They are not stage names or pen names, but what we might tall citizens' names foreigners' names Americanized, to make them look better and sound better In this war time when everything alien Is taking to cover. Bartenders are said to be putting up me excuse ior noi euieriu i service, that "their hands are soft as a baby a ana tneir ieei are uui irood." Poor bunk!

But If the normal course were much of a muchness for all classes till tbe end of adolescence there would be uu edu cated community wherein certain gen- oral stundnrds would be as common a possession as reading mid writing are ut the present time, uml In such a com munity cluss distinction could only take u secondary place. General education is, In fuct, the most per vasive and the best of deinocrutlc agencies, because It levels all up and pulls nothing dowu. Tlmt It ita con tribution to soclul democracy.

"assign" them to farm duty, instead of letting them go before the draft board and claim "exemption." The average farmer is Just like any other American citizen: He doesn't want to appear as a weak-kneed brother begging off from fighting duty In other words he does not want that word "coward" flung In his face In later years because of the fact that he "claimed exemption." For this very reason, many farmers are right now at the front when they could serve their country in a much great er canaclty by remaining on their farms and producing food for the bel ligerents. But the war board's pol icy is driving thousands of farmers from the producing ranks. The pol icy Is wrong. Americans use such offel language. Dey know nothing of "kultur" and say such offel dings right before us. And dey talk blasphemy too. Vat you tink dey said right Iii frond of my face?

The Right of Way "We have thus far stood the bitter struggle honorably," said General Ludendorff recently, "and are confi dent that we will continue to do so." Perhaps it should be explatned that when a German militarist says "honorably" he means "successful ly." In modern Germany anything you can get awiy with is "honor able."
