It is not sufficient to tell the woman that before her, under the sod, lies only a skeleton. The picture of her boy is there. She sees him as he marched away to the tap of the drum, with his bayonet glistening in the rays of the sun, with a} brave smile on his young face. ’Way hack in the years gone by, he was her baby, her care, her delight, part of her body, perhaps almost all of her life. His first pair of soft shoes, the train of broken toy cars, the worn first reader, the photo of a lad looking awkward in long pants, in her bureau drawer, all these mementos are not more sacred than this mound under which he is laid to return to dust, and there is no philosophy, no religious belief that can take from her the feeling that here, under the grass, by the white cross bearing his name and company number, once again is her bby all hers, though she may only tell him so with tears and a few poor flowers. They list her boy as a hero, to be sure. He died ‘for his country. A glorious death. Yes. But the dead are dead and gone. Men who order war, the supreme misery of war to a mcther is not the sudden shock to her of fatal news from the battlefield, but the living of the long years through with- out her boy. i Probably not two in a hundred readers noticed that, in the midst of the scandals, hot lobbying and pulling and push- ing of politics in the late Congress, a New York Congress- man introduced a measure to send over 7000 war mothers to Europe, at government expense, that they might stand at the graves of their lost boys. About $450 per mother for just sheer sentiment, said some of the honorable representatives. Other matters of more pressing importance, said Congress, and busied itself about millions for Goose Creek dredging, defending the tariff on dye stuffs, committee junkets, setting up of pins in the presidential campaign and similar matters, and so the measure for the comforting of sonless war mothers was lost in the great shuffle. But it must be revived in the December session. There is too almighty little of honest, plain, unadulter- ated mother’s sentiment in government and in the begin- nings and endings of wars. We-must show all the peoples of the world that we know the awful cost of war in every particular. We must have in the miles of rows of white crosses in ‘ the cemeteries of Meuse-Argonne and Oise-Aisne thousands | 4x administration, graft, deliber-} of golden-badged American war mothers proclaiming not the deadly “La Fayette, we are here!” of the great American general but the tender “My boy, mother has come” of the great American mother. CROWDS City population grows, the world over. One out of every 18 people in the whole world live in cities of more than 100,- 000 population. There are 409 such cities. This comes to light through a check-up. by a German statistician. We don’t know what undercurrent of emotion lures peo- ple to band together, in cities. Possibly the desire to escape long hours and hard labor and lonesomeness of farm life. Latey the, airplane will break up the cities. Families will live far out in the country, as nature intended, father flying several hundred miles to work in cities reduced to collections of factories and Stores. The city is destined to be a passing phenomenon in human progress. RICH We have our “kings,” even in democracy. Money is our monarch. A news item discloses that Robert T. Crane, an easterner,ghas paid $54 a day for the last year for the hire of a Pullman car constantly ready for his exclusive use. The price included Wages of a cook, waiter and porter. Medieval kings had nothing like that. We can’t all hire Pullman cars, but we are all kings — by ancient standards .of;comforts and even luxuries. given half his kingdom (most of continental Europe) for a radio, auto and movie theater, ANIMAL =, The theory of evolution, by allying men with the animals, hii during and since the, war had large numbers of men to interpret life in animal terms, to turn their backs in the ‘spiritual interpretation of life which Christianity offers. So clg'ms Canon Hay Aitken, England’s leading revivalist. * He is a bit unfair to animals. They are entirely natural.

Even Duyckink’s ic, “Cyclopedia of American iterature, which Was completed | in 1886,” makes no mention of it. | The first known copy came to light in London some time shortly ‘before 1884. At that time the Brit- ish Museum had a contract with Henry Stevens & Son, whereby the booksellers were to supply it with all American pamphlets, which it! did not possess, at a_ shilling apiece. Among a bundle so de- livered was “Tamerlane and other Foems,” by a Bostonian, which the museum’s librarian promptly rec- ognized; what the ignorance of Steven’s clerk cost his firm will appear shortly. Of the remaining three copies extant, two were formerly in the possession of Frederick Halsey,! the well-known New York collec- ter; one of them he bought at the Ives auction in 1893 for 370 pounds; the other known as the McKee copy, he acquired in 1900} for 450 pounds. Mr. Halsey sold boph copies to Henry EB. Hunting- ton, who kept one and later re- sold the other to Mr. Halsey. At the sale of the remainder of the latter’s library ia 1919 it was ac- quired by the late George D. Smith for 2,350 pounds—the highest price ever paid for a book by an Amer- ican author, “Tamerlane” wag published in 1827 in Boston, where Poe had gone to enter the army. Just be- fcre his enlistment he had become friendly with a youth about his own age Calvin F. S. Thomas, the proprietor of a newly opened print- ing shop. The first creation of the young poet ‘wa. the first and only venture of the young printer in the book trade. The result w: sud failure for both; the ve fell ginto speedy oblivion, the! friendship terminated abruptly, and | ‘7yhomas moved west; he never} thereafter referred to his associ- ation with “Tamerlane” or its au- thor.—Milton Waldman in London Mercury. CANADA’S RETREAT FROM | PROHIBITION Persons of open minds, whether “dry” or “wet” in principle, should endeavor to ascertain the causes of the decline and fall of prohibi- tion in the dominion of. Canada. One after another the province, by direct popular mandate, have re- ‘turned to a “wet” regime, but witir; strict government control and other notable restrictive features. Saskatchewan is the latest. prov- ince to reject the bone-dry prohi- bition after having given it a trial. | In Ontario, another plebiscite is. tobe taken on the question this! coming fall. Offhand explanations of Can- ada’s reversal of policy, as might have been expected, vary accord- ing to the theoretical beliefs and feelings of those who taake them. | One opinion is that the dominion voterg gladly. would detain prohi- bition were they at all confident of ; ties to enforce it. Disgusted’ with ate nonenforcement and like de-| moralizing results, it is said, the voters are turning to what they | as the lesser evil of liquor | regard i dispensaries owned and controlled by the government in the haope of | restoring thonesty and ,efibciency ‘in public life. This js an interesting theory | and well’ worth investigating. One thing is certain—Canadian aban- donment of prohibition is bound greatly to increase the difficulty «nd cost of enforcing the policy in qony parts of the United States. More vigilance and more agents of the right type will be required along thousands of miles of open frontier.—Chicago Daily News. | ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON 4 The next thing the elephant and the Twins did in the jungle play- ground was to slide down the slid- ing-board, “You go first,” said Tommy Tiger to the Twins, “and Weeny can go next and I’ll go last. It’s lots of fun for it has so many bumps on it.” ;. So Nancy took her turn and Nick ;took his turn, and then Weeny climbed -up the steep ladder at the back to take his turn, with Tommy behind him so he could be all ready to go when Weeny reached the bot- tom. But the very minute Weeny reach- ed the top, the ,whole business crumpled up like a jack-knife and you couldn’t tell which was Weeny and which) was Tommy and which was sliding-board. “Oh, oh, oh!” screamed * Nancy. \“Help, somebody, quick!” “I'm all right!” called Weeny cheerfully, “if only Tommy Tiger would take his paw out of my eye.” “Eye, yourself!” growled. Tommy. “I can’t move because you are sit- ting on my tail.” “Here, I'll move these boards and then you can both get up,” said Nick. “There! Now you're all right.” So Weeny and’ Tommy both crawl- ed out, all covered with mud and dirt but not mad a bit. “Ha, ha, hat” laughed Weeny. “Ho, ho, ho!” roared Tommy. “We didn’t get our ride but had a lot of fun, anyway. T’ll tell you what let’s do next. Let’s go swimming..

And yet the human body, a thousand times more delicate than the auto, radio or any other machine, is given very little attention. Its fuel (food) is fed to it haphazardly, with little of the care we bestow in buying gas for the auto or batteries or tubes for the radio. The owner, careful not to put too much “juice” on the filaments of the radio tubes or too heavy a task on his auto, repeatedly throws too much strain on his body—especially its nerves, stomach and heart. id The noted surgeon, Dr. Charles H. Mayo, probably had all this in mind when he said recently that civilization can end “mass diseases” (such as yellow fever), but individual ailments (such as cancer and ‘nervous indigestion) are gaining. Diet and proper exercise — neglect of these are the bigr enemies of health, Dr: Mayo emphasizes. “Continuous over-eating is the bane of our modern exist- Not only over-eating, but eating the wrong combinations of foods .. .

That’s why the monkey gland experimenters caught popular fancy. individual effort in the matter of food and exercise. » ¢ This’ bottle-and-p#ll fetish is further illustrated in the annual drug, bill of our country — 500 million dollars, 300 millions of which are spent on so-called patent medicines. Thirty years ago only 2699 drug items were on the market. Today the figure is over 45,000. New York, Aug. 19.—Birds, dogs, The fish, cats, monkeys, from many dif- ferent countries and climes in-trigue crowds of people every day from their window abode in one of Fifth Avenue’s most unusual shops. Cute dogs, some of them priced as high as $1000, frolic to fascinate strollers. Parrots from Brazil screech and perform. Birds of most every hue and size from India, Afri. ca and, -Australia, warble. Mic from Japan, with unbalanced heads, waltz, in idiotic pantomime. Mon- keys ‘chatter for tropical fruit. Fish, of varying size from many waters, swim lazily in costly bowls, Love birds coo. t Fifth Avenue pauses to gaze. A young man with prematurely gray hair, passes among the birds. They fly on his shoulder, whispering some- thing in bird language into his ears. He answers with a strange garble .of sounds. The birds understand—for they perform tricks and’ then fly back to gilded cages. Before the war this young man, who is C. H. Abbott, 29, of Portland, Ore., was a civil-engineer, After the armistice he became friendly with a bird fancier in Hamburg, Germany. When he returned to the States he brought with him a number of birds. He sold them at a profit, and started his business, Since then he has made 20 trips abroad. Bird and dog lovers from all parts of the country call to examine his stock. New Yorkers, who live in apart- meiits where pets are banned,, call each day to serve dainties to caged friends. The monkeys begin to leap chatter. A man who feeds every day has entered the door. monkeys recognized him. While I was in the store, one of the parrots, becoming frightened flew out into. the middle of traffic- jammed Fifth Avenue, Abbott who talks to binds, walked calmly out into the maze of automo- biles and busses, spoke to the rub- away parrot.” Then the bird climbed onto his hand and chattered thanks as Abbott returned it to the cage in the store. ° Prohibition has made strange changes in New York.
