family. 1t would be perfectly simple
sort of jolly lark. you know--for a
French ace to set out some quiet little
night and fly over to Berlin. Perfectly
feasible-people right here on this side
are flying twice as far every little
while, just for stunt. He could try
a few dips and circles over the royal
palace dropping bombs. Why we are
spending so much time and money and
men when the war could be ended by
such simple little device, is beyond
their comprehension.
Now, it's shame not to use such
genius as this. Why not give them a
uniform and a pair of spurs and put
them behind a desk in Washington :?
Give 'em chance. Give 'em a good
chdnce-and then put 'em to work max
ing gas bombs.

An inclination
And a Commandment

But fighting was out of the question.
No fastidious man would go out and
deliberately xiii another one, even
though he had done some Of the horrid
things imputed to those Germans. Be-
sides, wasn't there something in the
Ten Commandments about that? Not
that your loafer had ever bothered
much about the Mosaic mandates; but
here was one which conceded perfectly
with a fellows inclination.
True, it mad sometimes been neces-
sary to sandbag a man who got rough
with his objections or threatened to
tell the police, and it was a fact that
this method had sometimes resulted
disastrously to the sandbagged; but
such a practice wasn't general, par
ticularly among the high-class men.
Now the government, which had
heretofore most aggressively opposed
all rough handling, was actually at
tempting to coerce men into propo-
sition that was more or less whole
sale murder-and such mussy work.
Then, too, it would be different if q
chap had any idea how long the thing
might last; but to get tied up in
lot of training that wouldn't do a
fellow any good after the war was
preposterous. Besides, it wasn't their
war-they ddn't start it. Let the guys
who pulled the thing off scrap it out.
No, fighting wasn't for the professional
loafer.
But the alternatives! New York's
underworld, flannel or silk shirted,
has always agreed on one de-
scriptive phrase that put man out
side its pale. "Him? Oh, he works."

this law: Without doubt something
had to be done, and speedily. The re-
suit was a general exodus out of New
York, by Pullman or brakebeam. The

hastily sought 1azier climes.

There has often been talk about

much has been added to the productive
power of the state remains to be proved.
But that good has resulted from the

ed to some naval authorities here as
one possible way Of settling vex-
ing problem.

improvement will be no more ex-

her dam produced CAB pounds of
butter in one year.
