BOMBAY. OCTOBER IS. 1919.
During the days preceding July


During the days preceding July /
some of the mourners were predicting
that the boozeless banquets predicted
for the future would be funeral affairs
with crepe on the chandeliers and a
general air of gloom. A banquet
without a pair of cocktails under the
belt ahead of the soup and the siz-
zing effects of a pint or more of fizz
along in the middle of the menu was
going to be a drape affair TO be avoided
like smallpox or bubonic plague. The
New York hotel proprietors, however,
are authority for the statement that
prohibition has had no depressing ef-
feet upon the popularity of the ban
Quet. Some of the more popular
houses are now receiving more appli-
cations for reservations than ever be-
fore. The hotel men are just as much
surprised over the result as persons
outside the business The prohibi-
tionists have not yet had the privilege
of walking upon John Barleycorn g
grave but there is increasing evi-
dence that the old reprobate hasn't a
leg 10 stand upon and that his
crutches are webbing.

Considerable OF real value should
eventually result TO the people of this
state through the appointment of two
expert foresters to the Vermont de
partment of forestry. The young men
Percy H. Merrill and H. E. Grupe, are
from the University of Syracuse and
both saw service overseas with the
forest engineers. Their experience
and observation of European methods
in forestry should be of no little bene
fie in the work they are TO undertake
in Vermont We might just as well
begin TO realize now instead of later
that we must abandon many OF thu
wasteful methods of timber cutting
that have prevailed all over the coun
try since the days of the early set
tiers. To be sure, we have ceased cut
| ting and burning trees in order to
clear the land hut our numbering oper
atoms today are characterized by
waste and destruction There is ne
such word as economy in the lumber
mans dictionary. His governing idea
lis to take as much timber from a Civ
EN- section of land as quickly and as
easily as 1t can be placed at the mill.
Small trees are cut and no care is
taken to prevent the destruction OF
saplings when the timber is felled
Brush and tops are left so that fires
complete the scheme of utter waste.
The leaf mould burns with the fires
and the land becomes so barren that
not even trees will start on it again
until after a lapse of years There
are thousands OF acres of land on the
upper slopes of the mountains in this
state that will grow little else than
trees and future generations are en-
titled to the use of them for this pur'
pose The present high cost of lum-
Der to a certain extent is due to the
wasteful methods that have been used
in dealing with one of our great ma
tural resources. There is hardly a
community in the state that is not
faced with a serious housing problem
because of the lack of building. We
are paying the penalty of thoughtless-
ness but there is no reason why we
should continue the causes that have
brought about the condition.

KEEP A HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
Without Employment of Good
Business Methods.

II must be admitted that business
system is desirable In the home, for
the very good and simple reason that,
manifestly you cannot carry on sue
cessfully any kind of business without
more or less bookkeeping, writes Carl
Marshall in Thrift. But often you will
hear some easygoing housekeeper say :
That's too much trouble; have
enough other things to do without
bothering with accounts. Besides,
what's the use? 1t costs you just so
much to live anyway, and keeping ac-
counts won't make the amount any
less"
Lazy or inefficient folk are seldom ut
loss for self justification of this sort.
Some OF us can remember the old.
fashioned country storekeeper who
used to spend most of his time sitting
on box whiting or gossiplng with
the loafers when he should have been
studying his business. This cheerful
soul held the same views as the slack
housekeeper.
But we do not see much more OF
this old-fashioned, happy-go-lucky
country merchant. He has long ago
been put out of business by his enter
prlslng competitor who learned the
value of good bookkeeping.
The answer to those who would
shirk home account-keeplng is simply
this: You cannot plan your affairs with
any certainty unless you know about
:hem, and YOU cannot know about them
unless you keep records Of them

Russia limits Marriage Age.

Some bygone lawmakers would have
been in sympathy with the Brooklyn
millionaire who maintains that at
eighty-six he was too old to be legally
married. In Rome under Emperor
Augustus. law was passed forblddne
men to marry when they were over
sixty, and women when over fifty
Peter the Great also disapproved OF
senile marriage and enacted that nc
marriage contract should hold good II
either of the contracting parties was
over eighty at the time it was entered
upon. This law is still enforced in
Russia. or, at all events, was enforced
until the bolsheviki came into pow

RAIN COULD NOT

 DANCE OF LEGION
Pleasing Program and Large Attendance Made Affair
 8 Huge Success.

Not even the rain could spoil the brilliance of the first social and dance given by the American Legion. nor could 1t harm the nerriment of the happy 500 persons who attended. The large dance hall at Lordship was gaily decorated with flags and ribbins of the national colors.
 One of the pleasing features of the evening was the performance of the Dunn Brothers, who with their tam bourines and superior art in the dan cins line, were heartily welcomed. The numbers by the Harmony Keys Quartet were well received by the audience, as were the tenor solos by James Saunders. The non-appear- ance of Miss Elizabeth Foster and her brother George caused much disap- pointment, but the absence of the couple was due to a, sudden illness of MT. Foster.

Birthday Bio-Briefs Famous Women
MARY ANN CLARKE
 AND CECILY OF YORK

On June 19, 1852, there died in Boulogne, France, Mary Ann Clarke, whose affairs of the heart with the Duke of York had aroused England.
 In the year 1909 charges had been brought against the Duke and both Parliament and London society look ed to this month to substantiate cer- tain allegations. The ducal house of York has several times been in troub- To and it's members have often eX- perienced great sorrows. Thus, Ce- ely. Duchess of York, who died in 1495, was doomed to witness in her own family more Calanlities than probably are to be found in the his- tory of any other individual.
 Her husband was killed in the bat tie of Wakefield. Her son, Edmund Earl of Rutland, a. boy of twelve, was murdered after the battle. Another son, George, Duke of Clarence, was put to death in the Tower of London his wife having previously been pois- Oned. Edward, Prince of Wales. who married her great-niece, was mur- dered after the battle of Tewkes- bury.
 Besides these relatives lost either in battle or by murder eight nephews, a brother-in-law, a sCn-in-law, Hol- land, Duke of Exeter, who married her daughter, Anne, lived long in exile and in such poverty as to be compelled to beg his bread and in 147S his corpse was found stripped naked on the sea-shore near Dover.

field for what is known as news value" as in a departme ent store. Every day there is new merchandise coming in-with new features to be played up-and yet the ad man sits down and talks in the same old way about these new goods. He tells his reader, a woman, all about how the buyer went into the market and made a special purchase of suits-his inc fuence with the manufacturer caused the manufactures to give him a con CossIon in price, hence the reason for tkis sale of suits. Now what woman on earth will read through all that long harangue? Undoubtedly "rea- son why" copy appeals to men. If you're writing about a tractor or au tomobile, men will read through two pages of areumentative copy - but you've got to show me the woman who will. How much more readily she is attra cted to an ad with a pret- ty cut, and copy that mmediately gets her attention for some special appeal of style or price.
 If any of you have a woman in your office who has a speck of writ ing ability-Eive her the chance some time to write an ad in which you want to make an appeal to women She Is bound to get a different slant on the thing you are advertising, just because she is a woman and has q different feeling about that than you have. She will probably do for your ad what she does for your office when she straiGhtens 1t up in the morning flowers on your desk
 or in other words-give it a wo- mans touch.
 We all stand for better advertising and if men and women can get to- gefhcr in the feld, l think we'll have it-men with their enviable ability to plan large caupai igns---the cir inge- nuity in putting those campaigns across-and women with their intui- tive ability to make an ad appealing and attractive, especially ads for women. There are only a few women in the field at present, comparatively speaking.

400 PRESENT AT MEETING
 ON PROHIBITION

In spite of the rain, 400 men and women attended the open air meet ing on the Plaza last night which was held to protest against the enforce ment of the prohibition amendment. The meeting was held under the aus pices of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, the Central Labor Union and the Trade Union Liberty council.
 The principal speaker was State Senator James kearney of Boston, Mass. He said the prohibition amend ment would serve only to make crim- inals. He denied the charge that 66 900 people die yearly from alcoholism and stated that from investigation of the report of the United States Census Bureau he discovered that only 5000 died annually from alcoholism. The speaker charged that the amendment was only the will of the minority of the country, expressed while the greater part of the people were de- voted to winning the war.

ROMANCES OF THE
 LADY ARABELIAA STUART.

The history of Lady Arabella Stuart was a succession of romantic incidents and disasters. She was the daughter of Charles Stuart, Earl of Lennox, and being in the line of suc- cession to the throne. was the object of jealous care by Queen Elizabeth, who attempted to marry her off to some European prince, some of whom believed that she would suc- ceed to the throne.
 When she was about thirty -threc years old, she married William Sey- mour, son of Lord Beauchamp. Her marriage had been secret, and when Elizabeth heard of it she had Sey- mour committed to the Tower while ArabeI1a was detained as a prisoner in the house of Sir Thomas Parry. Both lovers escaped their prison, but poor Arabe1la was caught and brought back and placed in the Tow or. where she remained until her death in 1915.
