Not Fundamentally Honest.

Unable for the time being to crush Esthonia
Lenine made treaty with it, conceding terri
torial claims in doing So Now he alludeS
lightly to the compact limiting at the attain
ment by other means of that which he failed
in by force of arms. Systematic circulation
of bolsheyist propaganda in Finland is report
ed in recent dispatches and it is in progress
elsewhere in adjacent districts which have not
surrendered to the soviet regime. 1t is done by
the agents of Lenine, who are no less threat
ening than his armies.
People living outside of Russia may be poor
ly informed as to what bolsheyism is doing
there--whe.her it is becoming broader and
more liberal politically and dealing construc-
lively with the country's physical problems.
There is no reason, however, to change the
original view that the present leaders are
arbitrary, selfish and fundamentally dishonest.
In fact all reports tend to confirm the impress
sion that they still consider that their ends
justify any means and that their pledges. at
least to outsiders, are habitually made with
their fingers crossed.

Service That Counts.

are In the fact that there is to be no railroad
strike None Of US is fully informed as to the
facts that have had q bearing on the Lansing
incident and anyway the connection with the
welfare of the average citizen Is very remote
But the railroad strike dealt with the bread
and butter and the pocketbook of everyone not
prepared to stand q prolonged siege in trans
portation and probably to meet decided in
crease in the cost Of living afterward. Some
may think Mr.. Lansing was not given the con-
sideration due him by the president, but all
+ have definite, personal reasons for approving
the part that Mr.. Wilson played ins averting
I y railroad tieup
This is only one OF many instances in which
the chief executive, by his frmness and fore
sight and his singleness Of purpose in uphold
ing the interests of all the people, has rem
dercd great service. 1t may be that Mr. Wilson
is not always tactful and as considerate OF
those with whom he deals as he might be
From the standpoint of the politician perhaps
he is not conspicuous success. That how

The Soldiers Rest.

Official denials fail to clear the American
mind of the suspicion that undertakers have
had something to do with the movement for
returning the bodies of American soldiers from
France. Somebody started it and somebody is
pushing it and who would be SO apt to engage
in organized effort alcrg this line as those who
make business of burying? End Of the sgi-
tation is the only thing that will convince
great many people that there is no African in
the woodpile
Tie late Colonel Roosevelt was Guick to put
himself on record against bringing back the
remains of our soldiers and Mrs. Roosevelt
is now head of an organization working to
head off general movement to that end. The
Roosevelts had every reason to wish the re-
turn of the body of their son, Captain Quentin
He died in an act of conspicuous bravery. His
remains were fully identified and his grave
clearly marked. There was no chance of
mixed identity. Yet the Roosevelt view was
and is that the battlefield is the most fitting
resting place for soldier
The sentiment is one which ought to be
echoed by other parents similarly bereaved
Certainly where element of chance in re-
gard to identification enters, as it does newt
ably in many thousands of cases. it will be
wiser from every point of view to let the dead
rest where they fell.

Alicia.
This name is derived from the
same root as Alice, and represent
ing an attempt at greater euphony
The curious part of it is that the
name. in it's original form, is'really
not that of woman at all, but OF
man. 1t is derived from the An
glo-Saxon Adeligis, Of which the
feminine form was Adelgis, but
was not frequently given to women
Instead it was sacred to the sons
of the house, principally among the
nobility. The name itself means
noble, in both its masculine and
feminine forms.
The name is purely English, hav-
ing, however, a slight Teutonic
favor. An argument Is put for
ward by some experts that the
name is derived from the Frankish

Hello, have you cut any teeth to-

teeth is a natural, normal, ply
siological one, and it is ridiculous

by assuming that the baby is cut

positively funny, even If, few old
fogy doctors and baby specialists
here and there do cling to the sup
erstition.
It's queer how obstinately some
people cling to those absurd super
stitions. Why, baby's life, in GER

superstition after another. 1t de-

sway Mrs. Sairey Camp has in the
household. II Sairey is permitted
to horn in, away goes common

detriment of the home.
Perhaps Mrs. Camps strongest
and most impressive yarns concern

What is your opinion of vinegar
which is made with bees" water
mo!asses and sugar? Is it injrr.
ious to the system? (Mrs. r. J)
Answer should not use such
vinegar. Bees" are wild impure

in lieu of good yeasts.
Removing Nits.
What will remove nits from the

Answer-Draw strands OF hair
through a soft cloth wet each time
with hot vinegar. The lice may be
destroyed by saturating the hair
with equal parts Of kerosene and
vinegar and wearing a towel o,
bathing cap for three hours, then
shampoo. This may be repeated
every alternate day as long as any
lice are found. Care should b,
taken to avoid fire and flame while

The name, originally masculine,
according to the best authorities,
however. represents Adelgis and
not Adefgisa, making the proper
feminine form Aliza. Some believe
that Eliza, generally believed to be
a derivative Of Elizabeth is this
missing form. For proof of Al!za
as the representative of Adelgisa,
the Liber Vitae Of Durham records
the change in Adelgisa from the
first noble lady of that name, who
laid her gifts upon the altar. BY
contraction it became Adeliza
AaliZa and AliZa.
The talismanic stone of Alicia Is
the AleXandrite, a Russian gem. 1t

it brings great good fortune. When
