I tofore rnviablo reputation as a shrewd
young man Ills altitude toward the
"soldiers' bonus" question, unfortu

I and a young man of his apparent Intel

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

(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?
To offset the probabilities of caustic
comment concerning my part in "tin
great condlct" and with no Intention of
appearing ogotlstii.il. Just permit me to
cllo the following facts: The wrllei

Were the soldiers to receive the bonus. I
prices of many cominoditloH vvouM lul.e
the upward trend There Is no donlii
that the money will be soent anrt noeni
foolishly. Things that a man should noi
think of buying, under the prrsent-duv
conditions, will he bought. "IttoUo.ss
spending" will be the slogan for manv
thousands
Vow. we must take Into consideration I
tho labor situation True, all of the I
people will not stop working upon n-'
ceipt or tile bonus. However, tin n- u III
be many who will not think of working
until tile entire amount bns been uix.m
The shortage of labor todav la acute
enough but with the cessation of woik
bv n vast army of people conditions win
heiome Intolerable Cotton toduy has
reached a high level, caused bv undei
production. What would prices" go lo If
the voting citizens In tho South refuaid
to work?
We are gradually settling down to a
pre-war basis. A bonus would tend
again to erupt tho aolld fooling that we
me giaduallv obtaining. In fact. It Is
merely the duty of one man to another
lo refuse the extra sum. No. wo cannot

WHAT CAN A MERE MAN DO

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."

EVEN If such mnkrshlfts were po
slblc in the masculine side of thn
world thero would he plenty of men who
couldn't do it because so few of them
know how (o sew. 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. Threads
long enough In reach from Chateau
Thierry io Mctz, blunt fingers mads
mostly of thumbs, ami n needle ns big
as u crowbiir. It was too pathetic. Yet
Hie best tailors nre men. It's just
simply Hint sewing Is n fine nrt with
men itislentl of it pas! lino as It is with
women. It's every hit ns hnrrowlng to
n man to watch n woman hnmmcr'in a
nail or whittle u piece nf wood ns It Is
for her to watch him mend u hole. She
hasn't the one knack tiny more thnn he
has the other.
Home one hits suggested ns n solution
of the mere man's problem Hint ho go
bnck to the toga of the old Roman days.
All he needs Is nuilerinl and the courngn
to appear In it after he drupes it about
him. It would be n great saving, nl-
though it might be dnugeroiis for some
I men on account of the nnturo of their
I work. Vou can imagine nn nutomobile,
I for Instance, holding up traffic by stop-
ping suddenly in (lie middle nf the car
i track.
"What are you trying to do. slop thn
whole IrnflicV yuu can henr the police
man query. And you win just hear the
self-conscious apnlogy of the driver as
lie replied : "Sorry, my toga got caught
nn Ihe emergency brnko nnd I enn't get
it loo&c."
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.
