There-will be no skating on the new park property in the north end of the city. this winter, and the reason for it is that there is no dam to hold back the water and create a pond such as existed there for several sea- sons and from which ice has been cut. The basin covers several acres and at the south end the dam was located, but during a long wet spell in the early part of the year it burst and swept away the bridge on the Stanley Quarter road. ‘X As explained in another column of the Herald today, the park commis- sioners were ready to spend $500 which they had saved from their ap- propriation for Walnut Hill, but found that more money would be required, es it would be necessary to make the dam permanent on account of the state law, and, as the funds were not provided, there was nothing to do but to abandon the improvement. This is to be regpetted because the new park property’ rds a splendid place for skating without any danger of Growning. Last vear hundreds of reople enjoyed the skating there and it was predicted that when the prop- erty passed into the hands of the city that it would be used in the winter for skating purposes, and now when the time has come for the sport it is discovered that the necessary prepa- rations have had to be abandoned be- cause of the lack. of a few hundred, dollars. It 'is too late to do anything row anyway, and presumably all that can be done is to grin and bear the disappointment, and resolve to see that the improvements will be made next vear. It looks as if it may be a long winter and a severe one, too, though splendidly adapted for such outdoor sport as skating. There are cther places where the sport can be indulged in, but it would be nicer to be able to enjoy it in our own yard.

Editor Herald.—GeMfan Americans Britain will @oubtless be in- terested to learn of. the sudden death in Ndw Yoik city of Dr*Ernst Rich- ard, professor of Gerfnan culture and literaturd at Columbia apd one of the guests of honor at the German Day celebration in New Britain a vear ago { last August. Di. Rithard's death caiie ias the result of an‘operatign for ab- scess of the brain. Less than a week ago he was walking about the campu in fgull vigor; today New York -German population mourning the loss of one of its mgst distinguished figures. \ . When the delegation of Germun Students representing the Corda Fra- tres international collegiate ties canic to New Britain for the German exercises thcy were acocmpanied Dr. Richard and his family. He wa easily the most commanding person- age in the group of yisitors who add- ed an uncxpected clement of dis- tinction to that occassion. Anyone Wwho climbed the heights of Scheutzen park on that hot afternoon in August will remember the large, powertul man with a full beard, who spoke =0 eloquently in his native tongue, pressing the appreciation of Britain's welcome to-the German dents and to Germans in generai. That was Dr. Richard. On the eve- ning of ‘that:same day the di guished German professor was intro duced to the leading German re dents at two private receptions held in honor of the visitors. As an exponent of peace, Dr. Richard might be com- pared to Elihu Burritt, and her again, his sudden taking-off has a peculiar significance to New Britain. Since he came to this country in 1883 his life . had been given up to the cause of peace. He was the founder of the New York Peace society, he originated the German Peace and he has written and delivered innumer- able lectures against the great evil that involves civilized Europe toda: One of Dr. Richard’s original plan for furthering international peace was the temporary exchange of youthful citizens as a means of promoting comity between nations. Seventcen he thought to be the ideal age to be- Dead in by New international gin the passing of a year or more in a foreign home, becoming acquainted with the life and language of the peo- ple. His comprehensive system called for an exchange of board and lodging between families of differcat countries. In discussing the said: “This exchange would take place between families of approx mately the same walk of life. This would necessitate the maintenance of a bureau of exchange in the United States to keep a record of the address- es, social position, religious faith and the llke, of the persons of all nations who registered themselves as willing to exchange their offspring for 2 summer or two.” At first glance such a scheme may appear visionary but the fundamental idea is sound. Inter- national prejudices are-based on ig- norance.. Dr. Richard knew that the more we know about people the bet- ter we are able to judge them and hence the fairer we are in our opin- jons. His plan is in line with the ex- change of professors:between Ameri- can and foreign universities which had worked out with conspicious success up to the opening of the war. Dr. plan he once Richard was one of the fir to foresee the oportunity of rela- tionships with the growing Souih American republics and he put special emphasis on South American ex- changes to assist this country in de- veloping its commerce with that con- tinent. American condemnation of Ger- many in this war affected Dr. Rich- ard deeply. Naturally a lover of peace he was disappojnted in tie war on general principles but the at- titude of the United States press to his Fatherland gave him bitter cha- grin. On one occassion during the summer session at Columbia he gave an interview to the “Student” in which he rebuked the American press. He felt that the newspapers were unfair because they did not un- derstand the German viewpoint. Another blow came to him when {he Columbia gymnasium took fire at midnight six weeks ago. In thot blaze he lost material on German culture and a history of the German civilization, notes and manuscripts covering vears of patient research. On the morning after the fire Dr. Richard was noticed poking around among the ruins trying to rescue the water-soaked remains of his paper: In 1911 he published a history of the German civilization which has passcd through two editions. He also con- tributed frequently to the German and American magazines. Dr. Richard is survived by his wife, a son, and one daughter, who is acting as a Red Cross nurse in a Duesseldorf hospital.

He awaited the avitation of events within @nd nong the political factions in Mes ico under the sardonic advice of much older pelitician, concerning uatior which » culminated, when Ison w a schoolboy, as to let New York ecity democ tew in their own juicc That we think, wa what Dean Richmond advised William L.

President Wilson was able to let cer- tain factions in Mexico neutral one another by mutual exhaustion. They are now “neutralizing” one another in the Mexican way, but the United States is not engaged in their conflict. Tt is instructive to reflect how catchery of one generation conve under the pressure of changed na far-remote conditions into the apoth- egms of other times and of other countries. Dean Richmond, Samuel J. Tilden, William L. Marcy, Joha Morrissey, Fernando Wood and other New Yorkers could never have fore- seen the situation in Mexico which exists today, and in which at Vera Cruz our army and navy are main- taining the peace and paramounicy of the United States. Nothing more swift and nothing more necessary than seizure of Vera Cruz has occurred our American experience. Unda Taylor and Scott and other old-time war chieftains and politicians, war between Mexico and this country oc- curred. But under Woodrow Wilson war has been averted from the Unitad States and civilization ' without war has been vindicated by the United States not only at Vera Cruz, bhut along the entire length of Mexico so far as the relations between that mon- grel country and this republic are con- cerned. So whether Villa kills Carranza rran: Villa, is their busine: her way is our loss. Either w: is the vindication of the wisdom of the abstention of this administration from meddling or mixing in what tragically concerns Mexico, but only indifferently concerns ourselves. | certain factions signal, the in or Odd Sunday School Notions. (Universalist Leader.) ‘We are used to meeting the man who thinks Sunday schools are de- lightful places for perfectly good girls and young women and old maids, but it will undoubtedly be interesting to the big army of Sunday school men, women and children in Lackawanna county, which recently entertained the state Sunday school convention, to know that the modern Sunday school, in its beginning, met with op- position even in the churches of the day—the latter part of the eighteenth century. Indeed, these two word “opposition” and “indifference,” mar the change in attitude on the part of many toward all institutions of re- ligion. Once it was positive opposi tion; today it is passive indifference. It was easier to meet the positive op- position than it is to meet the pas- sive indifference. The first pronounced enemies of the Sunday scinool were in the churches themselves. When Robert Raikes, in 1780, gathered the street urchinsg of Gloucester into a Sabbath and paid four old women a shilling apiece to teach them reading, writing and religion, he was de- nounced as an enemy to the church and to the state. The archbishop of Canterbury called a meeting of the hierarchy to *devise ways and means to crush the dangerous enterprise, The leading English papers declared that Raike's plan was “subversive of that order, that industry, that peace and tranquility which constitute the happiness of society, and, far from deserving encouragement and ap- plause, it me our contempt, and cught to be exploded as the vain, chimerical institution of a visionar; projector.” A famous ihe Scotch preacher insisted nday school would ‘“de- religion,” and even John . wrote in his dubious ‘Perhaps God may have o ! deeper end thercto than men are aware of. Who knows but that some of these schools may become nurseries for Christians In our own coun- try the opposition was strenuous and bitter. As late as 1820 a Connecticut pastor, discovering a small class hud- dled in the gallery, chased its daring members out of the church with his cane, declaring that they were of Satan, doing the devil's work. A Michlgan Camp. (Congregationalist.) One of Michigan’s recognized indus- tries is the boys’ camp, where better boys are made. There are many such amps in the state; hundreds of beau- tiful lakes dot the map of the com- monwealth and furnish ideal retreats for the summer for every sort of nste But out of them all there is one Hayo-Went-Ha, the camp founded eleven years ago by the state association of the Young Men's Chris- tian association and given w name of the mighty Indian chieftain who l 'ms and knows the an- leemented the five nations of the Iro- quois and did many acts of unselfish- | ness in his long life. The spirit of | Hayo-Went-Ha has been breathed | into this quiet retreat nestling at the foot of the hills surrounding Torch lake, the largest inland lake in the state. The motto there is, “Each for all and all for each,” and according to a famous visitor there the past summer, the motto has not degenerat- ed into “Reach for all and all for reach.”” The spirit of “do something for the other fellow” dominates, and each of the 516 boys from twelve to sixteen who were in attendance dur- ing this scason seemed to have im- bibed the idea. A rigid schedule of work and play marks the camp ac- tivity, no boy is allowed to go to sleep before the time comes. The fellows think nothing now of taking the fifty-five mile hike around the lake and sleeping out in their blankets for the night. Efficiency is | the watchword, and every boy strives | for the highest standard of physical, mental, moral and spiritual excel- lence, A Dbeautiful cup is the win- ner's trophy. A feature of Hayo- Went-Ha camp the past season was | a group of farm boys who spent two weeks in recreation and study with an agricultural instructor from tae state college. Bread. Made of Tulip Bulbs. (Washington Star.) Soon after the pressure of the war began to be felt in continental Eu- rope, it was reported that the people of Holland were using tulips for bread—that is, that they were grind- ing the bulbs into flour and baking loaves of this, Bread has been baked of many things that grow besides tulip bulbs, The use of potato flour is well known in Europe, and it forms a part of the soldiers’ war bread of Germany and Austria, not only be- cause it is nutritious and well flav- ored, but because when combined with wheat flour it lends a sort of permanency to the bread which keeps it from growing stale as soon as it otherwise would. With the remark- able development of the banana grow- ing industry and the increase in the consumption of this fruit throughout a large part of the world has come the proposal that the fruit when dried can be ground into flour, of which ex- cellent bread may be made. Experi- ments on a somewhat more extensive scale taan laboratory operations have been carried out, and it has been re- ported that these have been success- ful. It has been assumed by investi- gators of the subject that perhaps the earliest form of bread was pre- pared from beech nuts and acorns, and baked cakes of crushed acorns or acorn meal have been eaten from im- memorial times by the American In- dians, and are still eaten by some of the remaining tribes on the Pacific coast, In the ethnological exhibit in the National museum figures of In- dians at work making acorn bread may be seen. It is not the raw acorn which is used. Everybody who has bitten into a fresh acorn knows that the meat is somewhat bitter, and that, containing a high percentage of tan- nin, it is decidedly astringent. The flour of acorns is unfit to be eaten until it has been long soaked in boil- ing water, but after the tannin has been extracted the meat or the meal is sweet, palatable and nourishing. The practice of baking bread or cakes from pounded or ground grains of all kinds is older than written his- tory. The earliest Egyptians baked cakes of durra, or sorghum, and these cakes have been found in the oldest tombs, In the courtyard of every house in Chaldea was an oven for baking bread of beaten grain, and evidences of grain pounding and cake baking have been found in the Swiss lake dwellings that date back into the stone age. In southern Europe chest- nut bread made of the flour of finely ground chestnut meats has long been used, and to some extent still is eaten in Italy and Spain. The flour of peas, beans and other leguminous seeds is also baked into cakes and in South America the meal of the tapioca | plant is employed for making bread. Buckwheat is a non-cereal flour, yet its virtues are known and re- spected by every man, woman and child in the United States. Every- body has a grateful word to say for the happy cakes made from buck- wheat flour. There are many species of millet, and flour for bread and cake making is obtained from all of them, and largely consumed in southern Europe and in Asia. Rye bread and corn bread. or ‘‘maize” bread, as it is better known in near- ly all other parts of the world out- | side of the United States, have done | much and will continue to do much, | for the sustenance and support of the human race. Oat cakes and barley bread have contributed liberally of themselves to make life worth living. Bread fruit, or the fruit of the tree known by botanists as Artocarpus in cisa. is an important and valuable article of food among the people of the tropical islands of the Pacific ocean. Baked, its taste is described | as very much like that of white pota- toes and milk. It is globular and of about the size of a cantaloupe. It is used as a vegetable and eaten with meat and grav or, combined with milk, sugar and butter, is made into an excellent pudding. Often the fruit is dried and then reduced to flour, of which bread and puddings are made. It is called bread fruit, not alone because its flavor is sug- gestive of well baked wheat bread, but because its flavor is such that one never tires of it, and because it is tae islanders’ staff of life, bearing the same relation to them that bread does to a large portion of the human family. £ The Death's Head Hussars, (Kansas Times.)
