ITO conscientious people, anxious to do
their full duty by thei- families, there
- is no question harder to settle than
where to draw the line between selfishness
| and unselfishness.
We do not want to be pigs. Neither do
we yearn to the domestic goat. We recog-
niZe our OBLIGATIONS to our parents, our
brothers and sisters, our husbands and
wives, and children but we also have a duty
to ourselves And sometimes it seems impos-
sibe to tell whether it is better to offer our
selves upon the sacrficial altar erected for
us by our near relations, or to turn our
tracks upon it and flee for our lives. Either
way is filled with heartbreak and bitter re-
greet
This problem is peculiarly a feminine one
because men are not often called upon to
sacrifice themselves for their families while
women constantly are. 1t is conceded that
man has a right to his individual life and
to make of it what he can but a woman's
life is considered as belonging to those about
her, and a family has no more hesitation in
taking it from her, and using it for their
own behoof and benefit than they would in
selling her umbrella and sheltering them
selves under it on a rainy day
Nobody expects the boys in a family to
give up their careers and stay at home to
cosset a crochetty old mother and father.
When sister makes a bad marriage and has
houseful of children with nothing to sup
port them on she doesn't expect brother to
shoulder her burden for her. 1t never occurs
to one of the boys that he must give up all
thought of marriage and having a home of
his own because his mother has died and
there are little brothers and sisters to be
reared.
Oh, no. It's daughter who gives up her
job with it's freedom, independence, it's pay
envelope it's broader interests to come home
and nurse the old people. It's sister who
puts from her all dreams of love and romance
to work for another woman's children and
mother them. At the time it seems noble
and heroic thing to Martha to give her all
to her family, but when she S an old woman
and looks back upon her sacrificed life, she
is mighty apt to think that her martyrs
crown is nothing but foolscap, after all.
She can see that hired servant could
have mnistered to her parents just as eff
fectively as she did, and that her other
bothers and sisters should have been forced
to do their part in caring for them instead
of wishing the whole job on her. She can
see that the nephews and nieces she slaves
to put through college would have made
stronger men and women if they had been
compelled to make their own way.
She can see that she has spent her strength
in encouraging the little peculiarties and
fostering the vanities of those about her;
that her unselfishness has bred selfshness
in others, and that in reality she has wasted
her life in a mistaken sense of duty.
For she has entirely ignored the duty she
owed herself which was to levelor the tai
ents God gave her, make the most of the
opportunities that came her way, and to pro-
vide for her own future SO that, in her turn,
she should not be burden upon others.
For that is the tragedy of the family

Watermelons and Moonshine

The ThOmasVilIe Times-Enterprise upon
learning that one man is dead and several
others in serious condition from drinking
moonshne whisky after eating watermelons,
says:
1.-The moral of this is don't drink moon
shine during watermelon season or any other
time"
We can't understand when man is full
of watermelon why he would want anything
else.-Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
Well, perhaps it is because the combina-
ton, watermelon and moonshine," sounus
so inviting. We used to pull watermelons
by moonshine. Sometimes they were ripe.

Close Arms Factory

A dispatch to the Havas Agency from Dan

Ford Too Speedy

Freight rate reductions on Henry Ford's
Toledo, Detroit & Ironton railroad have been
made too rapidly to comply with the regula-
lions of the interstate commerce commission.
His application to file a tariff reduction by
20 per cent the rate on stone from Sibley,
Mich, to Detroit, was for this reason denied
by the conHmission.
Mr.. Ford put into effect reduction on
July 26 of five cents a hundred on this traf-
fic, and under the regulations thirty days
must elapse before additional reductions can
be made in the same traffic.

Danube Traffic

DduuDe lFaII1C
Walker d. Hines, American arbitrator OF
the ownership of German vessels in the Dam
ube, in making his decision regarding Danube
shipping under the peace treaty, took oc-
cason to suggest unofficialy how the Bal
kan states could increase traffic on the
Danube by 100000 tons barge capacity an
nually without new capital. He explained
that simply by saving four days in time of
loading and unloading on the frontiers and
eliminating unnecessary stops more tonnage
could be handled.
Mr.. Hines passed more than year study
ing the Danube question. Extensive investi-
cations were conducted to settle questions
causing keen controversy, including the valid
ity of seizures Of 100000 tons of barges and
$4,000 horsepower in tugs made by Serbia,
Roumania and France in the last days Of
the war
The point most strongly contested was
whether privately owned boats were immune
from contlscation. The arbitrator decided
that nearly all the boats were operated for
military purposes by the Austro- Hungarian
war ministry, and he upheld the validity Of
the seizures and confirmed the ownership Of
the vessels by Jugo Slavia, houmania and
France.
Mr.. Hines partitoned practically the entire
Danube fleet among the various Allied gov
ernments using the river.
He almost finished his work as special
arbitrator.
