The favorable action of the.lower house of congress in regard to the woman suffrage amendment to tho federal constitution showed that its supporters knew pretty well what they were talking about when they pre- dicted its passage, even though it was secured by a much narrower margin than they had anticipated. That the ecleventh hour conversion of the president to the support of the federal amendment, and away from his position previously held that the question of suffra: was one which should be decided by the different states, may have had seme influence upon the democratic members of the = house is possible. But it e dent that it did not succeed in break ing down very strong opposition that party and but for the heavy r publican suppert, which was kaown advance and which unquestionably made it politicall expedient for thp demccrats’ to give their help, as one of the senators recently Stated in or- der to maintain their power in con- gress, it would have failed. 3 That the antics which were gone thraugh by the picketers in Waching- ton gave any help to the cause cannot be believed. More help was secured from the changing opinion about the country, as evidenced by the action of the state of New York in giving the ballot to wemen, than from anything «lse. As far as the house is concerned it was another case of as New York ®oes so goes the nation. The bill wiil now go before the senate ahd there an equaliy hard fight in its behalf can be anticipated. in NAVY VS ARMY METHODS. There is a decided contrast presented by the manner in which the army and navy departments have been jocking after the supplies requirzd by the msn under them. Tt is to be appreciated of course that the number of men in the army already raired and in the pro- cess of formation is greater than tne number in the navy, but there seems to be little question but what if the same methods in supplying their needs had been followed it would be pes- sible for one to claim as great an ef- ficiency as the other. Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan as the purchasing agent of the navy de- clares that all in his department have Leen fully taken ‘care of, and he in- sists to the military committee of the senate that he knows of no instance where the work of the navy has been delayed by a lack of supplies, In eon- nection with the use of shoddy in the making of uniforms for the army, Ad- miral McGowan declares that such a policy not only -has been ta- tooed in the navy, but that he has found no difficulty in se- curing plenty of wool. He maintains that it is the aim of his department to gee that the men of the navy have the best wearing apparel of every sort and that the food is the best that the market affords. He even goes so far as to say that if he can be of any as- number of vessels which have been sunk. This’ means greater volumh is not only exp must make.it up oufs which we have reservi needs. occasion to show that there was jess ground for elation over the success attained in fighting the = ‘submarines than was claimed. But whether it is putting forth any greater efforts or 4 whether there has been any relaxa- tion cn the part of the destroyer fleet, it is quite evident that the submarine activities have not been curtailed to the point where they can be ignored. BOLSHEVIKI-BULGARIAN PEACE, The full details regarding the bol- sheviki-Bulgarian peace - terms have not been disclosed In fact there If you are feeling that the struggle for life does not pay, all you need is new point of view.

Bulgaria, it is fully undefstood, does not hold any Russian territory and neither does Russia hold any of Bul- garia’s possessions. The question of 2iving up eccupied territory belong- ing to the other did not present ifself, tut it cannot help being known that Bulgaria is opposed to the policy of no annexations and no indemnities and in making peace with that country the bolsheviki apparently ignore the fact that Bulgaria plans upon retaining such portions as it wants of Serbia and at least the Dobrudja- in- Rumania and this in spite of the.fact that it was the attitude which Germany man- rassments which ‘What is, regulates the past and fis master of the future.

Through mnemonics he has learned! to improve his memory and through addressing his subconscious séif he has learned to gather power for self con- trol and efficiency. In the deveiop- ment of his powers man has made a first-class record as a siouch. It is the men who become conscious of the God-given power within who are able leaders in all the departments of life. Quick-temper, self-conceit, and arrog- ance are the product and symbol of weakness. Level-headed manliness marked by super-self control is the fruit of endeavor and the cultural practices which are known to make a man “the captain of his soul and the master of his fate” .- termined by the revelations . which come to light in regard to the alleged peace terms.’ If it is so the bolsheviki ehow that it is a seifish pesition which they are taking and that they are not so interested in the eppression of other nations as they profess td- be. PROTECT THE BIRDS. \ It is a timely appeal which is being made by the National Association of Audubon societies for the feeding of the wild birds.. As the vesult' of the snow .and ice which covers New Eng- iand and the extreme cold weather which has been experienced it is prop- €r that attention should be given to the game and insectivorous, birds if we expect to enjoy their benefits = and company during {he coming season, It is to beexpected that largé numbers of those which winter in thi have been killed' by the especi vere weathér that b ienced but those wh bave s v ara having/a harder time than ever secure sufficient sustenance becaus: ng conditions, There is thus a great opportunity for i giving them the food 'which is reg to carry them along to the time when Some people think they have inher- ited their weaknesses and their mean- nesses from their parents and rever conceive how uncomplimentary thought is to them or how unworthy themselves. The greatest students of heredity declare that all that is in- heritable is a trend toward the im- perfections of our ancestors, and thatj we are endowed with power to fore- stall the trend. It must be our ig- norance or our laziness which makes us like them. Whole families die of the same disease not because it is hereditary but because it is infectious. Poor sanitation is at the bottom of full one-half the people’s woes.
