lin 1907 two Detroit autOmobil.
companies filed articles Of .associa-
ton and designed medium priced
models. When they were put on
sale there was very little differ
ence in the details Of construction
and their appearance was about
the same.
They mad really been designed
by the same engineer. He was or
iginally employed b. one Of the
concerns, but went to work for the
other after completing most Of the
iayouts, and on joining the second
company he found positions for
some Of the technical staff who
had worked for him on his forme::'
job.
Result: two cars at about the
same price, equally good-lool1ing
and equally well constructed.
One Of the companies is going
strong yet and the other failed IN
year and half. The second
companys car never caught on
with the public.
The president Of the first concern
was an advertising expert Of ma
tional reputation, who had GOT into
the automobile game because he
saw :eoney in it. He hardly knew
a jackshaft from fishing-p pole,
and had made his name by pushing

same position that citizens Of ever
y other country occupies when his
country is spending more than its
income. Wars are the most 'ex-
pensive things in the world, but
they have been going on from time
immemorial and the people have
always had to pay the piper.
This war being the greatest in
history has also been the most cost
ly, and. for America, has started
her on her national debt for the
a. J. timesince the republic was
formed.
Bonds are taking care Of part
Of the war cost, but this is a ma

given little thought to how light
they are as compared with our al
lies. We pay thirty dollars in

as the Englishman has to pay 1910

ge in America is $39,O95 against

WELLESLEY DRAFTS
FARM HANDS

Wellesley college is drafting farm
labor for next summer. And one of
the first students to be drafted is
Miss Katherine Hughes, daughter of
Charles E. Hughes. Fifteen girls are
to serve at a time, twelve to work in
the fields and three to keep house.
Each draft will serve a month. A
member of the college faculty will
act as foreman.
Last year students at Vassar col
lege did much the same thing, except
that the farm was worked by volun-
teers Wellesley seems to have sub
mitted the matter of draft to the
whole student body, which agreed up.

choosing the laborers.
Although the big women's colleges

alone in their farm work. Almost ey-

promised to give fifteen minutes a day
to helping father or mother with
wedding and sprinkling the backyard

Keeping the world in food.
And 1t is right that the movement
should be led and given so strong an
impetus by the schools. If learning
means anything it should mean learn

life come easily, the schools should
lead in matters Of art, music, social

taking their proper place by leading

ARE YOU WEARING COLORS?
They Should Be Used as an Emblem.
Not as a Dress Accessory,
Declares Writer

Every patriotic woman ought to
wear the red, white and blue as u
sign of her patriotism. But she ought
to wear the flag as an emblem and a
badge and not as dress adjunct, de-
clares writer in the New York Sun.
Smartly dressed women everywhere
have been among the first to adopt
the custom of wearing a small gold
enameled or ribbon flag on the coat
lapel. Among women of official so.
ciety in Washington there is hardly
one woman who does not wear the
tiny flag.
So highly do they regard the use
OF the colors, in fact, that among
women who know what is correct it
is even customary to wear the tiny
flag when in the deepest mourning.
And in Washington one frequently
sees a woman in her first widows
weeds wearing the small flag on the
lapel of her coat.
The small enameled pins are per-
faps the neatest of these badges. If
the tiny silk flags are used instead
they should not be pierced by the pin
that holds them in place. A tiny bit
OF silk should be attached to the back
END of the flag and this should be
pierced with the pin.
The most popular badge of all Is
the tiny bow of red, white and blue
ribbon, and as this is not the actual
emblem there is no offense in tying it
o" in piercing it with pin.
