With reference to the Presidents
discussion Of the railroads in his ad-
dress TO Congress a Washington dis
patch TO the New York World says
that it was assumed by those who had
watched the lines of divergence on
this subject that If he touched on this
question it would be to declare in favor
OF testing the merits Of Federal opera
ton to the full limit of possible Gov
eminent control.
Clearly the advocates Of Government
control and Government ownership
were disappointed in this feature Of
the Presidents address, but 50 were
the opponents of that policy.
There have been indications that the
former class expected a pronouncement
which would place the President in
their leadership. But he took the
lead Eeither for nor against them, and
the question is RELOCATED TO Congress
which should develop it so well by the
time of his return that II is 20 be hoped
all doubts in his mind as TO whether he
shall favor or oppose Government own
ersbip or complete control will be dis
sipated, and that he will take his
stand as firmly against socialism at
home as he took it against autocracy
abroad.

SERVICE ON WHEELS

In modern warfare there is much
portable relief work done. Instead of
carrying the wounded man to hospital
and canteen, canteen and hospital are
moved to him. The first thing that is
done for a man after the battle Is to
give him something to eat. The Amer
lean Red Cross has rolling canteens
that take hot bouillon coffee, tea, CO.
Goa, lemonade and sandwiches right to
the front line trenches. To the man
who is wounded there is mobile hos
pltal brought to his very elbow This
is the "autochir," a special motor truck
that carries a complete surgical hospi-
tai right to the front.
These are some of the things that
the people of America are doing for
the comfort and wsifare of the boys
over there by enrolling their names in
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
The Red Cross button and the Red
Cross Service Flag should everywhere
be in evidence during the week of De-
cember 10th to the 23d as outward
symbols of this annual rededication TO
Red Cross service.

"With the ending of the war, saws
Judge Charles Evans Hughes, 1--WE
find ourselves with the familiar consti'
tutional privileges and restrictions,
and it behooves officers Of the Govern
ment TO realize that to make preteuse
of military exigency for Interior pur-
poses when military necessity has
ceased is simply an abuse Of power
which will not be permitted to escape

The Sunday School room should
flame with Red Cross posters and EN-

Omens on Horses.

There are several omens dealing with
horses. A warrior likes his mount to
neigh before going into battle, as this
Is a sign of victory. To meet piebald
horse is lucky, and if you meet anoth-
er soon after you may express any wish
and get it granted. A horse with a
white star on its forehead is another
lucky sign, but to meet a white horse
means bad luck, unless one splits at it.
This averts the i'll luck. Another bad
sign is for a horse to neigh opposite
the door of a house. 1t means sickness
to one Of the inmates.

DropIet Infection Explained In Pictures,

1.-THE Bureau Of Public Health,
Treasury Department has just issued
a striking poster drawn by Bergman,
the well-known Washington cartoonlst.
The poster exemplltes the modern
method of health education. A few
years ago, under similar circumstances,
the health authorities would have is-
sued an official dry but scientifically
accurate bulletin teaching the role Of
droplet infection In the spread of re-
spiratory diseases. The only ones who
would have understood the bulletin
would have been those who already
knew all about the subject. The man
IN the street, the plain citizen and the
many millions who toll for their living
would have had no time and no desire
to wade through the technical phrase
