THE INSTALLMENT CRAZE,
Better Do Without Things TIL You
Have Cash In Hand.

Better Do Without Things Till You
Have Cash In Hand.
Women are mad on the subject of
getting something for nothing That's
why they're so keen over the install
ment plan arrangement They don't
stop to think that half the time they
pay more in the end, nor do they seem
to reflect very often that they must
pay in the end.
There was Mrs. Jones-"Installmen
JONES'" the neighbOrs named her. She
certainly had the habit bad. First she
bought half a dozen Of the principal
poets on the dollar a week idea, and
then she started furnishing the new
house with dollar week down. The
first month it certainly seemed as if
her rooms were going to get filed for
nothing. To be sure, some Of the ar
ticles were a little tawdry-not in the
best taste perhaps-but, as Mrs Jones
dcular color and design because they
didn't have any others in hand. "And
think of the cheapness of the whole
thing, my dearv' she would exclaim
In accents Of honest pride.
Well, the second month came around
and with it strings of tradespeople
whose accounts made money seem
scarce when the installment man came
around and, most unreasonably, it
leemed, wanted more money.
In the end his visits came to be per-
petual horrors, and Mr.. Jones in dis
gust, after finding out the total amount,
went to the bank. drew $500 and set
tied the amount once and for all. He
also threatened Mrs. Jones with d.
vorce II she didn't select some cheaper
form Of hobby.

Apropos Of Borrowing.

Did you ever notice how whole fami-
lies get the borrowing habit?
The father borrows from his friends,
the mother borrows from the neigh
bors, the children borrow from each
other shirt waists, neckties, hair rib
bons, even hats and shoes. They are
never quite Strengthened out, and in a
home Of this description everything Is
at skies and sevens.
Worse still, the borrowing habit
sticks to them through life They are
never quite independent. They are
never satisfied unless they are taking
something from some one instead Of
devoting their energies to acquiring the
same thing for their own selves. The
sons Of the borrowing family drive
their methodical wives to despair, the
daughters are always in arrears with
the household accounts, always borrow
ing to get straight again and always
behindhand with the next term. They
are what is known as "unlucky" wo-
men, women who are unable to save a
cent and are always behindhand.
If mothers would teach their children
never to borrow and rarely to lend
they would be giving them great help
in the battle Of life.

THE AMERICAN LAKE LESSON.

There's a lesson In the conduct of
the brigade camp at American Lake
which can be studied with profit by
the war department and the general
staff And it is one in which all the
arguments are against the continu-
ance of such summer camps and wear
ing maneuvers.
AS yet no officer of the department
or the army has attempted to account
for the startling number of assertions
which have attracted so much atten-
ton to American Lake. 1t is doubt
full if they would make public the
causes should they be asked for a re-
port.
Yet there is a cause, real cause,
one which must be taken into account
before the morale of the ranks is de-
stroyed and the army disorganized.
That cause is found in the extra,
onerous burdens imposed on the en-
listed man when the hike" begins.
There is nothing of the picnic In the
hike for the man in the ranks. 1t
is his to do the drudgery, encounter
the unnecessary hardships and suf-
fer the consequences of heavy marches
in hot weather under broilng suns.
For the officers it is merely summer
outing, no matter how much they may
pretend to the hardships of the sea-
son. 1t would be folly for them to
play at the real roughness of the pri-
vate. They have comforts of the
camp and the ease consequent upon
better messes and better camp equip
ment.
The generally accepted idea that for
the soldier it is a training for war, a
hardening to hardships and thorough
comprehension of soldierly duties in
time of war is nonsense.
In the first place the terrific demands
of war time cannot be created in a
summer camp. In the next the lessons
taught are not to the men as a whole
who would be in a war-noW so
many years away. A soldier is en-
listed for three years. By the end of
that time four-fifths generally have
sufficient of the poor pay and poorer
government chow" They refuse to
take on again or have deserted when
afforded such easy chances as at
American Lake. To them the hardships
of summer camp when a heavy tax
is put upon their endurance without
adequate return, works an injustice.
Training for a war 20 or 80 years
away aroses no interest. Learning
maneuvers which will not be used
when actual battle comes, does not in
spire patriotism.
If the war department would take

handing general the opportunity Of
gratifying his desire to handle a bri-
gade before an admiring public and
increase the pay of the enlisted men,
offer prizes as rewards for study,
equip more schools for privates and
develop the tendency to mental equip
ment, it would have accomplished a
great deal more than by forced
marches and eIhausting maneuvers
designed to develop the tactical
strength of the commanding officers
Better pay would lessen the num-
Der of desertions More attention
paid to the mental development of the
soldier would increase the number Of
men fitted to command when COM
| manders are needed. The American
has demonstrated his ability to endure
hardships. What he needs is more
| money and better mental training.
Added to a brigade post at Walla
Walla should be a military school for
privates.
