you will notice Dido walk in almost
a straight line and Aeneas, going the
opposite way, zigzagging around her
and many Of her who happen to walk
toward him. TO the left; to the
right; to the nearest open space he
wanders, almost bewildered and fear
ing to collide with Dido.
It is because man is obliging and
respectful to woman, is it? Not by
any means, as many Dido who has
hung to straps in the street car while
an Aeneas sat comfortably before her,
can testify.
The matter is, Aeneas makes up his
mind on the spur Of the moment,
while Dido thinks and reasons, then
decides and then determines. Aeneas
is too impatient to 60 through that
process.
But Dido has become so used to 1t
that between thought and determine
ton is as a flash to her. She has
cultivated the habit of determination.
So it is in all walks of life-in the
office, at home, on the street and i'll
the public hall. Dido determines,
while Aeneas just decides. That's the
cause Of the universal joke on the
office who is just humble, obeying
husband at home.
If Dido and Aeneas both determin
ed, they would keep to the right in
walking, working and wooing and
there would be no confusion.
AS the matter now stands, the most
uncertain creature on earth is man!

WHY NoT7

Suppose the Amalgamated Order Of
Bookkeepers, through their chairman,
waited on the boss tomorrow mornine
and said: "Eoss, we must have 100
per cent increase in our wages!"
Or suppose the international Asso-
citation OF Clerical Workers did the
same; Or the Confederated Brother
hood Of Police Court Reporters?
Wouldn't there be a shock in the
front Office?
~ Yet. why not? We read in the pa
pers that the Swift company, pack.
ers of beef, have just cut melon
of 100 per cent stock issue, or It's
equivalent in cash. The Armour firm
has declared a special 100000 divi:
dend, an equivalent of nearly 100 PEI
cent profits for the stockholders. The
steel trust has just announced quar-
terlyt earnings Of 81 millions and a
few hundred odd thousands. In other
words, corporations every day, we
learn from the papers, are acknowl
edging profits of 100 per cent.
The four railway brotherhoods have
been frightfully abused for asking q
reduction in hours, equivalent, the
railroads claim, to a 20 per cent raise
in wages. How much have the mid
die class mans, the salaried mans
wages been increased? How many
instances can you find in which his
income has been doubled? How
many in which it has been increased
to the extent of Is per cent, which
represents the rise in the retail price
Of food during the past five years!
How many cases are there where
wages have been increased 10 pei
cent, which represents the rise in re-
tail prices of food during the last
year?
Think it over. Suppose your book
keeper announced to his boss: II
have decided to take enough in salary
to cover depreciation, meaning depre
citation of my health, my age and my
mental powers" Suppose the book
keeper announced further that he
would like sinking fund.-" fund
for increasing his equipment" also
an amount to be set aside as ''sur'
plus; an amount for future better
ments"; special fund to pay tax
es."
Why should corporations talk the
language Of "betterments," Surplus
es," depreciation" sinking funds
etc, and not the salaried man? A
corporation only has money invested
in its business. The individual Is
selling his brains, his life, and his
body. Which has the higher claim!

Washington, Feb 12-With the possible arrival today
of the German notices of intent to torpedo armed
merchantmen without warning, the American govern
ment faced one of the most serious and intricate dpo
matte questions since the started Indications are
that Secretary Of State Lansing will admit the soundness
of the foundation on which the TeutOns have built their
contention that arming merchantmen makes the usual
visit and search impossible before attack by submarines
Such agreement with the Teuton notes would be followed
by warning to Americans not to travel on armed allied
merchant ships.
Meanwhile allied diplomats are beginning to feel that
if the United States acqiesces in change Of rules con-
cening armament while the is in progress it would
be only short step change of view that would result
in placing an embargo munitions traffic. The United
States has held such trade legal and neutral but the
allies suggest that modification of the submarine policy
may forecast modification of the munitions policy too
government official admitted today he is considering
the possibility that the allies ship lines would boycott
American goods billed for other ports than their own
but he believes that such boycott could be fought sue
cessfuly.
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin has already forwarded
a summary of the German notice, while Ambassador
Pened cabed that he had received Austrias and was
forwarding it.

is strong idea that a "dark horse "

German.American opposition has de-

much as he is Of Canadian birth.
There is much talk that Major Gen

II is believed that the president has
simmered the possibilities down to

in the past for almost every post, are
