 It is interesting to know that con scription is in force in Holland today Before the war the young men of each district drew lots to determine who should serve and who shouldn't. Today every youth must serve in the army unless physically unfit. Never theless, the people of Holland are very well satisfied with their present form of government The queen is very popular. and is frequently seen walking about The Hague attended by single companion. The Socialists make little noise from time to time, but they are in the decided minority. Little by little the country is regain ing it's former prosperity, and a big boom is expected after the war. No one was able to give me any real req son for their optimism, but the fact remains that they are optimistic.

"PainIess" Dentists.

Of course you recall the day when your first baby tooth" was discovered to be loose and mother offered to pull it out with string. No. indeed. This was no mollycoddle job. No one ex- cept dentist with forceps and gas should remove that tooth. And so. leaving mother at home where she be- longed, you and father went to the dentist. And the dentist, who was just leaving his office, met you in the hall, and seizing your chin, opened your mouth. When you indicated the loose tooth he took his thumb and gave a little push. And you spat the tooth out on the floor and bawled with rage and humiliation. No gas. no forceps, didn't even put you in the chair. No wonder you feel like smash ing every window you see bearing the letters ID. D. S."-Kansas City Star,

 The boilers of the battleships Georgia and Virginia, both of which have been in almost constant service for 10 years, have shown such weak ness, NIT. Daniels said, as to require that these vessels be withdrawn from active service to have their boilers re- placed.
 The estimates were referred to the appropriations committee for inclu- sion in the urgent deficiency bill.
 "The largest single item under the bureau of ordnance is for mines" Sec retary Daniels said Mining has at tained in the existence of war abroad such importance as to point strongly to the advisability of increasing the provision for this method of defense"

 What The Hague Is Like.
 The Hague is one of the smallest and least distinguished capitals in Europe. It is really only suburb of Rotterdam, for it is but twenty-five minutes ride by electric train. It has population of about 300,000 It's most imposing pile is the unused Peace palace. The Royal palace looks more like barracks than a queens residence
