"We have in this country women of great strength and ability, but the church has been under the influence of tho moro sentimental women- We are going to do something with this church of ours and we want real women to go over tho top with the men. Good preaching has become almost extinct in the Episcopal church. We have men of marvelous administrative ability but not preachers. The trouble is that we have no specialists. We have poor preachers not because we have not gnkises, but because the clergy have ?o much of thrr other kind of work to do. They have more questions of administrative affairs and detail than some of our groat captains of industry. You cannot be a great preacher h. a m groat administrator, too. Two-thirds of the work done by the rector and curate could be done by the women."

SOLON ROBINSON STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. The remarkable seYies of articles written by Col. Henry Watterson, the gifted southern editor, in a weekly magazine, are the source of more than passing interest to those of the present generation whose fathers and grandfathers were interested in the up-build:ng of this nation. A. Murray Turner, the Hammond banker, whose father and mother were among the very earliest settlers of Lake county, calls attention to the fact that Solon Robinson, whom Col. Henry Watterson mentions in a recent article was the founder of Crown Point, and a man with whom his father, the late David Turner, was well acquainted. Col- Watterson, mentions Mr. Robinson as one of the editors of the Xew York Tribune, but he was employed only as in agricultural writer and came to Late county to interest a party of Easterners in the igrieultural possibilities of the country about Crown Point I Another interesting sidelight on contemporaneous levelopment, is the fact that Wednesday was the birth-
lay of Stephen A. Douglas, the great opponent of Abra- J
nam Lincoln in debat, who was the owner of the site of West Hammond and surrounding country, which ultimately came into the po.-session of the Calumet Canal and Dock Company. Neither Solon Robinson nor Judge Douglas, of course, ever lived to forsee the great development of the almost worthless property they once owned.
O GIRLS, WE KNOW IT! One of our lady doctors registers regrot over some of the vagaries in women's apparel. She makes special reference to tho pneumonia neck, which is based upon the fur or feathers worn rbout the throat, with a Vshapd expanse of open bosom below. There is absolutely no excuse or defense for this freak of fashion- It .-tarts a perspiration in one part of the body and Inspires it chill in a neighboring portion. If an nnnsuim were shaved after that manner he would die of the croup in twentyfour hours. In the good old summer time such regalia might he merely uncomfortable not really harmful; but in the midst of an Eastern winter it 1 fierce both ways. Here will come a gayly-caparisoned matron, with her fur p'ece bundled pihnut her ears while below thre is a vaU open sprend of flesh that has turned blue with the cold and Is flecked hero and there with goose pimple. Some women go through life with the thought that no one would know they had a bosom unless they showed it, and therefore it would be a crime not to keep it on display. Every now and then they catch pneumonia and die because of their unselfish devotion to this thought, says the Los Angeles Times.
BUY BONDS TO BOOM BUSINESS. There are still some citizens who say, "It Isn't necessary for everybody to subscribe to this war loan as It was before. The banks can tak it." The banks can take It, if thoy have to. Hut anyon who takes this view of tho Victory Loan should seriously ask himself whether he wants the banks to do It. Not to mention the responsibility resting on every citiien to play the part of 'a self-respecting patriot, there are financial facts that cannot be ignored- The government has already spent the money it expects from this loan- It must have $1,500,000,000, either from the people or from the banks. If the banks are left "holding the bag" and compelled to absorb a large part of the loan to eave it from failure, it will mean the diversion to that purpose of funds which the banks are holding to finance private business. Private enterprise, like public en'erprise, needs billions. If the banks have to advance billions to the gov
ernment because the public refuses, the banks will not i
have the billions to lend for business reconstruction and the resumption of industrial activity. If-people cannot borrow from the banks, of course that will mean dull times, Just when by all expert reckoning times ought to be Improving. So buying bonds is very much like eating your cake and still having it- An enthusiastic and widespread purchase of these last war bonds by the publio will at the same time enable the government to pay its bills and enable the banks to use their accumulated funds for tbe stimulation of every line of industry and trade. And so the money that Mr. and Mrs. Common Citizen part with In the purchase of bonds will have a prosperity valnq ior tbem quite aside from its investment value.
PLEADS FOR MANLY CLERGYMEN. In a speech before the Churchwomen's Club of New York, held at the Cathedral of St- John the Divine in New York, the Rev. William Austin Smith, editor of the Churchman, made a strong appeal far a manly church and ministry and for the women's help in bringing it ahont- Dr. Smith's subject was, "How Can the Women Make the Church More Masculine?" He expressed the wi?h for more forceful women to work in the Church and to get away from the "mellow afternoon tea atmosphere" between the women and their relations to the Church and the clergy. "Y'ou ask with concern about the health of your clergyman," said Rev. Smith. "Why not ask about the health of your r.shman? Don't look so much for atrac-
PRINTERS' INK-PROPHYLACTIC. Somewhere, sometime, someone made the sage observation that the Judicial use of printers' ink might prove as useful as medicine in the prevention of communicable diseases. If not statistically accurate it is certainly worthy of comment that publicity, directed toward education, hns been a prime factor and mast useful ally in bettering living conditions from a healthfJtandpoint. It has been priceless in sanitation education, for it first taught the public th necessity of drainage and sewerage; that flies and mosquitoes were the chief carriers of several everpresent communicable diseases, and it has taught the public, or a great portion of it, to insist on pure foods. At first newspapers hesitated to touch the subject of sanitation, pest houses, flies and masqu:toe, because the editor feared ft was not news. Experiment proved there was no bigger element of news anywhere than something that concerned every one of his readers intimately the puhlls health. There can no longer be room for doubt that everv reader of a newppaper and every gnod cltlzn is vitally interested in prolonging his chance for living a greater number of yearpThat is the reason today newspapers have taken up the fight for the eradication of venereal diseases and are cooperating with the United States Public Health Service in a nation-wide educational campaign, urging the adoption of proper control legislation, the closing of houses of prostitution, the segregation and compultsory treatment of the diseased until they are no longer a menace to the public,It is a new discussion for the press and public, for until the drafting of millions for the army revealed th terrific prevalence of gonorrhea and syphilis in civil life the twin evils were secrets to everyone except the medical profession, and, because statistics wore not available, physicians had only a vague Idea of the high prevalence. , The army experience was startling. It convinced President Wilson, his cabinet and Congress that false modesty could no longer shield one of the greatest dangers to America's health; for it was realized then, as now, that ignorance and secrecy were largely responsible for 'he condition, that exposure and publicity would bring reform. This is actually happening- A majority of the states are treaUng veneral dif eases quite as openly and frankly as an epidemic of small-pox, and quite as effectively. And that is the only way. The public must realize that gonorrhea and syphilis are names for communicable diseases instead of crimeF, and that the fight for their eradication is not a private affair of the Public Health Service, but concerns everv American v'iallv.
A MAN can be brazen enough IN other ways liVT yet too bashful to meet his obligations.

MEDALS. Secretary Baker proposes medals for the draft boards. But why the draft boards? They simply did their duty. If every man gets a medal for doing his duty, medals are going to be mighty cheap. Every Liberty loan man, every Red Cross orator and hustler, every Y- M C. A. booster, every war chest worker aro as much entitled to credit as the secretary of war or any of his appointees. It Is a slur upon the patriotic citizen to think that he would feel better because ho is being complimented for standing by hi3 country in its dire peril. The pricniple Is wrong that a person must bo paid for his courage and sacrifice. The manhood of men will reveal itself best without assistance from medals. If there is any manhood there to reveal, and if there isn't medals are a sorry enough camouflage. The value of medals, like that of diamond?. Is to be seen in their scarcity. When the gems become as plenty as gravel they lose their value. The secretary should think quietly of these things. If he doesn't have a care, after a v;hile medals will become a sort of drug on the market.

I A CK RA Y'S ' ' Whoop.ee! " Draws Chorun of "Oo-La-Laa!" from Admiring Frenchmen at Y. M. C. A. Entertainment. Paris has had its first real taste of an honest-to-goodnees Wild West show, lassoes, Indian whoops, red handkerchiefs and all. t'ntil recently, "wild and woolly Westerners" has been the term for all Americans. It took: Jack Ray, of Montana, to show the boulevardiera the dl.Terence, and now he is one of the sights of the French capital, along with the Venus de Milo and the EifTel Tower, Back home, Montana Jack is known as the champion trick roper of the world, the man who can lasso more horses while standing on his head than any other person can do light end up. He was a corporal in the Eleventh Veterinary Hospital at Qievrea until the army detailed him to tha Y.M.C.A. to entertain homesick doughboys with his skill. Jack's Paris performance . was given at the Palais de Glace,' the most elaborate recreation structure in all Europe. Within its walls the "Y" has a "big canteen, lecture rooms, reading rooms, billiards and every other kind of amusement and educational and rest facilities fnr the doughboy and his friends. It is a favorite center for the poilu. and he takes every opportunity to get invited there becatr h

"AmericainB" have the best of everything. ' It was an extra gala event, however, when . the Wild Westerners cut loose, and Jack, of course, was the star. "Montana" spun circleB all around himself with hi3 la-sso, kept three of them going at the same time and roped dozens of invisible horses while in the act of turning somersaults. He was a Wild West show all by himself and the doughboys and poilus greeted him with whoops of delight. Not only is Jack's performance 'o "orli win applause any
where, but he is the back-homiest thing the doughboys have seen this side of the Atlantic, As for the Frenchmen in the audience, they took eo kindly to the new form of entertainment that one of the leading vaudeville houses has tried to engage Jack. The proprietors feel that their patrons would like the stunt, they explain it is so American! In spite of the praise, Montana Jack will remain in the Y, M. O. A. entertainment bureau until he is free to come home again to the land of the real Wild West Show
