most modern evidence of that love Of
metaphor which makes the whole world

fashion:

The Boy in

C TEEPED in hot haze of the August
- afternoon
~ The garden dreams of many
splendored trance;
The locusts dronc Il long issistent
tune;
And the boy-the boys in France.
Down the stone steps the rose-pink
phloxes stand,
Like delicate sculptures, through the
breathless day,
Brilliant yet shadowy, as the bright,
vague land;
And the boy-the boys away.
The dogs about the terrace listlcss lie,
Waiting springing step they used
to know;
We wait, we also-and the days crawl
by;
The boy--we miss him so.
! Green fields reach oveu hills to fields Of
u gold;
Far off the city shimmers, gay but
wan;
Tie radiant scene breathcs loneliness
untold;
The boy-the boy is gone.
Sudden his service flags innpetuous story
FLASHES a bugle note across the
flowers;
Sudden the aching loss is pride and
glory;
lie is in Francc-he's ours
Lad of my heart From all across

One thought wings to that land Of
old romance;
One proud America stretches loving

THE SMALL PICKINGS

friend from one of the centers of war material
manufacture telling few days ago. that people were
renting rooms that would accommodate four people, for
So person, $24 These small rooms that
would probably have rented for about SO week for one
person previous to the war.
On that basis family that rented three or four
rooms would make 3d. 600 to $4,000 year. And yet these
same people probably denounce the corporations that are
supposed to be profiteering.
These people may say that all this money comes out
OF the government and no will know the difference
Yet that kind of thing going make the cost of this
war much higher than it need be. When stenographer
has to pay Sc week for half bed in room accommodate
ing four girls she expects enough make up for the
extra price and discomfort The public will pay the bills
in taxes.
The people who take war workers as boarders are
entitled to charge enough to pay for the extra cost
OF food and service they have to hire But when people
rent in houses owned before the war; they are
no higher expense They ought to be glad to let the work
ers have quarters at reasonable price and to do it as
their willing contribution toward our great cause

GOOD SANITATION

While there is special need in time that public
health laws be strictly enforced the universal coopera
ton of the public is necessary if epdemics be avert
ed and disease held down. We need to think about
the and well known principles of good sanitation
A great many people are lamentably careless. The
removal of dirt from their homes is performed in very
sketchy manner The number Of people who don't sweep
in dark corners and under furniture is very large.
They allow thick accumuations of dust to gather
week after week that nests for disease germs When
they catch prevailing epidemic they blame the Lord

around and serve as breeding place for insects that
carry germs
Many people fail to report slight cases Of contagious
disease. They unwilling to go through the bother and
expense of quarantine They don't call doctor unless
child is pretty sick and they get thoroughly frightened
Their children run at large and continue at school, and
give scarlet fever measles, and other dangerous maa-

100000 MEN IN FRANCE

The government is going to be judged on the basis
of what it has actually accomplished So when 1t was
announced by Secretary Baker the past week that we al
ready have army of 900 iii France an achieve
ment recorded of which be pretty well salts
fed
1t less than year ago that we really set out to
place big army in France During the first two months
of our participation in the war there had not been much
anticipation of conducting big land campaign 1t was
thought would c6fine operations to naval work.
and might perhaps send small force to France to show
sympathy than to accomplish large results 1t
was until Gen. 0re and the French commissioners
over and gave entirely view Of the situa
ton that anyone knew the task set before u.s.
The first thing to undertake was the enormous task
of building the military contonments. The soldiers could
live doors in winter They have to be supplied
with decent barracks well cooked food and all the para
phernalia of daily living.
Those environments went up with marvellous speed
The Germans probably thought it would take year to
get them The completion of these great plants to such
point that the could begin actual work in the early
fall was a fine example Of achievement
1t is difficult to see how the could have gone
much before they did No power earth could have
had those ready before last September And
all the military men say takes year to train soldier
Within year from last September will probably have
100000 men in France. That is achievement The
government may we'll feel that the people will say, well
done" when it comes to passing judgment on it.
