Confessions ofaM16

For a long time he sat. quite
still in the steamer chair that
was drawn close to the rail, but
he did not seem to be. seeing the
path of silver that led up from
the side of the boat to heaven it
self.
He finally got up with an inn
patient sigh and opening a tightly
closed hand disclosed lying In the
palm the twin to my little jade
god.
With a bitter lifting of the thin
lips into what might have been a
smile of derisiOn for himself, he
made as though to throw the bau-
BILE of superstition into his pocket.
Slowly the picture faded. I
opened my eyes, but I am sure I
had not been asleep.
Tightly clasped in my hand was
the bit of carved jade.
I too would have been tempted
to throw it far out into the street

Somebody Wakes Up

Well, well! The park board has decided to spend
little of its money recreationa features in Point
Defiance park!
The world do move.
1t is now proposed to build, presumably for this
coming season. athletic park east of the carline
near the entrance.
A baseball field, basketball court a race course
and other game facilities are to be provided.
That is fine. 1t is exactly the sort of thing for
which The Times has been contending these many
months.
If we had our way in theTmatter we would make
only one change in the boards PLAN We'd take the
1900 which the board is going to sink in paving the
road to the point and invest it also in tennis
courts and play fields.
Point Defiance park does not need concrete and
asphalt paving half much it does facilities for
play.

THE LITTLE JADE
GOD OF DREAMS

I've a perfectly terrible confess
sion to make to you, little book.
Just now | am thinking more
about Malcolm Stuart than any
one else in the world.
That was a very clever idea on
his part to pique my curiosity by
not giving me an address where
| could either send the little god
back or at least thank him for it.
Somewhere in the Orient"
little book, is a man who evident
ly thinks of me occasionally. He
certainly can still make himself
"the most interesting man" to
me.
l have been keeping the little
jade god under my pillow and do
you know, little box, that some
times when / take 1t in my hand
the calm countenance seems al
most to want to tell me some
thing.
Jim Edie came to see me yes
terday and was very enthusiastic
over Dick.
81 tell you what, Margie," he
said, 81 hate like the deuce to
have you in this condition, but it
is just fine to have old Dick
around again. We have gone
back to our old chummy days
when we confided to each other
our ambitions and dreams"
Have either of on still
dreams, jim? / can understand
that you might still have ambi-
tions. But dreams! You both
are older than I and for me
dreams are fled"
The moment / said that that
little jade god slipped down into
my sight from under the pillow
and / felt myself coloring, for |
knew that what l had just said
had been a lie. l still have
dreams, little box, and / expect
that the little jade god knows
more about them than even you
or |.
Someway / am getting an un-
canny feeling about that little
jade god. Last night l was look
ing at it and admiring the Won
derful detail of the carving when
all at once I seemed to see a
yacht skimming along on moon
lit sea. On the deck was a man
in white which the tropic moon
made almost lustrous.
He was alone and his two thin
lips were pressed closely together,
making only a scarlet line.

COCOANUT OIL MAKES

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what
you wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and 10 very harmful.
Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for sham

teaspoonfuls will make an abund-

War Economy

Prosperity and the high cost of living generally
travel together.
Therefore the most thoughtful of the woman's
of the day placing considerable en-
phasis the increasing necessity for the American
women to study economy.
Prominent English women are making the same
preachment.
Among the English apostles of war economy is
Flora Annie Steele who has written more success
full novels than any of her time, with the ex-
ception of Marie COrell
Mrs. Steele knows that increased domestic econ
omy means more work for housewives.
But she also believes that women should under
take this extra work in willing spirit and not look
upon it hardship.
Speaking of novel writing and homework, she
says, II have done every kind of servants work in
my own house and have found it light beyond com
|parison."
Thousands of American women who work. for
wages will agree with Mrs. Steele.
Most of them have home of some kind to keep in
order and some dependent person, parent invalid
or child to cook for.
They know that homework is not a hardship and
that the average could and should do little
more of it, if this prosperity is to have any per-
manent effect upon the welfare of the nation,

Ford Aduertises

War is not an opinion it is a fact
VI Man has two appetites which are also facts These
appettes may be satisfied, but they can never be
baked nor destroyed
Over-population is the result of one of them The
exchange of food products, or commerce between
nations is the result of the other War follows both
Henry Ford has hunch that preparedness
causes war. He wants to stop the present prepared
ness plans of congress. He is trying to wish his
opinion on the rest of us. He is willing to spend
several million dollars to convert us. He is print
ing his opinion-as paid advertisement-in many
leading newspapers and magazines. Whoever pre-
pared the copy did neat bit of literary work. It's
easy to read And the printers paid to set up
In fine large type also easy to read And these are
two good reasons why lots of people will read it.
BUT-FORDS OPINION DEALS WITH
THE SURFACES and not with the depths of
militarism and preparedness
He speaks OF armies and ornaments, of taxes
and of miseries- but never of the fundamentals
of war
He ignores propagation of races national
psychology and international commercial fric-
ton which always start the war torch blazing
Nobodys opinion will make silver whistle from
a sow's ear Nor will Henry Ford's opinion of wal
and its cure ever make him authority worth lis
tenng to on war and it's causes.
But that is the problem of the United States
whether Ford sees it or not.
"You cannot haggle with an earthquake" said
Lloyd-George to the English munition workers. In
this classic sentence he condenses all that is newt
able in war, and all that is futile in pacificism.
Ford asks us to haggle with the inevitable up
heavas of races
He urges every American to protest against pre-
paredness.
We urge every American to support prepared
ness.
1t is time to put aside the sentmentalists theories
about world want it.
We must live in the world as it is, with man as ht
is ruled by his two great appetites.
