Impressive indeed is the announce- ment which is made by General March that 900000 United Stites soldiers have thus far been sent to Europe and that this country is five months ahead | of its programme in this respect. How fast our troops are being gotten in a position where they can be of some| service in holding back the Hun is indicated by the fact that since his previous staiement a week ago the number has been 4ncreased by 100,000, Whether this means that by the end of this week there will be a million who have crossed the Atlantic from these shores remains to bhe seen, but it is apparent that the time will not,| te long before this total is reached under the present plan of forwarding troops. Especlally gratifying is this accom- plishment not only because of the distance which has to be covered and the fact that the greater part of the trip has to be made by water when all the allied countries have been suffer- ing so seriously from a lack of ship- ping, but because of the fact that it has been accomplished in spite of the determined efforts which the Germans have made to prevent it by their sub- marine operations. Germany has been resorting. to every means within its power to 80 reduce the number of ships that England could not get suf- ficient foodstuffs to exist, but ip spite of that the British are not only get- ting all they need but thére are ships enough to earry this great army of troops and get them to their destina- tion with very small loss. is an accomplishment which cannot be de- nied the praise that it deserves. RECKLESS ENGINE DRIVING. Once again the country is appalled by the large number of killed and in- jured in a railroad wreck on the M chigan Central railroad when a ci cus train car g the personnel of the Hagenbach-Wallace show was struck from the rear, while fully pro- teeted by signals, by an empty tro train running at high speed which plowed its way through the pay cars and four coaches causihg death and destruction and setting fire to the wreckage so that those who wers killed and injured were in many cases badly burned and in some instances to suech an extent that recognition is im- possible. Although the investigations which have been started have not been com- pleted, the very fact that it is claim- ed that the engineer of the ecxpress passed two bleck signals, two red light signals and the usual fuses planted between the rails by the cir- eus train empioyes, who were work- ing on a hot hox, makes it evident that the responsibility reSts entirely npon the engine crew of the empty troop train. The indications are that he must have been running wiid with his mind occupied solely by the'de- sire to reach a certain point in the quickest possible time, otherwise there seems to be no excuse for such a dis- regard for signals. Had it been hut one signal that was disregarded some reagon for failure to observe it might have been offered but to pass the whole series of warnings without bringing the train under control indi- cates reckiess operation of the most glaring kind, and under such condi- tions no other outeome could be ex-; pected. POSTAL TUBES, It is quite evident that the propo- sition to purchase the pneumatic tubes in the large cities of the coun- try for the transportation of the mails has been stopped, temporarily. There is mo question, however, about the ad- visability of continuing the use of the tubes and the mails will continue to be sent by this quick method rather than to resort to the employment of automoblle trucks for the further clogging of already congested streets. According to the understanding ‘which has been reached in the house the postal tubes will be utilized at least until the fourth of next March and instructions will be given to the interstate eommerce commission to conduct an investigation in the mean- time to detarmine the question as to whether the government should make a purchase of them. ‘There was a determined opposition on the part of the postmaster general to the continuetl use of the tuhes, He has Dflfilwflk M do not render - the service required | and had claimed that it could be se- cured Dbetter through ' using motor trucks. Business men in the cities where the tubes are in use have de- clared otherwise. They not only in- 'sisted that the service shouid be con- tinued but that it should be extended. The proposition to purchase the tubes inyolved a large sum of money boti for acquiring them and for maintain- ing and extending them. It is per- haps well that such expenditure might well be delayed at this time but the determination to stick to the service camnot be regarded otherwise than a sensibie one. AGAINST PROFITEERING. It is perfectly apparent that if the government is going to restrain the profiteers it must take action against all of them from the top down, or from the bottom up. It would be thoroughly inconsistent if it were to restrain only a part of those who are in a position to and actually have been trying to get rich quick off of the prices which the consumer is forced to pay. It would be ridiculous to think of forcing the producer to keep down the price of his goods if the middiemen were to be allowed to charge anvthing they please, or to say at what price the middlemen must sell it the retailer can exact any amount he sees fit from the house- Lolder. The same thing is true re- sarding the manufactured goods. It is therefore a wise course which being pursued in regulatin: the prices and seeins that the regulations are respected in all branches of bu ness. It is the onlv thing to do in| order to overcome the clarge of fa- voritism and to protect the littie fel- iow, to whom the increase in prices, whether justified or not, is invariably d along. Thus when the food ration takes up the prosecu- for charging ex- cessive prices it is only what has been done rezarding those amonz the pro- due nfacturers and middlemen. It is one of the best bits of evidence that profitcering is not going to be allowed ond that those who think they an engaze therein are due for pointm It is the only way in which the protection of the consumer can be assured. FEDERAL LAND DEVELOPMENT. Secretary Iane of the department of the intel has been advancinz iy reg_;r(kn’ the Lbringinz intn use of large acreazes which are not now .utilized, or not used "as. ex- ternsivelv. as they micht be to meet the present needs of the country. That some least Wwill ecme from zood at 1 the sugrestions is to be anticipated. At the present time he is deeply in- terested in the question of providing homesteads for the soldiers and sail- ors who returnfrom the war. Thers will be nothing too good for the fight- crs on their return ond while it iz thoroughly understond that there will be many who would not give a snapj of thelr finger for tae best farm to be had there are others who would welcome the opportunity, and it is the proposal of Secretary Lane that preparaticns be made for the days af- ter the To those who would be interested in the farm idea it is his plan to reclaim the three million or o acres of arid land in the state of Colorado which can be made highly prodvctive sand the hundreds of millions of acres of { cutover swamp lands about the coun- | fry which could be combined with such homestead land as the zovern-| ment now has so that it could be said | to the soldiers and sailors on their retyrn, “There is a variety of farms from which to cheose, go take your pick.” There are great chances for land de- velopment in almost every section of the country, and if the farm idea doesn’t appeal to “the hoys” there are plenty of others to whom it ousht to if . proper arrangements could be made. EDITORIAL NOTES. There is talk now of training South American troops in this country. Germany will probably sneer at such possibilities The man on the corner says: It is usually where there are a lot of bare spots that the keep-off-the-grass signs seem to spring up. There cannot he much patience with those communities which are howling these days hecause they are not given inew railroad stations. From the encouraging reception the solicitors are receiving it looks as if the people had decided to make every day war savings day. CGermany is finding out to its sur- price that where it encountered one American a few weeks ago it is find- ing two or more today. The 32nd division made up of na- tional guard troops is the first to get on German soil, but that only means that it will not’be the last. When it is claimed that the Finns are under German influence, the sit- uation in Finland has reached the stage that has long been forecasted. . In these days of labor shortage those who are determined mnot to work should be made to. They have had their own way too long for their own | good. ! I From tests which have been made it is declared that lice carry the trench fever. From all reports they are like- ly to do anything, thus getting to be as bad as the Huns, i With its offensive repulsed and its grain supply gone Austria faces the! resumption of worse outbreaks than cver. The dual monarchy appears to be traveling a road filled with pit- falls. Attention is being called to the fact that the countries to which the con- scientious objectors might be sent af- ter the war would refuse to accept them. What a blow that would be to the slaves of the fatherland! There is always a class of people who figure that the government is legitimate prey and all that is neces- sary is to dig as deep as possible and get away with it. It's the getting away with it.which seems to be both- ering just now. Germany has got It, but Turkey wants the Russian Black sea fleet. ‘Bulgaria is peeved because it hasn't | brine, | cate his food properl #00_stimulating. got more of Rumania, Serbia and GGreece as Germany promised.

SUGGESTIONS FOR” THE HOUSEWIFE Spots on carpets and rugs in most instances may be removed by spong- ing with oxgall or with ammonia and water, in the first place taking care to rinse thoroughly. ‘When a little ipeck of grit or dast gets into the eve, try shutting the eye for a few minutes, or violent blowing of the nose will sometimes bring the speck out.

Eating before retiring is an* wholesome habit in most cases, oftentimes encourages and prolongs insomnia. Where a ripe apple or cup of warm milk is agreeable to digestion these are taken when there is a desire for food at this time: a glass of cool or warm water makes a good night- cap for others. Women who are highly strung and nervous oftentimes require some thing warm on retiring in order to take the blood from the brain. Such women | should never read anything very in- | teresting or exciting, since the funct- ions of the brain find it difficult to re- lax within a reasonable time. The sleeping apartment should be well ventilate with fresh air currents, which, however, 'siould not produce a direct draft over the bed. Imperfec: ventilation, that is, too little fresh air, oftentimes causes wakefulness, es- pecially where the sleeper is accus- tomed to a certain amount of fresh air daily and cannot subsist on a meager allottment, even though' the breathing is less fr("luent during sleep. A tepid bath will oftentimes producs drowsiness, where a _hot bath proves | It remains for every sufferer from insomnia to determine the cause and remedy it before the oc- casjonal wakefulness develops into a chronic state which paves the way for i serious mental disorders. un- and MARKS OF BREEDING. Learn how to use your arms. Never reserve or postpone the proper use of them until you have on a best gown and think that at that time a special gesture can be brought out to go with the gown and allure. Such a species of artificiality is always detected. Watch the hands when eating. Coarse ways of handling food, holding the teacup, lifting the spoon, are just as repellent as unpleasant munchings jered panel and seat and one walnut or mouthings. Elbows that are allow. ed to protrude while eating are also ungraceful. Never grasp a piece of bread or morsed of fruit as though. it were about to escape, and the same degree of poise (hon]d be attained in other motions, In shaking hands the woman is put to a greater ordeal than a man; heartiness on his part goes a long way, but a woman who is overhearty in her | capes and are often made of shanting. | straw, | week wore a taupe suit, a small black i whole costume, handclasp is dubbed “mannish,” which is am:!'u that iruu even the *woman's " aspi to. t is often the case that women and men shake hands holding the hnns sidewise, but correctly the man shouls put his hand out palm up apd the 'woman put hers into it palm down.

The latest handbags are made with | frames of wood. The newest corsets have Philippine work for decoration, ciasie The season's walsts show very effec- tive color combinations. Black satin and Venetian silver lace are a fine combination. New lingerie gowns are far less lacy than in other summers. French blue in demand blouses. is for Heavy twill cottons are in great de- mand. Silk faille is liked for smart summer suits. Net embroidered in high, relief is a favorite trimming on French lingerie. Collar and cuff sets for very young girls resemble those for women. Sleeveless jackets have full gathered Simple frocks of silk or chiffon have a most important place in the summer outfit. It may be that the persistence of the “cape fashion” may in a measure pre- vent a recurrence of last year's “sum- mer far’ rage. Colored umbrellas, both for rain and for shine, are in great vogue and will disport themselves most gayly at shore and mountain resor CORAL JEWELRY. One cannot overlook the effective- ness of coral with the blue serge and gray worsted costumes. Coral is cne of the most charming shades when not j overdone in costume, and this season it @ives that lrightness and contrast that. is essential with the rather sub- | dued tones of wartime frocks and tailleurs. There are long strings of coral beads, which fall over a white or pale bisque waistcoat very effectively, and there are strings of coral and dull gold, to which are attached smart lorgnettes. Coral set arrow pins are thrust through convertible coat col- lars and coral tippeg hatpins project from spring sailors of lustrous black A woman lunching at a hotel last lisere turban draped with a long taupe colored veil and black patent leather pumps, with taupe colored spats. The only bright note of color in her costume was a pair of coral earrings, the spheres of coral set close against her ear lobes beneath waves of dark hair. The warm, bright note of coral gave interest and' distinction to her otherwise quiet and neutral in tone.

You do not likessand in the house? If you have a suitable place for it, it need not make any trouble. An old kitchen table turned upside down, with the legs cut short and put gn the other side, makes a good table for sand. A piece of burlap or denim placed under the table keeps the sand from being scattered over the house. ‘With clay. a simple little cradle may be made. The child first rolls a piece into a ball, cuts it in half with a string. One of these halves forms the lower part of the cradle. The other he cuts in two, using one piece for the top, and remodeling the other into a “ball for baby.” Birds' nests with eggs can be made with clay; also apples, oranges, cups and saucers. and even animals may be attempted. ULTRA SMART ROOM. An ultra smart living reom has an extra long davenport, with long, loose seat cushions, two bolster shaped end pillows, and three oblong upright back pillows, as well as the frame uphol- stery, all done in heavy brown satin. At either end of this etands a small lamp table. There are three chairs, one black lacquer, with an embroid- framed armchair, upholstered in tap- estry. The other furnishings are a lacquered chest, a window seat. one framed portrait and voile curtains, with fringed lambrequins. 1 NEW FRUIT DISHES.

Mr. Editor: Some day: told by a very reliable citiz per- son appeared in Central Village of- fering a Liberty Bond, $50 value, for sale at a great reduction.
