 But this woman was not of this class. And I have heard others of her kind make similar boasts It Is Much Harder to Have a Con-
 science About This.
 It seems somehow harder to have a. conscience in this sort of thing than in anything else. And so think the women who do have It. de- serve higher credit. I know a very quiet little woman whose opportuni- ties for doing good are not so large as the big heart of her. I have al- ways admired her but my admira- ton scared star high when one day she said very quietly and modestly. T try never to buy any garment that hasn't the Consumers League label on it As her income is fairly linn tied that probably means that she buys fewer garments.
 It is harder to keep true to rather abstract principles than 1t is to alle- viate cases of suffering that come to ones attention and touch ones heart.
 It is indeed right and fine to share one's extra loaf but do not forget the trenchant reminder:
 Better far that thou shouldest have no extra loaf and thy neigh bor no need"

SIDE TALKS
Queer Boasts
BY RUTH uAArE.RoH

What queer things people boast Of sometimes
 A woman who brides herself on the charitable and philanthropic work she does was telling me about a suit she had had made
 Tt was done by a tailor" she ex- plained, who hadn't been long over here and what do you think he charged me, only two dollars. And he will make a cotton skirt for even here a year or two he'll know bet ter. but I was lucky enough to catch him at the right moment. Can't You Imagine What His Life
 Is Like.
 From that bit of description can't you pretty well synthesize the tailor and his life? Just over few months, got to have trade or starve, willing to work for any wage that keeps him and perhaps a family, barely alive.
 Is it the part of philanthropy to take advantage of such mans ne" cessity, and then boast about it?
 Of course there are certain cases where one accepts an inferior grade of work or puts up with some dis" advantage such as delays and uncer- tainty, and I think, in return, one has right to pay less for the labor.
 These People Can't Be Blamed.
 And then there are @ great many people in the world who are them selves so crowded against the wall by rising prices and growing fami- lies and stationary salaries that they

SIRENS OF THE SEA
 FOX'S ATTRACTION

Positively unrivalled in it's alluring beauty and enchanting originality is Sirens of the Sea-" which opened st FoX's last night, and will feature tonight for the last time. Beautiful beyond words in it's daring revelations of feminine perfection and charm of its sea and grotto settings on the shores of Santa Catalina, it will never be surpassed in our day. Such was the unanimous verdict of the hun dreds who saw it last night. and such will be the opinion of all who are fortunate enough to view it today
 Produced with consummate art, re- gardless of expense, with one thou sand people constantly employed in it's six months making, and with two famous stars nationally known for their beauty, it will live long in the history of motion picture artistry. Carmel Myers and Louise Lovely are the particular stars of the production but there are scores of other beauties who are almost as worthy of gener- ous praise and compliment as they. The story has to do with a wealthy young man of today, who, idly cruis- ing in his yacht over the summer seas. sights a magic isle where girlish sirens, clad in seaweed lure him on the adventure. Pursuing the most beautiful of the sirens. he finds her to be the founding daughter of the millionaire of the isle. Soon jealousy develops, then tragedy, then a search for the lost siren through the grottos of the sea, made surpassingly al- turing by the fascinating diving nymphs and the water scenes of in

iarmy-"Ths Long. Long Trail"
This song was written more than
year before we 60, into the war
and didn't attract any more atten-
ton a, the time than . 10, OF other
songs. But now it is coming into
its own. Twenty years from now it
will be remembered as the heart
song of the big war. For its type OF
song it is just as strong with the
soldier as Over There" is for its
type II embodies the spirit OF the
day-the boy going away on his no.
bic mission, later to come home per-
haps 10 his wife and swcetheart-as
no other present day song does.
The soldiers love every word OF its
verse and every bar of its music.
within the breakwater Of the French
port, a seaplane came swooping in
from the sea. Four red bombs are
tucked side by side under its right
hand wing, but three OF the four are
missing from the rack on the other
side. The captain OF the troop ship
notes this through his glasses and
remarks upon the fac. to the Amer
lean colonel standing by his side.
They speculate for a few moments
as TO wha, use may have been made
OF the missing bombs.
"Perhaps it was the same sub
marine that laid that mine" sug-
gested the captain.

Sing at Boxing Shows.
The bunch that puts the most into
its singing is the crowd at big
boxing tournament in camp. The
men are all keyed up by the excite
inent OF the occasion and. when you
lead them from the ring you don,
have to beg them. A boxing crowd
generally wants, Were Going to
Get the Kaiser" first. but bit later
they always call for THE Long
long Trail"
That's the real heart song OF the
body OF a patrol arship. which. with
the destroyers will accompany the
Americans TO their destination. No
submarine can creep alono the sea
bottom without these aerial OBJ
servers tetecting its approach, and
a wireless call to the eager destroy
RS will bring about its destruction
or speedy withdrawal. The Ger
mans have long since learned the
dangers OF these narrow seas. and
now very seldom do they venture
within them.
The white cliffs OF England grow
dim in the distance. and out of the
other horizon looms the shores OF
France. The transports steam on-
ward; the escort lazily keeps pace
with them.
Sighting the Mines.
A sudden signal from the leading
destroyer causes an instantaneous
change in the whole convoy. The
leading destroyer has come TO a
dead stop right athwar, the course
OF the troop-ships. The speed of
the transports drop. The word
"inine" goes round from mouth to
mouth and ever, body on board
rushes to the side 10 see.
A mine IL is sure enough. As the
transports draw near it can be seen
floating scarce cables length from
the destroyer's quarter. Only a
small patch OF its rounded bulk
shows above the surface. But the
small patch is grit with the deadly
horns, a touch of which fires the
charge of explosives.
As the transports move on at
quarter speed, one destroyer fingers
behind. 1t moves a safe distance
away from the floating mine. Then
comes the rattle OF its machine gun.
The gunner is firing at the mine.
Suddenly there comes squirt OF
fame and smoke. drowned immedi-
ately by a huge spout OF seething
water as the mine explodes. The
destroyer resumes its place at the
head of the column.

The airship drifts back to give the

leader the convoy resumes full speed

passage is completed.

Fleet Of Barges Go Onto River

and three steel barges. the first Of
the governments feet OF thirty
barges with which traffic will be re-
stored on the lower Mississippi,
will leave East St. Louis today on
the maiden trip for New Orleans.
The freight handled on the three
barges Is about equal to that Of $50
freight cars. Each week additional
barges will be added until the thirty
are in operation. according to Theo-
dore Brent, traffic manager Of the
Mississippi and Warrior waterways
section of the railroad administra-
ton.
Departure OF barges from St.
Louis has been delayed until the
first unit of the municipal dock here
can be completed. Docking facil-
tiles along the river between St.
Louis and New Orleans are being
rapidly extended. Memphis will be
the principal point between St.
Louis and New Orleans. but Cairo,
ILL.,. Greenville, Miss, and Arkansas
towns also will have new docks.
Expects to Lose Money.
Brent told St. Louis shippers that
the government expected to lose
money on the projec, =, the start
owing to the necessity of having in
adequate and Anticipated equip
ment. He declared. however If
shippers would furnish capacity
loads the government soon would

nation has already come from
Washington that engineers have
completed plans for modern equip
ment and are now ready for bids.
The maximum carrying capacity
Of the barges to be used now is 900
tons. Brent explained that it is
just ~ cheap to tow barges OF
5000 tons as those OF 500 tons.
The type Of tow boat provided
under the new plans Is wha, is
known ~ tunnel steamer. being
entirely different from both the
side-wheeler and stern wheel boats,
INV % LdtnilidG Ou tNC IlVSI
This style of boat was designed by
foreign engineers for the Nile and
Euphrates rivers. All the new tug
boats will be oil burners, requiring
less labor in operation than coal
burning tug boats. Enough oil can
be loaded al St. Louis to make the
complete trip to New Orleans and
return.
Barge Line to Fellow.
As soon as dredging is completed
at the Louisiana salt mines. there
will be considerable freight for the
line, but at present salt, sand and
gravel rates do not warrant ship
ing by rail 10 the river. Lumber
will be handled in barge load lots.
The opening OF the line today will
be followed in few weeks by the
opening OF the St. Louis Chicago
barge line. Plans for through ship
ments from Chicago to New Or
leans are now being worked out, the
plan calling for the interchange OF
barges here TO eliminate reloading.
