CITIES ARE SLOW BUYERS.
Army's Surplus Food Going Slowly :
Some Trial Orders Filled.

j WASHINGTON, July Sup ito date,
the war department has received no
general response from municipal au-
throughout the country to its
offer to sell surplus foodstuffs in ear
load lots. to be paid for after distribu-
ton. The commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia have arranged to
take one carload of canned and cured
meat and canned vegetables, to be dis
tributed through the municipal fish mar
ket Secretary of War Baker said yes
terday this distribution would be in
the nature of an experiment to ascer-
tain whether the people actually wished
to buy the army's surplus foodstuffs.
Last week, the Baltimore authorities
purchased $1,000 worth of surplus food
stuffs, which are now in the homes of
the people. This was a relatively small
order, but the Baltimore authorities
plan to carry the experiment further
and on a larger scale.
Officials are hopeful that the depart
ment s offer will meet with general re
sponse. After the distribution of n ear
load of foodstuffs here it is expected
the experiment will be tried elsewhere
One other city is said to be arranging
to take a carload as an experiment.

SEES ONLY ONE SIDE.
A Common Weakness Among Our
ReformerS

What we really need, and badly need,
is balanced method in reform. We,
have developed one-sided spirit about
the business that refuses to see both
sides of a question, that denies the pos
sibility of mixture of good with evil, and
that is convincing itself that the only way
to get rid of an undesirable thing is to
destroy the whole premises in which it
it found
Our reformers 60 at the evils they de-
tect with binders on; they will not even
look at the prospect about them, bent
only on bruising the serpent. But it is
characteristic of the serpents in our So
cial organization that they do not run
away 1t would help a reformer to stop
in his chasing of evil long enough to get
a sense of the great amount of good there
is all about him. 1t would give him a
sense Of the proportion he totally lacks
at times now According to Charles
Lamb it took the Chinese inventors of
roast pig some time to discover that pigs
could be roasted without burning down
the house 1t seems that it is taking lis
! a long time to see that an evil can be
| banished from its intrenchment without
blowing up the whole district.
II we could throw off the binders that
lkeep us from a free sight of the whole
problem; if we could settle on what is
to go and how to remove it with the
| least disturbance to the good in which
| it is embedded, or perhaps on which il
lightly rests. we should work much more
easily. economically, and rapidly at the
business }of reforming Rochester Post

WASHINGTON, July 8.-Misrepre-

in the United States, with the object OF

JET.
History of It's Formation Much Like
That of Coal.

If you have made the trip to the
bottom of a coal mine and have seen
how the black Jumps are made ready for
use, perhaps you know that jet, the,
shiny, black substance that you see SO
often, made into pretty ornaments,
beads, buttons etc, is closely akin to.
coal. The history of the formation of
let is much like that of coal. Thousands
of years ago, masses of wood were car
ried down into the sea by the rivers, and,
there waterlogged, it sank and became
embedded in the mud. Pressure and
heat and the salt water wrought the
change in the wood. Even now traces
of the wood structure can be detected
in the Jet itself. In years gone by jet
used to be found in Jumps off the coast
of Yorkshire, the jet incased in shale
known as jet rock, washed up by the
sea; but now that supply is not suf-
fcient and jet has to be regularly
mined. In Whitby, Yorkshire, the best
i Jet is produced, but there are also i'm
portant mines in France and Spain and
America, too has quantities of the shale
though it is not Systematically mined

The new way in which the United
States provides for its disabled soldiers
is not, however, merely a question of pen
sions. 1t provides the pension first, and
then the education by which the soldier
can earn a good living over and above his
pension In many cases, indeed, the Grip
pied soldier is able to earn more money
than he did when uniniured- which Is
as it should be- for these men deserve the
higher places in the industrial scale"

the famous sanctuary, known as the
Santa Casa of Loretto. 1t is said that
from May 10, 1921, to Dec. 10, 1894, the
very house in which the Savior spent
his youth was located on the present
site of the world renowned church. The
angels which proposed to remove the
small structure from Palestine to Italy
lost their way and from sheer fatigue
and exhaustion were compelled to de-
post if near the Guarnero Gulf Some
persons were living in Fiume at that
time who had been in Palestine and
claimed to recognize the house. No
other explanation could be given for
the sudden and mysterious looming up
of such a building, which appeared to
be uninhabited. Less superstitious in
dividuals spoke of it as resort of
bandits and pirates, but the religious
would not hear of such a thing 1t
was left to their spiritual father, Arch
bishop Alexander, to determine the gen.

sioner-Coffin Suggested.

MONTPELIER, July 8.-The name
of Clyde Coffrin, who has been deputy
tax commissioner, has been suggested
by his friends to Governor Clement as a
likely man to appoint as commissioner
to fill the vacancy. Mr.. Coffrin knows
the work and probably could carry it
better for the rest of the present regime
than any other man that might be Sc
lected His drawback is that he is a
young man. The name of Neill Clawson
of Brattleboro is also heard mentioned
as candidate for the place.
