It appears Mr.. Doughboy has more
time to himself in the British Isles

to British girls than to French girls.

WORRIES OVER NO "McKs"
Business Seems to Be Slack With st
Louis Complaint Board.

The city of ST. Louis is expendine
$500 o year to maintain complaint
board, whose business is to take care
of all complaints St. Louisans wish to
make. But the board has begun to
worry. There have been 10 COM
plants, nobody even kicking about
the amount of money spent to keep
the board.
The complaint board has issued a
system of complaint postcard books
with blank forE,s on which kicks will
be made, and these have been dis
tributed throughout the city in aa
effort to stimulate the kickers. All
civic organizations who formerly did
so much kicking will receive these
postcard books, and the complaint
board is hoping that the public gets
busy and comes along with some
kicks.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES HOLD
AN IMPORTANT MEETING

There were II trustees present
Saturday in spite of the rain. The
trustees were very much interested IN
the matter of giving the pupils of their
districts the benefit of full years in
struction. The resolutions which the
teachers drew up at their meeting last
Saturday were read and discussed.
Those trustees present, being from
the rural schools, did not favor Satur-
day teaching. They did favor, how
ever, making up the loss which was
caused by the influenza. The idea OF
lengthening the term at the end of the
regular session was discussed and
the trustees favored it unanimously.
Where the term cannot be lengthened
at the end of the session in May or
June on account of farm work, the
trustees favored a summer session.
There dre some communities in which
the pupils do s great part OF the farm
work and thu summer session is the
only way to meka up any m'rk.
The question of paying the teach
ers came uo and all those present fav
ored cooperaiii$ with the teachers
aad seeing that they sustained no fl
nancial loss on account of making up
work. The two meetings, one of the
teachers and one of the trustees, have

slow with his postal service at the
front, and Mrs. Doughboy in England,
ireland and Scotland became very
much worried. They asked tho con-
sular authorities about Mr.. DouShboys 8
whereabouts. and that's just where the
trouble started.
Uncle Sam, to whom said consular
authorities are more or less resp"n-
sible. thought he had some claim on
Mr.. Doughboy, since he had fitted MN
out with Il brand new uniform, XIII
ETC.: paid his expenses over here, ana
even gave him spending money. But
Mrs. Doughboy protested that she had
first claim, and so the authorities have
been as busy as q marrying pnrson
of Hoboken, n. J.. adjusting matters in
q manner that would not interfere
with Uncle Sans business in Europe
and at the same time would relieve
the anxiety of the many young women
who have hopes of residing in the near
fu.ure in America.
Most Serious in Scotland.
Scotland, however, has produced
the most serious problem to solve.
Hundreds of wee lassies there say
they took Mr.. Doughboy at his word.
Apparently that's all that's neces'
sary ir Scotland. according to law.
While the Scotch girls do not
doubt the sincerity of Mr.. Doushboy,
tho fact that their mail has been so
irregular since he left, also that the
arnistice has been signed and soon
he'll be returning to America, has
caused them to inquire just where they
stand. And the American consular
representatives are burning the mid
night oil. blocking the telegraph and
cable lines, exceeding the typewriter
speed limit and nursing aching heads
to find out all about it for all con-
cerned.

WOMEN FRANCES HOPE. NOT
THE POLITICIANS.

France and all it means must be
nestored for the sake of civilization
and it is the French women who
must mainly do it, not the politicians,
declares Ida M. Tarbell in the June
member of the New Red Cross Maya
zine.
Let the politicians do their best
or worst" the writer continues, cit
it not they that will lift and save
France. 1t has got to be done from
the bottom, down where people live
in love and labor. And it is the wo-
men who will play the chief part
there. Their task in the peace
which has come is not unlike that of
the poilu in the war that is past.
they come to this work with the most
terrible handicaps."
The handicaps, Miss Tarbell finds,
are not merely the fact that France
has been stripped of the flower of its
manhood while thousands Of others
have come back from the war mutt
lated for life, but also include the
problems of employment. Many of
the women who went into munition
plants will not return to their old
work, some because they have been
rendered unfit, some because they
have succumbed to the innumerable
lures of Paris, some because there is
not work for them. There is the
principle rub. But, concludes the
writer, it is the handicaps which
force them TO their big task.

WANT NAME KENTUCKY" FOR

vision, held in the city of Henderson,
Kentucky, it was moved by Mr.. j. j.
Blum, of Louisville, and seconded by
Mr.. Frank K. Yost, of Hopkinsville,

the request of the Honorable Secre-
tary Of the Navy to retire the old
battleship Kentucky, and to apply
the name Kentucky to a new and
modern battleship now building, or
to be laid in the near future.
1t was always a matter of pride
to the people of Kentucky to have
the name of their old and loyal State
carried by a ship which was conspic-
uous in its day for service and mark
manship, as was the present Ken
lucky" and now, that the old ship
has served her time, and is practical
ly relegated to the, back ground, il
is generally felt that the Common
wealth should have better repre-
sentative to fly her flag and that Of

CE1vING VOCATIONAL
TRAINING

During the last three months s.
735 disabled soldiers in Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky applied for some form
of vocational training to fit them for
future usefulness, according to the
aetest monthly report to Congress
made by the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education
American Red Cross Service work
ers report that soldier boys in almost
every city and town in the three
States are studying some new pro-
fession or trade which will make it
possible for them to earn in most
cases more money than they were
able to make before the war. In
training the disabled men the Fed
eral Board makes use of schools
nearest the soldiers home to supply
the kind of education he desires.
Everything from barbering to law is
included in the category of studies

GENTRY CIRCUS PLEASES

The two performances given in
Paris, Tuesday, by the Gentry Bros.
Circus pleased large and appreciative
audiences. The various acts were
up-to-date and full of surprises. The
show was a clean and well-managed
one, and far better than in former
years.
Hundreds of people waited patti
emily for several hours Tuesday
morning for the street parade. 1t
had been reported that on account Of
the extra license required for giving
a circus parade this feature would
be abandoned, but rumor proved
false. The street exhibition was a
very creditable one.

In the, course of a lecture given in
February last, Prof. Oliver Lodge
triedt o make his audience under
stand how small are the ultimate
particles into which matter is d.
vided.
As most of us are aware, matter,
whether air, water, iron or our own
bodies, is composed Of molecules,
each of which is built UP of atoms of
various elements. The molecules of
water, for instance, are made of two
atoms of hydrogen combined with one
of oxygen, and the chemical form
ula is therefore. H2, o.
The professor showed a small glass
bulb. about the size of on egg spoon.
This" he said, lis full Of air. Now,
to give you some idea of the number
of molecules in this small quantity
of air, will tell you that, if / could
release the molecules at the rate of
100000 a second, it would take
about 200 years for them all to es-
caps and leave the bulb empty.
But neither the molecule nor the
atom are, so far as we know, the
smallest particles in existence. Each
atom is built up on IONS"
Built UP is. perhaps, not quite the
right phase to use.
We must imagine each atom as a
little solar system of its own with
these unimaginary tiny atoms whirl-
ing around one another in their ap-
pointed courses, just as the various
members of our own solar system,
the planets, the astriods and the
comets travel in their appointed
courses around the center of the sys-
TEN, the sun
So at every breath you draw, with
every movement you make, you are
disturbing countless millions of tiny
solar system. You may be said to be
breathing, moving, swimming in
stars.
