SPONTANEITIES

We were sitting in the lobby of the
hotel exchanging ideas on matters
general. The conversation drifted to
a discussion of the awful expense Of
maintaining the up-keep of an auto
mobile and the drugstore methods OF
charging by the garage men. He was
a stranger: he hadn't said word dur
ing the evening. Our garage talk
seemed to interest him and he came
to life as follows: "Ae drive mae
auto into garage bae Neville an gar

dollars
We were discussing the "InAuenza
Hispanola' and Casper Winkler stat
ed that he wished it would rain for a
solid week and then freeze hard; that
would assist in ending the present
epidemic. "Oh, 1 don't know" said
Bloom" there was a fellow in here
yesterday who said that would be the
very worst thing that could happen,
that we need dry weather for this
disease, the dryer the better Gee,
and we are running the street sprink-

 held my breath waiting to see how Harry Underwood would extri- cate me from the doubtful situation. Curously enough, for all my fear and dislike of the man, I was sure that he would be able to do the thing he'd promised. There is an atm osphere of strength and security about him when he chooses to let it show through the m ockins fam boyant mask he usually wears.
 When, after we were seated and the waitress had departed with Dicky's order, and the one for more coffee of which MT. Underwood had spoken. he fulfilled his promise implied by his favorite phrase, Trust your Uncle Dudley I gasped with relief at the absolute simplicity of his explanation

SIDE TALKS
Active and Pass i've Frankness
RY Rx,xN CAMERON

Is frankness a virtue or a vice?
 We were discussing that perennial question the other day anent of a woman who brides herself on being perfectly frank. and someone made what l considered an excellent dis tinction.
 "It depends" she said. "on whether it is active or passive frankness
 Then she went on to say that by passive frankness she meant the kind which stands ready when asked, to tell a friend what it thinks is the truth: while by active frankness sh e meant the kind of franl1ness w1ich goes bout unasked .telling friends 'tt it manages to retain any) what it is perfectly sure is tho truth.
 Which of these is the vice and which the virtue it is surely not necessary to say. She Prides Herself on Being Perfectly
 Frank.
 We have all known people who are actively frank. The subject of our conversation who brides her self on being perfectly frank is one of them of course. That sentence belongs ina.lienably to active frank ness. The person who is passively frank does not usuaHy pride herself,
 1T think it IS my duty" is am other phrase that belongs to active frankne ess. People who go about tell ing their neigh hbors just where they are ma king tn cir mistakes alm ost al- ways do so from a sense of duty. Charity has nothing on duty when it comes to covering up certain kind of sin.
 Why Do We Love to Criticisc.
 There IS some peculiar twist in the human makeup which makes the act of criticiine others very gra tify- ing. Presumably it is because the sense of other peoples fal]ihlhues and inadequacies enhances the ap- breciation of ones own perfection, for the average human being. If It were not for the duty of frankness, however we should only be able to do this behind the subjects backs But frankness gives us a license to carry our criticisms straight to head quarters and observe the effect Of them on the victims.

NEW VAUDEVILLE
 AT THE LYCEUM

With every one of the three acts 3olnS over to great applause and the motion picture feature proving one of the best of the light variety that has Teen shown in several months. the new bill at the Lyceum yesterday scored an instantaneous hit. From start to end there is not slack in quality. and each number IS served up with quality just bubbling out all ever. The bill can be easily said to be one of the best since vaudeville bookings commenced at the theater and fulfilled the high expectation held out.

Frankness Thriyes in the Bosom of
 the Family.
 The bosom of the family is the place in which the active sort Of rankness thrives peculiarly well, Many people who would not think of being actively frank with their friends always practice it with their relatives. Which is perhaps one req son for the familiar phrase. God gave Us our relatives, thank God VIC can choose our friends"
 Needless to say passive frankness is much rarcr than active. Being frank for other peoples benefit and not for your pleasure is quite an other thing. Look through your own acquaintance How many people are there in it who mover offer gratuitous criticisms and yet to whom you can go and ask for a sincere opinion. for honest advice. and be sure you will get 8. response absolutely uncolorcu by prejudice or by what they think you want them to say?
 Not many. l am sure.

He does so, thinking he has joined socialist party. He is introduced to von Bier man, the master spy of the German agents. Then the National draft board meets and draws the now his

 OTIS the men holding that number. The
 younger brother-Geo rge-draws the

 Mary takes his papers herself and

Finally, through his sisters persuasion. George reports and is ir1ducted into the service.

Production this year has been sadly

''There has been almost no fruit.
Vegetables are few. Cereals are poor
Potato crops, on which we based our
hopes last year, are so per cent less

"Only the wheat crops have given
any satisfaction at all. There has
