Keep Away From the Truth.

TESTS arc always dangerous when
they are too near the truth.
OF course, if you want to push
home some disagreeable truth under
cover of a jest it is all right to make
that sort of pest. Personally. how
ever, I think that If you want to- crit
cize it is far better to do 1t frankly
it leaves a better feeling all round.
But if you are only jesting for the
sake of testing, don't get too near the
truth.

SIDE TALKS
When Truth Is Cruel
BY RUTH CAMERON.

AS the old proverb has it, many a.
true word is spoken in jest. Also
many a cruel word.
Sometimes the speaker is conscious
that his jest is barbed and means it to
be so. Som etimes he is quite uncon-
sciOuS of the hurt he is dealing.
The Authorman was testing with
one Of our neighbors the other night.
suddenly she got up and left the
house evidently on the verge Of tears,
either of rage or grief
Now what tho dickens" said the
Authorman. SIS the matter with her?"

She Went off the Handle.
Why I just said something about
her not trying to boss this house, too.
l was only fooling Of course She
was saying that she thought you
ought to put the piano against the
other wall. Aren't women the dick
ems, though,-can't jolly them in a
perfectly pleasant way without their
going off the handle"
Now the whole point was that the
,Authorman had picked a most unfor-
tunate subject for his jest. The wo-
man in question has tho reputation of
being bosSy and knows if. She is
very well meaning, one of those kind
Is. capable souls who really could
run your house better than YOU do
and who sees so plainly where YOU
could improve things that it is next

Occasionally this tendency has made
her do things which her friends and
relatives vigorously resented, and
the result has been some tongue lash
ings for her. SO she knows She is

jest went too near home to be really

Though the military authorities
never. make any claims that they have
positively solved the U-boat menace
and figures are nottmade public as to
what number of subs have been taken
or destroyed, the situation seems
greatly improved and shipping is
moving more freely than formerly and
losses gradually decreasing. Some Of
the press reports recently contained q
statement that gave some little infor-
nation; on the submarine situation and
according to tn, report it is claimed
that since unrestricted submarine
campaign was urclared by Germany
that the Allies have captured or sunk
an average of enc and o~ne-fourth u
boats daily. The Germans have claim
ed that they could build four U-boats
a week SO if these figures are correct
there are less U:boats in operation
than formerly and their operations ore
