A Super Physique

Europe not only discovers in our
armies in France the existence of the
American type, but notes that the
American physique is superior to any
of her own. Their mouths exhibit the
benefit of American dentistry, and what
good teeth mean to health is just com
ing to be understood. Americans are
the only soldiers except the British who
really are accustomed to the bath, and
what frequent ablutiOn means to health
medical science now appreciates. But
the essential reason for the superiority
of American physique is to be found
in the plentifulness Of food in the
United States. The excellence of Cana
dian physique proceeds from like con-
dtlon, as does that of Australian. Our
straining their appetites-i cdentally
to the betterment Of their health-and
some of them are complaining of high
prices. But. save for those of us who
are recent INN grants, we do not real
ize that what we waste the French and
Italians live upon. Europe in our time
never has had enough to eat. Froude
declared that in the reign of Henry
VIII every English family had beet
never since then has every English
family had beef once week. And Eng
land has long been better fed than the
continent of Europe ever vas. Before
the war we Americans fancied that we
had our troubles, but they were mainly
in our minds. This United States in
in fact has always been the reality of
the fabulous Elysium Here has been
more to eat and better distribution of
supplies than anywhere or at any time
in Europe. Here are better care for the
body, more comfort, more conveniences.
more ingenius mechanical appliances
devoted to making ordinary living
easier. There is not perfection here.
Error still proves us human and wrongs
still show us SINFUL but we are farther
along the road to felicity than any soci-
ETY. IN any period of civilization. And
the average American is better ami
NAL, better intelligence and, no doubt,
a better moral person than the average.
He has a better endowment, q better
chance, better living, longer life

TALLY-HO

New York's tea-rooms, of which
there are many, can all lay claim
to some distinctive feature, and
the Tally-Ho, located at 20 East
Thirty-fourth Street, claim to be
one Of the most unique places in
the city is not eXaggerating in the
least.
The Tally-Ho is back from the
street, and the only sign to the
place is hanging globe with the
name on it. and an old sign of a
coach -four" inside the arch
way which points the way to the
old-fashioned brick pavement lead
ing away from the street.
The walk leads to sliding door
where one is admitted by man in
Jockeys uniform. The building was
the old Astor stable, and the ar
engagements inside are just about
what they were eleven years ago,
when the Misses Washington, of Vir-
ginia, converted it into a tea-room.
The box stalls, seating ten, are
turned into quaint little private
booths, having tables in the centre
and cushioned benches on each
side

Years Eve celebrations, to be held
on all floors of his establishment, at
Broadway and Sixty-sixth Street, on
Tuesday evening, December 81. All

terprise will have separate and dis
tinct entertainments that are cal
culated to make history in the night
life of Broadway.
"This is going to be the biggest
New Year celebration that New
York has ever Witnessed" said Mr..
Healy yesterday, in outlining his
plans. "With the war over and our
gallant boys returning from the
front by the thousands daily, New
Workers will find every reason to
make this occasion one Of revelry
and good cheer"

THE PRE-CATELAN

The Pre-Catelan Restaurant, in
West Thirty-ninth Street, near
Broadway, will shortly celebrate its
second anniversary under the man
agement of William H. Barnes. Dur
ing that period Mr.. Barnes has in
troduced d number of original in
novations that have all tended in
doing their share to make the Pre-
Catelan one of the foremost estab-
lishments in the city.
Working on the assumption that
people who care to enjoy the best of
cuisine do not care to be annoyed
by dancing or entertainment, Mr.
Barnes gave orders that there be
no music or dancing before $3.50 or
between $3.50 and $3.50, which means
that one may enjoy either luncheon
or dinner in a quiet atmosphere
with the best Of cuisine and service

PELHAM HEATH INN

Elaborate plans are being made
by Harry Susskind, proprietor of
Pelham Heath Inn, on the Pelham
Parkway, for New Years Eve cele-
bration. The success of the Thanks
giving night here resulted in a
steady stream of reservations for
the arrival of 1919, and Mr.. Suss-
kind will offer most novel night
of witnessing the New Year in. The
same arrangements are also effec-
tive at Blossom Heath Inn, on the
Merrick Road, at Lynbrook, Long
Island, another branch of the Suss-
kind chain of roadhouses.

 Secretary Bakers bill to permit men above draft age and up 55 years of to enlist in the army will those above 40 who want to get into the fight to quote the pagan proverb, Whom the Gods love die young.
 There are many above the prescribed the proposed age for actual fighting to whom the bill proposed by the Secretary of War will prove un- consoling
 Secretary Bakers proposal is that between 40 and 55 be allowed to enlist for noncombantant service. He says in support of the bill in letter to Speaker Clark:
 "Eevery above tine of 40 years, who
 is enlisted in noncomhatant branches of the
 service will make available for duty with the
 line troops a within the prescribed age
 limit for all troops.
 Many men, whose long experience as me
 chancs and artisans will make them partic-
 ularly valuable to the various staff corps and
 departments, may be thus secured, instead of
 younger men without such experience, and the
 efficiency of the staff corps and departments thus
 will be increased.
 There are perhaps 900 between 40 and 55. Secretary Baker says, and they have been "hombard ing the War Department with applications for en- lstment." great majority of men of this class, he believes will be prevented by family ties bus from enlisting, but enough would enlist to serve the purpose in view.
 If Coneress passes law under which men between 40 and 55 would be allowed to enlist for noncom- bor rded the War Department want to enlist?
 bill permitting them to enlist internationally follow ed by administrative disposition of men so that few older than 40 would be used at the front would have been tactful and perhaps effective in procuring enlistments. While it might be under generally that would De little probability of man above 40 being sent to the trenches there would exist at least the possibility, and the volunteer would have the hope that by demonstrating his phy sical ftness-a state in which men at and beyond middle age have pride-he might be assigned with line troops

If the older men should be allowed to volunteer without there being a rigid legislative prohibition of their being sent to the front every volunteer might be- lieve that he could prove himself fit for trench ce and many might be found ft although the rule would be to employ them in noncombatant service and only the exceptionally fit would be otherwise used

THE ATTACK ON ITALY.

That Austria is making desperate effort to re- leve the situation the Western front is probably the explanation of the gigantic assault that has been made along the Italian front the Piave River and in Brenta. That she has been preparing for it for time has been surmised and that the sacri fees the people have been called to make in pre- pairing for it is partly, at least responsible for the growing discontent in Austria, is likely.
 It is easily beevable that the Germans hope that the attack against Italy will be strong that the Allies will be compelled weaken their line in France and thus make it possible for the Germans to attack it successfully
 It has been announced that Italy has 250 900 in France, and Germany has been after Austria for some time prevent by pressure any. further re- Inducements to the French and British from Italy However. these Italian troops the French front have been compensated for by like number of French.

 the horror the anger which would seize the Ger

 to his sovereign in so casual a manner? Fragrant
 lese majese of that sort would be tolerated.

 All of which is very fine and inspiring, but how much inspiring to a world, fighting for democ- racy if that soldier could have said to President President David Lloyd George for nstance-"put it there."

JUNEAU'S FIRST CANNED SALMON.

Juneau should be only a center for the canning of salmon, put she should the headquarters of the salmon can nerymen of Alaska.
