in present i.nR :t bill i0 make unlawful t lie purchase of Liberty Bonds at less than iar, but. hi.s judgment is very bad. Instead of beins; an act to protect the credit of the United States, it would be one operating to discredit every obligation based on that credit.

( These oblieations. even at. the discount of the current market, are still Entered Felling far above the securities of any other government in the world. Some

comparisons may not be out of place at this time. The tax-exempt per a nt s of the I'nited States at 9S.5G yield the buyer only about ". per cent, while the partially exempt Liberty 1's at 'M yield only 4. 12 per cent to the buyer. Hut ih I'nited Kingdom ."'i's, due in 1921, sell here at Sti. or to yield the buyer 0 1 per cent, with the discount of $14 on $100 which he will pet If carried to maturity. The joint l-sue of British and French o'rf at. 82 yieid ti.l per cent plus the discount of IS per cnt it held to maturity. Dominion 5' of 13-1 are down to JC; Argentine ,Vs to SI; Japanese 4,,is to 90. To enact such a bill as Mr. Wood's would be to deny to a Liberty Bond buyer the marker which he may be in need of and without which his bond would become less valuable to him than it is. To enact it, however, would be to bring a supreme court Judgment of invalidity, for congress has no Mich power over rights of contract, and the power could not be enforced if con Mess had it.

FOOLISH AND FOOL !MOTH KT?S. Why will some mothers make fools of themselves over their boys? i Have they never read .what the Spartan mothers did with the education of! iheir young? It is a pity that some mothers cannot be with their boys when i they are turned out into the world and see what folly this mush-and-milk, ' rtke-my-life-but-spare -nay-boy stuff results in. An eastern minister in a talk to a gathering of mothers, told of one fond i ::nd foolish New York mother who took her enlisted son all the way to the! Texas border in a limousine, insteadof letting him rough it with the other ! guardsmen. This mothering proved almost a calamity to him, when he found ; himself among his fellows. i The fate of boys with fool mothers is worse than that of those who havoi o face war's grim realities without homes in w hich they arc lovingly remem-; bered. This is no diatribe against the fond foolishness of the loving mother. ' tor these things the boy can stand and thrive under. And they give him im-j perishable memories of home, and of the loing care that js so dear in tboi memory. ' '

Eut there is a line 10 be drawn between the tond perhaps almost foolish mother and the fool mother, who demoralizes and handicaps her children by her silly and narrow perspective on life. War is an awful disaster and a sad waste, but it has its values. One of those is found in the fact that it is making men of boys whoso mothers have

done much to make something else oC them. Some of thos boys may event

teach the beginnings of good sense to the mothers who have tried to speiil

woman's clothes in view

With belts and pockets also j scratched we ll soon see naught amiss ; when fancy beaded bags of silk de- ! pends from mannish wrist.
