The incompe- tency of those who drafted the ‘rider’ to the war revenue act of 1917 which provided the zone system is shown in nost the following anomalous condition: A quantity of newspapers or magazines, made up and billed through by the publisher to a point west of the Mis- cissippd will under the new law cost approximately eight cents per copy. A single copy of the same periodical, dropped in a street box, collected and ‘worked’ through the post office and delivered to thé addressee, will cost but four cents! “It is & curious situation when wholesale ma‘ling by publishers costs double that ef single copy mailing by a private citizen, particularly when the argument for the pussage of the zone law wag simply to secure ‘cost of service. “This 1s the patriotism of the press paralyzed by shortsighted legislators.” e, oo, PERHAPS WE NEED THEM. There are so few people who are conscious of just what the patriotic duty of a citizen is, it is more than probable that Jane O'Ryan's “Ten Commafdments of Loyalty,” written to the New York World, will find a welcome herz in New England: 1. You cannot serve both democ- racy and autocracy. 2. Honor our allies, who have borne the brunt of the war so long and so valoriously. 3. Griefs and privations you shall bear in a spirit becoming our great cause. 4. You shall give your best to your 5. You szhall money. 6. You shall write letters of cheer and appreciation to our men in the service, 7. You. shall requested by win the war. 8. Do not let prejudice blind you to the accomplishments of your Zov- ernment and cause you to belittle its hievements. Remember to gzive generously and continuailly to the Red Cross. 10. Remember to invest liberally in i y Bonds and in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. These are worthy of being honored as well as bting preserved. BREAKING RECORDS.

Whoever buys this place will have an ideal home. Just notice the view to the south-" “I don’t care ‘two cents about the view to the south or the north, either,” said the prospective pur- chaser, gloomily. “I always get sus- picious when a man who wants to sell a house begins talking of the view. It looks te me as though he was teying to distract the customer’s attention from the real matter at is- sue. I am not in the market for a view; it's a house I want, and I want to be sure that the roof doesn't leak and that the windows will work in their frames. “Of course you want to sidetrack me by talking of the view so I won't notice whether the plaster is in good shape. It reminds me of a horse 1 bought e&everal years ago. The man who sold me that horse kept bragging of the animal's legs and' got me so in- terested in those legs that I never no- ticed that the old plug was blind in both eyes. I have no doubt you're try- ing to work a similar game: but I'm older and wiser than I was then. “I have no game of any kind,” s the house owner, with dignity. “You can say what you like, but when a man is buying a property for himself and his family he should consider the view. It takes more than boards and brick and mortar to make a real home, and such an extensive view as we have here——" “You're bound to work off your view on me, hey? I'm more interested in this staiew: Whoever built it bad his head on wrong. I never saw such a crooked stairway. A man would need to be a contortionist to go up and down it and a woman wouldn't have any show at all, nnless she a trapeze performer.

From that porch one can see the Des Plaines river for miles and the mud flats on this side of it. I have seen men fairlv moved to tears when gazing over that remarkable landscape, and hundreds have commented upon the view—-" “You just can’t get away from your blamed old - view, can you?

And yhy in the world did you have a trap door over the cellar stairway? A trap door is about the worst man trap vet_in- vented. 1'lived in a house that had one a couple of years ago, and some- body was always leaving that door open, and then somebody else was al- ways falling down into the cellar till I had to rig up a derrick to hoist the victims cut again. A house with a trap door in it needs something better than a -fine view as an offset.” 'm sorry you don’t appreciate the view. You are the only man I ever met who could contemplate that view without emotion. If you look from the west window you can see the canning factory and the stockyards in the dis- tance, while in the foreground you be- hold the jargest brickyard in the state.

The newest tribute to the airman is to say that he has “good hands” and to imply that he manipulates his ma- chine as he would handle the reins of a horse with a sensitive mouth. The analogy is not very appropriate. The “good hands” in the case are those of the motorist. Good hands, combined with light, quick feet prevent the motorist's chopping and notching his gears; they prevent his starting away with a jump, they enable him to change speed noiselessly, to let in his clutech so that the drive is taken up imperceptibly; they prevent his tyres from having their studs stripped out the transmission strained, and make gear-box and differential last as long as the car. The prowess of the Northumberland Fusiliers in assisting to withstand the Austrian attack and capture 1,000 pri- soners is well in keeping with the glorious traditions of the “PFighting Fifth."
