It has been said by musical peopl. that the war will create new ers in the world of composition and tha 1t will make new artists, for it ha. made people feel, and it has made then suffer. Is 1t necessary that one should really suffer to be able to reach tht soul of others? Is it sorrow and pair that creates sympathy? If this is true then France and Germany and Austria and Belgium and Russia will grow stronger than ever. Surely there could be no music more soulful than that given to us already by the Russian composers. The world has never yet given birth to anything bigger and grander than Germany has done. France has been growing in compo- sition, too. Will the world ever know another Wagner, another Brahms, an other Beethoven, another Puccini. America is doing a great deal to de- velop music, and America isn't having wars
 The war has certainly added to the scope of the cartoonists. and it is won derful how plaintly cartoon will place things before one Whether it is serious or ridiculous there is nothing that more readily reaches the under standing than a good cartoon.
 Sometime ago. that master craftsman, Argus Mcdonald, made a cartoon which was so intense in its peace interpreta- ton that MT Carnegie ordered 5o,0O0 copies and sent broadcast. They were sent to all the presidents of republics, every sovereign, speakers of legisla- lures, ministers of foreign affairs, col leges and universities. This was one of the appeals Andrew Carnegie made for peace. Have you ever seen that little cartoon? It is the picture of a little girl asking her soldier father as she bids him good-by if he is actually going to kill some other little girls father? This was made early last win ter and still little girls fathers are killing other little girls fathers in the country where MT. Carnegie sent the picture.
 Recently a cartoon appeared in one of the Alabama dailies showing some of the things that have been forgotten and crowded out of the papers by the war news The editor of the society page wonders what has become of the debut of Lady Mary Irene Curzon, that half American little lady who is the daughter of the late beloved Mary Letter of Washington and Chicago, and Lord Curzon. She made her bow to society at a ball given by her father at his wonderful Carlton House Ter race mansion in London in May. She is regarded as the greatest matrimonial catch in London this season. The ball was given not long before the assassi- Irtr .f tria, therefore, not very long before the war was declared Her father, as former viceroy of India, has probably had weightier things to do than chaperone his first daughter in society as he intended to do.
 There is a place in the world more in teresting than the and Decent stores when one wants to be economical-and every one wants to be economical some times. A young housekeeper on the South Highlands who has just completed a novel home has a story told on her which makes one doubt whether they are, after all, so good a place to practice economy because of the temptataion to buy whether one needs the article that seems cheap or not.
 This young housekeeper was purchasing rugs, draperies and things for her new home She passed the dime store in her car and saw in the window a dish pan which was about the largest thing she had ever seen for a dime. It measured about two feet across. "Oh,' she said to her sister, who was her shopping com panon, T just must have one of those pans to put the eggs in" Why" replied her sister, who is somewhat older and more conservative, 'there was one egg in the refrigerator when we left home.'
 
 A prominent business man of this city has almost had family row with hIs wife recently because he kept bringing sprinklers for his yard hose home. Every afternoon it seemed to her he had a new sprinkler. They were getting in the way. When he brought home the eighth one she undertook to remind him that it would be well for him to get his mind off of the 10-cent store for awhile. It had become an obsession with him. He was buying sprinklers because he had never seen any for 10 cents before. The temp ttaion is to buy a thing that looks like a bargain just because it is a bargain without considering the fact of whether it is necessity or not.
