RED CROSS SEALS.

Tn keeping with the efforts which have been made in past years there will be put on sale thlsoughout the country today the Red Cross seals which have come to be identified with the Christmas season, This furnishes the opportunity for eachj and every one to participate in the. highly com mendable work of fighting and pre- venting tuberculosis.
 These sales have received increased attention each year andiit is the hope of the organizations which are back ing this movement thht 1916 will prove to be the greaIe st of all in re- spect to the response ton the party of the people. Every seal sold means so much more in thel way of funds that will be devoted to the relief of suSering humanity right here at home.
 This year 1t is hoped that there will be 1Ge, ,00e, 900 Red Gross seals sold. This, if accomplished will mean $1,- 900, 900 for the fight lagainst tubercu- losis in this country and from the way il, which the public interest has been aroused in fighting this plague and also sin preventing it4there ought to be littleS doubt that, thes object will be at tained. Most of the states are al- ready doing something in this cause through sanatoria but there ,is oppor- tunity flor mores good to be done and it is not known how those with the penniest as we'll las these with the dol lars cam participate and cooperate bet ter in working to a most desirable end than by swelling this fund.- to a figure which has never been reached before.

permitted foreign government to get a jump on it. as was claimed, and should have adopted a gun that has come in for so much criticism at Co., lunbus made it apparent that the actual facts in the case should fbe de- termined and a machine gun board was at once made up to Investigate and report. This board in commend ably short time has brought forth a tentative report in which it recom- mends the purchase of 46g0f Vickers guns and states that should the coun- try become involved in war lit should purchase all the guns that three of the large machine gun factories in the country can make until the jneeds are supplied.
 The board in this reportf appears to uphold the stand taken, by tthe former. It gives preference to the gun which uses United States standard arnmuni- tion, which of course hass its advan- tages, and this; is one feature which the Lewis gun does not possess. The report which will be added to as fur ther tests are made does mot condemn the Lewis gun, but it considers that greater efficiency is obtained by an- other, though there are features about some of the other models which may yet win approval

GENERAL HUGHES.

Now that General Sir Sam Hughes has yielded to the demands of Pre- mier Borden of Canada and sent in his resignation as Canadian minister of militia and defense, it will be inter- eStlng to note how it will be received by the people of the Dominion. It has been apparent for some time that there has been friction over the way in which the general has conducted his office. It is not the first time that his ideas have been in conflict with others for General Sir Sam is known as one who has much confidence in his own opinions, and it is recalled that when he was refused a chance to fight dur ing the Boer war he refused to be reconciled by the action of those over him and went to South Africa and en- gagged in the thick of the fighting with the result that he returned to Canada With number of coveted decorations.
 He has been diligently. laboring for the interests of Canada since the war in Europe broke out. He insisted up- on the Canadian regiments being equipped with Canadian rifles. He has been successful in raising a large number of regiments in Canada which are now fighting in Europe and his latest accomplishment is the recruit ing and despatch of others which will relieve the strain which has been placed upon those who are already in the field. He has rendered service of great value to Canada and England and it will therefore be interesting to | note the manner in which the forced resignation is received among his couutrymen.

Did hear alright ?' mildly inquired the middle aged man as his pretty daughter abandoned the telephone in the next room. Were you really ask ing Tom to go with you to the golf club dancer"
 Why yes" said his daughter, in round eyed surprise. Whats the excitement over that?"
 Then it's true that I'm getting old" !" her father said, because my next re- mark is going to be: How times have changed!' Why don't you let the boys do their own asking?'
 The pretty girl sat down and I looked bewildered. Why" she ex- plained, why, you always have to ask them! Why, the girls always have to ask the boys when there's party"
 Well, Pm dummed!" gasred her father in real interest. Do you mean to say that the young chaps these days aren't tearing around, trying to sneak in ahead Of each other to get their particular girl when there's something to go to?"
 T should say they're not!' said his daughter, vigorously. Why, we'd sit home forever if we waited for them! They're so used to being chased up that all they do is wait and they're perfectly sure they'll have five or six bids if they're .popular!"
 Then I'd let 'em wait!" her father said, with force. 'poggone 'emi Five or six bids if they're popular!"
 But, don't you see, you can't pro- tested the pretty girl, earnestly. You never in the world could get the girls to promise not to invite theIl and the homely ones who have a hard time, would be sure to break off and grab their chance. Nobody would suffer but the rest of us. And after you get them there they won't dance unless they feel like it. They seen1f to think that if they condescend to come that's enough and we should be satisfied just

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Making Progress.

MT. Editor: The world is moving very rapidly - especially woman's world, and nowhere is it more mark ed than in the attitude of our re- ligious denominations toward woman suffrage, as illustrated by the action of the autumnal conference of the Congregational Churches of Rhode Islard. This is the first body of Con gregationalists outside of suffrage states to indorse woman suffrage. Little Rhody" led the colonies in pro- gressive and liberal spirit when she received into her fold Roger Will iams-driven out of Massachusetts be- cause he would not submit to re- ligjous tyrany. It is consonant with this early history that this Congre- gational body should be the first of its kind to take action in the follow ing resolutions:
 Whereas, 10000 900 women in one- fourth of the states of the union are now entitled to vote and, whereas, the women of Australia, New Zealand and large part of Canada and sever al Eupopean countries now vote up- on equal terms with men, and,
 "Whereas, such important Pro T. estant denominations as the Metho- dist, Unitarian and Presbyterian have endorsed the justice and righteousness of granting to women the political franchise, and.
 Whereas, the women of the Congre- gational church are as loyal and de- voted and responsive to the calls of

UNIFORM MARRIAGE LAWS.

Further evidertce of the advisability of uniform legislation among states is furnished by thet action of the minis ters of BrattleboIp, Vt, who have sent a petition to the state legislature ask ing for the enactment 9of a state law regulating marriages conformable to the laws of neighborfng states.
 This has been prompted by the fact that many who have been i1 a hurry to marry have found that there is nothing in the laWst of Vermont con- corning the issuing of marriage li- censes to those within or without the state which stands, in the way of it and the result has been that a great many couples have been f1ocking to the cities of that istate to have their marriage ceremonies performed
 The ministers of Vermont have been reaping the benefltt of this state of af- fairs They have{ been securing the tfees which would have gone under or dinary circumstances to clergymen elsewhere, and they have amounted to
 no small sum, but nothing has served to bring out the undesirabiiity of such @ situation more, than the manner in which advantage has been taken of the Vermont law. Therefore it is recognized that the time has come for a change if the desirable effects of the laws in neigfboring states are not going to be nullified. The situation is one where the clergynen can give no thought to the fees which they are receiving and apparently they are not when they are petitioning for change which will shut them off They have taken the proper stand and it is to be hoped that their petition will receive due consideration.

Signs and Old Saws.

Mir Editor: At a social gathering last evening the question of signs and old saws was brought up. The host ess declared her belief in the sign of a dropped dishcloth. She re- counted the experience of a friend who tore her dishcloth in two in the morning, and dropped half of it. and before night she had as a caller a one-ICgged man. As a momentary relief from considerations of the war and the elections. and the body blows of old King Booze in the West I would like to ask your numerous readers what significance to attach to the following: Passing a cemetery just about sun down about two weeks ago, I saw flock of hens vending their way to their place of rest. A white rooster fingered behind and mounting a grave gave three lusty crows. The Deutschland turned UP in New London harbor the next morn ing Was he growing for that? One man to whom I told of it said, Per haps he knew on whose grave he was growing" At any rate, a white roasted, growing three times on 8 grave just at sundown ought to be the basis of @ first rate superstition Let your readers become famous fol starting a new one that shall riva' the "13" superstition, or the knock ing on wood"

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

canea, Capital of Greece-The in
 tense partisanship of the Cretans dur
 ing the crisis in GreeceS international
 affairs makes the cities of this historic
 island of timely interest in the study
 of war geography, Today's bulletin of
 the National Geographic Society, is-
 sued in Washington, gives word pie
 ture of The islands capital and chief
 seaport, Canea.
 While not enjoying the advantages
 of a safe roadstead itself, Canea, the
 capital of Crete since 1S41, is situ-
 ated on the Akrotiri peninsula, only
 four and a half miles from Suda Bay,
 which, with a water area of eight and
 a half square miles, IS the only har-
 bor on the island where a large fleet can ride in safety in all kinds of weather. When the seas are calm steamers anchor from four to five miles off shore from Canea, which is 25 miles from the northwestern ex- tremity of the island, but during storms the Akrotiri headland is round ed and safety is found in Suda Bay whence passengers za are transported overland to the capital.
 "Canea is a congested city of low white washed houses with an occa- sionaI minaret breaking the Snonotony of the skyline. Extensive fortifica- tions, now in a dilapidated condition are the relics of four centuries o1 Venetian rule on the island. The modern buildings include an arsenal military and civil hospitals, ard num- erous soap factories in which olive oil produced on the island, is used exten- sively.
 East of the city, which has a pop ulation Of 25,000, is an extensive plain of great fertility and in this region is the attractive suburb known as ChaIepe or Kalepa where the foreign consuls and most of the we'll dc
 merchants reside.
 "Canea occupies the site of the an cient city of Cydonia which differed from the other Cfetan cities of its time in that it was situated on the shore, while Cnossus, Phaestus and other famous centers of population were located some distance inland varying from three miles in the case of Cnossus to many times that mum Der in other instances.
 "A destructive earthquake visited Canea sixty years ago and it stil bears the scars of this calamity "As a tribute to the fertility of the fruit orchards in the vicinity of the Cretan capital our common quince bears the classical cognomen 'Cydonia I cydonia.'
 i Seventy miles east of Canca is the islands city of second commercial i'm portance and the former capital, Can dia.'

THE LOWER HOUSE,

Much Sattention is befng given to the question as to which party will be In control of the lower house of con- gress after next March. From all in dications lat the present time the re- publicans have more representatives elected thdn the democrats with only @ few votes different however. There remains to be settled some contested cases and there are @ couple of pro- gressives a. southern protectionist and an Independent to be reckoned with but the prospects are good that the republicans will be able to perfect the organization of that body. That will mean the breaking up of the solid democratic control in Washington, the desirability of which on the part of the people cannot be questioned in view of the large gains which the re- publicans have made there despite the outcome over the head of the ticket.
 This of course carries with it re- sponsihility. It means that the re- publicarls will have to bear the bur den instead of their opponents in re- gard to whatever action is taken by that body and that is matter of no slight consideration when it is real ized that the democrats are in control in the senate and in the White House There are also the disadvantages of having congress divided for it breaks up what would otherwise be the oper- ation of the democratic machine along well oiled ways, but there can be nc doubt if the outcome is such as is in- dicated at the present time, that this responsibility will be fully assumed and that the republican house will carefully guard the interests of the country in whatever action Is taken therein, and that of course is what il is obligated to do.

MACHINE GUNS.

It was only a short time ago that there was considerable criticism of one If the government departments be- cause of the fact that a machine gun, which had been invented by Colonel Lewis of the United States army and offered to the government had been turned down without a thorough try out and investigation. New attention had been directed to this matter by the part which the gun is playing in Europe where it is being used in some os the most important operations of the allied armies.
 That those in charge of the matter of determining the type of machine gun this country should adopt had
