The badge of the American Legion
has replaced on President Wilson's
coat lapel the miniature American
flag which formed so prominent a
feature of the wartime pictures of
the nations chief executive. 1t was
left to the legion's chapter at Glen

in-chief of the American army and
navy into the organization. 1t voted
him a veteran of the war and extend
ed him a full membership when his
special train halted at Glendive for a
few minutes. He accepted and secur-
ed legion button. which he has worn
since.

A PRIVATE'S PRAYER

Private soldiers greatly enjoy this
story:
A popular magazine recently re-
ceived some complaints as to the pic
lures it published and the sentiments
stated under those same illustrations.
A private says: "Our bone of conten-
ton is that you run too many pic
lures of officers as. representing the
American soldier. As matter of fact
we were on the front In action in four
major operations, and during most of
that time we had two officers, some
times three. All other outfits were
equipped in like proportion until after
the war was over and then they is
sued US five. In recent magazine
picture you show twelve soldiers, not
counting a group in the back ground.
OF twelve, six are represented as Of
ficers and the other six enlisted men.
Do you think that is a fair proper
tion?"
"The fellows would like to see you
running pictures of privates, better
known as bucks who brought up the
ammunition for the big barrage, who
built the roads where a goat would
need a guide, and who handled the
'corned willy from ship to the line,
who kept railroads moving and sup
pies coming; who patched up the
wounded and took them to the rear,
and who kept the telephone lines on
the job, and who operated the big
guns for the barrage. and who cooked
the Stun 50 nice and hot and carried
il to the lines. and who went over the
top and down to the creek, who built
bridges over streams. and, in fact,
most any guy who helped do the
trick
Officers were nice for guard
mounts and keen on salutes, dress pa
rades and company for the canteen
workers of the Y. NJ. C. A., but they
did not win the war. Lay off on the
virtues of the pretty officers and talk
a bit about the boys who did the work.
| "One of our fellows went to a city
the other day and applied at a res
taurant for meal, but was informed
that it was for Officers Only Then
he found show, but it was for 'Offc-
ers Only He wanted to dance with
Y. M. c. A. girl, but the dance was
for Officers Only From there he
went to hotel, but it was for 'Offic-
ers Only When he came home that
night | heard him kneel beside his
bunk, and here is what he prayed:
oh, Lord. don't have any more war,
but If you do have another war, have
it for Officers Only"

Members of the Woodmen of the
World had better attend their camp
meetings. A heavy increase in assess
ments was decided on at the last
meeting of the Sovereign Camp, and
we have found to our surprise that
comparatively few members know
anything about it. The increase in
rates will bear heavily on the older
members and probably force many of
them out of the order. 1t is time
they were beginning to sit up and

YOUR HoUsEDREssEs.

Start the summer with enough housedresses. To be sure cottons are high priced. but if you make them yourself or buy them at store where the prices are not exorbitant, the cost should not be prohibitive. If you buy them a size large than your regular them ready made to make sure to get sine. They are sure to shrink and it is almost never that the manufacturer shrinks the materials before the dresses are cut out. If you make your own then you have the advantage in being able to shrink it well beforehand. Even then you must remember that the goods will probably shrink a little more in the third and fourth washing so do not make them a bit scrimpy, but add little for this later shrink age.
 There is one great advantage in the all white wash dress and that is that it can be boiled and dried in the sun without fear of losing color. How many dresses have you had to dis card because they have faded? You know what an unbecoming yellow green becomes toward the end of the season, how brownish the most at tractive violet and blue turns gray and gray turns brown. White cot ton materials dried in the sun and air only become the showier for fre- quent washings.
 On the other hand white does show the least spot very soon, and to the housewife who has to pay for her laundry work by the piece there is certainly disadvantage in this Often a white housedress may be kept for several days simply be removing a single spot or streak as it comes. This can be done with a little warm water and soap applied with a cloth.

PLEATED SKIRT AGAIN.

The return of pleated skirts is well
 come news. There is nothing more becoming Or more useful. and nothing more easily made. Of course the act
 ual pleating must be done by profes-
 sional hands, but then it is only nec-
 essary to run up the skirt at the back and to choose a suitable coat Or tunic to accompany it. The latest thing is the coat of a different material from the skirt, often of a different color. For example, a straight, semi fitted coat of Chinese blue shantung silk to wear with a pleated skirt Of black serge or crepon or with sqirt of black one might wear a Dalmatic tunic-one of those straight up and slim made of thin silk or, for the afternoon, of voile the soie. A famous Paris tailor is making his skirts distinctly longer than those we have been wearing all through the spring. It is certain that the ultra short skirt has never been really popular in England. Over in France they have made a close friend of it, and it must be confessed that the little Parisiennes and the pretty young actresses who throng the Riviera look charming in their extraordinarily short, tight skirts, their immaculate laced boots and their fur trimmed coats
 But now skirts are creeping down inch by inch. Just above the ankles is the correct length at the present moment

Clocks on Socks Useful.

It is surprising how much of the past still remains. more especially in regard to the clothes we wear
 On the backs of most gloves will be found three thin strips. These marks correspond to the fourchette pieces between the fingers. In earlier times gloves were not made so neatly as they are today. and the stitching of the fingers was carried down part Of the way on to the back of the glove, braid being used to conceal the seams.
 To practically similar reason dces the clock on a sock owe it's origin. In the days when stockings were made of cloth the seams occurred where the clocks are now displayed, the decora- ton being utilized to hide the seams.
 The little bow which will invariably be found in the leather band inside a mans hat is a survival of the time when a hat was made by taking a piece of leather, boring two holes through it and drawing it together with a piece of string.
 Handkerchiefs were not always to the user's fancy. It chanced that this irregularity displeaEed Queen Ma rie Antoinette. who suggested one winter evening at Versailles that a uniform shape would be an indication of good taste. The result was a de- cree by Louis XVI. issued in the ear ly days of 11&5, enacting that all pocket handkerchiefs should have right angled edges henceforward.- London Answers.

OUR LOANS TO ALLIES.

Perhaps it was to be expected in view of the huge indebtedness that is faced by the nations of Europe that the suggestion should be made that this country ought not to collect the loans that it has made to the nations with which it has been associated, but whether the idea comes as a surprise or not it is not likely that it will strike a responsive chord in this country.
 This country didn't go into the war for the purpose of conquest. It didn't enter it with the idea that it would collect a great big indemnity. It was moved to do what it did for it's rights and humanity and it went way down deep into it's pocket to see that what was needed was provided. And it didn't confine itself to loaning to it's allies and through it's dollars alone getting the benefit of the fighting which it was able to encourage, but it turned itself into a great war indus trial plant and gave of it's best in ev- erything even to it's young manhood to see that the principles for which it stands were victorious.
 
 lives were lost in the struggle than were lost by other countries that were in the fighting much longer but while the Americans fought they fought va liantly and successfully and unques- tionably served to turn the tide of bat tie. and while it's men were giving up their lives, the financial assistance that it extended was of untold benefit in breaking down the enemy and that help was not given without sacrifice, or taxation much heavier than any other country experienced.
 We have displayed our magnani- nous spirit for oppressed and suffer- ing humanity in many ways but the idea of cancelling the foreign loans can hardly be entertained. In view of the benefits from them those who have received them should give little thought to such a suggestion.

Remote little Iceland has fared more favorably during the war than most European neutrals. says Dr. G. Claes- son, from Reykjavik. who is now wis iting Stockholm. Doctor Claesson is 2 product of modern Iceland, the land not of viking, saga and ieas, myster- ious glacier, snowclad volcano and unsophisticated peasantry. but of uni versity, the most modern surgery. mo torboats and wireless. He is in Stock holm. not to gaze at the tall buildings, but to complete his training in X-ray- work at radium laboratory.
 When trade relations with Scandi- navia were almost -etely broken" !" Doctor Claesson saia, communication ensued with England and America in stead. Our main articles of exports, fish and mutton, found good markets in England and the United States, with which a direct steamship line was established. We have had all along sufficient supplies for the neces- sites of life.

SINKING THE GERMAN SHIPS.

Ever since the German naval vessels were taken over by the allies in &C., cord with one of the provisions of the armistice terms. there has been much said regarding what would be done with the warships. There have been strong advocates of taking the ships out in midocean and sending them 10 the bottom with fitting ceremony, but there have been those among the all lies who have just as strongly opposed any such course, which could not be looked upon otherwise than an abso- lute waste of material, even if the ships could not be regarded as an eco nomical addition to any navy of the allied governments. The opposi- ton was such that no decision had been reached as to what was going to be done, though the advocacy of agree ing on some plan of distribution, or of junking them after removing the arm ament had been quite generally and freely made.
 But while the allies were trying to reach a decision the Germans have apparently taken the matter out of
  arranged scheme those who were left in charge of the ships have opened the seacocks and sent the vessels or the greater part of them to the bottom. This of course disposes of them. un- less it is possible to salvage them, and eliminates one of the difficult ques- tions before the allies. Many of the ships are at the bottom where it has been desired to send them but with them have gone the guns and other material that would have been re- moved according to the British plan.
 There can be no question but what the Germans have outwitted the Brit ish in this matter but it nevertheless calls for thorough investigation and the punishment of those who are re- sponsiblc. From the very fact that the German crews were left in complete control of the vessels indicates neg ligence and just what has been done might well have been anticipated.
