ADVENTURE OF
> THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
MORE BIRD PATIENTS

Some very queer birds came to
Doctor Bills hospital.
One was the hoopoe. Did you ever
hear of him? He is a nice little fell
low. bright brown, with wings all
black and white.
He has hard life, indeed. because
not only men shoot him for sport.
but hawks love to chase him.
He doesn't live in America, but
am sure we should love to have him
if he would come.
what happened to you, Henry %
asked Doctor Bill.
"Well, III tell you, Doctor" said
Henry Hoopoe. ut was this way.

minutes when l saw a cloud sort Of

"He was swooping down right at
me, so l dropped the big bug l was

flat and sprawled out my legs and
closed my eyes and pretended l was

know, playing dead.

PAPER MONEY ANNOYING
TO CALIFORNIANS!

The government presses are work
ing overtime to print paper money,
especially 81 bills, as fast as we wear
it out. The crusade to teach the
people to use silver has apparently
failed.
And yet, the custom of using the
actual coin is not beyond the reach
of human nature Most Of the people
of earth, and even those of one
American state, had this custom be-
fore the war.
In England, silver was used up to
one pound, gold sovereigns for single
pounds, and paper only for five
pounds and multiples. In France,
it was silver up to 20 francs, gold
up to hundred, and paper over
that. In Germany, similarly, paper
to 10 or 20 marks, gold to 80 or a
hundred. and paper for larger
In California, we used silver up to
SIS, gold in SIS, $40 and $50 units,
and paper over that. Califolnians
still use silver coin and are an
noyed, when they go east, at the 81
bills thrust on them. Old Califor-
mans would gladly 60 back to gold
also, except that the Federal Re-
serve system makes the banks en-
courage uniformity Of custom
throughout the country.
At any rate, the custom which
millions, including one state-ful of
Americans, found convenient ought
not to be beyond the capacity of
others to acquire.

THE IMPOSSIBLE

Paris papers, perhaps not too seri-
ously, are discussing conscripting
women as well as men for the army.
One of them suggests that the wo-
men may serve their time bearing
either arms or children. The whole
purpose, avowedly, is cannon fod-
der" against the bugaboo of the ter
rible German birth rate.
OF course it will not be done. In
fact, nothing will or can be done
to make France "safe" on that basis.
France VIII always be smaller than
Germany and weaker than England.
1t can only be safe in world in
which Belgium and Denmark and
Fin land are also safe.
Until the weak are safe in their
right, France can not be safe in her
might. To breed cannon fodder
from conscript mothers, or import it
from African. barbarians, is to at
tempt the impossible. and prevent
the possible.
