| THE SEATTLE. STAR Neer Good-Bye, Old Ways When we went into war we said farewell t old days of peace and ease We went into a job of hard work. It was curtait dim lights for what had been We said goodbye to the old ways, t Many of us didn’t suspect at the time that we were clos ing the book on things as they we But we were We will have peace some day—peace with victory for democracy. But a lot of th we had in the peace left t hind we will not have in the peace to come And most of them we will not want We are going to do tl tly in the new peace.

We are going to regulate 1 istration for war purposes. We are going pu on gambling in food. Does any one think that once ; had a theftless food market we will ever go back to the old kind? Today Uncle Sam is saying to producers of war com modities: So much shall you charge, and no more, Will Uncle Sam ever again stand for the good old scandals we used to read so much about? Not if we know Un And we are learning how to eat—for the t time in our lives. We are arting’ to eat less and to count the cost of what we eat. The drilling we get in proper cating during the war will stay with us. We will be a stronger race when peace comes War is going to purge our souls. War is going to clean ts up. We have got to be 100 per cent fit in war. We shall femain 100 per cent fit in peace That will be one of the greatest of war's blessings. War ig the great purifier in many ways.

It’s a Fact---About Fiction Most people read fiction nowadays—and most people who talk about fiction at all have the idea there is being poured out upon us each year a flood of fiction But, to the surprise of most, if there ever was a “flc fiction” it is at ebb tide—and ebbing strong In 1895 20.3 per cent of books published were fiction Last year’s figures show only 8.91 per cent fiction This gives rise to interesting questions.
