If we do ignore it, what then? | “We are drifting,” warns Humphrey, “toward preciated race—a huge, incoherent proletariat, ridden a handful of plutocrats whose culture savors of a splendid degeneracy. “We are followirig the beaten paths of the ages. we need not follow it a day longer than we choose. “The first move toward regenerating the race is to cut off unfit parenthood.” 4 Food for deep and earnest thought; isn’t it? It’s Bossie’s Turn | OBBIN HAVING BEEN practically. retired from the scene of action by the multitudinous Elizabeths that crowd every city thorofare, Henry Ford is now predicting that Bossie will soon follow suit. | True, she Jas been the honored foster-mother of the hu-| man race for countless ages, but that is all the more reason | | why she should be relieved of her arduous duties and given la chance to rest for “an aeon or two,” and Ford proposes to |make this possible. He declares that his laboratories have demonstrated that better milk can be made from the same ingredients by ma- chinery than Bossie can produce by her time-honored but now obsolete methods. So it is only a question of time when the song of the milk- maid will no longer be heard in the land and Bossie may roam the pratries at will with never a thought of milking time. 3 Instead of tripping lightly down the lane with a sunbon- net on her arm and a shining pail in her hand, chanting} the lilting melodies of other days, the milkmaid will simply turn a faucet and the foaming lacteal fluid will pour forth to satisfy the need of the human race for nature's first and best food. Masquerading Furs IONE might wonder where the leopards are found for all the leopard skin coats now fashionable. It might be ‘doubted that there are enough leopards m/| the world to provide even the leopard skins for stage| {dancers and actors in the movies. The supply might not! equal the demand even if the leopard shed his coat for the} furrier, and grew a new one each fall. The answer? Many skims that pass as leopard are dyed coats of the lowly, unsung goats! Bear-skin coats also in large numbers originated on the backs of Billy-goats. So, with many other skins and furs. The demand is so} great that if all the furs were authentic, the demand could not be filled. | Rabbit masquerades as sable, or ermine, and when} sheared and dyed, as seal.

With- out hook or net or spear! It is far beyond the wildest fish story an Ike Walton could concoct. When the Balboa drydock gates are opened fish swim in, and are left stranded when the water is pumped out. Pick ‘em up and carry ‘em home. Other day a school of fish swam in. Dock workers ca ried off all they wanted, and the commissary division took '650 pounds of fresh fish, leaving three tons to be scooped }up and tossed back over the gate But, of course, no real fisherman would give a hang about fishing with a scoop shovel! the Automddile habit will shorten man’s legs and make his h | time, says Levi B.

When she accepted ber lofty situation and took a position in which it would be extremely inconvenient for her to face about, she bad the impression that the City of Washington was going to grow in the other direction, and she wanted to look where there was most to see.
