saw evidences of it in the factories, in

we would be a pathetic race of pygmies.

DECLINE OF JUVENILE BOOKS.

A painstaking summary of the pro-
duction of books for Juveniles in the
past % years shows that in proper
ton to the total number of all books
published there has been a distinct
falling off, while the situation when
viewed in relation to our increase in
population becomes to the writer a
matter of "curious" concern. The
total output of books in the United
States In 1890 was 1859, of which 40S,
or about 9 per cent, were Juveniles.
In 1917 the total IA 10000, of which
there were 504 juveniles, or about 8
per cent. 1t does not follow, however,
that the habit of reading is not grow

The fact would seem to be that the
young folks are more discriminating
in their tastes, that they are reading
the anne things that their fathers and
mothers are reading, and that the prac-
tice of writing down" to them has
consequently become unpopular. There
is, after all, a great plenty Of books
made primarily for grownups which
also are pleasing, instructive and in
spring to children of various ages.
The happy family is the one which has
common fireside interests-and there
are many such.

BE FAIR TO DRAFT MEN.

There seems to be a sentiment In
some business circles that a la sub
ject to draft is a marked man and
one not to be considered in applica-
lions for employment. Notwithstand-
ing the war department authorities
have ordered all men of draft age to
become usefully employed, frequently
advertisements in the papers for help
state specifically that men of draft age
need not apply. When the govern
ment was urging upon the people the
selective service act as the most demo-
cratic and the fairest way for raising
an army it was generally understood
that no odium attached to the man who
waited until the government called him
to the particular service for which he
was needed, says Houston Post. 1t
was the theory, at least, advanced
that there should be no difference be-
tween the volunteer and the draft man,
and in the actions of the government
that spirit seems to have been abund-
antly carried out, for the draft men
In the camps have been well treated,
and if there have been any favors.
shown at all by military authorities
they have been toward draft men. In
spite of this some employers apparent
ly place the convenience of their bust
ness first and boldly announce that
men Of draft age are not wanted, for
fear of an early call inconveniencing
its labor arrangement. If all employ
ers took this view a good many men
subject to draft would starve to death
while waiting for the government to
call them.

In calling the attention of the Vati-
can to the bad faith of Germany, which
requested through the Pope that the
French and British refrain from bonn
harding Cologne on Corpus Christi
Day and then shelled Paris, the Brit
ish government gives this sharp warn
ing: "The action of the Germans will
not be forgotten in the event that any
similar appeal is made in the future"
For treachery so base there can be no
adequate answer except harsh re-
prisals.
