MY HUSBAND AND /

That I was belittling myself by list

Inundated, never entered my mind. I
simply had to hear what these men
were saying. Tonko went in with
chopped ice, and 1 heard Neil tell him
they should not need him again. Then,
just as the door closed, he said:
DO you mean to tell me. Fred
erick, that you refuse to help me ?''
So Mr.. Frederick was one of the
men, and he had refused to help Neil.
In what? Was it someone else who,
like Scott wanted to get rid of what
Neil had sold him? Was some one
again threatening Neil? I must
know, 1 would know. / put out the

OF the door-the opposite side to
which it opened. Yet I soon was able
to distinguish the speaker, and to fol-
low the conversation to a certain ex-
tent. They all spoke loudly, as if

THE NEW MOSES.

THE new Moses from across the
Atlantic writing the tables of the law
for a better world" is the way in
which writer in the London Daily
News refers to President Wilson.
Continuing his discussion of the
presidents activities and his relation
to the matters under consideration at
Versailles the same writer says:
1t is because the president subor-
dinates American interests to world
interests. the interests of money to
the interests of humanity, that he has
captured the ear of the plain people
in all countries including his own and
has given them a gospel that they
have heard gladly. He has grasped
the great truth that the world cannot
be sort of curate's egg-good in
parts. If it is to be liberal world it
must be liberal turnout. 1t must have
unity of spirit and purpose. Nation
alism must adjust itself to internation-
alism. Within their own borders and
in their own domestic affairs, the
rights of America, of England, of
France and the rest must be unchal-
est conflicts with another nations in
terest it must be subject to the general
law of society and the authority of the
commonwealth of man.
And in spite of the clouds that hang
over the world today there is no rea-
son to despair. The main battle of
democracy is being won. The obsti-
nate optimism of the president is tri-
umphing. The French and the Ital-
ians are learning, a little painfully,
the new world gospel that he has
brought. They have been slow, and
that is not strange. They are conti-
mental peoples and it is not easy for
them to get out of the continental
habit of thought; but there is clear
evidence that they are beginning to
see that the vision of a world organ
lied on cooperative basis instead of
mutually destructive basis is not the
dream of an amiable idealist, but the
real politics of a very practical states
man.
The covenant of the league of ma
lions is not all that we could wish,
but it is the most splendid achieve
ment in the political history of man.
1t is the great charter of his destinies
and its incorporation in the peace
terms will set up a new lamp of free
dom in the world that will not be ex-
tinguished

Premier Orlando of Italy has
thrown down his cards. quit the peace
game and gone home. 1t was about
the only thing left for him to do. Had
he consented to a REIMBURSEMENT of
Italy's claims to Fiume and the Dali
Inatian coast his action probably
would have been followed by a revo-
luton in Italy. Italys program is rem
dered no less certain of failure by the
premfer's course, but internal peace
may be preserved thereby. His peo-
pie must recognize the fact that he has
done the best he could. In the contro-
versy which has arisen either Presi-
dent Wilson is right and Italy is
wrong, or Italy is right and the presi-
dent is wrong. There can be no mid
die ground on a matter of principle.
There is no room for compromise.
The Judgment of fair minded and dis
interested people must be on the side
of the president. The future peace
of Europe demands that the matter
be settled now. In order to remain
settled it must be settled right. The
business of the delegates to the Paris
conference is to make peace, not war.
Permitting Italy to have her way on
the east coast of the Adriatic certainly
would result in more war. Rejection
Of her claims can do no worse.

NATION-BUILDING.
We are building a nation of free men, we
are building q race to endure,
We are blazing a path for the children of
men, path where the footing is sure !;
We have truth for its mighty foundation,
its girders are justice and right,
And the peace of the home in the twf-
light is the body and soul of our might.
We are building with men for the future.
They come from all lands to our
shores:
There is never a ship on the ocean but
brings a new face to our doors.
They come with their women and children
frightened and pale and oppressed,
And we that are lovers of freedom must
teach them the things that are best.
We must take them and shape them and
mold them until they are one with us
all;
We must teach them our tongue and our
customs if ne Ter our flag is TO fall;
We must train them to honor Old Glory
they must learn what it means to be
free,
They must love this great land as we love
it for the sake of the nation to be.
Sweet laughter must ring in their houses,
their children about them must play,
They must find the eontentment of free
dom and put all their hatred away.
We are building nation of free men, and
out of each alien breed
Must come an American people that shall
know the American creed.

PROGRESS OF SUFFRAGE.

The great increase in the number
of states having presidential suffrage
is regarded by suffrage leaders as a
sure indication of the growth in the
sentiment for political freedom for
women. Seven states within the last
year have given women the right to
vote for president: Wisconsin, In
diana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri,
Tennessee and Iowa; while in YER
mont the measure passed the legisla-
ture, but was vetoed by the governor,
and again passed over his signature by
the senate.
But the suffrage amendment still
lacks one vote in the United States
senate. Nine new senators have de-
elared their support of the amend
ment. Four new senators have not
stated their position. Every new Re-
publican senator but one, Senator
Keyes of New Hampshire, who is non
committal, has declared himself for
the amendment. Every new Demo-
cratic senator but three who are non
committal have declared themselves
for the amendment
Ninety-two senators have announced
their suffrage stand: 4Sixty-three are
for and twenty-nine against. OF the
four uncertain men, three are Demo-
Gratis and one a Republican. OF those
pledged, thirty-eight are Republicans
and twenty-five are Democrats. OF
those against, there are ten Republic
cans and nineteen Democrats.
| According to the present poll
twenty-five states will vote solidly for
| suffrage. With the one exception of
Senator Borah, the entire west is lined
up for the amendment. In the middle
west, the only votes not in favor are
those of Senator Reed of Missouri,
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska and
Senator Pomerene of ohio. The state
legislatures requested Senators Hitch
cock and Pomerene to vote for the
amendment. Opposition to the
amendment is now concentrated along
the Atlantic seaboard, having been
pushed steadily eastward since in
1869 Wyoming enfranchised its wo-
men. No new senators have declared
themselves against the amendment.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
young lady eighteen years of age and
am in love- with a man six years my
senior. L kept company with him for
nearly three months last summer and
then he left for camp.
He wrote letters to me and of course
answered them. Then for a long
time he did not write. After a long
time however. he wrote me again and
said he would tell me when he came
back why he did not write. He also
said he would be out to see me as
soon as he got his discharge.
I think now he is home, but he has
not been out to see me yet. / think
he came back about week ago. In
his letters he seemed to think quite
a lot of me and also When he was
home and came to see me.
Do you think he does care for me?
If he does, wouldn't he have been out
to see me before this?
A girl friend told me he was en-
gagged to another girl, but 1 hardly be-
lieve he is. Besides she does not men
ton it anymore. BRIGHT EYES

of a returned soldier boy has many

Dear Mrs. Thompson. My friend
thought a great deal of me some time
ago, but is now growing cold We
have been seeing each other lot and
both of US are of age. I do not know
but imagine that there is another girl
in whom he is interested. What can
do to keep his love?
I imagine you will tell me to be in
terested in other men. There is one
man whom 1 have never met. but at
tracts my fancy. How could 1 man

How can 1 remove moles from my
face? SUSAN.
Do not see the man SO often. If
you make his visits less frequent he
will think that your interest in him
is growing cold, and he will be afraid
of losing you. Yes. / do think you
should go with other men. too, If you
can. Very often, when a girl has de-
voted her time to one man. others
do not seek her company. 1t is most
important, however. to be more indif-
ferent and not give the man every
thing he asks for.
1t is not the girls place to try to
get an introduction. I believe that
there is : natural law of attraction
between friends. Nature finds some
way to draw them together without
either making any particular effort
At any rate il will be wiser for you
not to seek an introduction
The only safe way to remove moles
is with the electric needle.

Because the Emerald City has
been ruled by men long enough, for
one reason said the girl. More
over, the City glitters with beautiful
gems, which might better be used for
rings, bracelets and necklaces; and
there is enough money in the Kings
treasury to buy every girl in our army
a dozen new gowns. So we intend to
conquer the City and run the govern
ment to suit ourselves"
Jinjur spoke these words with an
eagerness and decision that proved she
was in earnest.
"But war is terrible thing said
Tip, thoughtfully.
This war will be pleasant" replied
the girl. cheerfuIly.

But the Guardian of the Gate is con-
sidered a faithful Guardian, and the
Kings Army will not let the City be
conquered without a struggle"
1.-THE Army is old and feeble,'' re-
piled General Jinjur, scornfully. "His
strength has all been used to grow
whiskers, and his wife has such a
temper that she has already pulled
more than half of them out by the

ceeded some distance in silence, and

in the forest where fully 400 young
women were assembled. These were
laughing and talking together as gaily
as if they had gathered for a picnic
instead of war of conquest.
They were divided into four com
panies. and Tip noticed that all were
dressed in costumes similar to that
worn by General Jinjur. The only
real difference was that while those
