These three are major matters. On their righteous determination depends the future of humanity, the well-being of the common man. Give us as America’s voices men who can visualize the good of future generations. é Men who can see beyond the immediate today, who can catch the blush of tomorrow's dawn. Meet the New Emergency Germany’s assault on civilization found the world, in- cluding the United States, militarily unprepared to properly resist. . Advocates of preparedness in the United States found] little sympathy for months after the war broke over Europe.’ America was finally awakened ‘to the danger to liberty, and democracy. ‘ The emergency was grandly met, as all the world knows. It was quickly met, too. But while it was being met those who urged prepared- ness for peace were wet- keted. “This war may last five or ten years,” the objectors to preparation of business and industrial plans declared. “We have no time now to make peace-time plans in the midst of a great war.” ; bh They were just as blind as those who in peace-time wouldn't prepare to meet the German war menace. Now that the war is ended we find ourselves in need of a definite industrial and business program. It isn’t here. We didn’t make it when it should have been made. We'll be compelled to work hard and swiftly to meet the situation thus created. Of course, we'll meet it grandly and well, no doubt. That's the American way. But after this let’s tie a tin can to the fellow who doesn’t believe in preparedness today for tomorrow. A Crack at the U. S. At the peace conference, Norway will present claims for damages against Germany for destruction of some 900 merchant vessels by U-boats, and other neutrals and the South American states will probably take similar action. It is just as probable, also, that that conference will have to deal with an insistent vigorous demand from Eng- land and France for the heavy punishment of those respon- sible for and directly concerned in such U-boat barbarities as the sinking of hospital and passenger vessels and the in- human attacks upon their crews. It is known that authori- ties in France and England have kept full lists of these U-boat outrages, with proofs as to the details, and the de- mand for penalty may even include execution of the late kaiser and his bl gang of Hun autocrats who ad- vised the “frightfulness.” There has been, thus far, little intimation as to what Washington's attitude toward these matters will be, nor has there been any solidification of American sentiment in respect of them. It is permitted to hope, however, that one result of the peace agreement will be the abandonment of the submarine as a destructive war instrument, by all the nations, just as civilization has brought about abandonment of prize head-hunting, poisoning of wells and other sheer barbarities. The whole world ought to come out of this war with the doctrine “Anything’s fair in love or war” pretty well shot to pieces, as to war. The “love” part of it is an- other story. | Food Profiteering The government, in keeping check on the advance in re-| tail prices on basic food commodities, has discpvered that Seattle and Baltimore lead the nation. Prices here and in Baltimore advanced 23 per cent. Why is it? Seattle is on the western rim of the continent. more is on the eastern coast. Portland, Ore., and San Francisco prices advanced 20 and 20.6 per cent respectively. The figures are humiliating. * The easy way would be to forget Uncle Sam’s statistics —but the easy way is the dangerous way. If we of Seattle are developing a gluttonous appetite for profit out of keeping with the other gluttons of the f nation, it is time that we put on the brakes. Seattle can- ] * not afford to hold the reputation of chief ‘food profiteer. i We are on the threshold of huge industrial development. We want contented workers. We dan’t want Seattle blighted by Profiteers in necessities of life. New Stuff! There’s reaction and reaction. For example, there’s reaction from democratic methods for doing things. That’s good stuff. It’s American majority stuff, too. / Balti- e autocratic to Contrary-minded persons, please take notice in time. | } Get off the track, there! j , * Then there’s reaction to the rule of the few in public and general affairs. That’s old stuff. No more of that, please. the new stuff is the all-get-together doctrine. In the war we were all comrades, all Americans. It! was one for all and all for one and everybody for the job. 4nd so the job was done and well done, at that. In peace it must be the same. We must be “a’ John Thompson’s bairns,” with no favorites in the family, all the candy and nobody spilling the beans between the kitchen and the table. Pass the good stuff along. That's the way to celebrate the end of the war. Feed the Germans? Why, certainly! ‘ dish of crow,-please. m , Peon Europe's new slogan seems to be: “Pass the beans,” BY J. R. GROVE (N, KB. A.

You win. Your motherim law's request is absurd, and positively footish. If she doesn't lke to have her mail mixed, let her continue using the Initials of her dead husband. He Accepted Lift; Best Girl Angry Dear Mime Grey: A few nights ago I had taken my girl friend to her residenco and was returning home at a late hour, While | was standing waiting for a car, a middle aged lady asked me to ride to town My friend is very angry over this little incident Was [ right or wrong? I got home in 20 minutes, otherwise it would have taken me 45 if I had waited for the car. JAMES, It was perfectly proper for you to avail yourself of the stranger's kindness under the circumstances. I fear your friend's brain ig somewhat hide bound. Twenty years ago she might have had some cause for becoming angry. But 20th cen tury broad-mindednens, together with the abundance of automo biles and the poor street car ser- vice, makes It quite [proper to ac cept a lift from @ generous motorist. Interested in Power of Mind Dear Miss Grey: Could you tefl me where I Id find out about mental telepathy? Could a person be hypnotized thru mental telepathy a person having the power of hypnotism? 7M. Telepathy ix the transference of thought from one mind to an other, thru space, while hypno tism is the power by which a person controls the mind and body of another. Books on both subjects may be found at the public Mbrary. Christmas Presents to Be Made at Home Dear Mins Grey: Will you kindly suggest a few Christrnas gifts for high school girl that could be made at home, at @ small expense? DORA AND ALICE. ‘There is no limit to the num- ber of inexpensive articles you can make for her. Christmas gifts for girls which can be made at home with a bit of sttk, ribbon or lace, and a little inge- nuity are: Boudoir caps, pin cushions and aprons, in every conceivable shape and color, are always sure of a welcome, Rage! from laundry to mchet, are y to make, and detight | the® heart of any girl, Hand kerchiefs, coat bangers covered with gay ribbon, book markers, pen wipers, novelty hangers | made of ribbon-covered embroid- | ery heops, face chamois in faney shapes, trimmed with lace or ribben, are some others that coukl be made at home. |She Bawls Out Undesirable Employers Dear Miss Grey: The man who would “request,” demand” or other |dresmed on @ salary of $14 per | week, knowing that ahe must board herself out of that miserable sum, should be reported.
