PATRIOTIC Italians suggest that
five million each contribute 81
year to meet Italy's five-year
payment on the United States war
loan. Italians are ardent patriots and
one very good sign is the affection
they retain for the mother country rs
every honorable worthwhile man
should do, after they move to an
other country. For instance Gae.ano
Napolitano, a druggist living near
Detroit, suggests: He agrees to pay
800 to the Italian consul every
month for five years and sends to this
writer as first installment, six good
checks for 500 each. The checks
lave been returned, the facts print
ed. They throw light on Italian
character not we'll understood by
many in this country.
A BAD condition in French fl
"A nance, the franc selling &c for
one dollar. They used to be five for
one dollar before the war.
This country should make an eff
fort to help the French in their trou-
bles, if only for our own selfish sake.
1t is not to our interest to destroy
buying power or stability of govern
ment anywhere in Europe.
FORTUNATELY, the French have
! within themselves power not
fully appreciated in foreign coun-
tries.
And. with or without help, they
will solve their problems. They are
a thinking people, thrifty, highly pro-
-ductiye.
Those that sell France or her cur
rency short will get their financial
fingers pinched.
A n intelligent young New York
"A girl, whose lifelong environ
ment has been a mixture of genuine
capital, and what capital calls so
ciety," rebels in print. She says
formal balls are so stupid, the "un-
alIuring stag lines" (meaning the
rows Of young society gentlemen all
dressed up) are SO deadly dull, that
young ladies of this period are driven
to the eabarcts for intellectual in
spiratiou.
TN heaven where he dwells, II the
j Homestead killings did not send
him somewhere else, old Carnegie
must wonder. He built and gave
away 1000 or moro libraries, think
that be was supplying the needs OF
discontented, ambitious youth.
He should have endowed csbarete,
with Ziegfeld, Berlin and Dillingham;
on the board Of directors.
NNE HUNDRED AND FORTY
" NINE Alaskan foxes, with fur
OF the fashionable color, are shipped
to Sweden, to be used for breeding.
On the journey they will eat 1.-Two
chickens occasionally, each will have
it's compartment, well looked after.
The animals are worth $4,000.
OUCH is the power Of fashion. The
~ furs, collecting germs, are not
sanitary. A $1,000 fox skin is not as
useful for warmth as so cents worth
of wool, and its purchasers waste
enough money TO feed five families in
Europe for a year.
nONT weep, however. The fox
- dealer might as well have the
thousand dollars as the foolish per-
son convinced that wearing the skin
OF a dead animal makes her beaud-
full.
KILLING foxes protects better
n animals, and wearing fox skins
is not as bad as wearing the skins
of unborn Persian lambs.
Even the most fashionable female
might shudder at the thought Of a
savage wes ring the skin of an I'M
born human body. What's the diff
ference?
