ON SPUR OF
THE MOMENT

So They Say.
The man whose talk has never ceased
Is said to be n Ounce, at least,
And people say, you'll always find
That indicates u vacant mind!'
And then again that man is said
To be indeed an ivory-head
And quite a stupid ass, withal,
Who hardly ever talks at all.
If one is ever blithe and bright.
And pleased with everything In sight,
He has no depth his brain is skimp-
and in fact he's quite simp.
The other man who glares and scowls
And ever frets and whines and growls,
oh, people size him up and tell
How dense he is and thick well.
And so he has the happy lot
Who gives slight heed to all such rot
AS lit is said" and people say
Or so they tell us, anyway.
Good System.
Whenever he would make touch
Al Apple always outwits Me,
He asks for ten something such
And then I'm glad to give him three.
Happy Thought.
The objection to living without
Means is that you have to live within
them.
A lot are like Aloysis Hoint,
His ways often queer,
For when his nose is out of Joint
He gets up on his ear.
The Other View.
If you're feeling gay and happy, if your
path seems paved with Cheer,
1t is foIly,iit is frivolous to worry,
Though you're full of glee and gladness,
though you're merry, never fear,
For your luck is sure to leave you in a
hurry.
Though along Life's primrose pathway
days of gloom alas, re few.
Though it's seldom woe-begone
and fearful,
Let US do our best to bear it, though we're
living, 1t is true.
In a world whose ways to5 frequently
are cheerful.
Cease gay heart. oh cease thy gladness
days must be when skies are clear.
Into every life some sunshine must be
shining,
But the day will yet be gloomy and the
clouds will yet appear,
And well have our share OF sadness and
reDining

BETTER THAN USUAL.

Some of the business experts are
not satisfied with the slogan, "busi-
ness as usual" They contend that
during the period of the war and for
some time thereafter business will be
much better than usual. This point
is made in a bulletin issued by the bu-
reau of business conditions OF the
Alexander Hamilton institute of New
York City. For some time the insti-
tute has been publishing special war
bulletins of business conditions in an
effort to help business men interpret
current conditions.
In this bulletin the point is made
that not only the United States, but
The allies are in the market for the
purpose of purchasing great quanti-
ties of goods. The money raised thru
the liberty loan will be spent in the
purchase of goods to be produced in
the United States. Not only will this
money be spent for ships and NUM-
variety of articles which the armies
and navies need. Not only will tho
United States be compelled to supply
itself, but our allies also turn to US
for food and for supplies of all kinds.
The money which has been raised
for the liberty loan is just that much
added to the volume of purchases that
will be made. Those who subscribed
for the bonds cannot reduce their pur-
chases of goods to any considerable
amount. The total demand for goods
will he greater than 1t would have
been had the United States not en-
tered the war. There will be Just as
many consumers after millions of men
have been drawn from the ranks of
industry into the fighting forces of
The nation as there were before. Just
as much food will be consumed. Per-
sonal needs will not decrease because
of the war, while the war itself creates
demand for many articles not pre-
V1ously necessary. The only differ
ence will be that while there will be
increased consumption, there will be
FEWER persons engaged in production.
1t is the opinion of the Alexander
H milton institute that business will
be more active than ever, with salts

VINO is wide awake and with high
wages for the laboring man who is
willing to turn his hand to a new task

"wHATEvER you WANT TO KNOW.

There are evidences of serious dis
satisfaction and unrest in Germany.
The people seem TO be firing of a war
which does not get anywhere APP
oare4iiy the only thing that can save
the country from an upheaval which
Nigh. change the entire system of
government is military victory at
some point along the line. Even that
would only postpone the revolution.
An ultimate triumph Of German arms
seems impossible ana on victory ap-
pears to rest the fate of the Hohenzol-
Terms. The central powers have been
losing ground for the past year. The
tide turned against them when the
crown prince failed to pass at YER
dun. Then followed the battle of the
Somme, in which Hindenburg was
forced to give up big slice of French
territory. This was followed by Gen.
eral Maude's recovery of Ilut-el-
Amara and the fall of Bagdad. Then
the Italians began to make serious in
roads into Austrian territory. Now
the eastern armies are being steadily
pushed back by the Russians. In an
effort to bolster up a losing cause
Germany instituted the submarine
campaign but that is proving to be a
failure. Unless something be done
soon to encourage the German people
in n hope for victory the existing gov
ernment apparently is doomed.

The National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics is concerned with the
study of the scientific problems of
aviation. The committee is another
example of the cooperation idea. 1t
has for it's chairman Prof. Durand of
Leland-Stanford University, and it's
members include General Squier and
Admiral Taylor, Prof. Marvin, chief
of the weather bureau DR.. Stratton.
director of the Bureau of Standards,
and Byron r. Newton of the treasury
department, besides other scientists
and army and navy engineers. The
Advisory committee deals with the
problem of determining the best
models of aeroplanes; the aircraft
production board with the problem of
producing those models by the thou
sand.
The organization for the develop
ment of aviation is obviously some
what loose. But in actual practice
the different committees are SO con-
stituted that they achieve co-opera-
ton and harmony. Thus the National
advisory committee alone includes
representatives of five departments as
well as of unofficial scientific institu-
tons. Whether we shall have a sep
arate aviation department at this time
is live and interesting question, but
there is tendency to exaggerate the
importance of the dispute over it
Whether the department is created or
not, we will get the aeroplanes.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Cookery Oddities.

To attain the attractive brown glaz-
ing which the pastry chefs pies al
ways have brush a bit of white of egg
over the top crust before setting the
pie in the oven to bake
To prevent a fruit pie from having
a soggy under crust brush the lower
crust with white of egg before putting
the fruit in.
Before baking either pies or cakes
the oven should be heated and tested
with a piece of white paper. Light
both burH1ers and place a piece of
white paper on the shelf in the CEN
ter of the oven. When the paper is
a golden brown the oven is ready for
the cake or pies.
A few minutes after starting the
baking turn the gas down halt way.
1t is better to turn both burners
down than to turn one out complete
ly, as the former method keeps the
heat even turnout the oven.
Currant Ice Cream.
Few housekeepers realize what an
excellent ice cream can be made with
currants. Mash one scant quart or
cherry currants, heat to the boiling
point cook for three minutes and add
sufficient sugar to make it quite thick.
Simmer for five minutes, then strain
as for jelly Have in readiness one
pint of boiled custard, also sweetened.
When the fruit liquid is cold beat into
the custard gradually with half a pint
of stiffiy whipped cream. Turn into a
chilled freezer and freeze slowly as for
ordinary ice cream.
