District of Columbia laws which are in force at the present time and both advocated the drafting of an entirely new law.
 Mrs. Le Fevre discussed the bill at some length and her remarks were enlightening and interesting. She contended that most men were good husbands and cared for their wives in the best possible manner. but that there are a few husbands who are not so good and laws should be made to provide check on the latter class.
 She stated that many women have no homes and are forced 10 marry men whether they cared for them or not in order to get homes. and as long as they stayed in it and did their share of the work. they were entitled to one half of the worldly goods of their husbands Mrs. Le- Fevre did not contend that the wo- man should take part with her hus- band in running business. but that
 
 had should go to the wife. and that if he only had home or even the furnishings. that were acquired be- fore marriage and paid for by the individual efforts of the husband, when he took wife, one half of that home should Immediately be- come her property and he should not have the right to sell it without her consent.
 Senator Heckman explained that the bill as introduced was the one which passed the Senate by unani nous vote last session and that he thought it was good bill for that reason. He frankly stated that it did not meet with his entire approy- al and should be amended in certain parts.

Frightfulness

Germany is said to have calculated quite
coolly the cost of its submarine campaign
against neutrals. But, says a writer in
Leslie's, the kaiser'E government did not
foresee the full cost of frightfulness. There
is a big penalty to be considered after
peace is restored. 1t will be impossible for
the Fatherland to recover the world trade
that was abandoned when the first blow
was struck against Belgium. Germany's
merchant marine is now flying an enemy
flag and conveying troops and munitions
te enemy trenches. The vast amount OF
money and supplies stored in the United
States for safekeeping has been taken over
by a representative of the United States
government and undoubtedly will be con-
verted, sooner or later, into Liberty Bonds,
The American Federal Trade Commission
has just released the priceless store of
German scientific information, formerly
protected by patents and copyrights, to the
manufacturers in this country. The longer
the war lasts the more firmly will Ger
many's rivals be e%ntrenched for the com
ing fight for trade supremacy.

Doing Your Bit

Government officials have objected to
the use of the expressing doing your
bit" on the ground that the phrase, Crlgi-
nstrd by the British 50 e-s, refers TO
tn. small sum Of twelve and a halt cents
and signifies that you are merely per.
forming your %perfunctory share. contribut-
ing your pro rata, etc.; and that we should
substitute for the expression doing your
best"
This seems to US as far fetched as OBJ
jecting to calling an American soldier a
Sammy because it isn't dignified. Imagine
an American soldier charging the Boches
in a restrained and "dignified" manner.
Doing Your Bit means in America doing
your best; it has become a vastly popular
means of expressing the idea and of course
will stick. Doing your bit" means just the
opposite from being a Stacker; and we all
know that if we do our bit it means we
do our utmost-and then some.

The Unity of Mothers

That the mothers Of the country will
stand together and be a source of strength
to each other is the statement made by
DR.. Kate Waller Barrett of the Mothers
Congress. She insists that the American
mother must help the foreign born Ameri-
can mother to understand the reasons for
the war. THE foreign mother cannot sup
port her boy at the front, unless she un.
derstands what he is fighting for" a y
DR.. Barrett, Chairman of the immigration
Committee of the National Council of
Women. ''The foreign mother in America,
unable to understand English, has come
to this country to be at peace, and she is
left in a chaotic state when her sons are
drafted to fight for their new country. She
cannot read the newspapers, or talk to
American women, except through her
children as interpreters. AS she cannot
understand the reasons for this war she
becomes rebelious, n her feeling is
communicated to her son in the training
camp" She must be educated in the
cause Of the war.
DR.. Barrett urges American mothers to
feel a solidarity with the Americanized
mother Of other nations. The soldier is
dependent upon the feeling in his home
for his own attitude of mind" She says,
The Mothers Congress is doing a great
work by holding meetings in many cities,
TO explain war measures, and develop the
patriotism of the bewildered foreign wom-
en-. We mothers must stand together"

Call of The Red Cross

The Fed Cross is the modern religion
the religion of pity. When humanity
dropped the cross Of Christ on August 1,
1914. 1t took up the cross of red--the color
symbolic of suffering and bloodshed, the
cross still representing the morcies of
Christ.
Never In history, says a writer In Les
lies, has any religion done more to relieve
humanity. The Red Cross knows no race,
no creed, no color. It has no reward
It lives the teaching of Christ about as
nearly as it is possible In a world where
the f~raiIties of humanity seem to be the
dominating factors of life.
Money Is needed for hospitals, supplies,
canteens and rest homes for the soldiers;
for civilian relief in devastated areas Of
Europe and to aid the families of Ameri-
cans now at the front; to care for and aid
destitute children, a task that will extend
over years; to teach the blind and MANNED
soldiers new c~aIiings and renew their
faith In God; for work among the prison
camps; to purchase food for the hungry
and clothes for the needy. infinity only
would cover the needs of an organization
that attempts the seeming impossible.
SO the call goes forth to the humbIest
IN the lands to aid their country by aid
Ing the Red Cross. One dollar for a years
membership will not overtax your purse,
even these days, when calls on the ex-
chequer are legion. And we have the sat.
isfaction Of knowing that our one dollar
will be we'll expended, for our govern
mont backs the Red Cross. That is its
guarantee. II you cannon serve at the
front and cannot buy a Liberty Bond, you
can afford a humanity bond.
And what better time to give to so
worthy a cause than at Christmas, the sea-
son so fraught with good will?

Mark Twain s Paper

The first newspaper published in NeF
vada was the Territorial Enterprise, in-
mortal as the journal to which Mark
Twain made his first literary contribu-
tions. The first number of The Enter
prise appeared at Genoa. New, SO years
ago today, Dec. IS, 1858. 1t was soon
removed to Carson, and in 1860 to Vir-
ginia City. 1t was a famous journal in
the period of Virginia City's glory, but
gradually declined, and some time ago
was merged with the Virginia City Chron-
icle. Samuel L. Clemens Joined the staff
OF the Enterprise as a reporter in 1862,
and it was as a local writer for that paper
that he first assumed the name Mark
Twain. Before becoming a regular men,
Der of the staff he had been a country
correspondent Of the Enterprise at Aurora,
signing his letters Josh" Upon his ar
rival in Virginia City all the Entei prise
boys called him Josh" He didn't like
it, and casting about for a sobriquet more
to his taste, he recalled his steamboating
days, when the %soundings were called by
the mark on the lead line. Thus he came
to adopt the pen name of Mark Twain
Another brilliant writer employed by the
Enterprise, and an associate Of Clemens,
was William Wright, better known as Dan
de guile, who also achieved considerable
note as a humorist.

The Red Cross Lie

War Ananias clubs are advocated for
the identification and segregation of cir
~culators of malicious rumors n false
reports tending to cast suspicion n dis
trust upon our Government, and thus hamp.
err the prosecution of the war. The Ma
tional Committee of Patriotic Societies
posted on some conspicuous corner in every
community and that the stories and the
story-teller's names be sent to the local
newspapers and to the committees Wash
ington headquarters. The Chicago Daily
News agrees with the committee that
every member of the War Ananias Club
is sticking a knife into the back of some
American soldier and declares that wheth-
er or not the suggested clubs are formed,
lit is assuredly the duty of patriotic citi-
zens to challenge every dubious whispered
tale that tends to cast suspicion on the
American Government OF the American
military forces" TIE repeat such q
lis to lend aid to the enemy"
The worst of all the lies being circu.
lated is the Red Cross lie. 1t has been
heard, even in Santa e, the lie that Red
Cross subscriptions finance a graft and
that the MONEY doesn't 50 into relief for
the soldier. Such a fantastic ia ,, of
course, originally springs from pro-German
sources, like practically aid the rest of
them. The unscrupulousness of the lie
mongers is no better demonstrated than
by this attack on the work which is

Demonstrate The Beans

The plan of placing a New Mexico
pinto bean demonstration in each of the
army camps to show the American soldier
what he is missing in not getting it as
"a daily ration, and to make him clamor
for it loudly, is a good one. The soldier
simply must get acquainted with his best
friend and the one that sticks longest to
his ribs in camp or trench. In this con-
nection the most important thing is for
the bean growers of the state to organize
and finance such a demonstration of the
pinto which will most assuredly establish
the permanent market which is desired,
and greatly expand the industry in this
state.

Today's Anniversary

The first meeting or the Anti-Saloon
League Of America was held in Washing
ton ~ years ago today, December Is,
1895, when a few opponents Of liquor as
sembled and launched the organization
which has since carried on an interna-
tional crusade against the traffic in al
coholic beverages. Beginning in a inod-
est way, the league has spread to every
state of the Union, and it claims to have
been largely instrumental in converting a
convertible proportion of the United States
into dry" territory. Howard H. Russell
Of Westerville, O., was the founder of the
league. 1t is the announced intention
of its leaders to bring about the absolute
annihilation Of the liquor business in the
United States by 1928, which is the year
which has been set for the consumption
of the last drink of booze" in Uncle
Sans dominions. The operations of the
league have been of a much more practi-
cal nature than those of most reform
bodies. and the "Anti-Salooners' are rec
ognizcd by the liquor interests as their
most formidable foes.

Hardly Unprecedented

Herbert Hoover's reply to the charge OF
Claus Spreckels, head of the Federal Sugar
Refining company, that the food admins
tration had created a shortage in sugar
seems to have been fairly effective. The
food administrator pointed out that the
American people have had $780, 900 tons OF
sugar in the past two months-seventy
per cent OF their norma consumption. 1T
cars are available" said Mr.. Hoover, they
will have 70 per cent in December"
This 70 per cent is twice the French ra-
tion. in the meantime" said Mr.. Hoover.
I'VE have given France a good part of the
80 per cent and are proud of it." The
food administrator points out that as head
of a great refining company, Mr.. Spreckels
has had his profits mercilessly chopped
and hence could not be expected to en-
thuse over the food administration. Which
would appeal to the casual observer as
quite probable.
AS we get it, the object of the food adj
ministration is not to see that everyone
in America has his usual supply of sugar
at peace time prices, but that America
gets along with as little sugar as feasible
in order that France may have any at
all. The object of this, as we under
stand it, is to help Win the War. We
believe the majority Of Americans are in
sympathy with the object and inclined 10

mental task; and that they will carefully
scrutinize the probable motives of men

John Barleycorn Again
(Las Vegas Optic)


A man was arrested last night on a
Santa Fe train by Officer Pierce Murphy.
His arrest will make him arrive in a
Missouri town too late to attend the fun
eral OF his aged father. Booze is to
blame. The man has been living in Art
iona, where he found the obtaining of
whiskey so difficult that he gave up
drinking it. At Albuquerque he purchased
a bottle of red eye" and shortly after
wards became SO manageable that tho
conductor had him arrested here. A Las
Vegas man this morning used the case as
an argument against prohibition. He said
a state shouldn't get men so they couldn't
drink and then allow them to fall intO
a trap the first time they tried a nip in
some other place. On the other hand,
think of the misery of those trained to
imbibe, and kept in perfect practice, when
suddenly dropped down into a dry area.
New Mexico is glad she voted dry. It's
a shame the new law didn't go into eff
feet in time to save the sorrowful traveller
from the loss of his self-respect.

No Invasion of England
(By Henry Farrand Griffin in

LeSll0'S)
Curious stories Of great agitation in
England over the danger of a German in
vasion are again coming over the cables.
1t Is difficult to understand how intelligent
people can take such stories seriously.
While the British navy retains command
of the sea there is about as much chance
of England's being invaded from the moon
as from Germany. 1t is an axiom OF
modern strategy that no successful over
seas operation can be undertaken while a
hostile fleet of anywhere equal strength
remains undefeated. The German military
leaders may try to persuade their people
that the British fleet is in hiding while
the German fleet freely sails the seas,
but we can be certain that they will never
base their strategy upon any such whimsi-
cal assumption. Perhaps the invaders are
going to arrive by Zeppelin, submarine or
airplane. Perhaps a tunnel has been built
under the North Sea. Unless one is will
ling to take stock in such fantastic pos
sibilities" as these the chances of a Ger
man invasion OF England may be estimated
at minus zero. Sometime the development
of aircraft may reach a point that will
end England's immunity, despite her con-
troll Of the sea. But that day is still to
come.

There seems to be plenty OF logic and
common sense in the suggestion that New
Mexico's tax problems be handled by a
n-ear-permanent board of the best talent
available, who shall be paid conmenslir-
ate salaries and devote all their time to
the task. Certainly, the work which deals
with raising the money to pay all the
