It was so diverted from military affairs in .1s-yria. Egypt, the c(ities of Greece, and in lhorne; it was diverted from naval afftTairs in Holland before Holland sucrunmbed to (Great Britain: it was s, diverted in France. and devoted to the pleasures that made P'aris the mi-tress of fashion, before the armies of France went down like tin ohltiers before the real soldiers of Prussia in 1870. The cause of the diverting of attention anti effort from military things is not mental so much as moral; not folly so nlmuh as effeminacy. It is beoause of a natural yielding to the pleasure. of the senses and the appetites; to the p!iasures of soft beds, beautiful houses and gently rolling automobiles; to physical indolen·mu, sweet itnt'. silk stockings an! kid gloves; to fashionable society, golf and French nov(o; in a word to luxury. Yet it is at bottom the pursuit of luxury, and the re ult in; strife for foreign trade, that has been the principal can,.e of lmd ern wars. Conservation of the Country's Forests Needed to Insure Adequate Paper Supply By CARL VROOMAN.Aamita Secretary o Apiculre At the present moment we are using daily 6,.000 tons of newspaper and this is increasing at the rate of 10 per ce'nt a year. We need about seven million cords of pulp a year for all our paper products, and at pres .nt only two-thirds of this supply is grown in our own forests. We import a third of our newsprint pulpwood from Canada, arwl between 15 and 20 per cent of the pulpwood used for our other paper products, from Europe. Since the war this latter source has been cut off. In order to render the United States independent of outside sources for paper we must first of all eliminate as much as is feasible of the waste in logging. Then we must re-use old paper, and develop woods hitherto pnuaed to any considerable extent. Both public and private enterprise must take the lead in the intelli t reforestation of private lands. We must provide for the development of privately owned timber lands by compelling fire protection and thus checking annual losses amounting to millions of dollars. Moreover, the public must recognize the benefits to the community afforded by the refor atation of private lands and the burdens imposed on their owner in deferring incomes from them. The community should substitute for all other forms of taxation what is known as the yield of harvest tax on forest lands, which are managed so as to meet their public obligations. S There are plenty of "paper resources" in the United States. The trouble is that they are undeveloped, unorganized and unnationalized. Women Well Qualified to Aid Men In Solving of Many Municipal Problems j y LEWELLYN F. BAKER. Praoka ci M.&dicn Jum s J Hop~im U Unhealthy housing conditions, bad sewage disposal, contaminated wa ter supplies, impure foods, including bad milk, child labor, juvenile crime, overcrowding, poor ventilation, dirty :streets, contagious diseases, smoke nuisances, alcoholism and other drug habits, may be mentioned as among some of the problems about which women should have a vote. Formerly the woman in her home kept the house clean, saw that the food was wholesome, made sure that the slops were emptied, took precau tions against fire and tried to educate her children and to protect them from contagious disease and immoral influences. Today this housekeeping is no longer a matter of the home alone, but also one of the city, and in this civic housekeeping women can do some of the work better than men. In these municipal affairs of education, justice, charity, art, science and hygiene, women should share the management with men. The work will improve as soon as they do. What has become of the old-fashioned man who used to worry about how the country was bankrupting, itself buying automobiles? Nevertheless, the toy-dog fad is ,,itter than the poodle fad for wpmen who can't resist the temptation to kiss pet dogs on the nose. Cabbage is now selling at such a high price in the market that thereWs no longer any profit in making it into cigars. England may turn her golf links into potato fields, says an excbmage. That's lust changing from one bug to another. HAVE CHARACTER INYOUR DWELLING Keep Away From Freak Ideas If You Want Home to Be Gen erally Admired.

A beggar in Snn Francisco was given $10 to move on the other day. Ile is a blind man. and each night he sits on the sidewalk. nsking for alms while he plays a loud-voiced phonograph. The other night he was in front of the 3Ienx hotel. Just over him was the window of the room of a Suisan rancher, who was fighting insomnia and the noises of the great city. "Say, you," called the rancher, "how much do you usually reckon to take in of an evening?" "Ten dollars," said the blind man. "I'm sending ten dollars down by a bellboy," was the reply.

True tact requires keen sympathy; a ready appreciation of the other fel. low's point of view ; an Intuitive read ing of human nature: a well-controlled temper; a mouth like a clam. These virtues are not picked off every hedge row, but are part of the golden fruit which grows in the garden of disci pline, watered by experience, and brought to perfection by self-control.
