YOUNG MANS FANCY

Curious" writes to Z newspaper asking why ice
cream doesn't drop in price no what all its separate in
gradients have dropped. The reason, @ Curious is be-
cause SO many ice cream patrons are young and unmar-
ried. Millions of gallons of cream are bought each aud
every evening by young men out with the girl What
chance is there that they will start a buyers strike?
Buyers strikes are for pinched and desperate married
folk, and have to do with such prosy, unromantic COM
laodities as clothes and canned tomatoes.
The crafty makers CT ice cream know that all lin
is are of when a young man and his particular Queen
Of Sheba step into a palace Of frosty sweets. The
voung mans fear OF being thought "tightwad' or a
pill is the ice cream dealers best bet that prices won't
come down to pre-war levels. Not, al least, for several
whites. Indeed, the ice cream man is thinking seri-
ously Of not dropping them at ell, but Of making his
war prices do for two wars-the last one and the next
one=says Leslie's MAGAZINE.

And when life is SO, when the love between man
ind his souls bride is always a beginning and is never,
never an ending, then the by-products If it are kinship
with all the world, brotherhood with every created
thing, duty. service, high ambition. But the Song OF
Songs melody in life comes from no eager strumming
on the strings of sense. from no beauty, no fine rain
ment, no emphasis on place and power. but only from
i catching of the harmony that sings-all too family,
All too briefy-in that first moment of awakening that
\
makes of otherwise commonplace men and women an
incarnate longing for the greater something that lies
back of all beauty, all art, all music, all regal words
that send their flaming arrows across our leaden skies.
For love is the delight of the spirit in its spirit
mate. There is only bitterness and pain for those who
know it not.

A NEEDED SAFETY CAMPAIGN

Secretary of War Weeks speaks an opinion that has
ben forming in the public mind for some time in declar-
ing that there are too many mishaps in the govern
ment's aerial service and calling for a safety campaign
in that branch. Although sacrifices seem inevitable
in the cause of progress. one still must think a single life
as too many if here is any method within reason of
preventing such loss
the recent mishap at the Aberdeen proving grounds. in
which seven men lost their lives, was due to faulty me-
chantsm. he refers to one cause of such tragedies that
is a~vcidable. Another cause is the spirit of daring that
takes unnecessary risks. While there still are many
things TO learn in aerial navigation, enough has been
learned in the science to render unnecessary many of
nte risky flying experiments that were regarded as use
full at first.
At any rate, the loss of IS lives in the army air
service by four mishaps in the last few weeks is enough
to create a countrywide demand for a safety campaign
in flying.

OVERCOMING THE TURK

The danger of .temporarizing with the Turk IS
again demonstrated in the situation in which Great
Britain and France find themselves in dealing WITH
Mustapha Renal Pasha and his followers, the Turk ma
tionalists, who have created a stalemate in Asia Minor
by holding out against the Greek forces.
King Constantine is said to have expressed conf
Gence that Greece will ultimately defeat the Turks in a
decisive manner, but there is little reason TO believe
that this can be done without the aid of Great Britain
and prob ably of France. These nations may have to
do finally what they would better have done when they
gave Greece permission to engage against the Turks
Great Britain has refrained from active participa-
lion with the Greeks against the Turks, probably be-
cause of the threat of the Turks TO involve Musselmans
in middle Asia and India against British rule in those
districts. Great Britain plainly has been brought to
the point of making a choice between two evils in the
Near East.

THE O OLD U. S. a.

We had hoped that unspeakable skunk Big Bill"
Haywood. who deserted his deluded fellow-criminals at
the prison door and ran away to Russia leaving them TO
face the music alone, would never return to these Unit
ed States.
Big Bill" If properly named would be known as
Bad Bill" and there are those who call him yellow
Bill" which, 1t would seem, is properly descriptive, for
now that he finds food scarce and living hard in Rus
sa he wants TO desert Lenine and Trotzky. just as he
did his own comrades here in the shadow OF the peni-
tertiary.
But it is inded l~aughable to note that big Bill
finds the heaven Of Russia to which he fed, less de-
sirable than the stone wall of a prison in poor old,
down-trodden, capitalistic America.
