She Seattle Star By, mail, out of city, Se per month; 3 moaths The continuance of the habit of soliciting public contribu tions for various enterprises is very bad political, economic and business policy at present. It should be stopped at ence. It is defeating the very purposes for which it is devised. This habit grew up during the war. It was necessary at that time. Perhaps some of the “strong-arm” measures used during that time were necessary », But this neces sity did not prevent a feeling of resentment on the part ef many persons, who were willing to gi 4s much as their means would allow, but who were dictated to by some unknown and unseen pers who made out the amounts of these contributions, his feeling of resentment was very strong by the time of the close of the war—even stronger, because it had been concealed and because no one dared face the suspicion of being unpatriotic. Nevertheless, these “drives” were all necessary, perhaps all the methods were necessary But when War ended, various semi-public, charitable, religious and litical institutions had learned valuable lessons in solicit ing funds. The war method was adapted to these new campaigns to as great an extent as possible, We have had “drives” for many things, nearly all modeled on the war-time idea of allotments, teams, etc. This idea is fundamentally wrong. Subscriptions to a memorial, or to any ' enterprise, are not, speaking generally, ind ions of loyalty. They are indications of the efficiency of these “drives. ‘The man or the business that supported the war to the > limit; that contributed a quota in each “drive”; that bought bonds “until it hurt’; that pays honest taxes and believe: in the institutions on which this country is founded, is entitled to a short armistice in this matter of contributions and should be given a chance to assist in working out the fone or two real vital problems of today unhampered by any feeling of resentment towards a continuance of war time “drives” or any other difficulties that can possibly be dispensed with. and other worthy Elinor Glyn, the writer, avers that the bareback gowns so popular today do not leave enough to the imagination. But when such gowns are worn, one really does not need any imagination. Father’s Function Should the father trundle the baby carriage on the Street, or should the mother do it ?—Successful Farming. An important problem, even in times of peace treaty and coal strike. Show us the party at the handle of th something about the "s family, provided it’s not the first baby, out for its first airing. In the latter instance it will be father doing the hansom- ig act, with his face a composite of pride, vain-glory, autoc- and idiocy. He would have the world believe that he was the whole thing—father, mother, trained nurse, doctor, if if any, and bottle, too, if the magnificent product himself is bottle-fed. In such cases, it is impossible to whether father or mother should push the perambulator, what the domestic status back home. But, after a very few airings of baby, be the latter first or just one of a multitude, it’s different. The glamor it for father has worn off, and if it’s mother who is y _ doing the trundling on the street, you can bet she’s doing the trundling at home, with father resting on his dignity as « masculine. As to which should do it on the street, there's question. In the final analysis, it’s hard manual labor, any fellow who will not relieve his wife of that i be regarded with contumely. J ‘ When K. K.

His manners are perfect. He is groomed.to the last word. He wears his clothes well.” Thanks be, that standard of measurement of young men is confined, pretty much, to Washington. The butterfly has a beautiful flight. It is groomed in lovely colors. It And, drat it! it lays eggs in the tassel of our sweet corn and we get only worms for our succotash! Good manners, a hair cut and a clean face and skill to o hold up before young men. It fits the ex-crown prince of the Huns as well as the crown prince of the British. Give us what Albert Edward thinks and aims at, and we'll tell you whether or not he’s the real thing. Vienna is like the farmer who put up a barn to hold his crop, and built it so large that he had no land left to cultivate. News that the Rumanians have evacuated Budapest probably means that there was nothing left worth send- ing home, Apparently we need hope for nothing more in Russia than decades of glorious victories by Kolchak and Yudenitch. tol» A 1 EVERE AM 1% ¢ CECTLY INFORMED THAT YOU TOLD THE MAIC CARRIER TO TAKE OFF HIS CAP WHEN He COMES INTO NOUR OFFICE HERG rd a= Ss Wwecc, DID HE ‘DO (Tt? the \I'M GLAD T HEAR IT IBECAVSE Now 1 WON'T HAVEe ba To BLACKEN HIS [> ue ae FATIGUE AND HEALTH 4 = sign that the body | ficient forces are strained and that if work is continued injury may result Patigue rest and will do much to prevent the disease Q If two vaccinations against smallpox have not taken, should a child be vaceinated a third time?
