THE BRITISH EMPIRE

The British empire is not falling to
pieces. 1t is consolidating. We are
likely to imagine that the spirit of the
times, which runs to independence and
self-determination, is slowly disinte-
grating the vast territory governed by
Grea Britain.
! To such conclusion we are the
more prone because very intense
| propaganda has been carried on by
those whose wish has been father to
| the thought. Yet anyone who cares
to look at the facts must realize that
the centripetal are moro powerful than
the centrifugal forces in Great Brit
ain.
For at the bottom it is a question of
self-interest. And Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa, as
we'll as the Asiatic colonies, know that
their existence is safer and their pros
perity more assured by maintaining
union with the rest of the English
world than in isolation
Great Britain may have conquered
her possessions by force, for she got
them in the days when force was ON
nipotent; but size does not keep them
by force. She las been sllrewd
enough to change her policy SO
that, whereas the colonies Of Spain
have practically all revolted, thoCe of
Great Britain Gro more closely bound
now than ever
1t is not the mother country's army
and navy that keeps Canada, for in
ctance; it is that Canada finds it in
every way more advantageous to be
linked with the rest of the English
world than to go it alone.
In other words for the old tie of
conquest, such as Rome's or SPANS,
there has been substituted tie new
tie Of mutual benefit, such as creates
On American trust.
And in the moot friendly co-opera-
deserve great credit for their intel
igent handling of colonial problems,
especially for realizing that it is not
military force, but the profitableness
of unity, which is the cohesive force
of the empire.
And inthe most friendly co-opera-
ton with Great Britain and her col
onies the United States of America
has everything to gain and not
thing to fear.

THE ETERNAL MYSTERY.

All these little petty things con-
front all editor, and if he takes them
seriously, he will wonder just at what
time this funny" person does really
want to see his name in print.
An Ohio man who got offended at
something, told one of his local papers
not to use his name again in the paper.
Some time later it again offended. He

The Comstock lode produced $780,.
100000 of gold and silver in the 30

HOBBY RIDERS.

salvaged the bits of Irvine with which
his letter packages are tied, knotted
them together and rolled them into q
ball, now nearly two feet in diameter
and weighing almost 20 pounds, re-
minds one Of a Spoonriver character.
He was the chap whose lofty purpose
drove him to memorize the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica and who earned an
early epitaph. Everyday life is replete
with characters whose oddities are not
always so apparent. There is the in
veterate collector of tobacco tags. the
artist who plasters china with glazed
cigar labels in the name Of the esthetic,
the genius who carves from solid wood

and the collector who solicits celebri-

Portland Oregonian. Happy is he who

Every decade shows a gradual move
ment from the country to the city, but
special reasons increased the rapidity
OF the movement in the past few years.
The high pay in the war industries
drew many men to the cities. Re.
cruits were excused from military serv-
ice for the very purpose Of increas-
ing industrial production. After the
war hundreds Of thousands Of men re-
leased from army service were not
content to go back to country homes,
but sought way Of making a living
in the important towns. One Of the
advantages which the period of less
ened business activity has brought
Cong with many disadvantages is that
1t has reversed this movement, says
st. Louis Democrat Farmers organ
izations say that former residents of
the country are leaving the cities by
the thousands.

SIMON BOL WAR

Simon Bolivar. the liberator, has.
been called the South American Wash
ington. The careers OF the two were
similar in many ways. Each was q
leader in freeing American soil from
European overlordship. Each gave
himself high-mindedly and unselfsnly
to the cause Of American independ-
ence. Each struggled against enor-
nous d1scouragements. Each had his
Valley Forge. Bolivar was driven from
Caracas as Washington was driven
from New York to Philadelphia. Each
eventually became the head of the new
nation he had created Tin Bolivar's
case more than one nation) and each
filled a continent with his fame, says
New York Tribune. Bolivar alone
ended his life in bitterness and dis
1llusionment;; dying an exile from
Venezuela and saying on his deathbed,

erican revolution plowed in the sea-"

The expected has happened. Carrier
pigeons have been beaten badly by an
army plane in fight from Portland
to San Francisco. There may be faster
birds than the carrier pigeon, but this
victory at least leaves man a runner

Of advising the farmer, but no great

many women are still working for the
railroads in clerical positions and they

arc good, and the treatment of the

these are required the railroads have
provided rest and lunch rooms, and
there are matrons whose business it is
to see that the women are comfortably
situated and cared for.
In the banks, too, women are going
more and more into clerical work.
They are working as cashiers and as
sistant cashiers, and in the branches
for women customers they hold Jobs
as paying tellers and adjustors. The

More and more in our modern civilian
ton, the people are realizing the im-
portance of wholesome food properly
cooked. The science of cooking has a
prominent place in our public schools
and colleges, and we have pure food
laws. Our women young and old are
proud to say, II can cook a good meal,
one you will really enjoy" That is as
it should be. To the kitchen may be
traced many of the successes or fail
ures of Life, says Thrift Magazine.
Many child has failed to make his
grades at school from lack Of strength
of mind and body because so little in
telligence was practiced in the kitchen.
Many man and boy have failed to hold
their jobs because of poor food badly
cooked. A great deal is said about
economy in the kitchen. What is true
kitchen economy? It is to provide not
necessarily the expensive food, or the
cheapest food. but the purest and best
materials, and x11en to properly cook
them.

Since the war closed Bolshevist
theory has undergone radical change.
1t has been found that an Utopian
brotherhood is impossible and that
communism is the forerunner of chaos,
says the Perth (Australia) Western
Mail. In law and order and obedi-
ence to fixed social economic laws
alone, can national progress be made
and national security maintained.
Russia's bitter experience through vio-
lent abnegations of these laws should
be warning and an object lesson to
apostles of militant socialism the
world over.
