It lG't4 tkt ttb)A ( longer. Ihe flag i now tnkvn to mean bloodshed, and the. overturning by criminal Vio lence of cherished instltutiiAu. It is the Socialists Ihumselves who have given their flag that significa tion, by their. championship of I'run aianism during the war and by their moro recent support and emulation of .Bolshevism with all its brutality and crime. There is much agitation for legal enactments ogainut the red flag. The Socialists would take that, naturally, as proof of persecution, and adopt the role of martyrs. Hut whether then banner is banned by luw or by volun tary civic opposition, they have only themselves to blume for turning a once admirable symbol into a by-word and a hissing. No Economy to Be Had In Cheapness. ".My Country Tin of .Thee, . Hueot Jjuiit of Ubctrly." WillBe Slow. In Making Amends. While the speech of the head of the German dulegatiun ut Versailles seems conciliatory and acknowledge ment is made of the defeat of Cerman arms, there ia an undercurrent which proclaims that Germany will bo slow in paying for the damage they have done. The real motive is hidden, as UHual, under the convenient generaliz ing of the "fourteen points," nllhough some of tho delegates are quoted as openly saying, that while they would sign the treaty Germany will not pay an indemnity. Tho speech of Cuunt von Ilroekendorff-Hantzau apparently accepts responsibility 'or the damage done to tho allied an! associated gov ernments, but intinw.tion is made that Germany m not entirely responsible for tho blame. That position will bo taken as the basis for justification to avoid payment as long as possible. In this position Germany has one ad vantage. Germany is a bankrupt and how can a bankrupt pay ? , What plan can he adopted to enforce payment? "Will sign, but will not pay.'' This is merely an acknowledgement of the debt, but a protest of inability to cancel the obligation. That position lias been taken over and over again in private affairs.1' It will be attempt ed by Germany, according to all the preliminary signs.

They are only to show that the saving in gasoline alone must be figured as going a long way towaid paying for the construction of good pavements the country through. The Brotherhood of Sig nificance Is Lost. lhero is no national law against rallying the red flag in this1 country l-'ew states or cities have regulations against it. -Ami yet almost every time the red banner appears iu an American city there is trouble for its In all this discussion of building there is one fact of which not much is said, but which nevertheless stands out clearly. It is the folly of flimsy building. There is u natural temptation, when the cost of labor and mnterial is high, to lower the expense by cheap con struction. Any honest und intelligent building contractor can point out the futility of such an attempt. Nearly half the coat of ordiuary coitstruction is for labor. The laboi costs just us much whether it is ap plied to good material or poor ma terial. Why waste five-dollar ..'labor on two-dollar stuff? .... 1 Kven when tho materials alone are considered, it is a mistake. Ask any trustworthy builder or dealer whether there is real economy in poor matorial. Ilo will probably tell you that the difference in price between trashy stuff and fine, dui-nhlc stuff is nearly always - less than the difference in quality and serviceability. Lumber that costs 20 per cent more per foot is likely to last 50 per cent longer, and give hotter satisfaction all the time. A copper-coil water heater for the home may cost twice as much as a cast-iron heater, and last three or four times as long and give more h-.d water for less fuel all tho while. Shin gles costing 50 per cent more will last twice as long. When it cornea tii puint and varnish, the best is notoriously the cheapest. It is so with almost every aort of plumbing, if one does not go in for fancy fixtures rather than real quality. It is especially wise to act on this principle if, as some (experts maintain, building prices arc jgoing to go still higher hereafter. Any person who has ever done much .house-hunting knows the result, in present-day values, of having put good, honest materials and workman ship into houses built in former days. .Many a house erected 15 or 20 years ago will sell for more money now than a house, which was built only nvo years ago, but on which the build er scamped his materials and labor.

The resolution was forwarded to Mr. Jlines. raised by her grandfather. The call to relieve suffering' humanity came to her while Htill a young girl and after; her preliminary education she began' fitting herself for the career of a; nurse. j Mish Delano was graduated . from lielievue Hospital, Training School for' nunies, New York, irt 1880. Two years' later she volunteered to nurse yellow fever victims in Jacksonville, Klorhla. i Up to the time Miss Delano and a few other courageous nurses went to Jack- sonville from New York, the fever; patients had been cared for by some! negro nurses, who, while tender and, devoted, lacked the necessary scicn-! tific skill. At Bis bee, Arizona, Miss Delano es tablished a hospital for one of the big j copper companies. Later she was made superintendent of Nurses' Train ing iichool of the University of Penn-! sylvania. In 11)00 she returned to Hellevue Hospital to direct the nurses training school of that institution.' When the American Red Cross, follow-1 ing its organization in 1!05, entered into an agreement with the American Nurses' Association for the purpose of developing a nursing reserve for the; Army Nurse Corps, Miss Delano was appointed chairman of the committee in charge of the work. She was alsoi named as superintendent of the Army Nurse Corps by the surgeon general. The following letter indicates her tremendous achievements in this great wo rk : "My dear Miss Delano: "The war being virtually over, I de sire to take this occasion to express to y'du my appreciation and that of the Medical Department of the army, ot the splendid service which you and yjuur organization have rendered the government in supplying practically 18,000 nurses to the army corps alone. ''The group of women now serving in tho corps is, I believe, one' of the largest organized groups of profes sional women in the world, and it is largely due to your efforts and that of the nurses of your organization that this has been made possible.
