The Cry of "WOlf"

The five Stone & Webster street and interurban
electric railway systems in Texas showed an average
net earning of 81 25 per cent during April, though
there was an average decrease in gross earnings over
last April of % per cent due to 'jtney competition
and hard times"
Yet in no state is more bitter war being waged
against the jtney-bus than in Texas by the Boston
people who control those lines The cry is that they
are being forced into receivership, but regardless
of this they earn nearly 40 per cent.
No wonder the people pay little heed to the cry
of "wolf"

The Real Victims

Germany is considering ''what to do for the great
army of widows and orphans left by the war and
the only solution seems to be to get work for Them
All the other beligerent countries will have this
same problem, and the solution will be the same
hard labor for women and children.
You cannot figure out of it anything less than
racial deterioration.
Wars awful effects last through many years of
peace and the nation that does not prepare itself to
preserve it's peace is foolish.

Sensible Questions

New York state is taking census and among the
questions are these:
What is your sex?
Are you an inmate of an asylum?
Are you an infant under one year of ages
Sounds kind of silly but if you want to learn what

right personal and particular in your questions.
We've seen things in Fifth avenue whose sex you
couldn't guess in five tries, and who would readily
be taken for inmates of some asylum.

Anna Lynns place in life has broadened
greatly during the last few years, and her think
ing apparatus has broadened with it.
She remains just as desirable as sweetheart,
just as loveable and true wife, just as fond a
mother as the Anna Lynn of so years ago, but
she has acquired new set of brains-or, rather,
her brains have been permitted to grow.
Anna Lynn is no longer a clinging vine. Men
often find her to be the mainstay to which they
must cling.
