"AMERIcA AND THE ALLIES"

II America is not Ally. what is it? And if it
is an Ally, why is it that the phrase. the Allies and
the United States other phrase equivalent
in meaning is used and again in the formal
terms of the armstice agreements with Germany and
Austria? Why is the phrase its equivalent
used in the note of President Wilson to Germany an
nouncing that General Foch had authority to give
Germany the ems Of armistice? Why is it that
the same phrase an equivalent is used meticulous-
ly nd conspicuousy IN all of the recent official or
sem-official utterances by Secretary Lansing at
Washington? Why is it that for time in the ut
terances of President Wilson the term Associates
has been frequently used where the term Allies
might be expected?
If any explanation has been made OF this singular
OF speaking of the relations the United States
to France, Great Britain and the other powers with
which the United States has joined in fighting
and defeating the Hun, has failed attract our at
tentiou.
If the reason Is merely some delicate shade of
diplomatic technique, the why and wherefore should
be stated in order TO avoid Misrepresentation
Surely it cannot be possible that the United States
is something less than Ally. This country has
fought Ally, has victory an Ally and il
is as Ally that it must take its place equal terms
with the other Allies at the peace council which will
settle vast and vital world problems. In these prob
ems in assuring the safety of the world from aggres-
SIGN and autocracy and in the establishing of liberty
the world over, America will take its full share of
sponsibility Ally among Alles.-Outlook

GREAT BIRDS OF OTHER DAYS
Bones Discovered Prove That in the
Miocene Period They Were Truly
of Enormous Size.

In so far as birds are concerned,
some of the oldest fossils, in the mat
ter of time (Miocene), which have
fallen into the hands of science, are
those representing the great, flight
less, fossil avian giants of Patagonia in
South America. They belong to the
phororhacidae, r. w. Shufeldt writes
In the Scientific American.
Judging from such parts of their fos-
sill bones as have been found, they
were evidently great terrestrial birds
of prey. Some of the species were
small. but this is made up for by the
others and in the case of one of them
(brontornis) it had thigh bone con-
siderably larger and longer than that
of an OK.
OF all the remarkable f1ightleSs birds
of this group, however, was the giant
phororhacos. It must have been over
eight feet In height. with skull big
ger than that of full grown horse,
and much deeper from above down.
ward. We know little or nothing Of
these birds or what led to their ex-
tinctfon. With its great hooked beak
and powerful claws of great size,
phororhacos must have been a terror
to the animals upon which it preyed.
Skulls and some other bones Of this
bird have been discovered.

Things That Have Pissed.

Here are some things not of the
present generation, yet within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. They
are enumerated by George Constant
in the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Little girls and boys who could cor
rectly name in sequence the books Of
the Bible, recite the beatitudes and
give the personnel of the twelve dis
ciples, andf to whom the names and
antecedents of movie stars were as
yelled mysteries.
Mothers whose delight was to set
a sustaining table of good food to
their growing children, at which we'll
cooked steak and brown gravy, big fat
biscuits and fresh milk in unlimited
measure predominated, the whole
thanked by homemade preserves and
jellies, and whose pet abomination was
food eaten from paper bag.
Memory cards, affected by loving
couples in their middle teens, sent
through the mails and conveying
ardent sentiments of personal regard
in rustic gothic type, and emblazoned
with cooling doves, hearts pierced with
arrows and wreaths of forget-me-nots.

CHANGED TO HEAD OF LIST
Refusing Henceforth to Be
Known as Zeno.

A story is told of an old negro who
had accumulated his savings in q bank
in one of the Southern towns, says the
Columbus Dispatch. One day the bank
failed.
Zeno was the name of the old man,
and when told the bank had failed he
spent hours around the door, as II he
hoped In that way to get his money.
One day the receiver said to him:
Don't you know that the bank has to
be examined before any depositors can
get their money? This is not the first
bank that has failed"
"Shore, All knows dat" Zeno an
swered .Ah's heered tell Of banks bus
tim before dis, but dis heah am de fust
time dat bank evah busted right
squah in nah face" al
At last the examinations were over
and the receiver announced that the
depositors would be paid In alphabet
ical order. Some mistake had been
made in figuring, and when they got
down to VS. the money gave out and
Zeno lost his savings.
But he didn't lose all his courage. He
saved for few months and had lit
tie tosput in another bank. He went
to the cashier, who said:
tAll right, Zeno, we will be glad to
open an account for you"
.Zeno nuthin'," he said. "Mah
name amt Zeno no mob, NAH names

Whist.


The number of ali possible distribu-
lions of pack OF cards in the game
Of whist, is 1854 quadrillfons and
1877. 765 trillions and 477,792 billions
and S39. 237 millions and 10000. The
following illustration may give an idea
of the immensely of this number: If
on the entire surface of our globe,
inclusive of all mountains and oceans,
whist tables could be so placed that
each table together with the four play
ers should oecupy no more space than
one square meter (39.37 square
inches), and If they should play whist
necessarily, each game consuming only
five minutes, it would require more
than thousand million years before
every possible distribution of the 50
cards could be realized.

No; l don't know who knows her
but you can get that out Of her in
your talk with her. - Oh! OF
course, I'll give her all the medical
attention she needs. - All right.
Goodby."
That afternoon the nice, little,
good. old lady had caller who left
her automobile in the other street at
the corner. Nobody else knows ex.
actly what talk occurred between
the two women. Only a few OF us
know what happened before the next
Saturday night. 1t was this:
The fine, little, nice, old lady was
installed in the Birge Home. She
need give no thought to coal in the
winter nor to grocery bills and the
price of milk She was waited on
as she deserved. Gradually the old
cheeriness came back into her face.
God bless her. She has worked a
lot and suffered lot and deserves
peaceful old age.
Twenty-one and Their Needs.
There are just twenty-one Of her
in the Birge Home, cared for by the
Benevolent Union today
Nobody knows much about the
Birge Home or the Benevolent I'm
ion, except that one is a sort OF
Swiss chateau on South Seventh
street, and the other is some kind Of
a woman's organization that fills
whole page of the Keokuk paper with
long. dry reports once g year.
But there are some nice. old ladies
that know all about both of them.
Some have died and been given de-
cent burial. Twenty-one of them are
there in the Birge Home now.
All this costs lot of money. 1t
costs too much for the women mem.
bers of the Benevolent Union to pay
all by themselves. They are going to
ask all Keokuk to subscribe money,
not really for the Benevolent Union.
but for the work that makes it pos
sible to care for score and more Of
nice, old ladies with no other place
to live. 1t is hoped that this little
picture of the crisis in the life of
one of them will make Keokuk people
understand that there is duty to
for the Benevolent Union
in addition to the various soldier
welfare funds.
Does anybody in Keokuk want to
drive out those twenty-one nice old
ladies because there is no longer
money obtained to care for them?
Solicitors will take your answers be-
fore long.
