THE "CHEAP.GUY" FALLACY

THE Federal Trade Commission Is not

statement about that S1.62 meal at the
Hotel Savoy, London, go unchallenged.
That meal would cost S5 today In Wash.

the least doubt that he can prove it to the
commissions satisfaction by letting II
treat him to a dinner.
The course of this evil goes much
deeper than any economic explanation
can probe It is to he found in "A chronic
American vice, the fear Of appearing "a
cheap guy" We let the walters scare us
into ordering 81 or SO meal and then
into giving them Is or 20 per cent tips.
The menu theoretically provides $l.62
meals, and sixty.two-cent meals, but the

much difference between our $3.50 and

because Of their foreign prices. 1t is no
sin to spend only fifty cents in a French

"GRANDILOQUENT FOG"

WAR has long since removed the polish
w from Germany's helmets, but the gen.
eralities of her present statesmen most
grandiosely glitter. "a strong policy with
out; unity within" thunders Chancellor
Nichaelis. Similarly boastful, similarly
vague, was many a pronunciamento of
Jefferson Davis with Grant knocking at
the gates OF Richmond.
OF all lands under the sky Germany Is
the home Of the specific detail. Her
science, her art, her industry and com
merce have all been developed along the
lines Of scrupulous particularly and ex-
actitude Successful Germany was an in
tensely practical Germany. That the
leader of her government now takes ref
uge in mere grandiloquent fog augurs g
perilous voyage for his ship of state.

LET MR.. DENMAN GET OUT OF
THE WAY

GENERAL GOETHALS has arranged
~ to build and put on the seas every
ton of shipping promised by him to Con
gress and every ton of shipping that the
Allies in their most eXuberant computa
tions felt that we could produce. lie has
arranged, in addition, that most of this
tonnage will be of a sort able to compete
with the merchant marine of other
nations after the war. He has arranged
for these things under conditions assur
ing the Government rock-bottom prices
If Mr.. Denman does not get out of the
way in a hurry, either the President or
the nation will have to push him out.

The Plea of the Crown Prince

From New York SUM
Father think of me;
II you've thought of abdicatlng,
II reforms you're contemplating,
Halt the rash decree;
All the while you're hesitating,
Father, think Of me.
Father, think OF me;
II this land goes democratic,
Right divine goes where? The attic!
Where will Frederick be?
My request is most emphatic;
Father, think of me!
Father, think Of me;
You have lived in regal clover;
You have put that king stuff over,
Proud of pedigree
Would you make an exiled rover,
Father, out of me?
Father, think Of me;
Are you not, sir, apprehensive
OF the righteous wrath intensive
OF the Deity?
Be not thoughtlessly offensive;
Spare your family tree;
Think of Gott and Me!
