TnOUNC|NG COMING
TO SENATOR BALL
Senator Smith Of South Carolina
Indignant Over His Report on
Charleston Harbor Project.
anecinl pisnatch From Every Evening .
Washinoton Correspondent.

Special Dispatch From EvcrY Evening
Washington Correspondent.
Washington. Jan. 30.--Senator Ball b
going 10 get q real good political trouncinE.
1'h;s Il nromised by Senator Ellison Smith
Of South Carolina, and that energetic
statcsman has never been known to break
h;s word. The trouble is over the report
Of Senator Ball on the Charleston harbor
nroicct. Senator Smith says the report of
the Junior Senator from Delaware was
premature, and condemns a perfectly
feasible and eminently essential project
without due consideration of the evidence.
A drydock should be built at Charleston
and will be, even though Senator Ball is
opposed to il, Senator Smith said.
'Why the report was made after the
Senator from Delaware had examined a
few men who were very imperfectly in
formed on the subject" said Senator
Smith. ''Of course, / credit Senator Ball
with sincerity, but think his conclusions
were premature and his report was not
supported by the best obtainable evidence.
For instance, l have letter from Admiral
Anderson, who says the project Is feasible
and he gives it his heartiest support.
Il am sure the Senate will rely more
upon the word of man of such wide and
extended experience as Admiral Anderson
than upon the evidence of subordinates
who are really not acquainted with the
subject. Senator Ball is perfectly willing
that a drydock be built on the Pacific
Coast. Why this solicitude for the other
side of the United States? l am not OPP
posed to building drydock on the Pacific
Coast, but l think Atlantic Coast Sena-
tors should be slow to condemn projects
which provide for our navy on this side
of the continent"
Senator Smith said he had evidence that
the project at Charleston would be very
much less costly than Senator Ball was led |
TO believe. He declared that the figures |
mentioned in the report of the Senator
from Delaware were "extravagant" and |
showed that the party or parties re-
sponsible for them had gwen the subject
only superficial study.
'Why, understand Senator Ball spent
only about six hours at Charleston" said
Senator Smith. Surely, ii would be inn
possible for layman, no matter how in
telligent to master a subject so vast in so
short time. At any rate, am quite con-
vinced the Senate will not repeal the
appropriation provided for the con-
tinuance of the work there"

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.

THE WELL BALANCED MENU.

IL il the duty Of every ho,iseknepcr to
look into the question of food values and
learn how to build wcll-bnlanced menus.
For there is u difference between feeding
her family and nourishing IL, and the IN
telliGcnt woman makes IL her business To
understand this difference.
Just what is a balanced menl1 IL IL n

After realizing that her meals must he n
combination Of these six elements, the
hotisekecpers next step is to learn IN
which food these elements are found. All
public libraries have books on dictetics
which give the nutritive value OF the vsrI-
ous foods. The housckceper may be a
little confused at first To learn that many
foods contain both protein and carbohy-
drat1r or fat--indced, some foods contain
several of the six clements which must be
incorporated in q we'll balanced meal But,
on the other hand, there are many foods
which consist so strongly Of only one Of
these six elements, that any other ele-
rnents that may contain are practically
ignored, the following classification will

this latter variety-that is, foods which
consist mainly of only one element.

meat and fish. II is also abundant in
beans, peas and other leglrnes, and in
cheese, nuts, milk and many grains like
oatmeal, barley and wheat.

OLD EARTH REPLIES.

One night just before the spring called
her children to come forth in all their
splendor of color and beauty, little
flower poked out its head and asked:
''Whcre does the snow go that covered
the earth all winter?' :.
"Oh, what useless question: said
another flower; 'who cares where the snow
goes as long as it goes and we can cone.out
and find the sun nice and warm?"
Il think it must go just as the RAIN
does" said another flower who was ready
to come out in the morning sun.
"But where is that?" asked the first
flower; "that is what want to know and
no one can tell me.
Il do not use it," said n big rock Il
let il slide righ, off of me. I'd much rather
be nice and dry and cannot see of what
use the snow and rain can be to anyone.
''Well, | can tell YOU that II we had no
snow or rain we should not grow, said a
tree standing nearby. But where it goes
after we have had all we need for our
roots, | cannot tell YOU.

up?" said the first little flower.
"Ohl no: | am sure he does not, said
the tree for he has all the water he wants
nearer home. There are all the rain clouds
right up there where he lives.

The other day q woman took tray;

Without that dessert your lunch would

''Oh, but your meats In the dessert,

And she was quite right. Of course she

CHURCH ASSAILS MAETERLINCK.
Archbishop Giennon Says His Philosophy
is FaiSehoOd

st. Louis, Feb 20.-The philosophy Of
Maurice Maeterlinck is the philosophy of
pessiInism and falsehood, Archbishop
Glennon declared Wednesday in a noon
day Lenten service.
The archbishop regretted man ad-
vancing theories purely negative should
be accepted by some as an intellectual light
"Maeterlinck came to US this week TO
tell us all he did not know about life and
death" the archbishop declared. THE
agnostic is one who does not know. He
is quite sure Christianity Is falss, but
what should take its place he does not
know.
''The agnostic turns to occultism and
spiritualism, and the individual withers
This materialistic philosophy tells US that
death ends ell, but does not answer the
something within US that tells us we will
not altogether die. And yet this philos-
ophy of negation claims an audience +"
