A pathetic figure is Mrs. Jennie De-
laney, mother of pretty young daugh-
ter, lured like many other daughters, by
the lights, the music and the soft words
of men.
A weak and impotent figure is Mrs.
Delaney. her heart burning with right
eous Indignation and torn with anguish,
in her feeble attempts to get at the pow
ers that be and inaugurate moral
change in the city of Detroit.
Mightier persons than she have tried
and bruised their SensibilitieS against a
machine made up of greed, cowardlcc
anu vicious instincts which allows the
youth of a city with the rousing slogan
where life Is worth living, to be en-
trapped in the meshes of a snare set to
catch them.
Mrs. Delaney is puny infant for there
is nothing in her power which will in
any way reach the persons of those in
control.
Has she money (most powerful of all
weapons)? No.
Has she influence (next in the line of
of power)? No.
Has she vote (third in the list No /;
but she has that wonderful thing ''indi-
rect influence" so dilated upon by the pol
iticians. Let her use it and see what
happens.
Nothing will happen. A little furry

A possible police supervision of cafes
for a few nights and then Mrs Delaney
can send her poor, deluded little girl TO
the industrial school and take her own
bruised heart back to the seclusion Of
her home and heal it with what balm she
may while other daughters will follow
the same destroying path and other
mothers will be bowed with grief.

Too often this matter of personal

quite overlooked by young people
when selecting their vocation.
Many young people, for that mat
ter, never select a vocation in any
real sense of the term. When the
time comes for them to 20 TO work
they take the first Job they can get,
regardless OF everything except the
fact that IL means regular pay.
Others, when choosing their life
work, are governed mainly by such
motives as desire for social prestige
and large income.
This is why law, medicine, and the
professions in general are so over
crowded. They are looked upon as
socially superior callings. and as
most lucrative ones.
And IL Is true that law. medicine,
and other professions do offer big
rewards, but only to those excep-

The Madness of 1t All

The daily war bill of the six principal
powers at war amounts to 100000, 600.
One year of war adds to the debt of these
six nations the stupendous sum Of $780,
$50 600, 900. At the beginning of the year
1914, the public debt of all the nations
sof the world aggregated but S42 1888, 631, :
900.
So, if the war lasts as much longer
as it has already ragged, the burden
'6houldered on the posterity of Germany,
Australia, England, France, Russia and
italy, with that of the smaller countries
involved, will easily amount to as great
- sum as the balance of the debt con-
