"America For Americans"
THE PACIFIST .VXD HIS GIRL
A certain young man In a certain
city wrote a letter to a certain
young lady, telling her haughtily
th*t her hopes of seeing him in a
uniform would not he fulfilled.
"I would be prouder,'* he said,
"of wearng prison stripes. I can-1
.-ider niyseJf of the highest type
of Intelligence known Uwhiy. 1 have
my personal convictions.'" And he
added with an air of talni superior
it;., "No soldiers' sweetheart are
friends of mine."
But the girl was not impressed,—
lit le.ist ,uot ia the way the superior
young man intended. She toot
that letter to federal officials. She
said that she had one brother in
the army and another was preparing
'.o join, and that the only thing she
■ anted to <I» with, any man who pre
\: red prison stripes to a soldier's
uniform was to help put the stripes
on him. She was a "foreign girl,"
'i>0.
Tog official promptly accommo
dated her by arresting the super
ior young man. He has lost both
his sirl and his freedom.
That's one case out of many.
There's a good' deal more of gen
uine, practical patriotism bottled
up ia the girl-power of this coun
try thaa most men imagine. And
many a smart youth 3s learning it
to his cost.—Tacoma Tribune.
America, today, is divided into
two camps—Americans and, AJi»n
Knemy.
If this struggle is apt w-aa by
our country and ht±r associates

fit place to live in
lt is not enough, to take off your'
lu't to the flag — take off your
<oat and roll up your nlee»es, and
having matfe those prpeai^tfoas, »l«,

Washington, — Reequeet oomes
from the Territorial Council of De
fense, of Alaska, that the United
States Fuel Administration appoint
a Fuel Administrator for that
Territory. At the present iime
the administration of th. Alaskan,
coai fields is conducted fry- the
Fuel Administrator for the State
of Washington.
The Territory of Alaska contains,
perhaps, a$ much ooal as. the State
of Pennsylvania. Despite the large
coal areas there Alaska, imports a
large portion of its coal supply,
which transported from the State
of Washington and! from British Col
umbia.. The consumption la Alaska
amounts to about 80,000 tons a
year.
The Government railway that is
to reach from Anchorage to Fair
banks was completed last year far
eaough to tap the Matanu&ka coal
fields, and with thie completion of
tnat section of the road, from An
chorage to Seward it will ha bring
ing out Alaskan coal this summer.
The difficulties of transportation
over Alaska's 562,000 square miles,
the proDlema of wharf ageaod Joad>
ing and unloading whore both, boat
and rail have to be used, together
with the opening alp of new mines
will furn&ti many unique problems
for the Fuel Administrator when
he is appointed.

PASSING CF USELESS PARKS
British Government Has Done Well in
Converting Vast Tracts Into Areas
of Cultivation.
Since William the Conqueror first
laid waste to a smiling countryside to
make a deer park, and forbade com
mon men to hunt In that great tract
he called his "New Forest." million" of
acres or fertile Kugllsli luuJ tmv«
served no purpose useful to tlia riite.
The nobles of medieval times, und their
children's children after them, loved
above all things the ••base. 11 id they '
paid scant heed to those benfntli tlietn |
wha sought to draw their living from
the soli. If liiere were room for deer,
and foxes, and hares. and moor and
marshland for falcons to sour above,
or gentlemen to shoot over, they did
not care.
England was prosperous and Secure.
Many years ago her governments defi
nitely abandoned the Idea of making
the land self-supporting. The seas were
safe to British commerce, and none be
lieved the time would come when tb«
nation's needs would compel the us*
of pleasure parkiands. The couutry
grew old gracefully, and enjryed 1L
It was not decadent, only too well con
tent.
All this the war has changrd, am)
for the better. Britannia still rules
the waves, but beneath the waves tit
unseen- terrors, menaciug the nation'!
commerce. Its food supply. Its very
life. The nation cannot trust Its sea
borne trade now. It must utilize every
possible means to provide the neces
sary sustenance for Its armies, and for
those who supply the tiglitlng men.
And the British government rises to |
the occasion. , i
nerorr un- «m ........ „
long ami well to compel the breaking
up of old estates, tn make possible the
cultivation of land long Idle, to give
the laborer a i lmnce at the aolL He
failed, for the British are conservative
i by Instinct, and the old way seemed
easiest. They have learned their le»
son now. „
Iu three jeat> past the British gov
ernment has taken over outright no
less than 1,000.000 acres of British soli,
purchasing some, renting more. It has.
Indeed, found necessary the establish
ment of a great department to handle
this work of national regeneration. It
is a great change, and one thut should
not be regretted. The English which
makes peace will not be the England of
Its fathers, but a better one, less at
tractive. it may be, to tourists, less
beautiful to look upon externally, but,
surely, far more of an Inspiration to Its
I neighbors which travel, In company,
I the roud to real democracy.

ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.

Caused by a llrrin.
Science is donig wonders these days In
medicine as well as In mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a suc
;esaful cure until Newbro's Hcrpiclde was
put on the market. It is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
flandruff or scurf by digging Into -the
Scalp to get at the root of the hair, where
It saps the vitality: causing Itching acaip,
falling hair, and finally baldness. With
out dandruff hair must grow luxuriantly.
It is the only destroyer of dandruff.
