that our own forests suitable for wood
pulp are almost exhausted
The next nearest source Of wood puia
for our paper mills Is Canada. But the
trouble here Is that the provinces con
cerned, notably Ontario. have put an
embargo on its export from the tim
Der lands of the public domains. This
is not an embargo laid by the Canadian
parliament as is generally supposed,
but II does just as well; it keeps the
wood pulp from coming over the Dor
der.
Under the circumstances il is all very
well for Senator Underwood to agitate
for retaltatory legislation against Ca
madam trade. but unfortunately Can
ada is powcrless to improve matters,
unless by very indirect action ontario
has no foreign relations and we can

The Paper Shortage.

IT is not solved soon many Of the

If anybody doubts the seriousness or
the situation, we invite him to consider
the unparalleled sacrifice made the
other day by the statesmen at Wash
ington in ruling that no more extra
copies Of congressional gems OF ora
tory be printed for public distribution
until the paper situation is relieved
In spite Of this revolutionary procedure
the shortage still continues.
The first thing Is to stop profitcer-
ing. Senator walsh Of Massachusetts

Not a Religious Issue.

Nothing could be more farfetched or
erroneous than TO liken the refusal OF
the United States TO accept mandate
for Armenia to the refusal to give aims
TO beggar or bones to dog.
Armenia commands our sympathy as
the oldest Christian nation in the world.
1t appeals TO American generosity, and
the purses OF this nation will continue
TO be open TO the suffering and destitu-
tion OF a people who have our sympathy
in their constant religious battle against
the Mohammedans,
The Armenian church Is the oldest
Of all national churches There are two
sects-those that adhere to the tradi-
tional beliefs, and the Roman Catholics
who gave up the Monophosite heresy
at the solicitation OF the pope.
But we doubt II the zeal with which
some seek to excite the religious people
of this country into a determination TO
exercise a mandate is due so much 70
desire to preserve and spread re-
ligious sect, and kin off the pagans, as
IL is to arouse a religious fanaticism
In this country against the senators
who oppose the mandate.
The first amendment to the consti-
tuition provides that congress shall
make no law respecting an establish
ment OF religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof" and II congress
is not permitted TO legislate in the In
terest of a denomination in this country.
surely 1t has no right to legislate for
the people OF any other country.
Besides, there are other constitutional
questions at issue. Mandates are pro-
vided for in the league Of nations The
United States is not member of the
league. 1t has not accepted the cove
nant There is no authority in the con-
sutution or under the law which would
give the United States the right to take
charge OF the government Of Armenia.
There Is no authority to levy a tax
upon the people for the benefit of Ar
menia, and against the Turks. whom we
desplse but with whom we have no
quarrel.
In respectfully declining to grant the
executive authority to assume a man
date for Armenia, the foreign relations
committee OF the senate reflected the
wishes OF the people Of this country.
There is no sentiment in favor Of draft.
ing 1000 boys from each state in the

q T1SWAhD X. SARlS.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily," called Buddy,
the guinea pig boy, one day as he ran
up to the old rabbit gentleman who
was sitting in the sunshine near his
hollow stump bungalow. "Do you want
me to make you buzzer, Uncle Wig
gily?' asked Buddy.
"A buzzer!" exclaimed the bunny
uncle, holding his paw on his pink
nose to stop it from twinkling so fast.
What is a buzzer. Buddy, and what
could | do with it,"
Have fun, answered the guinea pig
boy. I'm make you one Have you a
piece of string, Uncle Wiggily?"
What for asked Mr.. Longears.
For the buzzer l am going to make.
Wggiy gave the little guinea pig char
the string, Buddy looked at it, smiled
in a funny sort of way, and asked:
Have you "A big overcoat button.
Uncle Wiggily? A very large button
What for?" asked Mr.. Longears
again.
"Oh, for another part of the buzzer, "
spoke Buddy So Uncle Wiggily looked
through all his pockets and at last
found large button with four holes
in it. The button was one he intended
sewing on his red vest, but he found
it was too large.
But ii will be dandy button for my
buzzer," said Buddy with a laugh, as
he looked at it. "NOw, have you a file,
Uncle Wiggily? The nail one you use
to file your paws with will do very
nicely
What are you going to do with my
file?" asked the bunny uncle as he
took it from his pocket.
'Il! show you answered the guinea
pig chap and then he began to file
notches in the outer rim OF the big
buzz saw" exclaimed Uncle Wiggiiy.
It's all part of the buzzer," said
Buddy You shall see how it works
Then Buddy threaded the string
edges Of which he had filed so they
were like a buzz saw Then Buddy
tied the two ends Of the string to-
gether as though getting ready to play
cats cradle. and then he put the loops
of the cord over his naws
Now watch, Uncle Wiggily," called
Buddy; The guinea pig boy began to
tlop the button over and over until
the string was all twisted Then
BUDDY pulled his paws in and out. first
stretching the string and then letting
II hang loose
And as truly as I'm telling YOU. the
button with the buzz saw edge began
to tWrl around as fast as the sewing
machine, and IT made a funny buzZing

1t is a fearsome thought and one cal
culated to blanch the cheeks of the
boldest, for there is not one of US VINO,
in our secret souls, would not rather be
arraigned at the bar of public opinion
for any crime, from murder to chicken
stealing, rather than to be charged with
being bore.
Moreover, the mischief of the matter
is that we can never really be certain
whether we are bores or not. we may
believe, and trust, and pray, that we
are not bores, but we can not positively
know We can not make a personal
test, for we are all spellbinders and
fascinating to ourselves.
Nor can we accurately gauge our re-
action on others because convention mas
taught us to do the Spartan boy stunt
and smile, and smile, and appear dl-
verified while our very vitals are beng
gnawed by the tedious, and\we are SUI
fering incredible agonies of ennui.
We have ever been taught to Camou-
flage our sentiments so well that When
at last, in answer to our terVent' 81
lent petitions to heaven for deliVerahce'
the bore finally rises to depart. we urge
him or her to stay longer. ana 10 come
again and repeat the torture.
Therefore unless people actually yaWn
in our faces, we have no means OF
knowing whether they weary unto
death of us or are hanging enraptured
on our words
This being >the case, the only safe
thing to do is to regard ourselves with
suspicion as one who might, could or
would become a bore, and to take every
possible precaution against being lnho-
Gently betrayed into becoming one OF
these dread sCourges OF our fellow crea-
lures.
The first, and one of the most i'm
portant. prevention measures TO be
taken is to make short visits and to ad-
minister our society to our friends ana
acquaintance in broken and homeo-
pathic doses. Perhaps in this one thlng
is comprised the whole of the law ana
the prophets as regards not being
bore.
For human nature is so constituted
that ii can stand almost any affliCtlon
for a short time. IT is only when the
suffering is long drawn out that 1t
breaks down nerves and becomes unen-
durable.
Hence as long as we stick to the pop
in-and-pop- out method of calling, we
need never fear but that we will be
welcome guests. The individual every
one breads to see is he who stays and
stays and presses along until you reel
like screaming with boredom. BreVity
is said to be the soul OF wit. 1t Is
certainly the secret Of popularity and
first aid in the prevention of boredom.
It is literally true that anybody can
be entertaining for half an hour ana
nobody IS brilliant enough to be enter
tanning for three hours on stretch,
ones own experience abundantly proves
this. Think OF how merrily the first
part of a dinner party goes, and how
drearily the last part Remember how
Won chartered away at high speed with
Jones for the first hour Of his visit, ana
What hard going the second hour was to

As a Woman Thinks
DO YOU MEASURE UP?
BY EDITH E. MoRIARTY.

If you are one of those people >who
nave taken some of the many mental
tests which are now so fashionable and
II you have passed it recording normal
or very near normal, do not preen
yourself and sit back to look down
upon the mentally deficient and feeble
minded. You may be no better than
they are according to modern psychol
ogists and psyChiatrists
These modern students of mental dis
orders hold that it is what one does
with the mind he has which counts.
Two people may have the same in
tellectual capacity. Both may be equal
ly deficient and yet one may be a fair
enough, Independent citizen while the
other one is forever a burden and eX-
pense on the state. The reason for
the difference is not in the measure of
the. mind itself, but in its use.
Nothing illustrates this better than
the statement made by the head of "A
school for mentally deficient and feeble
minded in Massachusetts. This man
said that the greatest educational in
sutution in Massachusetts was not Har-
ward, but was his little school, and
this was his reason: In his school
mrm capacity, while he was sure he
said, that in Harvard more maximum
minds were working at minimum ca
paCity.
There is the big idea that mental
hygiene students are trying to give to
the public. They want to get the most
there is out of every person. They
want to develop every possible good
trait in even the most feeble minded
In other words, they want every mind,
no matter how small or how great, to
work at maximum capacity. 1t is a
good thought and it is applicable not
only in our schools for backward chill
dren. but it ought to be stressed in
our public schools and colleges as we'll
And, too, each individual ought to
make il his business to see that If he
is fortunate enough to register normal
on mental test that he exercises his
mentality to its fullest capacity Men
