mistake Of permitting his name 10 be employed

he learned that widows and orr hans had suffered
through trusting IN things because he had loaned

offices and factories one may see
the vacation lists going up on the

glad 10 see them, except that some
body they seem to be so incom-
plete-so selfishly incomplete.
For example. I was down at the

on the wall saw the vacation list:
Sam, one Of the clerks, was going to
/ be gone from July 1st TO July 18th
/ Alexander. one Of the drivers, Will
be vacating from July 18th TO July
/ 22nd.> Another driver was going to
take the next week off, and so on.
But nowhere on the list was the
name of old oscar, the delivery
horse. He was not down for any
vacation. He had been overlooked
again.
Every year for more years than
care to remember, have been
/ looking on that vacation list for Os-
cars name, but Oscar has never had
any vacation yet. Why shouldn't
I Oscar and all the other hard work
ing horses have vacations? Why
shouldn't the COWS have vacations;
and the pigs; and the goats? The
grocery clerks and the grocery driv-
/ ers have outings. why not Oscar, the

I would like 10 see such an out

was done. I would load them up on
trucks and bring them home. tired
and happy but ready 20 do their
work next day with renewed vigor
and vitality
I have often heard OF a horse

We do not know with the certainty Of evidence
just what Admiral Sims said in the much reported
London speech. We do know that the secretary
OF the navy has peremptorily revoked his leave OF
absence and ordered him home at once. This Is the
best of interrupting the discussion Of his
reported utterance, the quickest way Of finding
just what he did say 1t may be well for all
OF to defer further criticism of the admiral
I'll have that evidence And though many Of US
Will incline to sympathize with the admiral who
a fine and brave sailor, with notable
record just back OF him, may well defer that
too
Admiral Sims may thank George Harvey for
making the navy departments action inevitable

delicate relations In the direction OF England
They would hardly stand any more straining. But
II probably is more to the point that in the navy

RESPONSIBILITY.

The way hieh school girls ought to dress is worry
ing a lot Of folks. mostly teachers But the Parent
Association of Indiana recently pointed out where
reform should commence. namely, in the home.
Misguided pride on the part OF parents Is respon-
sibIe for the evil Of extravaganza dressing among
school grls. Mrs. smith wants her daughter look
a little bit better than Mrs Jones. and the result
has been a competition runous to the ideals for
which schools exist
