NTARY'S best friend met Mary's
1fl mother the other day in the street,
ooh, how is Mary?" she asked eagerly.
HAS she been sick?" said Mary's
mother in surprise; "she didn't write
me anything about it. / haven't heard
from him for about month or SC"
Mary is married and lives in another
state. She is a very reluctant cor
respondent with her friends, but this
was the first time anybody had heard
that she 'never" wrote home either.
The only news that her mother got
about her sometimes was what her
friends told her of their letters.
Doesn't it seem strange that her own
mother should have to rely on friends
to hear what her daughter is doing, how
she is. and what new things she is get
ting in her house? 1t seems impossible
that habit that has been going On so
long should be forgotten SO easily be-
cause letter writing is required in or
der to keep it up. But perhaps tell
ing her mother everything ,had never
been Mary's habit. Perhaps her mother
had never encouraged her in this per =
haps she never told Mary interesting
things. For there are such separated
families. There are mothers who had
to count on their SON S friends to tell
them what was going on overseas during
the war. There are mothers who say,
"No, my daughter isn't home tonight.
She has gone to dance or a theatre
party or something; maybe only the
movies

T ARGE turkish towels, with pink or
IL blue checks, and fancy borders of
either color, are being displayed at one
shop and are priced at 81 each. Their
value is quite exceptional for such nice.
large fancy towels. Palmer towels, all
white, are specially priced at forty
cents each
1t is reasonable to suppose that if a
manufacturer of silverware were to
make silver polish he would naturally
make very good kind, for the simple
reason that he is so familiar with the
requirements of the silver he knows SO
well. And that is why I am SO strongly
in favor of the silver polish which can
be had either in paste or cake form and
which costs thirty five cents. No more
excuses for dull silver

There was othing new last week
to Indicate the course which the allies
would pursue in the matter of the ex-
tradition of Germans accused of war
crimes, except an unofficial statement
that they would insist ON the execu-
ton of the treaty clause. The
Berlin government insists that ~de.
livery of the culprits is a physical
impossibility and also would be an
incredible violation of the nations
honor. The latter point may be disre-
garded, but the former may have some
weight. The British, it is said. are
willing to show leniency, but not so
the French. The former crown prince
got on the front page with an offer to
the heads of the allied governments to
surrender himself in place of the 900

to replace force by commercial pol

The Democratic members of con-
gress. disregarding the wishes of
President Wilson, formally decided in
caucus to oppose any legislation for
universal military training. Mr.. Will
sons letter TO the caucus not only
urged that the matter be not made a
party issue. at least until the national
convention passed on it, but also made
it clear that lie heartily favored prof.
ect for moderate military training.
The resolution against the training
legislation was supported, of course,
by such men as kitchin of North Caro-
lima and was passed by vote of LOG
to II. Since the big majority of the
lower house has adopted the same at
titude there seems to be small hope
for universal military training at
present. Representative Kahn and
others of its supporters however. have
not yet given up. Approval of the Sys-
TEN expressed by the American Legion
may have some influence on congress.

Mr.. Hoover has issued a long state
ment in which he denies that he is
seeking the White House job or has
any organization. He repeats that he
must vote for the party that stands for
the League of Nations if that becomes
a partisan issue, and adds that he does
not believe in more than two great
parties. He declines to pledge his
vote blindfolded, and does not say that
he would accept either the Republican
or the Democratic nomination if the
platform suited him.

WHY NOT SAY WHATS WHAT.

A week ago the council un0tilctalIy
announced that Ottawa was to have a
strictly sane Fourth, minus fireworks
Of any description. Even match
could not be lighted to touch anything
eff without violating the ordinance.
The announcement stirred up eonsid
cradle excitement among certain bust
ness men who claim they had inter
viewed the authorities and had been
informed that "sparklers' and other
so.called harmless" fireworks would
be allowed, and they stocked up ac-
cordingly. Present indications atg
that the harmless fireworks will be al
lowed including the toy pistol which
annually claims its victims.
Now this is perhaps AL well
enough. No one wants 10 deprive the
kids of their fun. il they can get by
without damage TO themselves or
others and without destroying prop
erty But what is the sense Of tenn
PORTING or butling? If the ordinance
is going to be enforced why not say
so at the start and stick to it? Ii the
ordinance goes too far repeal il OF
such portions Of it as are net going
To be enforced That is one OF the
things that get administration into
EnI tIIrl any h
else is responsible for The disregard
not 10 say contempt. in which many
or most OF the city ordinances are
held. This kind Of action caused nine
tenths Of the Old saloon troubles, and
permits a lot OF petty gambling to 60
on every day in Ottawa not real
gambling, but the petty kind that no
one considers serious enough to war
rant a howl, but just the same makes
the administration vulnerable To those
who wish TO criticise.
If the dealers were told they could
sell certain kinds OF fireworks, it is
too late nov to prohibit them this
year. In fairness TO them they should
be allowed to dispose Of their stock
But what was the use? The orQi
nances forbid fireworks Of every de-
scrip.ion. Who is to draw the line
between the dangerous and the harm
less kind?
What ottawa needs is not mere OF
dances but men with the nerve to en-
force those we have to the letter and
teach the people that the ordinances
as they stand will be enforced to the
letter. The best way to get rid OF Il
bad law is to enforce it. Let's clean
