Thousands Sail Into
Port of Missing Mem

An army of men, numbering nobody
knows how many thousands, men in
the prime and vigor Of their youth,
dropping out Of the life that knew
them, leaving no more trace Of their
existence than footsteps leave in wet
sand, Is an unexpected epilogue to the
great drama Of the war. Preparations
for paying the bonus revealed the dis
! appearance OF this great number Of
men made restless and discontented
with the humdrum ways Of peace by
campaigning and battle and now wan
dering the earth somewhere without
their families and friends knowing
where they are or even II they be liv-
ing or dead. :
Casualties Of war, this huge crew
has sailed into the port Of missing men
just as surely as If they had fallen In
conflict, says the Philadelphia Bulle-
tin. And like the unknown dead, buried
in nameiess graves. they have left be-
hind them sorrowing hearts and minds
tortured by doubt that may never be
resolved. That doubt If a loved one
be dead or alive, If he may be expect
ed to return some time. or II he has
vanished forever, is harder to bear
than the certainty of knowledge as to
the irreyocable loss of son or husband,
and Is cruel cross to ,infiict upon
those who can only sit and wait and
wait.
If the men who have gone their way
into the obscurity Of a changed exist
ence could realize the wrong they are
doing to those who love them they
would surely disclose their where
abouts at least, even If they did not
return. Moreover. until something is
known Of them. their compensation
will be withheld by the government.
Those Of them who are dead without
a word of their fate to their families,
have left their next Of kin penniless,
so far as receiving compensation from
the government is concerned. for to
collect on the bonus. proof of death
must be given. Thus the backwash Of
war Is stfll swirling about the lives Of
thousands Of people, tossing hither and
thither on the waters Of doubt, anxiety
and apprehension. innocent victims Of
the struggle that ended nearly six

lie state right here that that ancient
suw about the attraction Of opposites
may be right as to attraction, but It's
all wrong as to suitability. The hap

founded upon likeness. The more
alike the better unless. perhaps, its

Also supersensitiveness and jealousy
should never be doubled. Two Of

Danger of Differentiation

The forest service says that the re-
duction of the forests does diminish
stream flow. The forest cover acts
as gigantic sponge that holds back
excessive moisture and let's 1t out
gradually into streams. Differentiation
can take place without danger to a
certain point. If the deforestation is
carried too far 1t proves dangerous
through periods of excessive moisture
such as melting snow, which causes
foods. With the forest cover acting as
sponge 1t does lessen floods to a GER
tain extent. The increase IN arabic
lands would diminish neighboring
streams LIP SO far as forest lands would
be taken and placed over in the arabic
lands &.

Writer Laushs at Leu
to Regulate the Sexes

The law and custom may do their
best to establish sex equality, but
neither can hope to undo the work Of
a thousand centuries. Whatever stat
utes may have to say, men always will
seem amusing to women and women
always will seem queer to men.
When woman Is Ill she wishes to
be petted; when a man Is Ill he wishes
to be left alone.
When woman does wrong she can
at once persuade herself that she was
not to blame; when man does wrong
he condemns himself utterly, even
though the greater part of the fault
was another''s. A woman is most at
ease when she has on new garments
man In new clothes feels hideously
conspicuous, says the Baltim0e Sun.
A man can kiss another woman and
love his wife no less; when a. woman
enjoys kissing another man her hus-
band is out Of the picture.
A woman loves all the stime i man
only at intervals.
A man pretends TO know more tnan
he does in an effort to impress his
wife; woman pretends to know less
than she does to avoid hurt to her hus-
bands vanity.
A man hates but little and shows the
little clearly; woman hates much
and contrives to conceal it.
A woman hides her strength; man
hides his weakness.
A man forgives because he can't re
member; woman remembers because
she can't forgive
A woman is religious because she
feels the need of protector; man
is religious because he would cooper
ate with God.
Man is led by his appetite; woman is
led by her curiosity.
Man will not change his mind, be-
cause he first must admit that he was
wrong; woman changes hers for the
sake Of expediency even If she knows
her first opinion was right.
Legislation can't take away ducks
love Of water nor a chickens aversion
to It.

ssThird-Desree" Methods

There is no law preventing the ad.

Is prevalent 1t Is applied to men and
