THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.
It is impossible to appreciate fully

in the years to oonie this month of
!klatch, 1917, will be known as one of
the great landmarks of world history.

Allies, as shown both in France and in
Siesoputanda, and the virtual decision
of the United States. Government to
enter the War. are events great in

NVestern Ontario municipalitiee are
b.-oming interested W the project for
a gteat Provincial highway from Tor-
onto to Windsor. One suggestion is
that the route should be by way of
Guelph, Kitchener,, Stratford, St.
Marys and Londoo, but a more south-
erly route may be considered advis-
able. The Board of Trade of Kitchener
has arranged for a conference of
municipal representatives to be held
in that cite today to support the ad-
vswacy of Che northerly route. While
Goderich is not directly -concerned, It.
would be to the interests of th's town
to have the highway as near as pos-
sible, and no doubt any influence
Goderich cau exert will be placed iu
favor uf the Prue! via Stratford.

THE CLOTHES •
OF WOMEN.
Men wbo are reasonable enough i
every other rsepect are sure to
critias of womea's clothe*. It is
week nese that never can be overcome.
The trouble is that they are wool' to
consider otart tone in the light of rea-
son. They hogin with two (aloe as-
sumption*, first, that women are an-
xious to be worm ; 'second, that they
desire to look well. Men may strive
for warmth sod att r tett Yentas, bot it
duos not follow that women will do 111,.
1.e. The truth is that a woman ir
afraid of being warm and would
rather be fesbioneble than pleaeitig.
It may be Peen therefore how futile
is the criticiser of • captious man.
Hie pi ocedure may be outlined as fol-
low.: He ewes a girl with • 'nil cold.
He petres-es that she is weaning a
spring coat, weighing perhapa three
ounces. He sees her straw hat. He
toniceg when she removes ben. coat
that the sleeves of her waist are made
of transparent ninon, and that behind
its diapbany ninthing hilt • pluuip area
is visible. Furthermore, be racer -
tains that rubbers at e never worn with
kid shoes. immediately he (inns to
that young W011114,11 and stiy• : -You
have a cold ? No wonder! 111 went
around with m ninon cost, no waist-
coat and a sleevelet, shirt, I would
have • cold, too, and serce Inc right."
But "peering along to the next
enure" (es the eide-rhow barker would
say, be discerns another young wo-
man similarly dressed. She is so
healthy that istre has not couithed since
she was a little girl, and the attributes
her valetudinous state to the fact that
wool alweyr tickles her dennetological
integument. Therefore she ban al-
ways worn coitus), even in
weather. But the captious man neg-
lect.. this core. He admits that the git I
is healthy, but he stripper's a special
interposition of Providence on her
behalf. " 'Tain't reasoneble." be save,
"that woyone ran go about in this
weather without enough clothes to
flag a train-, and retain her health. '
Of course it is not reasonable, but that
proves nothing at all.
In like manner, captious man, with
otie arm extended in indignatt pi ti-
tan, points to .bort skit ts. silken hose
and (outlet) bats. Be says : "Don't
