WAR WEDDINGS ARE
 VERY PICTURESQUE
(Nogue)

ANOSOty
 F or wedding, and only for a we'd ding. can woman be counted upon to slip out of her canteen apron, the khaki of her motor ambulance corps uniform, or the white of her Red Cross costume, and into her smart street clothes. To the weddings of the season have trooped debutantes-or what would have been debutantes had there been no War-and doWagers, older men from governmental conferences, and youns men on a few hours leave from the nearby camps.
 And such weddings as they hayc been-like to no weddings that Amer ica has looked upon before, at once more formal and less formal than the weddings of the past, emphasizing the picturesque quality of the day in al most every instance. In many cases just as many as not-the bride has dis pensed with the formality of white sat in and lace, but compensation for the lack of picturesqueness in her attire is always to be found in the uniform of the groom and those of the usners as well. Grooms, by the way, are becom- ing more and more conspicuous at weddings. Fair indeed, must be the bride and bridesmaids who can cope with the charms of say. a khaki claG first lieutenant, a trim blue uniformed ensign and a bronzed young member of the aviation corps.
 Not few of the weddings have fol- lowed an engagement but forty -eig Int hours old; and for this event, the bride must wear a costume such as she can purchase on so short notice. She sum- mons her guests by telephone, and, presto, the deed is done. The most hur ried of the war-brides of the season,

The Crown Princes Side

The former German crown princes case as made out by him would be good one if there were not much contemporary evidence in refutation His purpose is evidently to the consent of the world. if the German people may later consent, for him to ascend the throne of the Hohcnzoerns.
 Whatever may have been his part in bringing the late war, he had long been regarded the head or at any rate the tool of the party in Germany Of no ability himself his position seized upon by the who had sought for ten years to apply the torch to Europe and the world.
 Every writer of German events, German as well foreign writers have agreed upon the miltaristic character of the prince. Perhaps all that has been written true, but there has been nothing buc his statement controverting any part of it. Much of it written without apparent mo- tive passing picture of the princes character.
 His statement regarding the first German re- verse at the Marne four years ago, which he says n exorably decided the war. is at variance with the known facts in that he attributes the German de- feat 10 a case of nerves the part of German generals The primary cause of the defeat was the crown prince himse-his failure, in part because of he could not control and in part his own stub born disregard of program which would certainly have resulted in the capture of Paris.

THE BABY'S SLEEP.

The infant brain increases it's
size two and one-half times in the
first year, a greater growth than
takes place during all the remaining
years of life. At the same time this
enormous brain development is ia
king place the other organs of the
body are growing rapidly. During
sleep the body tissues are re-created
and the energy and materials needed
for the activity of the waking hours
are stored up. 1t is manifest, there
fore, that the baby must have cor
respondingly large allowance of
sleep. He should always sleep in a
bed by himself, and whenever pos
sible in room by himself, where he
need not be disturbed by the pres
ence Of other persons, and where
light, warmth, and ventilation may
be adjusted to his particular needs.
Not a few young babies are smoth-
cred while lying in the bed with an
older person, some part of whose
body is thrown over the baby's face
during heavy sleep.
A young baby sleeps Is or 20 hours
out of "a. At months of age baby
sleeps about 16 hours, at one year
about IA hours, and at 2 years at
least IL hours. Daytime maps should
be continued as long as possible.
For very young or delicate babies
the temperature may be permitted to
should be kept at about IS degrees.
After the baby is three months old
the temperature may bepermitted to
fall to 55 degrees, and during the
second year to as. Strong and heal
thy babies are quickly accustomed to
cool and even cold sleeping rooms
and usually sleep more soundly and
keep themselves covered better than
when sleeping in warm rooms. In Sc
we're northern winters, where the
temperatures drop many degrees be-
low freezing before morning, the ba-
by must wear a flannel nightgown
over the cotton one. The sleeves
should be pinned together over the
ends of the fingers so that the hands
will be covered. The baby should
also take his daytime maps in cold
room.

We will never have a country I'M
less we stand oy it and fight for it.
A law without an enforced penalty
is no good. A man with no fight in
him when the need comes for it is a
country wrecker. A country full of
men with no interest in it spells dis
aster. Each one of us is unit of
the whole and we must be that unit
when the time comes. Americans
are taught to stand up like men--not
to kneel at the behest of anyone, as
do the poor, unlettered Russians.
We elect our leaders. And they
must first have won their spurs to
wear 'em. No idiot in the line of
succession can rule us of America.
If they fail to make good, we fire 'em
and get someone to rule who knows
how to rule and rightly so for the
good of the whole. The psychologist
al moment has come when militarism
and royalty must go. We must win
this war else royalty will rule US.
And it never will. 1t must go in the
discard. 1t has had its death grip
too long on the necks of it's subjects.
Down into oblivion where it belongs
is now the concensus of opinion of

Work or Fight Order.

Information gathered as to the
operation and results of the "work
or fight" regulations appears to war
rant the assertion as a conservative
estimate, that 100000 registrants
have changed over from non-pro-
ductive to productive occupations
since the regulations were promul-
gated.
This information has been gath
cred from the following four prin-
cipal sources: The local boards, the
United States Employment Service
the Emergency fleet Corporation, and
retail merchants associations, accord
ing to the official bulletin of the Min
nesota Commission of Public Safety.
Reports from the local boards in
"A states, as of August 25, 1918,
showed that 52,826 registrants had
been notified up to that time to APP
pear before the boards on account Of
idleness or reproductive occupa-
tion. Of this number 1885 subse-
quently notified their boards of a
change to productive occupations,
1O,643 were certified to district
boards for decision, and the cases of
1883 were still pending before the
local boards. Of the 1O,943 were
found to be idle or non-productively
employed, and therefore had their
order numbers or deferred classical
ton withdrawn. Those whose order
numbers or deferred classifcations
were not withdrawn by the district
boards numbered 5,608, and the
cases of 2,340 were still pending on
August %.
1t is estimated that every one Of
the 28,825 men who notified the local
boards of change to productive oc-
equations, three or four men moved
from non-productive to productive
occupations without awaiting action
by their local boards, following the
PRONUNCIATION of the ''work or fight
regulations.

to a majority of them the work or

an average increase of at least 20 per
cent in applications for employment.
Information furnished by 154 re-
tail stores in large cities of the coun-
try as Of August l show that about
1000 men had left their employ to
engage in productive occupations.
Ten hotels in Washington, D. C.
as of August 1, reported that 176
men employed by them had left to
engage in productive occupations.
