Not to be outdone by his colleagues

in insuring the futuresafetyof the

advocated by some of his fellows
i.i the upper house.
it is nothing of the spectacular
the ( t ih senator's plan. It
h i s no giant warships or sub
m s, no martini battalions backed
light.v guns; no war planes or
Hons plants. Neither does the
i lor want • to institute universal
ary training or teach the young
how to shoot. He does not even

Indeed, a more pacific plan of
pi i-a redness could hardly he imag
in' I. No one is to be injured in the
1 test degree by the senator’s brand
of i repa redness.
for all this he will probably win
r i i fame as a preparedness ex
ut if his plan secures congres
I sanction than the most rabid
1 . rationist in congress.
he succeeds In securing the kind
eparedness he wants, he will not
have assisted mightily in the
n nal defense blit will also win the
mg gratitude of a major portion
t male citizens of this broad
r.l glorious U. S. A.
it tin 1’tuh senator wants is
■ redness for good housekeeping
better homes." That’s what he,
call* it.
Tons of thousands of homes are
t
ruin' d by helpless and ignorant house
keepers and the American garbage
(■'a is the fattest in the world,” the
■ i i lor declared the other day when
uiptng action on his bill for increased
appropriation for leaching home econ
omics.
The senator claims that this kind
i i i.t <-paredness is just as essential to
future safety of the country as
■hips and guns and mountainous
i ' of munitions, it is his desire
to prepare by sparing the pocket
and the digestion of his fellow
i a . ns by, as he says, "prepareing
iris and mothers of the country

I had a dozen daughters and was

W( ilil still want eaeli to know how to
1 and make her own clothes,” said
nator during the course of his
hs, which he adroitly interjected
in'" tlie senate discussion of national
defi 'use, •'! cannot understand why
girl of the working classes are
ashamed to confess and rather pride
themselves upon their ignorance of
the simplest forms of cooking. Then,
'ter marriage, they bewail their fata
if their husbands, tormented with
dyspepsia, seek relief at the restau
rs ut or. In many cases, in strong
drink.
"ft is a crime and wicked in the
'i of God to have the products of
tin farm made next to useless by
poor cooking."
The senator declared that during a
short investigation he found that do
mestic science was not taught in tiny
one of the six nationally known col
leges for women which he named.
"And, in nearly all of these schools,"
he said, "four years of preparatory
Until) are positively required. This
simply means that our leading schools
for girls do not teach the one thing
that every girl should be taught,
namely, how to manage a home."
When one comes to think It over
there ie a Whole lot more !u the sena
tor's kind of preparedness than ap
pears at flrst glance. Especially -if
one chances to be a male, one cannot
but agree that the ideas of the Utah
representative are eminently sensible
and as vital to the safety of the na
tion as those more magnificent plans
for national defense calling for the
piling up of arms and the creation
of mighty instruments of destruction.
One thing is certain, the senator's
ideas will receive the endorsement
of every man Jack in the country
who has a home of his own or con
templated gelling one. Conditions
are becoming such that domestic
economy is becoming a vital neces
sity. There is more waste in Am
erican homes than in any country on
earth. And much, if not most Of it,
is due (o the absence of proper edu
cation in domestic science. As the
senator declares. "The American gar
bage can is the fattest in the world.”
| Others of established authority tell us
• ~1 "i _ -?tt: i-'-'-sli-ii——esisua "
that wo are fast becoming a nation
of dyspeptics and back up tho sena
tor's argument by assorting that half
of it at least is due to Improperly
cooked food. The tendency is to teach
girls I«ntin and overlook instruction
in tho gentle art of grilling a beef
steak or making a digestible biscuit.
By all lueaus lei us have some of
the senator's brand of prepareduess.
Give the girls all the Latin they can
cram but dont' let us overlook the
vital necessity for saving the diges
tion and health of the nation and cut
ting down the size of the garbage can.

PLACER ONLY
BEGINNING
In the past few years the quartz
Indus;r\ In . Insku has taken extra
ordinary hounds and almost without
(lie notice of the general public.
Amongst the treat mines still in their
money are li.ose of the Alaska Gus
ilneau, Alaska Juneau, laitouehe, Kl
lamar, the Granite, the York tin mines,
Willow creek. New Countries liken
Itruud Pass, Moose Pass, the Stikine
iver have Just come to the surface
,ml make it evident that the opening
i Alaska is only beginning. The In
creased price for copper and anti
mony has had an immediate effect in
ni tensing the mineral output, and,
r sUll, has had the effect of in
creusing the prospecting for them.
airlianks now boasts of having the
largest antimony mine in the world,
and who ever thought of antimony
m Fairbanks a few years ago? An
other question which might have an
instructive suggestion in the usking
is: Who would have mined quartz
gold or antimony in the Tatiana if
placer had never been discovered
there? The question suggested the
"'i'll proven truth that placer is only
the beginning of mineral countries.
It is the bait to draw the people there
for greater tilings.
