SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMAN

Effects

My daughter, what is the most hate
full and the most hated word in the
English language?
What is the most terrible word ut
tered by the tongue of man?
Verify, verify, when / was child
I thought as a child, and unto me the
bitterest of all words was the word
Mustn't"
And when l was a damsel dreamed
as damsel, and unto me the most
dreaded of all words was the word
"Spinster!"
But now that l am wife, l under
stand as a wife, and all my suffer
ings are the sufferings of a wife
and 10, unto me the most frightful of
all words under the sun is the word
"WHERE!"
Behold, the days of married wo-
man are filled with WHERE'S" and
her ears are blasted by their repeti-
ton!
For the Love Song of a Husband is
an eternal chant, and it's every verse
beginneth 'Where!"
'Where are my clean socks and
my other cuff-links?"
Where dost thou keep the towels?"
"Where hast thou secreted the
morning paper -
Where in heaven didst thou HIDE
my hat?"
where didst thou bury the book
was reading?"
Where are the hammer and nails
and the ladder, and the wrench,
and the picture wire?''
where did l lay my watch?"
'Where in the name of Mike is the
cigarette I just put DOWN."
where didst thou put my old slip
pers (or shoe-trees, or golf-sticks, or
pipe, or tobacco, or pen, or eye-drop-
per)?"
where can l find a piece of court
plaster (or the adhesive tape, or per-
oxide. or liniment, or cough-drops, or
matches)? ?"
Where did l leave that letter."
"where've you seen my razor
blades?"
"Where the deuce is my .eye-shade?"
Where shall l hang this wet rain

Verify, verify, a woman's bump of
curiosity may come naturally, but
her bump of LOCALITY is acquired

simple thing beside the daily task of

And the mobilizing of an army is

ern states from whence most of them

Their contentment at sea, and when
in the submarine zone, constituted
another delusion. Among these troop
ers were some clever boxers, and the
monotony of ''just sky and water"
was frequently broken by some rattl-
ing boxing matches between these
troopers for pretty substantial purses
which the white passengers contri-
buted merely out of admiration and
repsect for these big, brave black boys
who did not fear to come over here
Ito fight for world democracy.
An amusing incident took place, the
second day out. Forty or fifty of the
Colored soldiers had formed circle
and were singing to their hearts de-
light, and the delight of the passen-
gers. One of them, seemingly, changed
his voice with each song or hymn.
What do you sing?" called down
from the upper deck, a good-natured
son of the Emerald Isle. Quick as
a flash came the answer: Sometimes
sing bass and sometimes l sing So
prano.' And it was true, for in the
chorus de adapted himself to the type
of the song he was singing to the
circumstances, to the other singers,
and above all, perhaps, to his mood.
Because they were ighthearted and
cheerful when going across the big
waters, it must not be accepted they
were lighthearted because of lack of
brain development, for many among
them were bright intelligent men,
graduates of Howard University and
other accredited schools.

to have been able to secure some
real, permissible news about what
the Colored soldiers-our boys-have
done, and are doing to maintain the
races traditional reputation for brav-
cry, endurance and patriotism, and to
help make the world safe for de-
mocracy."
If this world democracy we are
fighting for is like the sample 1 have
been made acquainted with, from
New York to Paris, 1 have no doubt
that they are putting up whaling
good fight to land the Democracy

Some of the grossest sins and
crimes imaginable are committed in
the church as well as out of the
church, and in many instances not
hidden from the votaries, yet they
are allowed to exist without a pro-
test. The words "excommunicate,"
"disfellowship" and "expell'' are OBJ
solete in many of our churches. If
the member pays we'll, or is popular
in society, he can do about as he
likes and still be honored in his
church.
Our God is telling the churches "He
has somewhat against them"
Read Rev., End chapter.
And what about the corruption Of
society? Graft, deception, treason,
underhand work, thievery, robbery,
murder, and, well, let st. Paul finish
enumerating these evils in Gal 5:13-
21.
The sacred bond of matrimony has
become mockery. The holy Bible
gives but two causes for the separa-
tion of man and wife: one is death,
the other is fornication. Read what
Jesus said in Matt. 5:31-32.
! Sabbath observance is a thing of
the past. If there is any one thing
plain and clear in the Bible it is the
command to keep holy the Sabbath.
But Sunday can hardly be distinguish

The influence epidemic seems to be
on the wane, the results of the war
seem to be in our favor, but the dis

frightful change in affairs in less

not exhausted His resources yet;
there are other things He can do still.
He declares He will avenge the evil

poon with your satire. Ruefully,
A. PESSIMIST.
Dear Pessimist:
You ARE pessimist, aren't you?
But you have touched on a vital
question.
Which is seething at the back of
every woman's mind
what will be the chances of mar
rying, after the war;"
So l am going to answer you right
here in public!
Perhaps you are correct in asking
what I am going to write about.
l DID wonder, myself-for a little
while.
When I first realized what this war
has done to bring men and women
together.
And to make them see each other
in a new and glorifying light.
And to turn cynics into sentimental
lists, and misogynists into lovers and
Knockers into crusaders, and man-hat-
ers into Red Cross nurses or hero
worshippers-and all that.
And 1 felt like Mrs. Othello, with
her occupation gone!"
But you are wrong-ALL WRONG!
When you assume that HUS-
BANDS will not be plentiful after the
war!
For they will be tenfold more plen-
tiful than ever.
And so much more desirable and
lasting and worth while!
Fewer BACHELORS-to lampoon?
OF coursei Far fewer!
And by that same token, fewer
bachelor girls and fewer spinsters and
superfuous women
But MORE marriageable and MAR
RYING MEN than ever!
For those who come back from
France will be REAL men
Not mollycoddles, nor mothers
pets" nor tango lizards, nor wasters,
nor lightweights, nor clods, nor hard
shelled money-grubbers-
They will be men who have seen
the best and worst of life
Who have looked into the eyes Of
eternity and touched the hem of
deaths white garment-men who have
found their souls!
They will not take life lightly, for
they know the glory of it!
They will have weighed the things
of life in the balance.
And with clear eyes will see all
things in their true proportion.
And so, they will KNOW
That, after all, Home" and Wife"
and Love" and Marriage" are not
the little side issues, the mere ad-
juncts to life, they once thought
But life's Big Realities-the foun-
dation stones of Happiness
For which they have fought and suf-
fered.
And that God did not put the long
ing for such things in the human
breast for nothing!
And they will clasp them and cleave
unto them-and there will be more
marrying than ever.
And fewer. divorces, and fewer friv-
olous, butterfly wives, and fewer 10th
arios, and fewer vampires, and feweR
girl-chasers-and fewer eternal tri-
angles
But as for something to WRITE
about
There will always be dear, weak,
foolish, lovable old Human Nature
To lampoon, or harpoon, or laugh
at, or scold about
SO!-Don't worry!

Parkerite Captured in France.

Mrs. Jack O'Connor received a
letter from France last Sunday, from
which it would appear that her son,
Theodore O'Connor, who is with the
American expeditionary forces in
France as a structural builder, has
been captured, and the chances are
that he will never again return to
his native country. This letter, from

she sought and secured a transla-
lion of the same from c. E. Day, and
it was fQhnd, much to her relief, to

Paris, June 11.-All the advices
from the battle front show that the en-
emy is putting forth every possible
effort in his design to push toward
Paris, throwing division after division
into the melting pot So far he has
succeeded in two days of fighting, in
carrying forward his line at the maxi
mum point of advance, at Vignemont,
a distance of six miles. In this he has
been materially aided by a consider
able number of tanks which the
French artillery was at first unable to
demolish. -&
The enemy further succeeded in wild
ening the point of his wedge by bring
ing up two divisions of the guards and
two. bavarian divisions borrowed from
the army group of Crown Prince Rup-
precht. These troops captured the
Villages Of Merry, st. Maur and Belloy
giving him plateau behind which he
can mass troops partly screened from
observation. f.. -

is its progress. The German army as
