EDITORIAL NOTES.

That Boston Greek who was teo busy to register is likely to find time hanging heavy on his hands.
 There can be TO question but what those seeking it are finding plenty of excitement in Russia at the present time.
 The man on the corner says; Some are born rich. some acquire wealth and others have it thrust upon them by brewers.
 The revolt against German control in Rumania simply shows that the contagion is spreading to all sections of the near east.
 September thus far has been doing very well and if it will only keep out of the company of Jack Frost no com plaint win be. offered.
 if as is now said civilization follows the auto. the establishment of a large motor car factory in Mexico ought to mean much to that country.
 The father of that rumor that the kaiser is crazy win not have to Insist upon it very strongly in order to find that he voices the sentiments Of most people.
 Another Belgian relief ship has been attacked by a German submarine. That was probably out of resentment for failing to accept Beriin's peace proposal. It has probably been noticed that General Pershing has not been saying anything about a special dinner soon in Metz but he may be figuring on it | nevertheless.
 It is not improbable that the pres ent drive which Is being made in Bull garia is going to have an important effect upon the political situation ia that country.
 General Feeh is determined that the Germans shall not be allowed to win ter where they want to, and General Foch has shown that he is able to &C., complish much. It is reported that the kaiser is building new railroad line across Belgium. He probably sees the need of increased facilities for getting his armies out of the clutches of Genera Inoch
 The Germans are inclined to givs the credit for allied, and particularly American, successes to the tanks. Let them ascribe it to what they please they are aware of the fact that they are going backward.
 What the kaiser really meant tt have told the Krupp employees wal that he had left no house standing no tree not uprooted, no hospital ol church undemeHshed in his effort ti terrorize innocent and defenselesi people.

sHIpBulLpINe RESULTS.

The report of the shipbuilding opera ations for the month of August makes 1t evident that not only are the agen- cies of the allies making it increas- ingly difficult for the carrying on of the submarine warfare, but the ship building organizations of the country are speeding up in the manner which they were expected to respond to the call for ships.
 We have not reached the day when the U-boats have ceased to be a men, nee for they are still sending to the bottom many vessels each month. but the time has come when the produc- tion of vessels in the United States has not only reached the point where q new ship is ready to take the place Of each one sunk but there has been ar excess production over the losses for the month of August of 1.3s0 tons, and during that period there were deliv- cred to the shipping board nearly twice as large tonnage as was turn d out in British yards.
 This showing cannot be regarded as
 he peak production for while there vas four times as large a tonnage made ready in August that there was in January it can be expected that this steady gain will etill be mani tested in the months to come. As ir other things we are not aecomplishina all that it was expected that we woul( n the way of new ships but we art making excellent progress to that end We are headed in the right direction the organization of the yards is on 3 far better basis than in the earlier months and if the supplies can bt maintained we promise to make b,s
 nroads into the net deficit Of shipping caused by the underwater boats. W, Ire moving in the right direction rap idly but there is still great need O. keeping everlastingiy and more deter, minedly at it,

WRIST SCORE PADS.

A convenient litt;e score pad for the golfer is attached to leather strap, which may be fastened around. the wrist.
 The score nad is worn. of course, on the left wrist and the golfer may jot down memoranda of his score as cas- fly as social memos are seraWled on starched cuffs-or used to be when starched cuffs were in fashion. The usefulness of the wrist has been sadly neglected in other years, when the bracelet and occasionally the fan were the only things it was expected to carry Wrist watches and golf scores now fall to it's share as part of the burden of life's impedlments, and very efficiently it meets it's new obli- gallons.

MUST CONTINUE TO SAVE.

Because it has been possible to le. up a bit in the restrictions on wheat -four it does not mean that the people of this country have not got to con- tinue to save in the future This ia plainly pointed cut by Food Adminis- trator Hoover who has just issued a national appeal for food saving.
 In support of this call for conser- vation. MT. Hoover states that the United States still has great responsi- bilities in taking care of the needs of its allies and the neutral nations in Europe and that in adding to the large amount of foodstuffs which were for warded last year it will be necessary to save five and three quarter million tons more this year for shipment across the Atlantic than was sent last year, and when it is figured that if each person saves a half pound q week out of the average amount of six pounds of foodstuffs individually consumed and 8 similar amount from the four pounds of meats and fats which 1t is figured each of Us are eat ing this large quantity of necessities will be secured, it can be appreciated that the task is not insurmountabla but that there is something for each one to do.
 We have found that where everyone places his shoulder to the wheel grea, things can be accomplished. The need of conservation is apparent and that being the case it should be promptly and enthusiastically met. Ii is just such saving at this which will hell 10 win the war, and if it can be done without making 1t necessary to have nneatless and wheatless days again tho people should be anxious to meet tn, situation with the. same patriotic sac. Elhee as others are making in othel ways. Everyone must continue to d, his part as faithfully and thorough, as in the past,

The stand, about the height of smoking stand, is of mahogany and is equipped with all the things needed in sewing and above is 8 softly shaded electric light bulb to throw light on the work. one is doing.

TEACHES NEATNESs.

To teach children neatness always have their clothes in good order and easily accessible, Stocking bags for each child, with different eolcred thread at top of each stocking, if children are near of an age, are a help.
 If limited for dresser drawers, use suit boxes for shirts, collars or even underwear. Lines drawn from hooks in closet give more hanging places. and even shoe boxes help keep order; 2 2;so basket for rubbers and rack for hats and coats.
 These little things will bring better results in neatness than constant scolding.

TO STRENGTHEN ANKLE

Weak ankles cannot be overcome ill short time. One must have pa- tience and stick to the exercise and hot and cold water system. Dip your feet first in as hot water as you can stand, then afterward plunge into cold water Do this several times End by gently massaging the ankles with pure alcohol and bind them up firmly at night, not overnight, but firmly. In the daytime you should wear good, stout, laced leather boots and under no consideration wear even for a day boots with the heels run down.

THE COASTAL CANAL SYSTEM,

It will not be surprising if the At
 lantic Deeper Waterways Association concentrates it's discussions upon the fanal systems of the coast at it's ses- sion to be held in Boston this week. This organization has always been ac- tive in advocating the bstterment of such inland waterways, and certainly with the submarine menace along our coast it is to be expected that it will be even more urgent in it's demands.
 Special attention will doubtless be given to the Cape Cod canal which has been taken over for the period of the war by the government. and which will now accommodate a certain amount Of shipping. It is necessary that it should be deepeneG in order

SOLID ALCOHOL.

Solid alcohol can be used for any cooking purposes for which liquid de- ratured alcohol is used. It's chief ad- vantage is that it does not spill and can therefort be more easily used at pienics, as well as on the tea table or in the nursery. It comes in small cans of different sizes.

LIQUOR RULING
Judge Holds Wet Goods May Be
Carried Through West Virginia.

Martinsburg, W. Va., May Judge
! NJ Woods, of the Circuit Court,
handed down far-reaching. decision
Yesterday relative to the West Viz
GINA liquor law, in the trial of A. +.
Triplett, of Rock Enon, Va, who was
arrested here several weeks ago on a
charge Of transporting liquor through
The State. Triplett purchased the
liquor in Maryland and was hauling it
in an automobile to Virginia. going
through Berkeley county when ar
rested.
Judge Woods held that Triplett had
not violated the West Virginia Pro-
hibition Law, inasmuch as the point az
which he secured the liquor and the
noint of destination were not within
the state. He held, in effect, that a
common carrier or individual might
transport liquor across West Virginia
territory so long as the trip did not
originate or end within the state.
Judge A. G. Dayton, of the Federal
Court. also. has ruled in the Reed Fed
aral amendment that common car-iI
riers. have this right in interstate!|
commerce without violating the Reed
amendment. The West Virginia state
aw permits an individual to. bring IN
ne quart of liquor a month unde.
certain conditions. The question in-H
,olved in the Triplett case is now!

/ London, May German airplanes
!have RECENTLY been attacking Dutch
fishing vessels with machine gun fire
wherever the little boats have been
found in the North Sea. Five Dutch
fishermen landed Saturday at Brit
ish port after narrowing experience.
They said their boat had been at
tackled by four German airmcn, who
for two hours rained machine gun bull
lets on their unarmcd ships. The crew
took to the boats and rowed 60 miles
before being picked up by a small
British vessel. Their ship was later
brought into harbor by a British de-
stroyer, and bore numerous signs of
the enemy fire.
