| How would we adjust ourselves to new conditions?
 All these questions and a hundred
 more presented themselves and they | were not-nay, are not-easy to solve. 1 Personally, l didn't (and donD want
 women to stop their activities merely because the war is over; there are so
 many things still to do; rebuilding the devastated foreign countries helping
 our returned wounded, making life sweet and happy for the widows and
 the orphans of the splendid men who
 gave up their lives for us!
 Somehow we got so used to "salut- | ing the flag; so used to being mill l tary" in our attitude as well as our state of mind; so used to talking in military terms; so proud of "Old Glory" and so glad to treasure it's traditions, that many of us learned many things about our flag that we had never known or even heard of before; so good after all has come out of the war; it has taught us reverence and respect for the glorious flag of our nation which led us on to splendid victory over our foes across the seas.
 But, as I said a bit ago, now that the
 war is over, and we are confronted with
 new conditions, and all the war activity committees are demobilizing and peo- pie getting back to normal" again, what is to take the place of these &C., tivities?
 How many women of your acquaint- ance-men, too, as well as children learned the words of The Star lSpangled Banner" who had never known them before the great world war? 1 I've stood by people in crowds when | the band was playing our national | air and have been astonished at the ac- 1 curacy of the words as sung by these
 same people; indeed, I myself, didn't ! know more than the first lines of '"The 1 Star-Spangled Banner" and must con-
 fess I was heartily ashamed. I learned
 the words and also the tune, and more
 than that, My Country, 'Tis of Thee"
 and felt proud to stand at attention" i when the flag passed by.
 And now that peace" has come are we to discard all our patriotism-our love of country, our love of flag, our
 respect for it?
 I was working this all out in my
 humble, little mind a few days ago
 working out whether the many fine women who have done such splendid l war work would stop suddenly-just
 so-and forget the National Music, forget to Salute" the Flag-forget-
 we'll, everything that we learned dur ing the past two years of the war,

{ introduction about old Mother Goose and her wonderful rhymes-things which everyone will be glad to learn.
 The illustrations for this edition ot Mother Goose are altogether unusual.
 There are many of them-some in colors. some in black and white, and they have all been made from photographs of dolls
 dressed to represent the different char acters.
 Mary, Mary Quite Contrary; Tommy
 Snooks and Bessie Brooks; Willy Boy: Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater; Tom, Tom the Pipers Son; The Pieman and Simple Simon; Little Boy Blue; Three Blind
 Mice; Little Miss Muffet; Jack and Jill; Bo-Peep; Old King Cole: Little Jack Hor- ner; and a host of others have all been
 photographed, performing the deeds for which they are celebrated. There is an irresistible appeal in these . little manikin pictures and incidentally the young reader will find that this
 Mother Goose gives one something to do. It will be fascinating to dress ones
 dolls like the photographs and to copy the miniature scenery. As for the older person-well, he will simply have to have the book for his own intense enjoyment. THE LAUGHING WILLOW | By Oliver Herford. George H. Dorar

occupations has deliberately and con- sistently ignored him. The change be- gins when she goes to appraise col lection of jewels left by James Thorn ton, an archaeologist, in Yorkshire. Here T. Scott, as well as the. reader meets an entirely delighted family. There is Rupert, the elder son, who has been wounded in the war; the ire pressible Tom, and the two girls, Wini- fred and Marion, besides MT. Thornton, unconsolable because her husband had been collecting jewels for years without letting her know. T. Scotts relations with the family continue throughout the book; Rupert especially likes her, and his affection warns her, softens her habitual and somewhat assumed af- fectation of heartlessness. She goes to Belgium after some jewels, but comes in contact with American and British relief workers and ends by taking care of refugees's baby-she, T. Scott.
 It is an honestly done study in char acter, with a note of spiritualism spun through it, in Rupert's speculation, that is convincing and impressive because 1t comes from a character who, Miss liar raden has succeeded in impressing us,
 is man to whom such munitions might come.

ledge in such a demolished condition as we often see it.
 One particular instance comes to my mind" Mrs. Chandler said. "In the
 western part of our city. in the rail- road yards of a large railroad com- pany, there is a flag flying which is so dirty and so tattered that it is real ly outrageous to let<it remain in such conspicuous position. It is soiled al- most beyond recognition, it is torn al- most into shreds, and yet 1t waves on and on and is really an eye-sors rather than an addition to the place.
 This is only one of many instances I might quote,' Mrs Chandler said, 'and Mrs. Jackson and I, as the com- mittee from the Old Elyton chapter of the D. A. R., really would like to be able to arouse the interest and the sympathy of Birmingham people into realizing that our flag is an emblem of our nations pride-of our national honor-and integrity, and it is just as little we can do as citizens to see that it is kept in clean and orderly condition wherever it flies, and when- ever it flies, whether in war or peace.
 What, indeed, must our splendid soldiers returning from their terrible experiences over there think when they see old Glory from many build- ing and many a home in the sadly neglected condition it is so often found?" Mrs. Chandler continued The flags they marched behind on their way to victory were all red, white and blue-bright, shining, inspiring-and the homage paid/ by every soldier as he 'saluted' the emblem of this fair land of ours was one of reverence, re- spect and love; and why not now pre-. sent just such a flag to our soldiers when they are returning as we did ma hn stained fields of France?
 The subject really merits serious thought Mrs. Chandler said, land the D. A. R. are so anxious to enlist the sympathy and interest of Birmingham people in this project. We would like to be able to have every citizen who flies the flag from his home or offics to watch the condition of the flag; seq that it is slightly object instead of a worn, dirty. tattered flag. It is matt ter of. national pride as well as indf vidual pride, and those of us who fall short of respect for the flag really fall short of a great duty.
 Nothing is more inspiring" said Mrs. Chandler. than to see the Stars and Stripes flying victoriously above us. and anything short of the deepest love and deepest respect for 1t is a lack of loyalty on the part of good American citizens; anything short of keeping it in perfect condition Is a reflection upon our individual as we'll as upon national honor. So pleace let me request the good people of Bir- mingham to cooperate with Mrs. Jack- son and myself in our efforts as a , committee from the Old Elyton chapter
 of the D. A. R.. in the upkeep of the flag; preserve it's dignity, its honor and it's inspiration by seeing that it is always in good condition and always an object of beauty"

 Naturally you'd suppose that the one
 thing that Mrs. Chandler is interested
 in is-music; but there you are mis-
 taken; of course, being identified as
 she has been for many years with mu-
 sicaI affairs and being so accom- plished in this particular line it IS only natural for us to think that her
 one and only interest is in music; but Mrs. Chandler has so many other &C., complishments, and is so public spirited and so much interested in pa
 triotic and civic questions that her versatility served just the purpose with me that was necessary, for she gave me the "clue," as it were, to the solving of my tempestuous problem.
 I found out from Mrs. Chandler that
 women are, not going to give up all
 their war activities-nor their interest
 in the flag and it's traditions-neither are they going to allow any of the
 rest of us to do so, for the Daughters of the American Revolution, of which

During1 the war we treasured it and loved 1t and showed our love, audibly and visibly, of our country and flag by keeping it before us in unsullied beauty and purity, and now that the war is over there is not
 the slightest reason why the flag should not continue to merit the same respect, the same homage and the same love-"
 From every building and many homes the Stars and Stripes waved gloriously all during the time that America was at war" Mrs. Chandler continued, land the flags were clean, bright and in good order Today we see many a flag flying from a public building, or in front of some home, tattered and torn and hardly recog nizable. There is absolutely no excuse for this. Our American pride and our American love for the flag is really uppermost in our hearts if we would

"WHERE YOUR HEART IS"

w I1EENE 1OOb fiEAIbI 10. By Beatrice Harraden. Dodd, Mead & Co.,, publishers, New York city. In Tamar Scott, spinster, of Dean street. Soho, dealer in precious stones and antique jewelry, generally known to her clients as T. Scott. Miss Harra- den has done a full-length portrait. Long ago a man had said of her: "T. Scott reserves all her manners for min erals only. No one else need apply" Here is the authors description of T. Scott:
 ''She was a woman of about 42 years of age, of middle stature, not slight, not solid, dignified in bearing, quiet. yet giving the impression of one having q fund of fierceness in reserve, either for attack or repulse. She was a Jewess, but not of pronounced type, with dark hair, and black eyes, and with mouth fine and sensitive, but undoubtedly sullen. She was sullen, too sullen and sulky and uncommonly rude at times"
 T. Scott's induration in her business, the carapace of greed which impene- trably sheathes her, her indulgence in her major passion, craving for pre- cious stones a craving half of the beauty worshipper, but half of the miser, are made viable for the reader. Here is no mere piling on of unlovely eccentricity to be melted later by a shock-shock of war or any other. Miss Harraden has avoided that pitfall, the bane of novelists and playwrights who have made fiction of the great war. The war has been made too much lever for regeneration. In Where Your Heart Is" we do not get the sense of the war used mechanically without deep feeling. an immersion in it's deeper spir- itual values T. Scotts converse ton comes slowly, and it comes from with in. It is absolutely convincing.
 She had lived in a sort of ivory tow CT, a tiny world of her own. She cheated and made money and hoaded jewels. Bramfield, a diamond merchant, with a son in the service, has loved her for years, but T. Scott, sexless in her pre-

TRIAL EXPORTS. ,

By s. Herzog. (Translated from the original by M. l.. Turrentine). Doubleday, Page & Co., publishers, Garden City, N. Y.
 In s. Herzog's book entitled The Flu ture of German Industrial Exports" M. L. Turrentine's translation brings out some very remarkable and vital facts; the book tells the story of the plot of the Germans to dominate the trade of the world-the plan having been drawn by Herzog, the author, one of their lead ing engineers.
 The book contains practical sugges- tions for safeguarding the growth of Ger man export activity in the field of man ufacturers after the war and discloses many of the secret ideas of the Germans along this line,
 An "IntrodUction, by Herbert Hoover, Vernon Kellogg and Frederick c. Wal cott, delineates their views on the sub ject and the book is well worth perusing.
 The contents of "The Future of German Industrial Exports contain the German authors synopsis classified as follows:
 Factors influencing or controlling eX ports:
 | Adaptability of the export industry.
 g. Attitude of foreign countries.
 Emigration of domestic industries.
 f. Economic compensations.
