WOMEN TAKING TO MONOCLf
Single EyeoIass Rapidly Becoming
Popular Among the Smart Set In
English Society.

Two fashionably dressed women
were seen in Regent street the other
day, each wearing a monocle screwed
into the right eye. According to a
member Of q well-known firm Of op-
ticfans the wearing of the single eye
glass is becoming popular among WON
en- in society.
I'VE have had several orders for
monocles from women recently" he
said. "In every case there was genu-
inc trouble with one eye only. Rather
than wear pince-nez fitted with one
plain glass for the good eye. they pre-
ferred mOnocles as being the least dis
fgurement. They all chose those At
ted with gold rims as being the most
comfortable and the easiest to keep
in the eye. They take cords also. for
it requires the confidence born of long
experience to wear monocle without
a guard.
"After all, why should the monocle
be q masculine glass only? 1t is a
mistake for some people to regard It
as only facial decoration for dudes
and politicians. Where only one eye
IS defective a superfluous glass is
nuisance.
The mOnocle lends distinction to the
right kind Of face. 1t best suits peo-
pie with sharpcut features. 1t is about
time that the mOnOcle came into its
Own."-LOndOn Globe.

Glasgow, Scotland, which are also
those Of the ancient see, is said to
record miracle of st. Kentigern, the
founder Of the see, and the fourth

fallen in love, a ring that had been
presented to her by her consort; but
the king discovered the intrigue, and.
having obtained the ring, threw It into
the Clyde, and then demanded it OF
his disloya1 lady.
In her alarm she sought help from
St. Kentigern, and he, proceeding to
the river, forthwith caughtHa salmon,
which, on being opened. was found to
have swallowed the all-important
Jewel. The queen regained the good
graces of the king. and lived better
life afterward.

DOING THINGS BY WHOLESALE
Easy to See Many Advantages In New
Methods Rapidly Being Brought
to Perfection.

Heretofore we have bought medical
service at retail. Now Glasgow Is try
ing out a plan to sell medical service
wholesale.
What Glasgow is striving to do Is
this: Divide the city in districts anu
provide free dispensaries and free doc
tors to all who need medical attention.
It Is claimed that such scheme will
reduce the death rate, because many
Door people now skimp their famiiles
in the matter Of health precautions.
And the doctors like it, also. They
work fewer hours and standard pay
Is guaranteed.
Withal, the Glasgow plan OF whole
sale doctoring Is said to be cheaper
than our OId-fashioned retail meehea'
"Girard" writes in the Philadelpnla
Press.
American cities have made half a
step toward such doctoring Of the peo-
ple In wholesale lots.
We have boards of health and health
bureaus. They administer In a gen.
eral way and they administer In whole
sale doses.
An order goes out and it goes for
all the people. It is economical ano
wise, as every one knows, during such
an epidemic as the "fu" was last
year.
Doctoring by wholesale saved mil
lions of lives in that one calamity.
Uncle Sam did the insuring OF MS
own soldiers by wholesale In the last
war.
Public schools supply education IN
wholesale quantities.
Our spiritual wants are supplied ~
a fashion wholesale through the
churches.
So wholesale doctoring is only an
other days march in the general dl
rection of socialistic empire.

possible example Of the molecule WIS.,

GEN. WOODS BOOM WIDENING

THE political signs of the times point
l to renewal with added force o,
the spontaneous demand for Gen. Wood
as q candidate for president. Severel
states more have shown almost unani

trate. His long experience as the first
soldier in the land in positions calling
for high executive ability, has given
him thorough training in public af-
fairs. His constructive career in Cuba
and the Philippines shows that.
Here is an illustration of his far-see-
ing wisdom. Many months before Ger
many's outrsges upon the lives and
property Of our citizens had coerced
this ''peace-at-any-price" Administra-
tion into some show of patriotic self
respect, Gen. Wood. with statesman
like foresight discerning the inevitable
final break, and knowing the utterly
unprepared condition of our army, sug-
gested to the President and the War
Department, the establishment of ade-
quate "Officers' Training Camps" and
repeatedly urged the immediate adoption
of his idea.
But far from receiving this wise ad-
vice, which had it at once been followed
would have saved many thousands of
soldier lives, Mr.. Wilson, angry at this
reflection upon his "too proud-to-fght''
pacifcism, took petty revenge upon
the brave patriot soldier, not only de-
priving him of any personal participa-
tion in the war when it finally came,
but practically degrading him in rank
by sending him down to an obscure
frontier post in the southwest!
No meaner partisan act was ever done
by q president than this grossly unjust
punishment of an army officer for maxi
ing a suggestion which it is only just to
say made our illustrious participation in
the world war a possibility For al
though Mr.. Wilson punished Gen. Wood
for his wise and patriotic advice, he
was forced at last to act upon it And
it is solely due to the adoption. though
