 A 'boob'' and ttgob'' met at one of the entraining stations yesterday, where they serve tea and biscuit. q don't sup pose you army men savvy our seagoing slang,' said the sailor, who wore ''U s Armed Guard'' on his hatband and two overseas stripes on his sleeve. Some times the rookie sailors-we call them boots because they always draw rubber boo<s at the training stations-don't savvy it, either. Now. you know, in the navy the little smoke stack from the galley or kitchen on a ship is nicknamed the Charlie Noble,' after some old sea cook of long ago. We'll on my ship one day we tells rookie that Charlie Noble said he was fathead and dub The rookie got sore as a pup and went hunting all over the ship for Charlie Noble. Finally he goes up to the captain himself and complained of being called names by Charlie. Report to the b'o'sn,' said the skipper. Ask for pot of red paint and tell him I gave you permission to daub it all over Chariie-dol a good job O, it, too.'"

SENTIMENT AND WRIST WATCH

From the Boston Herald.
 It is curious what reversal the war has brought about in the public sentiment regarding the wrist watch. 4 few years ao the watch on male wrist was a token that it's bearer was foreigner or a flop. At present, the general opinion seems to be that a watch on the wrist is worth two in the pocket The old fashioned pocket watch is unadapted to the vestless nature of the soldiers uni- form. Furthermore. it is most inconven- tent to be under the necessity of unbut- toning the overcoat at drill or on guard or in the trenches, whenever it is desired to ascertain the time. As a consequence, it is now possible to see the most swag gering roughneck Haunting what was but yesterday the despised mark of the willy boy.
 What will be the fate of the wrist watch? Will it's present wearer retain it in civil life or will the odium of before the war return to it? It seems reasonable to suppose that thing of so much use will not sink again into neglect. History tells of many articles which started their careers as unmanly luxuries and ended as necessities of daily life. Soap is pri- marily mentioned by the ancients as a luxurious cosmetic. The common pin has been the object of sumptuary laws, Ni'h-

EARNEST BATTLE EVER FOUGHT


 By Joaquin Miller The bravest battle that ever was
 fought,
 Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you'll find
 it not;
 Twas fought by the mothers of men. Nay. not with cannon, or battle shot. With sword, or nobler pen; Nay, not with the eloquent words or From mouths of wonderful men. But deep in walled-up woman's Of woman that would not yield But bravely, silently bore her part To! there is that battlefield. No marshaling troop. no bivouac song; No banners to gleam and wave. But oh! these battles they last so
 long
 From babyhood to the gravel z Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars, She fights in her walled-up town Fights on, and on, in endless wars. Then silent, unseen goes down. Oh. ye with banners and battle-shot. And soldiers-to shout and praise. tell you the knightliest victories fought Are fought in these silent ways. Oh' spotless woman in world of shame, With splendid and silent scorn. Go back to God as white as you came,
 knirhtliest warrior born.

k * * Plans for Guarding The Presidents Life

1T N the worlds greatest republic, N where democracy approaches ideal conditions, it might seem paradoxical that the President must be constantly surrounded by secret service men on the lookout for would-be assassins. But the precaution is well considered.
 Boston is planning for extraordinary safeguards, and when President Will son stepS off the gang plank of the steamship George Washington Mon- day he will proceed to his hotel be- tween lines of soldiers and sailors, while troop of cavalry will ride close to his carriage. It will recall scenes familiar to Russia and other countries where autocracy has held sway and where anarchists were thick and des- perate.
 It is to be deplored that such armed protection is needed in this land of freedom and asylum of the oppressed, but social unrest and the spread of bolshevism are in evidence in the United States as we'll as in Europe, and nothing must be left undone to make the Presidents life safe.
 At the end of the civil war there were no signs of anarchy. Lincoln was assassinated by Wilkes Booth, obsessed and of tragic mold, and Gar field, sixteen years later, was assas- sinated by Guiteau, crazy man. Up to that time the secret service guard had not appeared and little was heard or thought of the reds" McKinley's fate in 1901 made it clear that Presi- dents must be not only guarded, but closely guarded, day and night. And the need is more apparent now than ever.
 Boston is not acting feverishly. It is only following the dictates of req son.

MAN AND HIS JOB

From the Los Angeles Times.
 When man has job and doesn't like it it is advisable that he hold to it un- til he finds opportunity for 8 change. Of course, while he is working the chance for finding new fields is restricted, but there is distinct satisfaction in having a job in hand. Even a persons creditors will tell him that. But it is fine if man likes his work He can do better and the employer can see and understand. There are some men who hate all forms of work and would be discontented any, where, but the normal man prefers occu- patton of some kind, and if he finds that which Is both congenial and remuner- ative he is as near contentment as the human breast can usually be found. It is the business of the bolsheviki, the agitator and the walking delegate to create distrust and to widen any breach that exists between employer and em- ployed. While exclaiming against class they are doing their best to create what might not otherwise exist Life Is but series of demands for something more or something they haven't got and there is never a moment for appreciation of present benefits. They would have the workman come to the employer eitner as |highwayman or beggar-never as com rade or adviser. As result capital and slabor would ever go armed against one another instead of marching side by side in harmony and support It is hard, in- deed. to establish that cordial co-opera- ton that is 90 much to be desired and is so essential to the permanent welfare and happiness of nation or com munity,

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

Anyway thin girl has the consolation of knowing that only a little of it has to
 show on the outside. Nowadays when man is worn out and can't have any fun himself he spends his
 money supporting some anti organiza- tion that sees to it that nobody else has any fun.
 If a woman sees an article advertised for 10 cents in a store down town, and
 she can buy the same article for 12 cents one square from her hOme she saves money by paying carfare both ways and going down town to get the article for 10 cents.
 Warizell! Before the war you could get a can of beer for nickel and the bar tender would hand you pretzel free of charge. Nowadays a can of beer would cost you half dollar and pretzels cost about a nickel each, There isn't much or chance for a man to shine in society when the seat of his pants is shiny. Marriage may be failure. But don't let that worry you. It isn't any more of a failure than remaining single. When a woman is iearning to smoke cigarettes she makes herself sick. And ,, after she has learned to smoke them she makes other people SICK. man couldn't attract much Of a crowd by discussing the question: sTo Whither Are We Drifting?" But he is always sure of an enthusiastic audience when he discusses the question: 'What'll Va Have?'
 No, Rollo, smart man isn't a man who never makes mistakes. A smart man is one who learns something every 1 time he makes mistake Poor men are always trying to give YOU I the impression that they are wealthy. And wealthy men are always trying tc give you the impression that they are
 poor.

ADRIF'T WITH THE TIMES
THE FIRST NIGHTER

Observe him well, a ring of hair
 Surrounds a head that else were bald His thin gray locks with incest care Are combed and brushed, each one is
 called
 Upon to grace shining dome
 For all it's worth, which isn't much; Methinks he's never had home, Some little tots, a wife and such. The years have added corpulence
 To what was once a youthful frame, And potent liquors have long since Illumed his face with rubious flame. But still his failing eye pursues
 The chorus maidens as they trip; With keen enjoyment still he views lissome form, 8 carmined lip.
