I and a young man of his apparent Intel ' llgencn should think, and think dceplv, before he endeavors lo speak the minds of 60 per rent of the A K. V or the entire American nrmv. A chosen few have found their way into print with, to the uninitiated sup 1 posedly sound nnd plausible arguments 1 against granting a "soldier's bonus." I Why not view the matter honestly. In I telllgentlv and consider the entire per sonnel of the service men. Instead of l those fe to whom two years from their lives meant no monetary loss. . statistics tell us that the average nge ' of the service men was twenty-five yean? Do these critics honestly believe that men of that age and with average in , tellleence would snuandnr their portion of the bonus foolishly and with uo other desire than to rid themselves of the nionev? A verv small minority would undoubtedly quickly find ways and means to nttract their new -found wealth Put It is not very hard to plc tuie the average service man quietly In vesting his inoiit-v to thn proper ad vantage. To some It might mean the culmination of a dream long planned, but withheld because of lack of funds. To others It might be the means of satis fying that desire to enter on a busi ness career, be It ever so small Surely tho number of married men in the serv ice would not be expected to laslilv spend what would be lo them a small fortune Is Uneasy Carter grow ltd me to wntih ''hnt girl needs some er nnd Piill can do I h it.

(T11 lie ('on(liitied) Think honestly Puck rrlvnte, and other ci'ltlui of the "bonus bill" look beyond your own good selves. Think of the vnst number lo whom It would be a great benefit rather than tho few who, regardless of any ovent, would reck lessly spend any new-found wealth. Wot e the majority of service men wealthy or even men of means, the bonus question would never have been raised. But why Is It unreasonable to expect Bomo remuneration for those two years or less that wore taken out of our lives? Civilian workers had the op portunity during tho time that we were otherwise employed to lay aside a neat sum to offset present conditions. Through Inflated wages, bonuses and prizes they accumulated a sum greatly In excess of the proposed "soldier bonus." Present conditions were not caused by the millions of service men returned to civilian life. These conditions existed before the first man received his dis charge. Upon what do the critics base their cynical charges? Is It to be sup posed that theso selfsame critics would suffer a great personal loss were the bonus to bo granted? Doc tho Utick Private honestly believe that ho is voicing the opinion of CO per cont of the service men?

He Can't. Combine Two Old Suits to Make One as a Woman Can, and He Wouldn't Be Able to Do the Sewing, Anyhow V, hnve been seekinir count rlclils. cnuat advan tages nnd equnl recognition with men. They almost liuve tliein. . Rut now tho shoo seeths to be on the other foot. Women hnve It nil over men nowadays In the matter of cutting down the high cost of living. They can nuikc their own clothes. A man recently set forth his lament in public. "I believe in suffrage nntl equal rights, but whnt ran n mere mnii do? A girl enn make a ?-" hat for $1; a dress that looks like STo for $'J(I. and the most striking-looking evening gowns ror almost nothing. Hut what enn n mere man do?" Poor things! It's n terrible situation. A woinmi buys n suit or dress for "best," nnd then looks over her wnrd robe. "1ot tun see," she ponders. "I enn take that last year'M suit nnd make It into a nice dress by using that geor gette crepe waist for the sleeves and tho underarm pieces. Then I can pul a vest of the georgette here nnd take nut that plnee where I splashed that Ink right l(i front," nud so on. The result will be a dress tlint she can wear, nr.il wear and wear until she wishes she had never pondered over II. With n innn, now. thnl's different, lie can't go to his wardrobe nnd say thoughtfully, "Now tho coat of Unit plain blue suit Is still good, so I enn use tlint and get some blue nnd green plaid trousers to go with it." That wouldn't do nt nil. And he enn't comblno tlm i coat and trousers nf an old suit nnd nuikc a perfectly good pair of overalls t because it "isn't done." Adventures With a Purse THERE are times blue days, when nothing is right that the Ad ventures become somewhat of a prob lem, and the question arises, "Doesnny body enro about them anyhow?" for getting, for the moment, jour many calls nnd inquiries.

Of nil tho horrors of the wnr, perhaps (he due tlint ex cited Ihe greatest amount of amuse ment, sympathy nnd pity on the part of women wns the Iden of millions of men sewing on their own buttons.

Personally I should think that a mere man would rnther study tho art of tulloring nnd "roll his own' I think it is quite safe to predict, though, that he will just go right on envyintf women for their ability to economize, pitying himself for not being able to do it, and admiring both for those very reasons.
