TOPPERS AND TAILS. One. of the blessed effects of the war was the cstraclsm of the silk hat. For a -while that ungainly and uncomfortable headpiece, maintained for fenerations, in spite of ien? and art, .as a sartorial "badge of the "gentleman" and on Invidious distinction between upper and nether classes, almost disappeared even In the world's car.itals of style. There was a wave of democracy, expressing itself in clothes as In other mattery. Then, too, fo many erstwhile wearers of the "topper" and Its accompaniments were in military uniform, that civilians were rather ashamed to be seen in anything not Indicative of democratic simplicity. Thus Rritish statesmen, even the premier himf-elf, took to slouch hats or "bowlers." The wholesome influence was naturally felt In Anurica, where peneral sentiment has always been rather contemptuous cf the "ilk lid" But now. alas! "The silk hat." says a Lomlor. dispatch, "the hat which in days pone by was the conventional and inevitable headgear of the business man of any standing, is creeping" back." And so sartorial aristocracy, which Is fo righteously hated by hoi pollol because it is so false an index to merit, will probably reassert itself apain. In remote villages the world around even as in IMccadilly. Thero la one note of hope, though. Another of thr revolts against pre-war conventions is said to hold out well. The "dress coat" is not so imperativ as of yore. "Dinner coats actually have been seen at social functions In such exclusive places as Londonderry House." Of course, our, leauinic cititens in American communities seldom find even th-3 lbbreviatrd "dinner coat" essential to thir prandial f l?-rerrcct. The plain sack coat does well enough lor thr- average- American, and the majority of our i ellow-cltlzcns arc probably in the habit of sitting down to dinner with no coats at all. Still, there is satisfaction in the knowledge that if a male nerson must dress up to dine, he can faro forth without the embarrassment of dangling tails.

THE MANDATE FOR PALESTINE. The Ieasue of Nations is already inaugurated, in accordance with the provisions of the peace treaty, but not fully organized. "When organization is completed, it is cxrected that en" of it.s first steps will bo to givo tlreat Uritain a mandate for Palestine. This will be a natural move. Inasmuch as Britain took tho Holy Lmd from the Turks, and lr willing tr administer it. and joems to liave an informal mdcrstandins with the Zionists who plan to make it a Jewish fetate. The Jews in tills movement say thy are ready to enter on their hi task as soon as the opportunity is offered. According to Dr. Max Nordau, hey will tro to tho mandatory power and outline the conditions on which they ask to be allowed to set up a Jewish colony, which will eventually become :in independent member of tho Lauo of Nations. Th .Tows y.iy they will br prepared to play whatever part is nrce&sary, and expect to prove tluir ability to tiefend themselxes by armed force as well as to hanille the economic and racial problems involved The British mandate, if this policy is followed. a ill be much liko the American occupation of Cuba after tho Sr.anish war. The British government will take care of tho new slate in its infancy, and then, as t.oon as it proves its ability to stand on its own feet, givo, it full self-government and usher it into membership in the Leaguo of Nations. This would be a policy particularly pleasing to Americans. Then- would be nothing remarkable nbout it. cither, if the league covenant is to be taken at it.s face alue. our magnanimous treatment v f Cuba was unprecedented, but the world has nicved since then. Back of the whole mandatory system set up in the peace treaty is the theory that every mandate m-cir.s unsd:ish service and re nunciation by tho mandatory power sooner or later.

ALMOST AMERICAN. A girl of foreign birth, who h;;s been in this country for some, years, had planned to return to her homeland directly after tho close of the war. Hemistress, hainp heard nothing' recently of her plans, asked when she was going. "I not know if I KO," was tho answer. "I l.nd out if I go back, i go: to stay for f.ve year. I nut know if I want to stay to long away from this country. 1 gu-ss I wait." Hre is a fertile t.eld for Amf ricanization. America already has a hold upon the heart and imagination of th:s girl. Under proper guidance and with a fair helping hand extended to her she can be ni.id' all American, ar.d become an important intlunee in the Americanization of many of her people. The same feeling rf half-aHeciar.eo is at work in the breasts of most of o ;r a'ren population In spite cf hardship and di.an ointments and menial positions they feel the charm of this coun;ry tugging at

their hearts, they know that the thin?: they want li here. It would require only the turning of a hair to make this their homeland, beloved and loyallv jrved. t Many obstacles wil! present themselves from now on to the foreigner planning to return to his mother country. He more than half prefers to stay hre as it is. This Is America's opportunity. Her alien problem is largely of her own making. Hre, in th words of an ignorant yount: girl. Is the sign from heaven. The wm! become the vicious, through neglect alone. Pe.-pifed and reject' d, the alien is a menace; welcomed and encouraged, he will become a hfalthy and vigorous part of American national life.

THOSE HEALTHY GIRLS. Once more a respected member of the medical fraternity lias risen to declare that the dress of tho modern female does not rendvr her unduly susceptible to disease. In thla latest case it is a French doctor of note who champions the dress short at both. ends. This doctor says that the mere scanty covering of tho body is an aid to its ae.atlon. tendö to a better functioning of the skin and acts as a stimulant to the nervous system. As a matter of fact, the dress of the modern young weman probably has little to do with her health or lack of it. It is not a fjueMion of the dres3 but of the girl who wears it. The avcage young woman of today is a healthy young animal. Sho is healthy because she is active, athletic, iniereLted In a thousand things which keep ber mind off herself and leave her little tim or inclination fr Illness. Women may lack modesty in dress, but never in all history were so many of them interested In athletic and out -door sports, or familiar with the j roper care of the body and th simple rules of diet. The dress reformers will have to lind some other platform than ill health upon which to stage their attack on modern feminine attire. The wot Id is full of line, strong, healthy girls in short skirts and low ae' ks. If the morals of the world can't stand tho low necks and the short skirts, it is the morals of he world which are unhealthy; the girls are all to the ;ood.

UP-TO-DATE GEOGRAPHY. . Geography, taught as a college course and as a social science, is a popular subject at the Universitv of Wisconsin. Formerly geography meant the study of physiography, meteorology, climatology, mapping and cartography. Today, it has divided Itself into economic, historical and political geography. Tho purpose cf this new attitude toward an old subject is to train well-informed, broad-minded, cosmopolitan men, giving them a basis for understanding international affairs and world movements. History is supposed to do this, but frequently only one period is covered; and rarely does the teaching reach present-day history. It is undoubtedly true that geography a closely allied with historical development. It is also true that mountains, rivers, plains and other geographical features have had dellnite influence on the territorial expansion of nations. Indirectly geography must also have n bearing on the political, economic and industrial development of countries. Thus a course In geography, designed for students of college grade, does well to include an outline of the economic policies of nations, the development of boundary lines and new nations, the geographical aspects of politics, international movements, and the distribution of races. Agricultural geography explains the relationship between farming nd national development, commercial geography the relationship between nations. That the subject is appealing to young men and women is shown in the fact that 1,200 students have enrolled In such courses at the university this oar, doubling the enrollment of the last year preceding the war.

AN IMPrnRVT AMHASSADOIt." (Tort Wayne Jouriial-Gazotto.) The impudence and the admissions of Ludwig Martens the mock ambassador of bolshevistic Russia to this country when before the senate committee Friday ought not bo passed without some action. Nothing could be more Impudent than his refusal to answer questions on the ground of diplomatic immunity. That would hold we re Martens the Pussian ambassador to this county. He is not. Another was long ago recognized as such and is in possession of the Russian embassy and Its archives. Martens has never been recognized and It is to be hoped that he never will be. Such being the case he Is nothing more in the ryes of our government than a bolshevlst from Russia, a private citizen. But he made some very Interesting and significant admissions. It is worth while to know that three-quarters of a million dollars have been sent to Martens in America from Lenine and Trotzky in Moscow. It Is gratifying to learn that Moscow Is having serious ditf.culty In communicating with u. Out of 20 messengers started for America by Ienine it appears that but seven reached their destination. Martens tells ujs that several were shot summarily In Finland and he refers to the killing with the blase air of the representative of a regime that kills and eats a baby every day for breakfast. And he makes another very interesting confession that he has let a number of contracts for supplies in this country with the thought that the American business men who received th? contracts will consider themselves bribed by the bolsheviki to use their inttuence lo force our government to recognize bolshevism. This is most significant Just now with a number of American business men pressing Washington to permit the resumption ot trade with Russia. Jubt why this person is allowed to remain Jn America is a mystery.

Are NOT Going Out of the Retail Business

A rather misleading statement appeared in the South Bend paper a few days ago, which would give the impression that we were discontinuing and closing out our entire retail stock. What we intended to bring out was that the flour and feed business will be conducted in the future on a wholesale basis. Deliveries will be made on one and one-half ton lots of hay and straw, five hundred pounds of feed or over. All kinds of seeds and garden plants will be for sale at 420 South Michigan street, the same as usual. We will continue our retail business on the well known Studebaker farm wagons, teaming gears and full oscillating bobsleds and will carry a full line of repairs for same. This also applies to our retail lines of robes, blankets, steamer rugs, whips, etc., which will be carried the same as in the past. At the present time we have some very attractive bargains in wagons, harness, dump boxes, robes, chicken feeds and supplies.
