3 montha $1.1 ity, 306 8 mk y Cue for Northwest The conspicuous fact about Gen. Byng’s great drive is it it was a surprise to the Germans, as claimed by the tish and admitted by the Germans themselves, Along a sector of some 30 miles, Gen. Byng collected huge force, including a score of the mighty “tanks,” , Without the usual warning by heavy preliminary illery work, “went over the top,” including the first of Teuton defenses, before the Germans woke up.

McKee, pastor of a Methodist chureh at Syracuse, N. Y. _ We agree with him. “who doesn’t. The Rev. Mr. McKee goes farther. He tells us what Mbination is necessary to make one of these “heaven's gifts.” “The ideal wife,” he explains, “is a home maker, a ce maker, an intellectual companion, an industrious co- ‘worker, and a restful woman. % Have you one in your home? If not, why not? There are some several million ideal in these United States. And there would be more millions of them, we confi- believe, if there were more ideal husbands. The same Abination which goes to make the ideal wife meets with idea of the ideal husband. The man who is a good home maker (yes, indeed, men "be home makers, too), a peace maker (men can do also), intellectual companion, an industrious co- 1, and a restful man, is an ideal husband. Most often you'll find that the ideal husband has an wife. Exceptions? Of course, but they convince us we're right in our assertion.
