printers Ink' More Essential.
From the Shoe and Leather Reports.

By one OF those curious misconcep-
tions engendered in hasty reading
some persons have come to suppose
that the conservation division of the
War Industries Board has recomme nd
ed that advertising in trade papers
be curtailed. The fact of the matter
is that the idea of economizing in pa
per and printers ink was suggested
in connection with the use of selling
helps, such as posters, transparencies,
signs. envelope slips, mailing cards,
etc. Indeed the thought was that az

formed 1t would be well If in the in
terest Of economy advertising be con-
fined to them and less use be made OF
miscellaneous printing. The same
principle also applies to newspapers
1t is obvious that war increases
rather than decreases the demand for
periodical literature. The destruction

despicable character. Perhaps it will
not be thoroughly comprehended until

err than during the past three or four
years. With but few and glaring ex-
ceptions American journalism has
stood the test Of loyalty. The people
have learned the truth through their
papers and periodicals. It is admitted
everywhere that the great success Of
the liberty loan, Red Cross and thrift
stamp campaigns would not have been
possible without the daily insistence
in the peoples reading matter that
bonds and stamps should be bought
and charitable subscriptions be made
to help win the war.

RICHARDS, YOUTHFUL NET STAR,

appendicitis. was operated on. and
had to remain out of the game for six
weeks. When he returned to the
courts. however. he surprised his
friends by playing so per cent
stronger game than ever before.
His latest setback. coming as 1t did
almost the day after his reinstate-
ment. is a doubly hard blow to young
Richards. He was anxious to get on
the courts to redeem himself after
the unfortunate incident. 1t Is to be
hoped that the youngster RECEIVERS

no permanent weakness in his arm,

Miss Molla Bjurstedt. national cham

masculine PLAYER II he was trying
his best. Down at Palm Beach last
winter Miss Bjurstedt played an ek
hibition match with Stanley MORT
mer. a player of note. and. though
she gave him a run for his money
was beaten.
Surprising. however. that Miss Blur
stedt had not been hampered by
skirts? suppose she had worn light
days when playing basket ball? What
then? Would she have had more or
a chance against Mortimer? Compe-
tent critics have claimed that skirts
make all the difference in the world
when il comes TO covering court.
II would be interesting to find out
just how much a woman is affected
by the burden of skirts. Take an
athleticaily inclined girl. for in
stance. and time her in r hundred
N3Eu udSn with the reg tth-
mis- skirt. Then let her change to
boomers and after a good rest run
the hundred again. That would give
some real data TO go on.
And if it should prove to be true
that skirts cut down the speed APP
probably. then II might not be bad
idea to modify the costume of the
fair contestants. Woman swimmers
wear bathing suits similar to those
of the men and nobody appears to
think any the worse of them for 50
doing.

to say that Boston almost pardoned
his prelacy." He credits the whole
thing to the goodness of the arch
bishop, and never mentions that Bos-
ton has really grown quite accustomed
to bishops, and since Phillips Brooks
has actually been able on OCCASION to
hold them in affection.
He tells. however. how nearly Lord
Bryce came to being mobbed ouce

the incident has entirely passed out
of his mind. If 1t had been the flight
of saucy dove across his nose the
Nomad would have remembered it.
But the thing In Boston which as
tonished Mr.. Wilson most of all was
the statue of Sir Harry Vane at the
Public Library, with this inscription:
"Sir Henry Vane, governor OF the
colony of the Massachusetts, bay, 1885.
Born 1912. Beheaded 1862. An ardent
defender Of civil liberty and advocate
of free thought in religion. He main
tained that God. Law and Parliament
are superior to the king
He accepts 1t all as proof that Boe-
ton is still fiercely roundhead. Oddly
enough, the hnor paid to Sir Harry
Vane in our public library rests rather
on the basis Of his being an English
man and a gentleman than on that
of his being a puritan and 4 republi-
can. Boston certainly loved Sir Harry
and deeply regretted that he did not
cast in his lot with the colony. But
even though he returned to England,
Boston has always sought to hold him
as a townsman, and the public library
statue is a worthy honor paid to a
man whose influence and endeavore
were all along the line OF public as
pirations.
Inasmuch as England herself has
now accepted the idea that law and
parliament are superior to the king.
why should an Ehglishman besrudEe
Sir Harry his niche in our public IL
brary?
