America and Europe

"Americans are interested In the restora-
tion Of Europe and are very willing to assist IN
any reasonable way to bring about the revivai
over there Asking them to lend their creoll
and their market, both their productive power
and the consuming capacity, to Build up ruined
Europe that a group of eastern promoters may
profit as a result is putting too heavy demand
on our altruism. Europe's credit will be re-
stored when its people give over their petty po-
littcal squabbles and civil wars, and get down
to work."-Onaha Bee.
This country ought not to be asked to go
to unreasonable lengths in the restoration OF
Europe though, of course, we are willing to
do al we should. It is the duty of Americans
to give sor,e thought to their own needs and
il is the business of European nations to stop
fighting and engage in productive work in
stead Of expecting US to do everything After
four years of war it would seem that every
European should be ready to resume construc-
tive work Restoration of oldtime conditions
can not be brought about in one year, but a
rood beginning can be made. Let it be under
stood that America proposes to help only those
who are ready to do something for them
selves. and it is probable that many who are
now inclined to idle will see the point and set
tie down to work 1t is mistake on our part
to allow the impression to get abroad that the
generosity and resources of the United States
are unlimited and that every applicant can get
what he wants for the asking This fact is well
put in Mr.. Hoover's summary OF the food sit
uation.-Providence Journal.

actually the power she is vicariously. The
housemald enjoys delegated authority; woman
of the house. And now neither the mistress
nor the maid wants it.
Compromises there will be. Hours will be
fixed There will be understandings between
the parlor and the kitchen; nights out, gentle
men friends, overtime.
But that won't settle it. The maids are on
their way. There must be more compromise.
The wife will demand that the new energy must

clouds and fetch us new power. New Curies
must reach into earth and extract new radiums.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Nov. 6.-To

have a young daughter in the place
she writes Of She was sentenced
to three years and she has served
16 4 months. My husband went
down there lately and pleaded with
the superintendent to let her come
home, but "No." You might as well
plead with a stone wall. The girl
never did anything that she should
be put for three years in a place like
that for.
I have young boy in Anamosa,

young boy to five years imprison-
ment for throwing keg of wine off
a car. They wouldn't have done 1t
Of their own accord, but were hired
by a bootlegger. This bootlegger
made several thousand dollars, but
he was never arrested once for boot
logging. So much for justice.
I received a letter from Tom, my
boy, today. and he said that Ne was
only II when sent, but that he was
25 now. He has been there year

that Byron Michael, the 12-year-
old Beatrice boy, won't have to put

National Policy of Forestry.

One of the plans The Bee has often urged
on the people of Nebraska which will yet come
to be adopted, looks to the afforestration of
great expanse of waste lands in the sandhill
district. The idea back of this finds expression
in the proposal of Charles Lathrop Pack, head
of the American Forestry association, that
national move in the direction be set on foot as
an appropriate memorial to Theodore Roose-
velt.
No president felt the impulse more than he,
nor did any understand 50 we'll the benefits to
come from the proper administration Of such a
policy. Grover Cleveland gave life and vigor
to land policy that Roosevelt brought to its
ultimate service, yet II was the strenuous one
who could vision an America denuded of its
wonderful timber growth. His conservation
ideas did not get the encouragement they
should; the public was not then responsive to
the appeal, but some progress has been made
Under his successors more definite efforts have
been put forth to save portion of the natural
wealth of the country for its people, but these
have not as yet taken satisfactory form.
The Pack suggestion does not lay so much
stress on conservation as it does on repro
ducton. 1t will not prevent the reasonable
use of forests standing but looks to their sys-
tematic replacement by replanting Valuable
timber may be brought from seedlings within =
generation; the marvellous frs and pines Of
the northwest, the giant oaks and hickories, the
wanuts and the elms OF the Mississippi valley,
and the other wonders of the forests now gone
or fast going, can not be restored in less than
centuries.
But the Maryland and Virginia peninsuas
show what may be done within lifetime.
What has happened there can be duplicated in
Nebraska, in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and other
places throughout the land. The future de-
mand for timber may not be equal to that Of
today; it certainly will not be so satisfied, but
the present generation can well endow the
future inhabitants of the land by taking steps
to give them something in the way Of standing
timber.

And that is why the woodpeckcr
pecks. He pecks that he may eat
and he eats the wood-boring insects
that destroy the fruit and forest
trees, so he is pecking in your in
terest and mine as we'll as his own.
He also pecks to enlarge-or make
"a hole where he can put his nest.
The hungry, little worker has
three perfect tools always ready for
use. First there are his very keen
ears, which tell him without fail
exactly where to find the grub or
the wood-boring beetle and its
larvae hidden away in the wood
under the bark. Next he has a
beak which is perfect, little chisel,
wedge-shaped at the tip, strong and
sharp. This he uses to drill hole
directly over the insect his ears have
located; a hole that looks as if made
by giinlet. The last of his three
tools is his tongue and a most re-
markable tongue it proves to be. 1t
is very long and stretches far be-
yond the point of his beak. The
tip is hard and horny and is pro-
vided with hooks slanting backward
like those on a harpoon.
This long tongue the woodpecker
uses to thrust down into the small,
deep hole he has excavated Che

and to drag out on its hooks the

is fattening on the life of the tree.

A Code Of Manners for Books.
BY Isabel W. Clayton.
Francia w Parker School

BY Isabel W. Clayton.
Francis W. Parker School
Just as there is a code of manners
of behavior, there is one for books.
Do you know and use it?
Do not hurriedly open a new
book. Instead lay it on a table or
fiat surface, grasp the pages in one
hand and with the other gently push
the covers down. Then press a few
leaves down, first in the front and
then in the back. Do this until all
have been pressed down. This
softens the back and prevents it
from breaking.
Never use anything thicker than a
piece of paper for bookmark. Do
not turn the book over on its face;
do not turn leaf down or place a
pencil or pencil mark in the book to
mark the place.
Keep your books clean. Do not
touch them when your hands are
soiled. Do not turn the pages with
4 moisteaed thumb. 1t leaves mark
which is hard to remove.
When the cover has become soiled,
clean it with finely powdered pumice
stone rubbed in with soft cloth.
Soiled pages may also be cleaned
with the pumice stone or with art
