TO MAKE HATS INTERESTING

81 thought of something as 1 was
coming home" Loretta replied with
glee. 81 saw a hat on the car that
looked as though it had parasol half
closed on it, and 1 was wishing that
the woman who wore it had a string
that she would pull to make it open
and shut for our edification, when l
had an idea"
Share it with me-"
SIT seems to me that there ought to
be some way to amuse an audience
when the programme is dull" Loretta
proceeded solemnly. "And no one can
even see the soloist open and shut
his mouth because of the forest of
hats, so 1 think 1 had better suggest
way out of this desert of dullness.
Don't you think it would be a good
idea to have little figures around the
brim of hat running after each 9TH
err like the little rabbits in the shoot
ing gallery?"
There could be such originality
shown and it would be so entertaining.
Think I should have all the char
acters in Little Red Riding Hood on
mine, and I'd keep it wound up so
that everybody could enjoy seeing
them and thinking about the story all
the time they sat there unable to I'M
derStand the singer and unable to see
a thing but the hats. 1t would be a
splendid exercise for the imagination
and would result in such brilliant
Americans that somebody would vote
me a medal and a Nobel prize for ben
citing the human race.''-Chicago

ARBITRATION THE THING.

The decision. of those directly con-
cerned in the big street railway strike
In Chicago TO submit the trouble to
arbitration is the only sensible solu-
ton of the problem. 1t is best and
more equitable Ito each side and while
1t gives consideration to the travelling
public through the fact that the lines
have again beene opened for business
it is no more than they have a right
to expect. In all strikes which con-
cern transportation companies the pub
lie is always a great. sufferer, and il
IS gratifying to feel that far more
consideration is being givena to them
under present day conditionsethan has
prevailed sometimes.
In this particular instance the city
of Chicago is especially interested in
a resumption of the car service, for
while it must. naturally be in any
Blocking of public utilities, it stood
in a way to lose, heavily through
prolonged tying up of the lines, since
1t receives appreciabIe income each
year from the receipts of the trolley
lines in returns for the rights granted.
Turning the case over to arbitration
puts an end to thespossibilityo of blood
shed and property damage. It leaves
the claims to be adjusted by reason
and with the presentation of the real
facts and the disclosure of the condi-
tions it means that justice to allscon-.
cerned gets a better chance. Suchs dis
putes should not be settled in any
other way and by a resort thereto
there will be saved to- those who. had
gone out on a strike as well as the
company hundreds of thousands of
dollars which otherwise would have
been wasted through prolonging the
stubborn resistance.

THE PULSE OF GREECE.

The position which Greece has main
tanned relative to the war has been
the cause for much concern, both in
that country and elsewhere. Had the
plan which was started, and which
was advocated by Venizelos, gone
through, Greece would be today en-
gagged in the conflict. Even though
Greece is deeply interested as a friend
of Servia the Venizelos plan was not
approved by the king, who through
family ties has leaning towards the
Teutonic allies, but the outcome of the
recent election in that country dis
closes the attitude Of the people and
the strength which the advocates of
participation will have in the lower
house of the Greek parliament.
Through the election the question of
intervention has been placed before
the people and there can be no ques-
ton as to where the majority stands
on that important matter. All the sec
tons of the country have spoken and
they give endorsement to Venizelos,
the man who has accomplished so
much in recent years for Greece. It
cannot help but make a deep impress
sion upon the king and his advisers.
The pulse of the nation could have
been taken in no better way.
Interest, therefore, again surrounds
the action of that country at this time
even as it does Rumania. Greece has
the same reasons for desiring to enter
the conflict which other countries in
that region have, and the very action
has been taken which was needed to
open the way for a change in attitude
upon the part of Constantine While
his illness may cause some delay, the
course which Greece can be expected
to pursue henceforth appears to be
clearly marked

HUsTLING LEGISLATION.

The action of the United States su-
preme court in refusing to review the
Caminetti case where prosecution was
brought and conviction secured under
the federal white slave act ends all
hope of an Interpretation of that law
by the highest court in the land at this
time.
In this instance, as in others which
have since arisen, the contention is
that the law is made to cover matters
which were not contemplated when
the law was passed. It, has even been
stated by Congressman Mann, who was
responsible for the drafting of the
law that personal escapades were not
aimed at. The purpose was to strike
at the commercialism in vice and CO.
ercion to vice through interstate traf-
fic in women.
That the law was drawn even broad
er than it may have been intended has
been disclosed by the careful study
Of its provisions. The action of the
supreme court does not give any as
sistance in settling the disputed point
except that by refusing to review the
case the conviction must stand That
being the final move in the case either
new grounds must be found for talk
ing it to the court of last resort, or,
if there is a demand for clearer set
ting forth Of the requirements it must
be done through legislation.
The declaration of the man who
drafted the law to the effect that it
is more, drastic than intended calls at
tention to the carelessness which sur
rounds too much legislation. There
may be at times an advantage in hust-
ling new laws through, but more often
it results in just what has occurred
in this case.

Real Wonder-Worker
For Wrinkled Faces

Those who have tried all sorts of
so-called ''wrinkle-removers in q vain
effort to lose those unwelcome traces
of age, illness or worry, can scarcely
find words to express their delight with
the wonderful saxolite formula, once
they have given it trial. The success
of this method is due not alone to its
marvellous effectiveness upon the
deepest lines and crowsfeet. as we'll as
upon the very fine ones-but also to its
surprisingly quick action and its entire
harhalessness. Its simplicity and it's in
eXpensiyeneSs are other commendable
features, for one needs only dissolve
an ounce of powdered SaXolite in a half
pint witch hazel, and battle the face in
this solution. At once a remarkable
transforma ton is beheld.
1t is not only the effect on wrinkles
and creases that is so noticeable, but
facial contour is remarkably improved
and the face looks much younger One
should be sure to ask the druggist for
the powdered saXolite. The lotion. be-
ing so refreshing, is particularly CRATE
full to tired faces these warm, depress-
ing days

lied that there is presented a problem
which does not deserve to be neglect
ed.
Civilization gains nothing therefrom
until they are placed in a position to
contribute thereto, until they are re-
moved from the ignorant and illiterate
class and made better citizens and I'M
til they are made better acquainted
with American ideas and ideals. The
quicker a determined effort can pe
made in this direction the quicker the
desired results will be obtained. The
idea of Americanization day should
give needed stimulation to this cause
and it is fitting that it should come
when immigration is at low ebb that
the country will be in a better position
to handle the work when the tide again
sets in in this direction. Not only
civilization, but industrial peace and
national solidarity are in the balance.

Writing from the front in France a
soldier tells of his experiences thus:
We have made some underground
houses called trenches On the first
line we have not beautiful camp life,
and we have made our holes very deep.
Those trenches look like a subway,
well arranged inside so as to rest COM
fortably, and with facilities to make
hot drinks and warm up dinner. The
trouble for US is we have to. move too
often, and it gives US too much work.

One of the things the Massachu-
sets legislature did in its recent
session was to pass a firearms law
which makes it Illegal for an unnat-
uralized citizens to carry shotgun,
rifle, revolver or any other firearm
at any time or season unless he is a
taxpayer and has property to value
of at least $500. The law is intend
ed to discourage illegal shooting by
aliens who are in the habit of max
ing no distinctions between closed

coNVoYs FOR AMERICAN SHIPS.

It may seem a bit strange that the
captain of the American liner ST. Paul
should object to the protection which
would seem TO be given to his vessel
by being conveyed by British destroy
ers while in the war zone set up by
Germany. but as a matter of fact it is
not objection to the protection which
IS being given, so much as it is a
question as to just how much addi-
tional danger is being thrown about
the neutral ship by the presence of
belligerent warships.
As a matter of fact there should be
no need Of anyfconvoy by neutral YES
sells which are engaged in legitimate
business. There is no reason why they
should be made the objects of at
tack. There are regulations which
have been made to govern in Just such
cases and they do not in anv way
sanction the violation Of the rights Of
neutral commerce or humanity. This
IS the very point upon which the notes
20 Germany are based and the captain
IF the st. Paul views the situation in
ne same light.
There has been one instance where
IN American vessel flying the Amer
lean flag and conveyed by British yes
sells was torpedoed. It suffered through
being in the company Of warships even
though proper observation would have
disclosed the fact that It was q United
States ship. IN this instance the war
ships were Ignored for what was con-
sidered a prize ship and the affair is
attributed to a mistake" In accord
ance with the promises this country
has reason to believe that there will
be PREPARATION, but life cannot be re-
stored and in the case of the ST Paul
# looks as If the master of that ship
was anxious to avoid any mistakes in
\ relation to his charge. There are guar

DEALING WITH THE FOREIGNER,

The immigration question dealing
with the foreigner who is contemplate
ing a residence in this country is al
ways an important one. Equally so is
the policy of this country in dealing
with the immigrant after he has elect
ed to make the United States his home
and passed the necessary require
ments. Such people make up a con-
siderable part Of the population of the
country and it is vital that they should
be so dealt with that they will become
of greater value to themselves and to
the nation.
When it is realized that there are
over six million and a half foreign
white men Of voting age in the coun-
try, of whom less than half are nat
uralized and of the remainder less than
$4,000 are attending school or putting
themselves in a position to become
citizens of the country, it can be real
