IF THE SHOE FITS
WEAR 1T

Considerable speculation is still go
ing on over the Identities of the two
people concerning whom we com
mented during the early days OF the
last Red Cross drive. This specula-
ton is chiefly rife, it seems, among
people who wonder whether the arti-
Gle was directed at them, and others
who for personal reasons are trying
to direct its terms TO people whom
for some reason or other they wish to
injure. Evidently, from late develop
ments, there are several people IN
Elko whom the editorial might fit.
In the latter case, however, we de-
sire TO disclaim any connection with
a malicious attempt TO injure the rep,
utation or hurt the feelings of any
person. We had two definite person
alities in mind when We SHE'D our re-
marks into the ring. Those people
later contributed so the incident clos
| have never made any general an
nouncement of who furnished the
subject matter for our roast. nor have
we said anything about the identity Of
those two people. Therefore anyone
who purports to know who those PEG
pie were is mistaken to say the least
The only safe way to solve the riddle
and to meet the charges of any othe,
person, whether made maliciously o
otherwise, is TO ask yourself whether
the shoe fits. If it does, wear it;
not disregard anything and every
thing you hear to the contrary.

dency to encourage building. A street
thus improved IS an invitation to in
yestors to put their money into dwell
ings. They feel that houses along a
good walk will never lack a market or
lie idle.
II good walks are built on only n
few streets, the tendency is for the
vacant lots on those streets to be
held at high prices which makes rents
high and discourages building. When
you extend good walks to the out
skirts. you encourage people to buy
lots in those neighborhoods at low
prices, and to builo houses that can
be sold or rented without a heavy
charge for carrying high cost land.
Walking to business becomes a
pleasure over a good. firm surface. A

There is another type OF psuedo-

nor discredit for what he does. He Is
the fellow who, under the guise OF
patriotism and a desire to take his
place in the ranks, is looking for
soft place to light in Uncle Sans

OF them and a few of them live right
in this thriving community. or course
there is something in the saying WHO

and be evidenced by a willingness to

than by desire to select something

amount OF authority. The fellow who
legitimately becomes an officer Is the
fellow who takes his chance in the

THE WEATHER

New Haven, May 9-For Bridgeport and vicinity: Fair and warTner tonight; Friday increas- ing cloudiness, probably show CTS.
 Connecticut: Fair and war1n- CT tonight; Friday showers; mod crate winds, mostly southwest.
 An area of low pressure which was central over Utah yesterday morning has moved eastward, in- creasing in intensity, and now forms 8 well defined disturbance central over western Nebraska. It is causing cloudy and showery weather from the Rocky mOun- tains eastward to the lake region. Scattered showers were also re- ported during the last 24 hours on the middle Atlantic coast and in New England. Several stations reported thunder storms. The temperature is considerably low CT this morning on the north Alt lantic coast, but no decided change has occurred in other dis tricts.
 Conditions favor for this vicin- ity fair weather and not much change in temperature.

 The object of the plan, it is stated, is ito enforce every conceivable econ omy in reducing the duplication of all delivery service, to put every vehicle engaged in road transport to the best use in the essential trade interests of the country, and to provide emer- gency transport for military purposes by using the surplus vehicles thus se- cured.
 The country is being divided into 13 districts, with a divisional board in each composed of experts in the trans port trade. Every road vehicle will be registered and full particulars ftaken of it's carrying capacity and character, and licenses will be issued

 chine-guns as they peppered each other for all they were worth. But the Gothas never had a chance. Our machines crowded them so smartly that they had to fly in a very lit eral sense, and the last we saw of them was making for home as fast as they knew how. We had peace for a time after that, so I expect they paid dearly for their visit.
 Fritz Had No Illusions.
 "All these things-the captives' remarks, the gas strafes, and the aerial bomhing-gave the show away to us about the coming offensive, and although I got out of it by receiving my 'blighty' just before it com menced, I knew well enough what was coming, as did everybody else. But we were not over-worried about | it, and not so much worried, ;. I'm | bound to confess, as the Fritzies we, collared there. They had a taste of us before when on the. defensive, and i they knew, even although their, of- 1 ficers tried to buck them&up, what their comrades were in for when the racket opened. They, at least, had no illusions.
 There's only one thing I'd like to
 add. A lot of people, no doubt, are
 troubled about the Hun claims of of captured materials, so many hun dred guns and all the rest of it. We'll,
 I may say that that's the thing that troubles me the least. If these same ipeople had any conception of the amount of the resources we had in materials all along the front, they l wouldn't think so much about that kind of a loss. The real thing to worry about would be the breaking
 of our line and the consequent dis
 organization that would follow. But, if I can judge after three years
 fighting experience, the Huns will
 never do that.
 "One thing I know, and that is
 that the boys will fight to the bitter last rather than give in. It's not on ly that they have big and long scores to pay off against Fritz personally but they've a pride of their own which makes the very thought of de- : feat impossible. And another thing I was in the previous Somme drive and saw the destruction the Huns . made. Well, they'll be sorry for i , now. They left not a blade of gras. then. They'll get not a blade O. . grass to refresh them now. ,They'l
 have to live on their own iron ra t tions-and the iron rations of an t other kind we are busy givin. them" (By The International New; s Bureau, Incl
