 The women have tag days to pro mote most every other public enter. prise, and why not tag day for bachelors? We have ia Arkansas ap- proXimately forty thousand bacheo ors and an equal number of widows Why not get them together and solve two vexatious problems with one mar riage license?
 Economic experts of the federal government are giving the high cost of living problem their thoughtful consideration, and are investigating the high prices of meat.

Taq Arkansas Bachelors.

A great many state legislatures have given consideration to bills tax ing bachelors and many convincing arguments have been presented why men who escape matrimony should pay penalty, but why not tag them as a more painless and effective method of extermination? If the bachelors were tagged the widows could easily find them and Cupid would do the rest. The bachelor is naturally timid, but under the en- couragilg influences of merry widow he can easily be led to the altar. for there is no more helpless craft afloat than a lovesick swain wao has passed the age of discretion, and the little imp that plays ping pong with human hearts has no more

| three daughters was oniy mildly pie turesque. We had scarcely landed when we were caught in the whirl of mobilization that swept over Europe last week. For two days we stood our ground and let the frenzied rush of visitors from Tonquet literally leave us mOnarchs of all we surveyed at one of the most popular Anglo-French resorts on the continent.
 After the reserves were called out | all strangers were warned to leave l We got a permit to stay and were , told that we would have to go to Ar rasm, capital of the department of Pas de Calais, for a passport to get away
 Armed with a permit from the may or of Le TOuque, we mortored seventy miles through one of the richest and loVeiest of agricultural districts On the way we passed about midway be tween the historic battle fields of Crecy and Agincourt The journey was interrupted every few miles by French patrols, but one puncture de layed us longer than all the pickets combined. The road was lined on either side by fields of every descrip- tion with grain ripening under q cloud less sky. Men women. children and horses were working in frantic haste to get in as much of the harvest as possible on that last day of the mobl- Ration. Women were in the majority but many were children not as high as the grain they were gathering into sheaves.
 When we reached Arras we found the streets swafming with French sol hers, the flower of manhood from the beautiful region we had traversed. Arms and uniforms were being dis tributed among them. We had to wend our way slowly through their parting ranks to get to the prefecture We had no difficulty in getting the necessary 'laisser passer' (passportsl to embark to Boulonge.
 Tt was nearly 8 o'clock when we left Arras on our return trip. Before darkness settled on the landscape we passed great droves of horses that had been requisitioned, still wet with the sweat of that last day of mobiliz- ation in those goldon fields. All were beautiful speciments of the noble Nor man breed famous the world over.
 After darkness had fully gathered we soon realized that we were passing 41 railroad crossing bridge and culvert we were chal lenged by sentry and in the little hamlets cord strung across the road brought us to halt until a picket and several curious viii had scanned our passports,

Slaton Thompson, a Chicago rail road man gives an idea of the situa- ton relative to Americaas marooned in the war countries. in the following:
 Today London is the Mecca of be- wildered Americans thousands of whom are holding return tickets on German steamships which have been driven from the seas. Of these Ameri- cans many hundreds are school teach CTS who have been touring Europe on their savings.
 What ready money they possessed melted away before the necessities of fight from Europe came and they are without surplus funds. Thousands have reached this stage of the jour- ney to find that further progress is blocked even where they have the means with which to buy tickets.
 Great numbers are stranded in London pennless, with a situation calling for doubling the transporta- ton facilities These facilities are crippled by the British requisitIon of ships From the Cunard line alone the government has taken great car ricrs like the Aquitania, Lusitalia, Mauretania, Caronia and Carmania and has left fleet of minnows. The company announce that it can make no new bookings until October The White Star line has calceled the sail ing of the Olympic because it is held in New York by fear of the alleged presence of two German cruisers on the Atlantic route
 Tt is not about time for the Ameri- can navy to take q hand in guarding the route from cruisers? This is the question asked in London today by a multitude of anxious American school teachers.
