Lost-"Social Prestige" /"

Social climbers haven't any place to go, nova
days. says famous woman's page writer.
True.
Society was formerly swirl and aspirants for
social place would manage first to slip into its
outside eddes and then gyrate gradually toward its
center.
But the war has been to society" what a charge
of dynamite is to a dangerous rock in river. The
has blown social prestige to atoms. 1t has
deepened the channel of the democracy.
The best of American society women, like those
OF England, France and Italy, have abandoned their
luxury and their leisure and honestly devoting
their money and time to liberty's cause The worst
of them busy disclaiming their wealth in order
to avoid war taxes and contributions to victory
chests and foreign relief. But this brand of mod
esty means social oblivion.
The society queen and the social climber were
never born to blush unseen. Social importance is
possible only the public permits it to be-
woman may possess a trunkful of diamonds, but
her gems might as well be bits of glass-unless
other women admire and envy her.
Fine society is brilliant only the public has
eyes to see. Now that the public is absorbed in
the war; nobody minds the rich at all. and thus
the society leader is stripped of her glory.
The first fruits of democracy are ripening right
here at home and the only persons who find them
bitter are the wives of men making monstrous piles
of money out of the war.
They find it is very bad manners to make dis
play of wealth in the old way and it is certainly
very bad citizenship to conceal it.
The women who are setting the fashions the
women who are helping to win this A
without a country is to be pited than
woman without a share of work A rich and
idle beauty ranks second in her community to the
girl who goes daily to some dangerous job in a
munitions factory.
"Lost-Somewhere in America-Social Prestige"
And the public isn't hunting for it. This was
shown at recent patriotic procession. In the
ranks of mothers carrying service flags dainty
women wearing white silk stockings and white
Shoes and sturdy wage-earning mothers with dark
shawls drawn their hair.
The applause broke the white-robed women
passed. but it swelled and swelled to its highest
for the day as the shawl-cowled women marched
along.
War is the supreme social leveler. 1t the
mother" in all these women that counted. The
crowd did not care at all whether they were "rich"
or poor"

How Huns Treat French Homes.

Baroness Huard. an American girl
who married a Frenchman, says in
an article in the American Maga-
zine: -.
Compared with what happened
elsewhere, the story Of our little
village Is actually a bright one! The
evacuation was so hurried at that
point that the Germans did not
have time for their usual syste-
matte and atrocious work of de-
struction. However. the nine days
they spent there We're black enough
The officers and the soldiers
made victims of every woman in the
village-from little girls of only 10
years. to old women who were so
afflicted physically that any man
should have pitied them, even IL he
did not feel repulsion toward them.
This I say of my own knowledge.
for it happened in my village and
these women and little girls were
personally known to me. Mine was
only one of hundreds Of towns to
which the Germans came: and, as
I said before. its story is one of
the least horrible. But bring it
home to yourselves, II you want TO
know the kind Of enemies We are
fighting. How would you like them
to come to your town?"

Little Hope of Conquering Moths

DR.. Ralph C. Benedict, an eminent
chemist and student of entomology,
about four years ago undertook a care
full and systematic study Of the clothes
moths with the aim of solving
the problem OF h-proofing ordinary
woolen fabrics, says the Popular
Science Monthly. DR.. Benedict ac-
cumulated a mass Of the most inter-
esting information concerning the life
and activity OF the various clothes
moths during the various stages of
/ their development and made numerous
experiments to ascertain the effect of
many poisonous substances on the
eggs. the larvae and the mature
moths.
In the resume of his researches
which DR.. Benedict published recently
he holds out little hope of conquering
the winged pests which cause so much
damage to furs and woolen materials.
He finds that remedies intended for
the f1ying-moth stage are worse than
useless. So-called repellants. such as
tobacco and cedar, did not repel or
harm the moth in any stage. The
same may be said of other strongly
odoriferous substances. Kerosene and
gasoline fumes were not effective.
Camphor and napthalene in closed
places kill all stages. The eggs and
larvae turn from whitish to a yellow
ish brown in color and the larvae
cease their activity almost fmmedi-
ately. Strange to say. the larvae
lived for weeks on cloth soaked IN
corrosive sublimate without showing
any discomfort. 1t does not take more
than a grain of the stun to kill the
strongest man.

What Kaiser Thinks of Himself.

In an article on the Kaiser in the
American Magazine. Booth Tarking-
ton says:
Some OF the best people in the
world believe that they are more
intimate with God than their neigh
bors are. and often give Him per-
sonal advice in their prayers. In
any controversy they believe He is
on their side They like themselves
best and they believe that He wo1Id
initiate them in their likings. We
have the Kaiser sharing this human
trait. For instance, a year or so
ago he said:
On me, as German Emperor, the
spirit Of God has descended. i am
His weapon, His sword, and His
vice-regent Woe to the disobedi-
ent! Death to towards and unbe-
levers" (He can't get away from
that sword We could hope so
much more for him if ne could be
taught to say not. I am His weap-
on, His sword but 7 am His poison
gas, His T. N. T. and ravisher.' Then
he might be taught-gradually, of
course-to see that blasphemy lies
in fact and in thought, and is not
avoided at all by using prettjfyirg

Why We Win.

We got letter today in an envelope bearing
in its left-hand corner the bit of red white and
blue printing that has come to mean so much to
the many who wait-a triangle with the letters
Y. M. c. A. spread across it and beneath it the
words: with the Colors."
And the letter said:
The fellows who left home when / did two
months ago, have been transferred to another camp
for immediate transportation to France An oppor-
tunity offered to remain here at an officers
training school and 1 jumped at the chance Ny
case seems different You know, l am nearer 90

good job on which 1 was sure to succeed in a big
way. i was earning good money. Most of the fel-
lows called when l was are younger. They hadn't
got very far IN the world and entering the army
didn't mean much of sacrifice to them As an
officer I'll get fairly decent pay"
II the letter had read that way-wel il would
have been point of view to which doubtless a
select has right, but it didn't so read. Here's
the real letter, written, true enough, by a man
nearer 30 than rs, who left success in private life
to become plain buck private:
Il am writing this aboard train. expect to
sail for France in about week. I was offered
the choice of remaining at camp to attend an
officers training school, but decided to 90 while
the going was good. Think of it, mani Some
action, eh what!" 49, .. -'
That's the sort Of pep that's making the blood
of the German war lords cold, as it is sure in
the end to make it run. warm; though not in the
courses nature provided.

Billie Burke Bathes Her Baby.

Billie Burke. the famous actress.
says in the American Magazine:
II never took the business of act
ing very seriously until I played in
'Mind-the-Paint-Girl. I liked being
in My Wife and Love Watches
But as for being mad about the work
well. think my red head was
pretty firmly, set on my shoulders
until Patricia came. She has turned
it completely.
II know there are millions of babies
born every year. There may be bill
lions, for all know. remember it
used to seem as il there were a great
many more than was necessary. But,
with a smiling, dimpling baby of my
own. have revised that opinion.
Just now I am working in moving
pictures, and if any of you notice a
far-away look in M eyes in some Of
the scenes, you'll have to lay it to
Patricia I'm probably counting the
minutes until four o'clock when 1 can
go home to play with her and to put
her to bed
You may wonder why, IL am so
enthusiastic about my baby. I didn't
marry before I did. 1t wouldn't be
human nature for me not to admit
that I did have some opportunities
before I married Mr.. Ziegfeld. But
there was always a string tied to
these chances, string that required
me to give up the stage: and I re-
fused to do that for any man."

ment Especially is such treatment due the horse
during the hot summer weather.
Here is some hot weather considerations to which
every horse is entitled and drivers should observe:
Load lightly, and drive slowly.
Stop in the shade If possible.
Water your horse as often as possible. So long
horse is working, water in small quantities
viii not hurt him. But let him drink only few
swallows if he is going to stand still Do not fail
to water him at night after he has eaten his hay.
When he comes in after work, sponge off the
harness marks and sweat his eyes, his nose and
mouth, and the dock. Wash his feet but not his
legs
If the thermometer is rs degrees or higher,
wipe him all over with damp sponge, using vine
gar water if possible. Do not wash the horse at
night
Saturday night give bran mash, lukewarm;
and add a tablespoonful of saltpeter.
Do not use a horse-hat, unless it is canopy
top hat. The ordinary bel-shaped hat does more
harm than good.
A sponge on top of the head, or even cloth, is
good If kept wet If dry it is worse than nothing.
If the horse is overcome by heat, get him into
the shade, harness and bride. wash out his
mouth, sponge him all over, shower his legs, and
give him two ounces of aromatic spirits of am
monia, or two of sweet spirits of inter, in
a pint of water; or give him pint of coffee warm.
Cool his head at once, using cold water, or if
necessary, chopped ice, wrapped in cloth.
If the horse is off his feed, try him with two
quarts of oats mixed with bran, and little water;
and add a little salt sugar. Or give him oatmeal
cruel or barley water to drink.
Watch your horse. If he stops sweating sud
denly or if he breathes short and quick, or if his
ears droop, or if he stands with his legs braced
sideways, he is in danger of heat or sun stroke
and needs attention at once.
If it is so hot that the horse sweats in the stable
at night, tie him outside, with bedding under him.
Unless he cools off during the night he cannot
we'll stand the next days heat

Lads Of the High Heart.

Over the world our laddies 60,
Singing the songs of home,
Far where the tides of battle break
In a crimson foam.
Over the weary roads of France,
Singing an old-time tune,
They go where the hills are fringed with
And the great guns Groom.
Singing a song, they swing along
Lads of the dauntless West
Their bayonets bright with freedoms light
Onward they press.
Gaily they march with singing lips
Many tireless mile,
And hearten the saddened soul of France,
With Yankee smile.
Over the world our laddies 60
With rollicking song and cheer;
May we be as brave of heart and lip
Who must hnger here!

The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1918-10-07

According to dispatches in Sum
days morning papers, and the more
definite news sent to the Star Sunday
night, the expected great German
peace offensive has opened.
From an honorable enemy, the
news would mean that Germany and
Austria, seeing they cannot win, and
knowing all the world is devastated
by war, were seeking an honorable
peace. Coming from the Hun, who
not only admits but brags that deceit
is a virtue when it is successful, ii
only means that he seeks rest while
he renews his armies, hoping mean
time to weaken his enemies by Great
ing dissension among them.
Emperor Williams announcement
is simply an invitation to every cow
ard to go home, every Stacker to stay
at home and every pacifist and traitor
to stab the armies in the back. And
there will be many vile enough to ac-
|cept the offer if they are allowed to.
The Allies can make but one offer
Unconditional surrender, meantime
we propose to march on your works.
