"DEFIANCE" ITS NAME il Cup defender will have strong name 1. and will cost a heap of money. t Defiance will be the name of the new b Tri-City Cup yacht ordered for the de- v fensc of the America's Cup next summer by a syndicate of New York, Phila- t delphia and Boston members of the i New York Yacht Club. The name was \ officially recorded with the club yeater- c day. 1 It was decided upon at a meeting of 1 the members of the syndicate held at the Waldorf-Astoria. George M. Pyn- t ehon suggested the name after many ) Others had been considered, and it was | adopted unanimously. Yachtsmen, un- 1 like other sailors, will not admist super- < atition, but there was a sigh of relief | when the name had been approved and ■ it was noted that it contained eight i letters. Every cup defender since the Vigilant i has had a name with eight letters, and there is a certain sentiment about it. The Vigilant, Defender, Columbia and Reliance all came under the numerical "hunch.' The old Columbia of 1871 and the Mischief did as well. There arc I

eight letters in Shamrock, hut the nu- < merical addition of Shamrock IV. is < looked upon as a hoodoo. Mr. Pynchon was chosen managing ' owner of the Defiance, and E. Walter ■ Clark of "Philadelphia treasurer of the 1 syndicate. This is the yacht that will > be builf at the Bath Iron Works at < Bath, Me., from designs by George ^ Owen. NEW TAXING PLAN NEEDED The Democratic majority in the House of Assembly has decided to appoint a Committee on Taxes and such a committee should be able to accomplish a world of good. Our present system puts the cart before the horse in almost every detail. The Cape May County Board of -Taxation a year or- two ago. presented a plan for altering all this which was eminently practical and which ahould hare been made into law. Senator When ton and Assemblyman Stevens will be doing valuable service by presenting this plan for consideration in both Senate and House in the form of a_ bill and give the members of the Tax Board an opportunity to explain Its features fully to the appropriate committees. It is the method of handling the matter of taxation, rather than the items assessed, which needs revision. Mother Gray's Sweet Powders for Children for

Y. 1-S-St « THE WISCONSIN IDEA Some effective method of reaching boys and girls who leave school at the j end of the elementary grade and inter- ] sating them in the development of , their powers has long been a problem with educators. Manifestly any person whose term in the schools has been limited to the brief period between the agee of « and 12 or 18 years is poorly equipped in either knowledge or. men- } tal drill for the aeriooa business of Ufa Moreover, much genius must lie buried and many a mind He dormant V

— Pi the opportunity for acquisition of learning is no' properly presented to the youth of the land after they have >K been forced into the ranks of bread- £ winners. .. It is the effort to bridge this gap ^ that has given the educational movement conducted by the University of J Wisconsin the appellation of . the "Wis- * .consin Idea." That Western institu- P' tion is seeking to carry its store of P knowledge to all the people Extension of university knowledge 8 to those beyond college walls is not a u Wisconsin idea. As far as it has been * prosecuted in the United States it is a Pennsylvania idea and its impulse* came "from "Dr. William Pepper, former P provost of the University of Pennsylvania. and by that notra} publicist and . educator was launched in this "State The extension courses are still being T conducted with great success. \Tl.c . 1 •'Wisconsin Idea," however, go-s i farther, in that it includes instruction f , in many practical branches, in addition I to lectures on the arte and sciences. ! ' Under the direction of Dr. Char.-s . Van Hisc. the Universitv of Wis- c of

consin, of which he is the head, has organized classes in stores, factories, _ shops and in the farming sections je where what is known as "continuation | education" is imparted by members I of tlic faculty. In addition an extend-) ed correspondence course is conduct -d j ijwd in various ways knowledge is dir- . j i lusei! to im'i" iduals mid co'lective j . groups. I But the "Wisconsin Idea" does net j end with this effort to carry special j instruction to those beyond its campus. ! It serves the Commonwealth by giving j 1 expert help in framing laws. The | fundamental though^ is that if there is j 1 as great knowledge of government at 1 s the Capitol as on the Supreme Bench 1 ' laws that will stand the test of attack j 1 ' will be passed by the Legislature. This i * bulwark against successful appear 1 from acts demanded by the people is : I erected by the employment of legal ; ' talent that commands respect in fram- j ' ing all hills and eorrectig faulty phrase- ; ology as the measures are amended by II the legislators. ' In short, the '"Wisconsin Idea" is " that no State not founded upon an in- j telligent electorate can long endure as ! a free commonwealth ; that it is the n business of every institut ion of learn - ing to diffuse its knowledge among all the people, and that the State shbuld , stand behind such work. — Philadelphia I

EDISON DISCHARGED BY A RAILWAY CONDUCTOR t In the January Woman's Home Companion a contributor names ten great > men of our tune and gives many interesting facts about them. Among these, of course, is Thomas A. Edison who is - briefly described as foUowe: "Thomas Edison is one of the greatest inventive mechanical geniuses who ever Ured. His life story is outwardly un- ' ! eventful. He was born in Ohio in 1847, 1 ( | and at twelve became a trainbpy ; he., j took advantage of an empty express : room in a car and printed a little news- , I paper called 'The Grand Trunk Herald,' j ' and also carried on cheteiesl . and; dec- | ! trical experiments there. These came I to an end when he set fire to the car j accidentally, and was dismissed by the | angry conductor. | He learned telegraphy and practiced J it in several cities, coming after a time to New York. There he invented a j printing telegraph machine, known as | the ticker,' to record stock quotations. | This brought him in forty thousand dol- • lars and enabled him to set up his fa- ! mouB laboratory in New Jersey, j "His first really great invention was j the quadruple! telegraph, which makes it possible to send four messages over one wire at the same time. Next came the carbon transmitter. Edison's third great work was the discovery of the carbon filament for the incandescent light, and his next the phonograph, which has developed into extended and various use. His work on the cinematograph has brought moving picture into & conspicuous place not only . for amusement but for education." ! DIRTY PEOPLE MAKE DIRTY TOWNS j "Dirty people and Dirty Towns," is 1 a subject handled with gloves by Dr. J. N. Hurty, State Health Commissioner, in n. 1 1 U 1 1 V , OWW UWbU wmmwotvjiv,, .

an article prepared today for the United ( j ] "The. reason we have so many dirty towns is because there are so many dirty people," said Dr. Hurty. "Shall the dirty people be compelled by law to be clean! - No indeed, not unless their dirtiness , threatens the healt^i and comfort Of others. The Scripture says: "He who is filthy let him be filthy still.' Of course what is the use to do otherwise. Compelling he who is filthy to be clean in person and premises will not make him clean in mind and soul. Hell be filthy still. We must teach cleanliness to the unclean. Then if they become clean and i stay clean, it is because cleanliness is their nature. » "The town is a mirror. It reflects the j people. A man who is clean in mind will j be clean in person. He will have a clean front yard and a clean back yard. A littered dooryard and a dilapidated house reflects a littered and dilapidated mind. - '"The reason we cannot make a silk out of a sow's ear is because it is a sow's ear. It is not silk. A i^aturally I dirty man can not be made a clean man. Dirty towns will exist as long as the dirty .people exist. We must start our people exist. >> e must »u»i i uui

VALUE OF WASTE 1 i It will be a surprise to some to j ! know that there is a National Associa- " ; tion of Waste Material Dealers and 1 that dealers in waste materials in this ' country have invested in their busi1 j ness not less • than 8700,000,000. According to the president of the associacording to tne presiaent oi me associa-

tion, greater results have been obtained from the saving of waste materials in this country, materials not long ago considered useless, than from the , Irrigation of barren "ands. These conversationists of the dump heaps find valuable spoils in rubber, metals, paper Btock, cotton and woolcc rags and scrap iron. More than 82,000 B00 worth of old rags were exported from the United States last year and manufactured by foreign mills into the eloth known as 'shoddy.' Old tin cans and scrap iron furnished 8114.000,000 worth of material reconverted into articles of manufacture. — Elizabeth Journal.
