after that he took little box of
salye and gently anointed my eye
brows, shaping them with his finger
tips and finally brushing them daintily
into fine line-sort of plucked eff
feet, like the broWs you girls are wear

He stood back and regarded me
with his head on one side, and a hap

on another box of salve. Meanwhile

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT.

With the first of July only a little
more than two months away, not
little concern is manifested in the
steps that must of necessity be taken
in order to bring about the enforce
ment of the prohibition law. 1t is a
task that is going to call for no little
machinery if it is going to be prop
eriy done. and unless it is properly
done it might just as we'll not DE at
tempted.
Ordinarily such work would fall up
on the bureau of internal revenue.
since that is the branch of the Cow
eminent that is concerned with the
collection of the taxes from such a
source. 1t has a certain force for
looking after the violators of the law
as to taxation now but that is by no
means sufficient to take on the addi-
tional work. The fact is. however,
that the department has asked to be
relieved of such work because it
hasn't the force and because what it
has is fully occupied with the duties
connected with the gathering in of the
many new taxes that have been laid.
In view of this situation. the sug-
Sestion has been made that the job of
enforcing prohibition should be left
with the department of justice, or
transferred to it, which action could
be taken by the president. This de-
partment was forced to surround it,
self with Il large body of agents dur
ing the period of the war. That all
their work is not ended can be real
view of certain relaxations it would be
possible TO employ them in such worl;
as enforcing the prohibition law where
needed, and particularly when the
states have failed to take any acton
in that direction. 1t is already evil
dent that there is going to be plenty
to do in preventing mar1facture as
well as sale and unless proper prep
aration is made the whole thing win
become q farce.

OTHER VIEW POINTS.

Some of those wordy college pro-
fessors and pedagogues are COM
planning again-this time that they
are paid less than baseball players,
They are also paid less than the chief
cooks OF leading hotels and a great
deal less than opera singers, but they
would not like to change places with
any of these. If a man likes his pro-
fession and is contented in it. that
alone ought to be regarded as no in
considerable part of his reward. In
other words the pleasure should not be
measured by the cost. - Waterbury

HOW TO GROW
EARLY CABBAGE

While cabbage does not rank very
high in food value, few plants of an
extremely early variety are desirable
for the home garden. The seeds should
be sown indoors and the plants reset
to the garden about the time that
danger of frost is past. Cabbage re-
quires a rich soil. and the plant of the
smaller early sorts should be set eigh-
teen inches apart in each direction for
hand cultivation, or thirty inches be-
tween rows and twelve inches in the
row for horse cultivation. 1t is a good
plan to pour a little water around the
roots of each plant as it is being set
i'll the garden.
If there is danger of plants being de-
stroyed by cutworms, a band of stiff
paper should be placed around the stem
of each plant Early cabbage will ma
ture in about sixty to seventy days
after setting in the garden.-U nited

OUR MINISTER TO POLAND.

Much has been said in the past, and
With good reason, about the appoint
nent of diplomatic representatives of
this country. Too often has it been
a case of paying a political debt and
too often has such policy resulted in
the withdrawal of the experienced and
replacing those who are fully in touch
with conditions. with other men who
are entirely green at the business and
must of necessity rely upon their as
sistants.
Such does not appear to be the case
in the naming Of our minister to Po-
land. 1t can be realized that it is 60
ing to be no easy post. There will be
hard problems to handle for some time
to come, and for that reason good
judgment appears to have been exer-
cised in the selection of Hugh Gibson
for that place Mr.. Gibsons is not
without experience. In fact he has
been right in the midst of troubled
Europe and there is reason to believe
that it was from the way in which he
has served the country in the past
that he was given this new post. Mr.
Gibson didn't go to Europe as a d.
! plomat. He went as secretary to
| Brand Whitlock. American minister to
Brussels, but upon his shoulders fell
the brunt of the work when Mr.. Whit
lock was taken sick. and at no time
could he have been given a better time
! for displaying his ability. 1t is vel
known what part he played in the
case of Edith Cavell and how we'll he
! handled the duties of the Office re-
garding the many other important is
sues that came up. He showed ther
that he was capable of taking care 0.
| his country's interests. and it is GER
tainly a good sign when such men ar,
selected for the nations diplomatic
service. They command much more
confidence than when they are named
solely for political purposes.

SHIPYARD WORKERS

Portland, Ore, Feb. At am so

Henry NJ White, United states COM
missioner OF immigration at Seattle,

1T may be that | am wrong and
that / have misjudged the situation
but | fully believe that the $4,000 or
more men now on strike will return
to work next week." said the immi-
grafton commissioner. "And this will
not be because the government has
agreed to any change in the scale. II
will be because the majority of the
men realize that they were in the
wrong and because they are ready to
admit it,"
Commissioner White gave it as his
opinion that the present labor dis
turbances were the necessary results
of after-war conditions and that this
country was fortunate in not having
had more serious outbreaks Of the
kind.

STRIKE TO IMPRESS ....
SECRETARY BURLESON

Portland. Ore, Feb. 14.-Vice
President Nellie johnson of the west
ern section of the telephone operat-
ors' department of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers s
said today that the proposed strike
of Pacific coast telephone operators
and electrical workers is not in itself
a demand for change in hours or
wages.
ut is simply an attempt she said
ito make the telephone companies
and the postoffice department recog-
nize the agreement made between
the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company, the presidents mediation
committee and the International
brotherhood of Electrical Workers in
November, 1917, to continue for the
duration of the war.
"When we attempted to obtain a
change in conditions recently, the
telephone company told us that the
matter was entirely out of its hands
because the government had taken
over the management of the lines.
Repeated appeals have been made to
Postmaster General Burleson by our
national officers, but he refuses to
treat with any save actual operators.
Since this is manifestly impossible
we have to depend upon the proposed
strike to make the other parties to
the agreement realize that the agree
ment is still binding"
Ballots were being mailed today to
members of the union in the Pacific
coast district.

Paris, Feb. 14.-Fear that the de-
lays occasioned by absence of Presi-
dent Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George will gravely jeoparlize the
successful outcome of the peace dele
gates deliberations, is making itself
felt in French political circles.
President Wilson is to be away from
Paris some five weeks and, in the be-
lief of the French at least, the powers
of the other American plenipoten-
tiaries probably will not extend to the
concentrating of important negotia-
tions. Thus, though the committees
will be hard at work, there will be no
decisions of definite import, and the
business of organizing peace will be
interrupted for considerable period
Meanwhile, as Pertinax points out in
the Echo de Paris, the Russian, Po-
lish and German problems, as we'll as
that of demobilization, are likely to
remain in a large measure unan-
swered. NJ. Pertinax shares with va
rious French politicians and officials
with whom | have talked the dread
lest the spirit of unrest and discon-
tent prevalent in many parts OF
Europe be previously increased tS
any lull in the peace making.
The specter of Bclshevism in
view of public opinion here, can only
be laid by the conclusion of final
and lasting peace. Delays in the at
tainment of this goal are sure t.
weaken the popular faith in the abil-
ity of the delegates to reach 1t.
