Today,s Cabinet Meetina.

United Press Leased Wire Servicel
WASHINGTON April 2.-Secre-
tary Bryan reported to the cabinet
today concerning Leon q. Thresher,
the American killed when German
submarine sank the steamship Falaba
and Raymond Swoboda, charged in
France with attempting to destroy
the liner La Touraine.
1t was understood the known facts
were held too meagre for immediate
action. Diplomatic reports were
awaited. The Thresher case was
deemed the most serious, consider
ing Americas declaration that sacri-
flee of American lives through Ger
man submarine activity would be re-
garded as unfriendly. The point was
made however, that the protest to
Germany was observation-disclosures with
neutral ships or those flying stars
and stripes, whereas, Thresher was
on a British ship under the British
flag. 1t was understood protest
was generally favored, but that it
was believed Germany would be able
to --oresent she acted within her
r. IL the facts are as represented.
eTning two cent postage to
s. America, Postmaster General
Burleson said several countries
which ordinarily would be favorable
were otherwise at present, owing to
the wars effect on their finances.

Keep Your Lungs Strong

This advice is doubly important with
the knowledge that every three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs
to consumption and many refuse to
realize they are afflicted until It is too late.
It is after colds or sickness, from over
work, combining duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular germs
thrive because the resistive powers of
the body are weakened.
Only with fresh air, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progress, and the concen-
tfated fats in Scott's Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish-
ment helps strengthen the lungs while
it builds up the forces.
If you work indoors, tire easily. feel
languid or rundown Scott's Emulsion is
the most strengthening food-medicine
known and is free from alcohol or stupe.
flying drugs. Avoid substitutes.

TURN @, The YEAR.

This is the time when bit by bit
The days begin to lengthen sweet
And every minute gained Is joy
And love stirs in the heart Of a boy.
This is the time the sun, OF late,
Content to lie abed till eight,
Lifts up betimes his sleepy head
And love stirs in the heart of maid.
This is the time we dock the night
OF whole hour Of candlelight;
When song of linnet and thrush is
heard
And love stirs in the heart Of a bird.
This is the time when sword-blades
green,
With gold and purple damascene,
Pierce the brown crocus bed arrow
And love stirs in heart I know.

The Modern Girl.

Kathleen Hills in Leslie's Weekly:
We all sympathize with the young
woman who Is obliged to live cheaply
on a small salary. But great deal
or sympathy Is wasted on the modern
working girl who has never, 1t would
seem, learned to economic and to
live normally on normal salary.
Times have changed when We find
that schoolgirls wear silk stockings.
and Sc a week clerks have high priced
chiffon waists to wear to business. In
the younger days Of our parents and
grandparents a good cloth coat or suit
served for best" one or two seasons,
then it became second best" or was
used for ordinary wear. Nowadays
working girls and business women
with moderate incomes have from one
to four suits year Where two hats
wer, considered plenty for the girl OF
moderate means a few years ago. to-
day most business women, even those
on small salaries, have from three to
five hats a season. And that is not
all. To be strictly up to date, the
rest of the girls costume must cor
respond. Hats, gloves, shoes and
stockings, even her. handbag, purse or
parasol must be in harmony with the
general tone Of the outfit Mother and
grandmother remember distinctly the
futter of delight over their first silk
frock The maid of today is quite
used to silk and scarcely recollects
her first party dress" Every rad
that comes into popular ta'cr mean
a drain on the purse of every shop
gir1-be the fad a new tango veil or
a tempting "kss curl or the newest
":vory" dresser set. But the change
does not end there Living generally
has become more cosmopolitan. At
our large hotels the cultured woman
of means rubs elbows with the steno-
grapher. clerk or secretary, all appro-
priately dressed for the occasion. This
spirit Of emulating the woman higher
ND is one Of the curses engendered by
the freedom of our country. 1t is the
result of the abolition OF class dis
tinctions and Is responsible for lot
of the misery Of abnormal living
among women. A woman without an
evening dress or a dancing frock Is
scarcely to be found. And with the
evening dress must go full array OF
other necessities--long gloves. filmier
skirts. dancing pumps or evening
slippers and frequently an evening
cane or even white furs. These are
not uncommon instances OF needless
but are to be found
daily. I have observed them among
