The rest to which the Master called
men was designed to give them q finer
recognition of the deeper values Of life.
He demanded such periods for Himself.
Repeatedly He withdrew from the strife
and hurry Of life and sought alone the
stiffness Of some mountain top. He would
not begin His great ministry until after
a long period in wilderness retirement.
What He required for Himself, He would
have for others.
The plan for an annual period Of
greater retirement from the world, its
crowding cares and persistent demands.
which is called Lent, is patterned after
Christs 40 days Of quiet and contempla-
ton. Nothing in the scheme Of the
Church is saner, wiser or more urgently
needed than this season. How can men
rightly appraise life, its high aims and
purposes without prescribed periods such
as Lent? How can they make the labor
and the heavy burdens Of each weeks toll
bit less exacting, without Sunday OF
spiritual rest and refreshment? Think
ing of each days cares, its taxing physical
and mental strain, how can a normal,
well-balanced life be maintained without
a brief period spent in reflection and
prayer? Abnormal times such as these
work havoc with the nerves and brains of
men and women. Any casual study Of
the faces of those on our highways dis
closes the added strain under which life
is being lived. 1t is eternally true that
man cannot live by bread alone. There
is that in his nature that demands salts
faction. Call 1t mind, soul, or what we
will 1t is the spark of the divine i'm
planted in the breast of every man, his
truer, better self, his Godlike nature.
Sometimes it takes a mighty shock to
make him conscious Of it. To recognize
his inner need, his deep peace Of mind,
for which my quoted friend yearned, calls
for such regulated and ordered scheme
of life as Lent prescribes. The whole
world, despite wars and rumors Of wars,
wants peace; it wants and wants sorely
surcease from crowding cares. 1t needs
the restoration of its normal vision Of life
and its purpose. Let us have sane,
sober look at ourselves and the world
about us. Let us recover our poise by
securing rest unto our souls.

all the ingenuity of the American in
ventor, is a marvel of convenience and
comfort. But not the same attention has
been given to security. Flues and pipes
conduct hot air or steam through COM
bustible walls and floors. The wood adja-
cent to the pipes and flues, which are
often defectively constructed, chars and
finally takes fire and the modern palace
becomes mere firetrap, roasting its
occupants with quick flames fed by COM
bustible conveniences and luxuries."

Why Cream Goes Up

The Washington diaries which
raised the retail price of cream on
February will find it hard to justify
their step. They attribute the ad-
vancement to their own increased
costs resulting from the proclama-
tion of the Federal milk marketing
order for Washington. The higher
price which the order requires the
dairies to pay the farmers for
hundredweight of milk to be used
for cream amounts to two-thirds of
a cent half pint of 20 per cent
cream, or coffee cream The retail
increase ordered by Chestnut Farms
Chevy Chase, Thompson's, Arling-
ton Farms, Embassy-Fairfax and
Model Farms dairies is from IS cents
to II cents half pint, and by Wake
field Dairy from IA cents to 16 cents
half pint for home delivered cream.
Thus, since the Inauguration of the
order, the dairieS are making 11a
cents more on half pint of coffee
cream than they did before the order
became effective Highland Farms
and Ayrlawn dairies retain their pre-
February price schedules.
At the end of October, 1888, the
dairies cut the retail price of cream
and made money on it. This change
was coincident with a drop in the
price the dairies paid the farmers
from s3.47 hundredweight of milk
to be used for cream to $19S hun
dredweight. For half pint of 20
per cent cream this drop amounted
to 3.9 cents. The dairies advertised
they were passing the reduction to
the consumer. They cut their retail
price by three cents. Their profit
in the changed schedule was 09 cent
then, and now they profit to the
extent of 133 cents on the new 1910
schedule. In other words, within a
year and a half the margin of profit
on cream for those dairieS which
have adjusted their cream prices has
risen 223 cents.
Unlike the case with milk, cream
consumption is delicately responsive
to price changes. Consumers who
feel they cannot pay the price can
get along without cream when, for
health's sake, especially if there are
children in the household, they would
not dare give up milk. Furthermore,
the dairies find profits in milk bought
for cream in addition to that from the
mere sale of the cream itself. After
the cream is separated from the
whole milk, the skim milk remains.
This is used in chocolate milk drinks,
which retail at five cents half pint.
It is made into dry skim milk, which
bakeries buy in large quantities and
which is shipped Southwark for
processing into buttermilk. 1t can
be reduced to casein, out of which in
these wonder days of chemistry come
suits of clothes and automobile up
holstering.
The change made in the WASH
ington milk market by the estab-
lishment of Federal authority over
the market is a propitious occasion
for the Inauguration of certain price
saving efficiencies in the dairy busi-
ness. If this were done consumers
might hope for decreases in prices
charged them.

Turning Eastward

That part OF the program of the
Committee on One Hundred on the
Federal City which concerns the
future Of East Capitol street and the
areas bordering it is of a nature de-
manding immediate consideration in
all its details and early action on
some lest the objectives be lost en-
tirely or delayed for many years.
Like the program adopted sixteen
years ago, the new list of recommen-
dations looks far into the future, but
the lessons of the past exist so strik-
ingly and the needs of the present
are so apparent that every effort
should be bent to bring about an
early realization of the current sug-
gestions.
Time was when East Capitol street
was one of the city's few fine thor
oughfares. Styles and customs
changed, newer residential areas
were developed, yet the street re-
manned, in it's basic quality, one of
outstanding civic possibilities. Re-
Gently the first steps toward rehabili-
tation have been taken Location of
the armory near it's eastern terminus
and the plan for the development of
an auditorium, stadium and sports
center nearby give promise of a
brighter future. Already the posi-
bility of establishing the Baltimore
Washington parkway, entering the
city through Anacostia Park, is an
accepted project and is nearing
realization. These plans offer the
Capital choice: Either they will
bring about a further deterioration,
immediate in its effects, if proper
program for the enhancement of the
area traversed by increased traffic is
not adopted, or they will furnish the
foundation for complete rejuvena-
ton of a section of outstanding po-
tentialities which has been neglected
for more than two generations.
If the program of the Committee
of One Hundred is carried forward
deterioration cannot occur. This
plan calls for extension of the Mall
from the Capitol to the Anacostia
River, developed to provide sites for
monumental public and semi-public
buildings. It proposes early realiza-
ton of the public building program,
with view to spreading the traffic
flow over wider area, condition
for which the eastern sections of the
city is admirably suited. III
Current budget estimates proposed
the erection of large Federal Office
building at Lincoln Park and of an
Army medical library and museum
just east of the Folger Library. There
is little possibility of action on these
at this session, but the agreement of
official planners and the committee
of citizens is encouraging.
East Capitol street and it's environs
offer every advantage of topography,
relative location, accessibility and
traffic facilities for the realization of
the finest efforts of city planners.
That such advantages have been
overlooked for so many years by
those in position to act indicates
lack of vision which has been decried
by many citizens of Washington
possessed of true civic foresight.

uctS. Their trade is not ylelQlng Lnem
enough dollars to pay war bills. The re-
suit is that a finance problem is likely
to develop sooner or later. Legally, Japan
could borrow in this country to get need
ed money. The trouble is that the
Japanese today would find few lenders.
Britain and France are better supplied
with money, or with what goes for money,
than they ever were. In the last war
they borrowed heavily from the United
States to pay for their purchases here SO
that they came out of the war with their
investments about intact. Then they
have built up large gold supplies that are
acceptable as money.
But q modern war costs immense
amounts Of money. If this war grows in
intensity, forcing the British and
French to buy on a vast scale in the
United States, their money will run out
at the end of q year or two.
Then win come the test Of whether the
people and Government Of the country
prefer to give up the war business that
now is developing and on which prosper
ity will be built. or whether they want to
20 into the business of lending goods to
the allies in order that war business may
be maintained.
Right now the drift is strongly in the
direction Of deep economic involvement
and there is no sign that that drift will
be reversed or interferred with. In fact,
some officials are saying that if it were
not for the United States both Japan
and the allies would be faced with defeat
today.

During the last months of 1899 orders
from Japan, especially those for iron ant
steel products, tools and machinery, in
creased steadily, indicating an anxiety
regarding uncertainties which may flow
from the termination of the treaty. They
also seem to indicate . dependence of
Japan on the United States as q source
of supply. .'
The whole picture seems to have put
Japan on the spot. That country's fu-
ture course, as well as the course of the
United States, is yet unknown. Each
country, so far as trade relations are
concerned, is free. There are three
courses open to this country. It can cut
of all commerce with Japan, place an
embargo on shipments Of war materials
to that country, or let commerce between
the two nations go along as tariff and
monetary conditions may permit. There
is good guess that the Washington
Government will do all that Is possible
to avoid losing Japans trade.
