HAVE YOU?
There is a form of patriotism much deeper than that ex
cited hy gunpowder. Xo rattle of snare drum is necessary to
impel the true citizen of his duty. He does not have to be
bogged to perform the functions conferred upon him by his
flag. He does not have to be driven to obedience to law.
The public prints just now are full of the talk of fighting
and of peace, of patriotism and of the lack of it, and a consid
erable proportion of it all is mere chatter. Tin* truest test of
sound patriotism is not found on the battlefield. It is found
in the paths of prosperity, where tlie public enemy is indisious,
and more dangerous than an armed foe in the open.
Indifference to the public welfare is that insidious enemy.
And that indifference is growing. Tt is apparent in this com
munity at the present moment.

A THOUSAND ROWS. \
A Virginia woman opened a letter from her son, a student .
in a Cincinnati college, tin* other day, and read the opening
paragraph to her daughter:
“Mother, 1 am about to enter the eternity. Prepare for
the worst.”
Mother and daughter forthwith fell in a faint, the neigh
horhood smelling salts were hastened to the rescue, and a
physician was summoned'. Fie revived the prostrated and then
asked what it was all about. Mother handed the letter to the -
doctor, who read:
“Mother, 1 am about to inter a fraternity. Prepare for
the worst.”
The doctor burst into a laugh, but it did not diminish the
amount of his fee.
The point to the story is that most of us usually are read
ing into what the other fellow has said, or what the magazine
or the newspaper has said, something which they did not say,
and' trouble very often results. Accuracy of reading and 1 is
tening is as important as accuracy of speaking and writing. A
thousand useless rows start each day through a lack of pere
ception.

BACK TO THE KITCHEN.
It may be reiterated without danger of prolix persiflage
that war has its compensations. Here comes the announcement
of a back to the kitchen movement. Society women and others
who pursue useless butterflies have announced in New York
city the organization, under the National Housewives’ League, ”
of a campaign whose aim is a non-dispeptic menu. Every
woman’s club in America will be urged to fall in line.
• Back of it all is the desire to make husbands and sons fit
mi war. mipmeou lain dow n me principle mar an army travels|
on its stomach. The women accept that dictum.
The war has r(*scued many women and men from idleness.
It has opened new vistas and dammed the flood of froth.
(Charitable enterprises have supplanted silly gambling and van- -
ity has surrendered to sympathy. The whole aspect of society
functioning lias been altered by the frowning of Mars.
The back to the kitchen adventure bodes some ill, as well
as great good. There are men who will find urgent excuse to
leave home when their wives supplant the efficient Mollies and
Olgas of the Oven. There are many others who will find a
new reason for believing that after all the world is a paradise
worth while. The beans will be spilled again and again before
some households are rearranged to the fads of wife in her in
dustrious efforts to eliminate anemia from husband. For]
there will be fads in fatuous flocks—new breakfast food's -new;
tabloid diets—new condiments—new utensils—and an acreage
of advice surpassing the capacity of roods and furlongs to
measure them.
Xo telling to what extremes the affair will run, and many!
a man will be placed in the fattening coop much against hisl**
henpecked will, and a legion of husbands will long for the] '
return of the happy day when he burned his own toast, forgot ■
his egg in the boiling kettle and' in his absent mindedness tried j
to make coffee without the coffee.
But we must be brave. A feminine reform usually requires!
masculine forlitude. It will unyap new energies and new ideals
among the triflers, let’s have it. Tet’s have anything that will
save housekeeping and home cooking among the fine arts.
---;o ■
Financial condit ions are reaching a point in Europe I
where, if a government wants to float a new loan, it has to!
create a sea of enemy blood to make the process easy.
-to:
Tf March lives up to tradition, it’s going should be very,
mild. There certainly was nothing lamblike in the way the;
month came upon us.

Again the enthusiastic amateur is reminded that one,
bright day isn’t a sure sign that it’s time to start the garden, j
