SPITTING ON A FIRE TO PUT IT OUT. Ever since last December this newspaper has pointed out that if Wilson would devote his study to internal problems instead of foreign questions it would be a great deal better for America. It has repeatedly predicted the crisis that confronts this country at present. Wilson now throws a little water on a conflagration which he could have easily put out when it was but a smudge. His advice to the railroad shopmen and to industry in general is good, but it is belated. Next week he is to start out on his tour of the country in a spirit of wanderlust, and tell the people that he wants Congress to accept his ideas. He is going to ask for the surrender of American independence. Shantung for the Japs and a lot of other things, most of which do not concern the people at this moment. What the people want Wilson to do is to reduce the high cost of living. When he does that they will listen to him and not before. LET'S CONTINUE SHIP BUILDING. It is probable that the United States will continue to be the premier ship builder of the world. Having attracted the attention of the other nations with Its marvelous record in building ships during the war, in the future they are going to look to the shipbuilding yards of this country to supply them with vessels for their water commerce. The French government is taking the lead by making tentative contracts for the building of a number of ships by American yards to cost approximately two hundred million dollars, and Grecian, Swedish, Belgian and other foreign interests have placed contracts for many large ships. All this demand for ships from our yards Is in addition to the demand from domestic interests. For a number of years there is likely to be an extraordinary demand for ships to replace the heavy losses sustained during the war and to meet the expanding demands of world commerce. The United States has the raw material of both wood and metal for shipbuilding, and it has also the capital and the supply of labor skilled in the construction of ships to make shipbuilding one of the mo"t important of American industries of the future. MERRY ENGLAND. Mr. Lloyd George gave to Parliament last week a somewhat gloomy picture of the condition of the United Kingdom. Perhaps some of it can be discounted as the natural inclination of a Prime Minister to magnify the obstacles that confront the Government, in order that the Government may gain the more credit from surmounting them; yet there can be no doubt that to a considerable extent his speech gave an accurate picture of conditions existing today. But he did not tell all. Perhaps he told all that

seemed worth telling, but a different point of view seizes upon certain other facts in contemporary English lif. facts which may., escape the notice of Englishmen through their very commonplaceness, but seem wonderful enough to Americans. For example, a certain Oxford college sends out to its old members invitations to the annual dinner, the "gaudy," an institution which should live worthily up to its name now that the war is over and there is something to rejoice about, and the Invitation concludes with the information that "unfortunately champagne is not procurable, but white wines, claret, beer and part will be provided at an inclusive charge of three shillings and sixpence." Three shillings and sixpence! Eighty-five cents! To the citizens of a country where eighty-five centa will no longer buy anything much except postage stamps, and where white wines, claret, beer and port are abhorrent and prohibited fluids, desirable only to be turpitudlnous and obtainable only by the criminal, this commonplace

(of English domestic life comes as evidence of the historic Jcontinuity between the England of today and the land i Sir John Falstaft and Mr. Samuel Pickwick. Despite the war and the labor agitators, the old realm still has somej thing of its ancient savor. The free American citizen,

j as he leajia up against a bar covered with white oilcloth '

and puts down his eighty-live cents or thereabouts for a seidel of buttermilk, muses upon the conservative steadfastness of the British temperament and feels a certain wistful pleasure at the realization that Merry E.-.gTand is merry still. New York Times.

Fashion's Forecast

GIRL'S DRESS.

SOME DRIVING FOOLS. Those drivers of automobiles who neither stop, look nor listen as they approach street corners are a menace not only to themselves but to more careful drivers and even to innocent pedestrians in the vicinity. A litt.l more observance of the laws of sanity and reason on their part is not only advisable but necessary, and the police and the city court judges before whom cases of outstanding negligence are brought should see to it that these men and women are brought to their senses Some of them have as much regard for other people and other people's property as they have for the man in the moon. They are driving fools and nothing but that. They fear neither God nor man.

Just a simple littts blouae dream, but the trick of cutting the front of tha walat la the form of a abort panel which bangs ever the girdle gives aa air ol distinction.

NEATNESS IN DRESS. There was a time when political leaders affected carelessness in dress, seeking in this way to give evidence of democratic thought. The fashion has not altogether died, for we have in America and in certain European chancellories as well men who disdain the ordinary niceties of dress. But if they hope to gain '.ong by this display they may be disappointed. We have the assurance of no less keen an observer than Senator Capner that Woodrow WiUon is our best-dressed president. After an interview with the president, tjie senator remarked. "Next to -he president's amiabilitv I was most impr"e:r-ed with his dress. It recalled an old saying of my boyhood. He looked as if he might have 'just jumped out of a bandbux.'" It is an old saw hat clothes or- not make thrt m.in. But they reveal them. Man's apparel is restricted by the nature of his work. It would be wanton extravssanca for a coal heaver to wear to work a suit for a busints man. And the clerk would not long hold his position if he appeared attired in a coal heaver's regalt.i. But when the man who works with his hands is at leisure there is no reason why he should be less neatly dressed than any of his fellows. Neatness is, not a matter of elegance. The neatest dress is the simplest. Neatness is essentially a matter of pride. And the man who does not have pride in -himself cannot expect to command respect of others. Mr. Wilson is setting a good example in observing the niceties of personal appearance, even amid the rush of domestic and international business. Like many other men, he may find that he can think more clearly, act more confidently when buoyed by the self reliance which well kept clothes give to men.

IT is hard for a mother TO make the children understand that she WOULD rather have a little MORE sympathy while she's alive and LESS bawling over her when she's dead.
