This he showed forcibly at a later meeting, when he announced that he would not keep a cent of the free will offering, that will be asked for at the close of the campaign. Usually on the last day a collection -is taken up for the evangelist himself. One of the main arguments em ployed by his opponents has been that he Is working for money that his bank account profits handsomely from his revivals. But he will not keep a cent of the money given him by New York, whether lt la a thousand dollars or a million. After paying his as sistants, as always has been his cus tom, he will divide the remainder equally between the American Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. field forces working among the soldiers and sail ors of the United States. He said this was "calling New York's bluff." It certainly has put New York on its mettle. It gives New York a chance H CM AXE WEEK. 83IAIL-TOWN patriotism. I The present week marks the culmi.

Why lt Is so we completed contracts to the service of those two countries, by lengthening the workday and by adapting other plants to munition-making. This re quires the most extensive mobilization of industry, including labor, by the National Defense Council. Only by the most careful and skilful distribu tion of our industrial plants and vof our labor supply can we keep the war industries In operation to capacity, produce the needed supply of food on the farm and at the same time recruit the Army and Na'7 to the desired strength in time to make them of any service In this war. It is difficult to understand how all these essentials of the war can be pro vided without compulsory service. In effect, all the resources, not only of our fighting forces but of our Indus tries, farms, forests and mines, must be enlisted in military service. If we rely on voluntary enlistment for the Army and Navy, many men may be taken who are more needed In the factory or on the farm. If recruiting officers should be Instructed to re ject such men, much motion would be lost and raising of the desired force would be seriously delayed, while needless expense would be Incurred. It Is the duty of the Nation to husband its resources In order that they may be used to the best effect in the war and In the gigantic work of recon structlon which will follow. It is the duty of every citizen to do his part in that place where he can be of most service. Only by giving the Government power to put each man In that place can waste of time, money and human energy be prevented. We owe it to ourselves and to the great cause in which we are fighting to use our en tire resources with true economy, which can be practiced only by treat ing each citizen as a part of the vast machine military, naval.

They put In tomatoes, carrots and eel ery, leave out milk, and boil the clams until they are tough. It is a bitter indictment, probably deserved. Judging from the description, the dish Is what is commonly known in the West as Coney Island clam chow der. It is the one thing that has made us refrain from visiting what may otherwise be an Interesting pleas ure resort. Now the suspicion per sists that the concoction is prevalent in all New York, Boston clam chowder has milk Id it At least that Is the name given milk clam chowder by Western cooks. It is quite probable that Boston has not yet succumbed to the popular culinary custom of making staples taste like something else or like a lot of other things. Boston is sides, Boston inherited its clam chowder. It is tradition that one of the first acts of the Pilgrim Fathers was to set up a chowder kettle Just west of Ply mouth Rock.

The whole tuber, or the generous part of one, commonly has a way of taking care of -.he germinating element in time, for example, of early drouth. One com mon fault of American growers, who work in haste and depend largely on machinery, is that they do not bring the soil to the high state of tilth that is always desirable. The whole potato used as seed atones for a lot of omis sions on tha gardener's part. The eye, planted alone, must be placed in the ground with care and tended with more care. It calls for soil well pulverized and careftflly pressed around the seed. It will do better If irrigation is practiced con servatively while it Is being estab lished.

The next four years, or during the administration of the next Mayor elect, there will be many auestions of the greatest importance to our city which will have to be solved, ques tions that will be very intricate, that will have to be worked out and can only be worked out by a man of sound, logical and broad business training and experience. For example, should the city decide to own and furnish Its own electric energy for the purpose of lighting the city and attempt to hydro expert and develop its own elec trical power, is there a man in the employ of the city as Commissioner or a candidate so far named that has had any experience In hydro experting power propositions, building dams. building power plants or equipping same, or has had any experience what ever In that line of work?

A correspondent, whose letter is printed in another column, suggests the formal adoption of "Dixie" as a National air and marching song. All that the correspondent Eays of the stirring qualities of the tune of "Dixie" and of the applause that greets lt whenever it Is played is true. Yet acceptance of a National song is not a formal matter. As for "Dixie," de lightful as is its swing, and infectious as is the rolicking melody, it is never theless self-limited. Notwithstanding the undoubted loyalty of the South, "Dixie" is still pre-eminently a South ern song first; its wider acceptance is secondary. And the words that Dan Emmett, the minstrel, wrote for it cling to it. in spite of everything. Once General Albert Pike, when the song was at the eighth of its popularity in the Con federacy, tried to dignify it with no bler words, like these: householder is truly on the horns of a serious dilemma.

K. writes: "What are the func tions of the lacteal glands; also what foods act directly upon them?" REPLY. The breasts are made up of fat and lacteal glands. The lacteal glands, also known as the mammary glands and loosely termed the breasts, are the glands which secrete milk There are no foods which act directly on the lacteal glands ln a proper sense. In a certain sense milk, butter and all products of milk and butter act on the lacteal glands. Other foods also act on them in lesser measure. For Instance, meat, bread and vegetables. Beer and malt liquors have no special action on these glands. FItUIT JX'ICE FOR BABIES M. W. writes: "1. Is it customary to give a 3-months-old baby fruit Juices? 2. How Is potato Juice made?

I am glad to notice in The Ore gonlan that voices have been raised against the spending of money on the Rose Festival this year. Indeed.- this is no time for luxuries of this kind, when we are confronted with issues of such importance; Issues wnicn will soon draw upon our resources, financial and otherwise. The money which is going to be raised for the Rose Festival can be used at this par ticular time (or at any time, for that matter) to a better purpose. Let us not forget the Red Cross. I hope that in the future -the koso Festivals willvbe done away with alto gether, as, besides flooding the town with idlers from the country and de moralizing the trarfic tney do not ac complish very much. While we are fooling away our time ano spenains our money on no3e resnvma o which has no Rose festival, peia ino best of us every time. L. RlCfc.N. From Lexington to Santiago The Veteran's Lament.
