Although America is still long on
everything, we are still short of war.
We do not have war in America,
but take a look at the fourteen

Remember 'way back when it was
considered a virtue to practice
economy.
Another reason why we have
plenty of weather '.s that it is wide-

Tact is knowing how to give a
graceful evasion to a gob of un-
pleasant truth.

A New York City friend sends in
a picture of Wall Street, explaining
that it was once the site of a wall
to protect New Amsterdam from
the Indians and that George Wash-
ington’s statue looks on the sub-
treasury building, where he took his
oath of office. The old wall is long
since gone with the Indians, but
whether it fell down, rotted away
or was eaten by the termites, it is
not known. Nevertheless, the wall
might as well be there, ten times
as high as it used to be, so far as
going in there and coming out with
anything is concerned. Nowadays
when a man is losing everything
and is threatening to go completely
busted he is said to be up against

chance of getting away with his
money as a duck has of putting his
bill through congress.
WASHINGTON —Plans for hotip-
ing and training an army Of 3,000,-
000—double the size of the force
now being organized—are beirtg
made by the War Department.
Military authorities said the ar-
rangements were of a precautionary
nature, and there was no indica-
tion that, barring some grave emer-
gency development, any effort would
be made to put them into effect i'1
the near future. ‘ ' •
A force of 3,000,000 would mean
an army of 55 infantry divisions as
compared with the force of 27 di-
visions, totaling 1,418,000 regulars,
reserves, guardsmen and trainees,
which is scheduled to be completed
by June.
In preparing for a possible en-
largement, the War Department has
undertaken surveys of sites for ad-
ditional camps and cantonments
over the country.

is chiefly due to the presence of
the sun during the past few

Spring has more tricks up its

it never has before.
