A NEW HEART IN ENGLAND.
(New Republic.)
It has a literal fact that millions of
i.ien and women who twelve months
ago were at a loose end and living aim
less lives, have now discovered that
, , y have a mission. Cases are known
to the present writer which might be
described as veritable conversions. But
the whole temper of society is affected
by the presence in Its midst of so many
people to whom a vocation has come
at last, and the change is in the direc
tion of mental steadiness and equi
librium. To that extent it may be
claimed that we are happier than we
wen. It would be a serious mistake,
in any event, to suppose we are all
sadder than we were before the war.
.Nii doubt, the streets are less brilliant,
ilia hotels less crowded, the noise less
oiistrustive. But the lnldlvidual is not
more gloomy. He is brighter; more
cheerful.
CEASAR IN ENGLAND.
(Indianapolis News.)
The exact date upon which Julius
Caesar landed on the shore sof Britain
was dertnitely determined a few years
ago. and Sunday, August 27, 66 B. C.,
has been set down as the day of that
important event. Caqsar himself tells
that he set out on this expedition from
Boulogne at midnight with 8,000 men
in transports, besides a few swift
moving war galleys or triremes, and
arrived at a point in the forenoon. He
si,id that hut little of summer remained
and the people were engaged in the
harvest, and that he returned three
weeks later, just before the equinox. '
He further says that the full moon oc- ]
eurred on the fourth day after his
landing. The full moon of August in -
htat year is ascertained from nstron- i
omieal tables to have been at 3 a. m. 1
of the 31st so that Caesar landed on
the 27tli. Tt has been defcrmlned that
he landed near a place now called
Romney, that name having been affied
to the place in commemoration of its
having been the site of the Arts Ro
man encampment on British soil.
FASHIONS IN WAR TIME,
(London Pally Chronicle.)
Fashion in food, drink, dress and
speech bear the impress of the war;
and London, having renounced German i
sausages, lias welcomed the Belgiun
tea shot) with the special Belgian
■'patisserie” that is thrusting Its way
into tile west end. "Turkish delight
seems to have changed its name, but
t ot Its nature. But what about Turk
ish cigarettes? Has any cigarettes con
sume- abandoned that brand? Those
smokers were divided into two classes,
lovers of Virginia and lovers of Tur
key. However, If conscience should
smite you may reAect that Egyptians
and Turkish are made from the same
tobacco and Egypt is not an enemy
country.
COMMENDS CITY MANAGER PLAN.
(Outlook.)
In an article in the National Munici
pal Review Richard S. Childs, the
chairman of the National Municipal
League’s committee on the commission
plan of government for cities, replies to
the question, How is the commission
manager plan getting on? In the words
“Very nicelv, thank you.”
The idea began to be put in effect
less Ilian three years ago. Today nine
teen cities have city managers, and
others are to have them. Payton, O., |
is the largest and pays its manager
the hurt Ft salary, $12,600. Twelve of
the cities have less than 12,000 popula
ti u The populatl-ns vary from 1,324
li 116,677.
Fears that local politics would Inter
fere in the choice of the best available
expert in municipal management have
proved groundless, and a surprising
tiling is that almost all of the man
agers chosen have been from out of
town—obtained by advertising and
scruUnizng records, just as a good
j busines Arm might do. It is reported
That the plan "sems to have increased
service without correspondingly in
creased expense." Often the manager
having control of all departments of
city work, can utilize one department
to help another, as in Sumter, where
the manager refused to buy shovels for
j street work when the water depart- •
• nent had plenty of idle shovels. Again,
"Highly typienl of the new spirit is the
failure to All the olflce of director of'
public safety at Dayton and Spring
held. It was a charter position, but
not altogether necessary, inasmuch as
tin- Are and police departments are al
ready unified and require little over
head co-ordination. How long w-ould
such an exempt position, with its good
salary, have remained vacant under the
old regime?”
4
The plan is still in the experimental
stage. In some cases, at least, and es
pecially in small towns, the manager
system seems to At the case exactly.
It is not “one-man government,” be
cause the commission hires and over
sees the manager.
NORTHWEST CANADA DRY.
(Sunset Magazine.)
For many years the wettest spots j
across (he boundary to the north were!
located in the Canadian prairie prov- I
inces . The consumption of good old |
Scotch was tremendous; the tee-total
er’s attitude was considered almost In- ,
decent. W(iisk.\ during the long win- |
ter was deemed a necessity. No busi
ness transaction was complete unless
Bacchus had approved it with Ills wet
seal.
Alberta went dry on July 30 in ah
election which showed that even the
cities were realizing the advantages of
enforced sobriety. Snsketchewan closed
up all public bars three weeks before
th Alberta election.
As Idaho has decide to have a pro
hibition law so drastic that the mere
possession of alcoholic stimulants will
be a misdemeanor, there will remain
only six wet commonwealths west of
the Rockies after New Year's Only
In California. Rrltish Columbia. Utah,
Nevada. Montana, and Wyoming will
the sale of alcohol continue.
THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE PROB
LEM.
(Chicago Evening Post.)
It’s all as clear ns mud. England’s
pound is off in value over here because
site owes us so much money; so, to
square things, she sends iter hankers
over to borrow half a billion more.
AS SEEN BY A YOUNG CHINESE.
(Chinese student's composition in the
World Otulook.)
Japanese customs are nearly the
same as our country, but they love
cleanness and also fond of swimimng.
The German people so love their mus
tache that every morning they do noth
ing but comb their mustache. The
English soldiers play football every
day, but the well-educated people are
fond of tennis. The Americans are a
country of much interest. They are
famous for their baseball and dancing.
Turks. Fins and Laplanders all have
dirty clothes on and are not so wise
as French, etc., that they are hired for
waiters and slaves.
The Americans arc quite clean like
the Japanese and eat clean food, so
they have little time to catch 111.
Americans take their wives whenever
they travel. Most of the Europeans
have beards, hut the Americans shave
every day.
Women of America bind their waists
very tightly so that the short clreum
ft fence appear. There are two very
wonderful customs, that is the Chinese
women binding their feet and the for
eign women binding their waists. Each
I of these customs is very bad. I hope
Chinese and foreign women abandon
these customs. Also American men
i --------
! h;i\e strange custom to go high under
lit' hin with very hard cloth which is
tiled collars.
1 r. ses ind ornaments are exceed
1 -only nice in America. The English
have no means to that, but their good
'ng is much more expensive than
the Americans.
