Lemberg is a key to Ga- eontrol places the bolsheviki Ukrainia and to give the Poles much worry over the pssibilities of a new of- fensive. Because of the advantage thus obtained it may well give that whole re- gion anxiety lest there be a spread of bolshevism which the Polish-Ukrainian barrier had been expected to stop. The pendulum has been swinging back and forth in that part of the world for some time. Just at present it is not favorable to the opponents of soviet Russia. THE TWO-THIEDS RULE. That the democrats should have so much more difficulty in selecting a can- didate for president and that they should be required to have so many ballots is due to a large extent to the fact that under the rules governing the demacratic conventions a majority of two-thirds as required to pominate. This differs from the rules of the republican comvention in- asmuch as the latter are governed by the majority rule and the candidate re- ceiving one more than haif the votes is named. It can be appreciated that it is much easler to get a majority than it is to get two-thirds of the votes. In the convention just closed it does not appear that the two-thirds rule rob- bed any of the candidates of the nomi- nation, although elght years ago on many of the ballots Champ Clark received a majority of the votes only to have the nomination thrown to President Wilson when enough votes were released to him to give him two-thirds. The two-thirds rule is one of long standing in democratic conventions. It was adopted away back in 1832 through the influence of Martin Van Buren who sought it to help his nomination for viece president. It was brought up in 1844 to secure’ the nomination of Polk over Van Buren and in many conventions it has been the cause of much feeling. There was a time last week when Cox was within striking distance of the ma- jority could he have gotten the vote of such a state as Pennsylvania, or when MeAdoo would have been able to reach the goal with the votes of New York state had it been neeessary to get only a majority, but with the two-thirds ma- jority required nothing but a deadlock can be faced as long as candidates hold- Ing the votes that the three democratic leaders did remain in a contest. The fact that none but the winner secured a ma- Jority of the votes probably means that the life of the rule will not suffer severe attack as the resuit of the convention just ended even theugh there eontinues to he stronz eppesition to it. SAFE AND SANE RESULTS, Onee more thers is caus: for tharks- giving over the freedsm of accidents from fireworks during tae celebration of the Fourth. It was decidedly in eoatrast to a few vears ago when thers was a long list of injured, some seriously and some fatally. The ame conclusion is that there has been accepted the golden ad- vice contained in the efforts back of the sane and safe observation of the national holiday, and that there is a recognition of the fact that it does nmot require the parting with gn eve, a leg, a finger, or a life in order to properly celebrate the birthday anniversary of this country. It was not a day free from noise for there was plenty of /it, but there did ap- pear to be an absence of cannon reperts, a decrease in the number of pistols used Cland a more careful use of such noise making devices as were employed. The change is in accord with common sense. Never has there been an intimation that there should be any eurtailment of the enthusiasm displayed in the day’s ob- servance. The campaign has been waged against the useless waste of life and limb when patriotic sentiment can be just as well displayed without subjecting each other to the needless hazards. It re- quired a number of years to get the peo- ple awakened to the advisability of the abandoning the dangerous methds of cel- ebrating but it has accomplished itg ob- jects as is shown by the elimination of the death list from explosions and the large reduction in the Rumber injured, to say nothing of the relief to worrying parents. As an extension eof this movement which has shown such goed results there might well Row be a concentration of ef- forts for a reduetion in the number of automobile accidents and drownings which inyariably feature such a holiday It is time that suffiicent attention was directed to such a worthy understanding as to win the recognition and the coop- eration of all who are inelined to be careless or those disposed to take chances regarding personal safety. EDITORIAL NOTES. It is a leng convention that has no ending. ‘With the Féurth of July over it is a straight race for Labor day now. It was 2 lucky thing they didn't de- pend upon Cummings to release his dele- gates. “The war is over” is frequently re- marked, but you wouldn't know it from the prices. The democrats are not able to econo- mize even when it comes to shortening up a natienal convention. Hostile aliens who can now leave the country without a permit wore out their welcome a long time ago. It is probably bothering the Turk na- tionalists te think that they cannot call upon Germany for assistance. I After all the failures in that direction it is a joke for the democratic platform to premise to make the profiteers stop. i The man on the corner says: There cannat be much of a quarrel between states as to which will have the next president. Mr. McAdoo could have ended the struggle much gquicker had he insisted that he would not have accepted the nomination. The Turkish nationalists who seized American missionaries probably figure they can collect ransoms just as well as the Mexicans. A eity in Indiana is preparing to drive a lot of undesirables from town. This means inflicting on eothers what they can’t make behave. I The coal operators don’t like the prior- ity orders because they shut off the ex- port of coal, but when the miners strike they have to lump it. Germany would like to see the allies get into a squabble amongst themselves over the division of the reparation pay- ments when they come. The eduecator who says that the time is coming when there will pe school twelve months in the year needs to start right in to cenvinee the children.

How did it tura out?” “1 finally stored up enough courage to ered Annabel. “I was the only applicant. Of course, I got the job. Everybody who read the ad, I suppose, thought the woman must be crazy. I thought so, too. But I knew from the address that she lived in a good neigh- borhood and that if she looked queer when she answered my ring at her door- bell I could make a quick getaway.” “You interest me strangely,” said Mar- fon. for a phonograph chauffeur. “That's exactly what Mrs. Goodspeed wanted," explained Annabel. “Just what she advertised for. She needed a chauf- feur for her phonograph—one t3 sit at the ‘machine and feed in the re- cords and steer the needle in the right direction and keep the things going till it gets somewhere.” “Couldn’t this Mrs. Goodspeed engineer her own phonograph? Has she got weak arms or can't her eyes read the names on the records?” Marion was inquisitive. “She’s the strongest, healthiest, pretti- est woman you ever saw,” said Annabel. “When she operied the door I nearly faint- ed, because I was expecting a wild eyed, straggly creature ready for the lumatic asylum. I had a tight hold on my purse prepared for a mad dash to the street. She was in a trailing soft pink negligee affair— ‘Oh, I see, she wanted to lie on her couch and have somebody continue soft musie.” “Anything but! contradirted Anna- bel. “She does her own housework— every lick of it—of course, with the aid of electric washers and vacuum sweepers and all these' things. Bnt she does it. Only she has to have music going on so that she can work rythmiclly. Otherwise she pulls the sweeper in awkward jerks or makes the beds with a tense back—I mean it makes her own back tense. “While music floats upstairs to the bed- rooms or down to the laundry she turns each domestic duty into an interpretive dancy. That’s the way she acquired such poise. a grace. She wouldn't employ a maid becanse then she might flop in an easy chair and get set and fat.

FACTS EEGARDING THE CARE OF THE BABY 8. Public Health Service. By T. HOW TO HANDLE A BABY. A baby must always be handled care- fully. His bones are still part cartilage and they bend and break easily. Other bad effects of too much or careless hand- ling are sore and painful muscles which make a baby cross. Handling after eat- ing upsets the digestion. Jolting, bounc- ing and rocking make a child excitable and nervous. A young baby cannot turn himself over. His muscles get very tired if they remain top long in one position. When he is taken up for feeding or cleansing, to side, or from lying on his back to ly- ing on his stomach. But always the head and back must be kept straight and the arms and legs free. The ears should be kept straight and flat on the head. The eyes should be protected from direct light. To hold a young baby on one arm, lay him flat on his back on your left arm supporting the neck and head with the palm of the hand and fingers, and press- ing his body close to your body with the left elbow. Never throw a baby over the shoulder. A baby should not be encouraged to try to hold up his own head until he is four months old or to sit up until he is six months old. The spine, neck and head always should be supported. Never pick a child up by the arms. Grasp him firmly by the shoulders or body. In walking with an older child do net walk too fast nor cmpel him to reach up to take your hand. It is very tiring to walk in that position. GLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES. Certain labor leaders, for instance, are saying: “If the Irish want an independ- ent republic, why should they not have it?” One reason why they should not is that if Ireland were independent and hostile and available as a base for an emy, Great Britain could not be de- fended. All the freedom znd security that her sons fought and died for in the war would in effect be lost. This is not done with Captain Fryatt's ship? . The Rev. T. Varney, of St. Cedd’s, Canning Town, is ready” with a suggestien, which he hands in at the office window. “Let it be brought up the Thames, moored near Dagenham dock, under the eare of the navy league, and lent to our growing naval cadet units for Saturday after- noons, week-ends and holidays. At pres- ent the lads of this district have no ac- cess to the waterside, and have to seek the hospitality of church halls, ete., for naval instruction, drill ete. Could there be any more appropriate nursery . than the Brussels for our future Charlie Fry- atts of the mercantile marine,\ or Jack Cornwalls of the Royal navy?’ Profitable Insurance.—There is a gen- eral impression that insurance business is profitable, and confirmation of this is to be found in the auditor-general's report on government trading. From August 1914 to March 1919 the war risks premiums received exceeded the payments on account of losses by £10,- 917,245 for aircraft and £22,609,685 fot rine insurance. The surplus will no doubt be substantially reduced by the payment of outstanding claims, but it is evident, says Sir Henry Gibson, that the final outcome will show a large profit to the British government. Salisbury Septegary.—At Salisbury to- day the septenary of the founding of cathedral, and city is being celebrated. The double event dates from 1220, when the ancient Norman church of the unit- ed sees of Ramsbury and Sherborne, within the fortifications of Old Sarum, was superseded. Richard Poore, who knew something of both wealh and pov- erty, founded the present cathedral on a virgin site, and around it grewr the monastic and lay population of a New Sarum, or Salisbury. The cathedral is perhaps the most surpassing of all in ef- fect—externally. Lincoln s its only rival, and internally Linceln excels. The spire of SaNsbury is the tallest in this country, and unique in the werld, be- cause, while 27 inches out of perpendieu- lar its gracefulness and strength have not suffered thereby. Germans in London—The Germans are coming back to London, as there is now no reason why they sheuld net. They may be seen, and heard, frequently in the West-end nowadays, and in some of the suburbs, particularly at Richmond, where there was a flourishing German eolony before the war. A point which strikes one about their coming is Whether they ever look for signs of the enormous dam- age to public buildings in Lendon which used regularly to be announced to them by the imperial government during the war as having been inflicted by the Zep- peling and Gothas. If they do, they musi be learning at last the actual value of many, of their war communigues. The Lincoln Statue.—The statne of Abraham Linceln is nearly ready for un-| veiling.

He looked at it eritically. “Yes" she chir- ruped, “it's real old-fashioned. Just look at the flowers—poppies, petunias and nas- turtiums—and see, here this wheat.” “Uh, huh” said the husband, with a nod of approval. “but if you want to have a popular hat why don’t you have them change the wheat for rye?” Thirteen to One. | | At the Baptist church the Boy Scouts | were giving a demonstration and among | other ‘things were illustrating an early {morning at summer camp.

IN THE DAY’S NEWS Our Oil Supply. ‘Why are we worried about ofl? Our future oil supply is a question which is troubling captains of industry and scientists, yet tthe reasons for this concern are not generally understood by the average citizen. George Otis Smith, director of the U. 8. Geological Survey, explains, in a communication to the National Geographic Seciety: “In the course of the eenturies the| raw-material issue changes. In the| long-bow epoch of England’s military | strength the conservationist feared a depletion of the yew wood which might give the Teuton, backed up by his|H larger forests, an obvious advantage in ilight ordnance. Later, when Great Britain’s naval power depended upon her wooden ships of war, the anxious naval chief foresaw a possible short- age of the oak which made the walls that stood between England and her enemies, “Today these who plan fer the future prosperity of their nation realize the extent to which other raw materials are essential to the general well being, and for some of these we can see no adequate substitutes. “Foremost among these most useful \nother Ghronic Gas of Rheumatism Yields o Treatment of Var-ne-sis W.
