WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

There is ground for very ser ious thought on he part of Amer jean sand, we may add, for serious discussion among thOughtfu bodies of women--in an editorial in the Ladies Home Journal for April, from which the following is taken:
 What We must not forget is that there is a distinct point of morals in this question of how a girl dresses. When We see young girls. as we saw them last summer in larger numbers than ever before. brazenly OF innocent ly displaying in their attire their physica rather than their innn- cent charms, he fault is not so much with the girls as il is with the mothers who permit them to buy and wear such clothes. The excuse that mothers cannot con- trol the attire of their daughters is begging the question: a mother is a pretty poor failure when she has to confess such inability. When a girl is permitted to buy and wear the amazing hats that she wore last year, set on a head loaded down with puffs and rats: the waist SO thin and transparent as to be absolutely indecent, with sleeves so short and neck so low as to transgress the line of dccency. and skirt so tight that her figure is displayed at every step, with stockings of the thinnest transparent silk, there is a question of morals in- VOlved that is tremendous.
 It was Abe Martin, the home spun philosopher. who reduced to sentence essence an inevitable conclusion as to this whole ques- tion when he remarked: 'The transparent stocking aint start in no boom for the straight and

indifference of Italy, with it's new
 empire on the south coast of the
 Mediterranean to defend, to the larger needs of the Alliance. In such a situation Germany would
 be left with far the heaviest bur- den on her own shoulders, with the Triple Entente arrayed against her and with her part
 ncrs crippled, or worse. This is he reason for the desperate measures of preparatip ion for war on which Germany is cmbarking. But reasoning of much the same sort was frequently used a month ago as to the course of Russia and Austria. IL was said that the interests of Austria were so deeply involved in preventing the Balkan Allies, and especially Servia, from gaining foothold on the .Adriatic, that she would fight to gain that end, and that as soon as Austria took up arms Russia was bound o do the same. Nothing of the sort has happened. Servia has withdrawn her claims under the advice and even pres sure of Russia. The two great powers have halted on the very brink of a conflict that threat cned a general war. It is not un- reasonable to hope that Germany and Russia and Great Britain and France will find a means for like understanding. And the nearest Europe gets to actual fighting the more likely it seems that an agreement of some work able sort will be rrached.--New York Times.

MovjnQ On,

We foolish folk are diScOntpnt-
 ed with things wherc'er we chance to dwell. ''The air. We say, "is sweeter scented in some far dis tant dale nr dell" And so. we lpull up stakes and travel to seek
 the fair and promised land, and find our Canaan is but gravel, a wilderness of rocks and sand. Across the hills the fields are
 grecner,' we murmur, ''and the view more fair: the water of the brooks is clearer, and fish grow larger over there.' And so we leave our pleasant valley, from all
 our loving friends we part, and OCT the stony hills We sally, to reach land that breaks the
 heart. "There's gold in plenty
 over y"nder,' we say, "and we
 shall seek the mines" Then from our cheerful homes We wan
 der, far from our figtrees and our vines: a little while our dreams we cherish, and think that we can never fail: but, tired al last, we
 drop and perish, and leave our
 bones upon the trail. How happy is the man whose nature per-
 mits him to enjoy his home, who. 1 till compelled by legislature, de- clincs in paths afar lo roam.
 There is no region better. fairer, than that home region that you /, know: there are no ZpphyrS SWeetrr. rarcr. than those which
 through your galways blow.

RUSSIAN LAND SWINDLE
Clever Realty Sharks Inveigle Innocent
People in Get ich-Quick
Scheme.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 18.-Thou-
sands of persons have just been victi-
mixed in a cleverly manipulated land
swindle, according to dispatches from
Circulars had been sent
out broadcast by a gang of alleged
real estate agents saying that the au
thorities had agreed to give 1000 square
Don nearby to every settler who should
fence in his allotment and promise to
begin building operations within
reasonable time The result was a
pretty fair imitation of western re-
servation opening in the United States.
Thousands stampeded to the place
where they were met by the agents"
who assisted them in stalking out lots,
and who sold them at high prices large
quantities of fencing and building ma
terial. The swindlers also sold and r.
sold lots among the settlers in retarn
Tor fancy commissions.
Next day the agents" disappeared
Just before the arrival of detachment
of police from Nakhitchevan who pro-
ceeded to arrest the settlers for oc-
cupying land without legal authority.
They not only lost their claims but
also the building materials which they
had purchased.

No Union Pacific "Melon."

The Union Pacific Railroad has wisely refrained
from cutting a melon" Rumors that 1t would
declare an extra cash dividend out of the proceeds
of the recent sale of Southern Pacific stock have
been freely circulated by Wall Street SPECTATORS
and these rumors put the price Of Union Pacific
stock up rapidly for time The public wondered
whether some lecerdeman of high finance was
going TO be pulled off, and prepared TO believe
that distribution might be ordered which would
sacrifice the permanent welfare of the property TO
the eagernesS Of some stockholders 10 realize on
cash assets.
1t is gratifying to learn from the statement is
sued yesterday by the board of directors that none
Of the various plans which have thus far been con-
sdered and discussed have contemplated any d
vision of surplus either in cash securities which
In its result would have increased the present yield
of the stock" The Union Pacific issued convert
bic bonds in order to raise money with which TO
purchase the stocks it now holds has Just turned
into cash II made money on Southern Pacific, but
II has lost money on Baltimore & Ohio and Illinois
Central Why distribute the profit invest
ment while ignoring the loss other investments?
This is not good time for "melon cutting" The
Union Pacific system will he far stronger if the
directors continue the sensible policy Of not boost
ing the present 10 per cent return the stock.
