Troizky, His View

If Trotzky's purpose is honestly and reliably set
forth in his book, 'The Bolsheviki and World
Peace" now appearing serially the American pub.
lie, generally speaking, has had the wrong view OF
the man and his aims
According to Author Trotzky, the crux of the Boil
sheviki doctrine is "The industries for the working
men; the land for the peasants and it must be ad-
mitted that there is whole lot of thought along
that line in America and not little attempted, tho
perhaps indirect legislation.
We have, at least, got as far as government regu-
lation of the wages hours, working conditions and
ages of the working classes We, at least have ac-
knowledged the viciousness of large land holding
and the injustice of our system OF taxing lands
But, if Trotzky is misunderstood by us, he is
equally mistaken in us, since he prOclaims that our
purpose in this war is but to suppant imperial cap
italism with capitalism of our own.
Trotzy's American experience was confined to
lowest stratum of the metropolis and naturally, he
got no typical view of America
Capitalism all over the world is getting the
screws put to it. In Great Britain and France war
taxation alone, bids fair to eliminate capitalism as
a governmental power or dominating influence.
In our own country, government has taken over,
bodily, the greatest industry on earth-American
railroads. To complete this labor is harder in
America than in other countries, for the simple rea
son that in America the average of content is high
est. We're slow about overturning the autocracy
of capitalism, but steady. Every move we've made
in this war has been blow upon the shackes that
capitalism has put upon our industrial, economic
and political Life.

DANDRUFF GOES!
HAIR GETS THICK,
WAVY, BEAUTIFUL
Save your hair! Double its
beauty in a few moments.
Try this!
Hair stops coming out and
every particle of dan
druff disappears.

Try as you will, after an appli-
cation of Danderine, you can not
find a single tarce of dandruff or
falling hair and your scalp will
not itch, but what will please you
most, will be after few weeks
use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over
the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair.
No difference how dull, faded,
brittle and scraggy, just moisten a
cloth with Danderine and careful
lily draw it thru your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. The
effect is immediate and amazing
your hair will be light, fluffy
and wavy, and have an appearance
of abundance, an incompatible
lustre, softness and luxuriance,
the beauty and simmer of true
hair health.
Get q small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty
and soft as any-that it has been
neglected or injured by careless
ltreatment-that's all.
Danderine is to the hair what
fresh showers of rain and sunshine
are to vegetation. 1t goes right
to the roots, invigorates and
strengthens them. Its celebrating,
stimulating and life-producing
properties cause the hair to grow
long, strong and beautiful.

ANSWERS o cyMM GREY

Such a spell is on him now.
Shall l give him up at whatever
ache it costs me? Either way
there Is an awful life before
me. MAZDA.
Some very excellent persons
would hasten to urge you to let
tho man go out of your life. But
the fact Is that no other human
being has any right to decide this
matter for YOU. Some virtuOus
men have the faculty of making
life one bowling pandemonium for
their wives. This man aItho he
is gambler, and in spite of his
moods, might make spots in your
life so happy that you would glad
" endure the intervals of misery,
and the chances of alternating
poverty and riches. The fact that
the man always comes to crave
your pardon and forgiveness
proves that your shadow has fall
en- across his heart. II you choose
to discover it, it is Just possible
you would find that you could
exert a subtle influence over his
life that would cause him to turn
away from the old life, even at
this late day.
Who would dare direct your
course? If we go to the east, or
IL we go to the west we get around
the world at last; and in love 1t is
much the same. You will prob
ably be sorry If you do marry this
man, and you will probably be
just as sorry IL you do not.

seemed to have much leisure
time. Finally he told me he was
a gambler. He does not drink
and Is refined and moral. We
drifted into our engagement be-
cause he is man of high ideals.
My family is highly respected. l
have always known fine men,
but aside from this mans pro-
fession, none so fine as he. He
was on the sea in his early life,
and took up this business as
something. at which he could
make quick profits. He is in
the late thirties and I am 26.
My friends are all shocked, as
they think me far above him.
When he loses he will not come
near me for weeks. Finally
the spell passed, and he comes
and asks to be forgiven, and
then he treats me like a queen.
Then another spell comes and
lasts perhaps three months.

DICK SHARES MARCHES
SECRET


After Chad and Mollie went
home last night, Dick came and
sat down beside me. For little
while he said nothing and then
his arm stole about me and he
said: otis pretty tough luck for
Mollie, isn't it, Margie?"
"Yes, Dick" l answered. an

night, just before they left she

$50 would l." said Dick softly.
Il turned quickly at that and
looked Dick squarely in the face.
He must have read my thoughts
In my expression.
Surely l would. You feel that
way, too, don't you. Margie?" he
asked almost TREMENDOUSLY, as he
drew me to him to close en-
brace.
Eyes, I'm sure | would rather
have a little blind baby than no
baby at ALL" / whispered close to
his ear. "But | hope there won't
be any such sorrow for us. dear"

it," said Dick tenderly.

eyes. think I knew it almost as

how I have wanted to tell you

Every man in the world, l be-
lieve, every descent, sincere man,
wants a child. Sometimes 1t is
an egotlstical desire to perpetu-
ate ones personal traits and tai
ents," he said with his little
crooked smile, land sometimes 1t
is better desire to carry on in a
child what a man has not himself
been able to do in his life. Mar
riage is but partnership; par
enthood is vastly mere signifi-
cant. 1t is the immortal aspect
of marriage, for it involves the
future of the race. Thru your
child will come countless other
children and in the future so that
the perpetuation of the race Is
assured, and if the intelligent,
healthy and moral people do their
part, directed in the best chan
nels."
"And so you are glad, Dick, ;"
I said. you are willing to as
sumo this responsibility" l ask
ed as I nestled up to him.
Much more so than was
when we were expecting Sonny,
Margie. Sometimes / have felt
that we were not going to have
children, and I felt that it was
perhaps the law of compensation

BotCh of a Job

The literary editor of London Nation, who, in
his intellectual hghfalutinity is perpetually trying
to refine redistill denature perfectly good white
mans language, has tackled the term "drunk, - and
made a botch of it. It's matter of some concern,
too even here where they occur only once in a
while, since the courts are frequently at loss for
clear definition of the term.
This London editor man offers such descriptions
as "fou,'' 'groggy," "potvolant," screwed"
''served-up,'' "nappy,'' "muzzy,'' and other dis
tincty British but is ignorant wilfully neglectfu
of the whole choice American vocabulary, and
America probably produces as many DRINKS as any
country.
What sense in a list of terms or phrases on this
topic which omits such dainty synonyms as
s'soused,' ''stewed," loaded "pickled,"
"tanked," 'corned,'' "besot,' .'boosed and

The Part of Each
And tho you be done To the death, what then?
Ii you battled the best you could,
If you played your part In the world Of men,
VJ,xyt b< Cr;f caI

Why, the Critic will call it good
There's heap of timely philosophy in this ex-
cerpt from one of the early poems of Edmund Vance
Cooke, who is daily delighting Times readers
with his verse and humor
The part which we have to play in this world is
simply the doing of our best The Lord does not de-
mand Success" of us but our level best according
to our capacity.
The great Critic is likely to pin the Cross of the
Legion of Honor upon the breast of the poor widow
who, with hungry and ragged children about her
and made old with multiplied cares and struggles,
knits sweater for soldier, as upon the breast of
a general who wins with shot and sword.
Not all of us given the same capacity save
capacity to sacrifice, and this that's raging is
a matter of sacrifice.
The judgment of the great Critic is not to be
warped by title, position, the bare of trumpets,
the glitter of what call fame. We cannot all
fight, or even knit, but there is not one among us
but do his her level best at self-denal, and
win or lose, 'the Critic will call it good.''

Dear MISS Grey: i nave a
piece of beautiful shadow lace
left. Could ! use 1t for baby's
best dress? If not, please sug-
gest something else?
YOUNG MOTHER.
Baby's special dresses should
be of fine muslin or nainsoOk,
with no lace trimming save an
edging of fine Val, or a bit OF in
sertion. Hand embroidery is as
pretty q trimming as can be put
on a baby's dress and it costs
except time.
Dear Miss Grey: refused
to go on a launch party the
other day because there were
thirteen in the party and the
host flatly refused to invite an
other guest simply because he
said he would cure me of my
foolishness. He is now angry
with me because I did not go,
but / claim that the grounds
for my refusal were substan-
tial; that It really is unlucky
to be member of a party of
13. Miss Grey, will you please
state thru your columns that
l am right SO I will have real
proof? BERNICE.
If I must disappoint you, Ber-
nice, 1 am sorry; but 1 cannot
fall in with your argument. Prac-
teal reasoning has proved be-
yOnd a doubt that the much
number "13" has no mys.
terious power or importance in
shaping human events.
SuperstttiOns, charms, spells,
amulets, talismans and magic dc
not "work" except as they pro-
duce a bad influence on the minds
of those who believe in them, just
as in your case It has robbed you
of a pleasant time, and caused
you to offend your friend.
Some SuperstitiOns have been
traced back to the most ancient
times, but their original meanings
remain a matter of speculation.
Even educated people do not al
ways see how absurd these primi-
tive ideas are. But because the
belief i'm superstitions causes so
much misery it Is a duty to dis
credit them, whenever possible.
Dear Miss Grey: I have been
married for more than a year,
but cannot love my wife as I
have loved another for years.
I had been engaged to this other
girl, but while at school she
eloped with another. I have not
seen her for two years, but her
face is always before me. I
married, hoping I would be able
to forget her. She has invited
us to visit them, but I am
afraid I would show my love for
her in some way. My wife does
not know that I love this girl,
and wants me to invite them
to our home.
Miss Grey, am depending
upon your answer to guide me
In making mine.
UNHAPPY.
It might be a very good thing
for you to see this girl and dis
abuse your mind of the idea that
you still love her. Such halluci-
nation often persists. forming q
sort OF dream haze about the love
that used to he. DO not invite
these people to your home or visit
them In theirs, but make arrange
mcDts to see them with your wife,
and I am sure the woman you have
cannot but stand out more
favorably in your regard than the
one whose test Of loyalty to you
failed in the supreme moment.
