Where Old Cans Go.

Goodness graciousi" exclaims the
housewife, Il wonder what becomes
of all the tin cans that are thrown
away" Never fear, dear madam, they
are not lost, nor does one of them go
to waste
A friend of the visitor, who is a
well-known business man, is thorough
~ acquainted with the tin can from
its infancy to the day of its doom.
Well, what does become of ali these
cans?" was asked the authority.
They are" he replied, "reincarnat-
ed, so to speak, and become, in fact,
a new tin can, but mostly a window
weight" Then he explained how the
old tin cans are gathered up and hurl-
ed into a furnace, and how the thin
veneer of tin, which is merely the out
or covering, is separated as melted
product from the steel, which forms
the real basis for the can. The tin
is far more valuable than the steel,
and it is used over and over again for
covering cans. The steel part, when
melted, becomes a solid chunk; in
fact, the solidest chunk in the whole
steel family. Window weights must
be small, but betty; hence the use of
steel from tin cans.

EarIv PRINTING.

The first book printed in the Eng
lish language was not printed in Eng
land. William CaXton, the English
mercer, carried on business in
Bruges. In 1869, he began to trans
late into English the "Recueil des His
tories de Troye," anc to supply the
great demand for copies of the book
he set himself to learn the art of
printing. The "Recueil," the first
printed English book probably appear
ed in 1474, and may have been printed
either at Cologne or in Bruges. In
1475 Caxton printed another work
translated from the French. Its title
was 1.-THE Game and the Playe of the
Cheese" This was the second printed
English book. Caxton left Bruges in
1746, and set up his press in West
minister, England. Such is one &C
count, but other authorities hold that
the book on chess was printed at
Westminster and was the first book
printed in England. There is no COM
plete history of printing in the Eng
lish language, though T. l.. de WINES

"Smileage" is the name of those
books of twenty coupons which any
body with a dollar may send to any
soldier in any of the National Army
environments or any of the National
Guard camps. The soldier may use
these coupons to pay the nominal ad-
mission fee to the Liberty theatre
which has been built in each canton
ment, or Liberty auditorium which
has been provided ineach camp. For
from one to five coupons he will see
anything from a moving picture film
to Shakespearean play with Maude
Adams in the title role. All the
amusement interests in this country
have combined to provide for our SOL
diers' entertainment that is entertain
ing. OF course, anybody who has five

coupons to five different soldiers, or

State House Gossip-Mueh Time Lost
and Wasted in Early Part of Ses-
SiOn-A Rush on NON-ImpOrtan
Bills Still Before Committees
Gubernatorial Candidates Discussed.
Mr.. Editor:-The General Assembly
is in rush this week, as usual in the
last third of the session, making up
for time lost and wasted in the earlier
days. All the important bills are still
in committee, Enacted upon, and in
most instances even unconsidered,
and the only real lineup there has
been, has been on the ratification of
the prohibition amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution In this dilatory
policy this General Assembly has only
followed the unbroken precedents OF
a century, and the usual rush and con-
fusion at the close of the session will
be evident as it has been in all pre-
vious Years. Changes may be brought
about in many things, but it appears
to be a hopeless task to change the
methods of procedure in Legislative
bodies in Maryland
What will be the fate of the City Ex-
tension bill is still a problem. The
measure at the present time seems TO
be well tied up in legislative red tape.
Mayor Preston and the advocates of
the bill are vigorously working to
solve the problem, but even the most
astute observer of affairs here in the
State House can see no solution ex-
cept as a matter of compromise, and
the City people, and their allies, are
opposed to anything except the bill
as il stands, without amendment o.
change. In the meantime the State
wide temperance bill seems to be COM
ing to the front and the result may be
the side-track for everything else I'M
til the drys have gotten their pet
measure out of the way. And in the
back ground are looming up all the
important appropriation bills, the an
ti-race track bills, the bills to reduce
the size of the various State commits
sions, and last, but not least, the
bills to provide revenue TO pay for all
the luxuries the people enjoy in the
way of officials, new roads, schools,
and all sorts of public institutions, and
hundreds of other public and private
things for which taxes are necessary,
and for which the people must pay.
But all these matters will be attended
to before the final adjournment, as
they have been attended to in the past
sessions. Whatever else may fail in
the last days, however, one thing is
assured, the tax bills and all the reve-
nue. and other financial bills will be
passed, even if the clocks have to be
turned back, and no offices will be

Calling for William Penn.

The conservatism of the law as it is
practiced in Philadelphia received an
illustration recently in the loud sum-
mons by the clerk of the court TO Will
liam Penn, Richard Penn and John
Penn to appear in court in order that
a certain title to the grantors could be
cleared of an incumbrance.
No one suggested to his honor, the
presiding Judge of Common Pleas No.
/, that William Penn had been dead
200 years, and his sons, Richard and
John, nearly as long There was no
need of such a suggestion. Every one
within hearing of the clerks voice
knew that it was a vain show and an
empty form that was proceeding be-
fore their eyes.
Through the idle crying of the
names of men two centuries dead the
demands of the law were satisfied and
title was cleared.-Case and Com
ment.

abolished AS the late Governor
Hamilton used TO say, 1.-The great army
of tax-eaters must be fed and all the
money bills will go through in due
time.
The latest candidate to be discussed
in connection with the Democratic
nomination for the Goyernorship is
Senator Orlando Harrison, of Worces-
ter County. Mr.. Harrison, it is re-
ported, will be backed by the dry
forces of the State. The general be-
lief here is that State Treasurer Jack
son will be the Republican nominee
and, in order to Offset his acknowl-
edged strength on the Eastern Shore,
the Democrats may be obliged to
nominate an Eastern Shoreman.
Whether such a contingency may, or
may not, arise, there is no doubt but
that Mr. Harrison's friends are seri-
ously considering him as possible
candidate He has come TO the front
this session as easily the most force
full man in the Senate, as well as the
most untiring worker in that body.
He is also rapidly coming to the front
as the most promising man for fu-
ture leadership on the Eastern Shore,
and when he really starts out after
anything he usually gets it, no mat
ter what may be the obstacles in his
way.
Senator kaufman, of Frederick, has
attained the position as the most in
dependent man in the Senate. He re-
fused 10 vote for Mr. Jackson, al
though the latter was the caucus nom
inee of his party for State Treasurer,
and his position on the annexation bill
is well known While he is Repub
lican, he reserves the right to decide
for himself what are really party mat
tiers. and he has an old-fashioned,
honest way of expressing his views on
people and affairs, so that his position
is never misunderstood. He is person
ally popular with his colleagues of
both parties, and his word is his bond
in all that he says or does. When he
does not approve of person, course,
or measure, he says so in plain and
unmistakable language, and his views
rarely ever undergo a change. He is
an honor TO his county and to the
Senate, and whether one agrees with
him or not, one is bound to respect
him

EATING BY PRRJUDICR.

Strange misconceptions gather
about the use of what are later found
to be perfectly good and nutritious
articles of food For years the toma-
TO was Stunned on the theory that its
use as a food resulted in cancer. Not
a particle of foundation existed for
the charge Along the Atlantic
coast the dogfsh has been rejected
on the ground that its flesh contains
an excess of uric acid. The Bureau of
Fisheries has made analyses and
found this charge, also, was ground
less We often wonder how such
misconceptions get start; but start
they do somehow, somewhere, and
when they get grounded in the public
mind. It is hard TO remove them. The
prejudice holds sway
Europe has been eating dogfish, or
graylish as it is now known. from
time immemorial. Americans regard
It with disdain, perhaps, because its
flesh sold for only few cents a pound

the Mediterranean shores But IL is a
fine food fish, even If it has been rea-
sonable in price. Grapefruit was at
one time regarded as useless for food
because of its bitter taste. Now 1t is
considered a luxury. Frogs were long
spurned as an article of food in this
country, but today their legs are in
great demand. Sturgeon, haddock
and swordfsh have all come into their
own. And the graylish, If the public
will give IL a trial, is certain of popu
larity.
People eat by prejudice Many per-
sons today could not bring themselves
to eat horseflesh. Why? Because!
That is ADJUST because.
With the price of food mounting,
nothing that the government puts its
O. X. upon should be considered COM
mon or unclean. Los Angeles today
is eating whale tenderloin and is wild
to buy all the stores can offer for
sale. And it is quite gleefully an
nounced from that city that when the
fishermen bring in a whale, the cost
of living there gets a blow.

NO SENSE OF FAIR PLAY.

IL is more interesting to learn that
the Germans never have had any
sports to speak of than that the Kaiser
has ordered the English terms applied
to what little they have to be trans
lated into German. Sports weighted
down with such terms as "rennen fur
sieglosse Pferde" in lieu of maiden
race" for example, is apt to become a
more attenuated thins than ever.
Wealthy Germans merely played at
sport because the English made it
fashionable and the importation will
doubtless now disappear with quick
lime swiftness. This national lack of
the sporting spirit tends to explain a
good many puzzles. including beastly
atrocities and the utter lack of am
thing Xix honor in war. For true
sport, in its essence and its fruits,
may be defined as voluntary self-con-
troll and strict regard for the rules of
the game. the keeping fthese rules
being a matter of honor aside from
the question of rewards and punish
ments.
There is a great deal more lacking
among the Germans than the spirit OF
sport, but a distinguished English
sportsman is not far wrong in attrib-
uting much of Germans want of a
sense of honor or fair play in war to
its indifference to sports. Nothing
accounts more FIR their utter incaps ;
ity to consider the other side OF the
question in this great conflict" he
says, than the absence in their early
training of that (spo-ting) sense Of
fair play
