Taft Elected President
of Unitarian Societies

Baltimore, Oct. l7.-For the third
consecutive term former President
William Howard Taft was elected
president of the general conference
of the Unitarian church societies.
Discussion at the closing session
Of the proposed federation of the
Unitarian churches with those of the
Universalist and Congregationalists
brought to light the fact that there
was a feeling against such union
due to certain UNCONVENTIONAL pref
erences and the unwillingness of the
older members of the Unitarian con-
ferences to sacrifice any of the ira
ditional denominational identity.
A resolution providing for the ap-
pointment of commission of the
Unitarian church which will confer
with similar commissions from the
other two denominations looking to
some mutual understanding between
the three churches was finally adopt

People.

Washington, Oct. l7.-Attorney
General Palmer and his official as
sociates in the fight on the high cost
of living determined to enlist the
aid of the women of America.
By appealing to the comptrollers
OF household finances throughout
the country it is hoped to inaugu-
rate an epoch OF real economy which
will offset the buy now" propa-
ganda of tradespeople. Further
more an attempt will be made to dis
courage the frequent changes In
styles dictated by the makers of
women's apparel and thereby effect
a saving in clothes.
Another important decision taken
was to release more surplus supplies
held by the government, il it can be
done without embarrassment to the
departments involved. Secretaries
Baker and Daniels and Chairman
John Barton Payne of the shipping
board were invited to the conference
for the first time for that purpose.
Mr.. Baker being unable to attend,
the attorney general and Mr.. Dam
iels will confer with him next week.
Mr.. Daniels reported that he had
sugar enough to run the navy six
months, but before he released any

requirements.
indicative of the broad scope
which Mr. Palmer's efforts are TAX
ing was the request of Chairman
Payne to release any surplus build

especially lumber needed for home
building. The shipping board, it
was learned, probably will need
however, all OF the supplies which
it has purchased.
Will Use Speakers.
Speakers will be put soon in every
state to carry the message that one
way to beat the profteers is to
ignore propaganda saying that prices
are certain to go higher and wait
for the decline which officials say is
inevitable.
The first complete official report
of what has been accomplished so
far by the use of such laws as were
available was given the conference
by Mr.. Palmer, showing that there
have been SO cases of actual seizures
under the food control act, with %
cases still under investigation. Three
cases have been held for the grand
jury, and in two other cases Jail
sentences and fines have. been i'm
posed. The seizures have taken place
in Is different states, and resulted
in placing on the market, through
normal channels of trade, 99,047
pounds of cheese, 1898 pounds of
poultry, more than 100000 pounds of
fish, 52,056 cans of tomatoes, 765,615

AS to Punctuation.

With all that may be said about
punctuation its use is pretty well as
much part and parcel Of the writer as
are the words Of the text. To one man
a comma is merely "a breathing" and
he puts one in where a reader would
seem to need to pause for breath !;
whereas to others a comma is rather
a handy mark for setting off word
or clause that is to a degree some
what apart in form or sense from the
direct implication Of the sentence. All
Of which brings to mind the words Of
that very practical schoolmaster who
was the first to say to his class, 1.-THE
best rule of all for punctuation is to
put In punctuation marks only where,
without them, the meaning would be
in doubt"

inquiries have been made as to
rights of people to enter the res

So many inquiries have come to
the department that they have
issued bulletin to the effect
that any person found prospect
ing on the reservations until it
has been legally and officially de-
clared to be open for exploration
will be put off, and the further
penalty inflicted of never per-
hitting the offender to enter the
reservations again. Prospectors
to go on these reservations must

WITH CONVOY OF D0LPHINS
Sailors on Tropic Seas Appreciate In.
cident Which Varies the Monctony

Whoever has sailed a tropic sea will
appreciate Mr.. William Beebes de-
scription in the American Museum
Journal of a school of playful dolphins
that appeared suddenly from the
depths and adopted for their playfel-
low the ship upon which he was sail
ing.
1t was a lazy, tropical morning,
writes Mr.. Beebe, and the engines
seemed to throb in a half-somnolent
manner. folded up in a desk chair
and idly watched the beautiful profile
Of the island astern.
Suddenly the sea became alive with
virile beings-curving steel-gray bodies
that shot forth like torpedoes from
some mighty battery. I thrilled in
every fiber, and the sloth of the tropics
fell from me as by a galvanic shock.
The dolphins had come! Usually they
appear in their haunts between Do
minica and Martinique, but here they
were in dozens, leaping for breath with
the regularity of machinery. Now and
then, In a spirit of play, one OF them
vaulted high in the air, ten feet above
the surface, twisted and fell broad
side with a slap that could be heard
half a mile away. A school came close
alongside, slackened speed to that of
the vessel, and now and then dived be-
meath and appeared off the opposite
quarter. Another trick was for one
or two to station themselves just ahead
Of the bow and to remain there mo-
tionless, urged on by the pressure OF
the water from behind. 1t was unex-
pected and splendid to have this bat
TALON of magnificent cetaceans, burst
ing with vital energy and fullness of
life, injected without warning into the
calm quiet Of this tropic sea.
