Miss Gordon's grievance, however, is
that pictures should be released the
day after they are made-before her

"Why, sometimes it is three months

the public, and then the things which

purpose of proving that a beautiful
woman can wear anything and still look
beautiful.

K1TTY GORDON'S back-only this
N time the apostrophe is not used IN
a possessive sense. What we mean
to say is that Kitty Gordon IS back IN
the studio after her alarming and al
most disastrous encounter with bomb.
The bomb went off with unexpected ra-
pidity. setting fire to the Red Cross
costume which Miss Gordon happened
TO be inside Of, and from the results
one is inclined to think that even prop
bombs are deadly weapons.
We talked with Miss Gordon the day
she returned to the studio and, much
TO our surprise, we found that she Is
lust like anybody. In fact, she is
even more so. OF course, there is no
reason why she should not be, only we
rather supposed that such stately
beauty, who owns several yards Of
pearls as big as sparrow's eggs, would
be proud and hard to melt.

Plea For Sandwich

Arthur w. Smith, Phi. D., consulting
and analytical chemist, Baltimore, has
recently made an exhaustive investi-
cation of the comparative food value
of the products of white corn, and
the results show these products to be
much more economical than many of
the foods commonly used.
The food value of one pound of corn
meal, grits or hominy costing cents,
is equal to the food value of any of
the following commonly used foods:
One pound of wheat flour costing
6 cents.
One pound of rice costing cents.
One and one-half pounds of cheese
costing so cents.
Two and three-quarter pounds of
round steak costing so cents.
Two dozen of eggs costing 80
cents.
One-half peck of potatoes costing
40 cents.
Six pints of milk costing so cents.
Mr.. Smith says: National prosper
ity has made as prodigal of our re-
sources and wasteful of our sub
stance. particularly in the matter of
food, for which we have been paying
more than is commensurate with food
values, and L believe it behooves
Americans to-day to consider the real
nutritive value of the food which they
purchase and to know the merits of
white corn products, which l believe
to be the cheapest nourishing food
which the housewife can buy on the
market to-day.
THE South knows and appreciates
the value of white corn for table use,
why not the North, the East and the
West?"

THE SAFETY COMMITTEE

u ESPONSIVE to the call of Gov
IN ernor Brumbaugh, a consider
able number of prominent men
of Pennsylvania met at the Capitol
to-day to consider how best to aid the
national government in the present
crisis. This gathering has been organ
lied as a Committee of Public Safety
and will make an exhaustive inventory
of the industrial resources of the
Commonwealth for the purpose of de-
termininS definitely what, in case OF
necessity. Pennsylvania can furnish to
the Government at WASHINGTON for
the purpose of maturing plans for
supplying any deficiencies which this
survey may reveal and for such addi-
tional action as may seem wise.
The patriotic responses of the
gentlemen who have been called to
this important meeting indicate the
high character of the citizenry of the
State and the Willingness of its men
in all walks of life to come to the sup
port of the Governor in this period of
national peril.
Now that the need of prompt and
efficient preparedness is recognized
throughout the country as never be-
fore, the people are expressing in
every possible way their patriotic de-
votion to the government and the
ideals upon which this great Republic
restsA The conference in Harrisburg
to-day will have a far reaching effect
in this work of preparing for whatever
eventualities may impend. Governor
Brumbaugh has performed a distinct
public service in thus promptly call
ing to his support the aid of a body
of patriotic and public spirited
citizens.

Where the West Begins

One day, six years ago, when Arthur
Chapman was conducting "A column on
the Denver Republican, genius refused
to burn. In vain he sought inspira-
ton for the poem that must be writ
ten. The keys of his typewriter
stared at him pltilessly; overhead the
presses rumbled on to the moment
when hs copy must be ready. Sud
denly his eye fell on "a newspaper clip
ping. lie read that the governors of
the States, while holding their an
nual meeting, had fallen into a dis
Cussion as to where the " est begins.
Some claimed the honor for Chicago;
some maintained stoutly that Kansas
City was the point, and even Omaha
was mentioned.
Arthur Chapman knew where the
West began. Thirty minutes later he
had settled the discussion for all
time, when he took from his feverish
typewriter the first copy of "Out
Where the West Begins" No lover of
the West will disagree with Mr..
Chapman's statement, that the West
begins
Where there's more of giving and
less of buying
And man makes friends without
half trying"
Almost every paper of consequence
in the country has reprinted the now
famous poem, II mas crossed the
Pacific to Hongkong and Australia,
and the Atlantic to England. 1t
hangs, framed, in the Office of the sec
retary of the Interior in Washington,
and is tackled up, unframed, on the
walls of cabins in the mining camps
and the Indian reservations of the
far West. New York and Boston
heard its call, for the writer of this
paragraph clipped it from a news
paper six years ago when it was first
printed.

Rhymes From the Nursery
WHY?

1 wonder why all little folks must go
to bed at night,
Before it gets real good and dark and
gone is all the light?
Before the red glow of the sun has
quite left the sky?
Before the moon comes walking
round? / wonder, wonder why?
One night ] got awake, and it was
very, very late,
Bout ten o'clock, l think, but still l
didn't fear or quake,
For right in through my window
looked the big, old, round-faced
moon,
Who winked and blinked, and said
What made you get awake so
soon?"
And mother night / walked again
this time l think twas 'leven,
And there aridin' up and down all
round and over heaven,
A tiny little silvery, hollow w<=drous
fairy boat
Went a sailing and sailing on the
! night sky all afloat.
I wonder why all little folks must go
to bed at night?
When they're so many funny things
we can't see in daylight?
So many little shining creatures
walking through the sky?
Must go before the moon comes out
1 wonder, wonder why?

Another Camp Meade?
EDITOR of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The Spanish-American War of 1898
was in its preliminaries when as Sec
retary of the Harrisburg Board of
Trade 1 inaugurated the movement
that resulted in Camp Meade, where
an army corps was drilled and dis
ciplined. 1 would now, if I had the
authority I had then, begin the move
ment to establish such a camp for
United States volunteers, that the gov
ernment must have, near tidewater,
along a trunk line of railroad, adja-
cent to a large body of fresh water.
and far enough in the interior to be
free from raids from the seaboard.
This camp ought to shelter two or
three army corps and near Harrisburg
is the deal spot. Editor McAlarney,
of the TELEGRAPH, helped me to
start the movement to the successful
establishment of Camp Meade in 1898.
A camp ought to be assured at the
start, because one of our foremost citi-
zens has the ear of the President of
the United States. Let us go in and
win. JOHN w. GERMAN.

a campaign of public education. 1t has
been announced that they will carry
their propaganda into every county.
They should do more than this. They
should choose their candidates in
every legislative district. They should
see to it that the temperance issue Is
not made a football for partisan poll
tics. Wherever possible, men of all
parties should be put into the field
whose sentiments with regard to
local option are beyond question
men qualified as we'll for the other
important work of the Legislature and
popular enough to win support at the
polls. Only by putting local option
candidates on all party tickets can
the wet" element be beaten at its
own game of debating the choice of
legislators.

LOCAL OPTION DEFEAT

TIME defeat of the Vickerman local
option bill at the hands of the
House of Representatives yes
terday occasioned no surprise among
those acquainted with the situation.
That the result was a foregone con-
clusion IN the minds of hundreds of
the friends of temperance in Penn
sylvania was illustrated by the fact that
mere handful of them came here yes
terday to see the bill slaughtered. This
lack of attendance, however, is no in
dication of waning interest. The SEN
timent for local option--indeed for
total prohibition-is stronger in this
State now than every it was, and it is
growing. Let nobody make any mis-
take about that. The longer an alb
tuse liquor lobby contrives to bring
about the defeat of local option in
the Legislature the nearer it brings to
day OF Statewide prohibition.
Not one good word can be said for
the methods by which the liquor crowd
operate, except that they are energetic
and resourceful campaigners. Re
publicans, Democrats and Progressives
all look alike to them. What they
want, and what they usually manage
to get, by one means or another. is
votes that will be recorded the way
they want them recorded. They care
for nothing but that their members
and senators be wet" They will be-
gin their campaigns for next session
to-day. They entertain no deIusions
as to the meaning of yesterdays vote.
They know 1T was brought about by
getting into the fight while the tenn
perance people were asleep or their
attention diverted. The presidential
election was a powerful factor in their
favor and they made the most of dis
turbed political conditions through
out the State.
Conditions now, however, are diff
ferent. The elections of 1918 will be
for State officers and the Legislature.
Unless unforeseen circumstances arise.
the issues will be confined strictly TO
those of State interest. Then will come
the golden opportunity of the local
optionists. The primaries are more
than year in the distance at which
legislators will be named who will
vote on the next local option bill. but
now is the time for the temperance
forces to begin their preparations.
They should take leaf from the text
book of their opponents, and there are
indications that they intend to do so.
Leaders of the movement have an
pounced their intention of beginning

Women, Too

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
In reading your editorial Monday
evening about the pro-German anony-
nous letter sent you l am reminded
that there are many men, and women,
too, l regret to say, who are in State
employ, yet who seem to love nothing
better than 70 loudly Shrek their love
for Germany and hope this country
will get its deserts they
may be.
1t seems to me that anyone, woman
especially, dependent on the State of
Pennsylvania for the food she eats,
the clothes she wears and the roof
over her head, would keep close
mouthed about her disloyalty to the
government that is supporting her,
and no matter what her sentiments,
she at least would be able to keep her
opinion locked up in her bosom lest
a worse evil should befall her. We
expect loud-mouthed, Dragging talk
from some men. but let the women
show enough self-Control to keep their
reasonable opinions to themselves, es-
pecially at this time. ID. A. r.
