THF WOMAN WHO LIVED Three years URO last summer a wo inan, parulyzed from (lie back down, dictated a lotter to a city newspaper asking that "the legislature of ber ?tutu puss a law allowing herself and oilier? suffering as much to be put to death to end their misery." Her case lind been declared hope less hy eminent physician?. She wa* a young woman with nothing to look forw.ird to but years upon years of .the death in life she wus undergo ing Tills year, on Thanksgiving Day, she sat up lu bed. able to move tho .upper part of her body, and with hope for further improveme-nt. She expects to be walking in another year or two. Progress will bo slow, but after niuo /ears of helplessness, two or three years devoted to recovery .seems a small matter. The first thing this woman did ,whon she began to grow well was to call up tho physicians who had de clared her case hopeless and beg of them never to tell a patient there was no hope. The little Chicago baby who could never have been a human being was a case lp itself-deuth was undoubted ly merciful there. Dut artificial "euthanasia" is a different thing. So long as wo have apparently hopeless sufferers on our hands, so long will ovory effort bo made to discover cures for hitherto incurable condi tions. They arc a spur to medical research. And to Bay that a case is Incurable becauso nono Uko it lins been cured .before reminds one a little of that patent office clerk who In 1833 re signed hts job because, sinco every thing hid been invented, he folt sure tho patent office was destined to go out of exlstenco very soon. I It doesn't pay to sit back and say ?"This cannot ho done because lt never has boen done." * Discoverers in all lines have just begun to scratch the surface of humun possibility. CONSERVATION AND DEFENSE Tho pr?sident of the National Con servation Association insists that any form of "preparedness" that doesn't tako account of conservation is one sided and illogical, that conserva tion of our resourcoo and measures Ifor our national defenso should go hand In hand. j Therefore, ho says, "we are going to . urgo at the coming seBBlon ot con . gross a .bill for, developing1 water ( powers on the public lands and in i (the national forests; o: bill for tho I development of the government-own I ed coal, bil and phosphate lands; a bill for tho development of water power on navigable streams; and a bill for restoring and devo.oping tho meat-producing capacity of 300,000,- ' 000 acres of public range." These bills may not get much of a hearing. But why shouldn't they? ? Io the craso for army and navy de~ I velopmcnt going to drive out of the ' mind of congress and the public all the flue program of internal develop ment that has been, taking shape in recent years? . . These things will COBt money; arid much money ls going to- be needed for the defense measures. But there's a I basic dlsUuctlon that shouldn't .be overlooked. Internal improvements create values and pay for th?"rr0ives, while expenditures for - ament aro unproductive. It's the difference be tween putting money into, a profitable investment and paying it for fire in surance. We muBt have the insur ance; but why not the investment, too? t Germany, the most military of na tions, developed her army and her economic resources together. It is tb' resulting1 double preparednesa f -it hus enabled her to stand Uko a r. dc in the present war. NO SLUMP FOR V, 8. j r i i Says a French industrial expert: "Wo will be working for the next twenty years to pay what we owe." It will take years, he explains, for the. French manufacturing plants, how converted to the manufacture of munitions, to return to their original ,uses and restore French industry and commerce to their former status. j There will be ruins to he swept away, desolated soil to be restored to fer tility, railroads and mines , and manu factures to bo rebuilt? And there'will be far tower men for tbc work of're construct ion. It will be the same In all the war ring countries,! Those that havo not * suffered, from invasion will have few er ruins to clear away, and replace, but everywhere there will berthe rie ccsslty for slow, hard and expen sive re-adjustment of industry '.rind commerce and the whole national life. . r,,.\ . ? 1 And; In this process, Europe will j-cali on us moro ?bari ev^,;;}h?:o?p?rts , say, for machi ncr? and capital. for j locomotives and cars .and . rails, foi* Men's Suits There is no better w.r cheer than to give hin The suits you'll he si after a careful study They're the acme of ? fit gives a style seldoi cities.

There will be no serious IOSB of export trade when the war ends. There may oven be a steady continuance for two or three years at our present vast volume of foreign business, with munitions giving place to peaceful products. And according to this view, we shall not need to lear for some time either the competition of foreign goods or a fresh wave of Immigrant labor. CHEER UPI Theso aro dark days for the world. The shadow of the war is heavier than ever ea ail hearts, whatever their sympathies. There ts little ex ultation now eveo in victorien, for we -know at what a price of blood and pain every victory is won.. ? J Rut there are many things besides war in the world.

' Herc,-in our Amerlciin isolation* we pan live1 eut our lives in spite of-wars ann rumora of wars. There ts' need, to be sure, of taking thought: for the future, preparing against the time when war may bring heme to ns the wretchedness that we hnew halt ? century ago and that Europe knows today.

It is right and proper-that,we should feel the WOBB ot Europe, and it is our duty to alleviate them all we can.

The I amount voted is not ST^ti^^0^ first installment, which became -avallabia last July, amounted to only $480,000. And yet, to the surprise ot those in terested in the measuro; ? every state In the union has taken advantage of the opportunity.

For tho coming year there will be 9600,000 available from the federal fund, and by 1922 there will be 19,000,000 appropriated every year. And from tbe present Indications, the states will use up every dollar of it. It goes without saying that thia ls one of the most valuable economic pur po 3 u 3 for which tho government could spend money. There'ls prob ably no other field in which a dollar can' bring such biff returns in private prosperity and national resources. Ont of a national expenditure of a billion dollars a year, the suma voted tor this object seem trivial indeed. - THE TIME FOB PREPARED >. +4 ?*****?*??*#*????*?>* Saa;ue> ??krmeysr,: of'^?wftforfc, jin on address ;on national issue? de livered In New - Yorky gavd A .variation to tba discussion ' ot prept?reined against war by advancing the opinion that ?ho United States ?ip?ld.walt to see what the condition ot tho present belligerents would bc after their great conflict befor? determining its mili tary polioy..

There is ho greater fallacy than the belief that a nation - emerging from war, unless it be completely crushed, is incapable or indisposed to new mili tary entorprise. It 1B not until its wounds are stiff and Its passions cool ed from the conflict it I'jas come out of that a country realizes the returned, delights of peace and ls willing to make sacrifices' to keep them. With armies hardened to war and'trained I by a Jens service, a nation is peculiar- j1 ly confident and assertive,, as lt turns j from the fields of battle, but has not yet Bettled back to its' ease.
