From the progress which the Brit- ish and French are making on the western front it is evident that the spring drive is on. Points of consid- erable importance for which the al- lies have been striving for months are béing taken. The German forces are retreating or being driven back to new positions. They .are giving up places which have been held for a long period. They are retiring to points where an equally strong de- fense can probably be made, where the line will be shorter and less troops will be required for the defense, but they are all the time getting further from Puris and the benefits which they may obtain from the cutting down of the battle front will result to like advantage for the allies. Thus while it may be claimed that there is strategy in this retreat of the Germans, it cannot be denied that it is being forced by the offensive of the allied armies with the resulting ef- fect that where the laiter are gaining prestige the retreating forces are los- ing even as they did following the dis- astrous failure to take Verdun. ‘Where the forward movement of the British. and French is going to stop depends upon the ability of the re- treating army to defend the new po- sition which they are planning to take and which from all acco they have been preparing for some time past inesmuch as it was manifested from the offensive of the allies in the fall of 1916 that the Bapaume line sould not hold much longer. With this activity in the west, the progress of the British and Russians in Asia Minor and the new move in Macedonia the spring drive has shown thus early a success which cannot be looked upon otherwise than gratifying to those engaged in it. WARNING TO PRUSSIA. 1t is possible to gather from the speech which has been made by Chan- ceflor Bethmann Hollweg that he has seen the handwriting on the wall, that the Russian revolt has not peen with- out value to him as showing what is likety to happen In Germany If there is not a. disposition to listen to re- forms which are demanded by the people. His talk was directed partic- ularly to the Prussians for it is Prus- sia which Is decidedly reactionary and that is also the leading state regard- ing imperial affairs. What Betbmann Hollweg therefore says to the Prussians is that it is well to ponder deeply over the Russia revolution. He is not anxicus that there should be any overthrow at Ber- iin like there was at Petrograd, but he recognizes the fact that it is not beyond the bounds of possibilities. It oesn’t take long to capitalize unrest >f which Germany has its share, and when it comes to arrogant rule there s mone who.can surpass the' Prus- sians. Ths the chascellor has Hastened ‘o make the situation plain to the Prussian diet. It is time to give con- sideration to the reforms which ought io be made before the people decide to take affairs into their own hands and change conditions for themselve: However he may have felt about this in the past, the Russian break has torced him to look the matter straight in the face and bring those who are respopsible for it to the same view point. MT. M’KINLEY PARK. Congress and the legislatures of different states have taken wise ac- tion from time to time when it seem- sd advisable to protect wild life from extermination. There have been closed seasons established by law in many states and the national Iegislators were impressed with the advisability that the law shall apply not only to those wkho seek licenses as drivers of automobiles in the future but to those who already hold licenses and have as the inexperienced must undergo the tests prescribed by the law. ; Such a plan might be looked upon as admirable if there was any way in which it was possible to overcome carelessness, but that does not ap- pear to be possible. There can be lit- tle question but what the thousands -who hold licenses can pass any test to which they may be put by the board of examiners, and there is no reason to suppose but what there is just as high a degree of carelessness, and as much of a disposition, if not more, among the experienced drivers to take chances as there is among the begin- ners. It would be a simple matter for the 01d drivers to prove their efficiency in the operation of their machines,but it would be an entirely different matter to suppose that they would restrict themselves to such methods after the examiner's back was turned, just be- cause they had passed the test. It is well enough to see that beginners car drive a car proverly, but the idea of examining those Who have driven for years, under the.impression that such a test would abolish recklessness, means a lot of effort and expense that would g6 for naught. I is the en- forcement of the law in such ca that is needed. WORKING FOR SAFETY. Not only is the effort for Ereater safety for those enzaged in mining operations showing excellent results by the adoption of protective measures and interesting the workmen in look- ing out for their own welfare, but the same sort of commendable improve- ment is being shown as the result of the efforts which are being put forth in behalf of those. employed i manu- tacturing establishments. This work is being directed by the National Safety Council and impresses upon the workmen the advisability of avolding carelessness, the necessity of giving proper protection to the eyes, the ex- tension of first aid to the injured and paying attention in general to precau- tions which will insure safety. There is an extremely large field for carrying on such work. T impor- tant not only to the emplaye but to the emplover, and as the result of the work carried on in this direction for the past ten vears there has been an average reduction of at least 75 per cent. in the number of serious acci- dents. It is not to be expected that any methods, regardless of what they may be, will result in the entire elimina- tion of accidents. There are those who will mive no heed even to sell protection until they have had a prop- er amount of the kind of experfence that will make an impression upon them, and there are always a certain number of unavoidable accidents. The excellent showing which has been mude, however, shows that the effort was needed and that it should be con- tinued and if possible enlarged. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Noth- ing so pleases humdn nature as a caricature of the-man who is disliked. These are the days when vegetables might well be included in the mis- cellaneous showers and be heartily welcomed. ¢ It is barely that the spring drive has opened on the western front without any flourish of trumpets but just hard and persistent fighting. A Philadelphia court has adjudged Harry Thaw insane. If he can only manage to get into New Hampshire he may be able to have that decision set aside. There is one thing about the act of the Bulgarians in forcing the Serbs to join their army, they are not them under the pretext that it is for their best interests as Germany did the Belgians. The only regret on the part of the public in connection with the loss of & half to three quarters of a million by those who attempted to cormer on- lons is that they didn’t lose several times as much. . e =, Regardless of the fact that he has been elected constitutional president, Cafranza mbtst admit from ths pres- sure that has been brought to bear upon him that he cannot hope to es- cape watching. i S “ Turkey has agreed to accept the additional consuls which have been sent there by this country.

Also darn them on_the top where the gar- ter clasps.

As spring is coming on and we are thinking of house cleaning and ren- ovating, let us remember to first of all begin on a clean surface by fum- igating and sterilizing and disinfecting everything. This has been a winter of iliness and death in hundreds of homes and therefore too much care and thought cannot be put into the cleansing of everything - of germs. They lurk where one would least sus- pect and encourage disease and i ness and perhaps death. Begin at the very foundation of evervthing _to cleanse thoroughly. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. A medicine dgopper may be used with good effect’ in_removing cinders from the eyelids by drawing them out by suction. A little pointed roll of soft paper also may prove useful. No ont is immune from accidents, and among the most common of these are the injuries caused by ecalding. The pain of the sufferer can be grea ly alleviated before the doctor ar- rives if somebody pressnt knows just what to do. Scalds should be treated practically the same as burns. The first step is to exclude the air by means of a covering with the white of an egg, a plece of clean old linen saturated with olive oil or even pure unealted butter. In mild scalds leave the blister aione for twenty-four hours, but if the skin is badly scalded and the blisters are much raised above the surface prick them at the edge with a sterilized needle and gently press until the liquid comes out. Great care should be taken not to injure the loose skin covering the blisters, as it is needed as a protector to kep the scald from getting raw. OF OLD SHAWLS AND SCARFS. There are still many old shawls and scarfs in ancestral trunks or even in our own old trunks, and there is no reason, save one of eentiment, why they should be left there another min- ute, says the New York Times. For there are many ways in which they can us to advani Even if for reasons oOf sentiment: you leave them in their comfortable trunks or packing cases, moths may find their hiding places and then their life will measured. In ¢his day of charming negligees any shoulder scarf can be transformed part of a negligee. So if you have a gift shoulder scarf which for some reason is not in keeping with your evening frock, transform it into a negligee—with the aid of a wisp of tulle, a yard or two of ribbon, a few artificial flowers and a little satin, net, silk or mull. The scarf can be formed ifto puffed or flowing sleeves, put into a satin jacket, which ties with ends made from the ends of the scarf—the mid- dle part in this case would be used for the sleeves. Or the negligee can be made with a chiffon panel back and front—from the scarf—held together with pleated tulle, trimmed with tiny roses made from little ends of the scarf material. mh" way to use a searf on 2 nej is to fasten it loosely at each sleeve, just as a scarf. The. effect so produced is charming. Old shawls last year were often X sy Juts iiteresting svenk loaks. Some edged with fur a nfily lined with soff-colored silk were really beautiful. when Persia will seemingly predominate, {:.lt as the Balkans and Egypt d(d year, so far as the geography of our fashion-influence "is concerned, there is more reason than ever to bring out the old Persian shawl and to convert it into a wearable evening coat. an Interesting evening B s fc It before met had come in ted. was for the vogue that it is en!oyln‘ now and vlll Dl'oblbl’ enjoy for a long ‘he dress sho r wed a lain white net,”but lt was almost covered it] USE SENSIBLE OFFICE FROCKS. every sensible business the neck opening — but the always satisfac- ‘ward- t one tires of everiasting waists and sirtz, and the business woman likes to have a_pretty frock or two for -office wear. ere is no objectiori to a silk frock, if it is simply made and not too gay in color. The tussah silk so fashion- able just now is admirable for such a frock, and there are ready-made mod- els of taffeta and faille matinee in dark blue, coffee brown, olive green and other shades that are charming. If one is a canny shopper, looking well before buying, many a good bar- Zain in ready-made frocks may be picked up. Combinations dark taffeta with plaid or striped taffeta are e lent, and there are mohair dresses with silk stitching and em- broideries that are exceedingly good style. The busihess women's skirt should be over the tops of her but- toned boots, and her Sleeves should come to the wrist. &he may wear a collariess blouse or a tall stock collar as she pleases. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Buttonhole stitches may be used ef- fectively to join lace and embroidery. The result is more pleasing than the ordinary seam. Any one who has any spare ti can devote it pleasantly and usefully by making pillow cases. They can be made much cheaper than bought and with little or no trouble. You can buy pillow tubing for 25 cents a_yard. Two vards will make a pair. Draw very evenly two- rows of shallow scallops arcund the opening. Be careful that you measure them evenly so that you wil not have uneven scallops at the ends. That done, crochet a double edsing wthout hemming the case. For 55 cents you can make a handsome pair of pillow case If desired one or mere initials could be embroidéred in the center above the crocheted edge. - Trolleys Lead To e CONCERNING WOMEN. Moscow university admits women as students. Girls outnumber the boys in the Philadelphia high schools. ‘Women school teachers in Detroit receive only $600 a year.

Over 1,000,000 women are doing men’s work at home in Great Britain. SAVING TIME. There are many things that can be prepared for breakfast the evening be- fore. The fruit can be made ready for the table, the dishes to be used put in the warming oven, the cereal can be put in the fireless cooker and the coffee in the pot ready for the stove.
