HoHering 'Nough.

I'VE regard this war as senseless and purpose
less bloodshed which might at any moment be end
ed by the re-emergence of feelings of humanity ir
enemies" says Baron Burain, Austro Hungarian
foreign minister.
Yes, baron, understand your feelings. We
have met you before. Oh. long ago met you
in the days of our boyhood. You were the towr
bully big for your age, rough of speech, and with
wad of eatn' tobacker in your cheek. Youl
greatest delight was in picking fights with smaller
boys and jeering at them in their bloodynosedness
But day you set upon a slim, red-hared kid
who wasn't particle afraid to carry the fight to
you and very soon you realized that you were in
for sure-enough licking. "Say, kid" said you
what fghtin' for anyhow? You know I alway.
liked you Let's be friends"
"If you can't holler 'nough any palmer than
that" retorted the redhaired kid, you got to take
your lickin."
Baron, your diplomatic language is readily I'M
derstandable but it won't do. If you cannot "holer
'noughp any palmer than that to the champions oi
decency and civilization, you have got to "take
your licking"

Common Sense Cures JeaIousy.

Newspaper women are everlastingly devising
new answers to the following old question, says
Winona Wilcox in writing for The Washington
Herald: 1.'F.
"My husband is business man with an
Office down town. He employs stenographer,
to whom he is very much attached. l have
tried to break him from paying this girl so
much attention but have failed The affair is
wrecking my health. Would you advise me to
bring It to an end by forceh-MISERABLE
WIFE"
It is customary to comfort the wife who gets
into this frame of mind by telling her)tthat her
trouble is doubtless imaginary. And in most in
stances it is.
Any observant business woman can assure a
Jealous wife that the average girl who works down
town does not pose at one corner of domestic
triangle If she can help il. She hopes to marry
some day. to be a wife herself, and she cannot
afford to sacrifice single chance by letting
married man make love to her.
Business girls like society girls, have a keen
sense of the relative value of regular marriage and
irregular romance. Once in a while, of course the
romantic attachment commonly depicted in the
movies occurs in real life Then, if the man is
of average goodness and if it is his first adventure
ae is probably quite sincere in il. David Graham
Phillips uses such a in his famous story
Old Wives for New"
When such an attachment exists the wfe'a

N. Y. PLANS BIG GAIN IN
TERMINAL FACILITIES
improvements in Handling Bunker
Coal and Ice Submitted TO
McAdoo by Mayor

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.--ExtcnsiNc
plans for increasing the terminal facill-
ties of New York were laid before Sec
rotary McAdoo by Mayor IIylan and
Murray Hubert. commissioner OF docks.
Among tho improvements contemplated
Is tho establishment Of n direct coal
bunkering system for ships and IA broad
cuing OF the facilities for handling In
bound shipments of natural ice. The
Now York men advocate tho building OF
much larger docks for the exclusive use
of coal bunkcrlng. Commissioner HUI
bert said that by increasing the coal
handling facilities 40 per cent Of the
present delay could be avoided in load
ing ships.
Secretary Mchdoo was urged also to
Investigate the possibilities available Tor
transportation In the New York state
barge canal. Mayor liylan declared that
by rc-arranging the control of the barge
canal much OF the natural Ice which nee
essariy will have to be shipped into
New York the coming summer could bc
transported by way of the canal. rms
he said, would serve the purpose OF re-
licving congestion at the Staten Island
dock 10 a large degree. inasmuch as the
barge canal dock would handle all
freight coming that way.
