In fact, it doesn’t enter into the sphere of human operations at all. but It is a handv unit of astronomy. It is equal to 20.006.000.000.000 miles and is the distance traveled by light in 3.3 years. High Meat Prices Likely to Continue For Long Time Yet Peace will not bring cheaper meat or more of it. Wartime prices are likely to con tinue for several years atter the war is formally ended and food control lers are memories. There is a pos sibility prices may go even higher. Meanwhile millions of families in the United States and Europe will be forced to continue meatless meals and days. _ This is indicated in the British food ministry's survey of the food situation, which emphasizes the vast depletion of cattle in every country. The survey also indicates similar world wide shortages of sugar, ani mal fats, milk and the possibility of soaring prices of tea, coffee, rice; sago, pepper, allspices and many dry groceries. It is the after-the-war task of the allied food conference, composed of the food controllers of the United States and allied nations, to prevent, so far as possible, a world wide scramble for food in the United States and other countries after peace is signed. After-the-war price soaring is more to be feared than war profiteering. The British air ministry’s statis ticians have compiled figures to show the comparative Increases in food prices during the war. Those countries in which the in i crease has been greatest are the ones now most short of food. The table is scaled from July, 1914, of which the food prices are put at 100 per cent. The table follows; July July July July Oct. 1914 1017 1918 1913 1918 United King- dom 100 185 179 179 190 France 100 170 160 203 220 Italy 100 149 154 256 264 United States 100 140 148 153 161 Sweden 100 160 178 268 305 Switzerland .. 100 180 186 213 215 Germany .... 100 181 201 249 228 Austria 100 $lB 367 502 622 In Austria, it will be noticed, food cost more than six times as mu-h in October, 1918. as in July, 1914, in dicating greater shortage there now than in any other country. Practically all European countries are absolutely without fats and will have to be supplied by the United States in so far as that is possible. In Germany the fats ration was 2 ounces a week at the close of the fighting. Scandanavia has no bacon and no pork. Only in Denmark is the butter supply adequate. Holland, France and Italy are short of all fata. Milk Is short In England and al most non-existent in Germany, Aus tria and Hungary, while Sweden, Denmark. Holland. Italy and Switzer land have only short supplies.

Are Pastors’ Sons ü ßlack Sheep?” CASE OF YOUNG DA VIS, $40,000 EMBEZZLER, RECALLS OLD SAYING Are ministers’ sons "black sheep?” Is the old proverb true or The strange case of young Ar thur C. Davis, twenty-one, minis ter’s son and $40,(100 embezzler, has brought this question once more to the tore. Pastors ought to know. But pastors disagree. Davis’ father is a well-known pastor of Portland, Ore. The lad married in his teens, had a good job as clerk in the Last Side bank, out ran into debt. .When he kissed his wife as though going to work, and skipped for San Francisco with a suit case full of cash and securities, there was one baby. Now there are two. The boy heard the tiny cry of that baby seven hundred miles. It brought him to his senses. Sur rendering to a policewoman, he re turned most of the stolen money and goes north to face trial, prob ably before a woman jury. His wife is true to him. Did Davis go wrong because he is a “minister’s son?” San Francisco pastors differ. Bev. W. A. Cowden, First Pres byterian church, says: “it is not true that minister s sons are handicapped. More is ex pected of them —that’s all. This alone has led to minister’s sons, more than any other class of men, being good, doing good and making g But Rev. John H. Poucher, Cen tral Methodist church, differs: "Ministers’ children lead an un natural existence. Everybody is watching them. For that reason they are likely to ‘slop over.’ ” To this Rev. Thomas Parker, St. Paul’s Episcopal church, rather agrees. He says: “Unless a boy has full expres sion of himself, psychological trou ble is likely to develop later. In ministers’ families there is often repression due to an impractical idea of religion. I doubt, however, whether that is the general rule.” Then comes Rev. C. R. Abra, Green Street Congressional church, and declares: "Woodrow Wilson is a minister’s son!” And the "black sheep” theory is flatly scouted by Rev. Frank M. Silsley, First Presbyterian church. Oakland, who says: “Statistics show that fewer min isters’ sons go wrong than any other class. That is because their home life is paved with pt*ayer and devotion. “The mfniters’ son is handican- HDW AMERICAN WOMEN HELPED OUR DOUGHBOYS Wife of Major Theodore Roosevelt, Jr,, Tells of Wel fare Work Behind the Lines in France How American women Y.

M. C. A., for overseas duty. She went over in June, ISH7, and took charge of the first canteen established in Paris. "When the authorities decided, for several reasons, the principal one being that a mail must be always on call, that the soldiers must take their leave in certain restricted areas, the men evinced the greatest indig nation and disgust,” Mrs. Roosevelt declared. "They christened the first of the areas, which was Aix-les- Balns, "Ashes and Pains,” and were surly even when they left the train there. Women Take Charge "We went ahead and took entire charge of the place. We hired the Casino and Installed a canteen where the bar had been, leaving the brass rail and the marble coun ters there for old times sake. The Baccarat room was turned into a place for religious gatherings and other rooms were fixed up as thea ters and libraries. "We arranged excursions and pic nics across the lake and into the mountain, bicycle rides, hikes and fishing trips for the day time and shows, movies, concerts and ‘stunts’ for the evenings. “These first troops came direct from the front line trenches where they had been fighting only the night before and they were caked with mud. They look casually about the town upon their arrival, but when they saw what had been arranged for them they hurried away to get cleaned up. refusing to enter the buildings as thev were dressed. “Within a day every man had en tered into the spirit of the place and they were playing like young sters." Baker Urges New Army Enlistments on Congress Secretary of War Baker has urged congress to provide a new law en couraging army enlistment.

He gets teased, but he can stand it. “Besides Wilson, Hughes is a minister’s son. So was Cleveland. There are more ministers’ sons in •Who’s Who’ than there are minis ters.” How about It?

He also has made a tour of roadhouses, al leged to be disreputable, and several arrests and convictions have resulted from his activities. In addition to holding a city police badge, Dr. Carter has been sworn in as a deputy sheriff of Silver Bow county. MONTANA BOOZE PARLORS WILL CLOSEJANUMYI State-wide prohibition goes into ef fect in Montana at midnight of De cember 31, this year. With the pass ing of the saloon there will disappear one of the picturesque institutions of the west. At one time the saloon was an important feature in the so cial life of the hardy pioneers of the Treasure State. In the early days when men were blazing the western trails, the saloon followed them and, as a rule, was among the first industries to set up and transact business in the commu nity. With a canvas for a top and board bridging two boxes for a bar, hospitality at so much a drink was dispensed to the argonauts. As communities prospered the own er of the saloon or “half way house” waxed prosperous in proportion. The barkeeper’s was a strenuous life, for those who sought the cheer he dis pensed included miners, cowboys. In dian fighters, cattlemen, sheepmen, the renegade and the ne’er-do-well.

This work, which was begun in 1906, has been steadily pushed along with funds furnished by the state de partment of agriculture and the United States department of agri culture co-operating with the respec tive counties. If the next legislature passes a state-wide stock law and provides a small amount of funds for the work, it is estimated that the state can be easily cleared of the tick during the year 1919. Stock Law Needed On account of the geographical lo cation of the counties now infested, it is very hard to make rapid prog ress in cleaning this section entirely. The lack of a stock law, and the prevalence of free-range conditions, however, furnish the greatest hin drance to the work. This is appar ent to any observer, as the princi ple of lick eradication is based on the periodical dipping of infested cattle in a poisoned solution. This is difficult at all times, and at some times impossible where the cows are wild from having been living in the swamps. Those cattle which are not dipped, of course, quickly infest such as are free from the tick, making it necessary to do the work over again. In fact, it has been estimated that it will cost $127,300. under free range conditions, to clear up the re maining territory. If there were stock-law conditions existing here, the cost would be decreased to $73,- 330, with a much greater decrease in the amount of time neoessary to d« the work. Value Is Increased Dr. ’William Moore, state veterina rian. has estimated that the increas ed value of these cattle in these counties, if fr<»e from ticks, would ,be $245,841. According to Dr. Moore, the passage of a state-wide stock law would be a most economical sten. in that the department of sericul ture could save the money which now being put into this work each vear. and cou’d divert it to other nrnjeets for promoting agriculture. “This seems fair also." savs Dr. Moore, "because those tavnayers not in the ouarantine area have wisely gotten rid of the ticks long ago." Alaska Was Bargain For U. S. Government Alaska has been worth much more than it cost the United States. A half century ago Alaska was pur chased at a cost of $7,200,000, and that original investment has been re turned to the nation more than sev enty-fold from the products of the land and sea. Alaska has added to the national wealth upward of $500.- 000,000, the greate.? portion of which has been produced during the last 20 years.

PARIS, Dec. 14. —(By Mail.) —The biggest story in the world—in a deerskin coat—stood on the bridge of the George Washington as she steamed out of New York harbor. It was President Wilson. The coat he wore was the gift of a Georgia friend and made of several fine deer skins. Hat in hand, he stood beside Mrs. Wilson acknowledging the din of whistles, sirens, bells and cheers that voiced bon voyage. The weather getting rough early, George Creel retired to his stateroom shortly after the vessel got under way. He was not available to visi tors for several days. President Wilson rested most of the first three days, retiring early. Mrs. Wilson, in a long black fur coot, promenaded the deck at regular intervals. ‘Abandon ship” drill the second day out gave the passengers their first opportunity to try out life belts and get their life boat assignments. One passenger, Captain , U. 8. N., being an old-timer, didn’t feel the need of carrying his life belt out on deck. you should set the exam ple, said Ambassador Jusserand, ex changing views with th<j captain*on the subject. Thereafter the capthin wore his life belt. captain Italian Ambassador fellers appear ed on fieck in a gray soft felt knock down hat While President and Mrs. Wilson one day were on deck talking with the press correspondents, Ambassa dor Jusserand came up. There fol th® following bit of repartee: ’ You should have seen the moving Pictures last night, Mr. President,’’ M. Jusserand. “They were very .fine. The story was built around a near-beer called ‘Vevo.’ You know •Vevo,’ La France,” added the am bassador smiling. “Oh, yes, ‘Bevo L’American!’ ’’ re joined the president, at which there was general laughter. Through the efforts of Admiral Grayson, President Wilson’s cold rapidly improved. He went to the movies frequently. Ambassador Jusserand is a believer in preparedness. He carried a small French volume in his life coat pocket to afford him reading material if by any chance he’s forced to “take to the boats.” During an informal chat on deck. President Wilson told the following story: “One time during the Civil war President Lincoln was sending a messenger to Jefferson Davis. Presi dent Lincoln ha’d very laboriously explained the details of what he wished the messenger to convey to the Confederate. At the conclusion, the messenger, readj’ for departure, asked: ‘Are there any instructions?' “Whereupon President Lincoln, somewhat wearily, responded: “ ‘None, except as I am reminded of a storv of a little girl neighbor back in Springfield, 111., who played with letter blocks in her bed at night. One night she became very ®leepv before she said her pravers. so kneeling down, she said: “Dear Lord, T am too sleepy tonight to say mv nrayers. There are the blocks. Spell it out for yourself.” *’’ Saturday we got the side lines of a real storm. The waves were high and there was a marked falling off in attendance at deck promenades.

Upon leaving the conference Ambas sador White said: “I am In complete accord with the president’s views.” The president attended a show given by the crew. The "First Night’ was reviewed privately for ex purgating purposes before the pas sengers of state got their glimpse of it. The orchestra aboard was made up of pavy men. many of whom enlisted for Uncle Sam from the Chicago and Philadelphia Symphony orchestras Their playing did much to soothe troubled innards or stormy days and prevent meals from hoisting anchor.
