He sniffed again, uttered a satisfied grunt, and, seizing It In bls powerful jaws, shook It. “Whoop! a fruit cake!” yelled a watchful soldier, and grasped It as It rolled to the ground. “Hurrah!" Some knitted socks and a dozen lit tle packages tied up with ribbon fell out of the shattered receptacle. Dale uttered a sharp gasp. Among them was a letter. He snatched it up and, aflusb and quivering, secreted it In his pocket quickly. But not for long. When he bad di vided the cake among his Importunate comrades and gathered up the num berless mementoes from home, he gok to his tent sp«>edlly. He opened the precious missive, his eyes rparkled, be kissed It fervently and his face fairly shone. What a wild, riotous, fun-producing New Year’s day! Old Bruin did him self proud. irtid Dale never sang the patriotic songs apportioned him on the program so thrlllingly. “I say," observed Roy quizzically aa the day waned, “you've acted like some wild schoolboy I" “Reason to!" cried Dale fervently, and his heart beat faster against the cherished missive lying next to it— the letter from Winnie saying: “I have always loved you, and. though half the world separates us. I love you now more than ever!” OU may have noticed that optometrists talk more about “ yes ” and “E yesight ” and “S ervice ” than they do about glasses. Y This because optometrists have something more imjx.rtant than glasses to talk about. Any optical place is supposed to have eyeglames and not carpets or furniture.

Those who fear that changes will come so rapidly as to promote rev olutionary Ideas should remember that our great task In this war Is nut yet completed. It Is more than probable that we shall keep 1,000,000 men in Europe for more than a year. This, with the resumption of normal manu facturing. ought to act as a sort of brake to stabilise Industries and make the new organization the more eaaily effected. It Is not too much to say that the universal rwognltlon by the American people of the necessity of Individual saving and conservation was one of the principal factors that won the vic tory over Germany. For If they had not complied so generally with the food regulations It would have been Impos sible to keep the people of the allied countries supplied with the necessities off life.

It is too early, perhaps, for the world to realize what the bringing of western democ racy to the east—Incidentally to the bigger half of the habitable globe— means In the development of the entire human problem, but great things are coming out of Asia. Things are already getting back to the pre-war baste Timo la money and this country does not waste It in Idla waiting.
