OLD LACE

Halfway out of winter, Halfway into dust, Here's what the year deserted Here in the snow field just This old Queen Anne's lace, powdered Like 8 wig of snow That sunlight shall devour Before more hours go. Here in the cold recesses Only the root possesses In between the wind What life was in the stem. But the empty seed shuck Is stuck above the snow, And spring shall bear it under When slender new ones grow. al,ntI, Ion AStlau ir, Christian Science MOnitOI

Hess may be crazy. But Calico
was labeled cray" when he an
nounced that the world went
around the sun. Luther was lab
eled crazy" when he deserted the
Roman Church, while St. Joan OF
Arc was labeled "ultra-crazy"
when she turned the tide in
France.
Many OF my friends think that |
am crazy because | believe that
this war ultimately will do the
whole world l lot OF good. But we
all have our strong points and
our weak points. / confess that
my weakness is the belief that the
world always has been growing
better and is glowing better every
day, even now 1t is true that air
planes have developed into terri
hc weapons for destruction; but
they will also serve as mammoth
doves for peace. Righteousness,
justice, and mercy are far more
fundamental than armies, battle
ships, or submarines. Therefore,
when planning our lives, or our
businesses, or our investments
during 1871, keep in mind that
the war may be over in 1912.
There can be 1000 or $4,000
Hesses. This is something that
and the other pessimists

ing war. Then the Hess incident
brings us up with a sudden jerk,
makes us rub our eyes and wonder!
Watch the Airplanes
Armies are helpless TO desert eX-
cept with the cooperation OF their
officers. Members OF the Navy
can do little by themselves, but
are dependent upon their COM
manders. Armies must be fed
battleships must be fueled; and
even lone submarines are useless
without torpedoes. The present
system OF warfare has been built
up through the centuries under
centralized control whereby the
soldiers and sailors are mere help.
less pawns. The idea of a demo.
cratic" Army or Navy is beyond
Imagination! II never did exist:
il does not now exist; and it never
can exist. With filters, however,
the situation is entirely different,
Each plane is Lord unto itself and
is free TO go anywhere it wishes
and land anywhere it desires.
There can be a truly democratic
air force.
Confidential information has for
some time been coming through
that airmen on both sides have
been giving up voluntarily to the
enemy. This was the real reason
for the Italian collapse. The
Quakers have some very interest
ing stories to tell along these
lines. They, who do not believe
in war. have especially been on
the lookout for filters who land on |
enemy soil, being tired Of the war
and its brutalities. Their motto |
is: BE kindly to everyone. but |
to the enemy filters.
They may become the worlds |
peacemakers."

than was requested. The major
part will go 10 the police and Are
men.
Largest department reduction
will be the amount allocated for

made because of generally improv-
ing business conditions in the city.
Police and fremen were voted
the major portion of the raise.
Charles Eaton. chairman Of the
budget committee, urged that the
council be sparse with raises in
pay, because OF the decline in pay
ment OF delinquent taxes which
has been an important source Of
revenue. President Of the board
of public works, Alton p. W. Hew-

icer: 81 suppose all these men
now in training will someday make
up a new and powerful American
Legion" To this he replied:
They will probably form into an
American Legion. but they will not
have much influence. The filters
will be the dominating force after
the World War II. They will have
their own organization; will con-
tinue TO have their own planes, and
in an emergency-could bring
about or squelch any revolution.
II may well be that these filters,
which we are now training to
fight the Germans, will someday
rule over US.

dependent It is upon supplies; the
bigger a navy is, the more depend

How Long Will the War last?
The military men with whom ]

long. drawn-out war, extending
flom five to ten years. The Navy
men, who are rearing to CO.,
talk of a war of from three to FIVE
years When, however, | talk with
officers of the air force, | find that
they look forward to very much
shorter war. They visualize the
tremendous destruction possible to
both sides with a constantly in
creasing force of bombers. One
prominent officer OF the United
States Air Corps gives me. the
DEFINITE date of November, 1912,

Never use an abrasive cleaner
on your shiny new nickel kitchen
and bathroom fixtures. Instead
wash them first with soap and wa
ter. then polish with whiting moist
ened with Inequality household
ammonia. When harsh abrasive
is used on nickel it eventually will
wear it off ard after that cleaning
is an ever-present task. Whiting
made into a paste with household
ammonia will also remove egg
stains from silver and is fine for
polishing mirrors. However, with
the latter it is very important to
avoid getting dampnGss on the back.
The best way TO use the paste is to
coat the glass with it, then rub it
eff and polish with a clean dry
cloth This method can also be
used on the glass in pictures, taking
