WHERE UNIFORMITY WOULD
 HELP.

What it is believed will be regard ed with much favor by the users of the highways is the contention of the national defense council that there should be uniform motor car regula- tions throughout the country. This would mean no great change for many states though it would mean consid- erable for others but it would give re- lief to those travelling through the different states without weakening the highway regulations.
 As 1t is at the present time every state has different regulations. They are working to the same end, the safe ty of the road and the protection of those using it. but they are undertak- ing it in their own way regardless of the efforts of the neighbors. The re- suit is that new book of laws has to be perused every time a state boundary is crossed. One state may rigidly oppose speeding and the next may not; one may forbid glaring headlights and the other may not and so on through a long list of highway laws. It is thus very easy for those who are entering another state to un- Intentionally violate the laws right and left. whereas if there was some sort of uniformity it could easily be avoided.
 Much the same situation exists re- garding the regulations in cities Hardly any two have regulations alike. Too often there are the one way streets with nothing to inform the stranger. Some cities require cars to be parked alongside and close up tt the curb, others insist upon them be. ing left at an angle with the curb. IT other places they must be backed III to the curb. while the matter of turn ing around on streets is equally a. puzzling in different cities.
 Warnings do much good to thu strangers. but if there was some sor of uniformity regarding highway law and city regulations much relief ant better observance would be secured.

the many smaller towns in the vi- cinity is Kismarton, famous for a historic and magnificent castle of the Esterhazy family. Reputed to have descended from Attila, the scions of that line have been conspicuous in Magyar affairs from the sixteenth century to a period within the mem ory of living men.
 Tt was at Oedenburg, or Sopron, as the Magyars call it, that the first Esterhazy of renown, Nicholas, was chosen for palatine of Hungary, five years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock Paul Esterhazy. son of Nicholas, was commanderi in- chief of the south Hungarian army, l also was elected palatine, helped consolidate the Hapsburg dominion,
 and wrote religious and scientific
 works. Nicholas Joseph, in the eighteenth century, fought, acted as privy councillor, and founded an or Der. Nicholas " declined the Hun
 garian crown from the hands of Ma poleon, while his son, successively
 ambassador at Dresden, Rome and London, and Count Morit2

GERMANY MUST PAY.

The decision reached to the effect caused by the action of its subjects and the officers of it's navy in the sinking of the warships in Scapa Flow is only what was to be expected and Germany itself must realize that the additional burden that will be placed upon it is only what the situation calls for.
 It can be imagined that there was no thought to the consequences of such an act when it was planned and put into operation. The only thought was of depriving the allies of these warships, which had been turned over to the allied nations under the terms of the armistice. The fact that the very disposition that has been made of them had been suggested by some of the nations offers no justifica- ton. The act is a violation of the terms of the armistice for the sink ing had taken place before the sign ing of the treaty or in fact before it had been decided by Germany to sign 1t.
 It amounts therefore to the same thing as the refusal to carry out other terms In that case Germany would have been forced to comply an6 in this instance inasmuch as its rep resentatives have taken the opportu- nifty offered them to destroy property placed in the hands of the enemy il must make good for that act. Ger many may have the satisfaction oi knowing that it's warships cannot be utilized by its successful opponents but it has done so at a price to be exscted which will dull the achieve ment and cause Germany to be dis trusted in each and every one of its future acts.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Justice Wheeler has rendered service
 not only on the bench, where his av-
 complishments will ever rank with the
 greatest of our jurists, and with tre-
 mendous opportunity coming when he
 gains next year the pinnacle of judi
 cial standing as Chief Justice Of the State Supreme Court but as a citizen
 in active life who never for moment forgets, even in his busiest hours, the
 duties required of all who are part of a community.
 During the late war Justice Wheeler rendered services of the highest or der in spurring on the home wok, so necessary for the success of the army and navy at the front. For this alone he would be proper subject for re- cognition.
 Yale has done well in honoring him with degree and the city will join in the congratulations which will surely come to him from all parts Of the

TEMPERANCE SALOONS.

With the putting out of business of the saloon by the going into effect of the war prohibition act there has been no small amount of thought given to the question of providing some sub stitute. It is felt as the result of study that the saloon is a place where a great many go for sociability and with the idea of seeing that that demand is met the Salvation Army has decided to undertake the mainte- nance of some of these places under the name of temperance saloons.
 There will be the mahogany bars, the mirrors, the chairs and tables and even the brass rail. while lunches and soft drinks will be served. Some of the pictures and signs may be changed but there will be the mixolo- gists and plenty of other attractions so that the social side of the saloon will not be wiped out.
 Whether this undertaking will prove a success remains to be seen There are many who are frank to say that they do not believe that it will. If il Is companionship that is sought the
 
 quirements, but if the sociability oi the saloon is measured by the kick that comes from drinking alcoholic beverages 1t is perfectly plain that il will not.
 But inasmuch as the best way tc determine whether the plan of the Salvation Army will serve the desired purpose is to try it out, it is quite evi, dent that the Salvation Army ough to make a go of it if anyone can though it is possible that the pro. prietors of some of the long establish. ed and famous places may even see { chance to do a similar business by running a kickless drinking house. A any rate the experiment and outcom, will be watched with keen interest.

DOUBLE MEANINGS

Are there moments in your past" :" said the pretty girl, tentatively, that make you writhe if you remember them and cause a crimson blush to flood to your face.
 There were many of 'em," said the good looking young man, cheerfully. But I gradually got over them. The worst one was the time ! went to the country club dance with one tan shoe and one black one and never noticed it until got out on the floor. I wouldn't have noticed it so much, because I knew the whole crowd pretty well; but that night---welI, that was the night I saw you for the first time.''
 "Oh," exclaimed the pretty girl "So that was why you never came near me?"
 You did notice me that night then?" asked the good looking young man eagerly; but the pretty girl in- terrupted him in some haste.

AUSTRIA NEXT.

It was noted of course at the time the terms of peace were handed to Austria that it offered much the same sort of 1 remonstrance that came from Germany. It set forth numerous req sons why there should be change made in the requirements, and object ed to the manner in which the dual monarchy was to be cut up, but Aus 'tfia knew then as it knows now and knew before that the dual monarchy could not remain as it was. Even those who were numbered as subjects of that empire were opposed to it's continuance, and it is in accord with the demands of the different races that Austria Hungary is being parti- tioned.
 That the decision of the German
 government to sign the terms of peace that have been presented to it will have its effect upon Austria, even as the course that it adopted in present. ing counter proposals, is to be expect ed. As with Germany there is noth- ing else for it to do. It has no way of resisting the enforcement of the terms and it cannot fail to recognize that if it should attempt to balk that the burden would simply be increased thereby.
 Austria has depended upon Ger
 many for guidance throughout the
 war and it will unquestionably take it's
 cue from the same source in the mat
 ter of signing the peace terms. With
 Germany signing up and started on | the way to readjustment Austria and | the other nations waiting to learn
 their terms and swallow the bitter pill
 will do the same. There's no escape
 and the sooner it is over the sooner il
 will be possible to eliminate the un-
 certainty existing today and shape it's course for the future, Austria
 knows that it stands next in line.

down to $500. The President. of

scrub woman the lowest. The girls
who come here as war workers get
pretty good salaries. They run $1,000.

people who live in Texas. Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska. and in fact. most
any of the other states. are glad to get
away and spend a few months or
years down here. They don't notice
much difference in climate and there
are some attractions and charms
about Washington. But why should
anybody who has grown to enjoy the
beauty and grandeur and the charm
ing climate of Colorado care to come
to this sordid center and soggy clim-
ate?
Surely not for the money.
People of all stations in official life
say they can not live on the govern
ment salaries. Even those in highest
places have married wealth which no
doubt helps to supplement salaries.
Members of the cabinet have resigned
that they may better live on salaries
earned in vaudeville. Chautauoua and
as attorney for moving picture stars.
Coneressmen have to draw on their
earnings from various enterprises and
industries back home in order to live
up to the standard set. All people it
seems in Washington draw salaries to
