We care not of the Europe scrap,
We care not of the fuss of kings,
We care not how much they change

And such inconsequential things,
We care not OF Pres. Woodrow,
We care not OF Chuck Hughes,
We care not how the people go,
Or if they both should lose.
We care not of the Red Sox,
Or the Brooklyns or the Phils,
Or whether Freddie Welsh will box
Or of the monthly bills.
In fact, we care for nothing,
For fall will soon begin,
And we will yell and cheer and sing
When the foot ball boys check in
The St. Louis Cards have
signed a new shortstop named
Rohn And, according to his

nounced Bohn as n bon-bon, and
"Bohn" as in bone.

Which Is
Interesting To
Women Folks

ATLANTA, Ca, March 27.-Accord-
ing to well known local modiste, the
followers of feminine fashions would
be surprised to find what deep, dark
dressmaking secrets are often con-
cealed under apparently innocent and
obviously charming innovations.
There's buttons, for example; two to
a coat is now smart style, one to hold
the collar, ont to fasten the belt. And
an attractive little trick is to fasten
them with silk cords, rather than with
the old-fashioned worked buttonholes.
This is not mere caprice of fashion,
however. 1t is a carefully planned
economy of the manufacturers. For
behind those two buttons is the saw
ing of thousands of dollars with the
manufacturers. They do not have to
pay for making buttonholes.

NO JOINT DEBATES
DURING THE YEAR

ATLANTA, Ca, March 27.-There
will be no 'jnt debates" in the CUB
ernatorial race this year, and local
political commentators are rejoicing
over the fact that the time-honored
double-bareIled fireworks features of
political campaigns appear to be rele-
gated permanently to the past.
This is not boost for either candi-
date, but a mere chronicling of the
fact that it may be safely inferred
from various statements made by both
gentlemen now in the race, that how
ever much the may discuss in
speeches the various issues Of the
campaign separately, they are not go
ing to infict on the people any joint
political disputes, such as used to
grace-or disgrace-the stump in
days of old.
Jim Nevin, in congratulating every
BODY on this happy fact, says:
"As we have conducted them in
Georgia, join debates have usually
served not to illuminate issues and en-
tighten the public mind but rather to
obscure issues and befuddIe the be-
hearers.
The speakers inevitably foresake
argument in favor of personal abuse.
and joint debates often degenerate III
to mere mud singing contests"

Socialist Strength Among

The secretary of the famous Social

in an in interview with a correspond
ent of the Associated Press, has de-
scribed the present position of that
body and the various European groups
which it comprises in regard to the
war, pointing out the obstacles which
still prevent united action and dealing
with the outlook for the future.
While the executive of the Interna-

which the French party maintains in
view of the presence of a German ar

Hungarian and Belgian deputies who
recently visited The Hague for the pur-
pose.
Hope of ultimately bringing the va
riOus branches Of the International to-
gether again has thus by no means
been abandoned The position is that
the central organization is still in
complete touch with all the affiliated
groups, but that these groups are not
all in touch with one another. Such AL
international congress could be held
tomorrow, said NJ. Huysmans, but he
maintained that, without complete rep
resentation, it would be useless, ami
even dangerous, as tending to SOW sus-
picion.
Alsace-Lorraine is, he stated, still
the stumbling block, but compromise
on this subject is, in his opinion es

view of what the nature of that com,

lieved it wise to withhold.

estimate of their power in regard to
Fastening the end of the war is, in
fact, not high one. And as regards

danger of a definite cleavage if the
majority persist in supporting the i'm
perial governments policy.
The attitude OF the Hungarian party
is an interesting one. Not only do
they think a speedy peace is necessa-

be remembered, has just conferred with
some of their number, but they are
Of opinion that bridge can be built
