A California paper t ells a story
about a beautiful youn'g woman
down along the middle state sea
coast somewhere who has forsaken
society and is living the life o a
hermit, wearing overalls and going
harei 101. with her yellow hair hang
ing down her back. This does not
stir up the (ear ducts or the secret
recesses of our immortal soul .i
much as maybe it would if we did
not stop to think that a woman
who goes around in overalls an. 2
hare feet is not romantic. A woma.i
in overalls looks like a sack of meal
with a string tied around the middle
of it. and if Iter hair is hanging down
her back as she treads the mighty
forest it is full of dead leaves, and
maybe other things; her Grecian
nose is peeled like an onion with
sunburn and her face is as freckled
as a politician's past record, while
her dear lit'b pink toes ure hard
and horny and dirty. The dear and
everlovable woman who wears
clothes and is not a stranger to the
bathtub is good enough.

by th very people who ore howl

This is probably an over-drawn
picture of New York life, and it
would certainly not fit the average
American city. Yet there is enough
truth in it to call for serious
thought. There has been much talk
about the extravagance of the rich,
causing high prices. Ii is lime
something was said about the ex
travagance of the poor. Certain it
is that many a once humble work
man, or workman. s wne or son or
daughter, has lost all sane perspec
tive as a result of war-time wages.
and is indulging in a scale ot ex
penditure not merely ruinous to the
individual or family concerned, but
encouraging dealers of every sort to
charge "all the traffic will bear."
Profiteering is onlv one .side of
the storv. There is the other side
of reckless spending. lloth must be
checked. If we are to have a re
turn to honest, old-fashioned profit
we must also return to honest, old-
fashioned thrift.

car parked in, ihe rear of the apart

utes later that Mr. Holmes who re
sides in one of the upper floors of
the apartment house was aroused by
the neighbors with the announce

rushed out iir.d found that the auto
was afire in three places and but for
the prompt work of one of the Short
boys the car would have bet 11 en

burning briskly and the shutting off
of the gasoline supply by Mr. Short
served to prevent the fre from
spreading. The fire was caused from
a short circuit beneath the floor of
the car. The running board. the
wiring of the car and part of the
floor was destroyed by the blaze.
The use of dirst and water served to
put out the fire. The ear fortuna""
