Thoy wanted jsoreh, fUrhlturs and they wanted summer ejirtalns; they 'cried aloud for cretonnes, and they crlod aloud tor denims. l've got t6 set out of town."one woman Informed an Indifferent audience, "I ean't stand thief" heat, and wouldn't be ho re now it 1 didn't liavo to pet a fow last things to makd my summer home comfortable." Ope woman, alone, stood patiently by. Her Uncdrseted figure was wrapped In an ugly winter coat, far too old and heavy to be mado to do summer duty, too. On her head sho wore a shawl. Her red, labor-worn hands clutched tightly a shabby purse. Sho was exactly the typo that impressionistic artists use when thoy want to portray an Ellis Is land Immigrant Just landed with the light of hope in her oye and the grim determina tion to win a home In this biff country, tho land of the newcomer's dreams. Ultimately her turn to be waited upon 'came. Then sho deposited on the counter in front of tho engaging young man who 'had asked her what sho wanted a pack age. ' "Gotta flag," she announced, indicating tho package,"want do pole." Tho salesman undid the package and a large-size Amer ican flag was revealed. Ho r was sur prised. Tho woman wasa Russian Jewess. 'TVhy, you're not an American," ho re marked to her affably; "what are you doing with our flag?" "Mo citizen," sho said proudly; "once Russian, Now mo hang out do flag. My man, ho go to tho war. Ho say he no Uko war, but this beeg country it givo him his chance'. He Hko America. Ho light for it." "And you?" tho young man queried, In- terestcd; "what are you going to do while ho I away?" "Me?" she repeated, "oh, mo work." This with that stolid resignation which char acterises her kind, "JDat's nodding, me want hoem to go. Dees a good country, Me hang out do flag." From her flat pocketbook she look a dollar and a halt, 75 cents for the pole and 75 cents for the holder. Her Jargon was so bad the salesman had difficulty making out her address. It was In the slums. No cretonnes for summer homes for her, but a great big American flag, so that all who go by that little homo on IVlnton street will havo no doubt as to the patriotic sontlments of its oacupant. It was very touching, this woman's gratitude to Uncle Sam for permitting her to come hero nnd live. God knows from tho looks of her she had llttlo enough, but what Bho had sho gave a husband for the army and some money for a flagpole Only an hour beforo witnessing this Bcono I road In tho day's news that Brigadier Goncral Price had called Mayor Smith over the telephone at midnight to ask that recruiting be stimulated so that Philadelphia would not suffer tho tils graco of having its detachments with held because of lack of men. This woman did not realize that war had not yet been declared, and yet sue sent her man. "Ho no like war, but ho like America." I asked myself, how many Americans aro there who Uko America to the extent .that.theso poor people do? Are thero not many American women who might profit from this Ignorant woman's example? We hear a lot of talk about the insufll clent pay In the nrmy It Is true, it is Insufficient. But despite that fact, how many American women with no other resource than her husband's pay envclopo will say with this foreign woman? "Me' work. Cat's nodding. Me like America!" M'LISS.

J. n. The President Is commander-in-chlsf of the army. As such he has the power to send a punitive expedition Into Mexico, alio to call out the National Guardsmen for tho defense of the border. He.' Is not, em powered to declare war. That power rests with Congress, though often a state of war exists long before Congress has tnken ac tion. This happened In the last Mexican war. Tho National Guardsmen, however, at the time this Is written are being sent only to the border, not Into Mexico.

The most striking symptom of gallstones is pain. The' pain results from the tear ing of the lining of the gait ducts and gall bladder by tho sharp edge- of tho stone. The more a stone' moYott-about the greater the pain. The more quiet it is the less the pain. 'Pain, then, Is a result of motion of the Stone and, therefore, only indirectly due to a stone. A man can have gallstones and not have pain. In fact, autopsies show that most of the people who have gallstones never have pain enough to know that they have the disease. When a man who has suffered from gall, atone pains ceases to havo colic It Is no sign that his gallstones have been absorbed, dis solved or cured Inany.other way. Why do people who have' gallstones post pono operation just as long as possible? They have heard of people whoso pain stopped after taking some gallstone medi cine, or of people' who were benefited by the Carlsbad cure or some other cure, and they aro hoping that something will turn ip to maJtVoperatlon unnecessary In their cases; Why do some people who have been op erated on have pain or other symptoms after cperatlon? Dr. John B. Deaver, of Philadelphia, an swers that question In the Illinois Medical Journal. The most frequent cause Is de layed operation. Some of the attacks of pain In gallstone disease are due to at tacks pf local peritonitis. The gall bladder is Infected, and naturally when the disease lasts a long time there are occasional In fections of the neighboring peritoneum. -These Infections produce adhesions. In old neglected cases of gallstones adhesions are the .rule. At the time of operation the gall stones are removed. Even if they are, they may re-form. Doctor Deaver says that he has not been very successful In preventing or removing adhesions in old. nsglsc'ted cases of gall stone disease, and the same experience has fallen to the lot of all the competent busy surgeons. In the light of these experiences the man who postpones operation for gall stones, hoping that something will turn up, la running mora risk than that of more at- By WILLIAM A. EVANS, M. D. tacks of gallstone colic. He is increasing his chance of ndheslon pains. The next most frequent cause of return of pain after operation Is the passage of stones. Although the sail bladder is emptied of stoneH, there may be other stones in the recesses of the liver. Stones way up In the liver cannot be gotten at by the knife, or by any medicine, for that matter. In course of time such stones may work down into the gall bladder, causing pain. Or stones may form in a gall bladder from which stones have been removed. Behind the for mation of stones lies a mild, slow Infection of the gall bladder. When the gall bladder is sterilized and drained the Infection which caused the stones In the first place may be, and usually is, cured. But sometimes it persists. In such cases new stones may be formed, We . havs would Few Caaea Cured an l am It: A rontends that hllft an 9PBrtima.it ..Ann .! .... ." ' "-T . ...

W. It. Aids for the Deaf Being hard of hearing. I know the trag edy of every partial deafness. There seems to be a woeful lack of Information among deaf people. Perhaps the' following facte may be helpful enough to warrant a little space; The Volta Bureau, Washington, D. D., founded and endowed by Alexander Bell, is ready at all times to give Informa tion and help. It publishes a magazine which Is helpful. In New York city there Is a league for the hard of hearing, its object being to supply socjal enjoyment as well as employment to ltd members. Recently a similar league has been organised In Chi cago, headquarters at 101 Auditorium Building, Lip reading Is the greatest pos sible boon to the deaf, but It cannot be learned in a day. It requires time, patience and perseverance. It Is with the greatest effort a hundred times over before one suc ceeds. There Is a teacher In a echool in Chi cago who conducts dally classes and speaks four languages, h'lio Is totally deaf, but an oxpert lip reader. There are private teach ers of Up reading In nearly all large cities now j the names may be found In the Volta magazine. The Chicago public schools have night classes In Up rending nil winter. The thing which Is of tho most Importnnco Is to learn nt first to watch tho lips instead of tho eyes of tho speaker. One who will per sist In tho habit will soon learn to read many words. I will gladly answer any letter If a stamped nnd self-addressed envclopo Is sent to me for a roply. KLIJ5ADKTU P.

Tho magazine covers about this tlmo of tho year usually plcturo tho summer girl In all her finery, dressed In tho height of fashion, tho embodiment of all that Is fem inine In tho feminine world. Wo havo got used to seeing her diked out In all her rib bons and laces, with a cheerful disregard for the hour or the occasion. Sho can wear all tho ruffles she wants, and at any tlmo, Just because she's a summer girl ! This amtablo disregard of sartorial con ventions affords plenty of opportunity for the modern girl to show originality In plan ning and making her summer frocks. An other very helpful suggestion Is the fact that washable dresses were never so sim ply trimmed as they are today. There ure plenty of ways to trim a gown, but none of them is overdone. There Is a delightful jilainness of outline all the frills nnu rurbelows you want, nut not too mucn of nny good thing. You mny use two ma terials, or you may use a short Jacket, or a Russian blouse, but tho style and tho ma terials, rather than the trimming, are tho chief claim to distinction. Trimming this season Is supplementary, it undoubtedly enhances, but the success of tho frock docs not depend upon It. Good lines and charming materials, have saved many a frock from oblivion.
