Man Who Must Vanish.

He still breathes, the IMAM with
soul so dead that he can say, not only
to himself but publicly: "What was
good enough for my father is good
enough for me-" says a writer. Merci-
fully for human progress there are
signs abroad that give us hope of his
ultimately becoming extinct. He will
be survived for time, but not indefi-
nitely, by his mate whose marvellous
prehensile tenacity leads her to believe
and act northumberland. what was
good enough for her greatgrandmother
Is good enough for her. Undoubtedly
the least violent medernist would ba
willing to deal the blow that should
rid us Of them, but there Is a strange
residence in both the male and female
of this species that makes them rise
unscathed after the sharpest attacks
on their benighted tenets. We shall
have to wait the slower end that must
befall them. Evolution by exclusion,
or the killing off of those who persist
entity go the wrong way Is sure pro-
cess If not swift one. So knowing
him to be doomed, let us not waste
energy in hopeless argument with him.

"A home is not properly a show
place." says Noble Foster Hoggson.
Rather, 1t Is house and plot of
ground that, together, bring rest to the
aged, peace to the strong, and joy to

Is creating-not mere fulfilment
of an order, the result of a contract
well or Ill kept, thing to be bought
and paid for by money.
Money cannot buy home" de-
clares Mr.. Hoggson. but" he adds,
che who hungers for a home may, by

their environments, achieve a result

GUARD AGAINST ROSE SLUG
Good Idea Now to Devise Means for
Combating Deadly Enemy Of Sue
cessfui Flower Garden.

One of the greatest drawbacks to a
successful garden is the ravages of the
rose slug, which renders an entire
bush unsightly in a short time. But
this enemy may generally be combated
II the work is begun in time.
II given, early in the season, good
spraying once a week for several weeks
In succession with the full force of the
spray from the garden hose, this pest
can easily be kept down. If you do
not have a hose make up the following
solution and use II full strength from
the ordinary watering can: To one
bueketful of boiling water use a good
sized cake of whale-oil soap and one
teaspoonfal of nicotine. Apply this
mixture four nights in succession.
Commence to combat all garden enc
mics early In the season, before they
have rendered the plants unsightly.
Climbing roses grow luxuriantly in
almost any sunny situation. They are
strong feeders and care should be
taken that their growth is not inter-
fered with by being planted in too close
proximity to the roots of trees or
strong shrubbery. While many varie-
ties are very hardy, yet they will flow
err longer IL planted where they can be
protected from strong winds.

HELPS !
CITY MANAGERS IN ILLINOIS
Plan is Growing In Favor--Eight
States. Now Have Laws Dealing
With the Matter.

Glencoe and Winnetka have operated
city management plan, in spite Of
handicaps. They have felt the need
of specific statutory authority and have
been somewhat embarrassed by the
presence of certain elected minor Off
Gals who are not under the juristlic-
ton of the village trustees. For this
reason many cities and villages wish
to adopt the commissioner manager
form of government.
The plan is to be made applicable to
cities or villages not exceeding 100000
population-that is, to all municipali-
ties of the state except Chicago. I'M
der it's terms the city or village coun.
Gil would consist of the mayor and
four commissioners, to be elected. All
administrative and executive powers
would vest in city manager appoint
ed by the council for an indefinite term
at compensation fixed by the council
and subject to removal at the cOun-
ellis pleasure.
Eight states now have laws of this
sort in successful operation. They in
clude New York, Massachusetts,. Iowa,
Michigan, Ohio and Kansas. Notable
instances of successful use of the man
ager system are found in Dayton and
Springfield, O., and Niagara Falls,
n. Y.
Only one feature appears to vex the
student of municipal government. This
relates to the payment of a salary to
the mayor, whose functions would be
largely eremonial-although he Is to
be a member of the council and its pre-
siding officer and fees to the other four
commissioners for each meeting at
tended and for time spent on city COM
mittee work. Yet it is quite possible
that the absence of such emoluments
would tend TO make available for
these positions men of high class and
marked ability.-Chicago Daily News.

my who wages the same war against
women and children as against sol
diers. Aerial raids on towns, which
are counterpart of the pitiless subma-
rine war and the attack against Ameri-
can rights, are the very explanation of
the reason why America entered the
war. We are sending our soldiers to
Europe to fight until the world Is de-
livered from these horrors
While no official announcement has
been made, the general impression
prevails that new plans of the Ameri-
can war department call for the dis
patch of American troops to France
much more rapidly than was proposed
in the earlier plans. The indications
are that an effort will be made to
bring the American expeditionary
force up to strength of approximate
ly 100000 men by the middle of the
summer, instead Of 100000 men as
was contemplated by the original plans
of the war department. The dispatch
of many National army units is expect
ed soon, in accordance with the plan
that has been adopted of forming an
army corps out Of two divisions of the
regular army, two divisions of the Ma
tional Guard and two divisions of the
National army. As many units of the
National Guard are already overseas.
with the larger number of regular army
divisions. 1t is expected that the move
ment of several divisions of the Ma
tional army win follow soon.
That the movement of troops will
be more rapid than was at first be-
lieved possible is indicated by the an
nouncement of rhe war department
that the second draft, which will be
made as soon rs needed Legislation
can be secured from congress, viii call
out approximately 100000 men. Only
the rapid movement of many divisions
now, In cantonments In this country
could make room for this large num-
her Of new draft men. In this connec-
ton It is predicted abroad TINT Gen
eral Pershings men will be holding
100 miles of front by the closing days
of 1918. longer front than was held
by the British armies two years after
the war began.

Americans at home continue to be
electrified by reports of the exploits.
of Pershing's troops in the sectors
which are now held by the Americans.
Successful raids have been made re-
peatedly by the American troops while
the American artillery has won many
duels with the big guns of the enemy.
One raid on the new United States
front I'm Lorraine was declared to he
the most successful encounter In which
American soldiers have engaged dur.
ing the war. In this raid, infantry
units penetrated the enemy lines TO 81
depth OF between 400 and 600 yards at
some points The raid followed bonn
bardment by American guns which
lasted four hours and which wrecked
| the enemy's front trenches and barbed
| wire entanglements. Three successive
raids at different points on this sector
all proved highly successful, the Amer
leans capturing number of prisoners
and returning TO their own trenches
with small casualties. In raid on
the Toul sector, the American soldiers
| penetrated the German trenches to 81
depth of 200 yards. After some hand
to-hand fighting in which number of
the enemy were Killed and wounded,
the raiders returned to their lines with
| much material and Information. al
though they captured no prisoners. II
was reported that every American who
left the front line on THIS raid re-
turned.
The American troops In the Toul
! sector have been subjected to a terrific
artillery fire, the German apparently
having concentrated strong forces OF
artillery on this sector. 1t was re-
ported that In some places the BON
bardment reduced the first line
trenches to ruins but the Americans
mt those pOin Is continued to hold their
positions in shell craters. The Ameri
can artillery also has been active or
all sectors held by Pershing's men

The first permanent advance OF tn
American troops was made on tn
Lunevile sector, where Pershing's me-
occupied enemy trenches which the
had forced the Germans to abando
