HOUSE CLEANING. Houset leaning time is apjroa hin;;, the broom seller is utroud in the land and the bright sjtrini; sunshine, ii little ahead of schedule, U .showing up the cobweb in the back hall. , The nation has l-cpim its housed, aninr. A lot of dirty, ucele.su people who took up room and time have been swept up and are soon to be deported, ilvery town and illaKe. should follow suit. The world is on the way to the brightest, cleanest future imaginable, and every huspiciout character who stands in the way of an orderly peaceable life should ko into the vacuum cleaner and be disposed of as waste. There are a lot of houses that need a jiooU old spring cleaning. There is th- pest house and the poor house, to often run by the dishonest and incompetent. The etrontf liht of publicity should be turned on them, and every dark, unhealthy thini; exposed and cleaned up. Thq thrifty, etlicient housewife who would tolerat no disease-breeding nook in her own home fchould concern heraelf with these public places and demand for them the ime healthy honest clfanin which her house dfets. Then there: is the House of (od. Maybe it needs cleaning too, of narrow prejudices, bat! financial systems and a reorganization to make it meet the needs ot a modern community. There is the moving icture house. Perhaps it needs attention as much as anything. All the bad films which make for social disturbance shouid be cleared out and bvirned up. And th re should be a little supervision as to the audience, to. There H a lot of quiet cleaning u ne ded out in front. As a matter of fact, things have been neKlected pretty Renerally during the war. Tt is time to open up. let the mnliht in and make all the dwellings ( lean and orderly so that no old rubbish and tilth shall be left to cumber the era of peace.

The close censorship of the war prevented much knowledge of how great a part the marine air-service took, but it made history over in France. So long as there is need of armament, while trouble brews in Hussia, while Mexico is in turmoil, while China and Japan make faces at each other and the islands of the sea are insecure, there mutt be a navy, and the laji arm of the navy is the marine. So for many a day to come these cheery lads will be needed by the thousand for the safety of their country.

The people who say that suffrage was beaten in the senate by only one vote are wrong. It was beaten 1.. every vote which was cast against it. But thos few futile, obstructionists against a great and coming reform may be classed with the little wdfe whose husband let her beat him because it amused her and didn't hurt him.

A man from the mountains of West Virginia was turned down by a recruiting ofticer because he had flat feet and would not he able to march any distance. Later it developed that the mountaineer had walked 115 miles over the mountains to enlist.

KEEPING WOMEN IN THEIR JOBS. There is much significance in the statement of Dr. George Kirchway. New York state director of the federal employment service, that he expects less than 10 percent of the women who have held positions during th war to lose them now that the war is over. He Is quoted as saying: "Ve are not advising employers to release their women workers. We want them to make room for soldiers, but at the same time to retain as many of their present workers as possible." This looks like a sound policy. There are many cases, of course, where a woman ought to give way to a returning tidier for instance, where the woman has definitely taken some soldier's job with the understanding that she was a substitute, anil that the job should be his again on his return. Gut in general, it would be an unsound principle to insist that when there were not enough Jobs in sight to go around, the women should give way to the men merely because they were women. If "wemen ar people." they have an undeniable rig.it to economic equality with men. It is only fair to them to give them their chance. And it is surely best for tftc community as a whole, in the long run, that emploment should be determined by the ability of the work r rather than by the worker's sex. Most of the women who have risen to economic independence through opportunities afforded by the war do not want to gir up their work the moment the war is over. And a time is soon eoming. in the opinion Of the labor experts, when all the available workers will be needed, men and women alike. For the uncertain present, it is letter to make places for the returning soldiers by undertaking public work and artirtcaüy stimulating industry than to provide for them by any wholesale turning of women out of their jobs.

THE GERMAN CHILDREN. "Isn't it awful?" exclaim d a French ofticer to a group of Americans, as the t:r.-.t allied troops advanced into Treves, after the armistice. What;" they asked. "All the children: Why, we shall have to tight them again in 'e years." Tlie same thought has occurred aeain and aain to

Amrican soldiers. A magazine writer tells of hearing a doughboy fresh from the Argonno struggle exclaim, as he contemplated the s armir g youngsters in a German village, that he suppose 1 these kids would be tixto machir.e-tzanm rs about a dozen ytars from now. F. very w hu re there are those hordes of young boys, clustering around our soldiers as they tread German foil, arid striking up friend-hip with them, somewhat to the scandal cf the stern civilians at home. And ier where the fear aris. s: Will those boys be f.ghting us again, when they grow up? V.';!! they be killing our boys, and will our bo s be kilün:: them? With all th ir innocent friendliness, their numbers suggest a tragic r.un.x'e. The German nation is so proI;::c' Ten or tit teen ears from now Germany is sure to haw far rn. re s-ddier-stuff than ever. That is the peril that Fr.n newr fails to remember. The whole world i:iut rem mber it. The allied r.ation do i.ut uai.t citlur to kill those

.ions ron soldikiis if kdithlicans. (Uy lYlix l Urunrr.) State and county officials in Indiana are slowly consenting, as the result of the considerable and steady pressure, to give appointive jobs to soldiers. Hut repuhliean otlicials are v-ry careful hm to what soldiers the jobs are given. For instance, if you are a .soldier in the United States army; if you have been wounded in defense of your country, either in the trenches or on the high seas, it will count as nothing in your effort to connect with the pay rolls unless you are a republican soldier. Considerable pressure has been brought to bear in Marlon county on Mike Jefferson. Center township assessor, to bring about the appointment of soldiers to the numerous deputy-assessor Jobs. Here is what Jefferson taid when asked if he intended to appoint soldiers: "All other things being equal, discharged soldiers will be appointed as deputy assessors, providing they are republicans." This is the attitude that has been taken by republican olllce holders throughout the state. Soldiera will receive appointments provided they are republicans, and provided they aru a little more active in their party than someone who has not been in uniform. In other words, the uniform means nothing and politics means everything. If a soldier voted the republican ticket before he went to war and intends to do so again he is deserving of a great deal of credit from the g. o. p. viewpoint, but if he did not voto the republican ticket he does not deserve a job for what he has done for the nation and the world. This same attitude has been taken by the legislature. The senate refused to require that oil inspection jobs go to soldiers, evidently fearing there were not enough republican soldiers to go around: As a matter of fact, the former poldiers who are republicans are daily becoming fewer as the political machinations of republicans e.gain!t recognizing their right to gratitude continue. Mass meetings of soldiers are being held in Indianapolis and other parti- of the state to express disapproval of such activity. Many ot the soldiers are demanding an explanation of those who are in the oftlces in the statehouse and in many of the court houses and city halls of the Mate. They promise a reckoning when these office holders will be asking them for jobs. Again: That 10" percent American bill that was forced through the senate under suspended rules, providing that German shall not be taught in the elementary schools of the state has. like, previous anti-Germans bills, become the plaything of politicians and it is doubtful if it will pass or, if It does pasn, if it will pass in a form that will be effective. Attempts are being made to amend the measure, evidently to prevent offending the voters who took such an active part in the last election and who are now so active in the statehouse lobbies.

rr.itsiiiNG sM.isiir.s tiuim. (I.ouUvllle Courier-Journal.) Gen. l'ershing's report of the health and general camp conditions at Urest should put to shame those garrulous grumblers partisan politicians all who take advantage of their return from Europe to' pelt Washington and the public with lamentations and execrations on er the horrible state of affairs which they claim to have left at llrest Gen. Pershing, wdthout betraying any indication that

I he knows of the existence of these people, calmly dejmelishes them with the facts which he presents. As was

his duty, he has k"pt informed regarding conditions at l'rt st all along, and he has made a personal inspection of the camp within the past month, in company with Gen. Harbord. his chief of staff, the chief surgeon and the inspector general of the American expeditionary forces. He spaks with authority and the plain facts and figures which he reports cannot be discredited b the vaporings of ranting civilian politicians. Gen. Ferfhing is represented by the republicans as professing their political faith, and he is even mentioned by them a a possible nominee of their party for the presidency, but republican politicians who are endeavoring to score a point in the political game by attacking the war record of a democratic administration will get no assistance from him. He is known, not as a politician, but as a utraightforward soldier, and what he says about Ilrest, not what the scandal-mongers say. goes."

though after these racking inter- j views, she sometimes went home and :

shed a few tears. At last, however, her defenses were strengthened. Young Evans came to the Karslin

home one evening to be confronted j

by a strange Myra; an electric Myra j advancing on winged feet, glowing j eyed and jubilant. I

"It has come to me really ferve, Hryce "

like a silver trumpet. She darted tc-.vaid the curtain and leturned with a soft bundle of white which moved beneath hr gentle hands. Hryce looked closer and fell back with an exclamation. "A baby! Why, Myra, whose?" "Mine. Mine by adoption." Her face was ecstatic. "Oh, Hryce, I wanted to do something for the poor children of France or Helgium but there was no way except through societies. And this is a ltelgain baby! Isn't she dear, Hryce? Look at those little curls, and her eyts they're lovely when she isnf so sleepy. And she's so good-natured." Hryce was standing aloof, frowning slightly and evidently no sharer in his companion's delight. Already he felt Myra slipping further away from him. She was smiling at the bundle in her arms and making little cooing sounds. "I suppose. Miss Karslin, this new acquisition of yours will occupy most of your thoughts now," he tuiid with a sharpness born of fear. Myra regarded him solemnly. "All of them," she asserted. "TU is is sacred duty that's been intrusted to me. and 1 shall be faithful." "Oh. as to that " he stopped, miserably awaro of his own helplessness. Not only would an early marriage be out of the question now, but Myra herself would bo absorbed in her new mission. "How did you come to cio such a thing, Myra?" he asked. "That's jut it," she rcplb'd calmlj. "I didn't do it. It came to me. The babi was left at my door with my name' on its clothing. Here is the note, Hryce." She drew a paper from her pocket, and he urfolded it to lead the scrawled words. "here miss This is r belgian baby father was shot and mother died of broke hart and german reck all the famelys killed so please be kind to the little orpun her namee is louise." Young Evans Hashed a suspicious glance over MVa and her charge. "It seems queer to inc." he remarked. "I'm afraid you've been imposed on." ( Myra snatched the note, protesting resentfully. "You want to think so, Hryce Evan! Why shouldn't it be true? Why should anybody want to impose on me?" "I don't know. Hut I think it's a case for the police." A shriek answered him. "Police this dear little baby! You're heartless. And you're selfish, Hryce. Don't think- 1 don't understand. Any

way, I shall accept my duty ar. I see j it. And now you'd better go, Hryce. j

It's late." "Yes. Don't let me keep dear little Iuise up. Goodnight, Miss Kamlin." Young Evan bowed mockingly and was gone; but he carried a heavy heart with him. i "yra had u restless night. Her new responsibihtes weighed heavily upon her, and her thoughts of Hryce were far from soothing. In the -morning uhe was very thoughtful while she ministered to baby Louise. It would take a long time for h Helgian orphan to grow up, she reliected; and perhaps perhaps Hryce wouldn't wait! She was coiling tiny curls over her linger and sweetly talking "baby talk" when a caller was announced. Two callers, in fact; for when Myra entered the sitting room sh found a fat, red'faced vromali apparently standing guard over a sulky, halfgrown girl with arms and legs too long for her juvenile dress of plaid gingham. "I'm Mrs. O'Halloran. ma'am," greeted the stranger. "An' this is me oldest girrul Gladys who's been afther playin' a quare thrick on me. An on yourself, too. ma'am, for I know the baby's here yet.

How the Hot Spot Makes Chalmers One of the Few Great Cars The cylinders of an engine are like the stomach of a man. Unless food is thoroughly chewed up before it reaches the stomach there is liable to be indigestion.

in most cars toaay gas arrives in the cylinders in too large globules. The Hot Spot in the Chalmers prevents this. For it "cracks up" and heats the gas. As soon as it strikes the Hot Spot gas is "pulverized" into a most minute "vapor powder." Engineers call this "dry gas." Then the gas is passed quickly through the Ram's-horn which equally distributes the gas among six cylinders and makes it arrive at each cylinder at exactly the same time and travel the same distance. Which means not only more power from less gas, but hitting on all six all the time, amazing ease in starting on a cold day, less friction, less vibration, and hence a cool running engine on a red hot day. To miss a demonstration in a Chalmers nowadays before purchasing a car no matter what price you pay is to miss an experience worth making a day's march to find.
