Pancakes.

These cold mornings are ideal for
the consumption of pancakes. No mat

or what not-everybody is happy when
pancakes appear. There is something
about them the average person likes.
OF course. there will always be some
who will call the pancake "indigesti-
ble." and in other ways attempt to
belittle this great dish. Every success
in life must expect to meet opposition.

day, one may find the indigestible pan

something lacking If only half cooked.
But these shortcomings in no way
reflect upon the pancake itself. Fresh

Another beautiful monument has
been added to the outdoor art of Wash

a high point overlooking the city. her
graceful outlines symbolizing the spirit
of France in a way to inspire all be-
holders. The gift from the women of
France to the American National Cap
ital. this bronze figure of the French
heroine has message of more than
usual significance. During the war the
women of both countries played
large and important part in winning
victory. Their sacrifices. their direct

France suffered more than did the
women of America, for upon them fell
directly the burden Of the heaviest
personal loss. But their spirit was
never shaken. To them the maid Of
Orleans remained an inspiration, and
1t is appropriate that now her effigy
should be erected here at Washington.
Numerous statues of the heroes of
other lands are included in the Wash
ington gallery. This, however, Is the
first in honor of a woman. Those who
have Travelled In France will remember
how frequently the figure of the
maid" appears, in cities and in towns,
everywhere throughout France. Now

cation appears to be almost as far
away as ever. 1t may possibly be
enacted at this present session. but
there is no assurance, and in any
case the appropriation bills will prob
ably have been passed before the new
system is adopted. and at best there
is likely to be a gap of year between
the old and the new scales.
Denial Of the bonus this year with.
out corresponding advance in the
permanent pay rate would inflict a
grievous hardship upon the thousands
who now receive this gratuity. The
$40 month of the bonus is in most
cases just the difference between meet.
ing and not meeting obligations that
cannot be lessened. In some cases it
is the rent. In other cases it is the
grocery bill. I'm other cases it is the
clothing account. In practically all
cases this money is absolutely neces-
sary to keep the family from falling
into debt.

average case be practiced to forestall

Is true that every time it has been
granted it has been accompanied by
the reminder that it Is only an annual
bounty. subject to withdrawal. If the
cost of living had fallen by 20 per cent.
which is about the ratio Of the bonus
to the average government pay. since
the bonus was granted at the higher
figure. there would be equity in dis
continuing it as a communication. But
still there would remain the injustice
!of continued low-scale government pay,
to be corrected as speedily as possible
by basic legislation.
