Many consider that Roosevelt would | be the weakest candidate the Repub- party could possibly because of his behavior toward Wil- liam Howard Taft. That will never be forgiven him if he lives to be a thousand years old. Again, the vast majority of Americans are against | Roosevelt simply on the grounds that | if he won the nomination this year and were elected he would practically be the possessor of three terms in the White House. Eleven years in the IExecuLi\'e Mansion is broaching too much on king rule to suit the average man who believes in democracy unde- filed. Theodore the First is not a fa- | vorable appellation. Therefore, it might be reasonably concluded that even if Theodore Roosevelt does get | into the ring the best he can do is to precipitate another such condition as held forth in 1912 when he rent his party in twain. He is headed in the same old direction. | ‘While the defeat of this drive to | capture the Massachusetts delegation | to the republican national convention for Roosevelt will have a strong .in- fluence throughout the country and may sound his death knell, there is no telling what will be done by Theo- dore, the Unruly. To poll the vote his representatives got yesterday is in- deed a feat in view of his bolt in 1912, coupled with the fact that he is not even a member of the republican party. Such a showing is attributed, however, to the belief that almost every vote cast in his behalf came from those of his followers who went back into the fold some time ago. Yet with that his strength in the re- united party is not so great, if as sreat, as it was four years ago. Those who have their ears to the rails and who hear the rumhlings from Oyster Bay and divine the true meaning of things know full well that Theodore Roosevelt has now reached the stage where he will sanction no candidacy for the Republican nomination but his own. This being true, he practically stands on a defy already issued to the Republicans in convention assembled, a defy which means, ‘“What are you Boing to do about?’ He has the old party where he wants it. If they do not take him, he will bolt and run c¢n an independent ticket, and he can do it. If they do' take him, all the old standpatters who have washed their hands of him long ago will get on their high-horses and cause trouble. That seems to be the situation to date. It remains for Theodore the Unruly to do something big in the near future. What it will be he alone knows; but it will not be an endorsement of soine candidate other than himself.

(New Haven Times Leader.) She was a pretty little clerk in a shoe store and she was delighted to wait on her old teacher. “Oh, vou must have a lovely white buckskins claimed. “I do not think I would care to wear them,” replled the teacher a woman of fine taste. ‘“But I would like to know what they cost.” “Ten dollars. I'm going to a pair myself.’ “You intend to pay $10 for a pair of fancy white shoes " queried the astonished elder woman, recalling the poverty of the home in which the girl lived. “Why, ves,” replied the $8-a-week girl. “All the girls are wearing them. Of course I must have some.” The teacher went away, worrying over lost opportunities. TWhat is our school air of these she ex- buy system good she wants to know, if it turng out our girls—thousands of them— with no more sense than to put more than a week’s wages into a pair of white shoes. Yet worse than that is the exceedingly bad taste of wear- ing fine white shoes downtown to work at, 8 a. m. There s no use in trying to teach economy to women, she says, unless they are taught the principles of taste in dress first of all. And this ought to be just as much a part of public school training as domestic science has become. The girl clerk who felt that she must have $10 white shoes had that very day paid $16 for a spring hat— an $8 a week girl paying over three weecks’ salary for hat and shoes— and then they say that the high cost of living makes it impossible for wage workers to save a cent. Soloman in all his glory was not red in such splendor as are some of omr girls who feel that they must have all the latest and most costly of fashion’s fads—not omitting the white: shoes. Mrs. Winnifred Harper Cooley has been thinking about the white shoe fad and writes as follows: “Time was when a $3 pair of black shoes lasted any sane God-fearing woman fully two seasons. She pro- tected them with rubbers, hlacked them herself with a good oil dress- ing, leaving them to dry on a news- paper in the bathroom, had them half soled. reheeled and even patched. ““The high ones were supplemented by $2 Oxfords in summer and were brought-out from the packing trunk in the fall for the second season’s wearing. As they began to look “scuffed” and dingy, in spite of black- ing, they might be retired to the su- hordinate position of second best, and a new “Sunday” pair added. All this was not so very long ago. “Those were the wise old days when girls wore woollen stockings in winter, and heavy dresses for warmth. Nowadays the snow and sleet find them in cobweb lacy lin- gerie waists, chiffon sleeves, silk stockings of a wicked transparency and white glace or suede boots. And still the fool killer does not sweep all of us into eternity. “Pneumonia decimates the ranks occasionally and the bread line gets he fag end of the strugglers, but in the main the vast army seem to keep to the diagonal and expansive Broadway, if mnot always to the “strait and nacrow way,” and always are they arrayed as Solomon never was. “Now high white shoes cost $8, $10, $12, and money does not grow on trees. How can feminine folk keep buving a new pair every few wecks, and where do they go, the partly worn shoes? What hecomes of the tan, the pearl gray, the patent leather, the bronze, the champagne color, the virgin white ones? Where are the shoes of teryear? e “It must have taken the sten- ographer nearly a solid week of lahor to earn that ten dollars. The department store clerk worked over a week at a joh meaning many hours a day. Even the bookkeeper and hair dresser stood at their arduous tasks, many, many days to earn that pair of glorious boots. Tt must be that meat bills and rent are in ar- rears. The devil must have sent that storm; but presto next! time we see them they again are shod-like the millionaire. What is the secret. Do they possess an endless chain of vounger sisters to wear their dl carded shoes? Perish the thought! Little sister—cash-girl that she is at $3 a week—would not deign to in- herit a pair of shabhy boots, but appears in her own white high ones, or perchance in spats! “What becomes of all the shoes that are a month old—two months— six months? A little wear, and they rely must show some slgn of and decay—for shoes are mortal— like women—and their beauty must time. But no; they seem to defy natural law and peren- nially to replace themselves, as a snake grows a fresh skin when need- ed. “Who, then, is the recipient of the countless di ded ones, sacrificed to the Moloch Fashion? Who receives all those perfectly good, strong, com- fortable pairs that are merely a hit worn and of a color no longer the latest mode? “YWhat hecomes of the quickly cast off hoots which the fickle fashion fol- lowers have discarded? “How do the vast throngs forever strolling the streets of our cities, as on a moving platform. square it with their consciences to parade in such expensive luxuries in the winter mud, shoes all out of proportion to the other accessories of their toilet and ahove their necessary standards of living 2" No heathen god or goddess has ever had more zealous devotees than Fashion, or a more absurd and hu- millating ritual.

C., April 26.—‘The reported occupation of Cephalonia by French and British forces, for strateg- ic purposes, mar another cycle in the strange history of this little island in the Ionian sea which has played the role of shuttlecock in international diplomacy for more than two thou- sand years. Its unique story is told in the following interesting bulletin issued today by the National Geo- graphic society whose headquarters is in Washington. “With an area about three times as great as that of Martha's Vineyard on the Massachusetts coast, Cephalonia is the largest of the seven Ionian islands. The origin of its settlement is shroud- ed in the fascinating uncertainty of Homeric legend, but from the year of its surrender to the Romans, 189 B. C., 'its history has been marked by a succession of changes in ownership which would bewilder the most astute student of world politics. “After the Roman emperor Hadnian made a gift of the island to Athens, Cephalonia and the six other islands of the Ionian group, became ‘free and autonomous’ but during the ascend- ancy of the Byzantine empire they were subject to its power. “The next change came in the elev- enth century. While William the Con- queror was engaged in establishing himself firmly in the British Isles, an- other Norman, Robert Guiscard (‘the Resourceful’), after conquering south- ern Italy, sailed to the Ionian sea and captured several of the islands, pre- paratory to overthrowing the Greek empire. died on the island of Cephalonia while engaged in quelling a revolt, at a time when he seemed to have laid the foundations for a Norman empire sim- ilar to that which William established in England. “Following Robert Guiscard’s inva- sion, Cephalonia passed in turn under This remarkable adventurer | the suzerainty of the princes of Tar- entum, the five counts of Tocco, the republic of Venice, the ravaging cor- sairs of Greece and Naples, the Turks, the Spanish-Venetian allies, Venice again, France, the Russo-Turkish al- lies the French and the British. Great Britain finally relinquished its pro- tectorate and ceded the islands to Greece after the latter had allowed the Court oe St. James to name a brother of the Princess of Wales as | king of the Hellenes in 1862. “The chief city of Cephalonia is Argostoli, which has an excellent har- bor and which Is especially noted for its curious sea mills, operated by a current of sea water flowing through a chasm in the rocky shore. Across the bay from Argostoli is the rival port of Luxouri. “Cyclopean and Hellenic walls are still standing on the sites of the an- cient cities of Cranii, Proni apd Samos, while a few miles beyond Argostoil there rises a relic of Venetian days, | the strongly fortified castle of St George. “The Cephalonians, who are men- tally alert and who are more purely Greek than the inhabitants of any of the other islands of the Ionian group, have shown great ingenuity and in- | qustry in building terraces for the cul- | tivation of the vine and olive. One of { the chief products of the island s a peculiarly flavored currant which | finds a ready market in Holland, Bel- | glum and Germany. In addition to | their agricultural pursuits, the Cep)m- | lonians are interested in shipbuilding, | silk-spinning, basket-making and the | manufacture of carpets. An odd lace, made of aloe fibre, is exported. “Elato, also known as Monte Ne- gro (Black Mountain), which is more than 5,000 feet high, gets its name from the dark pine forests which clothe its slopes.” in disregard of necessary frugality and common sense she becomes a peril from which all sensible people should flee. Fashion taxes without reason, and collects without mercy—fashion can- not be ignored, but there is no ex- cuse for becoming fashion’'s slave. The $8 a week girl who pays $10 for a pair of white shoes—the $8 a week girl who pays $16 for a spring hat, isn't a devotee of fashion—she is just a very unwise girl. Our Dwindling Dollar. (Providence Journal.) The American dollar, right at home is worth today only between sixty- two and sixty-three cents, according to the calculation of an economist who has been keeping track of its purchasing value for some years past. That is to say, whereas the dollar was exchangeable for a certain amount of conmmodities, including living ne- cessities, during a period arbitrarily chosen to start the calculation with, it will now purchase less than sixty- three per cent. of that quantity. Everybody, particularly perhaps every housecholder, realizes keenly that the dollar has depreciated witn- in the past ten or fifteen years. Tho young man who, with an annual in- come, say, of a thousand dollars, married fifteen years ago and who now come, may be puzzled because he is not able to save much, if any, more than when he set up housekeeping. If he has a growing family he may attribute it wholly to that. But if he has kept his old bills—particularly the grocery and market account—he will have no difficulty in finding the true explanation. At the present rate of depreciation, it will not be long before two thousand dollars will go no further than a thousand did only | I a few years ago. The period selected for this ‘“dol- lar index” for considering the dollar as at its par value, was between 1900 and 1906. At that time, too, it was worth considerably less than in the immediately preceding period of four to six years. If the index were set back, say, to 1896, it would be found that by 1900 the dollar had lost about twenty-five cents in pur- chasing value. Accordingly, reckoned from former date, the depreciation at the present time represents a loss of fully fifty per cent. in twenty vears. Assuming the accuracy of this rather startling showing, an income of a thousand dollars in 1896 was equiva- lent to two thousand dollars today. Starting with the dollar at par in purchasing power between 1900 and 1908, it appears that by 1913 it had dropped to eighty-two cents. Tt will be recalled that at that time the ““high cost of living” was an acute is- sue, politically as well as economical- 1 But the cost of living has been leaping and bounding upwards since then. The great war came along to ift it just at the time when, by ihe natural law of cycles, a swing dowr- ward might have heen expected. The value of the dollar has been falling to new levels monthly since the war began. At the beginning of 1916 it was below sixty-four cents, and now it is below sixty-three. Verifving the dollar index, Bradstreet’s commodity price index, as of the first of April, establishes a new high record, the seventh successive rise in as many months. This depreciation of the dollar has been more rapid and persistent than probably ever before in its history. A long time may elapse before it re- covers its value at the 1900-6 level. if it ever does. But. since the fallinx process cannot continue indefinitely. we mayv hope to see the quotation back to seventy cents or so in a little while. Should it soon get back to eighty cents, we would probably be so happy that we wonld forget en- tirely that. a few yeavs ago, when it fell down to that quotation, the whole country complained bitterly and cried aloud for relief from the high cost of living. the has a two-thousand dollar in- | baso | When Is a Person Dead?

So far they have expedi- mented only with animals, but they are satisfled that the serum would work similarly on human beings. One case réported is that of a dog that had been drowned four hours ' before the treatment began. The dead dog was brought back to life by an injection of the serum. It died later, however, of blood pressure— & dangerous after effect which the doe- tors are trying to guard against. ‘Wonderful results have been ob- tained by the use of the pulmotor, to induce artificial respiration, but there i¢ said to be no case on record of an animal or person that has been re- vived by a pulmotor after being “dead” for as long as four hours.
