French divisions are appearing. French preparation is overtaking Ger man in all departments. Doubt and hopelessness, which early defeats in spired, have fully vanished. For more than two months French troops have held their ground or advanced. In every report that comes from the bat tie lines there is revealed the expec- tation of the French that they are ap- preaching complete victory.
 In October, then, Germany failed absolutely in the east and relatively in the west. Her armies are no nearer Paris now than October 1. They are further away than on September l. Again, while a few weeks ago the center of the struggle was barely 70 miles from the French capital, it is nearly twice as far away now. In Belgium, not in France, the great contests of the month have taken place.
 Reviewing the recent weeks in the western field, it is impossible to es- cape the conviction that the allied Every major effort of the Germans has been promptly met, beaten down. Every new German concentration has promptly recoiled before an allied con .centration equally prompt.

Hush money does more talking than any other kind. When you see an Overdressed wom- an escorting a man who looks like a door mat, you know who is the boss in that house. A girl can put in ten years acquiring culture. But that won't keep her from snoring when she is asleep.
 The man who beats his wife isn't a bit worst than the man who robs his family by spending his money on his friends.
 The old-fashioned man who used to paddle his own canoe now has a son who owns motor boat named "Ishka- bibble!"
 It is funny what difference a few years make. The girl who used to let you chew her "wax" in school while her sister let you take a whirl at her "all day sucker" now has a daugh- ter who carries her individual drinking cup so she won't get any germs in her mouth
