The annual report of Secretary of ‘War Baker says some nice things about machine guns, heavy and light, and then pipes up with this: “It is therefore highly important that the army should be supplied with an adequate number of both types of arm. “The recommendations of the board already made recognize the wisdom of this course, and its conclusions, when finally reached will no doubt be ac- cepted as authoritative, although this is the fleld of most rapid advance in the perfection of arms, and the de- partment will welcome each improve- ment.” “When finally reached” is doubtiess hunmer and as such will got a rise out culition ¢bows that at its present rate the hoard having this master in hand will reach its final conclusion in the summer of 1936, if somebody doesn’t spring-the speed limit on it. But the main thing is about the glad hand the department holds out to im- provements. x The biggest improvement of the war is the development of light, port- able, air-cooled guns. The welcome it has had at the hands of the de- partment’s boards isn’t hot enough to keep anybody awake nights, anyway. After two years and four months of demonstration those boards are hard- ly aware of its existence. An energetic housewife with a «broom would be a timely innovation in these board rooms. She would sweep away the cobwebs that now ‘bind the slumbering: veterans to their tables. O Mat & a ‘But vould she sweep away the other cobwebs that darken their venerable minds? > ‘ That's, the que New York is cloging its Sunday movies, and Connecticut is prosecut- ing a man for “blasphemy.” The dark- est hour comes just before the dawn. H. C. OF COLDs. Why not reduce your holiday ex- penses by cutting out the h. c. of your annual cold? If you. are a person of normal health, you probably manage to keep well up to Christmas, and then you succumb to a cold in the head, or to the grip, or bronchitis, or tonsilitis, or influenza. And you do not work very well for a few days while you are coming down with your cold; then you stay away from work a few days more; then you work badly while that mean feeling lasts; and then there is the doctor's bill and the drug store ex Penses. Common ‘colds have been astimated to cost the population of certain states $3,000,000 a year. Really, considering the advanced prices of medicine, and the wages lost, only the well to do can afford to catch cold. But. in this matter the poorest. can become philanthropists, | Whoever manages to get through the winter without his annual sneézing or cough- ing spell is conferring a benetit on the whole community. There are two ways of cutting the high cost of colds for your own sake and of proving yourself a public bene- factor, as well: 1, Avoid exposure to infection when a member of the family brings a germ cold into the house, and if you catcl: a cold, sneeze and cough behind your handkerchief and_avoid infecting oth- ers. 2.

We assume that there ig no danger that President Wilson and his advis- ors will be unduly influenced by those persons who, with only the most su- Pperficial knowledge of the facts, are urging that this is the time for the United States either alone or with the other neutrals to interfere in an at- tempt to stop the European war. This may be the time; the proba- No one in this country can possibly be so well informed as to every as- pect of the European situation as is the president. He h all the information that any of the rest of us have, plus the con- fidential information from American ambassadors in all of the belligerent and neutral capitals. There can be no doubt that Presi- dent Wilson will eagerly grasp the first real opportunity for being of service to the warring nations in help- ing them to arrive at a basis for peace not only among themselves, but a side—cover up; sit, stand and walk|accept any suggestion he may make erect, and walk every day in the open N. | air; keep clean; eat slowly and do ; Not eat too much. The Christmas feast your for a peace conference, fn a spirit of friendliness, it would be the height of folly to attempt to put pressure upon the president to take any step for Peace at this time. There have been several crises since the war started in which the very best thing the American people could do, in their own interest as well as in world interest was “sit tight and not rock the boat.” $ This seems to be another of ‘those crises. The president of Russia’s duma re- signs because a member called him a “babbling blackguard.” Must have been an awfully sensible president. Life in Sing Sing for selling fake phonographs, is a sentence just meted out by a New York judge. What will happen to sellers of “Hawaiian” rec- ords? | With a British cruiser off Sandy Hook sending out warnings that Ger- man submarines may be met any- where in the Atlantic, it would seem that the British blockade leaks badly. “GLAD GIRL” OF THE ‘‘ GLAD PLAY” ___ (Continued from page one) ly glad by picking out a few cheer- Jess ones to give little gifts to. ‘ Be glad there is a Christmas sea- son in which you can find a million reasons for being glad if you'll half try. And when it comes to making Peace to include all the nations of the earth. If we give the president credit for this mental attitude toward the Eu- ropean war and at the same time credit him with being a man of rath- er extraordinary intelligence, the best way we can help him to decide wise- ly whether or not this is the time to sound a note of peace is to let him alone. It may very well be that the inside knowledge which the president has otf the official and popular sentiment in Great Britain and allied countries wil! convince him that to go further at this time than merely convey the Ger- man proposals to her enemies with- out ‘suggestion or comment, would be a~great mistake; that it would put this country in the position of play- ing into the hands of Germany in her efforts to fasten upon the Entente Allies the responsibility for continu- ing the war.
