 10 fulfill its obligations
Equal rights imply equal responsible
ties.
Second.-Beeause believe In citi-
zen soldiery rather than large stand
ing army. The latter is essentially an
autocratic institution and is the only
form Of service that may degenerate
into that sort Of predominance over the
civilian element which we call militia.
rism.
Third.-Because the volunteer system
has been proved inadequate in national
emergencies. II involves inequalities
In service. In privilege. In caste. In no
sponsbility and In opportunities for
training. We must apply democracy
to service aud make readiness part
Of every mans life from the start.
Fourth.-Because the system OF uni-
yersal training has succeeded In other
