BUN DIES.

Is a baby a bundle? The question
is more important than it sounds, for
upon the answer rests the right af of
ficers of the United States army to
carry their own offspring singular or
pluraD. officers must not carry bun
dies. 1t is against the customs OF the
service 1t Is taboo in the army,
says New Republic. 1t might be con-
sidered as a fragrant breach Of those
rules and manners that have grown
up in the old regular establishment
for the purpose of hedging about that
sacred entity, the officer and gentle
men, with restrictions that would in
any way offend against the dignity Of
his position. Now, is baby bun
die? You see at once the deep sig
nificance of the question. II baby
is a bundle, the officer-father must not
carry him. If not a bundle, he may
avail himself of this privilege Of par
enthood and march down the street
with his first born. proud in the con-
seriousness that he is fulfilling his pa
rental obligation on the one hand and,
on the other, that he Is not permitting
his dignity to be compromised or caus-
ing his self-respect to take slump.

BANKS TO SAFEGUARD
BONDS AND STAMPS
Ready to Protect Securities Of
Small Investor Free or for
Nominal Charge.

In buying Liberty Bonds, Victory
Liberty Loan Notes, Thrift and War
Savings Stamps the people of the
United States have done more than
perform n patriotic duty-they have
invested In the soundest security in
the world, gold obligations Of the
United States Of America.
But the safeguarding Of these secu-
rites has become a problem for many
folk. Only a few persons, relatively,
have either safe in their house or
office, or a safe-deposit box In the
vaults Of the bank. Far too many of
our patriotic citizens are keeping
Bonds and Notes and Stamps about
the house. in the bureau drawer, under
the mattress, or on the shelf. And
even IL the treasure is thus hidden
from thieves, there Is the ever-present
danger of fire, and the total loss of
the money invested.
There will be no further call for the
people at large to subscribe to huge
Bond issues, but the Government must
have the little daily and weekly sums
which come in from the sale of Stamps
IL taxes are to be kept down. And the
danger of loss has deferred some peo-
pie from buying as many Stamps as
they might otherwise buy. Hence the
question of safety will be a future
question as well as a present one
Steps have been taken, however, to
meet this situation.
First, every Bond. Note or Stamp
Certificate may be registered with the
Treasury Department or with the Post
Office Department. Registration means
that the owners name, and the num-
Der which is on his security, have been
registered" by the Government, and
that nobody but himself Cor herself)
can possibly get the money which the
Bond, Note or Stamp Certificate calls
for. Certificates may be registered
through the nearest post ONCE, Bonds
or Notes through the nearest bank.
And the second method for safe
guarding has been provided by the
banks themselves. Every bank-na-
tional bank or savings bank-and ev-
cry trust company has. of course, am
pie and secure vaults. For the man
who does not feel that he can afford
TO rent safe-deposit box to keep only
his Liberty Bonds in, most of the banks
and trust companies have announced
their willingness to keep these securi-
ties for him In their own vaults. And
they will also take care Of his Stamp
Certificates.

WINTER SUNSHINE.

Burroughs wrote an essay on "Win-
ter Sunshine" 1t was one of his best,
written away back in his Washington
days when the enthusiasm of life was
strong In him and before he had taken
to philosophizing. II everyone could
read this sketch of a brisk walk out
of the national capital no winter
would ever seem quite bad. says Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. And a winter of
much sunshine, like our present I'M
wintry winter, would seem good.
There Is much merit in an "old-fash-
toned winter" of zero spells and
heaped snowdrifts. There is more
merit In such a winter than in win
ter that is little more than a long
beginning of spring. But the snow
less winter, the sunny winter, has its
own merit. 1t is good that all win
tiers are not alike. There Is enjoy
ment in winter varieties just as in
all other varieties in nature. Indeed,
Is not natures endless variety one of
her chiefest charms? Consider the
chickadee, for instance. The chick
adee is the very symbol of indomlt-
able cheer. He is happy in the worst
weather. Zero cannot chill the fire
of optimism in him. Billiards cannot
blow away his bravery. The nastiest
rains cannot quench his zeal or damp
en- his zest In any winter he is gay
and gleesome. He chatters and chirps
and is eternally busy. But in sunny
winter like this he Is even happier
than his own happy self.
