The PRESIDENT meant You when he said: "The position of America in the war is so clearly THE OUTLOOK is prepared to place in the "The President to the People" ΤΗ HE work is not only of vital, timely interest, but well worthy of being preserved for your grandchildren. It contains extracts from the most important public utterances of President Wilson from the momentous day when he addressed a joint session of Congress on April 2, 1917, and urged American acceptance of the challenge of Imperialism, down to and including his address to Congress on January 8, 1918, in which he defined the terms which this Government would be willing to consider as a basis for peace. Among these extracts are— Apropos of the recent observance of Washington's Birthday, a subscriber writes: "My grandmother, Margaret Hill Hilles. retained her keen memory of early events for practically all of her ninety-six years, and she could clearly tell her great-grandchildren of her meeting President Washington in Philadelphia. She was then a lass but six years old. She was sitting on the front steps of her grandmother Morris's house (on the south side of Walnut, just above Fourth Street) with her little cousin Martha Morris, two years younger. Washington, then President, came down the street with his staff and stopped in front of the two children. Addressing the older, he said, "Well, my little lassie, how is your grandmother to-day? And what makes your cheeks so red?" Answering the last question first, the little girl smiled and said, brightly, "Mush and milk, sir." The President shook hands with her and took her cousin in his arms and kissed her; then said to Margaret, "Give my love to your grandmother." Mrs. Hilles was a member of the Society of Friends. She survived until the year 1882. The buffalo bull that tried to stop the first transcontinental train might turn in his grave and laugh at this item from the "Railway Age:""At a highway crossing in West Peabody, Massachusetts, a local passenger train was thrown off the track by an automobile freight truck, the locomotive being overturned." Thus the industrial "tank" proved its superiority in bucking power to the locomotive. The railway and the automobile owners in this case brought suits against each other for damages. The railway won; it has just secured a verdict against the truck owners. A photographic invention developed since the war may possibly prove of use in sending photographs by carrier pigeon or for other purposes where extreme lightness is desired. It consists of a Japan tissue paper coated with a rapid emulsion for making enlargements. Heretofore, as explained in an article in the "Scientific American," the use of such paper has not been practicable owing to the durability of the fiber being affected by the chemicals used. In the new process, however, the paper remains so tough that the photograph "may be wet and crumpled like a wash-rag and yet restored to perfect condition." For storing the enormous number of photographic war records which are being made the new process may prove valuable. The hobo wood-chopper or wood-sawyer has disappeared, according to the Brooklyn "Eagle," with the advent of good times and work for all. "He has been pronounced as extinct," says the "Eagle," as the oog bird, the dinosaur, and the Irish elk. Even the hybrid species that deserted his job, leaving on the wood-pile the legend, 99 66 ish By the Way (Continued) the veritable lodgings army to occupy of St. Peter would seem to bring it as near to early Christianity as we in America are brought to our Revolution by the houses "where Washington slept." Unfortunately, the authorities that Simon the Tanner's say house long ago disappeared, and that even its site is in dispute. The new 66 conductorettes" of the New York City street cars have their troubles. For one thing, ungallant boys try to "steal rices." In one such case, while the car was passing through a section not far from "Hell's Kitchen," several good-sized hoodlums treated the woman conductor's efforts to push them off the car merely as a joke. Not till an elderly gentleman armed with a cane went to the conductorette's assistance did the young ruffians retreat. The Boy Scout movement might help, if it could get a lodgment in that region. The New York "Evening Post" has an enviable reputation for correct typography. Its huge Saturday edition, however, necessitates "rush" work, which probably accounts for two peculiarities in a recent issue. A headline reads: BILL TO PROTECT TEACHERS FROM ARBITRARY DISMISSA The final L "wouldn't come in," and the compositor calmly left it out rather than get the word changed. On page 13 a headfine reads "More New Colonels," etc., with the explanation, "Continued from Last Page" (page 14). To have to turn to a preceding page for the continuation of an article is certainly confusing. Answering the question, "What do you know about Marseilles?" an English schoolboy wrote, as reported in the London "Morning Post:" "It is the place where pianos stop." The instructor had informed the class that Marseilles was the stopping-place of the Peninsular and Oriental Steamship Line, commonly known as the " P. and O." The price of a loaf of bread has so greatly increased that in some places in. New York City the loaf is cut into pieces and sold by the pound. A huge loaf of solid rye bread, displayed in an East Side shop, was made the subject of inquiry by a prospective purchaser. "How much is that loaf?" was asked. "The whole loaf?" "Yes." "Vell, it is eight cents a pound. I weigh him. So! it weigh seven pounds. Just fifty-six cent. You don't want the whole loaf? Vell, I cut him and gif you one pound or two pound." The Red Cross wishes to make it known, as widely as possible, that the report that used postage stamps have any value through the extraction of the dyes contained in them is absolutely false. This false report has already resulted in the receipt by the PostOffice Department of many stamps collected by misguided patriots who sought thus to do something to help win the war. Electra, the unhappy daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, was the sub YOUR PROPERTY and Sophocles. In Miss Anglin's recent performance of the play at Carnegie Hall in New York City she elected to present the version by Sophocles, without realizing that The Outlook, in its review of the performance in its issue of February 20, would speak of her as presenting Euripides' play. We cannot even plead ignorance. Our apologies for the slip are due both to Miss Anglin and to Sophocles-though possibly the magnanimous shade of that playwright might not be displeased at having his work attributed to his great contemporary.
