ONE BLESSING THAT'S COME
AZ Least the Production Of Hooks and
Eyes Has Been curtaled by the
War In Europe.

AS one result OF the war the produc.
tion OF hooks and eyes has suddenly
been stopped. or largely curtalled, and
1t is reported that the entire supply
OF these small but extremely signif-
cant commodities has been bought
up" Thus there Is an Immediate fam
Inc In that line, with the accompanying
certainty of prohibitiye prices.
In some way the outlook thus pro-
duced may seem somewhat appalling.
Upon hooks and eyes, In present condi.
tions, hangs the whole stability of fem
mine fashion. and the decorum of civi.
lization is largely dependent upon
them. And yet this news of the sud
den corner In the hook-and-eye market
will undoubtedly be received by thou
sands OF men with subdued chuckles
Of mirth and qualification
Among the masculine portion OF So
ciety this is far from being a matter
to inspire gloom. The process OF
hooking up" |. e., effecting an accu-
rate conjunction between sixty-four
minute hooks and their corresponding
eyes-has driven many thousands of
respectable and harassed citizens in
the past few years to the verge of ner-
vous prostration. The amount of pro-
family II has inspired in men of hith-
erto unblemished character and habit |
is nothing short of deplorable.
Honest and peaceable men have been
rendered desperate, and very likely the
undermining influences of hooks and !
eyes have been one of the chief con-
tributory causes for the increase of d. |
vorce and the disruption of happy
homes. Here seems an apt illustra-
ton of the saying that good may come
out of evil. The shortage of hooks and
eyes may very well bring about at
least partial return of domestic tran
quillity.

AMERICAS GREATEST TIME TO
BE THANKFUL.

/ Nhiie the terrific, heartless warfare

his great love for right ana humanity
has repelled the dogs Of war, and but
Tor whose tenacity of purpose set on

would too be suffering for fooo and

grim reaper as he spread his wings of
triumph over the bloody fields of bat
tie. And all this for naught.
There never was time more appro-
pirate for real serious thanksgiving in
which every American either freeborn
Or by adoption, should give thanks
from down deep in his heart than now.
and this thanks should be directed to
the White House in Washington, where
sits Woodrow Wilson, the man at the
wheel in the pilot house of this great |
ship Of state, steadily directing our
nation clear of the disastrous shoals
OF war.
woodrow Wilson is not altogether
satisfied with keeping our nation out
OF the clutches of the war dragon, but
with his big heart which goes out to
suffering humanity everywhere he CON

JUST A THOUGHT
Ere the Day Is Gone.
L.auahter VIII come Back.


Let the theater still exist to remind
US that the war will pass; that laugh
ter will come back to the world; that
art will one day be restored; that we
shall not always stand at the edge Of
ruin; that it is not necessary to dwell
forever with grave faces, self-con-
sciously in the shadow of distress.
Thereby we shall help to keep our
country in sane mind and good heart
in these coming days and destroy in
its cradle the infant assumption of
our entertainers that one theme alone
is able at this time to possess us. This
war will never, so long as 1t lasts, be
in less degree the commanding fact
Of our lives But we need not, there
fore, act like stunned creatures and
play continually with one fixed idea.
We have to keep our sense of proper
tion. We must hold on to our humor
and keep it bright; and the theater If
the theater is going to continue, must
help us in this.-John Palmer in Sat

DUE TO INACTIVITY

American Naval Officers Com
ment on Submarines.

Washington. Sept 23.-United
States naval officers expressed No
great amount of surprise when they
received the news that three British
cruisers had been sunk by German
submarines. In fact, many of them
HERE for days have said that 10 the
British fleet did not become active
soon some of their vessels Would be
torpedoed.
The one criticism of the British in
the present war has been the inactiv.
ity Of the main part of the great Brit
ish navy. Officers here say that only
a small part OF the British fleet is be-
ing utilized in keeping open the chan
Dels of commerce between the west
ern hemisphere and Europe and that
its main feet ought to have been
engaged I'm more than guarding the
British Isles.
Naval officers here assert the value
Of submarines is appreciated fully. A
feet. of submarines Is as valuable to
a navy as dreadnoughts, they assert.
II was the war between Russia and
Japan which first proved the worth
of the submarine and that war show
ed more than that II showed that no
navy was complete without large
fleet of the small underwater fighters.
