Pres't Wilson'S agreement to undertake personal
mediation between the Armenians and the Turks is
but a reminder Of how he has been appealed to in
practically every difficult situation of the world in
the past five years. His enemies home have fire.
quently construed this in higher light than a
cunning effort Of old world diplomats TO unload
their unpleasant tasks this country Let it be
construed in whatever light, the occasion Of the re
quests for his aid is usually suffering humanity
Today 1t is the suffering of the Armenians II no
body else will act, it be some satisfaction to
the Christianity OF America that the president OF
the United States, broken as he is in health.
takes to do what he to answer the cry of hu-
mainly.
The appeal in this case also is a reminder that
while the policies Of the president have been
reIudiated by majority Of his countryrnen he still
is viewed by the vast majority of the people of the
globe the greatest personal force in the effort to
end
Surely in this instance with the Christmas spirit
rising he will find many wishes for success.

JUST FOLKS
By EDGAR A. GUEST
A LITTLE TIME AT HOME.


This life has grown so mixed a
thing, with ali there is to do,
One task treadS on anothers heels
before you're fairly through:
It's business In the morning, when 1
read my mail or try.
Before the telephone begins into my
time to pry,
Or visit with a visitor and treat him
as a friend,
Then hustle 20 meeting that I've
promised to attend:
But nowhere in the scheme of life
since ! grew up to roam,
Seems there TO be an hour for me TO
spend in peace at home.
I would not by a word Of mine or
single hasty act
Wound any man who calls me friend
l merely state the fact
That life has lost its olden charm
which long ago Ii knew.
When men could be contented here
without a thing TO do.
But now upon a treadmill that goes
ever round and round
From dawn TO midnight I must
trudge for fear that I'll be
downed:
Upon a schedule I must toll, as ships
that ply the foam,
CHARTERED for everything except a
quiet hour d. home.
When dawn arri,es and over all the
shades Of night descend
Scucewhvr, there is banquet or a
show | must attend;
Into my evening dress I jump, the
while my girl and lad
Stand by me, as l shave myself. TO
visit with their dad.
The cid time father used TO take his
children on his knee.
But that's one happy privilege which
life denies 10 me;
And yet I vow some day we three
will share the evening gloam,
And l will tell them wondrous tales
the night 1 stay at home.
I often fancy I would like TO catch
some mild disease
So I might stay in bed awhile and
read what books 7 please,
Some comfortable ailment which TO
suffer I'd enjoy.
With no committees TO attend, no
phone calls TO annoy
a few brief days Of perfect peace. too
i'll to do a thing,
Yet not too III to want 10 hear the
songs the youngsters sing
Could L break UP the schedule which
compels me now TO roam,
I'd realize my fOndeSt dream-a lit
tie time at home.

LABoR'S IMMIGRATION POLICY.

one Of the most constructive contributions made
10 immigration discussions is that Of tho
American Federation of Labor:
That the government Immediately authorize
industrial survey TO ascertain the labor demands of
All industries the number Of days workmen
employed per year in each industry. the seasons OF
employment, where and when labor of various
kinds is needed, and in what amount; and then d
immigration policy which. the basis this posi-
tive information, would exclude or admit immi-
grants according the industrial needs OF the coun-
try and when they were admitted would see
they reached the localities and industries needing

This may be a selfish way of handling the problem
regarding the Immigrant frankly as an industrial
recruit rather than a prospective citizen seeking
freedom and fortune in this Promised Land. But
would It not be far sensible and also far more
tair 70 the immigrant, than the old chaotic policy
that has pretended to welcome the immigrant with
open arms but has really neglected him, and allow
I'd him to drift into blind competition with Ameri-
can labor. to the disadvantage Of both?
Admitting immigrants as needed and placing them
where they belonged would benefit everybody 1t
would prosper the country and its newcomers alike

erations past nearly all the directories the
coming year list the males OF the community and
the actively engaged in business. but do
not list the wives of the men, nor even the many
single who the heads Of households.
A commenter this lack suggests that it would
take little room. and frequently be great aid
in locating the feminine members of the

quaintance looking down list of perhaps $50 John
Smiths could locate quickly the desired Mrs Smith.
The single. adult woman's name should be listed

The suggestion is practical and might be
tended to teller hone directories as we'll the initial

II is customary for the wife in these days 10 use
her name freely than she did in times
past and such simple methods of identification
would facilitate many business and social trans
