Disagree on Best WORKING Time.

Most people. bound by iron-bound
tradition In the matter Of work hours,
have their own ideas as to what are
really the best hours for work, and
envy that fortunate class, the authors,
for their privilege of arranging their
schedules to suit their own conve-
nience. And it Is curious fact that
many writer's prefer greatly to work
late at night.
LOngfellow worked until two or
three in the morning. preferring the
stiffness Of the night to the noisiness
Of the day, for his hours Of toll. Mrs.
Oliphant, also had the habit Of doing
most Of her writing late at night, and
in the "wee-sma' hours" Booth Tark-
ington gives his mornings to tennis
and spends the afternoons and eve
nings at work; and H. g. Wells also
prefers burning the midnight oil.
While on the other hand, Thack-
cray preferred to work early in the
morning, preferably before ten.
George Bernard Shaw says the hest
working hours are breakfast to lunch,
I'm the open air II possible, and states
that "All night work is drunken work."
and Sir Gilbert Parker is another ad.
vocate Of getting up early and doing
most Of his work before lunch.

Senator Lodge voices the sentiment
OF all Americans who have read and
studied the covenant of the League Of
Nations. when he says 1t should be re-
drafted and put In such shape that 1t
will promote peace instead of breeding
disorder and not threaten the sover-
eighty of the United States. 1t is hard
to understand President Wilson's dicta-
torial attitude In his league plan. He
seems to think the American people
have to adopt anything he brings back
from Europe Just because he sanctions
1t. He is big. brainy man as we are
all proud to admit. but that isn't say
ing that his judgment in all things is
infallible.

Some men get in the public eye, while

The man who hasn't been found out
imagines that it is his duty to go around

after he has eaten raw onion, can
argue you into the belief that he hasn't.
A woman simply has to love some-

A girl can overcome the problem of
being thin by getting married. And
then she devotes her time to overcom-
