place to learn to practice efficiency is in the home. The orders for tae small article® forgotten and wanted In a hurry are an aggravation to the dealer, which must detach someone for the special service—which eventually is paid for by the sender, who has lhus however, indicated a shortage of brain, work since the necessity n\lght so easily be obviated by the simple process of making a memorandum of the need.

Eventually, this matter of pooling deliveries will be worked out. It must be, if the expense of living continues to increase. A graduated scale of rates for deliveries, based on the value of orders, might stop a lot of hand-to-mouth buying and strengthen housewives' mefnorles a slight discount on packages carried home, above a certain value, might help some. Anyway, between the increasing cost of living and the wage increase in the way of labor, not to speak of the difficulty'of getting it, it la apparent some relief Is much needed.

BADLY ADVISED.

Friends of the socialist party believe that some of Its leaders are in grave error in seeking to make it appear that the party Just now Is the one medium of protest against conscription in this countrfy. This attitude of being against the government has caused Charles Edward Russell, John £pargev JPhelps Stokes, Rose Pastor Stokes and other leaders to announce their withdrawal from the present organization on'the ground that they cannot be so misrepresented. Mr. Debs has not indicated his inclination in the matter. •Patriotic socialists are put In an embarrassing position by the ruling spirits of their party. As an organization, the party has chosen to stand for un-Amerlcanism from the beginning of the present crisis. It has used what small influence it had to hamper the government which protects them. Many of its conspicuous leaders have prostituted free speech. They have made themselves friends and informal allies of America's arch-enemy, violating the hospitality of the land that affords them shelter.

Election statistics have shown repeatedly that one may consider himself a socialist without belonging to the socialist party. Particularly is this true today when so many of the party's leaders have chosen deliberately to follow a course in connection with the war which self-respecting Americans cannot indorse. Socialism is a matter of principle, not of party organization. And any socialist who cannot appreciate the fact that the United States in this war is fighting for principles in

The above are suggestions. Other i and better formations may be devised to flit particular cases. The best formation is the one which advances the line farthest with the least loss of men, time, and control.

When it becomes impracticable for the company to advance as a whole by ordinary means, it advances by rushes.

harmony with the tenets of his own faith Is blinded by prejudice or passion. One wonders if there have not been many resignations from the party by socialists whose less conspicuous position deprives their action of the publicity given to the act of Mr. and Mrs. Stoke* There should have been mapy such. i

GET THIS STRAIGHT.

One of the leading newspapers which has been conspicuous in its criticism of the president in the war preparations now mourns because the American government proposes to place an embargo against certain neutral countries which have been doing a big business exporting necessities of life and of war to Germany. The paper points out that "not so very long ago the American government protested against a blockade of these countries on the ground that it did not comply with the requirements of international law. A deadly parallel is drawn to prove that the United States is inconsistent.

Of course there is ao parallel whatever between an embargo on exports and a blockade. The embargo is wholly the affair of the country that enforces it, and has no tinge of illegality or irregularity. It requires no defense or explanation. A blockade may or may not be according to the requirements of international law.

It appears that such a strained attempt to pick flaws with an American policy ciuld have come only from a source unfriendly to America in the present world struggle.

CODDLING CONVICTS.

The resolution offered by Congressman Rodenberg, of Illinois, in the house of representatives, calling upon the department of justice to investigate the system promoting correspondence between girls and inmates of penal reformatory institutions, calls also for a report to the house of recommendations for legislation which shall stop what it characterizes as a "pernicious, maudlin and demoralizing practice."

There is no prison warden in the land who, in the nature of his office, is not familiar to a greater or less extent with the evil the resolution aims to do away with. And he is a wise warden who performs firmly, if Judiciously, his duty of careful supervision over his prisoners' correspondence.

The campaign of "unopened" and "uncensored" prison correspondence "is always being carried on, by persons whose motives may be altogether good as well as by others whose purposes may readily be questionable. Individuals, on both sides of the prison walls, are liable to resort to any and every expedient for transmitting letters, the object pt which may possibly be the convict's welfare but frequently Is nothing of the kind. All of these people overlook the very Important fact that imprisonment means deprivation of liberty and that deprivation of liberty means all that it says. Incidentally, the warden who fails in his duty to protect his prisoners in his charge from every agency that can or may exploit their helplessness or debauch their morals deserves a sentence in a penitentiary that is better Wardened than his is.

Robert J. McKenty, the noted prison expert, writes of two cases where he as warden discovered a large supply of narcotics in jk convict's mail from one of ihese correspondents, and atrother convict was devoting Jiis letters to a young woman to instructing her how to get away with a sum of money from the trust company she was employed by and defray the expense of a habeas corpus suit in his behalf. And strange as it may seem, the girl was entering most enthusiastically into the plot, as several o£ her confiscated letters showed.

It is now reported that the craters on the moon are not volcanoes at all, but splashes caused by falling meteors. Let's investigate this at once, it may be important.

The advance in ft succession of thin lines is used to eross a wkle stretch swept, or likely to be swept, by artillery fire or heavy, long range rifle fire which cannot profitably be returned. Its purpose is the building up of a strong skirmish line preparatory to engaging in a fire fight. This method of advancing results in a serious (though temporary) loss of control over the company. Its advantage liejs the fact that it offers a less definite target, hence is less likely to draw Are.

Thursday, July 19,1917.

This is a doubtful day with Jupiter, Mercury and Venus all in beneflc aspect, while Saturn, Neptun^ Uranus and Mars are adverse.

Under this rule of the stars misapprehensions and misjudgments are encouraged. It is exceedingly bad for those who are in positions of authority.

Growth of suspicion, criticism of the government and labor difficulties again are presaged.

This should be a fairly lucky day for bankers and brokers, but speculation will be most unfortunate.

Lawyers come into an influence that seems to presage new lines of activity in which great competition will be encountered.

This is a lucky wedding day and it is faorabvle for all social entertainments where men and women meet.

Mercury is in a place that appears to promise that newspapers will be successful in their best alms. Freedom of the press will be maintained, the seers predict, but not until a period of uncertainty prevails and public sen-^ tlment dictates.

Actors and actresses should make the most of this configuration which Is read as promising the beginning of a new era for the stage in America.

Slowing Up Business

President Wilson says ft fa the patriotic duty of the nation to maintain business as usual during this war for world's democracy.

Unprecedented demands are being made on the Industrial interests of the state to increase their production. Electricity furnishes both.power audi light for manorfacturers. Without power and light there can be no increaned production,

The electric light plants of Indiana, ^because of their ability to furnlsK power and light, represent a manufacturing resource to the state that should be carefully conserved in this crisis. Already unusual demands hava been made on these plants for extensions to promote industry and to guard against disasters,. Increasing production requires maximum electric aerylce.

CAPITAL CANNOT BE INTERESTED IN LOSING VENTURER

When yon say by law that electric light companies must sell curwait at! a price so low they cannot supply it at a reasonable profit yon eliminate light companies from the lists of desirable investments for capital. When it be- i comes difficult or impossible for utilities to get capital with whieh to their plants industrial progress ceases, business is "slowed up."

When' the costs of production of a utility are so great there Is no margfcl between its operating expenses and its income there is no money to maintain its plants or pay interest on capital for extensions. The business becomes stagnant, the plant deteriorates and the value of the utility to the comzw}* lityisioft,

In this connection it is prophesied that "signs and wonders" will take place on the battlefields.

The stars appear to promise a wonderful growth in democracy in the sense that all social and radical lines are leveled In the United States.

Persons whose birthday it is may have the augury of disappointments in business, but perseverance will bring success.
