ANDREW CHALLENGES
SECRETARY ON BONUS

Secretary Mellon has been challenged
by Representative 4. Piatt Andrew, re-
publican. of Massachusetts, formerly
assistant secretary OF the Treasury,
who served overseas for four and one
half years, and is a distinguished serv-
ice medal man, to show how "a sol.
diers' bonus would mean an increase
rather than q decrease in taxes"
This statement was made by Secre
tary Mellon in a letter on tax reduc-
tion to Acting Chairman Green of the
House ways and means committee.
This statement, MIR. Andrew declared,
would seem to mean that. according TO
your calculation the expenditures in
volved in adjusted compensation would
amount to more than s323, ,000, 900 an
nually, which is contrary to every pub
lished official estimate that have seen"

October is trustworthy, with its
calm and golden radienee. Sometimes
sharp, harsh storms come, barring the
trees and SCATTERING the woodland
glory. But in the main you can look
for succession of tranquil days, days
rich with peculiar, quiet, haunting
beauty, made up partly of the memory
of vanished loneliness and partly of
the obscure suggestion of Joy whose
hand is ever at his lips, bidding
adieu. = Above all, tranquility is the
characteristic of these October days.
There is no wind at all, or only the
faintest breathing from the south,
just enough to detach the last red
leaves, but not enough to move them
from their places, so that they drift
down lightly and lazily and lie below
the branch on which they hung The
s,n-drenched air is full of yellow but
terflies, which seem sun-drenched too
and fit as lightly and lazily as the
leaves from red clover to red clover
The bluebirds sing as they did in the
early days of March, with that dainty
liquid MARBLE, which now stirs memory
as it then stirred hope. The hills far
away are shrouded in soft haze, not
clear-cut as in the August sunshine,
but misty, dreamy, shadowy, touched

OCTOBER.

OF all the months in the year Octo-
Der is the most to be counted on for
charm March, the much abused, has
its peculiar and surprising splendors,
its sudden revelations of light, its rich
anticipations of glory to come. But
March is capricious, and April and
May are caprieious. "April's sweet,
rash tears are dried by May" says
the old poet; but May has tears of her
own and is overquick to shed them,
and one of her azure mornings is too
likely to turn into a lowering after
noon, when the unwary have counted
upon her.

THE TROUBLE WITH Us.

A reader has asked us to reprint the
five reasons that the Pope recently
specified as responsible for the rest
lessness and discomfort of the world.
They are these:
The unprecedented challenge to all
authority.
The abnormal aversion to work that
is to be observed on every hand.
The excessive thirst for pleasure as
the chief aim in life.
A gross materialism that denies the
reality of the spiritual in human life.
Some people viii think that all
these reasons could be boiled down in

SOME SPARROW

hard that the tree hit him off the
ladder and broke his arm.--Indian-

SLOWING DOWN

The Long Island railroad is buildino
an approach to one of its grade cross
ings that, it hopes, viii prevent anto
mobile accidents. AS the motorist an
proaches the crossing, low eemen,
walls force him to bear gradually 10
the right, then in order to get over the
railway to make a sharp turn first a.
the left, then to the right again. AS
five miles an hour is as fast as the
turns can be made, drivers will have
time to look for on-coming trains. The
cost of the low walls is trivial.

BABY's TEETH
By DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON

Teething Is a normal process in baby's development. With right feed ing and careful attention to health, it should cause no more trouble than growing nails or fat cells. But par ental ignorance has blamed it for all kinds of alarming ills.
 Don't let your baby have to en- dure the distress and ofttimes dis aster of such ailments as fever, ear ache, diarrhea. swollen glands and oonvulsions, on the theory that teeth ings bound to cause them and that baby has to grin or cry and bear 1t. Call the physician and have him at- tend to the real trouble at once.
 Some pains and fretfulness are frequently present at different teeth ing periods. They seem to occur more in bottle-fed babies than the other kind. Do not seek relief by lancing of swollen gums It is dan gerous and may cause infection. If fever is present, the physician will find the cause in urine, throat, chest or ears, aud remedy it. "Pacifiers" are useess and dangerous. Grand mas old ivory teething ring is much better for baby to chew. .
 The teeth should appear in pairs.
