THE TOUGH OF NATURE.

One, touch of nature makes the whole world kin and one touch of discomfort or mishap makes a whole crowd jovial and friendly. The psychology is the same in both instances. When responsive chords are touched they vibrate in unison. The touch of nature as a kin-. ship maker is well established, and the effectiveness of dis comfort as a maker of jovial friendship can be observed at almost any time and place.
 A sudden downpour that sends people scurrying to cov- CT makes for pleasant ex- changes that would not be thought of by the same indi- viduals under ordinary con- ditions. A jam in a street car in the city breaks down bar ciers that formality would raise. A mishap routs austere ,taidness and cold aloofness and brings onlookers together
 n common interest.
 In such breakdown of barri- CTS, the sense of hnmor asserts
 tself. Men and women laugh with each other at their dis :Omfiture. This is a saving grace to a. saving response to 1iscomfort,. that cynics might hold would logically lead in che other direction.

THIS TIME MAY COME.
The time may come:

The time may come: When someone will not be ex- tolling the '.good old days" When oldsters will not be view ing with alarm the goings-on among the young people. When the comic sheets will not pretend that husbands are henpecked.
 When popular magazines will think up some new way to adorn their covers without further glorifying the Ameri- can girl.
 When a man will work as hard as he leads his wife and his friends to think he works. When cynics will not be knock ing the church and the church will not be knocking the world. When an employee admits he is being paid all he's worth. When professional reformers admit that society is o. K. and voluntarily quit their jobs. When a man gives up his auto mobile and explains that he cannot afford one.
 When somebody will not be prophecying that the world is coming to an end.
 When suckers will not be stung by fake investments salesmen.
 Yes, the time may come. But we don't expect to be alive to enjoy that millennial dawn!

 Witness (calmly) There's a hole in the fence.

The controversy, which has
seethed through both the Navy and
Marine Corps. grows, out Of pro.
visions of present law which gives
married officers allowances for de.
pendents.
While the single officers claim
that it is a bachelors tax" the
married officers have contended
that 1t merely represents the addi-
tional cost of keeping a family.
High ranking officers of the Navy
urged the bill proposed by Repre-
sentative Hale (R.) OF New. Hamp-

Corps pay, but Secretary of the

The Budget Bureaus objection
was based on the fact that the
legislation would cost $748, 900 more
a year in officers pay.

Fishermen in Hawaii
Start Drive on Sharks

HONOLULU, Feb. IS 1.N.S.e
Japanese fishermen, who supply
the Honolulu markets, have started
their annual drive against schools
of sharks, which are driven in from
the open sea by the rough weather
each winter and become so bold
that they steal fish right off the
fisherman's hooks. Two drives
against the scavengers in the past
two weeks have netted nearly 100
large specimens.
The sharks congregate just out
side the reef off Honolulu harbor
and feast off of schools of small
fish known as "akule" which al
ways find ready market in the
city. Shark fins are considered a
delicacy among the Orientals, who
use them for soup.

to Resign the Money

sister.
The tone Of the letter demanding
the resignation indicates the econ

poses to leave him the titles and
glory that go with the position, but
demands that actual control OF the
property, amounting to millions Of
dollars, which the Salvation Army
has wheadled out of it's victims at
millions of street meetings, shall be
taken away from him.
The council rejected General
Booths proposition to turn over the
swag to committee to be named
by himself.

stlUcted to devote one hour each

basis of those outlines.
Language fractions should be in

to teach members the English
language.
Organizational ReIations-Dues
Our present method OF dues pay
ment is adapted to conditions where
the worker gets paid by the month
or where the organization meets
only once month. 1t should be
substituted by weekly dues pay
ment. The amount of dues should
be based on the weekly earnings,
one per cent for workers and two
per cent for non proletaTian ele-
ments. The dues income should be
distributed in the following man
ner-70 per cent to the national Of
flee, 10 per cent to the district, 10
per cent to the section and 10 per
cent to the nucleus. The national
office should maintain on its pay
roll all the main fupctionaries of
the districts.
This proposed change will more
than double the dues income and will
enable the center to supply forces
to various sections of the Party, &C
cording to the need Of conditions,
ard not as it is at present, where
the deciding factor is the financial
ability to maintain functionary.
The financial side of this proposal
will upon analysis prove absolutely
sound.
The same principle must be fol
lowed III the maintenance cf our
rtess; we must establish a central
