Who ever heard of a woman spy Who wasn't "young and beautiful!" Threatened leather prices ought to restore barefoot dancing to popularity. Nowadays a patch Is the honorable wound stripe of a faithful pair of trou sers, ii&fjvvV What has become of the old-fashioned fellow they used to call a spendthrift? The most attractive item on the menu Is the one that the other fellow ordered. Apparently the consumer does not find debate on the League of Nations very filling. A soviet government Is calculated to make even those attempting to run it tired of life. A girl doesn't like the Idea of work ing for a living unless she Is married to a shiftless man. Thinking up Issue for the 1920 cam paign naturally becomes a fascinating occupation at this time, It is a poor hand, In these profiteer ing times, that does not coulnln at least one accusing finger. If your war garden is in good condi tion It should help very materially to swat the high cost of living. There Is blame enough for all. No one profiteer or set of profiteers should be permitted to monopolize It. The ultimate consumer doesn't con sume as much as he did, and he Is much more ultimate about It. How would you like to be a postman while the government Is delivering those 125-pound food packages? The question Is, what did the prof iteers expect under the circumstances a distinguished service medal? Even the wisest of the economists have not yet figured out how strikes are going to reduce the cost of living. A pedigree with each article showing what it cost the manufacturer, the Job ber and the retailer might help some. Even If you have lost your food saving cards, you con no doubt recall the subject matter and act accordingly. Milk profiteers do not cure how the babies llnd IB cents a quttrt for milk, knowing that the babies must Dud it or starve. Cutting a pie Into seven pieces and charging 15 cents a portion should tend to popularize Ice cream and pudding. jtf" Think of a ten-stdry automobile ho tel, and old Dobbin In all Ills years of faithful service never saw a ten-story livery stnblet IF Department of labor statistics re port the first decline In food prices one-half of 1 per cent.

They are talking In Snntlngo of tax ation as o remedy for war food prices, Jt Is going to ho a warm time for profiteers in Chile. Market prices are calculated to make the possessor of a successful war garden feel like the possessor of H small gold mine. Twenty dollars a pair for shoes will roimicl those who dance to figure on compensating the cobbler as well as on paying the tiddler. China Is still searching the philoso phies of Confucius for some soothing precept that will adequately apply to the Shantung situation. The people are willing to pay all that the law of supply and demand necessitates ; but not all that the profi teers can exact lu addition. Some people who have chosen to he come food boarders are going to feel orry for their so-called foresight when prices begin to tumble. Again Is the plea of a shortage of wool put forward to excuse the ad vancing price of textiles.

Anything that will keep thi, feet from the ground is considered a shoe In Serbia. In the remote rural districts of the country It Is said that many of the people live and die without owning a pair of shoes. In the bitterest weather they travel through mud and snow without adequate foot covering. They consider themselves fortunate If they can secure old gunny sacks or heavy cloth, which they tie about their feet with twine In winter. The first American-made shoes that were distributed by the American Red Cross created a tremendous stir among the people of the distant vll lages. One old woman who had never owned a pair before took the shoes that had been given to her to her home and put them on a shelf above the fire place. She was as pleased as a child to own them, hut nothing could Induce her to wear them. She said that she Intended to save them for fetes, or perhaps for her burial. They wsre "much too beautiful to be worn," she said. It is scarcely an exaggeration to Bay that many matters which agitate the public mind are not worth a thought In comparison with dietary questions to which a thought is seldom given. Gem's Romantic History. Truly romantic is the story of the Braganzn diamond, a stone of 1,660 carats, and "as large as a goose's egg, which, for more than a century, has been the proudest possession of the Portuguese crown. This amazing stone, which Mr. Streeter, the great author ity on gems, has valued at 58,000,000, was picked up by three Brazilian out laws in the half-dried bed of the Abalte river, In the province of Minas Oeraes. The outlaws took the stone to the nearest village priest, who obtained access for them to the governor, Into whose possession It was given. The diamond, the largest and finest hither to found, was dispatched to Lisbon, with the restdt that the three outlaws received the royal pardon and n rich reward, while the padre to whose friendly offices they owed their good fortune was given high preferment In the church. Flower Gardens of Holland, It was only after the fall of Con stantinople In 1453 that Holland be came such a gay land of flowers ns It now Is. Many Dutchmen went to the East during the years of the great crusades, and those of them who loved beautiful things brought seeds with them. When these were planted In the rich soil of Holland such wondrous flowers appeared ns had never before been seen in that country. The people became wildly enthusiastic over the new colors and scents and foliage brought to them from the past, and In Hollnnd there sprang up a great loyg for gardening. GOOD THINGS TO EAT.

Then from the 40 bells, high in the towers of the old cathedral at Verdun, pealed forth these silvery tones that proclaimed again, "Peace on earth." The armistice had come. w-f Slowly the great doors of the ca thedral opened and in rushed 600 allied soldiers. Doctor Maurer of the Red Triangle, says a writer In Association Men, quietly walked to the ultar rail and knelt there. Captains, lieutenants and soldiers reached for the bell ropes, and he feared the opportunity for religious service was lost. But they saw the lonely figure and came Into the choir space. As he rose all was quiet. "Boys," he said, "I believe we all want to sing and that we ought to sing the Doxology." At its close Doctor Maurer raised his hands, and Mohammedans, Catho lics, Protestants and .Tews bowed their heads unci fell on their knees. Amid the ruins 000 soldiers knelt .Moham medans bumping their heuds on the stones, Catholics devoutly crossing themselves, and Jews and Protestunts with hands clasped, faces shining and eyes lifted.

At the close of the singing the French soldiers pushed for ward ond sang, ns only Frenchmen can sing, the "Marseillaise." The French general came forward and took Doctor Maurer's hands. "I want to thank you," he said, "for lend ing these men on this occasion of grace to offer praise to God for the deliver ance of France and for the safety of the world."
