STAND BY THE BOYS. Word has come back from the boys in France, "We will be all right over here in the trenches if you folks over there 'will stand by us.' What do they mean by standing by? They mean for lis to do our part in food conservation, in buying Thrift Stamps and Liberty Bonds. They mean for us to stand by the Red Cross with our money, our hands and our brains. They mean for us to refrain from buying non-essentials so that the men and women who make them can be relea.-ed for the making of essentials. They mean for us to place a .mecent stamp upon our periodicals when we have finished reading them so that, the boys may have good things to read. They mean for us to write cheerful letters to them. One young soldier said, '"I don't mind the danger and discomforts if I feel that everybody is all right at home, but when I get a letter saying that Frank is out of a job and sister Ilattle is sick and food is high and they can't afford to buy much and there is no coal well, I fee! like the devil." Remember that by the time that letter reaches France Frank may have a better job, Hattie may bo fat and rosy, food may be easier to get and the coal shortage ended. Even if that is not true write cheerful letters anyway. The boy over there needs cheer, it isn't his place to be cheering you. Remember that whatever discomforts we may be having over here they are comforts compared to what they have over there. Let us not fail our boys who are fighting for us. The very kast e can do is STAND BY.

BUSINESS OF "RAILROADING." Jack Connelly, vaudeville artist, replying, in one of his skits with Sister Jane, to the question as to how it is expected to make McAdoo president in 1320, fays: "They are going to railroad him in." Which suggests the reason why Mr. McAdoo announced to the congressional committee that while he did not favor permanent government ownership, he did demand thwt the present government control of the roads continue "for an indefinite period." If tbe war should terminate in 1?1S or 1319 and the administration could retain control of the roads until after the 1020 presidential election it could exercise a tremendous amount of influence on 2,000,ono railway employes to induce them to vote the democratic ticket. Tbi3 would be a potent factor in assuring the democrats four more years in office, and that result having been achieved the administration would gladly relinquish the burden of operating the roads. On the other hand it would relieve railroad operators and opponents of fedtral ownership of roads of any anxiety which, ihey might have arising out of the belief that, this is to remain a fixed policy. It is another instance of playing to both sides in the controversy to make political capital, and it is characteristic of the President's son in-law. Federal ownership of railroads is not approved by the majority of the people. It is at present tolerated a.s a war measure, and already there are signs of its inefficiency. The people have never been called upon to vote on the question as a fixed policy of government, and Congress will be recreant in its duty if it fails to adopt a measure which will insure the prompt return of the roads to rrivate control at the earliest practicable date after the war is over. And such mea-uro should be mandatory, naming a day certain, no; left to tho discretion of the executive.

marks and legale one with the latest gossip of town. Hut the era of the high front" rail and the cross seats put an end to the old-time familiarity between the driver and the inquisitive passenger. The box-seat grew narrower and narrower, and drooped lower and lower, until one day John and his horses vanished, and there sat, behind, the low dash hoard of the minor bus. a grim, grimyhanded chauffeur, solitary and nionos;. liable. On the step of the bus. however. th re I'iill lingered the time-honored inductor whose caustic wit and saucy banter both Punch and Dairy Fain have made famous. The omnibus company presently decked him out in uniform. At once he grew supercilious. His cheery c ill. "lei:k Henk. All the wye for a penny!" ceased to temp! the pedestrian to sport a cop.ior for a ride, and when t lie war broke out ip donned tho khaki ;v.l irallan'iy gave way to London's latest creation, tl.e girl conductor. It took some time for the Miiprisoj public to accept this startling ii:tiova ion. She wa a neat, trim young person, in short-skirted uniform, peaked cap, and li g?ings. The ticket puncher was swung over her shou' dot l'he a bandoleer, :;r.d she punched the tickets for in r "fares' in a manner altogether businesslike and methodical. Sh-.1 whs proof astainst all the badinage of the sidewalk, and soon pruv d hers If equal to every occasion. She could haul in pns.eng.M-i running alongside the moving bus with ( a. y dexteriM ; she could push ladies up the narrow steps to the lop without turning a hair, and her minatory reminder. "Full up on top!" recalcitrant "fares'' learned to obey implicitly. Amid the protean life of London in war time she still holds her o n. Her uia.-c-.iline pre.lece.-sot' is only one of the London bus's contributions to the war. In the growing dearth of taxis, the bus has good-naturedly stretched iis capacity to the utmost. H allows passengers, ia dt fiance of ante-bellum rules, to crowd its narrow aisle and ciiug to the straps. It works overtime ungrudgingly, and picks its way through the dark streets with unerring precision. It bravely faces the peril of air raids, and is not only always on hand to give crowds of sight-seeing Tommies a friendly lift, but it was one of the first to volunteer for the front. Regardless of the incongruity of its route signs and its familiar placard-;, advertising Jones' soap or Smith's play, it hurries whole battallions and brigades through French lanes and over shell-riven terrain to trenches or billets. The Tommies clamber into it like school boys, and receive it with shouts cf laughter. "This way for Tooting Common and Wormwood Scrubs!" "Elephant and Castle, ma'am? Next bus behind! Old tight on top!" "No change for Berlin!" The old London cries, with many more of an improvised order, resound oddly along the roads of Flanders and Northern France, and bring many a home, pang to the warriors from "Blightly." Truly the London bus is doing its bit for the war. One wonders what drastic changes are yet in store for it with the coming of peace.

Nith all the earmarks of spring, the season it is best suited for, this bonnet bounteously covered witn leaves and a stem effect of ribbon make, up a hat that is suitable for practically every face. The shape i3 simple and the brim of transparent lace with the underdrop of tulle in harem veil effect makes a most unusual and dainty innovation, which enhances the beauty of the wearer considerably. The underdrop ia attached to the hat and goes three-quarters of the way arcund.

THE LONDON BUS.

Even If you have never ridden atop of that peculiar British Institution the London bus you will appreciate this clever bit of descriptive writing in the Christian Science Monitor: "The time-honored traditions of th London bus refuse to keep pace with the swift, change in mundane affairs. Comparatively speaking, it sems but yesterday when one could clamber perilously to the box peat of tho two-horse bus and "pass the time of day" with the cheery, rubicund driver. Tourists, Americans, especially, were confidently assured, by knowing guide books and wipeacres at borne, who had tried the trick, that the box sat was the best vantage ground from which to view London. It required only a. little judicious ' palm oil" to turn the "whip" into a wonderful "ciceron and friend." who, in the choicest Cockneyese, would point out all the land-

PLEASE DON'T MAKE US LAUGH. "Indianapolis excels every other city in the I'nited States as a strategic center for production and distribution, according to a book soon to be issued for national circulation by the chamber of commetco." IndianapolisStar. Might, as well tell a good one while ou're at it. There are four cities in Lake county that have it all over Indianapolis as a strategic production and distribution cen'er. They have trunk lines to beat Indianapolis at the ratio of three to one. They each have waerwajs, something Indianapolis has not. In a few years they will all bo one big city and are in a county that ten years ego was tenth in the state, but is now second and overhauling Marion so fast in every line of activity that the capital has hoisted storm signals. The Calumet region is not only the greatest manufacturing center in the United States but in the -whole world. As a matter of fact Indianapolis Is in?ular while this region is a whole port. t AT A 10-CENT STORE. A 10 rrnt store is a movie picture in life. Tho scene. and actors are infinite. And the visitors arc just, as interested as at a movie. In fact, there is nothing but th-? movie, and the dime provides the motion. Il'.imr.n na ture is there in all its variety, some to get what they want and some to look around for what they might want, which they generally find. We often join the throng, and we ncrer went in to see the crowd, but we found something to buy. A lo-cenf. store is really a depository of things that we need end didn't know it. Sometimes it Is said th articles sold are not good enough, but in fif cases out of lO' they a "e worth what, ihey cost. They awaken a human want, and that is why humanity gnther., around and fills itself to the brim. We like the 10-cent store. We lifeo to do in there and buy 10-eent socks. 10-cent cuff buttons, It-cent stew pans, 10-cent papers of peanus, and lO-cept everything. Who cares for 10 cents if it meets a clamoring need? We went into a 10-cent store and with our two little

j nephews one time, anil in a fit of startling generosity j we said. "no,r, boys, you can pick out anything in this store you want and I Will )iay for it." It was a mighty i responsibility on their young shoulders and they looked

around a long time and finally one bought a small meat cleaver and the other a brindled handkerchief. Wo looked upon it as n beautiful exhibition of human nature and we departed with three joys, two for the boys and one for ourself, says the Ohio State Journal.
