"Yes, Leora, Queen Mary, clings to the side saddle and riding habit of the Georgian period, and so does ev- cry other woman of true feminine grace and modesty. She is a woman " woman as well as queen. ."-Daily Prospector
 My Dear Editor:
 Forget it-for heavens sake; don't you realize as editor of an up-to-date razmataz sheet that side saddles were thrown into the discard long ago, along with hoopskirts, muzzle loading shotguns, bed cords, quill pens, tai low dips and red flannel undershirts? Don't history tell us that the side saddle was invented for an English queen who was lame from some de- formity of the hip, and couldn't ride naturally. and therefore, inferentially is. not anyone who rides side saddle placing herself in the same class as the .Anglomaniacs who a few years ago wore their trousers turned up at the bottom when it was raining in dear old Lunnun y. know? Serious ly, now, setting. aside all airy persi- fiage, isn't your assumption that any woman of grace and modesty would only ride side saddle rather long drawn, when you think of the hun dreds, by far in the majority of lady riders, who prefer the "cross sad dle," because it is safer; saner, mere sensible, and after all 1s'' said and done, more decent than the side sad de monstrosity, which does not per

THE BUSINESS OF WAR.

The Economist of London publish es some interesting facts in regard to the political aid given by the Brit ish government to British makers of war material in securing fat con tracts from foreign governments in preparation for the hostilities which the British government professes to abhor and to wish to prevent. For example, the Armstrong-Vickers group has obtained from the Ottoman ministry of marine contract which is thus described:
 The government :nstructs Messrs. Armstrong and Vickers to proceed with a radical reorganization of the arsenals and dockyard at the Golden Horn and with the establishment of a naval base at Ismid, together with the installation of floating dock capable of taking the largest units. The capital necessary for this enter prise will be obtained by means of the Notation of an Ottoman company, with mixed Ottoman and English board of administration. the English directors being in majority. The company will be granted for a per- iod of thirty years the exclusive right of carrying out all naval repairs for the Ottoman government, and will in turn undertake to reorganize the shipbuilding yards and workshops in such a manner that at the end of twelve years the dockyards at the Golden Horn and Ismid will be cap able of building hulls and engines Of all types and all sizes"
 The capital is provided by the con- cessionaires, and they are secured by a second mortgage of the tithes Of the Province of Sivas. The political bearing of the matter is intimated by Reuter-, who says that "the Brit ish proposals have won the day in spite of strong opposition from the foreign governments" and, obviously, with the support of the British gov ernment Turkey practically com mits herself entirely into the hands of Great Britain in the matter of na- val development" Whether squan- dering money on ships Aad docks is the best thing for lond hopelessly overtaxed, exhausted by war, indus trially backward and feeble, and with a people on the verge of poverty in a country of immense undeveloped resources is question that seems not to interest the Premier who on the musings deplores the huge di- version all over the world of nation al wealth into non-productive chan nels." Turkey is diverting. not na- tional wealth, but the daily bread Of it's subjects, into enterprises. not non-productive alone, but destruct- i've, and the Asquith ministry is egg ing her on. It is not a pleasant spectacle.-New York Times.
