Prom every station in lite, from every profession, of every age and condition, there are colonels to the right and left, colonels ad lib itum and ad nauseam. From whence T K"r,jwogationof eolonelistic talent? Where hnva h... eagles that have swooped down and u uiesesnouiaera? Home of them were infants in arms when the , sea. some of them were manipulators of hotel registers and concocters of the tittilating cocktail while the war raged, and some have been tenders of equestrian steeds since thoy have been high enough to reach a stirrup. How come these to be dubbed "colonel?1 Faithful and persistent inquiry among the colonels themselves throws little light upon the subject. Some cannot claim anything better than that their wives' people kept a hotel where the soldiers boarded. They do pot claim, even, that they themselves kept the hotels. There would seem to be a shadow of reason why the ma jestic creature, in a dean, starched Blurt and Alaskan diamond pin, look ing complacently to heaven as he balances a tanr.rmii.lr wlfl. ii . . . i uw hps ana thrusts a penholder at a gnest, should be called by a high-sounding military title, but to dub a man colonel only be cause his father-in-law's brother kept a boarding-house seems to be strain ing a point.

It was so long eo, you know, and I have always had a bad head for fig ures." Another explained that hav ing formed a partnership with a major who was a junior in a concern, it be came necessary, as a matter of disci pline to the help, that he should rank his partner. The fact remains, how ever, that the colonels are overrunning the AArth anil .i . . -- ."""ug- me suMiance thereof. Privates are as scarce as the teeth of hens. Most nnmilitary people think that corporal is the higher offi cer, and whoever hears of a sergeant? ltiere is a general impression abroad that a colonel has something to do with horses-something between a far rier and a veterinary surgeon-and the real colonels. th, fn hA i . . . .
