Sunday, Joan wouldn't be busy and
he was hoping to have the whole

BARBARA, watching his face,

Yes"
There was a moment of silence,
while Barbara studied her plate
thoughtfully. Outwardly she was
calm, but in her heart she felt a

of this girl-whoever she was-who
had made such Roadway while she,
Barbara, had been given only casual,
impersonal friendship.
Then the hot. defiant challenge
flung to her unknown adversary.
She can't have him!" Barbara
told herself.

Good Cheer In the Home.
There has never been time in the
history of the United States when
home cheer was more important. The
business world is still in the throes
of postwar financial readjustments.
The disturbances of the world outside
the four walls of a home are dis
quieting to mental peace. Business
acumen has to be keen to meet ex-
traordinary monetary situations, and
successfully cope with them. Men
and women who are in any way in
volved or associated with commercial
or professional transactions are seek
ing to find or to keep firm footholds
In the shifting sands of these finan-
cial times. There is turmoil. There is
mental distraction. There is unrest
in the psychological atmosphere all
of which things are disturbing to
peace, and the cheer and comfort
which is attendant upon it.
The term cheer leader, so well rec
ognized in the field of sports, may
we'll be applied to the person in a
family who is able to arouse good
cheer in it's members. This family
cheer, while it differs in its form Of
expression from one of merely shout
ing to raise the morale of players, is
even more needed in its smaller field
of the home. Its quieter method is as
successful in elevating the family spir-
it's as the yociferous noise of many
voices under the direction of good

enthusiasm for happiness, but it has to
be tempered with sympathetic APP

Fighting Forces Small
i'm Eighteenth Centur

The early Roman empire p0liced
the entire Mediterranean world with
an army of about 100000. In11914 a
single poor province, Serbia, put in
the field more than twice as many.
The Middle ages restricted armed
feudal service outside of the SOL
dier's immediate locality for 4QA
days. From 1914 to 1918 millions Off
men, the survivors of those original
ly modified, were held with the
colors for more than four years. But
at no time in history was war more
successfully limited than in the 100
years ending in 1775.
To understand how limited were
the Eighteenth century wars we
must first note how small were the
armies in proportion to the ,popula-
ton. A few examples will suffice.
In 100 France, with about 100000
souls, was the first military power
in Europe. A fully conscript country
can mobilize about a tenth of its
total population. Therefore, had
France then suffered from or en-
joyed a universal service army on
the democratic plan, general mo-
bilization would have given her
nearly 100000 trained or partly
trained men. BY the greatest eff
forts she raised 100000.
In 1873, with about 100000
souls, a full conscript mobilization
would have given her more than
100000. She actually had only
10000 on a peace footing, of whom
10000 were militia, and the English
government estimated that for war
these numbers could not be more
than doubled.
The contemporary English army
was small even when compared with
the other armies of the time. In
1776, at the height of the effort to
reconquer the 10 colonies, intensive
recruiting among the 100000 in
habitants of the British Isles fur
nished only $4,000 regulars available
for American service.
It is true that Eighteenth century
strengths are usually given in terms
of rank and file," emitting commits
stoned officers, sergeants and COM
pany musicians none the less, the
foregoing figures tell their own
story.-Hoffman Nickerson, in the
American Mercury.

his judgment in a critical situation
could always be depended upon, when
he could be brought to the point of
expressing an opinion. He was loyal
to his friends or to those whom he
considered his friends. He would go
far to get a friend out OF a hole.
When you stood off and viewed him
from distance, he seemed to have
very many of the qualities which
make for friendship and popularity.
He never agreed with anybody.

The Household

It is good thing for house when
the homemaker entertains. This as

enjoyment, the pleasure of having
ones friends about one, and of help

under your roof tree. 1t is solely from
the viewpoints of the benefits which
accrue to the house itself.
