unnecessary the absurd ornaments
of the past That one of the results
of the war should be that the nations
of the world should once again arm
themselves to the teeth, and on a
more organized system than ever be-
fore. is a possibility which no one
can contemplate with equanimity,
who holds in any regard the idea of
real progress. 1t is, however. just
such a system which Mr.. Pearce. in
his speech at Bendingo, seemed TO
advocate. II is true that his pTopo-
sal is that there should be general
staff for the nation" and that by this
he understood some permanent body
whose business il would be TO watch
over the development Of the country
in all directions. Il is quite clear
however, that in every development
in trade or commerce encouraged by
this body. the question of its adapt
ability TO the uses OF war is to be a
first. or one of the first. considera-
tions.
The general staff or defense coun-
ell, Mr.. Pearce declared, would be
good for the nation in war or in
peace. The government was going
TO establish an arsenal. Why should
il not be made, through the council
of defense, a clearing house for all
grades, so that ever!' mechanic could
go there and see shells, guns, rifles
being made, and so be famiiiariZed
with the processes if war came?
War was a matter for whole nations.
He hoped. therefore, that what the
government proposed 10 do would
meet with the appreciation of the
people of Australia and make the
nation more prepared.
The atmosphere Of militarism.
which such a scheme must newt
ably import. even into the most
peaceful activities, is. in the last de-
gree. 10 be deplored. The fact is,
however. that the Australian author
tiles are probably building much
better than they know. and that, such
will be the drift of public opinion
after the war is over. that the pro-
posed Australian general staff will
assume an ever more peaceful &C
tivity. The possibilities, at any rate,
are that il will devote itself to car
/ ing for the development of all the
resources of the country with ever
less and less attention. rather than
more and more. to the question OF
their adaptability to so-called mill

\ WORD FOR LONG HAIR.
Though another element enters in
here which shifts the responsibility,
so TO speak one step further back,
and that is the length Of the hair.
Stiff collars cannot be worn with any
comfort by people who wear their
hair long, and not only that, but
much of their whole effect of trim
ness and cleanliness is lost when
concealed by hair. and they soil and
wilt with great rapidly. Men have
come to wear stiff collars since the
time they began to and because they
wear their hair short.
Even where stiff collars are worn
with long hair as occasionally by
women. the hair either projects at
the back sufficiently or hangs down
SO as TO form a cover for the collar
and prevent germs and dust floating
in the air from falling inside its edge
and being conducted down the neck.
Furthermore. germs and dust
which happen 10 fall upon the head

hair long are either brushed or tend
TO work their way out toward the
ends OF the hair and thus fall upon

story that he had met a tride OF

ever they cried their tears ran down
