WITHDRAWING

The little war brides in England
show no inclination to settle down
to the routine Of home-making. To
induce them to do so. the ministry OF
labor proposes to establish schools
where these young wives may learn
pleasant and practical methods OF
housekeeping, how to care for their
babies, and how to apportion the
husbands income so THAI 1t may
provide for the family and obviate
the necessity for the wife's work.

II is estimated that about 400. 900
English girls married during the
war. OF these by far the greater
number were munition workers.
They were fed and housed In can
teens and hotels provided especially
for the purpose and learned nothing
of domestic art. They we're too
busy helping to provide the ammu-
milton for their husbands in the
field. About 100000 of these wives
have no children. and 1t Is Of vital
importance to England that they set

Federal Highway Aid.

A letter issued by the patrol commit
tee of Vermont and circulated among its
members contains some statements that
if correct, would arouse great indigna-
tion among the people of Vermont. Here
are the statements;
THE government has appropriated
millions of dollars since 1916 to- aid
states in road building, and Vermont has
not had cent of that money. The gov
eminent pays half the cost Of roads built
according to government requirements
All the southern states are taking ad
vantage of this act and are getting a
dollars worth of road for fifty cents
We are helping to pay for these roads
and II is time we got our share.
The appropriations only run until 1921
so we must do it now"
The trouble with these statements is
that they are not true. Vermont has
passed a federal aid act, has prepared
several road projects in accordance with
both the federal and state laws, has com.
pleted some Of these projects and has
actually received some federal money on
these projects While the federal law
provides federal appropriations until
1921, ii further provides that any un.
expended portion of a years appropria.
ton can be used in the following year OF
within reasonable time thereafter.
The records in the Offices of the high.
way commissioner and the state engi
neer's office show that the state treasur.
er has received from the federal govern

Our Order Of Nobility.

Word from England says distinguished
army and navy commanders are to be
raised to the peerage and given substan-
tial grants of money, amounting in some
cases to comfortable fortunes. This is
Britain's traditional way Of rewarding
her military heroes and indeed men OF
signal achievements in civil life. 1t Is
said that several statesmen who have
borne the brunt of the burden during the
last four years are to be similarly hon
ored with titles of nobility. In times
past our own countrymen have been ac-
cused by foreign critics of undue devo-
ton to the dollar. We have been charged
with making the acquisition of wealth
the great aim of our national existence
Because of our exceeding prosperity our
nation has been held up as an example
of Grass materialism. Money has been
supposed to be the handspring of our
chief motives, And yet nobody is pro
posing to bestow rewards upon the lead
ers of our cause in the recent war What
would be the answer of one Of our dollar
a.vear men to an offer of a money testi-
monial? 1t would doubtless be more EN-.
phatic than polite.
mT. Hoover Is conspicuous eAdluplt

England there would probably be move
ment afoot to make him duke Of Wash
ington, with a 100000 grant from the
public treasury to maintain his new dig.
n.ty. We have an order of nobility in
this country, but it is one established by
the public sentiment and esteem and not
by law. 1t is founded on service to coun.
try and community and its membership
has received large additions since April
1917. We should delight to pay honor to
these noblemen and noblewomen. They
deserve our fullest tribute of respect and
admiration. --Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele.
