Ol it COAST DKIKVSi Tlu' fortifications appropriation bill reported lo tho House- semi's to guar antee thut one branch of prepared ness, nt least, that of coast defense, ls to be takvn cure off. Our coast de tenaos have been declared by experts to need far less improvement (han tile army or navy. Their deficiencies ure few and obvious. It ls chiefly a iiuestton of big guns -14-inch and lC-incli pieces able to shool from 17 to lil milt's-to protect our most Important harbors. Willi them, of course, there must he provid ed anti-aircraft guns, submarine minos und big reserves of ammuni tion. Tile most novel item of th IK hill ls mi appropriation to purchase tho wonderful invention of John Hays I lammond. Jr., which directs and ex ploder torpedoes by radio control. The plan calls for the expenditure of SS'J.OOO.OOO over a iour-yuiir period. Por next yeur there ls to be ?pent S22.O0O.O0O, which Js $10,000.000 wore Ulan Inst year's appropriation. lt isn't too much to pay for thc protec tion gained. If any additional money can be afforded, the public would like to see the government provide a few movable guns, nf the type mad'' faiv.il ior in the European war. capable of being transported by motor or rail to any exposed point -dong the coast. AHISTOt HATH WAR MKI.IKF ? ? i i ('hurlly ls ordinarily rtgurded as a democratic virtue, even though Ameri can millionaires huvo been giving it a certain exclusiveness under the top lofty term of "philanthropy." Wur charities have beon especially demo cratic. Itellef funds for wur-devas tated countries have appealed to the pockets of .the poor as well aa tho rich, and received u penny us grate fully as a chock for a thousand dol lars. Dut now war relief is to bc raised nbovo the level of the vulgar crowd, it is to bo made aristocratic, and even royal. Mrs. Cornelius Vuudorbilt lins conceived a plan worthy of the weal thy leader of New York Boclety. She is raising a fund of $300,000 on con ditions thal make the contributor? a close corporation. Tho gifts are to consist of $10,000 each. Thus there are te be only thirty givers. Mrs. vanderbutit ls reported to he careful ly distributing her $10.000 Invitations among personal friends who. hy their sozial standing, are rendered ellglblo and worthy of such honor. And honor there will bo-plenty of it. For the money ts not to be turned Into any common relief fund, lt is to bo'given Into thc hands of royalty. A personal representative of tho excln btve thirty, perhaps Mrs. Vanderbilt herself, is to go to Europe and for mally present the money. In equal portions, to the queen of England, the czarina of Uuslm und the president of Franco. The gift is to bo In gold. And- here comea, the masterpiece of cxeliuivonoBB- -each nuenn ls to re ceive a "Hook of Cold." after thc matiu?? u? auVivni roys? ????U?UUS, containing tho name of each of the 810,000 benefactors of huamnlty. And if they pull off that stunt, the test of tho people In tho United States, ought to chip In a dime apiece, und present tho resulting $10.000,000 to the queen of the Belgians-without any "Book of Silver" monkoy busi ness, either-as evidence that America ls still a democracy. WOMEN AND TOBACCO A secret of tho ages has been di vulged by Dr. Albert H. Burr ot Chica go, who in p. paper printed in the Il linois Medical Journal malatains that wemen live longrr than men, and that the reason le, they do not use tobacco. Dr. Burr nays that ^ho female, though outnumbered at birth and by Immigration,, reaches qld'age in far greater numbers, th n a ?he malo; that this disparity is due to cerraiu ex Mnain MIIMIB capable of inducing cardie-vascular presen il tty, to which toxins the malo is obviously more prone than the female; that the nic otine habit answers every sp?cifica tion of a cardiovascular toda, and is, therefore, one of ?ho very significant reasons why fewer men'than women attain old age, We are .told that the cigarette habit la growing among women. Fortunate ly, thia habit has not yet entrenched itself io any extent among the women o.f xour etty. Yet let us utte a 'timely warning, ts thess ?5??95 wih> af? uf ginning to look, upon the cigarette with toleration because they think it th favor among the .-women . of the Smart Set. , (According to Dr. Burr's theory, it you. adopt the masculine custom ot filling your syBtem with nicotine, you will dio off aa fas*, aa tho men do. and thus will you loee your feminine priv ilege ot haytat the Ia?t /word!
