POLITICS NOW, SHE SAYS
"MY RELIGION," SAYS ONE
"People In general don't know what
milk li, and that'i why they don't use
' more of it.'
Prof. E. V. McCollum, hygiene ex-
pert from Johns Hopkins, who was In
the City' for a short time in connec
tion with the cattle breeders conven
tion, made this statement. Prof. Me-
Opium's researches In the field of dairy
products have revolutionized the atti
tude of scientists toward the so-called
protective foods.
"In the poor sections of our cities,
where many of the people are suffering
from tuberculosis, and where the school
children are slowly dying of malnutri
tion, they use milk least of all," he
Oald. "The. buy a pint of milk a day,
these families, and then use most of it
in their coffee. They buy other foods
which cost just as much and do less
than ops-fourth the good. This is par
ticularly true of the foreign popula
tion." "The milk dealers are Interested In
only the sale of milk, but they don't
know what a gold mine it Is," salt G.
Watson French, wealthy breeder from
Iowa. "If they knew anything about
the milk they sold, they'd pass on what
they know to the consumers. And then
they'd sell more milk."
To Spnd Million on Education
"We're going to spend a million dol
lars In the next year just to tell folks
that this drink 'they've been sipping at
since the first dairymaid, Mother Eve,
milked the first bossy in the Garden of
Eden, Is some food as well as some
drink!" said D. D. Altken, of Flint.
Mich, who is. president of the Holsteln
Friesian Association of America.
"Milk Is my religion." said S. M.
Jelly, record-cattle breeder from
Chicago.
And the United States Department of
AgricultoVe, by way of beginning to
inform people, has just Usued a cir
cular of milk definition. It is the ABC
in the study of milk.
For those who don't know, and there
are many, according to the opinion of
breeders, milk is defined in the cir
cular as "the whole, 'fresh, clean, lac
teal secretion obtained by the complete
milking of one or more healthy cows,
properly fed and kept.'''
Pasteurized milk is milk that has
been subjected to a temperature not
lower than 145 degree Fahrenheit for
not less than thirty minutes. And Jt
ought to be bottled hot.
And There Are Other Kinds
Skimmed milk is milk from which
substantially all the milk' fat has been
removed. It is the best kind of, milk
lor babies.
Buttermilk Is cynical milk. It is
what is left .when the fat is removed
'from the sour or sweet milk or cream
by churning.
Cream is milk with a college edu
cation. It is that portion which rises
to the surface of milk if it is left stand
I ing. It can be separated from mlllf by
centrifugal force. It contains not less
than 18 per cent of fats. Milk aver
ages about 3 per cent of fats.
Whipping cream is,rream which con
tains not less than 3D per cent of fats,
and, properly treated, goes well on
strawberry shortcake.
DINES ON LOCUSTS
"Fine! Just Like Shrimp," Professor
Says After Meal
Baltimore, .Tune 0. Ethan Allen
Andrews, protcssor oi zoology at Johns
Hopkins University, has followed his
own advice by eating locusts.
"Fine, just like shrimp," was his
verdict. "If there were a scarcity of
other food, nersoni who had tasted them
would probably think nothing of eating
thera in large quantities."
He and others workinc with him in
the study of the" habits and flavor of
the pests are convinced that by eating
the locusts us fist as they appear this
generation would be doing the right.
tmng v jiuaitnt... uv liD urn um uxi,
.Others equally brave have ventured to
nelp in tne Bame way.
What has Interfered with the con
sumption has been the discovery that
the locusts are not tn the best of health.
Many have been found suffering with a
fungus trouble. After seventeen years
underground, many are sllgntly moldy.
This mold, spreading from the tail for
ward, will kill many of the insects. But
Professor Andrews fears that it will not
eause dcatn soon enough to prevent the
laying of eggs and the propagation of
tho next generation, seventeen years
bencc.

Du Pont Faction Puts Over Ticket In
City Election ,
.Wilmington, Del., June 0. The Al
fred I', du Pont faction of the Republi
can party gained its second big political
victory here on Saturday, when the city
elections resulted In putting over the
entire Republican ticket, with the ex
ception of five members of the City
Council. Four of, those five came from
watds where a Democratic majority has
always been assured.
The result was a surprise. After the
bitter pre-election fight, a close result
f was expected by leaders of both sides.
, Few Republicans claimed the city for
'). Taylor by more than 500 votes, while
' the Democrats expected a majority of
-, a thousand for Lawson. Taylor's ma
..' jority was 1033. t
The Democrats gained a victory In
i"rthe Twelfth Ward, where Murray At
Lfeated the Republican candidate, Wll

jR makes a representation of five Demo
crats In the new Council over four in

"W
Daughter of Ex-President Has
Heard Talk Since She Wtas a
Child, but Never Sought
Career
Will Devote All of Her Time to
Filling Place of Doctor
Thomas as Head of Bryn
Mawr
Political aspirations will not dis
tract the attention of Miss Helen Taft,
daughter of former President William
II. Taft, from her duties as acting
president of Bryn Mawr College next
year during the absence abroad of Dr.
M. Carey Thomas.
Miss Taft, who is twenty-eight year
old, Is probably the youngest woman
ever chosen in this country to occupy
the position of president of an Im
portant woman's college, even though
her office will continue for only next
year.
In appearance Miss Taft resembles
her mother more than her father, and
juherits more of her mother's general
characteristics. She has a wide, high
forehead and frank, open, eyes which
even hearty laughter does not close.
Mr. Taft says: "Though young, my-
daughter has, poise," and this descrip
tion fits her admirably. She Is quiet,
reserved and very earnest, but with a
sense of humor.
Many stories are told of the despera
tion of her acquaintances to gef her
to enter into conversation on formal
occasions. Miss Taft is a woman who
does iiot believe In chatter and hates
most of all to talk about herself and
her illustrious father. She has learned
the art of listening gracefully.
In spite of the fact that Miss Taft
does not volunteer information about
her father, mention of bis name never
fails to bring an appreciative smile to
her, face,. Tell -her a joks about her
father, or mention his gurgly laugh and
her eyes will open wide and. she will
break forth into peals of hearty laughter
which will remind you at qnce that, al
though she may be a very serious act
ing president of Bryn Mawr, she has
not lost an claims to ugnt-nearted
youth.
"I have heard politics since I was a
child and I have always been interest
ed," says Miss Taft. but T never
thought of politics as a. career."
The field of education has claimed
Miss Taft since she entered college. She
was never tempted to forsake her edu
cation for the social life of Washing
ton, although she spent one year away
from Bryn Mawr to help her mother in
White-House entertaining.
If her appointment ns acting head
of Bryn Mawr College is unusual, Miss
Taft also is unusual and combines a
smiling, friendly manner with a serious
dienitr.
She prefers not to talk of whatever
theories she may have as. to her new
resnonsibilities, particularly so early.
"It is not easy to take Miss Thomas s
plac, and I really would rather not
talk about the new office." she said
today. "You know, Miss Thomas has
been president of Bryn Mawr for thirty -
three years.
"When Miss Thomas returns the end
of next year, I expect to go abroad to
finish the study for my doctor's de
gree," Miss Taft remarked, In talking
of her future plans.
"And then I shall come back to
Bryn Mawr if they still want-me,"
she added smilingly.
Within a short time Miss Taft will
leave for her vacation. Provided pass
ports arrive, the holiday will bo spent
in Europe. Mtbs Tatt will return
shortly before the reopening of college
next September,
The low salaries which are paid to
teachers are only partly responsible for
kH&A . M &LM&T
KAISER NOT GUILTY,
BERNHARDT VERDICT
DEAN HELEN H. TAFT
the decrease in the number of Bryn
Mawr graduates who turn to teaching
as a profession, according to the new
acting president.
"The first reason is low salaries, but
it is not the only reason." she said.
"There are so many new fields opening
for' women, and college women, too,
are in demand for business nositions.
This Is especially true for secretarial
work."

FIND LEAKY POWDER KEGS
Mine Chief Admits Defects May Have

Only Fault Was In Not Starting
War Before Foes Were
Prepared
Berlin, May 17. Correspondence of
the A. P.) General Friedrlch A. J. von
uernhardl, the military writer, under
the title "Kaiser Wilhelm and responsi
bility for the war," declares that the
former emperor's only guilt was In not
beginning the war early enough when
his opponents were not equipped and
takes the viewpoint in favor of pre
ventive warfare.
He says of the kaiser : "To the last
moment he believed Russia would sur
render its Inimical Intentions and Eng
land would not take part in the fight-

General von Bernhardi admits, how

enced the kaiser's assumption of the
gantlet.

cording to a story told the police yes
terday by Chnrle H. Boyer, colored
chauffeur for Williams.
Tne car wag running down Atlantic
avenue, with Boyer driving, nnd the
dog was seated beside him. Between
Kentucky and Illinois avenues the girl
ran from the sidewalk into the street
just, says Boyer, ns the dog reached
up and licked his face. His view was
obscured by the dog's body. Boyer says,
and he did not see the girl's danger
until it was too late to stop the ma
chine, which ran over the child. She
died soon after in the C'itv Hospital.
Boyer. after taking the child to the
hospital, disappeared. He was arrested
this morning. At first a charge of
manslaughter was preferred against
him, but he is rfow held without bail
pending the result of the coroner's in
quest. WOUNDED CZECHS AT N. Y.
Organization of new shipping and
shipbuilding companies took a consid
bin spurt in May when twenty con
cerns were incorporated with a com
hlncd authorized capitalization of $17,
200,000. This compares with eight
companies started in Anril with an
2?.KIS5ate authorized capitalization of
$2,400,000, and stands as the largest
total recorded since September of last
5'car. The proportions of new enter
