"Cecily and the Wide World" by
Elizabeth F. Corbett, as a New York
reviewer points out, presents an old
question from a new angle. What
does man owe his wife and what
has she right to demand? And fur
ther, what measure of faith and trust
and forbearance is she bound to rem
der him? Shall he have the right to
change his whole thought and order
OF life without regard to her Just be-
cause it is his life? And is she
bound to acquiesce and follow him
so long as no moral law is disturbed?
1t is a rather loose Interpretation
of love, honor and obey" that permits
the separation of DR. Avery Fairchild
and his wife Cecily. He is a success
ful young physician, doing a fine
work among the poor; she is young,
pretty, ambitious and obsessed by
her own ego. DR.. Fairchild is much
interested in the work of a distin-
yuished and enthusiastic social work.

PROFITS OF WAR

The United States government is
now at the great task of spending mil
lions in preparing our army and navy
to do its part in the world struggle
for democracy. Never before have
large manufacturers had better op-
portunity to profit by excess charges
for supplies. And it has already de-
veloped that certain corporations
have tried to take advantage of war
condition to reap undeserving profits.
The first orders for steel in build
ing ships called for the payment of
s95 a ton. Investigation of manufac-
turing conditions by the National De-
fense Council showed that $50 a ton
was a fair and profitable price for
steel. The Government was also
quoted prices for coal and other ma
terials which proved on investigation
to be far above normal prices.
As a result of these disclosures
the Federal Trade Commission has
advised that the Government take ov-
er control of all sources of war sup
plies In less than a week after this
suggestion, however, it is announced
that 400 coal operators have pledged
to sell fuel to the Government "at a
reasonable price" Sellers of other
supplies are now cooperating with
the Government in arranging for con-
tracts.
That men should try to reap un-
reasonable profits in war times is re-
grettable. The Government has CIV

Essentials of Agriculture by

II. Doane, former State Leader, Uni

ice. Il feel that it so ably covers the
field that | can scarcely conceive OF
how any book in the near future will
in any way touch it. 1t is at once a
history and a text of the principles
and practices of agriculture as we
know them today. Written by a man
that We all admire and look up to as
the leader in this great field of agri-
culture, we see in the book his person.
ality, and must necessarily value it
accordingly. Unquestionably it marks
a milestone in the development of ag-
riculture.
The author has tried to present a
clear statement of the principles un-
derlying farm practice, and to give a
view of what the comparatively new
and worldwide interest in agriculture
means. He has based the material in
his book on the work of specialists.
Each chapter is followed by questions,
and problems, and a list of references.
The volume is fully illustrated and
provided with a text.

CORNELL TO INCREASE SALARIES

Despite a prospective decrease in
the number of students at Cornell Uni
versity next year, which will cut
down the income appreciably, the
board of trustees, at it's annual June
meeting, voted to increase the sal
aries of 1S9 members of the faculty

"HOw to Get Ahead,s

Albert w. Atwood, lecturer on fl

shown in a convincing manner, in
his book How to Get Ahead" how
young men and women of moderate
earning capacity can save and invest
money, or have it invested for them.
He says, "One of the chief aims for
young man or woman is college

mess or professional training. Do We
need testimony to prove that educa-

HORSE POWER

Americas new army is to be an
army of men. That is all that we
think of when we talk of conscription
and service in France We may in
cidentally mention the billions that
we are spending and will spend to
successfully prosecute the war; but
paramount and vital is our thought
of the great sacrifice in manpower
necessary for the safe conduct of the
great conflict
But there is more to war than man
power. For instance, there is horse
power. The Government is to pur-
chase a quarter million horses to be
used in the new army. Five hundred
thousand animals, physically fit,
trained and mobilized, like men, are
to be conscripted, after a fashion.
and sent to do their bit for the Allies.
Five hundred thousand of Amer
ica's most useful animal products
must be sacrificed. They must be
taken from the stable, the field. the
cart and the track to furnish power
to serve-sOmewhere in France.
This is war of men-and horses
and everything.
