Mrs. Jarr trod grandly on past a
waiting taxi without deigning to re-
ply and took her position at the COR
ner of the avenue awaiting a down
town car. Mr.. Jarr followed over and
helped her on the car meekly. when

There were many in the car. A

"All the young men are going off to

Mrs. Jarr made no reply.
Yes" Mr.. Jarr went on. while
one couldn't say that they are all old
or even middle-aged people on this
car, yet every pair is married pair
Mrs Jarr did not even glance
around to see if this appeared to be
true or not.
I'D bet ten dollars there isn't even
an engaged couple. They are all mar

What makes you think that?"
asked Mrs. Jarr. her curiosity getting
the better of her hauteur.
Because. if you'll just look you'll

WELCOME, COMENIUs.

A new nation has been born.
The Czecho-S lovaks, believing that
all governments derive all their just
power from the consent of the governed
have decreed that, as their nation
elected the Hapsburgs to the throne
OF Bohemia Of Its own free will, it has
the same right and power to depose
them. Not bad line of reasoning
The declaration Of independence OF
the Czecho-Slovaks is remarkable
document and one which will rank in
Importance with the American declar-
alton of independence, after which 1t
seems to have been modelled. The
salient points in the document are:

press and the right Of assembly and

To the Chairmen of the State Divis-

To the Chairmen of the State Divis-
ions of the Womans Committee:
The suggestion of the field division
of the council of national defense set
forth in its letter of October 3. that
a policy of joint action be adopted by
the state divisions and the state coun-
ellis of derense wherever possible, and
that amalgamation of the work OF
women with that of men shall be the
ultimate end of every state. has al
ready given rise to questions as TO the
desirability of retaining in the state
divisions of the woman's committee
those departments of work under
which these divisions have been con-
Quoting their activities.
The merging of the council of ma
tional defense work of men and wom-
en- in the state should. of course, he
carried on in such a way as to provide
for the continuance of the work which
the several departments in the state
divisions of the wommn's committee
have been performing and to provide
for the fullest utilization of the eX-
listing personnel and machinery which
these divisions and their departments
have established. Hence, no depart
ment of work should be dropped be-
cause of reorganization unless ade-
quate provision is made Tor the per-
Torrance of its work and for the
fullest utilization of its machinery as
far as it has proved effective.
In this connection we wish to call
to your attention the fact that Mrs.
Moore's letter of September 20 to the
state chairman of the department of
maintenance of existing social service
agencies, was not intended to be con-
strued as a recommendation that this
department be abolished in the state
division. 1t is doing or could do val

The formation of the Czecho-Slovak
republic. which has been christened
Comenius, marks the beginning of the
end of Austria Hungary. The disin-
Iteration process has set in. The new
republic includes the states of Bo-
hemia Silesia, Moravia and Galicia,
along the northern edge of the dual
monarchy. With Hungary clamoring
for a separate government and her
secession from the dual alliance al
most certainty, 1t is obvious that ere
many weeks the map of Austria Hun
gary will have to be revised.
Comenius, after whom the new re-
public was named, was born in 1892
and died in 1871. He was an educa-
tional reformer. In 1916 he received
an appointment as teacher in Fulnek,
on the plumber of which by the Span
iards after the battle of Prague, in
1920, he lost all that he possessed, in
Guiding his books and manuscripts.
He then went to Poland, where. in
1882, he was elected bishop of the
Moraviap and Bohemian Brethren in
LISA. In the latter part of his life
he gave himself up to religious dreams
after the fashion of that time.
Welcome to Comenius, the latest
star in the constellation of nations.

WALTON AND RICHARDSON.

Many people We're dissatisfied with
President Wilson's first reply to Ger.
many's peace proposal, because il
opened the way, apparently for a dis
tussion which, could get nowhere, ex-
cept TO favor Germany.
The second note, while not in the
brusque LANGUAGE OF the military
chief,ain, made it plain that Germany
ran gain no cessation OF hostilities ex-
cept by surrender
SO far as the senate is concerned,
the country fully endorses the resolu-
non by Senator Lodge, republican
leader.
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
the senate that there should be no
further communication with the Ger
man government upon the subject of
an alTnistice or conditions OF peace
eErep1 a demand for unconditional
surrender
Lest we forget" the rankness of
GermBnys offenses 1t is also well to
1saa the following from a speech by
senBtUr New # Indiana
Tor four years Germany has run
sWnrk among nations She has
wrought the greatest havoc the world
has eTfT seen In that time she has
dssolz7e6 Belgium, devastated France.
strangled Serbia, wrecked Poland and
made shambles of Russia She has
violated the most sacred rights of the
United States by destroying women
and children on the high seas and fin
ally forced us to take up arms in the
dAfense of the most sacred of human
rights"
What the president meant when he
sent the reply to DR.. Solf was "uncon-
ditional surrender" but that Is not
what Hitchcock, head of the senate
foreign relations committee; simmons,
head of the finance committee; Gore,
who by reason of seniority is on sew
eral important senate committees and
Kitchin, who is floor leader Of the
lower house, mean. ..
The men who are appealing for the
hyphen votes, on the ground that the
democrats would be more lenient to-
ward Germany than the republicans,
are not standing by the president.
Nor are those democrats staining by
the president who are insidiously tell
ing the American people that the war
is won and now is the time to get
Germany's friendship in order that
we may have monopoly of German
trade.
The election of Fall and Hernandez
would bring no joy to Berlin.
But can the same be said If Walton,
who never raised his voice against the
continued leadership of Kitchn,
should be elected to the senate by the
voters of New Mexico?
How much grief would come TO
Berlin II Judge Granville A. Richard
son should be elected?
Let it be remembered that Richard
son, after we had entered the war,
said, in introducing Major Bujac to a
great audience in Roswell, that he was
in favor. after this war shall end, of
America turning her guns on Eng
land.
ENGLAND is to be attacked by our
army and navy If Richardson has his
way, when we have ended with Ger
many. E~
Let the voters of New Mexico un-
derstand that congress, of which
Richardson aspires to become a men,
Der, has the sole power to declare
war.

BETTER Than pills.

The question has been asked, IN
what way are Chamberlain's Iaeiets
superior to pills? Our answer IS
They are easier and more pleasant to
take. more gentle and mild in their
action and more reliable. Then they
cleanse ana inyigorate the stomach
and leave the bowels in q natural
condition. while pills are more harsh

gross profit which the retail dealers
In their jurisdiction may add to the
cost of their coal. In actual practice
it is impossible to have a fixed maxi
mum price for retailers, owing to the
fact that coal coming from. different
districts under varying conditions car
ries different prices. Freight rates
also vary. Consequently, the retail
er's margin of profit is fixed, and this
margin is added to the cost of the coal
delivered at the dealers yard.
Had it not been for the fuel ad-
ministration some localities and some
persons would have had all the coal
they needed, while other sections and
people would have had less or none.
Prices would have been kited out OF
the reach of the ordinary person, and
the government would have been at
the mercy of the operators and min
ers, each fighting the other, for it's
supply essential for war purposes.

Stamps have been removed from

At the cost Of small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
