 II can see peace, not peace to be beginning of war, not a peace which will be an endless preparation for strife and bloodshed, but real peace. When this war began, two-thirds of Europe was under autocratic rule. Now it is the other way about and democracy means peace. The democ- racy of France hesitated; the democ- lacy ot Italy hesitated long before it entered; the democracy of this coun- try sprang back with shudder and never would have entered that caul- dron if it had not been for the inva- sion of Belgian and if Prussia had been a democracy there would have when the world rushes along at gid dying pace, covering the tracks of century.

A RECENT item in the news stated that there is danger of a shortage of materials from which to make tin cans in which the preserve the com ing seasons surplus of vegetables and fruit. Like so many other threatened shortages. this may prove to be an empty alarm, but it is a regrettable fact that in this country. where the important business of canning had its origin and greatest development, there is almost no tin. Virtually all of the tin used in North America comes from Asia and South America, such deposits as have been found in the United States being so scant as to be hardly worth mining. Some tn ore has been found in Alaska, and when that vast domain has been fully explored, mines may be found that will give the United States supply of tin from its own resources.

MANY PERSONS object to volun- teering in the army for any specified time-say four years-and for that reason hesitate to offer their services in the war with Germany. It is now proposed to eliminate this objection. The volunteers who enlist and the men who already have enrolled will serve only during the progress of the war. This is very proper concession to volunteers, for the average man who goes to war has no desire to re- main in the army after peace comes Lieut.. Newloye at Fort Liscum will enlist for the duration of the war.

The mysterious disappearance

day afternoon, is puzzling Henry
Foss, who loaned them the boat.

a boat to go to the Sperry Mills
to sell papers.
He told them the bay was too
rough for them, and refused them
the boat.
About two hours later two boys
appeared. and asked for a boat
again. Foss asked them If they
had sold their papers, and they re-
piled they had. They again begged
for a boat, and after some time

A search was made Sunday
morning, but no trace of the boys
had been found.
Monday morning the boat was

was found of the boys. A report
came to Foss Monday that the
boys were home, but up to noon
he had not confirmed it.

a man loves her-and her ALONE.
When he divides his allegiance
and his admiration, she first be-
gins to criticlse the work of Fa-
Their Time. She finds the first
flaws when the man she adores
looks past her, beyond her, at a
younger face In the crowd.
She may not cry out-but from
that minute she begins to expert

But HOW TO MAKE LOVE
LAST WHEN BOTH HAVE

Some women pose before Father
Time in the flapper's dress and

sent industry and usefulness;
some symbolic power or patience;
but anyone of these models Is apt
to prove as faulty as another.
Ask their secret of those who
have acquired the perfect pose.
those beautiful old women who
keep their men folk loyal to the
grave. and they are never able to
tell 1t.
Self-forgetfulness! That Is
the handspring of woman's
happiness.
A man seldom ceases to love a
woman who finds herself only
through her devotion to him. Abb
solute devotion OF this kind is
probably the only antidote for the
poisoning fear of age which haunts
