Uncle Sam is now, by the logic
of events, the policeman of the
world, and he has not a sufficient
force to police half his own hemis
phere. _
Many of the married women of
England never knew how much
their husbands loved them until
this compulsory military service
plan came along.
The scandal in the national avi
ation corps, exposed by Senator
Joe Robinson, shows that the na
tion should watch its military as
well as its civil officers.
War has put 2,000 ships of 4,
000,000 tonnage out of business,
and opportunity to provide itse'f
with a merchant marine is loudly
knocking at America's door.
More than twenty thousand tons
of wood flour, valued at $300,000.
are used annually in the United
States in two widely different in
i dustries, the manufacturing of dy
namite and the manufacture of
inlaid linoleum. Wood flour is also
used in making composition floor
ing. oatmeal paper, and in several
other industries. It forms one of
the means by which the huge
waste product of our lumber mills
is beginning to find some better
means of disposal than the burner.
Since a total of 36,000,000 cords
of such waste is produced each
ynar at sawmills in the United
States of which about one-half goes
into furnaces as fuel, the rest is
burned as refuse to get rid of it,
there is no lack of raw material for
industries which can develop ways
of turning this waste to account.
A GENTLEMAN CAN, BUT WONT.
Any gentleman can swear, get
drunk, tell stories that would lower
him in the estimation of his mother
and wife, and go where he would
be ashamed to be seen by the boy
he loves - but he wont.
Any gentleman can drive a sharp
bargain; he can take advantage of
the other man’s necessities, he can
drive him into corner, he can rub
his hands gleefully and say to him
self as he sees him writhe, "busi
ness is business,"—but he wont.
Any gentleman can kick a dog.
aKise a horse, misuse a child,
laugh at another man's mistakes
and devilishly gloat over another
man’s failures—but he wont.
Any gentleman can grow cynical,
sour and pessimistic, he can feel
that everybody is against him and
he against the world, he can scoff
at all good things, ridicule your
religion and damn your judgment—
but he wont.
Any gentleman can say harsh,
sarcastic and cruel things, he can
crush flowers and fertilize weeds,
he can stab you with words—but
he wont.
Any gentleman can make this
old world, this topsy-turvy, this
greatly rnisunderstoon, this finites
not to-be-understood world, a
far better place because he
chanced to pass along this way —
and he will.

CAT CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE
Family Pet Has Been Formally Cau
tioned that “The Cave" Is Not
Public Property.
Out in Woodruff place a number of
small boys have banded together and
done what most boys have done if
they were real-for-sure boys—built a
cave, says the Indianapolis News. Ap
proaching this cave is a long under
ground tunnel about two feet square.
What there is in this tunnel in the
way of side chambers and the like, the
fathers and mothers never will know,
but at the inside end of the tunnel is
the den, about five feet square, built
in a sido hill and as dark as the most
cavernous depths of a Wyandotte
cave.
One of the youngsters belonging to
the band of cave dwellers hurried
homo from school the other afternoon,
donned his cave outfit, and made for
the tunnel. Crawling in fiat on the
ground, he made his way toward the
den. Arriving there, he heard a scram
bling noise just ahead and two fiery
spots loomed up in the darkness. His
teeth chattered with fright. He
couldn’t back away, ho was too fright
ened to go forward, and there was
no chance of escape at either side.
The fiery spots became active and the
boy became panicky.
Just what happened in there the
outside wirld will never know, but
when the cat—it was the family cat—
came out of the tunnel it was going
some. No cat ever moved faster, and
it didn’t stop until it had reached a
barn three lots away.
And the boy—when he emerged his
face was as white as the arctic snow
and he was moving rapidly for the
open. The next afternoon the boy
painted a sign on which were the
words: "The Cave” in white paint, on
a blazing yellow back ground. Cazing
proudly at tho sign he explained:
"Now, if that fool cat can read, he’ll
keep out of there."

SURVIVALS OF OLD STYLES
Interesting to Trace the Various Pe
riods Denoted by the Clothes of
English Servants.
F!y a large number of interesting
survivals, says the London Times in
its report of Mr. Wilfred M. Webbs
lecture before the Ethnological so
ciety, dress illustrates the innate con
servatism of humanity.
Among these survivals is the hat
band, the original purpose of which
was to hold a piece of cloth or linen
round the head. A picture exists of
an Egyptian figure dated 3500 B. C.,
the headgear of which consists of a
piece of linen, with a band tied round
it that terminates in two tails at the
back. A survival of that is to be found
in the tails of the present-day Scot
tish bonnet and of the sailor's cap.
Again, the clocks on stockings were
originally a species of ornamentation
put on to hide the seams where the
stuff was joined together. The "points'’
on the backs of gloves originally were
strips of braid used to cover the seams
in the gloveB of early times.
Men of fashion, when they tired of
particular suits of clothes, have al
ways given them away to their serv
ants, and the practice has resulted in
some styles of servants’ costume fa
miliar to us in modern days. The
groom, for example, represents a gen
tleman of the beginning of the nine
teenth century, and he still wears the
belt that ladies used to hold on by
when riding behind on the pillion. The
footman, with plush breeches and pow
dered hair, is a gentleman of the time
of George III; the sheriff s coachman,
with full-skirted coat and wig, is a
gentleman of the time of George II;
and the Lord Mayor's coachman and
suite are very fine gentlemen of the
time of George III. In the twentieth
century we hand on our evening
clothes to the waiters who stand be
hind us at the dinner table.
NOT EASY TO PUT ON PAPER
Many Lovers Entirely Unable to Ex
press the Tendencies of Love
With Pen.
In the confession of a certain fa
mous man it is recorded that during
his engagement to the woman whom
j he afterward happily married, he
! never once ventured to write to her
except on a postcard.
“Emma would have heard from me
frequently,” he says, according to a
writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
I “but that I had a morbid fear that she
would expect what is called a love let
ter, I am capable of conveying some
iccount of my affairs by the pen, but
I cannot, and never could, enlarge on
the subject of my emotions, i am not
sentimental, or at any rate, I am not
sentimental on paper."
I wonder how many women realize
this masculine peculiarity and make
adequate allowance for it? There is
a convention between betrothed cou
ples that an ardent correspondence
should contain some assurance of af
fection. It is a custom which bears
very nard on some male tempera
ments.
The happy young girl listening for
the postman's knock and hoping for
“Just a scribble" from her fiance, lit
tle knows how considerable has been
the labor of producing that scribble.
Precisely because he has had diffi
culty in composing it its punctual ar
rival testifies to his fondness. Tho
writing of the scribble has been a real
sacrifice of time, as well as a consider
able struggle for ideas. N’everthless.
the essential quantity of the lover's
“scribble” is subtly absent. For the
prime characteristic of a love letter,
“scribbled" or not, is that it should
be spontaneous.
To be a fluent writer of love letters
Is given to few men—professional au
thors apart—and the girl wdio has be
come engaged and who enforces a rule
that she shall receive a perfervid out
pouring of epistolary art at regular in
tervals from her future husband is
conceivably making a profound
psychological mistake. For she is
causing him to be untrue to himself
—for her sake.
Not that his fond speeches, when
he and she are alone with each other,
are untrue. But for him the putting
of similar fond speech on paper is
untrue, inasmuch as he is of those
who have to think out what they write
—and such things, when spoken, are
not “thought out;” they come spon
taneously and that is their beauty.
