selfforgetfuness and the pride and glory of serv-
ice. must "turn the corner" toward smiles.
There is one supreme law of beauty and charm
every woman should learn by the time she is 10,
and remember every day thereafter: All men hate
tears and love smiles; there is no beauty in a
mouth which does not smile.
Mouth corners are like traffic policeman's
signal to men who have eyes and use them.
Lips that turn upward signal go aheadP'
Lips that turn downward signal Stop"
And lips that lie in a straight line might say
Take a chance, you may be able to turn the
corners" a
Wise men look to woman's mouth for more
than words and kisses
They look for the reflected light of the heart
smile
at is the color which love wears, and cheer
fitness, and joy-these three. 1t is the light in
the window of the face by which the heart signi-
fees to lover, husband son, brother, or friend that
it is at home, and waiting"

You ask me Love. if this were love?
A query that has come
Unaltered thro' the ageless DAYS
Unanswered in the sum-
AS bright, as vague, as rainbow rays
What shall tell thee Love, of love?
If this be not, what else were love?
Sadly you ask of me.
Shall we aspire to dree our weird
The hidden things to see
A secret that all Life has scared
Omphale knew-yet knew not love.
Fear not the stepping stone to love,
The Weakening desire
That stirs the Soul to seek its own
Born of its deathless fire;
Flaming before its only throne
On our dead selves climb we to Love
Love is the only answer, love,
High as the Stars-the Sky!
Let not Earths sadness hide the way
Love tho you know not why
Love-for today we die.

Keep Smiling!

Keeping up the corners is woman's job.
In times it is especially her job to keep
up the corners of her lips-in smilel
The eyes the windows of the soul; the lips
are the door plate of the disposition.
Lip corners that turn upward speak the eternal
Welcome" of frequent smile and happy heart.
Lip corners that turn downward whisper warn
ing, NO admittance. Beware the dog"
Wise young men seeking wife are the men
who give the lips of their lady loves good hard
look-before they kiss, or ask an answer to THE
question of love.
The time to look at a wonian's lips is when
she doesn't know you are looking Any woman's
lips will curve upward in smile when she is
conscious of inspection. The tell-tale corners
must be watched when the mouth is in reposs and
the thinks herself unobserved.
So The years that bring the girl to womanhood
have set in the corners of her lips the record of
her smiles and gentleness-or of her. frowns pouts
obstinacy, and melancholy. He who runs may
read the signs.
And now, in times, lips which always held
the sweet upward curve of smiles must guard it
carefully, lest the heartache and the sad thoughts
that follow absent lovers, sons, brothers, and
friends, shall erase the beauty and courage our
soldiers remember. And those whose fretful
thoughts have been recorded in downward curves
MUST start new record. and in the beauty Of
The Washington herald., 1918-05-27

The present German position is untenable. Two
ugly salients are thrust into the Anglo-French
Enes-one south of Ypres in Flanders and the 9TH
er between Arras and La Fere along the Somme
and Disc. They are salents which compromise
. the whole strategy of the German high command.
They must be wiped out, either by advance or by
retreat To try to maintain them would yield no
advantage and breed the ever-increasing danger of
effective counter attack by Foch.
D. For that reason it is the universal expectation
that Hindenburg will attack, probably about June
I; and it is also agreed by military experts that
the chances for decisive German success are very
materially less than they were in March, when the
enemy broke through the British Fifth Army south
of St. Quentin. Foch has expressed his confidence
as have Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Pershing
Every day of delay decreases the hope of the
enemy; and yesterday came news of a turn of the
weather along the front, making muddy roads and
Doggy fields; so that possibly the blow may be
postponed to later day in June. The general ex-
pectaton is that the German command will make
supreme "try" for the Channel ports. Here he
would be in a position to cut the Anglo-French
armies in the middle to their lines of COM
munication to force the British to bases
at Boulogne and other ports the west; and worst
of ALL redoube his fury in the prosecution of the
U-boat war, to cut into the transport of
American troops abroad
Needless to say, he is not going to reach the
Channel ports any than he is going to reach
Paris. He lost his chance of that in his decisive
rcpulse at KENNEL Hill.
Every day brings nearer the day when Foch
will be ready to make his heralded counter attack
and if the Germans do not hurry, they may find
that they have been forced upon the defensive and
TO abandon the attack which is still held up to the
Teuton civilian population the blow which will
end the war.
All signs point to the fact that great allied
offensive will begin in July, August or September
if not sooner; and in that great stroke the work of
the new American army, then million men or
more in force, will be written large

The New Draft Order.

Provost Marshal General Crowder's order bar
ring certain nonuseful occupations to men of the
draft age holding deferred classification loses
some OF its sternness in the reasonable time it
has given to employers to prepare themselves.
As the order does not go into effect for.
nearly FIVE weeks there will be some time to find
substitutes for registered between Fl and Al
years. Large powers of discretion will also be
given to the local boards.
Whatever hardships are effected we cannot get
away from the fact that the government needs the
services OF all of draft age in the army or in
productive labor.
The New York World says editorally on the
subject:
at cannot be pretended that the occupations to
which the order applies are of equal mpor-
lance with those of shpyard worker or muntion
worker. In the present emergency, somewhere the
line must be drawn with regard primarily for the
nations interests. A young bartender, club at
tendant domestic servant or clerk can be en-
ployed to better advantage in many ways. Fortu-
nately unlimited opportunities are open to him be-
cause of the extraordinary demand for labor.
( Upon the ldlers and loafers sympathy need be
wasted They must make an early choice and find
suitable berths enter the army.
The readjustment of business to war condi-
tons has been under way for year. 1t will be
continuous process long the lasts.
Everywhere there has been general shifting from
one occupation to another. To fill the gaps caused
by leaving civil life for military duty, large
numbers of women and younger and older men
have been recruited. The hotel keepers, who
seem be most disturbed over the Provost Mar
shall Generals order, must fall back upon their re-
serve and make the best of the situation. The
"combing- out" has just begun The number of
men affected is probably much smaller than is
commonly thought and in the natural order of

There Must Be Something In a Name.

McAdoo township, Barber County, Kansas, is
100 per cent American not only in words but in
action.
Every one of the I4o persons living in the
township able to work is growing food.
In the last liberty loan campaign the town
ship subscribed for 5000 of liberty loan bonds
or at the rate of $3.50 for every man. woman and
child in the township. If the bonds had been
subscribed for in the ratio to the population
all over the United States the total subscription
would have been something like $4,000 100000, or
more than fifteen times the amount asked for by
the government.
What a Jolt that would have been to Bill
Hohenzoern of Potsdam!
