So far as the Irish question is con-
cerned, we remain upon the thick ice,
but we note Mr.. Secretary Colby's
promise to ''endeavor to do something,
lative interest We are curious to
know what Secretary Colby can do.
However. we wish him we'll. We
are willing to do anything within rea-
son to get the MacSwiney story off the
first page.
The fact that a series of liquor raids
in New York yielded $4,000 worth OF
"hooch" indicates that the. job of the

Illicit dealers begin burying their re-

Alas: Our Ignorance Is AbysmaI.
Sir-Your pretended ignorance OF
the split infinitive will deceive no one.
without full understanding of your
subject you could not so successfully
have avoided one when you wrote:
I'm order temporarily to rivet the at
tention of the cognoscenti," etc
A. G. D.
We gather from A. G. DIS COM
munication that with opportunity to
do so we somehow avoided splitting
the infinitive. We take it there is an
infinitive in the sentence quoted. But
the thing for which we asked was a
definition couched in language so clear
and simple that one of average intel
lect might grasp it.
The proposition still is open and the
prizes will be on display at the Ian
caster fair.

Dorothy Dix Talks
A Woman's Ideal Nfan-a.
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
Werla's Highest Paid Woman w<isee.

A woman's ideal man is what old
fashioned novels call man of seAti-
ment-" He is sensitive to all that is
beautiful in nature and art. He
thrills to moonlight nights and the
music of steel guitars drifting over
silvered water. He can read poetry
in a way that brings your heart into
your mouth and makes you want to
cry on some mans shoulder. He can
make love in the most adorable
fashion. He knows just the little
things that women like to have done
for them and said to them
But he never, never is tempted to
flirt with a pretty woman. no matter
how soft the moonlight, nor how en-
trancingly the Hawaiian band plays,
nor does he ever read poetry to an
other pair of ears tho the book of
hand, and a ready listener in soft
white frock and a most bewitching
summer hat. No; woman's ideal
man is an artist in sentiment who
lavishes the entire output of his gen.
ius on one customer and never even
looks around 70 see IF any other
woman wo lid be interested in the line
of sweet goods he carries in stock.
A woman's ideal man makes money
with one hand and -efle brain cell,
while he dev6t es the other hand and
most of his intellect to amusing her.
only men who are strong for the sim
pie life. Women desire a scheme of
existence that is garnished with beau
tiful clothes, and luxurious homes, and
motor cars and such like, but the wo-
mans ideal man must not have to
drudge for these in the way they come
to ordinary men.
Dear me, no. A woman wants her
husband to give her all that money
buys, but she wants him to have a soul
above money grubbing. He must be
idealistic and discourse of music and
literature and art, and not talk shop.
His thoughts, must not be centered on
his horried old factory or office. He
must have leisure to travel and must
never be too tired to CAD around with
her to parties and balls. And she's
perfectly certain he could do all these
things. and accumulate a fortune on
/ the side if he was all that he should
be.
A portrait of a woman's ideal man
would show a composite picture of
Douglas Fairbanks. President Wilson,
Irwin Cobb, John Drew, Mr.. Rockefei-
Ter, and Job. Needless to say there IS
no such person in real life. Hence no
woman is perfectly satisfied with her
husband.

The employment bureau Of Armour
& Company, in Company, reports that
it is turning away men who are ap-
plying for work, day after day, and
for the first time since the war, lines
OF men can be seen at midday waiting
to file their applications for job.
This situation probably is due to the
increase in immigration since the
packing industry may reasonably be
expected 20 be among the first to at
tract foreign laborers. The coal mines
and the steel works also are likely
soon to feel the effects of the In
creased labor supply. When the rail-
roads get their program of improve
ments and extensions under way they
will absorb large amount Of surplus
labor so that there need be no fear of
extensive idleness for some time to
come. but a gradual lowering of the
wages of unskilled workers may rea-
sonably be expected at no distant date.
The demand for skilled workers,
however, promises to remain keen for
a long time.

Daily Talk
FELIOW FEELING.

Until We are adequately equipped to
praise or censure. we must have that
one of so few rare qualities-fellow
feeling.
Usually people criticise the things in
others which are very glaringly felt in
themselves.
And as easily do we sympathize with
those whose sympathy overflows and
touches ours.
Feelings which we share with others
must of very necessity be part of the
vital fibre of the other fellow.
: Understanding is feeling - fellow
feeling.
And it is this fellow feeling which
is a net work of power everywhere
that makes US and keeps us human
and helpful.
If you are large in fellow feeling.
you are sure to easily and quickly
forgive the faults and failures in
Others. For you are seeing yourself
worked out.
1t is too bad that we see the flaws
in our friend all too soon. The spirit
of an act is so much greater than the
act-entire. Ones vast character is so
much finer than any particular defect.
So frequently a man is sized for his
social or business standing AS tho
teeth, or clothing. or coat of arms, or
fortune. or position had anything to
do with the size or caliber of a man S
heart or brain.
Fellow feeling alone is able to knit
the world into a social unit of lasting
usefulness.
When folks get down to feeling with
the other fellow, instead of at him,
there will be real progress and there
need then be no fear of world chaos.
The job is up to US all. VIII you

\ remarkable lowering of the death
rate from tuberculosis in the first six
months of the current year is re-
corded. Students of the subject in
cline to the belief that the improved
economic condition of wage earnerz
in recent years has probably PLAYED an
important part in the change. The
greater leisure, the better food, and
the improved medical service which
have been available in larger measure
10 the body of American workers, they
say, have undoubtedly had a favorable
effect ON health. The military service
and training Of the millions of young
men who served in the United States
and allied armies in recent years also
is regarded as a factor. The educa-
tional campaign for personal hygiene.
with especial reference to the proven
ton OF tuberculosis, which has been
carried on for moro than 20 years. and
the efforts of the tuberculosis move
ment to insure early recognition of
incipient cases and the efficient treat
ment OF the same also may have had
an important effect.

Reductions in prices of food sold in
quantities seem never to reach the
consumer. One OF the cheapest vege-
tables on the market at this time of
year is tomatoes, yet eating houses
charge from 10 cents to rs cents for
one tomato sliced and served. This
price represents an increase of many
thousands per cent between producer
and consumer. Beefsteak is served at
a rate of about $3.50 to So a pound.

Texas cotton growers are clamoring
for tariff on their product Also,
the producers of tobacco and peanuts
are demanding protection from for
eign competition. Yet the southerners
for so years have been voting against
the party that favors a protective
tariff. But that party never proposed
to levy a duty in the interest of the
Dixie agriculturist. General Hancock
said truly. The tariff is a local

The 10 billions of dollars which we
loaned to Europe probably will be
worth 90 billions by the time we get
it back. It is so with the money the
people have loaned the government.
For the man of small means. there is
no more profitable investment in the
world than government bonds at the
prevailing prices. The only objection
that can be set up against them is
that they cannot be converted into
cash before maturity without posi-
bility of a loss. Congress is expected
to take measures to remedy this de-
feet.

The Tree of Knowledge" which is
coming to the Alta Theatre today is
declared to have that rare combina-
tfon of highly dramatic and entertain
ing story, talented star and fine sup
porting cast, and expert director that
results in the really unusual photoplay.
The mention of such players as
Kath1yn William. Wanda Hawley
Tom Forman. and Irving Cummings
establishes the cast as far above the
ordinary. The director was William
c. De Mile, who, aside from being "a
veteran at screening motion pictures,
is the author of "Strongheart," "The
Warrens of Virginia" and other stage
plays, as well as several film stories
that were produced by his brother,
Cecil B. De Mile.
THE Tree of knowledge" was
adapted from an English stage drama
by r. c. Carton. who also wrote Lord
and Lady Algy." 1t is an absorbing
story of the pernicious influence of
female flirt and her final banishing by
