fully, to her friend in the street car.
"They seem to satisfy my sense of the
beautiful and the esthetic. For ex-
amples, I am. wearing my new hat,
which cost me $50. I find a keen de-
light in knowing that people have so
far appreciated my taste as to turn
around and gaze after me. I knew
they were inwardly commenting on
how very becoming it was"
"Perhaps that is the reason, re-
sponded her friend, "but am inclined
to think it was because there is a
$2.9S price mark still hanging to it."

Queer things happen in demobiliza-
ton, remarks a writer in London Eve
ming Standard. For example, here
is the case of Smith and Brown.
Brown is the head of the "one-man
business" Smith is his employee.
Brown applies, successfully, for the
discharge of Smith as a slip" man.
But his own application, on the
ground of "One-man" business, was dis
regarded. Thus Smith is at liberty
without a job; Brown, who had a job
to offer him, is still in khaki.

opinse~s or Lands for Soldiers.

| An Official opinion to ASSemblymar;
Grin Fletcher, La Crosse, by Attorney
General John H. Blaine, disclosed a
| bill of far-reaching Importance for tho
furnishing of soldiers and others OUT
| of employment with lands.
The title of the bill provides for
means "for the ownership of land for
returning soldiers and sailors, honor
| ably discharged, and TO lessen the re-
! suits of unemployment due to condi-
tons after the war and to provide for
the sanitation, drainage, closer settle
ment and public welfare, and for ex-
perimentation in land clearing and
| land settlement"
| By the terms Of the bill as disclosed,
| the state industrial commission shall
conduct hearing and make finding
as to the existence of unemployment.
| If such finding is made by the in
dustrial commission, then a state
board created under the terms of the
Fletcher bill is empowered to pur-
| chase lands for these soldiers and I'M
employed. If it cannot purchase suit
| able lands it may proceed to acquire
such lands as are necessary by con-
demnation.
These lands will then be turned over
to the soldier and unemployed person.
| Improvements will be made on the
lands by the government and the sol
| der or unemployed person will operate
the farm and make payments to the
ont fIn or
Such measure was held to be consti-
tutional by Attorney General Blaine.
Assuming that the bill in its final
draft has for it's purpose the relief of
distress and to prevent and minimize
unemployment, then the bill clearly
poses," says Attorney General Blaine.
Neither does the proposed bill give or
loan the credit Of the state in aid or
an individual within the meaning OF
section 3, article 8 Of the constitu-
ton, for the reason that it's main pur-
pose is to relieve distress and prevent
or minimize unemployment, which pur-
poses affect the public safety and well
fare, and includes the essential func-
tons Of government whose exercise,
from time to time, must be covered by
the needs of the community.
81 also assume that it is not the pur-
pose of the bill to contract public debts
in the aggregate exceeding 100000,
and if such is the provision of the bill
in it's final draft then it does not vio-
late section Of article Of the con-
stitution, and therefore cannot vio-
late section 4 of said article s.
Therefore, it is my conclusion with
respect to that, portion of the atll
which I have been considering, ASSUME
ing that in the redraft thereof the pur-
poses of the bill will be to relieve dis
tress and prevent or minimize unem-
ployment, and assuming also that in
it's final draft the bill will prescribe a
legislative rule to effect the above
mentioned purpose, leaving only de-
termination of the facts to be made by
an administrative board, that such
bill, if enacted into law would be con-
stitutional, and that the legislature
has, under the police powers of the
state, the constitutional authority to
provide for the public safety and well
fare along the broad principles set
forth in the. proposed BILL"

Soldiers and the BattlefieIds.

Battlefield touring, curiously enough,
seems to be becoming popular
among the troops in France as a
means Of passing the time until gen
eral rehabilitation is ordered. The
soldiers are invariably interested in
the sectors of the front other than
those which were scenes of their own
exploits. A system of short leaves
has been authorized, and lorries de-
rallied for the tours. Ypres, Mes
sines, Arras and Albert are easily
first as sightseeing centers, but places
of lesser fame, such as Boesinghe and
Wood 10 Bots Grenier, Combles and
La Prize farm, Ephey and Bousies, are
all claiming their crowds.
