Valdez daily prospector., 1916-04-07

It looks to us as if we had better stick to the fight we have than turn to others we know not of. By the time we whip Villa we will be fully convinced of the fallacy of tackling anything larger, unless we increase the size of our army, and diminish the number of our Congressmen.

Those Mexican patriots who object to the presence of the United States army in their country have ready way in which to free Mexico of the intruders. Let them catch Villa and his bandits and administer justice first and the American troops will gladly march back home.

Roosevelt's ideas of protecting the rights of American citizens would be to enter the war on England's side "because America cannot afford to see her whipped" Why not wait and see if she is whipped before we spend a billion dollars for curiosity?

LATEST OF ALL THE BIRDS
Feathered "Weary Willie" Sleeps All
Day and Absolutely Refuses to
Go After Food.

LATEST Of birds is the frogmouth.
He sleeps all day, and instead Of flying
about in search Of food he sits still on
a limb and literally waits for the in
sects to come and feed him. He's
such a sound sleeper that you can
knock him off his perch with club
and he'll not wake up. He inhabits
the islands Of the Indian ocean and
Australia.
He's about the size Of the whippoor-
will and gets his name from his wide
mouth, which also serves as his insect
trap. Too lazy to fly for his food, like
other birds, he crawls along the limb
of a tree, opening his wide mouth and
swapping it shut, catching what flies
and gnats come within his range. =
At night he's found perched with
his mate on the roofs Of houses, on
fences or stumps. Only after the sun
goes down does he show any inclina.
tion to move about. All day he sits,
feet glued to the limb of gum tree,
Indifferent to rain, tropical sun or the
call of the woods.
One species Of frogmouth has tufts
of hair rising from the top Of his head
like ears.

Birds Cannot Understand Glass.

It has been frequently noticed that
no wild bird can understand the prop
critics Of glass, and great numbers,
ranging in size from pheasant to q
titmouse, are killed by flying against
the windows of country houses.
If a room possesses large mirror
rejecting the view seen through an
open window birds are particularly LA
BILE to be deceived, and especially If
frightened into thinking that they can
fly through 1t.
Sparrow hawks will sometimes
chase their intended victims into
strange places. Some years ago
a member Of this species pursued q
small bird through the open window
of railway carriage in motion. In
its blind determination to secure the
painting fugitive it entangled its claws
in the meshes of the hat rack and was
ANONYMOUSLY slain by an astonished
passenger with an umbrella.

PRETTY GIRLS AND OTHERS
After All, the One Who is "Nice" la
Apt to Be the Most Popular
With Everybody.

We all know the old joke OF the
pretty girl who is presented as saying
10 the homely girl, TITS too bad not to
be good-looking, isn't it?" and the
homely girls response: Eyes, because
one has to be nice, and that's hard;
did you every try it?"
OF course we enjoy the reply, espe-
cially as we know how much greater
the impression that is made by being
nice, the Milwaukee Journal observes
The pretty girl who doesn't think this
necessary ia away behind the homely
girl who has really learned to be what
we describe so satisfactorily and in
definitely by the word nice"
But do we ever think of this as one
OF the definite accomplishments Of life
that can be acquired, not so easily per-
l1aps as a knowledge Of algebra or his
tory, but Just as surely? Every day.
we meet someone, often several per-
sons, whose lives exemplify the beauty
of being nice. Very soon we learn
to know them and we are ready almost
without thinking to go little out OF
the way to see that we do meet them.
They are not all homely girls; some
of them are pretty, and many Of them
aren't girls at all. Most Of them al
ways seem to be mice" by nature.
But anyone with an atom of justice in
his reasoning knows that at some time
and probably often, there has come
to these persons who make life bright
or the question, Does it pay?" Maybe
they never really proved that it did
That doesn't matter so much, for
they have kept on with the CHEEKY
look, the pleasant greeting, the friend
liness and graciousness that are the
worlds greatest joy bringers. And
that is enough to make them far better
remembered and far more beloved
than if they had been named the reign
Ing beauties Of their day.

Poor Hubby.

The young bride was doing the fam

stopped at the fish stall and looked
over the array Of sea food.
"All perfectly fresh, mam'am," said
the dealer, ingratiatingly.
"Oh, DEAR" exclaimed the bride.

I could find some stale fish. You see,

THE CALL OF THE CLOTHES.
BY May De Witt Talmage

THE CALL OF THE CLOTHES.
Was there ever a woman. who. as
the spring and summer approached,
did not feel the call of the clothes.
be she ever so broad minded. in
dependent or scornful at other times
las 10 where with-all she shall be
clothed?
Perhaps il is on an out Of season
warm day. when she is still bound
up 10 her neck in furs and winter
clothes. that the call comes and
awakens her 10 the fact that sum-
mer is coming; that her last sum-
mer's clothes are demOde, and that
last years skirts are beyond repair.
Perhaps it is the sight Of another
woman in a stunning new spring
suit. a trim looking hat. and a sat
isfied air conveying the fact that she
has had the forethought and time TO
be ready, that makes "the call Of the
clothes" strike one with almost sick
aning force. And the worst Of il all
is that the call usually comes when
ones pocketbOok is depleted by the
winter calls for music. school. or grip
bills.
Talk about the fall being the mel
ancholy time Of year" spring empha-
sizes so many things TO n woman.
It's the time when the soul cries out
| for all the lovely frivolous gowns
and hats one sees in the shops or at
the dressmakers, the light hats with
tuelle and roses, so alluring in the
hand or in the shop window. and
so disinusioning if you have passed
the debutant age, and you try them
on seated in front OF a triple mirror
| that reflects front view. side view,
| and a hand mirror that lets nothing
! escape as to back view, hair. wrink-
| les and crows feet. Never until
seated in the full glare of those mir
rors do you realize 10 the fullest ex-
tent that time flies It's a sort of
annual reminder.
] II takes all ones common sense,
| and nerve to resist the saleswoman,
/ who. seeing the allure in your eye for
some hat that you know is not APP
propriate for YOU, says. "Oh. it suits
you exactly. just as if il had been
made for YOU" You know she is
! uDDlng, the glass NerlueS the Iact
but YOU do so wish YOU could be-
lieve her
Then the gowns, In this day when
there is no age limit. and they sell
! the same model TO debutant and
and grandmother, how hard it is to
resist the call Of the blood for the
beautiful. rather than what suits
your style or age If in this day OF
massage and exercise, women who
have succeeded in keeping their fig
ures slim could just present their
backs rather than their faces TO the
world. we would be spared many
! shocks.
A college boy laughingly told me
now he and another fellow" were
walking behind what they supposed
a peach Of a girl" on the street. the
other day but gee whiz," he said
Il wish you could have seen her old
face. when we caught up 10 her"
Well it's not always easy to resist
the call Of the clothes"
