THE WHATCHAMA COLUMN
By George Martin
MOnOcles

The monocle is fraction of pair
of glasses worn by fraction of hui
man being. 1t is fettered to it's posi-
ton by heaven knows what. Usually
the wearer sends his eyebrow down to
hold it in check. If the eyebrow has
got upstairs to emphasize thought or
something, the monocle's fall is GER
tain. This situation is overcome by
having the monocle on leash. A long,
wide funeral ribbon leash. This gives
it enough of a fall to scare the wits
out of it and keep it subdued, but
not enough to dash its glass out on the
rocks below. To obtain monocle all
you have to do is to go into an optic
ian's shop and order a half portion of
spectacles. Though why in heavens
name anyoB e should want to obtain one
is more than we can understand.

TREND TO INTERNATIONALISM.

Worldwide efforts occurring in diff
ferent fields of endeavor when correl-
ated, indicate most conclusively that
the world is now rapidly drifting to-
ward internationalism. For the past
few years many have complained at
the trend toward liberalization in this
country, and yet advocates of this
principle have continually increased,
despite the fact that it has been pro-
nounced, since the foundation of this
country, as a dangerous doctrine, and
the adherents Of state rights have
fought strenuously to maintain their
position and principles.
For the past few years the growing
demand for closer union and more CO.
operatibe relationship between this
country and the South American repub-
lies caused an ever-increasing demand
for some action looking toward an es-
tablishment of at least a commercial
and industrial unionism between the
countries of the two Americas.
This was brought about by the wide
variance existing in regard to meas
ures and standards of weights in the
rich South American countries as COM
pared to our own. Commercial author
tiles declare that with the proper at
tention given these markets by our
manufacturers and merchants, a great
trade could be developed and now the
opponents of internationalism-t say
nothing of federalism-ar holding out
for numerous Improvements in the
present conditions OF affairs. They de-
EldHu that we nave.
An international standard of weights
and measures.
An international standard Of sizes.
An international standard of cur
rencies.
An international banking and ex-
change.
An international good fellowship gem
orally.
The increasing opportunities for
eliminating misunderstanding and
annoyances through the liberalization
Of this country and the International
cation of the world is presenting i'm
measurable possibilities, and those who
are studying the situation are most OPP
timistic regarding the outlook for the
future.-Augusta Chronicle.

WAR TAXES.

Hear the yelping chorus as war taxes
find their mark, the loudest walls are
from the ones who thought war but j
lark; they wanted it so that they
could corral a lot of dough, now, when
they're asked to divvy, they're stagger-
ed by the blow They thought to
make a million bucks with very little
toll, but when they're told to chip IN
it makes their rich blood boil; they
put the blame on politics and forthwith
make a squeal and loudly call on us
to swell their pitiful appeal They're
running wild on profits, and know they
have a cinch, and it doesn't ever hurt
them when the people feel the pinch;
they've run the prices up to where it's
hard to get meal. but raise the
taxes on them and they do not like the
deal. From the farms and factories
will come the men, so from the vaults
of finance must come the yellow yen;
we've got to have war chest and taxing
is the way, to get the man who side
steps the dangers Of the fray.-F. G. S.
