TRADITIONS LOST IN WAR

Wars work the most surprising
results. and the present war is no
exception. and has resulted in
two notable conditions; one in
England, the other in Russia.
The daughter of the well-to-do
class in England has from time
immemorial been hedged about
with all manner of restrictions.
She has known nothing of the
freedom Of opportunity which the
American girl in the same social
level has enjoyed as matter of
fact. The demand for men for
enlistment in England has nat
urally been a, heavy drain on all
kinds of work which had hitherto
been performed almost exclusive
ly by men. This created vacan-
cies in occupations which were
possible to be filled by women.
And so today in London one
finds. as conductors on the thou
sands of motor busses, young
women. suitab blv dressed for the
work, filing the places made
vacant by men who have gone
to the front. The passenger ele-
vators in most Of the cities are

! On motion Of Mr.. Valet, sec
onded by Mr.. Landry, and ear
ried. the Parish Superintendent
was authorized and instructed to
follow out the suggestions made
by the State Superintendent OF
Education concerning the fitting
up Of the Loreauville School with
necessary equipment, and the APP
pointment Of teachers for the said
school for the coming session, to
the end that the said school may
be designated a State Approved
High School as soon as it meets
the requirements Of the State De-
partment Of Education.
Mr.. n. j. ,Derouen, a patron of
the Marcel School, appeared be-
for the Board and asked that the
said Marcel School be allowed an
assistant teacher, the said school
having had an enrolment OF
ninety-two pupils during the past
session, with only one teacher in
charge.
On motion Of Mr., Landry. Sec
onded by Mr.. Moresi, and carried,
the Superintendent was author
lied to appoint an assistant teach
er for the Marcel School, and to
make the necessary provisions
for the accommodation of two
teachers in the said school.
There being no. further busi-
ness, the Board adjourned.

operated by young women. Thou
sands of motor taXicabs -through-
out the country are driven by
! young women. Girls from fam
lies of wealth and refinement
have left their schools, CORE
spending to our Wellesley and
= Nassar, to return home and take
positions as stenOgraphers and
: clerks, who never before in all
their lives had even seen a type
writing machine. In eases where
the salary they earn is not need
ed. they donate the entire amount
each month to some one Of the
funds for the relief of wounded
soldiers or their families. These
girls cannot go to the front, but
they make it possible for some
young man to do so.
To an American girl this seems
no more than the logical, obvious
thing to do, and only those who
know, from personal observation
Of the severe social restrictions in
England will realize what start
ling departure from what was the
"correct thing" all this really IS.
The probability and from an
American viewpoint, the hope-is
that when peace is restored, out
of it all will come greatly en-
larged life for English women.
Indeed, it seems hardly possible
that there can ever be an entire
restoration to the old order Of
affairs.
The other startling condition
was the ukase which with one mo-
ton converted vodka-sodden
from a Russian peasant was like
taking beer from a German, al
though the former drink was cast
ly more injurious. The results Of
this Involuntary temperance are
as most interesting, one
Of which is a sudden and tremend-
Gus increase in savings-banks de-
p0sits and accounts, and greatly
efficiency in the masses.
1t is pleasing and heartening to
have these two pictures, one of
patriotism and the other of the
better life, to hold up in contrast
to the horrible and revolving as
poets Of the great confict.-H. II.

WILSON AND ARBITRATION
It is wonderful to note the anxiety of
the trust press less the principle Of
arbitration should perish from the
earth because President Wilson has
been endeaVOring to settle the rail-
road deadlock without a strike.
A year ago when Mayor Thomp-
son used a similar method in settling
the street car strike he was so highly
commended by this same press, the
Manufacturers assn and Assn of
Commerce, as well as the public gen
orally, that he grew overnight into a
presidential possibility.
But times have changed since
then. We have a presidential cam
paign on and there seems to be great
fear lest Mr.. Wilson should gain some
political advantage from his efforts
to serve well the interests of the 9TH
er ninety-nine million.
Mr.. Wilson occupies the position
of a referee where two parties are en-
gagged in a death struggle, endanger-
ing themselves and the OnlOokers,
and he seems to believe it wiser to
part the cOmbatants than to let them

can decently champion themselves
by words when it comes to resenting
an insult or an imaginary one.
Theda Bara wasn't long cOnVinc-
ing the public and her accUsers that
the part she plays in the movies and
the one she takes in real life are al
together different.
Theda Bara, like a great many
more women, is a great teacher. She
shows old men how foolish they are
to think that. young girls can ever
learn to love them enough to chain
themselves to them through life. She
shows young girls how unWary they
are not to foresee the consequence
of flirting with every Tom, Dick and
Harry, and pulling their leg for the
almighty dollar. She shows young
fellows how blind they are not to see
the danger in loving every girl they
happen to meet. She teaches fathers
and mothers not to be too hard on
the boy or girl gone wrong, for they
do not know how soon their own
may go wrong and can feel glad if
they do not go wrong.
Theda Bara is doing a powerful
lot of good and deserves credit and
success. We can stand many more

shoot up the public and let the facts
come out at the inquest.
Let arbitration and investigation
begin where President Wilson leaves
off.
If after fair investigation a small
percentage must be added to our
freight rates the great American pub
lie will not grumbIe. For while man
ufactureTs and commercial assOcia-
lions present their grandstand, objec-
tions, after all it's the great cOnsum-
ing public that pays the freight bills,
and any legitimate advance that
might be allowed would be a mere
pittance compared with the monetary
loss of a prolonged railroad strike,
to say nothing of the inconvenience,
human suffering and even death that
would stalk in the wake Of such a
strike.-P. S. Heating.

RAILROAD RATES.-The poor
railroads ought to have an increase
in their rates if they grant their en-
pIoyes an eight-hour day and in
crease their pay. Last year they or
dered 29,864 new cars, because bus
mess was so bad. If you don't believe
that they are poor read the follow
