OT more than five per cent. of the country’s present industrial and commercial activity is war busines Henry Morgenthau, former Ambassador to Turkey, de- clares that the business men of the Middle West have convinced them- eelves of the above fact from the official figures of the Department of Commerce. An American trade balance of nearly $3,000,000,000 does not have to be credited to Europe’s feverish demand for war supplies. Nineteen-twentieths of it can be set down to solid prosperity at home. The sooner wage earners and employers settle down to a deter- mination to keep that prosperity on a sound basis—unaffected by spectacular profits and wage standards temporarily developed by the war in a limited group of industries—the faster will good times arrive for all and the longer shall we have them with us. Nobody is worrying any more about the effects of the Wilson cur- Tency and tariff laws. Business is flourishing on them. All Ameri- cans of every class need to do now is to keep cool and try to welcome prosperity without crushing the life out of it. ee Villa Located Again—Headline.

HE votes of the ten Democratic members of the Senate Judi- T ciary Committee sufficed to secure a report to the Senate i ; recommending that the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis as| | - Justice of the Supreme Court be confirmed. The division of the! commitive is-taken to indicate a similar party line-up when the Senate | ag a whole votes on the confirmation. | j Meantime, however, the country should be sufficiently interested to let the Senate know the wider view of Mr. Brandeis’s nomination. Lawyers, corporation heads, financiers and college presidente | have discussed Mr. Brandeis quite freely. From this discussion, as we have suid before, the larger public has been able to draw pretty shrewd conclusions as to the interests and elements that find him least to their taste, But Mr. Brandeis is not to sit on the Supreme Bench solely for the satisfaction of lawyers and financiers. And be it noted that the! most mature and distinguished college president the country has among its living men is etrongly of the opinion that Mr. Brandeis will make an admirable Supreme Court Justice. : Now that the Senate Committee has made its report it becomes more than ever proper for that considerable part of the nation which lies outside Bar Associations and marble halls of finance to express itself. If the Senate listens it will confirm the Brandeis nomination with something more than a party vote. _—_—_——--— The City of New York and the Borough of Richmond have opened a war theatre in the archipelago of the Kill van Kull.

Behold, they come in many patterns and in divers materials; for there are men of wood and men of stone, and men of putty, yea and some which are “all wool and a yard wide. And a wise damsel can but choose her material and MAKE her own “Model” therefrom. I charge thee, therefore, be not hasty in thy judgment, nor set thine heart upon a man because he 1s pleasant to look at and easy to admire, v h, For when romance hath fled, and sentiment is no more, respect shall still hold the Mnks of love together. I charge thee, choose not a man, because thou lovest him to madness, Dut rather because thou likest him in all sanity. For, it 1s easy to love a man blindly, but thou must like him with thine eyes wide open; and in the vicissitudes of matrimony thou shalt need a FRIEND! I charge thee, choose not a man because he 1s brilliant, but rather because he {s KIND; nor because he is clever, but rather because he ts modest; nor because he is brave, but rather because he is self-sacrificing. For an {deal husband {s not one that talketh glittering nothings upon a summer evening, but one that urizeth and taketh the cream from off the dumb-waiter on a winter morning. - I charge thee choose not a man because thou admirest his raiment, | and his taste in waistcoats; but rather because he admireth THY elothes, and approveth thy taste in all things. For it is easier to live happily with a man who shaveth but three times a week, than with one who sneereth at thy hats, and glanceth at thy new frocks only to make mock of them. And what woman would not rather be hated as a “fiend” than ecofted at as a “frump”? I charge thee, choose not a man because he possesseth much money, and rejoiceth to spend it; but rather because he possesseth a good job and SAVETH his substance. For, a man with both time and money {s Satan's pet plaything ang every woman's game; but a hard-working man hath no leisure for elthe I charge thee, ‘choose not a man who applaudeth the way In whtva. thou doest things, but rather one who In th upon doing things for THER, For, in double-harness of matrimony, it 1s easy for one to lean back in the shafts and cry “Bravo!” while the other taketh the hills. Vertly, verily, my Daughter, for the journey of matrimony a foolist’ damsel chooseth a chiffon sunshade, but a wise woman seeketh a Cotton Umbrella, which shall shteld her from the storms to come and serve as a staff over the rough places. For a thing of Beauty 1s a TOY forever! —¢o— Selah. It is no man’s business if he has gentus or not. Work he must, whatever he is, but quietly and steadily; and the natural and en- forced results of such work will always be the thing that God meant him to do, and will be his best. If he be a great man, they will be great things; but always, if thus peacefully done, good and right. —RUSKIN.

"Go to it!" His Majesty would say, pointing with his thumb, and the poor dubs would themselves to death bullding pyramids and such like. ‘There was room enough inside the wall at Nineveh for everybody in the country, including the horses and the dogs and the cows—that is, everybody but the army.

Those Middle Age boys would fight—heavens, yes!—but you couldn't get one of ‘em to take a pick and undermine a tower.
