The New American Doll.
(The Worlds Work).

The day of the old-fashoned Ger man doll has gone, probably forever. She was always an unnatural, arti- .ficial product, with her porcelain face, painted like a chorus girl, her pop ping blue eyes her mass of unvary ing golden hair, her highly colored "ruby' lips. No single thing in the nursery was the cause of so many tragedies. Drop her on the floor and the head would usually go flying into a dozen parts, and legs and arms con- stantly bled sawdust so profusely as to suggest the carnage of a European battlefield. Little girls who could easily manufacture a baby out of the family ragbag had no difficulty in mothering one of these queer prod- ucts of the Germanic genius, and so millions of Americans have been brought up on them. But their day, we are told, is over.
 The European war Which had end- ed most kinds of immigration, has shut out these little wanderers American genius which is now being called upon to manufacture coal tar dyes hexamethyl1ne and manicure scissors, is also turning it's attention to dolls. Our success has been so great, we are told, that not only shall we not import any more dolls from the Fath erland, but that we shall probably sell them in Nuremberg it. self! For our dollmakers have turned realists. Their products are indi- vidualized like a real baby. No more unglazed porcelain faces; those Amer ican dolls are really flesh color, and their heads have the additional value of durability. These little creatures are already so popular that our toy factories are running day and. night to supply the demand It Is one of the pleasanter aspects of the war

AN EPOCH-MAK SPEECH.

All wires are cleared today for the one great piece of news,-DaVid Lloyd Georges speech in Parlia ament. It is doubtful if there was ever a speech delivered upon any occasion that commanded the attention of this epoch-making oratory. The entire world awaits the words of the new Premier. There was like interest displayed at the outset of the war when Viscount Grey discussed the ad- visibility of Great Britain entering the war. But even that speech will fade: into insignifcance with the forensic endeavors of Lloyd George who is practically to decide whether England shall accept the peace pro- posals of Germany or wage a relent- less warfare. That the stock mar way or the other by what Lloyd George has to say is g, foregone con- cluson. Billions of dollarS will be lost or gained on the position he takes. ...- {
 If, as is anticipated, the English, government fails to accept the peace note at it's face value the cause must be attributed to the vagueness of the proposals and the indefiniteness of the terms advanced by Germany. Even before the note was handed by Walter H. Page, the American am l ibassador In London, to the Foreign Office, neutrals all over the world 1 had been disappointed by the peace proposals. There were no proposals Is | that suited the vast majority of those ! interested in a lasting peace The 1 political organs in Germany in ad-

Married Men.
(Kansas City Star).

Warden Tynan of the Colorado State penitentiary told the City Club that married men don't get into the penitentiary" More accurately, from 70 to 80 per cent of the inmates are single men. Golfers reports the vice president of a big insurance com pany as saying that 8 study of the work of nearly 24,0OO agents showed a big advantage for the married men, They were more persistent and they get more business.

 cade There are not enough men in
 the various component parts of the
 army to really take care of all the
 equipment belonging to Uncle Sam.
 There are not enough men in the navy
 to look after the battleships and man
 the cruisers. It is not surprising then
 that radical steps are considered. For the plan proposed by General Scott
 and which has the sanction of Gen
 eral Leonard Wood, head of the De-
 partment of the East, and of the War
 Department, is indeed radical. Tn
 some of it's phases it is decidedly un-

 United States would be a military
 power greater than any in Europe at the outbreak of the present war.
 England's army today, after two and
 a half years preparation, numbers approximately 100000 trained men. Germany's is about the same or probably stronger; but at the outset of the war it is doubtful if France, or England, or even Germany possessed as great an army as that which the General staff and it's head y1-o 16 firm f1y n c t11t n this country. It would seem that some other method could be devised for setting up an army capable of taking care of the interests of the United States. The compulsory enlistment of men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five will not be a popular move. Fathers taken away from their families will add greatly to the unpopuarity of such a movement. Without being in any way connected with the United States Army Colonel ce-presidency on the Progressive ticket, advanced what seems on it's face to be a better scheme than that put forward by General Scott. Colonel Parker would compel the enlistment of every boy in the country between the ages of eighteen and nineteen in a sort of auxiliary to the army. At that age the military training would be beneficial to the boys and a safe guard to the nation. Tn after years these same troops could rally to the defense of the flag and require but little seasoning. If there must be compulsory military training in the United States it should be put in eff feet where it will cause the least in that is, among the under twenty-one.

California at the Bat.

(DaVlS m St. Louis POSt-DlSpdIcll) The outlook wasn't brilliant for the
 democrats that night; New York had gone republican and
 Wall Street claimed the fight. They thought it was a landslide and
 the horns began to tool If New York went republican the
 west MUST follow suit. A struggling few got up to go in deep
 despair. The rest Clung to the hope that ever springs
 within the human breast, They thought if only Illinois with her
 brave suffragettes Should swing in line for Wilson they
 would soon be cashing bets But when New Jersey threw 'em
 down the democrats were blue; Then Illinois declared for Hughes
 and Indiana, too. Upon that stricken multitude grim
 melancholy sat. For California's choice was slim for
 getting to the bat. Then Colorado singled to the wonder
 ment of all, And Kansas and Ohio knocked the
 cover off the ball; Nebraska nicked the pellet ana the
 clouds began to lift, For Hughes was now depending on
 the "Minnesota shift" Then from five million throats and more there rose a lusty yell; It rumbled through the valley and it
 echoed through the dell, It pounded on the mountain and re-
 coiled upon the flat, For mighty California was coming to
 the bat.
 Ten million eyes were on her as the votes came rolling in; Five million tongues were roofing
 for the president, to win, Ten million hands applauded as the
 tickers licked the news And it was plainly evident the stuff
 was offa,with Hughes. "Fraud!" cried the maddened mil-
 lionaires, and Echo answered,
 's'Fraud!" But one scornfu1 look from Wilson
 and the plutocrats. were awed; They saw his face grow stern and
 cold, they saw his muscles
 strain,
 And they knew that Mir. Wilson would be president again. The sheer has fled from Hughes lips,
 his whiskers curl with hate; He knocks with cruel violence his
 hammer on the plate, And now the votes are totalled and
 now they let 'em go, And now his hopes are shattered by
 old California's blow. Oh, somewhere in this favored land
 the sun is shining bright, And somewhere there are people who
 are shouting with delight; And somewhere bands arc playing
 and the children romp and
 shout, But there is no joy in Wall Street. California slammed it out!
