much of his time modelling in wax. Ere
quently he tore the figures down after
completing them, using the material again
for further studies. 1t is to be hopco
that some of these precious experiments
have been rescued in time. But apart
from them there must be mass OF draw
ings and paintings, unless indeed the ar
list took it into his head to destroy them.
One can never count on the whlms that
may possibly control painter OF so irri-
table and capricious temper.
The notion that Degas enriched him-
self by dsposing of his work privlly Is
grotesquely absurd. 1t is far more likely
that he died In debt, and the possibility
that some of his unfinished works may
fall into the hands of strangers ana Dc
treated in such a way as to make them
marketable is highly disquieting. But the
sudden appearance of unexpected master
pieces in the hands of secret buyers Is the
last thing to be expected.

This woman went to Mr.. Hoover and the
Department Of Agriculture, got all the
facts in the case and came back to recon
struct her candy kitchen along war lines
A few days after her return her customers
found her plan outlined in the booklet
folded with their menu cards.

with clear conscience" read the announce
ment, "if we eat those made from things
other than cane or beet sugar; candies
made from honey, molasses, maple sugar
fruits, nuts, raisins and chocolate are
available and make delicious sweets. In
our shops, then, we purpose to display only
those varieties which are made entirely or
largely from the substitutes for cane and
beet sugar"
II such a piece of volunteer work was
good in August, when the sugar shortage
was only a matter Of prophecy, how much
better is it now, when the country is
actually seeing the bottom Of the sugar
bin? This patriotic candy maker deserves
the thanks of public that has preferred
to follow the dictates of its sweet tooth
rather than those Of its Food Admins

Bib-Tying vs.. Bookkeeping

One more Woman in Revolt has nailed
her standard to the masthead and pur'
poses to find out what mere man is going
to do about it. Her complaint is
familiar one, though newly and narrowly
expressed. She complains of bib-tying
And if that is not enough, she adds acid
words designed to picture the boredom OF
washing children-yoor children, any
body's children, behind the ears or any,
where else.
Their beautiful little bodies are treat
for a while. Nobody minds tying strings
around their little necks for, say, three
thousand times. But the point comes at
which this particular mother evidently
feels more like choking the dear little
thing than helping it on its way. So
being a frank sort, she writes to her
favorite magazine about it. Must this
dull routine of home life always uprise to
dwarf a woman's growth, restrain her
ambition and cramp her style?
We have just one wish for this restless
mother. That is that she should become
bookkeeper for a year or two and post
entries between day book and ledger for a
few thousand times a month. We have
seen both jobs, bib-tying and bookkeep-
ing, and we put our last Liberty Bond on
bookkeeping as so far SURPRISING the
womanly job in general all round utter
monotony and boredom as TO leave no
possible room for debate.
In our humble judgment, all work worth
the name is monotonous and involves end
less repetition-none more so than the
artistic and much envied vocations, let us
say, picture painting, singing, writing.
No bib-tying mother of a dozen ever re-
peated her chores hundredth times as
often as Paderewsh practised his five
finger exercises. Appalling routine stands
back of all genius that succeeds.
Is child routine worse than others? Is
cooking? Not if you enjoy the game it
self, we submit. That is the only point
we can descry in this outcry from Mod
ern Mother. There might and should be
more choice for women. Some of them
are bungling parents, are bored by their
jobs and ought to be put to work at which
they are good. Others are good parents,
enjoy bib-tying and do it well. Let them
remain parents and possibly help bring
up the children Of incompetents.
In the mean time we could stand much
less sympathy for the many mothers who
don't need it and much more for the poor
children of our restless friends, who GER
tainly need more than they will ever get
at home.

Horse Steaks
rrom The Chicago Tribune

(Frou The chicago ITfbrne)
We have II on the word of Superintendent
G. Z. Wentworth, horse market department,
Union Stockyards, that "the meat Of young
horses is sweet and tender" while "aged
horses are good for stews." Quite toothsome
nags are being cast aside by the artillery.
Eat them"
Never having tasted horse, we hesitate,
though recognizing the charms Of the pro-
posed delicacy. Cheap? Eight cents a pound.
Dignifed7 France and "many other enlight-
ened countries" eat horse Naughty? All,
here lies the chief allurement! A city ordi-
nance forbids.
No "horse, mule, ass donkey or burro" can
appear on your table without interesting the
police. 1t is forbidden to slaughter him. It
is forbidden TO aid, abet or assist any one
selling or offering to sell him for food or
giving him away OF having him on hand. First
offence, mot more than $780," Second, ditto,
and so on till you quit.
Although we imagine Chicsgosns will go
slow about eating horse, Mr.. Wentworth's
suggestion is Of value. in that 1t helps TO
break down prejudice. Who eats shark?
Who eats doghsh? Who eats whale? Devil
fish and snals so plentiful on land and sea,
ere relished only by pariahs and the elect.
Whole hevbariums of weeds are good 10 eat,
but are nowhere eaten except in Little Italy.
While admitting that circumstances may
eventually force US 70 eat "horse, mule, ass,
donkey or burro," we prefer 70 inscribe them
toward the foot Of the waiting list.

A Painters Posthumous Work

Degas's death followed hard upon the
death of Matthew Maris. Degas was
more or less of recluse; so was Maris.
1emperamentally, the two painters were
as unlike as could be, but they had this in
common, that they were both extremely
exacting and fastidious about their own
work and formidably discouraging to visi-
tors and patrons. Each in his own way
was a crank of the first water, and it was
accordingly inevitable that far-fetched and
absurd comparisons should be made be-
tween them. The critics have not missed
the opportunity.
The London correspondent Of 1.-The
Westminster Gazette" does well in re-
marking on the obvious unlikeness Of the
two, but it would be instructive to learn
what ground he has for the allegation
that the great Frenchman "was more than
suspect of being an astute dealer in his
own works"
When Degas was introduced to the Lon
don public in the ZOOS "The Westminster
Gazette" was a repository for some of the
worst rubbish ever printed about him and
his work. Some scattered scraps of this
fierce controversy may linger in the mem
DRY of the chronicler, creating vague
impression that Degas was out to enrich
himself by shocking an innocent public;
for he tells US that the true reason Degas
would admit no one was because he did
not wish anybody to know what pictures
he possessed, and where those which were
on the market were coming from" FL
nally, we are assured that sit will be q
matter of surprise If he is not proved to
be rich man."
All this will be news to most readers
There is in truth no mystery about the
origin Of the pictures that have been sold
for such prodigious prices in recent years,
for most Of them were painted long ago
II Is we'll known that for years Degas
would part with nothing in his studio,
Occasionally the fortunate possessor of
one of his works suffered him to borrow
il for the purpose of retouching some part,
but the experiment was seldom repeated.
When Degas laid his hands on ono of his
works it was the hardest thing in the
world 10 get it back, as the owners learned
to their cost.
Degas must have left great deal Of
unfinished work. Of late years he spent

Thoughts on the Night Of
August the Third
BY Emile Cammaerts

Mime. Cammaerts.l
(F,o,n The Yale Repts,o)
What are you doing seated there. with your
head wrapped in your cloak3
What are you doing crouched there, with
your chin upon your hand7
What are you doing lying there, with your
eyes fixed on the skyf
We are waiting for the sun to rise upon the
waters.
And for the morn to follow on the night.
We are waiting for the dead to awake
The soldiers are watching around the tomb,
They have rolled the stone In place, they have
set the seals.
In the starry night their bayonets CLEAN,
They are wearing pointed helmets on their
heads.
They speak a speech we do not understand,
A language harsh and heavy as their steps.
By the very grave, they lower not their
voices,
And they stumble on the crosses and they
curse.
What is lacking, my Country, to thy Pas
sion7
Hast thou not had thine agony In the Garden
Vast thou not forced to take Judas kisses,
That night in August when treason
Kissed thy cheek and wrung thy hand'
Didst thou not, like Jesus, have to make thy
choice2
What is lacking, O my Country, to thy CAL
vary?
Didst thou not fall three times beneath the
cross
At Liege, at Namur, and at Antwerp!
Vert thou spared their splitting and their In
suits,
Their mockeries and their blowsi
Didst thou not bleed beneath a crown of
thorns7
Didst thou not feel the nails pierce thy
flesh
Dinant, Termonde, Andenne, Taminesf
Didst thou not ask TO drink, and taste
The gall on hooking sponge,
While underneath thee, at thy feet,
The soldiers cast upon thy vestures lotsl
Didst thou not for Justice thirst and hunger ?
Didst thou not eat the captives bitter bread I!
Did thou not drink unto the very dregs
The cruel cup Of shame and slavery2
And yet the earth did not Join in thy mourn
ing,
The heavens were not overcast and black,
No loving hands were near to lay thee
Tendery In thy tomb.
And now, not three days but three years have
passed
Since thou fellst, like too ripe fruit into thy
grave,
Since they rolled the stone In place and set
the seals,
And still the dead have not arisen again. u. .
What are you doing seated there, with your
head wrapped In your cloakl
What are you doing lying there, with eyes
fixed on the sky7
What are you doing crouched there, with
your chin upon your handf
We are listening to the reapers sharpening
their scythes.
We are breathing in the perfume Of our
country's fields.
We are watching the paling Of the morning
star.

s,u,ar Famine and Candy

Last July, when Mr.. Hoover began talk
ing sugar shortage, he was addressing an
audience apparently without ears or under
standing. Manufacturers and housewives
alike continued to treat sugar as though
the supply were infinite. In August, how
ever, there appeared on the tea tables Of
certain chain Of tea rooms in New York a
small booklet, Wartime Candies" which

Here, where the eternal waters ding them

Motion itself stands still. The flashing

OF change has wrought itself In changeles

Sculptured In white between the rock,

Over this ledge the centuries are hurled,
Fixed in one mighty instantj and all time
Sounds in a single multitudinous chime,
Here in a green cleft Of the lonely world
