Our Twentieth Century Civilization EVENTEEN MEN were arrested and sent to the stock- ade at Seattle Monday because they had gone into res- taurants, ordered food, eaten it, and failed to pay because they » had no money. Let us not point the finger of scorn-too-severely at blood- 7 soaked Europe. Our own civilization is but a bubble, easily punctured. Our vaunted education, culture, science, art, and progress are but a thin veneer. It may be a good thing to send those 17 to the stockade. Be that as it may. But let not 20th century civilization boast too loudly when, in a land capable of plenty for all its 90,000,- ' 000 inhabitants, there exist hunger and unemployment. We're still ruled by the stone-age law of claw and fang, of might being right, and fat and prosperous, while the weaker brother starves for want of surplus wealth lying idle in the vaults and storehouses of the ultra-rich.

We Are Not Masters of Our Fates HESE critical events in Europe, with their wonderful strokes and counter-strokes, just below the surface, ought to make everybody “bugs” on this war. It is only occasionally that we can see the inner motives. If there were some one here, with second sight, who could explain no more than the main subtleties, what a day- by-day story there would be to tell! Probably not until your great-grandchildren and mine investigating the records will many of the secrets now created get their first publicity. And all we can do now is to sit back and give a puny © guess or two while civilization is remaking itself. How bind ess moves. WE ARE NOT THE MASTERS OF OU ES. Scarcely, indeed, are we out of the primal state of awe and wonder, and still so pitifully helpless.

I T’S difficult to decide just where to place sympathy in the divorce case brought by Mrs. Eugenie Solo- taroff, in New York supreme court, against her William, on the ground that he has aphasia. According to the lady's they agreed on the day for the was 90 upeet by it that he couldn’t work, and was going to Europe to think it over. o William had sparked her for eight long years and never got a kiss until withing, The kiss went to Bill’s head, and next day he wrote her that he A kiss after eight years of faithful courting evidently floored Bill for keeps; for, at the altar, she says, he was one hour late, had on a red necktie, hadn’t shined his shoes and acted as if he were going to be hanged instead of mar- ried. Then, at comedy shows, instead of laughing and being companionable, Bill passed the time gnawing his finger nails. Of course you have to sympathize with a lady who gets a — like that, but isn’t there some ex- cuse for a fellow who gets a kiss that’s eight years in the cooking?
