In the competition aroused by the Liberty Loan, the Red cross suo ncrintlon caniDaicn and the army vol unteering, the large citlea have had nearly all the publicity. Anybody might suppoHe, from reading the me tropolian papers, that all the par trlotlBin in the country Is contained In the ten or fifteen cities having the largest population. It is likely that small 'towns In general have done at lenst as well as the big communities. Brunswick, Oa., for Instance, comes forward with tho pult claim that it loads the United States In Liberty Bond subscription. Most Americans may never have heard' of this little city . If so, it Is time they became aware of Its existence. Urunswkk hus 10,000 or 11,000 people. It bought 1,100,000 worth of war bonds. In addition, it subscribed $20,000 to the lied Cros fund. It has given tho nution an cntiro In fantry company of volunteers and has nearly fifty men in tho regular army and navy. All this, perhaps, la nothing to brag of. It Is no more than llrunswlck should have done Hut what city has done better In pro portion to its size? From a London cable wo discover that "men's morning coats and tall silk hats are uio latest articles of wear to bo criticised aa wasteful." Tliero Is a demand for a sartorial censorship to bo fuplled even to these sacred pieces of 'gentlemen's" apparel. Tile reformers want to cut off the long coat tails nnu cut down tho silk hut two inches. So Tar uh our community is concerned, let 'l-ui go ahead nnd cut off tho coat tails at tho neck and mid the silk hut ul tho ears. Tho ordinary roapeetubk' citizen hereabouts haa never felt ob liged to wear a "morning coal" vis ibly different from an "ufternoon coat." Indeed, most of uh have been accustomed to wearing the sttnie I'um forlabte suck coal in the. evening "without any overpowering sense of morat or social depravity. Ah for sllk hats, thunk Heaven, they've been scarcer than frock coats! Our people wear huts for tho specific pmpom of sheltering sensible heads from t lit sun and rain. If Plnidlly Circus and the Strand want to do somo real re forming, let tl.om come here for fash ion hints. How would you like to he ajllugo bos? Popular Mechanics sayB thai among the curious customs of the the 'Phlllihpine Islands one of the most peculiar is that of "beautifying" the teeth by filling and bluckontng them, which prevails among tho iiagohns or Mindanao. Both boys and girls of this tribe undergo the filling pro cess beforo marriage, and this usual ly occurs while they nru still very young. Tho yiuilh who Is to be thus decorated sits on tho ground beside too native dentist, gripping between his teeth a stick of wood to keep his mouth, open. Tho dentist then files ench tooth to a stump, or else he cuts or breaks each to a poinl. us pre ferred by the beauty-seeking pnllcnt. All that Is 1,-ri of ie teeth Is black ened by a powder secured hern a certain native tree. It will lie n sad day for Ihe alien that came lo lhl country to escape war In Europe, to be drafted any way, and sent back to the firing line. Hut while native horn Americans are making the supreme sueririre for de mocracy, tho alien should assume his ipart or tho burden. The man thai I is to enjoy the fruits of democracy: should pay when tho time comes to pay and the lime bus come. ' Jack Tar Newest Models i JNow Ready!

This statement from an active Red Ctohs worker probably represents the mental attitude of a large number of America im. To really get the "feel" of France to day Imagine New York were Paris. There would be days of craMiing hands and Dying banners; glittering detach ments of eavalary with hundreds of horsetail streamers floating out from gold helmets; aeroplanes and dirigibles buzzing overhead; transport mo tors rum bling and Red Cross ambulances speed ing in and out of every'street; organs and orchestras in the churches and cathe drals playing stately marches and brill- lnnt fanfares on the fAte days; soldiers coming and soldiers going; colo drama thrills. Jf New York were Paris there would be signs on some of the while marble mansions, "llospilal Auxiliary 117," or "The Re-education of the Mutilated," or "Hospital for Men Blinded in Battle."

Soldiers our men and boys would forever be leaving those stations (as they have started to leave in thin numbers) on their way hack to the front after the short leave. Id the subways we would see them coming or going, very matter of fact caked with mud coming in or brushed off going out; bulky, worn shoes on their feet, battered steel helmets on their heads, heavy loads on their backs, r.nd somewhere, always, always the mysterious bundle for or from home, fr-oinc of them would have girls, some mothers, and some would be quite alone.
