<m> Berlin is quite superfluous with the
of the world, for outside of some
Germans and a few Germanophiles
elsewhere, it long ago placed the re-
sponsibility for the greatest crime in
'Imtory where it indubitably belonged,
that the Kaiser and his satellites
•brought it on because they expected to
profit from it. Except that it is doc-
umentary, the Bavarian revelation
adds little to what Lichnowsky and
Muehlon already had revealed for
Germany and all the world to read.
But the Bavarian records are interest-
ing, for all that, and one of their
most interesting phases, is seems to
— us, is the proof that Germany under-
i . estimated another nation just as it
did us, and that it virtually invited
Great Britain into the fray by its in-
Vfljyon of Belgium, just as — -i
threw down the gauntlet to
campaign of ruthlessness.
I cases, the German militarists weigneu
the costs against the advantages.
They decided that “British neutrality
Would be paid for too dearly if the
price is the respect of Belgium,” just
as they decked in February, 1917,
that American neutrality would "be se-
cured too dearly if it could be had
oiiiv by abandoning wanton murder,
of rre ws and passengers of merchant
kMpS. / Iv *- —r-j ----------j j
th^t, in both instances, Germany did |
not even consider its pledges—to 1
Great Britain to respect the neutrality
be similarly puzzled.
My reason is that it seems to me
that the habit of thinking people will
not hear anything you do not wish
them to hear is a distinctly feminine
trait, and that men are always reason-
ing with their women folks about their
carelessness in this respect.
The ’Woman Who Makes Audible Com-
ments
Haven't you seen women picking out
people in a gathering and making com-
ments or explanations about them
while their masculine companion urges
them to modulate their voices?
Haven't you seen women who are
dissatisfied with service or purchases,
walk through a shop or restaurant
commenting freely and sonorously on
their dissatisfaction while some un-
happy male trails bebihd, wishing the
floor would open and swallow him up .
The Slaw of the Tonne Feminine
I hold no brief for the faultlessness
of men. Quite the contrary. But I do
think that sins of the tongue are more
apt to be feminine offences; and this
is no exception.
Perhaps the one explanation of the
carelessness of women about what they
Bay, is that they are not held to ac-
acount as men are. While Mr. Russell
might rise up and offer to fight any
man who said his failure left him bet-
ter off than he was before, he couldn’t
very well fight a woman.
. I wonder if an age in which women
> will unquestionably pay for greater
> rights by greater responsibilities and
• accountabilities, will change this n*r-
ticular trait at all.

DAMNING VIRTUES
TICE
Doubtless everyone has at one time
I or another heard and realized the ap-
plication of Butler's famous couplet:
“Compound for sins they are Inclined
to \ . .
By Damning those they have no mind
to.”
A companion piece for it came to me
the other day when I heard a woman
making what is evidently a favorite
statement of hers, for the fourth time.
She was talking about some-women
who had done wonderful war-work,
giving all their time from eight in the
morning until six at night “to the >er-
vice.
' “It certainly is wonderful what some
of these women do,” she said; “and yet
I sometimes wonder !r, when they give
so much time to work outside their
homes, they can be giving the proper
amount of time to looking after con-
nervation in their homes. You know
that is terribly important too. And I
find it takes a great deal of time.’
She paused and one of a group ot ad-
miring auditors (she is quite a prom-
inent woman in her own circle) con.
strued the pause aright and came in
with- "And vou do such splendid work
that way. Mrs. L. you ought to know.
She Did Not Think the Honor Misplac-
ed
Of course that brought a modestzdis-
claimer from her, but it was reason-
ablv plain that she did not feel that
honor was being given where honor
was due.

The Court of Criminal Appeals and
the Attorney General seem disagreed
* ovef the constitutionality of the state-
wide prohibition law—and since the
sidoons haven’t opened up yet, the
latter seems to have a shade the better
of’ ft. Attorney General Looney be-
lieves that the Supreme court will up-
hold the law, and there are some facts
to.~indicate that his belief is well
founded. We have not yet been able
ta reconcile the course of reasoning
that the Court of Criminal Appeals
fallowed that led it to hold the zone
law valid and the state-wide law in-
valid, especially when to the lay mind
the zone law is as much of an in-
vasion of the local option feature of
the constitution as the statewide law,
any perceptible difference being at
most in degree of territory covered.

He sends word to all the llttl<r boys
that they must be very careful about
asking for fireworks. Last year Borne
of the little boys burned their*finger*
and a few burned up houses shooting
fireworks.
Now Loafer is going to ask the Boss
to let him publish all the letters that
the little folks write to Santa Claus.
And Santa Claus wants you to write
on just one side of the paper and write
plain so that it can be read. -
Last yeaj some big boys and girls
who thought they would be smart
wrote letters and tried to play off on
Santa Claus. This a sign of lack of
something, Santa will not say what,
but they should remember that Santa
Claus is just friendly to little people
and does not want letters from great
big girls who want to do something
mean to somebody else.
Get your letters j-eady quick ana
mail them to Santa Claus, put a two
cent stamp on them and drop them in
the postoffice. If you have no stamp
just bring them to the Record-Chron-
icle office and hand them in to that
great big ugly feller and they will get
in the proper rvfad to go to Santa
Claus. Everybody get busy. Make Dad -
help and if he is mean about it tell
Mama on him—she will tend to his
case. Anyljibw. get the letters ready.
They must be in by Saturday morning.
December 21. Remember to get them
in here by that time. Santa Claus must
have his mail all in by that time so
that he can get ready.to make his trip.
Now if you don’t see jJour letter in the
paper the fiAt day Kfter you mail it
do not be disappointed. It will get ir.
all right but sometimes it takes a day
or two. Santa's waiting for the letters
from the little folks.
A few days ago Loafer made a few
supposedly facetious remarks anent a
newspaper handed him by his friend
T- A. Robinson. Now Loafer’s remarks
were intended wholjy as a joke but it
.seems that his work was altogether
too coarse and that he has offended-the
kind donor of the paper. It was hand-
ed with the advice to read the political
feature article and this perhaps Loafer
fafiled to appreciate being* benighted.-,
Democrat, but if he has offended he is
trulv sorrv and regrets that he has
hurt Mr. Robinson’s feelings. ’
In so far as the respect for Tennes-
seeans and Tennessee is concerned
Loafer will not take off his Mat to any
one. It is the land of his nirth and the I
land of his fathers and if he in any <
way led any one to believe that he did
not respect these people he is very sad.
The old man who had the grand chil-
dren lived in the town in which this
Loafer was raised and is none the
world any more.

is always impaired by fever or other I
derangements. A. hog in medium con-
dition. gaining rapidly in weight,
yields the best quality of meat. Do not
kill a hog that is losing flesh. A rea-
sonable amount of fat gives juiciness i
and flavor to the meat, but large
amounts of fat are not essential. The 1
breeding of animals plays an import- !
ant part in producing a carcass of
high quality. Selection, long continued
care and intelligent feeijing will pro-
duce meat of desirable quality. The
smooth, even, and deeply fleshed hogs ,
will vield the nicely marbled meat.
Hogs intended for slaughter should
remain unfed Tor at least 24 hours, cr
better. 30 hours. Give them all the
clean, fresh water they will drink |
This will help to clear the system of
food and will facilitate bleeding. Do
not excite or whip hog before kill-
ing. An excited hog never makes a
good carcass, and whipping causes
bruised hams, which are not fit to
cure. An injured hog may be used
for food, provided it is bled Immed-
iately.
Use Barrel for Scalding Hogs.
A useful equipment for hog killing
includes: an eight-inch, straight
sticking knife, a cutting knife, a 14-
inch steel, a hog hook, a bell-shaped
stick scraper, a gambrel, and a meat
saw. More than one of each of these
tools may be necessaryy if manyi hogs
sre to be slaughtered and handled to
best advantage. A barrel is a very
convenient receptacle in wThich to
scald hogs. The barrel should- be
of ■ placed at an angle of about 4a de-
! greds at the end of a table ot platform
of proper height. The table and bar-
entertain- rel should be securely fastened to
guest of prevent accident to the workmen due
•"_~i the I to slipping. A block and tackle will
French soil his, reduce labor. All the tools and *P"
----. Iparatus should be In readiness before
beginning.
In some sections for humane reas-
ons the hog is stunned or shot before
il ind he sticking. If the animal is stuck with-
out being stunned, he should be held
■wiil^reacl/ Paris on the squarely pn his back wt»en stuck. A
ed. the narrow, straight-bladed knife. abojj‘
opportunity eight inches long, -should be used. The
knife should be pointed directly to-
ward the root of the tall and held in
a line with the backbone. Thrust the
knife in six or eight inriies directly in
front of the breastbone. Then turn
the knife and withdraw it as this
severs the arteries in the neck ana
insures better bleeding. Avoid stick-
ing the heart, for if this is done the
blood will not be pumped from the ar-
teries. After sticking, the hog may b®
turned over* on the side.
Water for scalding may best be
heated in a Irffge caldron near th-
place of butchering. For mediqm-sized
hogs, a barrel is satisfactory fofi scald-
ing purposes. A block and tackle for
hoisting purposes is valuable for lift-
ing the carcass in and out of the
reel and for hanging up when en-
trails are to be removed.
Do Not Have Water too Hot.
For scalding, the water should be at
a temperature of 185 degrees to 195
! degrees F.. a thermometer being used.
If the water is too hot. the hair is
likely to set, causing even more
trouble than if too cold. A teaspoon-
ful of lye or a shovelful of wood
ashes aded to «Vry <nKali!?ntn re*
water and well stirred will aid in re-
moving the scurf.
Insert the hog hook in the
jaw, place the hdg on the table, and
elide it inta the barr®1- The rear end
of the hog is scalded first for the
reason that if the water is too hot and
the hair sets it can be removed easie»
from the rear than from the fore part
of the hog The hog should be kept
• ter to be sure that
j part will rest against the side of
i the barrel. Ocassionally the hog should
