VETERANS Or
GANIZATION

In every state in the Union Or
CARNATIONS are being formed of the
men who served with the stars and
stripes in the war against Germany,
soldiers, sailors and marines, officers
and enlisted men. Eventually the
bond will gather up local associations
down to the smallest counties in the
land. Considering the vastness of
our recent army, and the unparal-
leled educational side Of modern
army service, 1t is not easy to place
any limits to the good effects due
from such q national movement.
Old scores will be forgotten. "Top"
seregants will be received as friends.

lieve that this here peace conference
is going TO last a whole lot longer
than six months, Abe, and if Mr..
Wilson keeps on going home and
coming back, maybe the first time
he goes back, he would get some
little newspaper publicity out of il.
and second time also perhaps,
but on the third time when he re-
turns from France, only the demo-
cratic newspapers would give him
more as half a column about il, and
later on when he lands from his
third 10 tenth trips inclusive, all the
notice the papers would take from il
would be that in the ships news on
the ninth page there would be a few
lines saying that among those re-

that the big majority Of newspaper

Return of the Golf Widow

During the war the great majority
OF golfers who were ineligible or too
old for military service gave up their
golf, many because they were preoc-
cupied with work, many because their
golf courses were not kept up, many
because they had not the moral cour-
age to appear in public with golf clubs.
Thousands of golf widows were thus
married again to their former hus-
bands. and fOolishly hoped to live hap
PLY ever afterward, says "T. B." in
the London Daily Mail. The remar-
ried golf widows are again bereaved.
Their late lamented husbands have
once more departed for the happy
hunting grounds-of the little white
ball. The corporal shapes of their
husbands indeed appear in their homes
to eat and sleep with a new heavi-
messy or to practice putting on the
drawing-room carpet in frost-bound
weather. But they are only phantom
husbands. Their only mundane inter-
ests are the golf articles in the daily
papers. Sometimes they bring other
wOmen's ghost husbands home to din
ner, and then they talk golf.

Pneumatic Milk Tubes

During court inquiry into the higf
cost Of milk at New York the sug
gestion was made that pneumatic
tubes, formerly used in the mail serv
ice, be utilized to distribute milk to
various sections of the city. The use
Of the pneumatic distributor was de.
clared to be far more economical than
the present methods, thus bearing di.
dectly upon the cost Of milk, the SUBJ
ject of the inquiry. 1t is not the
plan, however. of the persons suggest
ing the idea that the milk is to run
through the tubes In streams. In
stead carriers of metal are to be EN-.
ployed to convey under high air press
ure several bottles of milk at a time.
These carriers are to hold six quart
bottles or ten pint bottles, and the ca
pacity of tube is said to be one car
rier every six seconds.

United States Honey crop.

The honey crop of the United States
for 1918 having been placed by the de.
partment of agriculture at about $50.
100000 pounds, American Botanist es-
Inmates that as the nectar of flowers
does not become honey until worked
over and partly evaporated the bees
must move as much as 10000 tons of
material to produce this crop, exclu-
sive of the honey eaten by themselves.
OF this produce about one-half is from
the nectar of white clover, with two
other leguminous plants-alfalfa and
sweet clover-as the next important
sources. A honey that can be recog.
nized is produced by few plants, in

$50 for a Kew

A sign of the times is the advertise.
ment which appeared few days ago
In the Birmingham (Eng.) Post. $50
offered for the key of a house on the
Hagley or Bristol roads. This sort of
inducement has been common enough
In regard to small house property, but
this is the first time such an an
nouncement has applied to a house In
the more opulent quarter Of the city.
Before the war there were many
empty houses on the Hagley and Bris-
tol roads, and 1t seemed as If the old
time fashionable suburb was losing
its pre-eminence. And 1t is not mere
ly an ephemeral demand. Houses are
willingly taken on long leases, very
different from the short terms on
which tenants insisted five years ago.

KEEP Old TRAVELLING BAGS
ss'esmen Almost Unit in Belief That
There is Good Luck in Bat
tered Grips.

Ever notice how worn and battered
are travelling mems grips and bags?
The knight of the road who tells Won
that he made 5000 out of commits
slons alone last year" is likely to have
a grip that would cause shame even
to debt-hOunded clerk.
The reason? Superstition. It's bad
luck to change travelling bags.
"A travelling man will cling TO tbe
same old bag as long as the handles
stay on it and it will hold together"
said veteran travelling man. II had
only two travelling bags in % years
on the road. You'll often see an old
salesman with the same grip he start
ed out with. He'll have it repaired
and pieced together time after time
using strings or straps if necessary to
Keep 1t from falling apart"
Another superstition of the men who
sell goods is that it is bad luck to be
the hrst to sign hotel register. If a
travelling man comes in early in the
day and finds nobody ahead of him on
the register he will hang around the
lobby, nervously waiting for somebody
to come in and put down his signature
on that register. Many hotel clerks
Know this trait Of their patrons and
VIII say: "YOu can sign later, Mr..
So-and-SO. Wen give you a room and
remember it till somebody else comes
in"
Few travelling statesmen like to do
any work on Sunday. It's another su-
perstltion. If one sells a bill of goods |
on Sunday, the belief is, he will lose
day that week. He won't gain by |
IL. Either he will find some of his ex-
pected customers away or his train will
be late or something equally unfOrtu-
nate will happen.
They believe, too, in the old adage
that bad beginning means a good
ending"
IF travelling man starts out his
trip with some big sales he will be
absolutely convinced that the finish
Will be poor" said the veteran. "And
II he doesn't make any sales to speak
or the first few days he will be the
most hopeful and cheerful chap In the
world. Means big windup."
