Future of the Submarine.

In spite Of the fact that the British
have some steam-driven 2,700-ton SUBJ
marines, capable of surface speed Of
from % to 25 knots, the submarine as
a weapon of war is too slow and too
blind when it is submerged to be con-
sidered a serious weapon of naval war;

distance Of 10 to Is miles while it
is submerged so deep as to be invisible

dominate the situation. = Scientific

Japanese Women in the Home.

Japan as nation is still backward
in giving freedom to its women, though
1 believe there are 175 practicing wom-
an physicians in Japan. For the most
part the ideal is still distinctly ''the
woman in the house."
And in the home man is the supe-
rior. Men and women eat the same
food, but the man gets all the titbits.
But perhaps the men in Japan are
as fond of their women folk as they
are anywhere.

Blanks to Be Delivered.

Arrangements were completed
this morning at the Rock Island
postofice for the reception of or
ders for surplus war department
foodstuffs, through the postoffice
acting as a medium between the
war department and the consumer
The sale will begin promptly at 8
a. m. Monday. Aug. Is. at the post
Office, and those having orders will
make them out through the cash
ier's window in the money order
section of the west lobby. Carriers
will also be provided With blanks
and authorized to receive money
for orders
The process thus to be Inaugural
ted is in accordance with a resolu-
ton recently passed by congress,
providing for distribution of sur
plus foodstuffs now on hand at
military subsistence depots, with
the cooperation of the postoffice
department, and it is the intent
that the same opportunity be given
.fn sections of the country to pur-
chase the limited supply.
To Consumers Only.
To secure the best results, and
to be certain that the foodstuffs
get into the hands of bona fide
consumers, it is left to the indi-
vidual postmaster to exercise his
discretion as to whom and to what
extent sales should be made. In
this connection, Postmaster Simp-
son stated that positively no large
quantities would be sold to indi-
viduals, and none whatever to
dealers, middlemen or spectators.
The supplies as forwarded from
the army depots, are packed in
cases and bags, and in no case will
there be repacking. Therefore,
while the postmasters will receive
orders for cans in units, If the ag-N
gregate order does not total the
contents of a can, the item will be
stricken from the order and the
amount refunded.

While there has been no special

eminent, the local postofflce has

r R AVELE T T e
QUINCY.
By Niksah.

Quincy, ILL.,, is the place where
there are so many squirrels IN the
park. 1t is also a right lively
breeding place for all kinds Of
factory products and savings ac-
counts.
Especially savings accounts. The
late E. ]. Parker used to startle
the bankers convention each year
by his report of the incredible
boarding of the thrifty Quincyites.
OF course this gift for accumula-
ton makes for municipal stability,
but it seems almost wicked to keep
so much money out of work.
When the country went dry the
volume of lamentation from Quin-
cy was almost as sonerous as that
from Milwaukee or Cincinnati.
Quincy not only made and sold
quantities of fine beer, but it was
itself a good consumer-always
copiously of a Saturday night.
And Quincy has proud social
traditions which it preserves with
zeal if not arrogance. Its smart
east end set looks askance upon
the young stranger whose pants are
not a la mode, while the members
of the old aristocracy pay little at
tention to anyone, no matter who
he is or what he v cars.
May the savings and the SPUR
rels, like the tribe of Abou Ben
Adhem, continue to increase!
