New York. Sept 9O.-Czars Of no.
tCls, apartment houses and boarding
houses. the police and the doE-cstch-

it more difficult each day for New

everybody Is trying to become the
sole possessor Of a canine. Tell New
Workers they cannot have anything
and they will get it-even if il is an

These fall days Fifth avenue is
cluttered with dogs of every descrip-
ton. Dogs on silver and gold bead
leashes: dogs with rain coats. hi
zarre blankets. jeweI-studded collars
and there are n few plain NUTS to
make it interesting. There are dogs
OF the ploddor. dOer. mental-motive
and mcntal-vital types.
Perhaps the most popular Of all
this year is the Airedale. Despite
the fact that this dog is said to be
the most perfect cur. it grows in pop
ular favor. Now and then a Broad

THE BIG SUNDAY DINNER.
BY the REV. CHARLES STELZLE.

This is a good thing to remember in
these days OF temperance agitation

eaten by one who has already been
overfed.
It is just as possible TO waste food
stuffs by putting them into our stom-
achs IS it is to waste them by con-
verting them into booze"
a man who over-indUlGes in food
doesn't usually make as bad an I'M
preston upon the public as one who
over-irduIges in LIQUOR, but he may he
just as Incorporate at heart and in
his appetite as the man who reels
along the street And it is a ques-
tion as TO who is doing the most
harm
Most OF us are more Incorporate on
Sundays thar We are other days, IN
food consumption. Sunday is sup
pcsed to he the day when the mind
and the body is 10 be rested-recreat-
cd. in preparation for the next weeks
work
But the way some OF US load up on
food on Sunday is enough TO put US
out Of commission for the rest OF the
week
We tackle a big Sunday dinner, TIE
preparation Of which has kept III.

and which will keep them busy wash

Many OF us spoil the day in this
way not only for ourselves. but for
our families. who have a right to ex-
pect something more Of 'rs on Sunday
the only day that VIC are around the
house to take part in family affairs
and to make .he home more like what
it should be.
What about cutting out the big Sun
day dinner? Let's have mercy on our
wives and daughters who get the
meals ready for US. as well as upon
our own physical systems which we
are overlooking because we eat too
much.
Try it out for a while and see

JOBS AND POSITIONS.
By RICHARD sPILLANE.

What has become of the earnest
young person who wanted a job and
was content to keep pegging away
for year or two in order to learn
a business?
There was a time when a young
person was happy to get a job.
There was a time when a young
man was indentured for a year or
two or three to learn a business or
trade.
F. w. WOOlworth, the greatest re-
tail merchant the world has had,
worked six months for no pay for
the privilege, of learning enough
about the retail trade to command
a salary.
Today the first idea OF the appli-
cant for employment is as to how
much money he or she will get. It
does not matter whether he or she
is fit or wholly unfit If UNIT the
applicant wants to be paid for the
period of training. Then. or before
arriving at a stage OF usefulness,
there is request for more pay
In one day there appeared three
paragraphs in one New York news
paper that are Illuminating. Here
they are:
"A stenographer in a dry goods
store who was paid SIS a week
when she took the job of a soldier
two years ago wanted S35 a week
recently. Now she is looking for a
position"
"A girl who worked in a selling
agency where ginghams are handled
was asked to wear a gingham dress
during gingham week. She ap-
peared in a satin skirt and a georg-
position"
"a dry goods commission house
hired a boy as messenger two
months ago at $40 a week. A month
later his pay was raised to $12 a
week. Within a short time ne de-
manded SIS week. Now he is
looking for a position

By EDMUND VANCE COOKE.
Now when my boy is restless rude
And rampant rough and careless
crude;
When he's so full of lightning
juice
No adult reasons may explain
him,
When safety-valves are little use
And cylinder-heads cannot con-
tain him;
1 grab fast to this startling truth,
Before my brain begins to totter,
That I myself was such youth
And not a doting daughter!
Now when my girl shows some
caprice
Which threatens my somnoIent
peace:
When I am buIlied. bossed, beguiled
And tantalized on pins and need
les,
When my tanned soul is driven wild
By reason of her whims and
wheedlss;
Then. just before 1 fall in fits
That I am so besieged and har-
ried,
A sudden thought restores my
Wits
Twas such a girl I married!

The Report Of the Conference.

The full publicity given to yester-
days conference at the White House
was in strict accord with the policy
adopted by the Senate in its treatment
Of the treaty Of peace. And it was Of
the utmost value. Every word of the
discussion was of interest. The give
and take Of question and answer, the
sometimes colloquial expressions en-
ployed, the digressions upon side lines,
the return to formerly discussed topics,
the absence Of Journalism, all added to
the value Of the report as a document
Of intense interest and importance.
The Star regards this report 80 highly.

Uncle Sam ss Trader.

Merchant ships flying the Stars and

where they have seldom been seen b.
fore. American drummers, in num-
bers, alert. and with every appear
ance Of meaning business, are report
ed in nearly every European country,
and in both Central and South Amer
lea. Praise of American business en-
terprise is published in many foreign
journals Of large circulation, and
spoken by many foreigners Of distine,
ton.
All Of this is to tho good. It sup
ports the American claim and reputa.
ton of hustle. And surely all the
hustle that is in US should be put forth
now. We have entered a contest
where, unless we do our best, and bst'
ter than we have hitherto ever done
We cannot hope to win.
We are fortunate in the start. Our
great producing plants are either in
their stride, or will soon be. The wal
was fought three thousand miles from
our shores. While our. industrial
world furnished its full quota to the
military world, it was not stripped Of
its man power, and hence is easily

the lead. England has but to read
just her productivity to the new con-
ditions. She was not invaded during
the war. France is at work clearing
away wrecks and building on old sites.
Belgium is recovering. Italy needs
coal and raw materials, but is nego-
tiating for both. Germany and Aus
tria, in order to carry their war bur-
dens. must get busy, and stay busy.
These are all trading countries, and
two Of them-England and Germany
have records as traders surprising the
records Of all other countries. To hold
our own with them, therefore, will re-
quire US to employ all our resources,
and be diligent students of the trad
ing game. We must note their per-
formances, examine their methods, and
aequsint ourselves, with how, and with
what profit, they make their wheels go
round.
As soldier Uncle Sam surprised
Europe. Not in his courage, because
he had shown that in war before; but
in his ability to learn and apply the
latest rules Of the fighting game. Let
us hope he may surprise Europe as a
trader. Not in the character of his
resources, or in the strenuousness of
his productivity, for they are widely
known; but in his ability to learn and
apply ON a world scale the latest rules
of the trading game. He is a very
quick and observing old gentleman,
and when he sets his mind to thing
usually accomplishes it.
