It was curtains and dim lights for what had been. We said good by to the old ways, too. We will have peace some day—peace with victory for democracy. But a lot of things wo had in the peace left behind we will not have in the peace to come. And most of them we will not want. We arc going to do things more efficiently in the new peace. We are going to take better care of ourselves. And so, entirely aside from the great question of world democracy, we are going to have a better democ racy among ourselves. . We arc net going to stand for a lot of the robbery we used to put up with. We are going to regulate food administration for war purposes. We arc going to put the brakes on gambling in food. Does anyone think that once having had a theft less food market we will ever go back to the old kind! Today Uncle Sam is preparing to say to producers of war commodities: Bo much shall you charge, and no more. Will Uncle Sam ever again stand for the good old scandals we used to read so much about if Not if we know our unde. And we are to learn how to eat -for the first time in our live. Wo are to learn to eat less and to count the cost of what we eat. The drilling we get in proper eating during the war will stay with us. We will be I stronger race when peace comes. War is going to purge our souls. War is going to clean us up. We have got to be l<)0 per cent fit in war. Wo shall remain 1(X) per cent fit in peace. That will be one of the greatest of war's blessings. War is the great purifier in many ways. It is good to think about these blessings of the peace to come. Tt will help us thru the trials of the war. That is strong which has not a multitude, but one strong man behind it. —Lowell. Why Girls Go Wrong Of course it's a very old question—and some people despair of ever finding the answer. When Ruth Cruger disappeared in New York the police, hardened t<> crime, concluded Ruth was a bad girl and didn't trouble themselves over much about what happened to her. A woman lawyer concluded Ruth was a good girl and looked for the tracks of a man in the case. She suddenly gave the police a very stunning sur prise. Grace Humteton believes most girls are inher- ently good. So they are. And so are most men. Most human beings are inherently good. JJut a great many persons get into surround ings in which it is very difficult to be good and they are switched from the paths of virtue and honestly and decency. Most cases of humanity gone wrong lead back to some kind of sodden surroundings, back to ignorance and bad influences. Every Ruth Cruger case is a red hot argument for striking back at conditions that tempt people to do wrong— or drive them to. Education is one of the most powerful weapons against wrong-doing. Most crimes against the person are committed by the ignorant, by the desperate, or by mental weaklings. Fill the human mind with knowledge, give the human body enough good food and pure air and sunlight and you drive a mighty force for decency into the stronghold of evil. I With a tax of $60 a hundred pounds on grain used 1 for booze, plain old red-eye will likely take the place of champagne in popularity among our "gilded fools." Exile—A Just Punishment To a man who loves this country and what it ■lands for, there could be no more terrible sen tence, short of death itself, than to be ordered to leave it and never return. But even to the man who does not love this country and does not ap preciate the blessing o f our liberty, a sentence of exile must be a terrible thing, especially if he is to be thrown back into Europe where the ordi nary man has such a struggle. Louis Kramer of New York was sentenced the other day to pay a very large fine and to serve a term in the penitentiary for opposing the con scription laws and failing to register. ,But by far his worst punishment came in the last words pro nounced by Federal Judge Mayer. The court recommended that the man be deported from this country upon the completion of his prison term. Tf the punishment seems stern, it must be re membered the offense was great. America in the past has opened her gates wide to all who would enter. It made the privilege of citizenship com paratively easy. In return, the least that could be expected was obedience to the laws of the land and loyal service in time of national trial and peril Kramer was willing to render neither obedi ence nor sen ice. He went further and sought feo have others behave in a treasonable way. He troi exactly what he deserved.

QjnrrvvK3nvnU\yirn M.IXV PAY TO MAKK OTHKIW HAJ'I'V "When w« read the telegram from Alma's newspaper friend after the Washington reporters had gone, Margie," said Paula, "w« realized it was she who had discovered the suicide. " 'We found Mr. Smith lying quietly on his bed with a bullet hole in his heart,' the telegram read. 'There wasn't a paper or any thing about except an address and a request that his body ba sent there in care of his brother.' "The telegram ended with, 'What was it all about? Thank you for the beat.' "Of course, we could not tell her, and besides the next day found me so busy Mttltag up office affairs I had not time to do anything else, and Alma said she would tell her all about it when ah* saw her. "Frank Smiths bfOthar satisfied the clamoring creditors at meat sacrifice 10 himself and 1 sent him the letter my boss wrote me. .In a week we had everything in shipshape and I wag out of a job. I still had $200 whicb I had saved I rum my engagement In the play with Karnest l.uwton and alt>o 1 had a good wardrobe. It was summer and unless I could land a job lv stock It would be almost iinpos^jble for me to get a plaie on the stage. "Again, Margie, I was facing the world, but now I looked thn situation in the face fearlessly. I was sure I could gat something to do as 1 liad become quite proficient on the typewriter during tt>« last six months and in many offices they use dictaphones. "Alma did not want me to leave Washington, hut. I was im pressed with the idea that for me New York wan the place. In fact, It in the only place for the young woman who wants to get Into a good theatrical company. Neither of us had heard a word from Tom Perry M Ittt Perry uri'i n si me they left and I could see Alma was going to be very lonely without me. "I arrived in New York, went to my old boarding house, where Airs. Martin was glad to see me, most of her boarders being out of the city for the summer. "When I left New York I had been head over heels lv love with Kuiuest Lawton and expected to he liia wife and perhaps go on being an ar'rcss in hit, company until we. were so old we wuuld have to li?a\e Hie stage. 1 had dreamed of our being known as Mr. and Mrs. i :. . 'mii, and then my awful awakening came.. When I tried to un derstand why k'urnest I.awton wa» had and Jefferson Perrygreen was good, why PioMta Smith was bad and Alma Huutington was good, I BUM to the conclusion that it was becautte the bad ones were wholly m Irish and the good ones were absolutely selfless. "And yet, Margie, the thought would protrude, 'Was Jeff Perrjr ureen any happier than Karnest Law ton? Had Alum any more Joy lliiin Flossie Smith?' "Of course, we all want to be happy, but not at the expense of (lie happiness of others. "Do you think, Margie" asked Paula earnestly at this juncture of her story, 'flint you would choose your own happiness at the ex pense of tho happiness of another?" "I don't know. I'aula," I answered honestly. "I only know that u l< to now only once has the choice been given me and then even be fore I could choor-e tlie temptation 10 isfiatch bliss at whatever cost was taken from me, and so I don't yet quite know what I would have done had the circumstances been different." "I don't think I would," said Paula, "for always I have been mndo unhappy by tho selfishness of others. I thought this out very carefully tliat day in my old rooms before I again started out to get a job." (To Hi- ('iiiiliniKMl.) Attraction Extraordinary!
