ASQUITH FOR STEERING,
 GEORGE FOR STEAM
(springfield Republican.)

(SDT1nGnSlQE 6epQDJ1CaH.j
 Tory support for Lloyd George is the last thing one could have thought of before the war, when his name was anathema to the greater part of the property owning classes. Yet as the energetic organizer of the Ipation's re- sources he is winning the praise of the very people who hardly more than a year ago were calling him a dem agogue and robber. Their support even goes to the extent of setting him up as a rival to MT. Asquith, whose habituaI moderation is denounced, as weakness Yet this is a great mistake. Mr. Asquith is not popular leader, but he is a, wiser a more judgmat- ical.' man than Lloyd George, and while under his lead, if it can be call
 ed that England has made many mistakes, they have not been mistakes of the first. ma agnitude. The demand is now. being made for a leader who will lead, regardless of conse- uuences'' which is much like asking for a pilot who will steer regardless of rocks Mr. Asquith's weakness has been in letting energetic subordinates have their own way, as, for example, Winston Churchill at Antwerp and the Dardanelles. But if that impulslve spirit should get full control. it could commit far worse blunders, as, for ex- ample, by disregard of neutral rights or by rending the nation asunder over the question of conscription. MT As quith is by temperament and habit a l middle of the road man, and while he is not the dictator that many crave, he represents all England as well as I any man could. He is best at the helm and Lloyd George in the boiler 1 room.

cannot help making a study of how many unsophisticated girls and young women there are who seem to be irresistfbly attracted to those who turn out to be trifers. If some of the girls whose intentions were the best tried with all their might to keep clear of just such ne'er do wells, they could not have made any surer mis- take.
 The men, principally younger ones, who belong to this class, pretend De- fore they have known a young woman a fortnight, that they admire her inn
 mensely. In fact they dwell in fas- cinating way about believing that love at first sight comes to those intended for each other. This class of men lose
 but little time with any particular girl. They are free lances, seeking to try their trif1ing b1andishnents upon half a dozen girls, who are amused by their
 bold manifestations and are under the impression that his heart has gone out into their keeping.
 First, they ask as a special favor
 that the young won1ens relatives are not kept informed of the progress of courage their girl friends to put in an
 appearance at the particular time of their calling, adding with intended de- votion: Two is company, three is none.' What a great mistake those dear young women and girls make who do not tell their kind friends just how the man pays court to them-that he made it understood he would some day make plea to marry, although he lodged the question in the next breath, and it could not be made clear that he said its directly iii so many words Once the subject of betrothal came up
 he was ready to take his hat and go without moments delay having nearly forgotten that a sick friend needed him.
 When sitting in the parlor alone, disappointed by. his not putting in an appearance and breaking many prom ises to visit her, she consoIed her ach- ing heart by the subterfuge. that she didn't have to tell anybody that her hopes were trif1ed with. No one would know that she wasted her precious summer evenings with him and at winter she would be free to sit by the hrelight, ssadderz but wiser young wo- man. x
 1 Girls should not accept the attention tof young men not known to hardly any just person where they have lived TriderS form the acquaintance of young women. some of whom are well to do; they consider that they can gain much by appropriating gifts from her.

SAFETY FIRST.
(springfleid Repuglfcan. )

(SPringdeld Repuglican.1
 The Safety First Federation. of America is asking the governors of states to designate Saturday, Oct g. the anniversay of the great Chicago fre-as fire prevention day. Much as the public has been bored by the demand for annual days for one thing and another, this is a reasonable prop osition, and the suggestion might well be adopted in all states. The program for fire prevention day is practical and important.
 It is urged that on Oct. g all public buildings, factories and homes be cleared of accumulated rubbish; that heating, lighting and fire extinguish- ing apparatus be examined and if found defective repaired; that fire drills be held in all schools, factories and other places where such drills have been established and that lec- lures be given in public schools on Oc- tober s by representatives of the fire department. We may be sure that the heads of fire departments and officers of insurance companies will cordially welcome this program.

GENTLE WOMAN's SNIFF.
The Newspaper Nosing Expert Finds No Offensive Odor in Chicken
 Market
(BrookIyn Eagle. 5

Chicken markets, abattoirs and their lodors were the subject of an angry womans letter received by the Eagle this week. She singled out a chicken market on Park avenue, near Thonnp kins,9 as the especial object of her at tack. She declared that it was offens- i've, and that if she passed the place wearing a new dress and clean shoes she had to spend much time on the next corner pluclxing feathers off her Self. This she charged, was particu- u1arly true on Thursdays.
 The official smell tracer of the staff was sent to investigate. The market in question is the rive poultry market of. David Danzinger. No body could mistake the place for any thing save a chicken market. Hens are painted all over it. 1 The most gor- geous painting is one of hen with a green tail. The two languid gentlemen aand the languid lady reclining in hunks on the painted canvas of the moving picture house a few doors away, smoking opium through rubber tubes, see that green tail just before they drop off into an opium dream. They are part of 'tThe Life in China town, - which the film portrays. Mo- body lies, in bunk at the corner of Park and Tompkins avenues, smoking opium, except to help out s.The China town Mystery, or the House of fSighes.'''
 There were more than a hundred women in the market, suuawking hens in their arms, when the Eagle repre- sentative called at the place. They were selecting chickens for a Friday feast, for at sundown last evening fol- lowed the period of feast of Yon Kip pur. Two. bearded rabbis killed hens in rapid succession at two cents a head MT. Danzinger stopped in his job of weighing hens to answer the comD1aint Its Gentile woman,'' he said positively 1T know herr She came by my place one day and, picking up her. skirts, she says, My, such a smell.
 The smell is in your mind,' I 1 told her.
 'f I got a house. she says.
 Sell it. says I.
 T. can't she tells me.
 fe Give it away said"
 | There was no percepuble smell in the place. MT. Danzinger explained that he had told the Gentle woman" that if she wished to avoid feathers, to go by on the other side of the street. A tall man in the neighborhood, so i tall that he had to bend oyer to reach the Eagle mans ear. looked around | aand then, making a cup of his hand,
 whispered:
 Listen The smell--at nights ! enough to kill you; but what do I
 care? Do I live here? No! It is a very bad smell. I should worry! 1 don't five here!'

You were over-anxious to prove your love. It does not do to let it be known that you have intense regard for one of the opposite sex. Interest them on diff feretn subjects as well as love con- stantly. Letters should be interesting but not on one subject. He will love you if you pursue this course.
