NAVY AND LEAGt f.

Last winter Mr.. Daniels WAS
accused of trying to bully the
peace conference into adopting
the League OF Nations by asking
Congress for Il very large in
crease in the construction Of the
navy. Now he is accused OF
bullying Congress by withdraw
ing this program of naval CON
>uuction to cover the next three
wears. on the ground that the
League Of Nations viii obviate
the need of a great navy.
Well. il will. will il not? The
Administration is not trying to
bully Congress now. and il was
not trying to bully the peace
conference last winter. II was
simply undertaking on both oc-
casionS To deal with the Situa-
ton then existing in accordance
with common sense. OF course.
this provides a Very strong algu-
ment in favor Of the League Of
Nations. and leaves one in doubt
whether the opponents Of the
League are more foolish than
criminal. or more criminal than
foolish.
For nobody can doubt that if
there shall he no restraint upon
wal every country must depend
upon It's own resources for its
safety. and it must maintain rs
big an army and navy a, il has
the means of paying ior On the
other hand. ii - nations. and
possibly more. shall unite in an
agreement TO prevent amy nation
from plunging into war before
ii shall have exhausted dlplom-
acy. negotiation and arbitration.
then the danger of our being
Obliged to fight is reduced to
very small proportions, and we
need not make a considerable
addition TO our navy.
OF course. this is a strong
argument for the League Of
Nations. 1t is a visible demon
>tration OF the benefits Of the
League. But it is not bullying
the peace conference or Con
greSS: ii is not threatening any
body it is merely a recognition
OF the fact that there will. or will
not. be an occasion for keeping
ourselves thoroughly armed. De-
feat the League OF Nations, and
We must have a navy big enough
for any contingency.-Phlladel-

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.

President Wilson has said |
doubt if many good by-productS
can come out OF war, hut ii out
OF this war our people learn to
save. the war viii he worth all il
has cost in money and materials.
And it is generally agreed
that one Of the best ways to
reach the people is through the
children.
In the Fifth Federal Reserve
District a banking plan has been
invented to simplify the teachers
part OF the SavingS-bank system.
Teachers everywhere reported
difficulty in keeping records OF
the small change turned over 10
them in savings for thrift
stamps. Various methods We're
tried until the penny savings
book was devised. For every
cent deposited the teacher
stamps in the book miniature
picture OF Franklin. with the
reminder "A penny saved.
When twenty-five penny pay
mentS have been made in this
manner the pictures are can
celled. in exchange for a Thrift
Stamp. Pupils are urged TO
bring savings accounts to a point
where they can purchase at least
one Wan Savings Stamp. bearing
interest. The lesson taught by a
nation wide distribution Of
stamps is considered OF even
more Importance than the num-
her of stamps sold.
The penny savings book IS a
constant inspiration to the child
70 save. Between its covers, in
addition 10 the space set aside
fol the penny receipts, are mes
sageS from Carter Glass. Secre-
tary OF the Treasury. and from
Uncle Sam. Simple language is
used in urging the child to save.
What do YOU want 10 be when
YOU grow up" Is one Of the ap-
peals to the child.
You want to be somebody,
and YOU want 10 be somebody
important. don't you? Then you
must begin to save money, That
is what all rich and successful
and important men and women
in the world have done
Saving is encouraged Is a
means to an end boarded money
means no good to anybody il is
explained. The child Is asked
TO put away the pennies for a
summer camping trip, a college
education or any one OF the
thousand and one things that
growing boys and girls dream Of.
A sound thrift message in last
ing form is thus put into the
hands of the children in an at
tractive manner. The interest
of the parents is found to be
stimulated by the observance Of
the thrift habit in the younger
members of the family.
The War Loan Organization
of the Fifth Federal Reserve
District has adopted as its goal,
in the savings campaign, "A war
savings society in every class
room" This. of course. is the
simplest and most direct way of
teaching the children-future
citizens 1.-THE habit of thrift of
intelligent saving. and of careful
investing"

shattering all former Kansas records.
and bringing into the state an amount
of money, guaranteed by the govern
ment, which you can figure for your
self.
1t does not follow as a certainty
that the government is going to lose
on this wheat which it is pledged to
buy at two-twenty. There are many
who think it will not. 1t is true that
if the 1919 crop were sold in an uncon-
trolled market the farmer would pro-
badly get a good deal less than this
guaranteed price for it. But there is
reason to believe that the world food
situation being what it is, the govern
ment can taRe this wheat at two
twenty, and get its money back. For
the 1918 crop is about gone, and the
greater part of the world is still short
of food stuffs.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIT KRIS ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: When ] was
attending school, four years ago, l had
one girl friend whome l liked better
than all the rest. We remained friends
after graduating from school and l
thought nothing could come between
US.
At the beginning of the war young
man lived at our house. One evening
when he was at home my girl friend
came over to see me and they me-.
He liked her at first sight and that
night made a date with her. They
went together until he was drafted and
went to camp. There was no engage
ment between them.
Later he came here on furlo, but
did not stay long, and spent his time
with a young man he had met at
camp. While there he met and fell
in love with the young mans sister.
He came on furlo twice after that, but

"A short time ago he returned from
France and invited me to his wedding.
The news that he was to marry was
entirely unexpected. 1 went to the
wedding. Now my girl friend says
that out of loyalty to her 1 should
have refused the invitation. 1 have
told her 1 am sorry that 1 did some
thing to displease her. but she will not
forgive me.
What can do? I will do anything
to regain here friendship.

to meet her halfway when she shows
signs of being friendly. again, but do
nothing further to bring about a
reconciliation. She would have gone
to the wedding If she had been in your
place. You have already done more

Dear Mrs. Thompson. I have a pair
of gray shoes. After wearing them
once when I had on rubbers, from
rubbing, the bottom of the shoes seem
to have turned lighter. What can I
put on them to make them the same
color2 ANNA r.
Get a gray cleaner at the shoe store
where you bought the shoes. This
will probably restore the color, but il
it does not, you will have to have the
shoes dyed.
