The Colonel isn’t ‘'going to earn another $40,000 by settling the European war.— Rochester Herald. Former ' Mayor Fitzgerald of Bos- ton .accuses former Governor Foss, now a Prohibition candidate, of drinking beer ‘“out of a bottle.”” Does “Honey Fitz" consider a can more democratic, or what?—Pittsburgh Dispatch. It seems to us that Germany should be much more excited than the United States about the Hesperian incident. Germany is on, trial before the court of ' alvilization, and the United States is the judge whe will decide the case after the evidence has been heard. In the circumstances we can well afford to be calm.—New York World. On the side of the Allies, there is yet much. incentive to continue the war, for as cancerns one of them, England, the full possible strength has not vet been exerted. It is best to expect one more strenuous attempt from them, but its issue might be decided@ before winter brings its dreary deadlock.—Braklyn Standard- Union. Were the United States to engage in war, would it be possible for its enemy, or Powers in sympathy with that enemy, to demaralize evem tem-* porarily the industrial plants on which we should depend for ammunition by inducing workingmen to quit their benches? Or could a system of sabo- tage, directed by aliens, be established under which imperfect and undepen- dable products might be served to our fighting forces?—New Yark Sun. The most unstable and uncertain element in Democratic politics, the fluctuating and undependable factor, is that little group of honorary colo- nels from whom the country has heard so.much of late and something different every day. There is pic-' turesque Colonel Wattersan, sardonic Colonel Harvey, the sauviloquent Colonel Bryan and the secretive Colo- nel House, and it is easier to fore- cast the weather or the jumps and drops in sterling exchange than ta tell where one of them will stand a week from now.—Rochester Post- Express. Ambassador Dumba's breach of diplomatic etiquette, to designate it in no harsher way, over- shadows all other incidents of the hour, as official action in regard to it must be prompt and definite. A lit- the reflection should convince the Am- bassador that he has done his coun- trymen in the United States a very {1l service in recommending to his government that it employ money to call them away from their occupa- tions.. In the whole history of our relations with foreign countries there has hever been another diplomatic representative at our national capital who has in such an open and un- abashed way taken measurfes to make himself altogether unaggeptable.— New York Time ‘ COMMUNICATED PANDORA’S BOX. To The Editor of the Herald: Sir:—In an editorial recently I no- ticed the sentence “It will prove Pan- dora’s box.” Will you kindly en- lighten me as to the exact meaning of the phrase Pandora’s box? CURIOUS. Pandora is a mythological being. She was heralded as a beautiful but somewhat deceitful woman sent to earth by the gods to bring misery and suffering to the human race be- cause Prometheus outwitted Zeus and stole fire from heaven for man’s use. According to the best version of Pan- dora’s mission she brought with her a box containing all human ills. Everything escaped from this box but hope. Another version is the box was filled with blessings; but the first explanation of Pandora’s box is the one usually accepted. Auto Cuts Tombstone. The owner of a granite cutting es- tablishment in Los Angeles received an order ane day to cut some addi- tlonal lettering on a standing monu- ment in a cemetery some twenty miles from his mill, says “The Illus- trated World.” Having a compressed air starter on his car he conceived the idea of making the air compres- sor furnish the power to run a regu- lar pneumatic hammer. Taking 'nis mechanic and a length of hose and an air hammer with his tools he ran his machine to the distant cemetery, connected with air line to the drain- age cock of the air reservoir of his car wedged dJdown the compressor clutch and ran the pressure up to the limit of the machine and started operations. The engine kept up suf- ficient pressure without overheating to finish the work in rapid order. The run of twenty miles and return and the cutting of sixty-five letters on a standing stone, which, by hand, is a day’s work. in itself,. was done in’ a little aver six hours—a rather handsome saving affected by a pleas- ure vehicle. Their Object Educational. “I bélieve,” says General Superin- tendent of National Parks Mark Daniels, ‘‘that the most important feature in the national parks-is the educational one. In a national park the scenery or natural phenomena is of such a character as to be largely educational. I am sure that no one can go through Yellowstone National park after hearing the roar of the hot springs and seeing the paint pots without feeling that his education has heen materially augmented. Nor can he leave Yosemite, after spending ¢nough time in there to see what glacial action was, to see the highest waterfall in the world, the greatest trees in the world, without feeling that his mental horizon has been broadened materially.” McMILLAN’S EW BRITAIN’S BUSIEST BIG STORE “ALWAYS RELIABLE” THE NEW FALL SILK BLOUSES CREPE DE CHINE BLOUSES $1.98, $2.98, $3.98 cach TUB SILK BLOUSES At $1.98 cach In all white.

How much the world owes to the masters of literature who have put most stirring events can never be properly estimated, any more than the amount can be computed which th imaginations of authors have con- tributed to the wealth of delight found in their works. Foremost among the delectable spots wholly surrrounded by a sea of words is the island home of Robinson Crusoe, dear alike to young and old readers of De Foe's immortal work. Singularly, the popular conception, which frequent reference to facts fails to cofrrect, is that the solititude, unbroken until the imprint of a naked foot on the sea sand was revealed to a wary eye, existed on the real island of Juan Fernandez, off the west coast of South America. That is because popularity the fictitious hero of per- haps the most widly read book in the world except the Bible is identificd with Alexander Selkirk, who spent several years on that island and Wwhose real narrative may have been the basis for the later work of fic- tion. But De Foe distinctly places the scene of the castaway adventures of his hero on the other side of the South American continent near the mouth of the great river Oronoque, or Orinoco, as now spelled: The land most nearly corresponding to is the island of Tobago. Next, perhaps, to the island home of the immortal Crusoe is that pure- ly invented scene of romance where the chief incidents of ‘‘Treasure 1s- land” go forward. A recent writar says that Robert Louis Stevenson, among whose most lasting contribu- tions to the world of letters he =o largely enriched is this story of pure adventure, was led forward to its composition by making a map of an imaginary island. out of which grew | his first great story, of which it has | been said: “Doubtless man may write a better book for boys than ‘Treasure Island,” but doubtless man never has, and probably never will.” Imaginary haunts of imaginary men and women on islands, real or | unreal, have added much to the *charms of both prose and poetry from pens, more or iess famous. From the island home of the “Swiss Famiiy Robinson.” *“The Coral Island” of R. M. Ballantyne, the seagirt spot described in Captain Marryatt's “Mas- terman Read to the islands de- picted in the latest novels of Cyrus Townsend Brady and Miss Mary Johr- ston there is an ever-growing list of regions ‘‘beautiful for situations and the joy of the whole earth,” which have been wrought from the | minds of genius and embodied in words for the enjoyment of tho world. These man-made regions fre- quently surpass in interest the real known to readers and are i ted with the charm of the “re- | mote, unfriended and alone.” To | their creators are due the thanks of all who have ever enjoved reading or being read to about them. in it FRESH ARRIVALS IN HANDSOME NEW FALL GARMENTS Specially Priced for Saturday Wise, Smith & Co.

As, for instance, when it requests all readers to write letters during the present congres- sional recess urging their representa- tives and senators to enact legislation providing for the most efficlent man- agement of the post office, not forget- ting the foreign service. In these {imes when so much is being thought and said about South and Central American trade—about international commerce in general—it certainly is among the things lying nearest at hand to ask, or if need be to demand, of congress that the maijl service be- tween the United States and other countries—South American and Cen- tral American in particular—be modernized. It ought not to be the case that postal communication be- tween the Americas should be slower and costlier than in postal communi- cation between the southern Americas and the rest of the ecarth. The World Postal J.eague will do well to cling to dts ideals, even though force of circumstances compels it to travel slowly toward the point of making some of them practical. Another Ri (New York Press.) have been muckraked as an undesirable institution, say twenty- five years ago! It would be almost the guarantee of present acceptance and distinguished approval. What is these, among the ac- cepted bogies and aversions of a short generation ago, that has not latterly been established in good re- pute? The nickel navel for which we had our hides tanned regularly is now good form; the candy that was ruining our teeth of adolescence is now prescribed as a fine food; the baby that once must be rocked but not allowed to cry, must now be al- lowed to cry but may not be rocked; to be a pigeon-toed was a deformity but now it is the proper habit and | attests physical correctness. And so | the list might be expanded indef initely. No neeg, have come the corset; ed Bogie. O, to though. The doctors at length to defense of wherefore it will be as- | sumed that no bogie is longer sa- cred. It was foremost of them all, breaking the health of women, ruin- ing their natural figures, squeezing their organs into impossible places and generally demoralizing them. True, the ladies paid no whit of at- tention, but kept on wearing it; and | now the doctors—maybe making virtue out of necessity—have issued ukase that the corset is a fine thing. It keeps women from assuming sloppy and unnatural posittons, holds in their proper places and re- lationships the organs that it used utterly to dislocate, protects the delicate internal mechanism from the weather——in short is a | highly useful and commendable con- | traption.

Peace cannot be imposed by com- plete military on either side. The war can go on to fhe point of general exhaustion, but even then there would have to be media- tion, or an approach to each other of the warring nations, in order to end it. As opposed to this view, what is proposed? Simply that the countries involved should go on bleed- ing themselves white, Germany it is said, must lose 4,000,000 men more: the allies as many. Then we may hope that the fighting will stop and the map of Europe be made over!
