employments in q time when the value of
mans services was measured by the
extent of his contribution to the destruc-
tive work Of war. Teachers and minis
ters have merely constructive mission
in life, and for that reason they now
range among the lowest-paid workers.
Those who direct the public education
system say with truth that they haven't
money to raise teachers salaries. But
the statement has a ring of complacency.
Church organizations show little sign of
distress because of their inability to pay
the ministers living wage. These
aren't encouraging signs in time when
the world is hoping to find an answer to
its riddles in the spirits of men and when
all sorts Of people are beginning to real
ze that only knowledge can sustain the

THE SOLDIERS JOB

TT HAS been apparent from the first
that there was tinge Of hysteria in
sthe prophecies of extensive unemploy-
ment in the United States. Europe will
be PROSTATE for long time. That is
not a condition by which we would
gladly prosper. But it is a condition,
nevertheless. which, if it does no more,
will compel the United States to create
in its own industries many Of the COM
modities which formerly came from the
other side.
The later Investigations Of the Federal
Employment Service appear to explain
the real beginning Of those depressing
rumors relative to jobless soldiers. and
the explanation is cheering in many
ways.
Soldiers it appears, aren't satisfied
always to return to their own old jobs,
for the simple reason that the discipline
and training of the army has given them
new ambitions and new desires. Many
were made skillful in various trades for
merly unfamiliar. Others were taught
to read and write English and still 9TH
ers were started in lines of work that
they wish to continue. Almost all of
them came out of the service with cleaner
views and more resolute spirits.
There is likelihood that the quicken
ing industry of the United States will
find places for all these men before long.
We shall have need of skill and ambition
and intelligence for the great tasks that
are now opening up before the business
men of the country.

YOU CAN'T EAT PAPER

BECAUSE some retailers compel the
purchaser 10 pay from forty to sixty
cents pound for certain prepared meats,
including the paper wrapped about them
by the packers, the consumer pays the
price of meat for paper which he cannot
eat. There is about half pound of this
stuff on a ten-pound ham. which at cur
rent prices costs the consumer about
twenty cents.
When the purchaser protests the re-
taller says that he has TO pay for the
wrappings at the price of meat and must
\ sell them or lose money.
L If the Bureau of Weights and Meas
ufes can persuade the Legislature 10
pass a bill which it has drafted making
il an offense to include the wrappings in
the weight of the meat the householders
win rise up and call it blessed. 1t is
burdensome enough to pay forty cents a
pound for ham and fifty or sixty cents
. pound for bacon without being COM
pelled TO pay at the same rate for lot
Of paper which must be thrown away.

SPRING AND GASOLINE

A UTOMOBILE salons such as that
(which is revealing its glamours in
Philadelphia this week are usually timed
to the advent of spring, the season of
hope. For every one who doesn't already
ride on rubber tires yearns to do so--and
probably will
The motorcar industry is not troubled
by the stresses and confusions precedent
to peace. It is transcendent. And that
is because it gives a man an amazing
lot Of happiness and satisfaction for his
money and contributes vastly to the
health of his spirit. The miraculous
vogue of automobiles is easily explained.
An automobile renews wonder. 1t gives
a man something to play with and
thereby renews his youth.
Airpanes will never displace motor
cars, because an air machine is tricky
and treacherous, while motor on wheels
is the embodiment Of gracious obedience.
And it is more faithful than dog. Most
drivers wonder why their machines go at
all. The everyday automobile is a mira
Gle of consistency. 1t is neglected, mis-
used under inexpert hands, joy-ridden,
bumped against telegraph poles and
trolley cars, and yet it rises up fresh
each morning and proceeds nimby to
the days work. Those who curse the
devl-wagon do it a great injustice.
They should curse the perversity of hu-
man nature, because a motorcar left to
itself will stand forever at a curb and
hurt no one. If it speeds and does dam
age, it is only because it is being domi-
mated by defective human intelligence.
Any old devil-wagon gives stimulus to
the imagination of the man who drives
it because there isn't one driver in a
thousand who can sit down and tell you
why the thing goes. Most Of the persons
who ride in automobiles have, therefore,
the happy sense of moving always in
the arms of mystery They own all out
doors. Naturally, the motor fanatic
holds his car in affection and lies shame
lessly about its prowess, its elan and its
burly defiance of hills. No driver of an
automobile ever tells all the truth about
his car. His sense of gratitude is toe
great.

THE COLOR SKETCH

DOwN through the mists from the azure
- blue
Reached the Hand of God and a picture
drew.
1t sketched the world in the grip of Thor
And boldly pictured the hell of war
Heaps of dead in the captured trench,
Yankee, Briton, Hun and French;
Horses gutted in ghastly fray,
Men with their faces shot away;
Fallen braves like the sickled grain,
A harvest leveled by leaden rain;
Shrapnel canister, chain and grape,
Wanton murder and fiendish rape;
Fatherless homes where grief and strife
Dwarf the vision of future life -
And over all portentous cloud
The widows mourning, the soldiers shroud
Then with brush of rainbow hair
The Master Hand spread the color there
Breath of the gun, an Opaque gray;
Crimson glow of the dying day;
Purple stains of pilage and pelf;
Black, the blackness of death itself:
Grass In its shades of green and tan,
Dyed by the red of slaughtered man;
Yellow streak of the cowardly flight,
Bleaching carcass Of sickening white;
Tones discordant when seen too near,
Composition all out of gear;
But carried away from present fears
Viewed from a distance of fifty years,
In perfect harmony, bright and fair,
Will Liberty stand depicted there
