IDEAS BORN IN THE WEST
San Francisco Newspaper Thinks
Little of Imagination Displayed
by the East.

Like so many western ideas, the
jitney is gradually making its way
eastward. 1t has reached Philadel-
phia, it is an issue in Washington,
it is dipping its tires in the surf at
Atlantic City. The East never had
Imagination enough to invent such
simple matter as the jitney.
The jitney is merely an illustra-
ton. There are no new ideas of any
kind in the East, except ideas among
a limited circle concerning ways of
getting peoples money away from
them. The West is Americas great
idea factory. The West can invent
and popularize everything necessary
from the jitney to the judicial recall.
The East is classic, the West roman
tic; the East is tory, the West lib
eral; the East stands pat, the West
keeps hopping right along.
Ne" 1OIh cry Is NOT TIE nation
literary, artistic and musical CEN
ter; it merely happens to have its
hands on money enough to buy lit
erature, art and music, which Is
quite a different thing. The New
York idea ought TO be dethroned.
Why should New York pass on our
plays and our books and our public
policies when it hasn't sense enough
even to invent a jitney? New York
ought to get down on its knees and
thank heaven that there is a West to
furnish the salt to give it such SAVIOR
as it has.-San Francisco Bulletin.

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tion's War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted
Famine at Home In Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption OF sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the Injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $3.50 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
900 tons, In October the distribution
fell TO 100000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the lnjuncrions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been In the throes OF a sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominsntly as this reduced consump-
ton of sugar. BY it we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops wire in sight
Now the nation is in a position so
that IL We choose we may return 10
our normal home use of sugar. and
Europe. with the release OF ships to go
far afield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however. those
nations are to increase their use OF
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton

WHALES TO SUPPLY LEATHER
Demand on America for Shoes viii
Soon Exhaust tho Natural Sup
ply Now on Hand.

Now is the time TO realize on that
claim Of 4 few years ago that the
whales could supply the world with
leather. 1t has been figured out
from the war activities of Europe,
the silence of the tanneries and the
shoe factories over there and the de-
mands of this country that Ameri-
cans must make 14,000,000 pairs of
shoes month right along to supply
the world, the Worcester Mass
Telegram states. There is a consid-
cradle supply Of leather for the pres
emit, but the hunt for more must be
fast and furious if the shoes are all
to be made Of leather. South Ameri-
ca and Australia offer many hides,
but not enough by hundreds of thou
sands, and they are far away, with
the ships mostly idle. Then where
are the whale feathers, made not so

mammals are from the insides, &C
cording to the claims of experts.
Leather is going up, and substitutes
will be in furious demand before
long. Shoes are not the only impor-
tant products Of hides to be in great
demand. Harness will be needed
more than usual, and saddles galore.
Men at war have no time to stop to
save the hides of the thousands of
horses killed in the battles or the
leather goods they fall under. The
cooler heads and hands in the Uni
ted States are expected to make the
supplies and provide themselves with
the materials also, and they will get
larger profits for their energy if they

GERMANY'S RECORD AS NATION
Rose to Power in Trickery and Has
Long Been Recognized as Thor
oughly Inscriptions.

Germany up to 70 years ago was
not in existence as a nation, but was
federation of small principalities.
Prussia, the nucleus of the German
empire, was always quarrelsome,
boastful of her military supremacy,
crafty, cruel and of doubtful diplo-
matte integrity. The South German
principalities, although more or less
Prussian in blood, vet were indie
pendent, and constantly fighting
with each other, jealous and striving
for power one over the other. The
famous federation of German states
which was believed at first by the
people to be a true democratic fed
Grafton, was fathered by Bismarck,
the Iron chancellor. The triekery
BY which many of the German states
were hoodwinked into this alliance
was the direct cause of the German
revolution, which was nipped in the
bud through the already marvellous
perfection of the German militaris-
tic machine, and in 1S4S some 50O,-
geo German revolutionists emigrat-
ed to the United States with the
price of Prussia's disapproval on
their heads. Since that time Ger
many has been recognized as for
midable military power by all the
world. The only war she had waged
as federated empire up to.the pres
emit one was the Franco russian war
in 1870 in which Germany was
markedly the victor. 1t was settled
by indemnity and the annexation of
Alsaee-Lorraine.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events IT
Is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July Of 1917. when this eoun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.

rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared In & public statement, mo

SAVE YOUR HAIR
AND BEAUT|FY It
WITH 'DANDERINE"
Spend a few cents! Dandruff
disappears and hair stops -
coming out.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful,
wavy and thick in
few moments.

If you care for heavy hair. that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy ana lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have dam
druff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its luster, its strength and
it's very life, and If not overcome it
produces a feverishness and itching
of the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls
out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter for few cents; apply a little
as directed, and ten minutes after
you will say this was the best in
vestment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if you
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair
and lots of it-no dandruff-no itch
ig scalp and no more falling hair
you must use Knowlton's Danderine.
