They make themselves essential in a very short time," said MT. Cheney. ''The aim of Mount Holyoke is to produce women who know how to live, to teach and to lead. There has never been an in vestment of s15,o0o in Connecticut or elsewhere that has brought a greater return to the community

 war; Intimate views of ex-Presi- dent Rooseyelt's home and political life were given. In speaking of the latter the priest said: 'iHe was a man who went into public life not for 1 what he could get out of it, but for what he could put into it. He was man whom money could not buy nor any power, however great, intin1i- date" Of the home life, the friend said: Roosevelt was as clean and pure in his family life in his pub | lie relations. His home was a verita- ble sanctuary, real home in every sense of the word.''

VIENNA OFFICIAL REPORTS DEFICIT
 IN CASH OF CITY

VIENNA. - Mayor Reumann has just disclosed to the Vienna city council loss to the city of 13,000,- 900 crowns through a business ven- ture undertaken by a former coun- cil headed by Mayor Weisskirchner. On the beginning of the war, Mayor Weisskirchner organized a commit tee to collect public subscriptions for the relief of soldiers and their dependents. It is charged that Weisskirchner advanced huge sums from this fund, as we'll as city mon eys, to Hans Hafner, who under took to exploit several schemes for the benefit of Vienna. Among Half ner's ventures was the operation of a large plant for the production of artificial milk and a factory to man. ufacture footwear from patented ar tihcial leather. A building was erected for the milk process scheme, but it was never put in operation, while the shoe factory proved a dead loss.
 To cover its losses, it is charged that Mayor Weisskirchner drew upon funds raised by needlework guilds and upon other charities all over the country, and also from the pro. fits of municipal war kitchens. with out acquainting the opposition mem bers of the council of his action No accounting of the charity funds was ever made, so that the
 use of those funds was not discov'
 cred until the present government
 took office.
 i Weisskirchner and certain of hi;
 associates now have been called upon to explain these transactions
 Meantime the city is being sued b, manufacturers in Slovakia for vas quantities of artificial leather fabric which they furnished to provide Hafner with material for manufac turing shoes.

known, consist of CD disseminated deposits in fracture zones, and (2) vein filling in well-defined Assures. Excitement has recently been caused by the finding of auriferous lodes carrying high values in silver Ga lena, tetrahedrite (gray copper ore), pyragyrite (ruby silver), and native silver are said to occur in these ores. There is reason to believe that similar deposits may occur in the Alaska part of the Stewart River basin.
 As has been shown, the general economic conditions that affect AL aska gold mining, and especially placer mining, are worldwide in their influence. The Alaska placer miner has, however, in addition. his own special difficulties, and these re- late principally to transportation. With a decrease in placer mining has come a decrease in transporta- ton facilities and an increase in freight rates. The best aid that can be given the miner and prospector is good transportation service by water and land and reasonable freight rates. Of first importance is the completion of the Alaska railroad, but better and cheaper steamboat service, on both ocean and river, are also imperative. Moreover, if the railroad is to be fully used for the development Of the resources of the Territory !t must be supplemented by trails and
 wagon roads.

dangerously near the Sable Island
shoals on Sunday, was sought by the
island wireless station there early to-

The steamer Kosciusko answered the

turn back because of shortage of fuel
and provisions.
The Maplemore, which reached the
Ellithorpe early yesterday, was still
standing by and reported that she
would continue her attempts to take
the disabled craft in tow. The coast

Early Rising on the Farm.

Folk who live in the cities never
have been able to understand the oppo-
sition of the farmers to daylight say.
ing. But, at least, there is some en-
lightenment in the fact that arguments
are at this late day being advanced.
Heretofore there have been vague state
ments about early morning dew and
milk trains. The spokesman for the
farmers at the hearing on the Belts
repeal bill now blame the farm labor
situation on that extra hour of day
light.
Here is statement from Albert II.
Manning, speaker for the Dairymen's
league: within the last year $4,000
men and boys have left the farms for
the city. while only IL 900 have left the
city for the farms, making a deficiency
of $4,000. The daylight saving law, if
continued, means that some people in
the city will go hungry"
Truly a grave deficiency, but it is
not a valid argument that that extra
hour of daylight is driving men from
the farms 1t will be recalled that
men were leaving the farms before. The
back to- the land problem was a live
one before daylight-savin was thought
of in this country. But there is grain
of comfort in the fact that the move
ment is not all one way, as il was a
few years ago. What has attracted the
IL 900 city folk to the farms in the
last Year, Is il not likely that day
light saving in the city has given them
a fondness for the outdoor life and
that they, consequently, have been
seeking the fresh air of the rural COM
munitiesI
Most farmers seem not to have
viewed the case with open minds. A
few see the advantage.-Buffalo Ex-

The Executive Must Not Lapse.

II Mr.. Wilson is right in his remark
able charge that the calling of infor-
NAL cabinet meetings for conference
during the complete disability of the
president is "usurpstion of the ex-
ecutive authority" it is high time a
lawful method of insuring uninterrupt-
ed performance of the duties of the
presidency be explicitly formulated and
established Mr.. Wilson's sense of re-
sponsibility in the field of moral and
political generalization has tended to
overshadow his perception of the not
incOnsiderable Importance of his ex-
ecutive and administrative duties. But
the country after all elects a president
primarily to fill its highest executive
office and expects the executive func-
tion to be operative at all times. Nei-
ther Congress nor any considerable part
of the people can share Mr.. Wilson's
theory that executive responsibilities
and problems may be safely left in
allegiance while the president remains
for weeks or months not only incapa-
BILE Of dealing with them but even in
Mr.. Wilson's own case, incommunicado.
The executive must never lapse. That
is an essential of public safety. Con
gress should consider its immediate and
most imperative duty to provide that
it does not lapse, that there shall be no
shadow of doubt that in the case of the
presidents inability to perform his du-
ties, either by reason of absence from
the country or Of physical or mental
disability, these duties shall be per
formed by another designated official.
