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.

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.

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.

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. Yours
very sincerely, MKKIIITT W. IRK
