These are the feather-bed soldiers of de- mocracy. who never fought to buy us our liberty, and consequently are quite willing to throw away our most valuable pos session.
 These homeguard [ bolshevists knew
 nothing of the agony of Valley Forge, of the sacrifices of Gettysburg, or of the
 Golgothas of Flanders. They were not
 in the trenches at Chateau Thierry. they did not experience that awful havoc when
 death fell like leaves of autumn in the horror of the Argonne Forest.
 From the siren voices of these false
 leaders of the safety corps let the nation
 turn to those who by deeds and not by
 words have secured her liberty. To real

 own household we cannot do better than to compare bolshevism and Americanism,

 Anericanism incarnate in Abraham In

 I take Abraham Lincoln as the most American of all Americans. and Nicolai Lenine as the most bolshevik of all bol- shevists.
 Tn looking at the lives of these two men we see stripped of all obscurity the opposing principles for which they stand The life of Lincoln Is the incarnation of love.
 The life of Lenine is the incarnation or hate.
 Lincoln and Lenine both passed through deep waters From their earliest youth both knew to it's dregs the cup of woe Lincoln used every adverse circumstance
 of his early days to deeben his sympathy, for his brother man. The more he suf- fered. the deeper he felt for his fellow sufferer Pain and sorrow only served to intensity love as the master passion | Of Lincoln's life.
 Lenine used every misfortune that be- l fell him to increase his hatred or nis Tel ] lows. From his earliest days his nature | his growth is but the tale of the in- was twisted and contorted. The story or tensifying of his misanthropic spirit

on France and England appeared to
be satisfying the widest expectation,
but, as a matter of fact, they falied.
So many Zeppelins literally went up
in smoke, when punctured by the in
cendiary bullets of the allies that the
Germans were compelled to order the
remaining ones home.
The trouble with the dirigible was
that its gas bag was filled with a
highly inflammab1e gas which ex-
pioded and set fire to the entire ma
chine whe nignited by an incendiary
bullet Sometimes the aviators sue
ceeded in escaping in their parachutes,
but more often they were burned alive
while strapped in their seats. Hence,
dirigibles became unpopular, and the
Zeppelin gradually retired from the
aerial war zone. Meantime. however,
both sides were working furfously on
the problem of finding a non-inflam-
mable gas for the dirigible's gas bag.
Down in Fort Worth, Texas, engineers
from the army, the navy and the bu-
reau of mines, as well as engineers
sent over by the allies, finally sue
ceeded in solving the problem. Just
before the signing of the armistice
they developed a product from natural
gas which proved to be what they
were searching for. 1t is lighter than
air, and at the same time it is net
inflammable. Six months more of
war, and the Germans would have had
striking example of their own pet
species of frightfulness.
\ This war invention will also have a
peace time use. for the little dirigibles
developed by the navy, promise to
have a great future as carriers of pas
sengers and cargo. Except for the
fact that static electricity or lightning
may set fire to their bags, they are
far safer than airplanes. This danger
from fire may now soon be removed.

Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

Menace to Domestic Happiness.
A young woman is engaged to be
married to a young man who is sober,
moral, Industrious, intelligent and has
charming personality. But he has
an ungoverned temper, and flies into
RACES in which he says cruel and bru-
tai things.
After these bursts of anger he re-
penis and apologies. but his repent
ance is not deep enough to keep him
from repeating his offensess and this
causes the young woman to wonder
IL she will not be making a mistake
in giving her life into the Keeping of
such man.
1t needs no domestic prophet to an
swer these questions. If it is a choice
between evils, marry the ~roue, the
loafer, the drunkard rather than the
man with violent temper. For there
is, at least, some hope of reforming
the out-and-out sinner, but none of
reforming the high tempered.
The high tempered seldom even try
to contfol their weakness. Nor do
they blame themselves for indulging
in their favorite vice. They blame
other people for provoking them, and
WHEN they say that they are sorry for
the things they have said and done
they feel that they have amply atoned
for the wrongs they have committed.
This is what makes 1t utterly inn
possible ID deal with the high tenn
.pered in any way except by just try
ing to stand from under, and it is
what gives the man with the shrewish
wife and the woman with the brutal
husband the peculiar cowed, nervous,
anxious look they invariably wear.
For temper is like a bomb in the
household. 1t is always just on the
point of exploding, and the unhappy
man or woman who must live with it
never knows what inadvertent act or
word will set off the charge that will
blow everything into smithereens.
The woman who married the high
tempered man can promise herself no
peace or happiness. She may have
hours of rapturous joy in his COM
panionshfp. but they will be intervals
of calm in a life of storms and stress.
abiding peace, comfort and well being
life worth while. 2
She will learn what it is to anxious1y
scan her husbands face when he
comes home of an evening for the
signs of irritability that show he has
had bad day at the office, and is
surcharged with wrath that he is just
waiting to vent on, the first one that
crosses him. She will acquire lines in
juggling act of walking on eggs, so as
rifle her lord and master.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My girl
friend and I have been going with
two schoolboy friends for some time.
Every time We go anywhere I feel
exceedingly embarrassed because my
friend never has his shoes shined
and very seldom goes to a barber to
have his hair cut, and his clothes are
ra- ely ever pressed, while my chum's
friend is always very neat in appear

how nice my chum's friend always
looks. but to no avail He is a fine
fellow. otherwise, but please tell me
how I can tell him in nice way.

/ am afraid you will have to be less
gentle. 1t might be doing him quite
favor to instill feeling of respect
in him because it will make a lot of
in life to have the need of keeping
his shoes shined, clothes pressed and
his hair cut thoroly instilled. Per-
haps a good straight word of advice
from you would be his redemption.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am twenty
and am going with a divorced man.
He wants me to marry him. He is a
jealous man, though. 1 have friend
in France to whom I am engaged. He

he hasn't received many of my let
ters. Would you advise me to marry
this man or wait until the other fell
low gets back, as I am working for
my own living?
PINK BABY.
It is far better to work for ones
living than to- marry a man without
love. Such a course would bring you
unhappiness. Since the divorced man
is very jealous and his life with his
former wife was not a success, / would
advise you to give him up. Wait for
the soldier boy if you love him.
