Camouflaged Philosophy.
There's nothing like nn nutomohlle
to facilitate the spending o one's
money.
There Is a growing conviction that
some of the returned soldiers are not
looking for work.
The war has proven that there Is no
reason why an American president
should not see the world. ,
The fellow who doesn't worry about
the weather has more time to devote1
to his other troubles.
Every ship which now reaches this
side continues the glad news that the
boys are coming home.
Von can't fool all the people nil the
time, but the people fool themselves
a great deal of the time.
The impression Is getting abroad
from Paris that the French do not
llko the Germans very well.
Americans play baseball nlong the
Ithlne while the Ocnnnns shoot each
other In Iierlin. The mirth of nations.
When the ex-Unlser gets tired of be
ing referred to as the ex-kaiser he can
hovo them call him the former kaiser.
One trouble In Germany Is that there
are so many persons who haven't any
thing to do except work at bolshevlsm.
In the meantime, every citizen must
he an employment agency for any sol
diers or sailors who happen to need
work.
If nil problems could be solved as
easily as bills are drawn to solve them,
wouldn't this be a grand era In which
to live?
Those Berlin monarchists who are
reported as ready "to grab the govern
ment" maybe are waiting until they
cun find it,
European reactionaries once sneered
at America for "dollar chasing" and
now sneer because America refuses to
chase dollars.
The reign of terror, or restoration
of law and order, as the case may be,
no sooner ends in Prussin that it be
gins ngnln.
Even conscientious objectors have
not wholly escaped the horrors of
war. Some of them have had their
feelings hurt.
Professional opinions continue to
differ as to whether Brest Is the world's
prize pest-hole or one of the healthiest
spots lu Europe,
One renson there are so few old
fashioned girls running at large is
that discerning men murry them as
Boon as detected.
Osrntnny has declared garters to he
a luxury, hut they continue to be con
sidered necessities In all allied coun
tries except Scotland.
In the general distribution of war
medals why should not there be one
for the tired consumer who stayed
home and paid the bills?
KurojjpBfi art critics who Insist that
Aiuurlcnn sky-scrapers are beautiful
JtfTve never been hung up between
Hoots lu a stalled elevator.
"Within live years," says a Phila

VICTORY NOTES
NOT TO LOWER
IN PAR VALUE
New Issue Has Special Appeal
to All Investors,
Says Expert.
"Capitalists, as well as the small In
vestor, may purchase the new Victory
Loan notes with the fullest assurance
that they will hold in the market clnse
to the issue price," declared 0. K
Weeks, Victory Loan campaign man
ager for the Twelfth District, today
in calling attention to the strong ap
peal the Victory notes make to invest
ors strictly from an investment stand
point He continued:
"It has, of course, been a source of
disappointment to subscribers for pre
vious Liberty Loan issues that these
issues have gone, even temporarily, to
a discount of five or six points In the
market.
"While thiB does not represent a real
loss to those who have held their bonds
for Investment, It Is reassuring to sub
scrlbers for Victory notes that no sue'
discount Is possiblo In the case of th
present issne.
"Discount Impossible."
"A decline of the, Victory lan notes
of only one point, to 99 for example,
would put (hem on an Interest return
of 5.03'A. Even during the war, with
the prospect of continued largo Issues,
no Liberty Donds have over declined to
tnj such basis. The Fourth I.oan
tonris loday, as a maltcr of fact, are
selling to yield less than the i'A
paid by the Victory notes at par.
"A similar situation exists in the
case of the series of 3 fully tax
exempt notes which arc suitable for
the larger Investors. The first Issue
of lie fully tax-exempt Liberty Bonds
brauins ZVi Interest, In spite of all
the liquidation during Ihc war, are
selling today to yleid only 3.55.
'Should the VI lory I.oan 31
notes decline to 99, this would be
equivalent I) a i.O?,';i return from Its
fully tax-exempt note, which would be
equivalent to 91 for the Liberty Loan
3Us which now are In active demand
la ii market at 99."
