WOMEN NOT GOOD SOLDIERS

Women do not make good soldiers. They shrink from the terrific onslaught. The Russian Battalion of Death failure Madame Botchkareva acknowledged it. She said, when in America:
 T am keenly disappointed in women as soldiers do not say this because of their physical endurance My battalion had strong as men. Many Of them came from hardy, peasant stock. But I say it because women will stand discipline. They can not forget personalities long enough to take com mands impersonally for the sake of a common ob- jective. When it comes to the only thing that counts is what you do, not who you are. I am going back to fight soldier but never again will I undertake to drill and discipline a battalion of women"
 Madame Botchkareva did not, think, find the real of the failure. She gave the superficial one.
 It is true that women have not learned to work together and take orders. But they learning. They beginning to organize for purposes their own. They the value of coectvity. But when they have become disciplined they will still not be good soldiers. The is fundamental. In their body they bear new life. To abuse the body is to abuse the child of the future and live for the future. But to be good soldier must live in the present
 Temporarily Russian have gone on the wrong track. They magnificent creatures, but they have not expressed themselves They have copied men, This they must not do. Women must give gifts of their to humanity-they must ex- press themselves. They must be warriors of the spirit, not slayers of the body.
 No doubt the bravery of women They have nursed at the front under fire. They have face death with song and smile. It requires greater courage to give life than take it. But 1t is the way wins her yictories.-Madeline z. Doty in World Outlook.

YOUR UNKNOWN FACE

No doubt you would readily recognize your fea- tures if you met them in the street. You them the glass daily and many times day, and probably you think you study them with peculiar care. But that is just the point. Whenever you them, you are studying them. The expression is conscious ar tificial-the expression of a person who is being watched and studied. You know what the photo graphers look pleasant produces. You know how aware that someone is observing you.
 Think of the expression you catch others faces when they completely unconscious, gv- ing a thought to how they look. Some faces are sweet, kindly, sympathetic, delightful. Some faces again, often the faces sad anxious, dreary others still harsh bitter, angry selfish Re- member that all those expressions likely to come on your own face, too. When you look in the glass you do not find them there. Your curiosity erases them wet sponge figures on slate. But they come just the same
 Remember how you love to watch the kindly look in others and how you shrink and turn away from the ugly and the hateful. Perhaps the memory and the consciousness will help you to control the un- comedy expressions in yourself. Or, since the expressions not easily controllable and that produce them, perhaps you will set more busy about the task of repressing and subduing feelings that make faces look you wish that they should not

thing in the world is. It is often car ried out after the policyholder is dead, and nearly always it affects those who are nearest and dearest to him. More than any other institution it protects the most helpless, the widows and orphans. Naturally the prime necessity of such an obligation is that it's full filment should be secure beyond any possibility of doubt, that it should be carried out, whatever calamities may happen, if humanly possible.
 As far as can be learned not a single life insurance company in Great Britain, Canada or any of the other British colonies has failed to meet its obligations, even after nearly four years of war. Of course, it would be too much to expect that every single life insurance company in the entire English speaking world, including every new and insignificant venture, could go through the entire war with out a failure. But up to date the ex- perience of the British empire, whose life insurance institutions are certain

WHIPPED CREAM
 KNOCKED OUT BY
 THE GOVERNMENT

By a new rule specifying that cream sold for direct consumption shall con- tain no more than 20 per cent butter fat the U. S. food administration seeks to limit the luxury of this important fatty nutrient The 20 per cent maxi mum restricts the sale of socalled double" and whipped cream" and other kinds prepared chiefly for special purposes not permissible in the face of present shortages of fats abroad.
 How the Rule Applies
 The rule applies directly to licensed dealers and through them restricts ultimate consumers including house. wives, hotels, restaurants and instltu- tions.
 To prevent misunderstanding of this regulation by dairymen the food ad- ministration states very clearly that It does not affect, nor in any way apply to cream used for butter making, ice cream making, or manufacturing pur- poses. In fact, a richer cream-one testing between 30 and 40 per cent butterfat-is more desirable for most manufacturing operations especially 1 butter making where a high butAsrfat content means a minimum of labor and a generally lower cost of operation. l Full Text of Rule
 The full text of the cream rule which
 is now in effect follows:
 l .No licensee shall sell sweet cream which contains more than 20 per cent l butterfat to consumers or retail dis 1 tributors of cream, provided that this
 rule shall not prevent the licensee from l selling sweet cream containing more
 than 20 per cent buterfat to manufac- 1 turers for manufacturing purposes" 1 Among other benefits that should re- suit from this rule is a somewhat greater supply of market milk for large cities. The luxury cream trade is most l highly developed in large centers of populations and a considerable quan- tity of milk must be skinned to secure
 the extra richness now prohibited by the need to conserve fats.

Why lt Happened

There were several contributory causes of the democratic overthrow in this state on Tuesday The first the continuation of the revolt against Hunt ism which came to head two years ago. MT. Coiter naturally became the object of assault He stood in the shoes of the governor He had the support of the administration in the primaries and the voters believed that he should be made governor the same policies would prevail and he would be surrounded by the advisers
 The doubt, too, which had been raised against the eligibility Of Mr. Golfer cut an important figure Some saw in it a possibility of the continuation of Governor Hunt in office. Others those who have special feeling against the and his political policies, in the attempted election Of MT Colter another legal fight over the office and a renewal of the turmoil of year ago
 The qualification of the forces behind Mir. Camp bell was increased by a sentiment that some atone ment should be made for what they conceived to be a grievous wrong against him. Regardless of the de- cision which removed him from office, there is doubt that large number of voters have maned unshaken in the belief that he had been hon. estly elected.
 MT. Golfer could not enthuse organized labor as depleted majortes in the former Hunt strongholds of Bisbee Douglas, Globe Clifton, Jerome and Mohave county. In of these places he secured bare jortes. The governor himself would have done bet ter those baliwcks, though his figures would have been cut down, since many hundreds of voters who have supported him absent from the state.
 In this county, in spite of it's great normal demo- cratic majority, there disposition to make the overturn complete No doubt that would have been done if the voters had conceived. that such thing possible. But to most of the republican didates their defeat regarded a foregone

 As to the county legislative ticket, the voters ap pear to have supported the republican candidates because all but three of the democratic candidates either friendly to the state administration or disposed net to oppose it.

INSURANCE STANDS |.
 THE STRAIN OF WAR

How will the insurance companies stand the strain of so many claims caused by the casualties war;" is a natural question to ask. It must have occurred in some form to many of the holders of life insurance policies, and when the casualties in our own army assume really formidable proportions it will be asked much oftener than now. There are something like thirty three million insurance policies in this country. No doubt there are many duplications-that is, one person owns more than one policy; but even at that, life insurance is far and away the most nearly universal form of thrift and in vestment. In comparison savings bank accounts and the direct ownership of bonds and stocks are insignificant
 The obligation under a life insur- ance policy is a sacred trust if any

THE VIGIL

(This verse written to Corp Robert Horton Ruble 1S7th Infantry, now in France, by his sister) Across the sea, across the sea- The strong winged winds are blowing Away from me, away from me- l know that you are going The moon has made a path of light Upon the waters lying; My heart would tread that path tonight To your great ship, swift and white Across the ocean flying
 To that far harbor flying would not have you dream of me And see me lonely, weeping; But in your dreams, oh may you see The vigil I am keeping For God will guard you while pray And with his defend you; Through all the nights and every day. Along the weary, painful way, Sweet comfort he will send you
 Sweet strength and comfort send you
