Editor In Retirement.

A Georgian editor, who retired some
years ago, has recently been review
ing that part of his career which has
been free from the labOrs of the news
paper office.
He finds, in contrasting it with pc
riod of similar length prior to his
abandonment of the lead I,encil and
the shears, that the change has been
great, indeed. Residing in his own
comfortable, If humble, home, nothing
has been asked of him while taking
his well-earned rest except to chop
and bring in all the firewood, supply
the house with water from the spring,
start the kitchen fire every morning,
feed the hogs, the chickens, and the
COW; milk and churn, plant and weed
the garden, and attend to miscellane-
Gus chores.
1t is worth while, he evidently
thinks. to work hard as an editor for
few years in order to enjoy the
luxury Of retirement later on

the privates In a hearty grip and ejac-
ulated.

Warm Air for Flyers.

To protect military airmen from the
intense cold of the upper atmosphere
and also avoid the burden of cum
bersome, heavy garments, an airheated
one-piece costume has been designed.
says the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The suit is made Of two layers of ma
terial and supplied with a system of
air conduits extending to its various
extremities. Air, taken in through a
funnel mounted behind The propeller
and warmed by passage through coil
encircling the motors exhaust pipe, is
carried into the main artery of the
suit by flexible tubing connected at
the rear. The heat circulates into the
gloves and shoes worn by the airman
and rises around his body, while cool
air passes out through valves.

AFLAME WITH VIVID COLOR
Section of Northern Montana Brilliant
Scene During the Short Months
of Summer.

The Blackfeet, or Piegans, as they
call themselves, number approximate
~ 200. The setting for this pictur-
eSque tribe is wonderful country,
without glimpse of which nc. picture
of the Blaclfeet would be complete.
Elsie Il. Newton writes in the South
ern Workman. The reservation is in
northern Montana; in area it is about
two-thirds the size of Connecticut. 1t
lies up next to Canada on the north
ana Glacier park on the west. The
park was once n part of it, and re-
tains many Indian names, such as
Going-to-theS Sun mountain, Rising
Wolf mountain, Two Medicine lake
and river and others.
From the splendid white-topped
range on the west the country drops
to rolling prairie eastward. 1t is a
region of bitter winds and storms for
several months in the year. Closer to
the mountains, there is not a month
when frost is unexpected, and snow
falls as late as June. But as soon as
the last flake has disappeared the hill
sides flame almost overnight with wild
flowers. The splendor of them contin-
ues throughout the short summer, one
brilliant shade succeeding another.
Half acres in purple, spots of blue,
streaks of yellow-one sees this sort
of color effect week after week.

TnE SOrTn RIyHR BRIDGE.

Everybody who has an occasion 10
use South River bridge has much
cause for qualification over the bill
introduced in the House a few days
ago by Delegate Melvin Of this coun-
ty, TO direct the State Road Commits
sion TO take over and maintain the
bridge. If this bridge is made a part
of the State road IL will mean, OF
course, that very soon il will either
be repaired sufficiently for decent
travel or replaced by a new one. That
something should be done at once to
secure safe travel. everyone will ad-
init, for the bridge is in a disgrace
full and unsafe condition.
Since the State took over the road
from Annapolis to Solomon's Island,
of which this bridge has always been
necessarily the connecting link and
part thereof, it has been a question
as to who should take care of it, the
county claiming the State should do it,
and vice versa, consequently it has
been, as il were, an orphan, without
guardian TO look after it, Occasion
ally someone has put in new board
and patched the holes therein, but this
has not been sufficient aud 1t al
most marvellous that there have not
occurred some serious accident.
Automobiles have been the great
est victims. The long spikes sticking
up have had no mercy on the tires and
have cost their owners considerable.
One day, last summer, we are told,
an automobile was seen to stop at one
end of the bridge and gentleman to
get out about a dozen times and ham
mer enough of the spikes down to-
make Il possible for his car to cross.
This probably sounds like a joke,
nevertheless, il is true, and no doubt
there were many others who would
have done the same thing, but the oc-
cupant of the automobile was minus
a hammer or too mod sst to be seen at
such great task,
AS to who should take over this
bridge does not seem to be at all diff
cult to us. The very fact that the
State owns and maintains the road
from Baltimore to Solomon's, hun
dreds of automobiles travelling over
this bridge continuously, almost every
day. from and to all points in the
State, is sufficient to warrant the Leg
islaturs to compel the State Road
Commission to accept this bridge and
relieve the county of the burden of its
maintenance.
We trust that the Anne Arundel
delegation will to a man work for the
passage of this bill. 1t is a good
measure and should not be allowed to
sleep.

THE LENT OF 1918.

While the beginning of Lent nat
urally brings with it austere sugges-
tions that have to do with spiritual
humility and the garment of repen-
tence" that is woven of the traditional
sackcloth and dusty with the ashes of
old regrets and sorrows of our own
making, the advent of the season,
penitential and full of the sacred du-
ties of abstinence as 1t is, from a sec
ular standpoint, cause for JOY and
thanksgiving.
1t sweeps the mind forward from
the glacial wastes of winter. where
trouble, toward the genial, smiling
plains of spring, whose first harbin-
ger is found in the Lenten dawn.
After such a stern, remorseless win
ter as that just passing, this hope, this
promise is richer and more precious
than ever.
But Lenten opportunity opens wide
this year. Our country has been
through a great deal during the year,
But much more is still to be done.
and until every American has con-
secrated himself to the unacceptable
obligation he owes his country of Civ
ing it, if needs be, everything he pos
sesses, both spiritual and material,
the dawning of that other and more
y,-opderful enrine that will come with
the declaration of a victorious and
permanent peace will be postponed,
perhaps, indefinitely.
The observance of Lent teaches US
that the religious fathers of the early
days of the Church realized the ne
cessity for abstinence, for fasting-in
a word, for self-denial-in the process
of spiritual development. Humanity,
however, is not constructed so that
il can practice a continuous regime
of ascetieism, and the observance of
the forty days that orthodoxy has
fixed as an inviolable fixture of the
Church calendar is probably about as
much as could be expected.
The American people, however. have
got to learn new lessons in self
denial, of how to live on considerably
less than they are accustomed to, of
individual and collective economy.
This need not bring with it an epoch
of suff 4ring nor of material depriva-
