"Gold thimbles." said the Jeweler, "are
rarely to be seen nowadays. Time was
when every young woman had one. They
were a regulation birthday or Christmas
present. But the young American girl of
to-day would be disgusted with the gift
of a gold thimble. She would much rather
have one of those long, red .automobiles
or e good saddle horse. The word thimble
In the past was thumble. It was worn,
you know, on the thumb." — Philadelphia

It Is not apparent why so many men resorted
to this method of separating from the service,
a«d if the depressing result could In any way
be attributed to American methods it would
certainly justify the deepest solicitude on the
part of all concerned In the'milltary admin
istration qf the army. As a matter of faet,
however, the American soldier I? so well pro
vided for in respect to all his material neces
sities and his personal appearance and is to
carefully safeguarded in respect to all matters
of dis<Hp!ln« that a conclusion arises spon
taneously in the minds of experienced investi
gators to the effect that desertion, to a large
extent, la incidental to human nature, rather
than an excresrlon of npeclflc defects in the
military system and as tuch is not within the
scope of ordinary methods of control.
In the light of paat experience and conditions
it p*ems apparent that the United States as a
nation must accept desertion as a necessary
evil until enlightened public opinion can be In
duced to believe that it not only affects the
army as an organization, but. In remote con
sequences, is a menace to the stability of our
institutions through its corrupting effect upon
the military ideajs of the population that must
fuxnleh the forces upon which the republic
tnust always rely in time of war.
One thousand three hundred and forty-three
men deserted during th« fiscal year. Of this
number ¥14. were lrom the garrisons of the
department and represented approximately
19.42 per cent of the main strength therco' for
the year. The remaining 430 were from re
cruits, casuals and regiments x>asslng to and
from the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.— General Mac-
Arthur, commanding the Department of
California, in his annual report says the
importance of an artillery reserve for the
Pacific Coast cannot be overestimated and
recommends that' the entire organized
militia of all arms located within easy
distance of San Francisco be invited to
participate In a course of coast artillery
training at the Presidio. He has the fol
lowing to say on desertions:
The faculty committee on students' af
fairs has not yet discussed the rush, but
wlien It docs something surprising will
happen. The committee has. the names
of many of the students who participated
in the free fight, furnished by Professor
Charles A. Noble, who was present.' Pro
fessor C. L. Cory, chairman of the com
mittee, refused to discuss the affair to
day, saying merely: -J" 7
"There will be an investigation into the
conduct of the students yesterday, but
no action. will be taken until the students'
affairs committee meets."
President Wheeler also refused to. dis
cuss the situation, on the ground that it
is the duty of the, students' affairs com
mittee to investigate all such matters.
It Is hard to conceive of any one, particu
larly a university man, using acid among a
crowd of men, but it seems there is such a
person. I was guarding the ballot box at ths
time It happened. As the sophomores closed
in on us I happened to look up a moment and
Juet then the acid fell Into my eye.
Some of the «ophomores actwi like ruffians.
They didn't seem to know any bounds. Why,
three of them caught a freshman named
Kerns and I yesterday morning in North Hail
and beat us severely. They left Kerns in a
bad plight. They would have tied us up only
there was not rope to be had. •
The chances of Frank C. Mclnncs of
Vallejo, the young freshman whose eye
was injured in the sophomore-freshman
rush yesterday at the University of Cali
fornia, losing cr retaining the sight of the
injured member are about even. Dr. E.
J. Boycs of Oakland, the specialist to
whom he was taken, told his patient to
day that he would be unable to Bay
whether he could save the Injured eye un
til the bandages are removed, in a day or
so. Mclnnes had a very narrow escape
from having his entire eye burned out.
Just a little more and he would have re
ceived the whole dose In that delicate
member. As it happened, only a drop en
tered the eye, and even this was ailutcd
by the water with which he quickly
bathed it. Mclnnes said to-day:
If I hadn't dashed water Into my eye right
away I would have been blind. That was all
that saved me. I havn'e been able to find out
yet what kind of acid It was and the doctors
are. not sure, though all the symptom*! point
to vitriol.

Bo this day Is one of grateful commemora
tion rather than of sad -lament, this hour an
hour of consjlatlon rather than of grief. Grief
at our profound bereavement we Indeed have,
for we have actually lost the converse of our
admirable and revered brother, and long as he
had been here, we yet feel as though we had
lcet him too soon, so intact did he still appear,
both In body and in mind, so stable In a quiet
maturity that kept its powers of Judgment
and even of acquisition quite unlmpared.
Professor William C. Merrill in hla
eulogy said that "Dr. Kellogg: was a Ro
man," for his nature, being sympathetic
with Roman ideals, his character was
profoundly affected by his intellectual
contact with the works of that great peo
ple, which in turn had affected the con
duct of his whole life. Professor Willard
B. Rising read the biography of Dr. Kel
logg's life and Columbus Bartlett's tribute
waa delivered by his eon, Louis de Fonte
nay Bartlett. A quartet, consisting tJT
Charles Elston, Howard Merrill, "Walter
de Leon and Melvln G. Jeffries, rendered
two songs.
DAY OF COMMEMORATION.
Tor thres and thirty years he had been our
devoted servant. In these hours of commem
oration, to be sure, we must not and cannot
forget the part played by a projmlnent asso
ciate of Professor Kellogg in the California
college. Dr. Horatio Stebbins, the last presi
dent of the board of trustees, without whose
planning, wisdom and public skill the accep
tance of the proposals made by the trustees
would probably not have been gained from
the State. But Professor Kellogg was our
founder in a yet more intimate and still
deeper sens>. It was in his person first that
the great, the vital principle of comprehensive
humane culture, essential as the organizing:
factor in the life of the institution, paaaed
forward from the narrower field It held in
the college into the vastly enlarged ono
afforded by the university. Fortunate was It
for him, fortunate for us, his successors, mofct
fortunate for the State and Its coming genera
tions of youth, that hla two eminent col
leagues, John and Joseph Le Conte, though
appointed to represent the sciences of nature,
were both men of genuine and disciplined love
of man. •¦
The exercises began at 3 o'clock, just
after the faculty had marched in a body
into Hearst Hall from the apartments be
low and taken peats on and about the
platform. President Wheeler presided and
introduced the speakers after delivering
a brief eulogy of the dead. The com
memorative address wa3 delivered by
Professor George Holmes Howison, who
said in part:
We ere once more essrmbled after what
eeeme, indeed, but a Bhort surcease of sor
row, to give expression to our «?nn« of a\ great
lose— a bereavement of the university and the
community alike. It Is only a brief two years
since we gathered here to honor the memory
of Joseph Le Conte, and now we are sum
moned, too eoon for our wishes, to note the
passing and commemorate the services of Mar
tin Kelk'Ks:. the lalt of the three bright
tpirits to whom the wiee Judgment of our first
board of regents committed the serious tasK
of inaugurating the internal life of the uni
versity.
The gathering was peculiarly represen
tative. There were men from every sta
tion In life, but notably two, who were
associate and student, respectively, with
Dr. Kellogg when he began his career in
California nearly fifty years ago. These
men were the Rev. Samuel \\\ Willty of
San FranciBco, one of the founders of the
College of California and the first execu
tive officer of the greater university, and
Benjamin Tracey of Sacramento, with
one exception the earliest graduate of the
university. But there were many more
old friends of the deceased educator pres
ent, among them Warring Wilkinson of
the State Deaf and Blind Asylum; J. B.
McChesney, Judge John Garber, the Rev.
F. S. Hosmer and the Rev. J. K. McLean.
Besides these well known peop'.e there
was present almost the entire faculty
of the university in cap and gown.
DR. SOWISON SPEAKS.
Friends who revered him through long
years of association, and friends, not so
old, but cheriphing him for his kind per
sonality and good works, made up the
congregation that"" to-day gathered at
Hearst Hall to attend the memorial exer
cises in honor of the late Dr. Martin Kel
logg, once president of the University of
California.

The handsome new home cf the San
Mateo Athletic Club was fittingly dedi
cated last night to athletics. Member?
of the Olympic Club took a prominent
part in th« exercises. A large delegation
of its best wrestlers, boxers and gymnasts
cave interesting exhibitions. The crowd
which tilled the spacious gymnasium
grew enthusiastic over the clever work.
President F. P. Howard of the new in
stitution opened the evening's entertain
ment with a short addrcs3. In the course
of his remarks he thanked the Olympic
<."lub for Its assistance. He said the San
Mateo Athletic Ciub had struggled for
what it had accomplished. By small be
ginnings and slow progress njjalnst grea.:
obstaclcs a few men cf determined princi
ples had brought the club to its prosant
condition. It was. proposed to i?sue bonds
for the purpose of making further im
provements, such as instituting handball
nl>>s, tennis courts and other Maoris, tie
took occasion to thank the reaiacnt.s for
their help and contributions. He then ln
ttoduced William Urear Harrison, presi
dent of the Olympic Ciub. who expressed
his Joy at seeing an athletic club in Sa:i
Mateo, He advised tho members no: to
go into debt by issuing bonds, but sug
gested that a committee of laxlios be ap
pointed to secure contributions from the
wealthy residents of the county. Mr.
Harrison also took occasion to lecture the
fair sex on their health.
The wrestling bouts ¦were extremely In
teresting. Cornell and Phillips prese'itJ
a realistic contest and the fair sex be
came nervous, fearing the pair might in
jure themselves.
The Press Club quartet, composed of
A. E. McMillan, R. E. Kecnc, R. H
Hunt and G., R. King, scored a hit with
selections. Schlitter and Cornell on the
Roman rlng3 won many plaudits. Misa
Choridah Simpson, the well known singer,
received hearty app^aur.e and many en
cores for her sweet sthging. Members of
the Olympic Club under the direction of
Robert Leando swung fire clubs with
skill. The boxing bouts were fast and in
teresting. Leonard and Cairns; Murry
and Altken and Sam Berber and Jimmy
Britt put up fast exhibitions. R. H. Hunt
sang himrelf into favor. There were pyr
emids by Olympic Club men and a clever
Dutch act by Moriarlty and Penaiuna.
The programme was under the direc
tion of Captain D. W. Donnelly. John J.

assisted. The officers of the new club are

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-\Vorking in ex
jjeriments together. Dr. George P. Kunz,
honorary curator of the American Mu
seum of Natural History, and Dr. Charles
BaskcrvlUe of. the University of North
Carolina believe they have made a val
uable discovery in connection with the
mysterious substance known as radium.
This discovery . is that by mixing ra
dium with natural ~-.liemite, pulverized,
the activity and power of the former sub
.stance are multiplied a hundred fold and
probably (no instrument has been devised
ior im-usunngr the increase ol activity} a
thousand ro!d. That, at least, is the tem
poiary «.u«.ct of the mixing of the two
substances. Time must tell whether one
will i-uIHfi- the other.
YVillemite is a comparatively cheap sili
cate of zinc. It is possible also that
thrre is in wi'.lemitc a sutstance which
Is «s yet unrecognized as> a distinct ele
ment < hut v.inch produces. the radio ac
t vit>" tf -.t has awakened the enthusiasm
of the two expel imenters, but thus far it
is taken for wanted that the one sub
stance merely stimulates the activity of
the other.

b \ j ample of vigorous and skillful brush work, but a fine bit of character * o
