woman to come to the conclusion
that she does not want a saint for a

Poor Kitty Malram Spencer learned
it very soon. Donna did not learn it

"Do you know. Margie, that at the
time when you and Eliene took affairs
into your own hands and Eliene adopt

a scoundrel and cad. although I
resented you girls interfering in the
nasty mess as Jim Edie and i called
it"
So Jim knew it all the time. little

so much as the quiver OF an eyelash.
Both Jim and Dick had known of
the nasty mess" before the mother
died and the twins were born and I'll
wager 1t did not strike them as a
nasty mess" then.
Although Harry always has declare ed
that he did not love the mother Of
the twins, yet he thought enough of
her to furnish a home for her, and
Dicks manuscript says both he and
Jim had been there. 1 wonder II any
woman could keep a secret like that.
The other day 1 heard of a young
woman, a friend of Mollie's, VINO was
laying up trouble for herself by al
lowing a married man to make love
to her. I said to Mollie. 'you should
tell her that people are talking about
her."
Much to my surprise Mollie said that
she knew nothing of it and that she
could say nothing anyway. This is
the first time in my life that I have
met woman who took a mans view
Of such questions. Mollie never re-
ferTed to the matter again though at

not wishing to speak.

Honors for a commander in the navy
are prognosticated. More than one
hero will be acclaimed before the
autumn. the seers declare.
In this month Of June some national
advantage through displomacy is to
be expected. A foreign power will
confer benefits.
Crime is likely to increase in the
next few weeks. Women are likely
to be oftenest the victims, although
children will suffer.
Theatrical affairs are menaced by
the stars. The prediction is that q

Americans players who go abroad

There is a menacing rule for travel
this month. especially for those who
go forth in ships"
Under this rule, which seems to
threaten anxieties concerning military
affairs. it is imperative that conf
dence and courage be cultivated. for
the planets promise for the nation the
greatest future that will come to any
world power.
Again strikes and riots appear to be
foreshadowed. Troubles among fac

production board, the spruce for
ests of Oregon and Washington
will be attacked as never before iii

Announcement from Washing
ton that Ryan called on the spruce
production division of the signal
corps to triple its production Ct
spruce means that 30,000,000 feet
of airplane lumber must be pro-
duced each month, as against the
requirement of 100000 feet u
month in the past.
Lumbermen explained today
that this means 10000 more men
must be turned into the forests of
Washington and Oregon. Where
these men will come from is yet
unknown. The labor problem, u
is said, may prove Col. Disque s

a man has"
OF the German prisoners he has
seen Whitfield writes:
Il am impressed with the cheer
fulness of the French soldiers
They are merry, even a bunch we

not doubt the atrocities commit

Doing a Real Job

Absolute confidence in the abil-
ity Of the American troops to hit
the Huns a stunning blow is
characteristic of the soldiers now
in France. Sergeant e. A..
Hutchine, OF Company E. Four
Hundred and Eleventh field bat
talon, voices this sentiment in a
letter to a friend in this city, from
which the following extracts are
taken:
81 can give you no war news
as matter Of fact, you have more
first hand information than We
have. l know about the big rush
started by the Huns, but that's
about all-and even il knew
more could not put it in writing.
II can tell you that Uncle Sam
is doing a real job over here, and
when he hits the Hun, he, the
Hun, will know it was "A Made in
America hit.
From what l have seen so far
Europe today is about 100000
miles behind the American, and if
the French under that handicap
could hold the Germans like they
have done at Verdun and all along
the line, what will a real up
and-at-'em up-to-the-minute TWEEN
tieth century limited do when it
hits the kaiser's old line?
Weather. good deal like
Puget Sound, only very bitter
or peculiar cold sting to it, other
wise the rain, fog and dampness
are just about the same. But the
summer is only a short time off.
where have been l have seen
that most of the work is done by
women, old man, boys and Grip
pies. About seven out of every
ten women you meet are wearing
mourning. That sign sure
brings the war home to you.
II have made it a point never
to write a letter home without
putting in a boost for the Y. M.
c. A., X. c. and Red Cross. Take
1t from me, the above organiza-
tions are doing a real work and
what is more, every last man over
here knows it and appreciates it.
OF course, the X. G. are not out
in the field as yet, but just start
ing. However, | had the pleasure
of visiting their hall at Camp
Merit before l came over. So
any time any one starts knocking
any of these organizations, or
the work they are doing, you can
take a fall out of him for me and
all the rest of the fellows"
