Little Israel had felt the weight of
her heel-how absurd, therefore, for
an 1sraelite to come crying in her
streets, Repent"
That same message is the word for
our own day. Not by a silly smile
week'-which recalls what Carlyle
once said about "a diet of broad grins''
not by a jejune optimism which says
that man and Godkare one, and that
sin is an absurditg-not by a flaunt-
ing Of mans might and magnificence
but by a humble and contrite turn
ing from our own vain ways to the
Will of the living God, will men and
woman of our time get right. There
is none of us who has not need to
enter upon this penitential season with
contrition and confession.
Jonah's message was more than in
dividualistic. 1t declared that Je-
hovah holds cities and nations to a
moral and spiritual responsibility. A
civic sense and a national sense are
implied as a religious duty Ours it is
to bear the word of God widely to the
largest centers of life. Jonah's going
to Nineveh was like an evangelist's
attempting to convert New York
Lent's lesson of penitence is no more
inwrought in the Jonah story than its
other lesson of a freely offered sal
Yation of the people beyond the pale.
This little book marks the high-water
level Of the Old Testament's concep-
ton of the church's missionary obliga-
ton to the Gent1es. We cannot follow
the logic of the prophets mission to
Nineveh without an effort to carry
bear His Gospel Into all the world
There are no national or ecclesiastical
boundaries to the love of God.

his success in obtaining appropria-
tions to be expended in his district.
Aside from these local expenditures,
congressman's merits are often
measured very largely by his support
or non-support of reformatory
schemes, fostered by propaganda or
ganizations which build up a public
opinion that the public welfare can
be safe-guarded only by the govern
ment taking over some new task and
appropriating money for its support
Besieged on one side by a demand
for increased appropriations and on
the other by a demand for lower
taxes the congressman can hardly
lead the happy life with which he
generally is credited This seems to
be his present plight as regards the

Estimates Of the living costs of

work, made before the welfare divi-
son OF the industrial court at the

half in amount the estimates made
by the girls themselves. Figures sub

based on first hand knowledge. While
it might be Possible for -salesgirls to
clothe themselves on the amount
suggested by representatives of the
employers. it is doubtful S,Sst their
appearance would be satisfactory to
those who pay their wages. Anybody
who rents a room and buys his meals
knows that the figures submitted by
employers are entirely too low. The

Nobody should be compelled to work

Getting Their NUMBER.

A man was wondering the other
day why women understood men so
much better than men understand
women. He attributed it to some oc-
cult power that he called feminine in
tuition. Then he said something
about the mystery of woman, and dis
missed the subject as one beyond the
comprehension of mortal mind.
Stuff and nonsense. There is moth
ing strange about the matter at all.
Women do understand men better
than men understand women. but the
reason for it is because they have had
to. Ever since Mother Eve undertook
to cajole Father Adam into eating
that apple that he knew he should
not eat, and that he didn't crave, any
way. the proper study of Womankind
has been man.
Upon a woman's knowledge of how
some man would react to every situa
ton has depended not only her bread
and butter. but her cakes and ale, her
good times, or bad times, her clothes,
and whether she be kissed or beaten
for what she did. Therefore, it be-
hooved her to explore every nook and
Granny of the masculine mind, and
of the masculine temperament, and
solve every problem of masculine
psychology.
Naturally all of this intensive study
of one subject by generations upon
generations of women, has borne
fruit. That is why we observe that
girl baby is able to work every man
with whom she comes in contact, and
that the female fool can over match
a wise man any day in the week.
For men have had no such neces-
sity to study women as women have
had to study men. Their happiness
and prosperity has not been wholly
dependent on their ability to manage
-
of a few novelistS and playwrights,
they have not bothered to make even
a casual investigation into the femf-
nine mind to see how it works, its
wonders TO perform.
A mans interest has been confined
to the outside of a Woman's head, not
the inside. He has been concerned
with what she did, not why she did it.
If she was beautiful, he admired her
If she was intelligent, she entertained
him. If she was amiable he liked
her. If she was agreeable, he stayed
at home with her. If she was dis
agreeable, he beat it away from her
as fast as he could.
And that was about all. Why, so
little have men studied women, that
not one in a thousand can analyZe a
woman'S tears, and find out when she
is weeping tears of real grief, and
when she is weeping only for revenue.
Nor can the average man distinguish
between nerves and temper, and tell
when a woman should be soothed and
kissed, and when she should have the
law laid down to her.
Also, there are millions of men who
are married toSwomen for forty years
without ever 'ascertaining that their
wives will swallow any proposition
bait, hook and sinker if 1t is put to
them the right way, but that they will
balk at the most reasonable propo-
sition if it is put the wrong way. 1t
is not what you say to a woman, it is
the way you say it, that makes her
purr under your hand or claw like
a tiger cat. Yet there are men who
complain that they never can tell what
their wives are going to do under any
eriyeU circIIDsfauraet

TOlstoy is reported to have told
an American audience recently. that
Russia recognizes in America her best
friend and that when boIshevism has
been replaced by a democratic gov
ernment, we will get the trade of that
country. This sounds all right, but
there is little sentiment in business.
When Russia has money to spend and
something to sell, she will buy where
prices are lowest and sell where they
are highest, just as is done by every
nation and every individual.

It LIS reported that the war depart
rnent is considering the advisability
OF abandoning the military defenses of
the Philippine islands even before rat
ification of the four-power Pacific
treaty. Should this policy be adopted,
it Will be based, it is said, on the con-
teRtion that the treaty guarantees the
security of the islands from attack
by any signatory power and that they
should be left to the protection of in
ternational good faith. The possihil-
ity OF aggression against the islands
by any non-signatory power is regard
ed as so remote as not to deserve con-
sideration. The United States has
maintained garrisons in various parts
Of the Philippines ever since the first
American troops landed in 1898. At
present there are about $500 soldiers
stationed there. Itmight be remarked
that the treaty does not guarantee a
thing until it has been ratified, and
nobody can safely predict what the
senate will do with a treaty. But the
Philippines probably are safe from
attack, in any event

I arrived at the little village of OF

small place in 1865. There were-po
sidewalks. and I walked up the middle
of the one street the town afforded

and proud. I looked eagerly around
as I passed along, hoping to see some
old friend. AS went by the store a
man who was seated on the counter
therein leaned forward and looked at
me, but said nothing A little further
up the street a big dog sprang off the
porch of house and, standing on his
hind legs with his fore feet on the
palings, barked at me loudly and per-
sistently; but I attracted no further
attention. Many of the regiments
