Standing on the pavement were three or four little boys at rigid attention while the fireman low- ered the flag with careless indifference. A man passing just as the fiag reached the level of his eyes glanced at it as though it were any ordinary piece of cloth. “Gee,” said one little boy, “that guy didn’t sa- lute nor nothing.” The man meant no insult to the flag. He was merely careless. It’s a habit we Americans have. THE BISM ARCK: TRIBUNE ey and prospective, of all shades of political Treaty opponents in the senate will imme- diately feel the full political effect of this move. WORK—PLAY “The true pleasure of play is as a relaxation from work. Relaxation, rest, is from a contrast of occupa- | tions. Play is a contrast from work, Work is a contrast from play. We may use as much physical and mental ef- fort in play as in the work of earning a living, yet ‘after the play we return rested to our work. | One is a relaxation from the other. All play and no work, and play becomes a dis- | sipation. All work and no play, and we become stale. Absolute idleness, no activity at all, is degen- j eration. And it is very easy to understand why there is rest, relaxation, in a contrast of activities—even with the same amount of effort. While at work one set of brain cells and mus- cles are active, while at play another‘set of brain cells and muscles are active. One set is resting while the other is working. Eight hours of work, eight hours of play and | eight hours of sleep is the commonly accepted rule. | Activity during the hours of both work and We love the red, white and blue more than our|play is not harmful providing it is in contrast. own life, but we just don’t show our affection.

You can blame it on the war or anything you! wish but in England and America the cost of | canaries has advanced more proportionately than} that of food or clothes or any general commodity and that, as you know, is saying a good deal. Most of the canaries of commerce come from Switzer-| land where canary culture is-a fine art. The war) not only checked exports but curtailed the work | of the breeders. Today a good canary brings from $5 to $7 in’ London and twice that in New York. You can get cheaper birds but they are not worth much as singers. In England the canary has supplanted the most popular. In this country the linnet plays little part but canaries of quality comraand any- where from $5 to $15. Bird seed has advanced 300 per cent since 1914. Goldfish run a strong second to canaries in| favor at present and are almost as scarce. Deal-! ers report a pronounced demand from Canada in| particular and a disregard of price. | i | the linnet not only as the greatest song birds but) | Let the mill workers and outdoor mechanics spend a portion of their off time in reading or some pure mental effort. “As a matter of fact the physical workers have; |a certain advantage over the mental workers for the development of their minds along any desired lines. The mental worker uses his mind during all his hours of work; his mind is usually too tired for further effort during the hours of play. The physical worker’s mind is fresh for the hours of play—he can use it, develop it during leis- ure periods, And all on the law of rest, relaxation, in con- trasting occupations. Satire is mostly ire. Muscle is in the saddle. The steel strike will doubtless boost the price | | of all automobiles except that one made of tin. Within recent years the song bird and goldfish ithe nerve.

Under Lenine’s frightful system prices are sky high and public money is wasted. We are travel- ing the same road in this country, but think how dignified and pious we are about it. WOMAN AND THE TREATY A powerful effect upon the senate is apt to be one of the results of the decision of the democratic national committee to double the size of the com- mittee by adding 17 woman members. It followed the representations of Mrs. George Bass, Chicago, that from “the Pacific to the Mississippi” she had found the “women aflame with sentiment for rati- fication of the treaty and the league covenant.” There is no reason to doubt Mrs. Bass’ state- ment. Incidents on President Wilson’s recent trip corroborate it. Women are against war, and the instrument the republicans in the senate are hold- ing up offers mankind the best and only hope that is for world-wide, enduring peace, Woman, God bless her, in domestic life no less than in politics, likes to be Lady Bountiful. The very arguments thus made by opponents of the treaty that the United States should deny itself the privilege of helping the little struggling, self- governing democracies, freed finally from the yoke of Austria, Russia and Prussia, fail of their purpose. Even more they arouse in woman re- sentment against such crass selfishness and bring into action woman’s ever-present, self-sacrificing desire to aid the needy. , So the democratic politicians, realizing that from 16,000,000 to 18,000,000 new voters—all women—will participate in the election of a presi- dent in 1920, make half of their new executive committee women and announce they thus take The gallery cheered Reed’s four-hour attack on the league, but we are not told whether the| cheers were for his logic or his endurance. A mob at Drumright, Okla., took charge of the town and drove out the police and municipal offi- cials. Aren’t conditions terrible in Russia? Crowds in the senate gallery hissed when an effort was made to quiet them. In these days one expects hissing of any effort to establish order. The department of agriculture suggests reduc- ing the wheat acreage this year, the idea being that another great crop might make flour cheap. The fact that Georgia negroes passed resolu- tions applauding white people for lynching a col- ored criminal will cause untold anguish in Boston. The Italian government can’t handle D’Annun- zio because he is too popular with the people. Also because his action is too popular with the Italian government. : The ‘new industry of making leather of fish skins will thrive if it can arrange with Wall Street to obtain the covering of suckers skinned on that thoroughfare.

Roth prosecuted a group of Ohio milk producers for alleged main- tanence of prices. He lost. He pros- ecuted Max Hamberg for robbery. Hamberg was acquitted. He prosecut- ed Howard Bacon for larceny and lost again. When John Lard came up for larceny, Roth refused to try the case. “Food cases are my jinx,” was his excuse.
