False Economy.

Some people begrudge the expendi-
ture of money to beautify the home or
to bring the comforting message Of
friendship In time Of trouble. To them
lowers are Of no use, pictures and
music a waste Of money. But life
restricted to things that go into the
pot or are worn on the back results in
starving the spirit. "If I had two
loaves Of bread would sell one Of
them to buy white hyacInths to feed
my SOUL" That was the terse and
poetic statement of a truth oft neg
.ected.
Even the poor need other things
more than they need money. The
money will be gone next month. but
the memory of great bunch Of wild
lowers remain. Flower missions fur
dish a beautiful ministry that almost
any Sunday school class can exercise.
Send your posIes to the hospitals or to
the children Of the slums.-The Chris
tian Herald.

APPEAsINe A HINDU DEMON
Blood Sacrifices Are stu Deemed Al.
soiutsiy Necessary In Some
Parts OF india.

They arrived at the place Of worship.
Ankamma was rudely carved stone
In rough shrine built Of mud and
stones. People were coming from all
sides. Presently the tom-toms were
heard. and n turbulent throng appeared
bringing buffalos. goats, sheep and
chickens. writes w. T. Gilmore, In
World Outlook.
"Get as near to the image as you
can" said Sadhu.
Fred obeyed. A buffalo with gar
land around Its neck was being pushed
to the front. The crowd packed in be-
hind. and Fred found himself uncom-
tortably near the buffalo. A tall, gaunt
nan, all but naked, stepped forward
With clumsy sword. The priest per-
formed ceremonies over 1t. The crowd
was getting excited. Men were pulling
he terrified buffalo before and behind.
Suddenly the headsman swung the
sword. and brought 1t down on the
neck of the animal. A groan went up
from the crowd. The head had not
been severed and the sacrifice might
not be acceptable. Again he swung 1t.
Fred shut his eyes, but frenzied yells
made him open them. The head had
fallen. Immediately 1t was placed be
fore the image. The front legs were
cut of at the knees and placed cross
wise In the mouth. The body Of the
buffalo was opened and some of its
fat sprend over Its eyes and light
on the head was fed with the fat from
the body.
The great sacrifice, made, votive Of
ferings were brought. Poor, care-worn
villagers brought sheep or CONT, or
even chicken. A whole village would
offer buffalo. Blood flowed in
streams. The men were drenched. The
tom-toms were deafening. Fred re-
covered his nerve and studied the peo-
pie. Those handling the offerings
seemed frenzied, but many Of the 9TH

Building Wooden Ship. Again.


The present unusual shipping condi-
lions have resulted In the return Of
the wooden ship to prominence in the
merchant marine. Wooden ships can
be built in q small fraction Of the
time required for building steel or
iron ship. They are not 40 expensive.
and not 30 much skilled labor Ii re-
quired In the construction. Az re-
suit Of the demand for ships In a
hurry more wooden ships have been
contracted for and are under construc-
tion In America today than for
the last 30 years. Slxty-eight wooden
ships are being built now on the Pa

six are under construction In Can
ada and The Canadian government has
guaranteed return Of IL per cent

builders Of wooden ships in the do

You need all your muscle, for you've

And keep crushing and smashing.
Don't let up your striking
Till things meet your liking.
For Gods sake, stop bawling-
Instead, do some mauling.
It makes the world bitter
To look at gutter;

A grOwu-up on his knees.
A man with his health

Full of un.xplored lOdes.

tina. hi. mind has changed about the
same way.
There is little question among well
informed men that the nation Is
ready for the final act of enfran-
ehisement. II the senate passes the
suffrage amendment to the consti-
tuition. which has already passed the
house, it will not take long to OBJ
tain the requisite ratification by
three-fourths Of the states. Some
few states may hold out at first, but
they will soon yield to the newt
able.
The war has changed everything.
Or rather, the war has hastcned ev-
erything in the way of social and
political evolution. 1t has given the
women of the United States a
chance to prove their fitness for the
franchise. They have proved it be-
yond cavil, by public service and de-
votion for which men cannot help
paving them homage.
1t would be strange indeed if, aft
er all the sacrifices that women have
made and arc making for the tri-
umph of democracy on world
scale, they should be denied the
equal rights without which real
democracy, here or anywhere, is i'm
possible.

THE DENATURALIZED
CITIZEN.

1t has come al last. The govern
ment has found 4 way to unnatural
ize the naturalized citizen. The
Ardmoreite, in common with many
of the students OF affairs, has long
puzzled over just what sort of ac-
ton should be taken in the case OF
citizens of foreign birth who have
been properly naturalized, but who
have never in spirit become real cit
izens Of this country, and has now
discovered that out in the state OF
Washington they have found way
to deal with this sort of monster;
and that now a precedent has been
set, the plan is likely to be adopted
generally.
Carl Swelgin of Seattle, born in
Germany, came to this country ~
years ago and in 1913 became nat
uralized citizen. Recently it be-
came apparent that he was thor
oughly disloyai and that he was a
dangerous character. A short time
ago the government brought suit to
revoke his naturalization papers,
and now this decree has been hand
ed down and the man will be in
termed as an enemy alien.
1t was shown to the courts salts
faction that wher the man Swore al
legiance to the United States he had
no real belief in the governmental
institutions and no sympathy with
the provisions of the constitution:
This is the fret case on record of
the intcrnment of a denaturalized
citizen and it will undoubtedly be
followed by others.
The Department OF Justice has
been ms. .ructed TO be especially
watchful in the case of naturalized
citizens, and United States attor
neys have been instructed to act
promptly in all cases of disloyalty.

THE SAILORS BOYCOTT.

There has been much talk of an
economic boycott against Germany
after the war directed by allied gov
ernments or b. the business inter-
ests ot allied nations. 1t is still
doubtful whether any official action
will be taken to thia end. From
present indications. however, il may
not be necessary. If boycott seems
desirable, the sailors may take care
Of it.
In fact, the sailors are preparing
to enforce practical, effectual boy
colt against German goods quite re-
gardless of wha. their own COVER
ments ard fellow-countrymen feel
about il.
The British Seamen's Union, a
powerful body with some hundreds
of thousands Of members, has al
ready in operation a program which
constitutes a powerful menace to
German trade. 1t is inspired by the
atrocities committed against British
seamen by the German navy. Orig
inaliy, it provided for a two-year
ban on German goods, with a clause
automatically extending the time a
certain number of weeks for every
subsequent at.ccity. AS the Ger
mans ignored the threat and kept
night on killing British seamen CON
trary 10 law ard humanity. the pc
rod has already grown TO more than
FIVE years. 1t may be ten years BY
the time the war ends.
In ali that time every British
sailor will remain pledged not to
work with German sailors. not to
handle any German merchandise in
any form, any~ here, and not to
patronize merchants who deal in
German goods.
Now the French Sailors Union.
with 10000 mcr. has pledged itself
to the same policy. The movement
seems likely TO extend to the Amer
lean ana Italian seamen.
A greater obstacle against the re-
vival of German trade can hardly
be imagined. The U-boats lately
have shown a somewhat less afro
cious disposition. III they return TO
humane and legal practices. ,he
worlds decen. sailors viii be largely
responsible.
