Isn't II wonderful how much reel,
unadulterated pleasure tat woman cen
get out ot having her back scratched
A woman Is better scout than man.
She will, often brag about her husbands
ability, even when she knows that hs
hasn't any.
Don't let the fact that a girl acts un-
natural worry you In the least. II n
perfectly natural way for her 10 act.
The fact that he Is lost In the clouib
should not worry an aviator. II u y
einch that he 10 gong to get back =
earth s sJmc way. ~
Another reason why we hate cats 4
because cat will pass up 300 sparrows
to kill one young robin.
A cheap suit case Is the CHEAPEST look
ing thing In the world and there is no
way to make il look expensive,
OF course II Is none OF our business.
But VIC have always had a huneh that
when a woman's elbow Is sharp, her
tongue Is that way too.
And II Is a good bet, young man. that
the wages Of sin are about the only
wages you'll ever have forced on you.
The only time a Holier- Than hou
reformer ever doubts his Bible Is when
he reads that God created man q little.
lower than the angels. He knows that
the assertion Is too sweeping, because
an exception was made In his case. 3
II YOU would take each mans own
word for il, this world Is composed
purely Of upright and honest men,
We like TO be bunked Just Hike other
folks. But the fact that q musician
looks like he hadn't had the price Of
haircut for eight years never made hi,
performa sound any better 10 us. ~
You must get into the game early
these days or you will discover thaa
every girl worth having has been kissed
before you ct her.
Some girls are so Perfectly Propef
that il must pain them TO think that
they have to use Legs when they walk.

WHAT GREAT WARS HAVE COST
Expenditures That In the Aggregate
Amount to Sum Sufficient to
"Stasger Humanity"

Recently the congress of the United
States passed, almost without debate,
the greatest budget in the history of
the world, making available for Uncle
Sam s7,O00,000,000 in order to carry on
the war on a scale commensurate with
its greatness. 1t is interesting, there
fore, to compare with this the cost of
other wars. The Napoleonic wars,
which ragged over Europe from 1893 to
1915. cost approximately $1,000, ,000, 900.
or the same amount that congress pro-
vided for the United States to enter
into the conflict, and that was only
beginning.
The Mexican war cost the United
States about S100,000,000, a compara-
lively trifing sum. The Civil war,
however, was very expensive affair,
entailing the expenditure Of $S,OO0,-
