THE ELEVATOR GIRL

From the New York Herald.
 The elevator girl Is the most recent enrolment in the ranks of the city's feminine toilers. She Is not volunteer In the great industrial army, but was drafted to take the place of the male youth enlisted in defense of his country.
 Although new to her duties, she already has shown herself to be a distinct per- sonality, and easily distinguishable from stenographers, milliners' apprentices, tel ephone girls and cash girls. cheerful and willing worker, she has not yet yearned her predecessors trick of saying: Mrs Jones has went out shopping; I seen her go," in order to save himself the pain of a trip to the upper floor. She is quick to learn the name and floor of each and every tenant and to estab- fish good relations with their children. In point of loQuacity she ranks somo- where between a cash girl and stenog- rapher, and her conversation is rAcy of the city's soil. Of sociable turn, she loves to engage in brisk chat with the tenant whom she is carrying upward, and when engrossed in that diversion Is apt to convey him up to the roof.
 We probably shall have musical com edy called "The Elevator Girl' before long. Not even the restricted field oi her activities can save us from that.

RESTING PLACE FOR RILEY rom the Indianapolis News.

Aohii tHS IHuldLdpollB 1tSW1.
 Almost coincident with the celebration of the birthday of James Whitcomb Riley, October ', a worthy resting place for the body of the poet has just been chosen at Crown Hill cemetery.
 The site Is beautiful knoll at the sum init of the burial ground, from which there Is panoramic view to every sec tor of the distant horizon.
 The extraordinaU natural beauty Of the surroundings and the impressive loca- tion make it possible to have perma- nent monument to the poet which in every way will measure up to what the people of Indianapolis and Indiana would like to see.
 In the long decades ahead the people will turn to Riley's grave as shrine. and it is peculiarly appropriate that they should lift up their eyes to the hilp' whence will come the help Of q philosophy and beauty long to endure through the spirit of this, man. It ia felt that there can be no discrimination over others of the distinguished dead in allofing this site to James Whitcomb Riley. as he was the one native son to whom all rank. as human ambition detefmines rank, paid lovink deferencoL

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

A thin girl can give man the impress sion that she is pining away when she does a lot of signing. But when fat girl does it she merely gives him the impression that her corsets are too tight.

Interesting Case for a
 Master Psychologist

MMR. GERARD tells us that the AV4 German Emperor spoke of what he termed the uncourteous tone of our notes, saying that we charged the Germans with barbarism in war fare, and that as Emperor and head of the church he had wished to carry on the war in knightly manner.
 At the very beginning of the con flict the Kaiser broke his country's word of honor because it's violation promised military advantage" Had he felt in anywise knightly the Lusi- tania tragedy would never have oc- cured, nor would Louvain have been burned, Edith Cavell's life would have been spared, and innumerable other atrocities would never have been committed.
 The Kaiser has always been self centered, and at times self-contradic- tory. For many years after he suc- ceeded his father he acted as one i'll balanced. His arrogance was ex- cused by the German people because he was ruler by divine right and his eccentric conduct was explained as merely manifestation of genius. But as the Kaiser grew older he seemed to be better poised The Ego was present as strongly as ever, but he no longer kept his subjects wonder
 ing what he would do next"
 1 With the war under way, however,
 his old nature returned. He was more elf-contradicting than ever, his
 brutal instincts were more pronounced than ever, and his mental processes more than ever puzzling to those who saw him at close range.
 Germany's collapse is only mat ter of time. Keen observers have

Kaiser Continues
 to Travel About

HE AaiSeI, ScuIlyAAS dpoue 4 from place to place, reminds the average American of an office holder who has some important po- litical fences to mend, and there are good grounds for believing that Will helEn is doing something of that sort on larger scale.
 Here of late we read of him in first one capital and then to another. AL though the purpose of his junkets is kept secret, it is quite obvious that the political temper of his allies is not in that plastic state that he would desire and there are signs of weari- ness under the Hohenzollern domi- nance which has brought such suffer- ing on Austria Hungary in particu- lar. The Turks are beginning to chafe and they would no doubt be glad to have peace declared tomorrow, if that were possible.
 Previously the Kaiser devoted much of his time to visiting the various battle fronts and making bombastic speeches to his troops, promising vic tory and calling on the Deity for aid in the nefarious plan of forcing the world under the heel of Prussianism. Lately the Kaiser has not done SO much speechmaking He has acquired pussyfooting habits. He holds con ferences with men high in authority and then speeds away for another con- sultation somewhere else.
 The dispatches state that extensive preparations are being made to re- ceive Wilhelm in Sofia, although he but lately returned from Rumania and it was not known that he planned visit to Sofia. His mission is a po- litical one and, it is said, will have some bearing on peace terms, but it is a we'll known fact that Bulgaria, having entered the war for strictly selfish motives and having accom- plished in the main what she set out to do, is losing interest in the strug- gle. There were even rumors ths Bulgaria was figuring on leaving her Teutonic allies in the lurch.
 The Kaiser is not popular among the Bulgarian people-neithe is their own monarch, Ferdinand, for that matter-and if Sofia puts on gala at tire to receive the German Emperor, the welcome will be more or less forced and may prove lacking in cor diality.

THE OLD KENTUCKY EARL

 Men of Kentucky simply must produee something that goes about in barref. Uncle sam put their distilleries out qf the whisky making business. and thqy in part proceeded to make alcohol for tHs mechanics in their still. and the oth4r part went to boring wells that the petrf- leum of internal Kentucky might conte up and jump into barrels. perhaps tAe same old whisky barrels. Anyhow. they drilled 16e oii wells in September, if not more since the last count. and are barrel ing 75,oOo units of the oil in week.

To Arouse Interest
 in New Bond Sale

1HHE educational and spirited cam 4 paign conducted few months sgo in connection with the first lib- erty loan was remarkably successful. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo made speaking tour, which included Birmingham, and everywhere he went large and enthusiastic audiences greeted him. There were many vol unteers in the field and all of them were cordially received.
 The people were eager to learn all about the bonds-the reason for the loan and the patriotic duty of Amer jeans in the circumstances. The re- suit of the campaign was all that could have been desired. The $2,- COG, ,0OO,0 issue was oversubscribed by $1 ,0OO, 100000. Few cities failed to do more than the government had asked.
 The new loan of $3,OO0, 100000 at higher rate of interest than the first should be oversubscribed, and it surely will be if active and effective campaigners make the same earnest appeal that was made before. It might be thought that one campaign of edu- cation would be sufficient, but some men like to hear the same story over and over. Let them hear it.
 The issue now being offered will be subscribed for by the end of the month, even without much organized effort. But every bond should be sold inside of the next 10 days or two weeks. Mir. McAdoo should take noth- ing for granted, however. He should send speakers of national reputation if possible to all business and indus trial centers.
 And as the farmers especially will be urged to subscribe every farmers organization should be reached through it's officials. Informing lit erature is, of course, always in order. The more of it the better.
 The farmers are glad to read and most of them ponder what they read. The tillers of the soil are exceptions ally prosperous this year. Here in the south. the farmers have reason to feel buoyant. With record breaking harvests and cotton selling for 25 cents pound, with a prospect of it going above 30 cents before January how could the south feel anything but tuoyant? Every farmer in this part of the country should give renewed evidence of his patriotism by buying bonds of the $3,O00, ,0O0, ,00O issue.

When l was lad I used to attend the Sunday school at the First Method ist church in Atlanta said Tom Kilby, banker, manufacturer and gubernatorial candidate, who was in the city Thurs day. I we'll remember how Henry Grady used to come early and stand out in front of the entrance facing Peachtree, and entertain the crowd with his bright talk. He would then go inside and have us all in tears over some tender story. He certainly had the oratorical tempera- ment and was a man of great personali- ty.
