DANCING IN OVERALLS.

DUBITC dances pastime to be carefully regulated
= lest they become public nuisance and menace to
the morals of the community Hence it is quite right to
put the kbosh on the Dreamand academy il it has over
stepped the bounds Of propcty and become a d,orderly
house The fact that damscls danced in oycrals
there however, doesn't damning evidence to us
it did to the long Of the law Women in oycralls
have ceased to be a novelty in this country and other
feminine fashions have put many OF in the class
the well known London buSmau But If the girls knew
how unbecomrg the overall costume to their particular
type Of beauty, they wouldn't them to dance
dog fight anywhere else unless in great emergency
Except that they entiile he to membership in the
Look Likcll club overall, for women either for dancing
other light occupations aren't bad
Certainly they aren't as allurng cncng or suggestive

higher of the Terpschorcan art Some of these

be blndfoded for the occasion and there great strain
the imagination Of those present In comparison with
Of those afterdnncr creations oyeralls are model
Of modcsy and unlikely shock anyone accustomed to

But this near vndcaton Of overals is no exoncraon
for the public dance hall Many communities have found
such places of evil, and they should be carefully
regulated if abolished And regulation should not
consist OF a policeman the door or a bouncer for

'Saue the Waste and Win the War"
PROFITEERING ON SENTIMENT.

NOTHING it seems, sacred to certain small 'ouIed
A' creatures whose life work knows other aim than
amassing money Last Sunday was Mothers day time
fot special tribute to those women dead and living, whom
the world holds most dear As fitting symbol Of mothers
sweetness flowers are worn; white flowers for those who
have gone on and blossoms OF gayer coors for those who
are with us still 1t is beautiful custom, and one you
would think to touch the heart Of any who ever knew
a mother day Of days forget the sodid petty grasp
ing things of life and glory in the fine nobility OF mother
hood For it time of recalling cherished mem
oricS and approaching in the debt the world
owes the mothers Of And this year Of all others
that tribute is due the thousands and thousands OF
mothers who sending their gallant afed to fight
for humanity Indeed the wzardry OF words is all to weak
to tell clearly the meaning OF that day many and what it
should to all,
Yet there are those to whom it meant only oppor-
tunity to charge prices for flowers, Carnations sold
last Sunday for twenty-five cents each Yesterday they
were 81 50 dozen which is too high hut have become
somewhat used to abnormal prices and won't bubble
that 1t is doubling the prices day when the finest
sentiment on earth prompts men to buy which turns
vision red Isn't that proiiteerng of the most contempt
Die sort' OF course one needs no bouonnere honor
mother but she has gone, ancies she is pleased
with flower worn for her sake and if she is here there
is no doubt Of her pleasure in the custom And yet the
prices OF carnations doubled
Which reminds us that another sacred day approaches
that sad but proud occasion when garland the graves
OF our soldier dead This year again as with Mothers
day Memorial day also has stronger appeal ior our
thoughts are much of gallant army which is haowing
new soil and winning aurels in the conflict for
humanity Are there any, wonder to whom It will
mean only possibilities OF proftcering the price Of
flowers

A POOR LOSER.

AJITH in his eyes, Arthur Geis,er told how he
" loved the flag, We hope he does, However sob
stuff failed to control preferential convention and the
state chairman was beaten in less decisive
fashion That happens from time to time to most men
who play politics or other games Of chance. Sometimes
it takes defeat two prove the full scope OF the
politicians prowcss and being good loser has, in the
course Of somewhat human events been the OF help
ing men to larger Blu, nothing like that going
to get Arthur anything Instead OF taking it gracefully,
he talks OF going to court to find out about it, Many
men have learned many things in court but, rule,
the tuition is too high in proportion the knowledge
quired and who loves his country that it makes
him cry tell about it might find useful pursuits
a time like this The price OF retaining competent
sci would add something than twenty five dollars to
the Red Cross fund which needs the money

THE SIDESHOW ON THE BORDER.

AMERICAN cavalry lately crossed the Mexican border
in pursuit of bandits hut that doesn't are
going to have with Mexico, However, this bandit
chase is further evidence that the Mexican border is
going be of trouble recent report
from FL Paso said Germans training Mexican troops
in northern Mexico, and knowing the scope of German
propaganda, the report is reasonable Many Mexican
officers rabidy proGerman and the result will be
continuance OF border raids. These do not however,
mean with Mexico, for playing a larger
field The border will be protected but that won't take as
many troops as would be needed in war with Mexico
Germans in Mexico will stir up trouble but they can't
start war, which is what they are after. Meanwhile
Mexico will play the German game and lose by it, as all
nations must which submit to Hun domination

Old Auto Licenses
Good Until Monday
Delay in Shipment of New Plates
Makes Time Extension
Necessary

The Secretary of States Office has
made arrangements with the local DO
lice to extend the use Of 1917 automo-
bile licenses until Monday next, al
though yesterday was the beginning Of
the new automobile year, and supposed
ly only the new wine colored plates
were to go thereafter. Failure on the
part of the railroads to get the full
supply of plates to the New York Of
ice made it necessary for the automo-
bile bureau to arrange for an extern
sion. The plates started weeks ago
from st. Louis, but not enough of them
have come. through to take care of all
applicants. Many got in line yester-
day and had numbers assigned, but
cannot get the plates until later
Delays in the mail have made It i'm
possible for some who got in their ap-
plications early to have their plates
reach them. One man who mailed his
application on January IS has not yet
received his numbers This is just one
case of many. There also has been
great shortage in the commercial vehi-
Gle plates. The extension for trucks
and other business vehicles may have
eventually to be for much longer Pc
ROD than that for the passenger cars.
