FIFTY YEARS AGO In THE STAR

test, but was not permitted to vote
for Vice President.
The bill extending the city charter
passed Congress at this time nifty years
ago and was sent TO the
Municipal President for his sigma
ture. but was held by
SnaItef. him. Meanwhile the city
charter expired May IL, 1865. The
Star OF two days later noted that
the question had been raised whether
the municipal machine could run le-
gally in the absence OF a new charter.
and especially whether acts passed
by the city council were valid. The
charter act Of 1920 was to run "for
and during the term OF twenty years and
until Congress shall by law determine
otherwise" The act of 1S4s to con-
tinue the charter provided for its
continuance in force for the term OF
twenty years from the date hereof tMay
II. 1S4S) or until Congress shall by
law determine otherwise. The issue
turned upon the use OF the word
and in the first charter and the
word "or" in the second. According
to The Star some of the leading local
lawyers held that with the exception
of the police force the municipal
authorities could not act legally. On
the other hand. the law officers OF tho
government were of the opinion that
the charter continued in force until itA
place was supplied. The matter was

ELSEWHERE we see that the school
teachers are In tribulation. In New
York city the teachers Of the public
schools have not been paid for their
last months services and will not
be paid again until January, 1853. It
seems that the appropriation for
teachers salaries has long since
been exhausted. having already
been overdrawn to the amount Of.
Sass. 900, which has been paid to the
teachers this year in anticipation of
the city tax levy. As the governor
has not yet signed that instrument
the controller says he will pay no
more salaries to teachers until he
does so; hence the board OF education
must raise money by borrowing or
close the public schools. The amount

TROOP SUPPLIES
 5 MONTHS AHEAD
Army Could Get Along for 90 Days If Not Another Pound
 Went Over.
VAST STOCK IN RESERVE
Held in Miles of Warehouses Extend ing From the Coast Inland to the Fighting Line--DaiIy De-
 IiVeries Made.

TOurS.-The American army in Eu- rope could be fed and clothed and al! it's creature comforts looked after for three months if not another pound of supplies was secured. This was the statement made here by officers of the army quartermaster's department, which directs this mammoth work of supplies.
 It gives an idea of the vast stock of reserve resources stored in the miles of warehouses stretching from the coast inland to the fighting line, and it is q comforting assurance, too, that this huge reserve will be kept up through the coming winter period, so that the American soldiers warmth, as we'll as his. food and clothing, will be fully looked after.
 Some Big Job.
 It is a huge undertaking to feed a million men even for a single day-a million men scattered to a thousand points, in trenches, on battlefelds and camps, along 300 miles of front ard for a depth of 800 miles. And when are added housing and clothing and the period is extended through the win ter months of cold and frost, with the prospect that another million or two of men may be headed this way before lOng-with these elements one gets some idea of the magnitude of the supply problem for a million or more men.
 Here at the center of the system where the receipts are regulated and the distribution made, there was an opportunity of learning some of the details of how the system operates.
 In the food branch alone it takes over 100000 pounds of food every day to feed the army. This prOdf gious daily consumption of food em. braces 1000 pounds of flour baked into a million pounds of bread every day, S75,O0O pounds of fresh beef S75,00O pounds of potatoes, 100000 pounds of sugar and 125,OOO pounds oi tomatoes. The pepper and salt for 8 single day is 42,500 pounds.
 Army coffee Is roasted at the rate of 10000 pounds a day, and it takes 10000 pounds of sOlidified alcohol tC cook this coffee through the month.
 The beef is the bulkiest product used each day and occupies a daily space of 45,000 cubic feet, or about the dimensions of business block, of solid meat, Flour comes next. reQuIr,

PIONEERS MEET AND CELEBRATE IN CALIFORNIA

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-Eleven men who came to California in 1S49 acrosss the continent by prairie trail Or by sailing vessel around the Horn met here recently and drank a toast to "the days of gold" They represented the forty-one remaining members of the Society of Cali fornia Pioneers, which at one time comprised 5000 lovers of adventure. For years the pioneers have held reunion annually in this city, but year by year the attend ance has dwindled.
 Among those who made the last pilgrimage from various parts of the country We're three members of the vigilance committee which, in 1853 quelled reign of terrorism and law lesness in San Francisco by a num- OCT of hangings.

 A Few Daily Items,

ing 25,000- cubic feet of daily space and potatoes about the same.
 A Few Daily Items.
 These are only a few of the main items. But the list runs all through the many requirements of the over. sea army ration, with vast quantities in each case. Here are some of the other daily items: Bacon, 225,OOO pounds; beans, 75,0O0 pounds; rice, JO,OOO pounds; onions, 250,000 pounds {; evaporated fruit, 10000 pounds; jam, 10000 pounds; milk, 62,500 pounds {; vinegar, 10000 pounds; lard, 40.OOC pounds; butter, 31,000 pounds; syrup 10000 pounds.
 These being included in the over sea ration, every one of the million men Is entitled to his full allowance, and 1t must go forward to him wher- ever he Is. So that besides the vast daily stock there Is the question of unfailing daily delivery, first by rail- ways and camiOn trains, and then to the individual soldier.
 Besides this 100000 pounds of food moving forward daily to the troops, each man carries with him two days emergency ration, pounds to the man, an additional 5000,000 pounds of food for an army of a million men. Of the emergency ration, carried on the back, there is outstanding every day 2,0OO,- 900 pounds of corned beef and 2,OOO,- 900 pounds of hardtack, 300,000 pounds of sugar, 62,5O0 pounds of coffee, 2O,- GOO pounds Of salt, and 5000O0 pounds of solidifed alcohol for heating and cooking while on march.

l. will not be long before We will See lIr. T. Businessman starting for his office in the morning with Will lies arithmetic lesson figured out on his coat tail.
 They are coming - paper suits and We cant quite figure out whether it is a threat Or promise. The issue is viewed with mingled emotions, while the plan, though it may have itss minor drawbacks, is, iu many respects, admirable.
 The average man will be able to sit down and make a whole suit of clothes out of Sunday paper and have enough left over for pair of pants for his youngest son.
 Barring rain and high wind storms the paper clothing should be satisfactory, light, airy, comfort able and cheap. What would hap pen to a man caught in & heavy rainstorm in a paper suit is some thing for the police to worry about.
 Geutlement who are accustomed tc aaving their trousers lacerated by .-.ociouss bulldogs while prowling rh. neighborhOod of the neighror's chicken ranch Or vegetable garden, will find replacement much cheaper than i; the old days.
 The cid system of tying string around husbands finger to make him remember to bring home a new cook stove or half pint of diamond earrings will go out of style. It was never satisfactory. Husband never could remember what the st ing was for after an hour or two. He knew it meant something, but couldn't think what. instead, the fond wife will take her lead pencil and jot down on tho breast Of husbands coat the list Of things desired. Then everybody he meets during the day will read the list ana tell him to be sure and take home the vegetable, oysters and not forget to go to the dog doctors for some tooth paste for Llewellyn, the Alredale.
 There will be number of ways in which the paper suit will be use full. The wife can tear a piece off her husbands coat any time to wrap up the cake to send to the church supper. There is always a scarcity of wrapping paper about the house. When she wants to write a communication for the daily paper or q letter to the domestic science editor giving him a new re- cipe for war pudding without eggs, she can tear off one leg of hus- bands Sunday trousers and write on it.
 The new suits can be beautifully figured. When one thinks what is done with wallpaper in the way of decoration, the possibilities of the new clothing are limitless. There may even be camouflage suits.-San Francisco Examiner,

Death Guided the Plane.

A remarkable instance occurred somewhere in France, in which a faith. ful flyer brought his machine safely home, although he himself had died from the effects of a wound received in an encounter with an enemy ma chine in the air. Knowing that he was about to die, he propped himself up in such a way that the rudder bar and control lever were kept in position carefully calculated the distance back to camp and arranged the machine so that it would vOlplane safely to the ground after his soul had departed. His plans were successful, and when his mortified companions hastened to him they found in his pocket a note book in which was the information he had been sent to obtain-"at all costs"
