The Character of Washington r , :i j (By Henry Cabot Lodge) For many years I have studied minutely the career of Washington, and with every step the greatness of the man has grown upon me ; for analysis has failed to discover the act of his life which, under the conditions of the time, I could unhesitatingly, pronounce to have been an error. Such has been my experience, and, although my deductions may be wrong, they at least have been carefully and slowly made. I see in Washington a great soldier, who fought a trying war to a successful end impossible without him ; a great

statesman, who did more than any other man to lay the foundations of a republic which has endured in prosperity for more than a. century. I find. in. him a marvelous judgment which was never at fault, "a penetrating vision which beheld the future of America when it. was dim to other eyes, a great intellectual force, a will of iron, an unyielding grasp of facts,- and an unequaled strength of patriotic purpose. I see in him, too a pure and high-minded gentleman of dauntless courage and stainless honor, simple and stately of manner, kind and generous of heart. Such

he was in truth, The historian and the biographer may:fail to do. him justice, but the instinct of mankind will iiot .faii. The real hero needs not books to "give him worshippers. " George Washington will always receive the'love and reverence of men,-because , they see embodied in him the noblest possibilities of humanity. '

The Havoc of Influenza

J A total! of 9,114 deaths is reported by the j State Board of Health as the frightful toll which ; ; the. influenza epidemic has taken in Indiana duri ing September, October, November and Decem-

i ' ber, 1918. The deaths numbered 2,179 in the age period of 20 to 30 and 2,019 in the period of 30 I1 to 40, showing that persons in the bloom of life were called by this disease. More than 1,000 in.i t f ants between the years from one to five and j 52' under one year, succumbed to the disease. ' : The male deaths numbered 4,774 and the feT males 3,310.

Merely Common Sense "There is no mystery about the work of retraining .war disabled men eo as to make them efficient," says Dr. Chas. A. Prosser, Director of the federal board for vocational education. "It is simply the' application of good common sense education and good judgment. It is merely the utilization of the abilities remaining to the disabled man, which can be so trained as in most cases to be just as effective if not'more so, than the ones which he lost by reason of his injuries. "It is surprising the number of things a' man is capable of doing. If he has been engaged in an occupation which requires the use of his leg, such as operating a foot power press, we do not throw away his trade knowledge, but he is educated to use his hand, or perhaps the stump of his leg by means of a special adjustment, and can continue doing that which he knows best just as well as

before he received his injury, or if he is disin

clined to continue that work, he is reeducated for

some other phase of the same industry which he

knows well, and which appeals to him, thus pre serving his trade knowledge. "This reeducation is given in the various in

dustries and factories as well as in the leading

technical and trade schools of the country. It is absolutely free to the disabled man : if he is

single, he is given $65 a month support fund, all other expenses being paid, - and if married or there are other dependents a larger allowance is made. .

"The federal board for vocational education is anxious to get in touch with all disabled, discharged men, and will gladly correspond with them about their cases. The address is simply Washington, D. C."

THE RETICENT PORK CHOP Thrift-Magazine. Economists tell us that the scale of wages has increased more than the cost of living. However, one does not meet the affable pork-chop out in popular society nearly as much as before, and the average housewife would rather read an absorbing recipe of new-fangled food substitutes now than the saddest love story ever written.

When Was Jones Hardware Co. Organized Here?

Eighteen hundred and eighty-four was the year of the starting of the great business of Jones Hardware company. Sharon E. Jones, Rutherford B. Jones and Andrew J.-Jones were the founders of the business. The start was made in a small store-room on Fort "Wayne avenue. In 1898 the business had grown to such an extent that the firm bought the property at Tenth and North D which they now occupy, and built the present four-story building. Soon the business had grown to such a size that they bought the old James Starr property just back of them and built another four-story building for a warehouse.

The refusal to provide an international force is based on several grounds. It would entail an enormous expense, which the nations would have to bear in addition to their necessary domestic armament. The force would have to be large enough to defeat any combination of recalcitrant powers, after they had withdrawn their contributions to it. This might promote scheming calculations, which could not be applied to the unlimited resources of rations. The force would be composed of professional soldiers, and there has always been danger in a large force i.o constituted. There would be considerable friction as to disposition, command and support. Constitutional and traditional policies would stand in the , way of forming such a force. Finally, if the council of the League of Na-i

One lay (said Princess Patricia) puzzled everybody. She wore, pinned on her bedice, a photograph of her husband. No one could guess the name of the book she intended the portrait to represent, but after they had all given it up. she told them: "Life's Handi cap!" j
