And, instead of bringing home his bride, will he settle down in the impoverished, depopulated land that has borne the brunt of the! fighting and give it to his children? | Certain French publicists are urging this somewhat startling method of reconstruction. “America, who has given us so much, surely will not, grudge a few citizens and potential citizens,” is the burden of the plea.| And others assure the fair maids of France that their siren song will 60! fill the ears of the American boy in khaki as to banish all thoughts of home and tho girls at homo, | “How about it?” Lasked Mrs. John Francts Yaweer, President of the New | York City Federation of Women’s Clubs, Chairman of the Women's Divi- sion of the State\Republican Committee and closely in touch with all sorts | ot war activities and with the women and girls of New York. “Must we serve the needs of our Allies, even in the matter of husbands?" ! “We women will save sugar, wheat, meat and send them to France,”) declared Mrs. Yawger, “but when 1t comes to supplying the French women | with husbands we draw the Iine!

Bright Boys One Boyhood Day Her bie Hoover Lost Out on the Ice-Cream— Which Is Why He Now Is Making It a Cold Day for Adult Gourmets! N° Herbert, though quite often good, was naughty sometimes, and of men and the industrial shorts he would do things his mamma told him not to and not the things she said he'd got to, at So once, when Herbie had been bad, instead of walloping the lad as almost any parent might, she made him go to bed that night without his supper, and what's more, the others had ice cream galore, This punishment may seem severe, but walt a moment till you hear the nature of the frightful sin that Herb was caught red-banded in. It was an awful crime, Great Caesar! The kid had gone and robbed the freezer! And Nora had to freeze an- other to satisfy Herb’s dad and mother. Well, anyway, Herb lay in bed, and then and there he planned, {t's said, to get revenge on ma and dad, Before he went to sleep he had a thought that pointed out the way to even up the score some day. Have wo neglected to point out that Herbert was without a doubt a member of’the Bright Boy Club and not by any means a dub? If so, let's now correct the error, Young Herbert was a holy terror, Right here, in confidence, of course, and guarding carefully the source of such important information (which isn't meant for publication), we venture to reveal a fact which, if U's challenged, we'll retract: Tho }-e> author of the Great World War was neither Kaiser Billhelm nor his dec- j#*orated princelings, but our little Herbert, who—(tut, tut, please whisper \c-when you say such things)—sicked on the emperors and kings. 1 That self-same night when Herb was sent all supperless to bed he! bent his mind upon the course he'd take to stir the nations up and make \2* them hate and curse and claw and bite and wreck each other in the fight. i vin Because—(oh, Herbert was a wiz)—he knew that vengeance would be his le Ywhen everybody's eats ran shy and even rich men couldn't buy, with all their politics and pull, enough to keep their waistcoats full, We're sorry now that Herbie’s ma with full connivance of his pa was crac! to the IMtle geeser that day he burglartred the freezer.
