In addition the Allies. who had

That the fire smoldered for hours

the smoke, got out of bed and was
overcome as she reached the seat of

"Old-Fashioned" Winter

Officials of the U. s. Weather Bureau
hate to do any long-range forecastlng,
but the other day they did break down
and admit that we seem to be in for an
old-fashioned "earmuff" winter. This,
they fastened to point out, was only a
guess, but it is the best guess available
and it looks like very good one.
And for guess like that we ought to
be thankful. For an earmuff winter is
part of those good old days to which we
are so anxious to get back. II we could
get a good taste of one, we might be able
to pretend that this puzzling, cltlf1ed,
chromium plated modern world OF ours
had actually gone back to a simpler ana
easier manner of living.
To make it complete, of course, we
would need law or resettlement ad-
ministration or something to enable
everyone in the land to take advantage
of it. Southerners don't get earmuff
winters - though they have manifold
conversations for the lack - and city
folk get cheated out of winters enjoy
ment But we can't have everything,
and for what we do get we should be
grateful.
It is a funny thing, how we shy away
from winters. We remember the agony
Of getting out of bed in an Arctic temper
allure, the singing pain OF frost-nlpped
feet, the sluSh and the horrible, dead
gray, dirt-and-snoW mixture that fills the
CITY streets, and announce that we could
get along forever without any more OF It,
But winter - especially in the country
lis great institution.
It is infinitely beautiful to look at, for
one thing. Fields and hills are trans
formed by their rolling white blanket;
leafless plots of woodland stand out with
the clear-cut tracery of lines on Japa-
nese print; all the harsh angles OF things
are rounded off; the litter and the heed
less uglineSs with which man surrounds
his dwellings are covered, and there IS
sparkle and glitter to the land which
suggests that the world was made only
day before yesterday.
Then, for the cold and the shivers,
there are compensationS. Getting out OF
bed on cold morning may be painful -
but what about getting into bed on cold
winter night? What about relaxing IN
chair before the fire in the evening, and
being ineffably snug and coy while a
blizzard bowls outside? What about Sit
ting down to breakfast of buckWheat
cakes and sausage which can be eaten
with clear conscience because OF the
zero weather? Are these nothing?
We need not mention the things the
Youngsters can do-the coasting, the skat-
ing, the skiing, the tunneling through
drifts, the sleigh riding. We can touch but
briefly on the beauty of winter night, with
great stars overhead and the packed
snow creaking underfoot. These things
are merely added compensations. An
old-fashioned earmuff winter, says the
weather bureau? Well, there are worse
things

"Fair" Fighting

Five governments, those of the United
States, Great Britain, Japan, France and
Italy, have signed an agreement to keep
submarine warfare within bounds. Ger
many, Russia and all other submarine
owning powers are to be invited to add
their names. No warship, whether sur
face or submarine type, may sink or Grip
pie dangerously any merchant vessel
without having first placed the passen-
gers, crew and ships papers in place
of safety. That is the principal pledge.
Ships life boats are not regarded as "a
place of safety" if sea and weather con-
ditions make it unlikely the victims can
reach shore or another vessel able to take
them on board.
The rule would stop the sinking Of
merchant ships without warning and the
abandonment of survivors far from land.
The trouble with such rules, of course, is
that they will be forgotten or deliberately
ignored in crucial war times. A war is
not fencing or boxing exhibition but a
vicious struggle for mystery. Efforts to
"humanize" it show growing realization
of it's horror and waste, but they are only
mild alterations, not cures. N

itself would represent enough different
commodities to show the rise and fall Of
general prices. With the aid Of an intel
ngent Chinese restaurateur, "the local
chow mein magnate," he figured out the
costs and variations of ham, veal, chicken,
celery, cornStarch, onions, sugar, rice, oil,
bean sprouts, soy bean sauce, water chest
nuts, bamboo shoots, fresh eggs, salt, and
so on.
Thus he determined that added to-
gether, in dish or column Of figures,
they did indeed seem to rise and fall
rather evenly with the rise and fall OF SO
or 100 other commodities. That's fine.
If you want to know how the cost OF liv-
ing is going, just eat chow mein regularly
and watch it's price fluctuations.
