jected the only possible league the
United States can enter. He is driven
TO the maintenance of Article X as
sine qua non of the league,l and this
defeats any league. He can not es-
cape the burden of Mr.. Wilson's per-
sonality which has not only tried the
country but his own party as well.
He brings forth a ridiculus mus on
the subject of campaign cDntribu-
tons. One practical tendency Of this
agitation is to dry up much-needed
sources of supply from wealthy
democrats despairing Of his success
and gladly seizing an excuse to
avoid spending money in a lost
cause.-Ph Philadelphia Public Ledger.

DECIMAL POINTS.

A decimal point Is an important
thing. On one side OF the decimal
point the figures stand for units. On
the other side they stand for frac-
tons. On one side are finished, COM
plete things. On the other pieces Iof
things like the ends sawed off boards
in building or the "spalts" Clipped
off stones that have been laid in the
wall. On one side dollars, hundreds
and thousands and millions of dol
lars. On the other cents and thous-
andths and millionths Of cents.
Looking out Of the window Of the
night train as dusk deepens, little
lights spring out Of the, dark, Just
rays Of lamps thru the windows Of
homes where the family gathers for
the evening meal together. Little
lights but decimal points in human
progress because they light home.
Every one of them, on either side Of
the train stretching to the arctic
circle on the one hand and to the
gulf on the other marks, a home,
family, possession under the law, love
and fhope and effort and the desire
that lives on that Children and
grandchildren may be wiser and
stronger and happier than those who
made and keep the home and kindled
the fire on its hearth and lit the
lamps that shine thru the window
with their message to us as we speed
by on our way--home.
Daylight or dark the homes are the
decimal points. Country roads or rail-
way lines or city streets they stand
on either side the decimal points of
evolution and advance OF the race
and the breastworks and redoubts of
|organlzed society. The fine new farm
house with its modernity or the little
tenant house set one side for the
hired help. the big, arrogant mansion
on Swellhead boulevard or the mod
est house on the unpaved street, all
decimal points, all equally important
because they are homes and because
the home is the anchor that holds the
world, Off the reefs in spite of all the
winds OF bolshevism and social IN
sanity that blow in the equinoxes Of
change.

SATIRE IN THE VICTORIAN NOVEL
BY Frances Theresa Russell, Ph. ID.
New York: The Macmillan Company.
"C'est une etrange enterprise que
celle de faire rire les honnetes
gems" exclaimed Moliere, and yet
the laughter of most OF us is di-
rected usually against ourselves,
our petty weaknesses, our shams
and our pretenses. 1t is, indeed.
strange that we md amusement in
such things. but from, Juvenal to
the latest colyum conductor in our
favorite newspaper there has been
satire, not always gentle, frequent
ly biting, but satire aimed at our
selves and amusing, withal.
With half a sneer at the Victori-
an, the author of this book pro-
ceeds to detail the character and
personalities OF the novel OF that
age. THE Victorian may be de-
Tended" we read, appreciated, ex-
onerated even; he may in time sue
ceed in living it down. But to live
IL down is not quite the same as
to have had nothing that had to be
lived down."
Nevertheless, the author did find
an impulse" we read, "the Victori-
ans gave TO the era of agnosticism
and revaluation OF all ideals whose
Inception SO troubled the waters OF
their reluctant souls we never can
know. what Shaw, Ibsen. Maeter-
linck, Rostand, even Wells and
Nietzsche, would have been with
out Peacock, Disraeli, Carlyle,
Dickens, George Eliot, Huxley,
Meredith and Butler, is a question
that admits OF a wide solution. But
IL is Assuredly as foolish to dis
dain the offerings Of a past genera
ton, however erring, ignorant, and
prejudicod we may consider IL in
the light OF our own emancipation
and Advancement, as to suppose
that we shall count for more than
our due modicum in the centuries
to come.
However that may be. we have
as yet invented nothing to surpass
the general Victorian satiric philos-
ophy-that the wisest reaction to
life is a high seriousness graced
with humor, and the most accept
able attitude toward ones fellow
creatures 10 q compassionate COM
prchension Of our common tragedy,
redeemed from cmotionalism by an
irohic conception of the hup.'

Tho author, an assistant pro-
fessor OF English at Stanford Uni
versity. introduces n wealth of quo
tation in this excellent discussion Of
the sstirieel in literature. No stu
dent Of our language can we'll af-
ford to mise this book, for IL is

for a day In the sun and wind also
helps. When the garment Ia clean,
the next step is to wrap IL up
so carefully that the moths can
not reach II. This can be done in
several ways: Sew IL up In strong,
brown wrapping paper; use paste
board boxes and seal with strips OF
gum paper. or place the garment
in paper bags which are sold for
storage purposes.
A most effective method Is to
PACK the clothing In trunk,
sprinkling in freely naphthalene
fakes: when filied place a soup
plate on top of the clothing and
place three tablespoonfuls OF car
bon disulphid in the plate. Close
tightly and do not open again
until fall. Care must be taken In
using disulphid to keep all flames
away from it's fumes, as these are
as explosive as gasoline.
Naphthaiene fakes or moth balls
alone, using two pounds in an ordi
nary trunk, are most effect
i've for protecting clothes from
moth infestation and for kill
ing all stages OF the insect,
Camphor is less effective, and
while red cedar chests readily
kill all adult moths they do not pre-
vent the Matching of moth eggs.
Tests show that the following sub
stances often used for the purpose
possess no value as moth "repell-
ents:" Tobacco extract and pow
ders, lavender flowers, cayenne
pepper allspice. cloves, angelica
root, black pepper, boraN, colocynth
pulp. eucalyptus leaves, formalde-
hyde. heilebore, lead carbonate,
lead oxide, lime. quassia chips, So
dunn bicarbonate, and sodium car
Donate.
Brushing, dusting with naphtha-
lene flakes or pyhethrum powder and
careful wrapping are the best insur-
ance against moths. Placing in a
cedar chest provides additional

7 OyELY indeed are the clothes
for stout women shown in the
better shops. Quite as attrac-
tive have they been designed as the
garments for the slim sister, and
with studied detail to give graceful,
long lines. When correctly cor
seted and gowned the woman with
a big figure can appear very charm
ing. One of the largest shops cater
especially to stout women and offer
some unusually becoming clothes
for the new season.
Although many stout women are
timid about wearing the fashion
able over-blouse, IL model is
chosen with attractive lines, IL
will fake several inches of ones
appearance. The mature matron
will like a lovely hiplength blouse
of georgette in a beautiful shade
OF amethyst. The blouse fell con-
siderably below the hips. and was
banded with satin In a little deeper
shade.
To give a long line to the front,
there was a deep V cut and ban
