SOLDIER AND GENTLEMAN

From Stars and Stripes, France.
 When G. H. Q. last winter wrestled with the problem of providing necessary periodical vacations for an army of sev- eral hundred thousand young men sev- eral thousand miles from home ana finally decided that week every fourth month at a first-class French watering place with hotel bills paid and no mili- tary restrictions would be about right, it may have caused some misgivings. But if 1t did they don't exist any more.
 The Americans have been guests this summer at one of Frances most exclu- sive resorts Not only have they been tolerated by the genteel civilian guest, but they have been accepted, almost ac- claimed, by him. The leave center has been a success all around. If it was ever listed as an experiment, it has been checked off as a successful one. The Tank, from the genus buck up, has proved himself able to put the small of his back in the seat of chair and dIib- ble his feet over the porch railings with the best of 'em.
 And, after all, it isn't surprising. The American army consists of average Americans, and the average American is a gentleman.

JIM HAM'S NEW HAT

Tn truth, the Glope-Democrat and all the other wicked republican partisans. are nervous on account of that heads piece They are not really anxious to see Jim Ham appear on the musings wearing the finest mans hat in America
 They know very well that the voters of Illinois, even before the women got the franchise, had already ratified the Lewis selection of wardrobe. Jim Ham is accustomed to good clothes. He speaks in good clothes by day, and sleeps in good clothes by night. The voters have long been aware of this trait in the Ill-
 nois senator. and it would appear that they quite approve of his taste, for he has been elected once, and only recently was unanimously renominated by the voters of his party. In November Lewis will come up for reelection. In Novem- Der the women of Illinois will cast their first vote for senator. Now, women may not be discerning critics of statesman- ship, but they are keen judges of man harness. We take it that the woman at the polls likes for her candidate to be handsome, and likewise that she likes for him to be dressed fit ito kill,' for it is E known that she admires q well dressed < man on all other occasions. Is it not reasonable to suppose, therefore. that q S9O silk hat will but make 1t all the easier for Senator Lewis to make his ex- pected political mash" on the lady voters o. Illinois?
 We need not marvel at republican ner-t vonsness Medill Mccormick is not as good looking as Jim Ham and is notS the master of colors that Jim Ham is-. and several hundred thousand women voters are to appraise the respective quail ities of the two men.

From the Montgomery Advertiser. | ONHE republican press Is somewhat disturbed over @ new hat that S Senator Jim Ham Lewis picked up
 or his recent trip to London. The re-
 publican St. Louis Globe-Democrat tells l us:
 1 Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois l is himself made a party to story. com ing out of Washington, that he has
 brought back with him from London the most magnificent cream-colored SIX pug hat ever seen on this side of the water' which a London shop-keeper gave to hlm
 because he found him to be the only man handsome enough to wear it. The price | of the hat was 80, but the dealer, evi-
 dently overpowered by the Lewis pulcnrl-
 tude. insisted on making the gift. sem
 ator Lewis is quoted as saying: l toio him that I could pay no such price TOT
 a hat, but he explained, T give 1t you | I have had it on my shelf six years ana
 have never before found anyone hand-
 some enough to wear it.
 l The senatorial hat has hot yet appeared ] in Washington, and the Globe-Democrat
 professes to prefer that it make it's ln- itial appearance on the musings of llll-
 nois. "A cream-colored silk hat would, we are inclined to think" says the st.
 Lcuis paper, .'better harmonize with the Lewis hue of whisker than the shinlns i black one, and it may blend With other
 accessories of his costume to make an improved tout ensemble. But we are
 wholly willing for the sovereign citizens
 of Illinois, who are the Senator's con
 stituents. to sit as arbiters in the case
 and declare their Judgment early in No vember." In fact the Globe-Democrat aa,es Senator Lewis to wear his new hat | an the stllmn before the voters.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

When man is elected delegate for the first time it kind of jars him when he gets there and finds out that he is not the whole convention.
 Don't imagine that the other fellow is interested in what you are saying. He is merely waiting for you to get through because he knows that it is his turn to talk next.
 When a man has been married about 10 days his wife has mysteries if he bumps his big toe. But when he has been married about 10 years he doesn't get much sympathy if he knocks his whole doggone leg ofr.
 If woman happens to be using the phone and the other woman on the party line keeps cutting in as evidence of the fact that she wants to use 1t. the first woman will begin making clothes. doing
 washing, baking bread, knocking the neighbors and discussing movies over the phone just so the other old cat won't get to use it for a half hour
 The betting is that even if you did get sassiety girl to wear g suit of over alls to Eelp win the war, she would insist on wearing a $20 silk combination under the overalls.
 Any man who is engaged in an essen tial occupation should see to it that he gives his employer 50 minutes in each working hour. because in so doing he is giving Uncle Sam the best that is in him. And, if he will but remember that with each movement of his hand he is helping to kill a Hun, he will find his work pleas- ant and easy.
 The feminine idea of conservation seems to be fewer clothes and less cloth in them. Therefore we are hoping that we won't die before we see what we shall see next summer. When an entire army brigade marches down the street and girl can see but one khaki uniform-that is love. There was time when woman thought she was being robbed of her girlhood if she married before she was 25. But nowadays many a girl has been divorced two or three times before she is 20.
 What has become of the old-fashioned modest girl who used to plug the keyhoie of the door of her room with soap? A woman never wants to move into a house as much as she wants to move out of it about the time her husband
 gets settled in it.

on the part of the miners, but Presi- dent Wilson himself, in a ringing proclamation, called upon every man and boy engaged in the mining indus try to work full time in order that re- quirements for the winning of the war be met.
 But the comparatively small records in August and September were dis appoin ting, and unless there be 6 :. in- tensive patriotic dsive during the re- maining three months of the year this districts coal production in 1918 will fall considerably below that of 1917, when it should be, in view of the war situation, two million tons greater.
 Indications point to better results this week than last, but there should be striving for a weekly production of five hundred thousand tons from now until Christmas. If something like that were accomplished the years total would be approximately 19,5O0,- 900 tons. But an average of 450,00O tons week will probably be as much as can be expected.
 No one questions the patriotism of the miners. No class of wage workers is more loyal, but the fact should be stressed that every day miner "lays off, means less steel and fewer shells for General Pershing. It is by doing his best that the man in the mines best manifests his patriotism.

MAKING EVERY DOLLAR WORK

From. the Chicago News.
 Put every dollar over here to work and we will win all the quicker the Prus- sian-erasing victory over there" This plea. made by w. P. G. Harding, govern or of the federal reserve board, in speak ing to the members of the American Bankers association, is worthy of every body's attention.
 If Germany and it's allies are to be de- feated quickly and thoroughly there must be no idle dollars in America. Such dol lars at this time are as objectionable as misspent dollars. The latter at least SC into circulation, and so come into the possession sooner or later of some one who will use them periodically. But idle dollars buy no cannon. no ammunition. no machine guns, no rifles. no uniforms or shoes or food for soldiers and sailors.
 Idle dollars are slackers. And MT. Harding says there are s00.00O.00O ot them hoarded or otherwise lying hidden They should be produced and made a part of the fourth Liberty Loan.

Apparent Delay In
 the Casualty Lists

IN URING the past few days the W war department casualty lists given out for publication have con- tained the names of large number of the men of the 167th infantry. The casualties now announced are for the most part known to have been sus- tained in the heavy fighting of July and August.
 The officials of the war department have repeatedly pointed out that cas- ualty lists were handled as expedi- tiously as possible to be absolutely accurate. Casualties are now checked up by General Pershing and are sent to Washington twice a week by cour- iers. The nearest of kin are always notified by wire before any of the names are made public. When rela- tives are notified it is permissible for them to notify the newspapers in or der that friends of the family may have the news. It is in this way that many of the casualties now being given out for publication have already been published in The Age-Herald and other Alabama newspapers.
