XXVI. No 34. WANT COLORED NURSING FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS Editor Moore Says American "Passing the Buck" to the When Colored Nurse Sent to the New York, May 14.—More than 2,000 young colored women, as well as many others, attended a monster patriotic meeting at the Lafayette Theatre Sunday, when a movement was launched to have colored nurses sent to France to look after the sick and wounded colored soldiers with the American expeditionary forces. The big audience applauded Attorney George Battle, Fred R. Moore, publisher of the New York Age, and chairman of the meeting, as they made strong pleas for the sending of colored nurses. "I have every reason to know that the trained colored nurse is as competent as any nurse in the world," said Mr. Battle, who said he had been reared by a colored foster-mother. He asked the colored women to participate more actively in war work, thus doing their share in aiding their men who are now in France or about to go over. Mr. Moore spoke of the courage of the Negro regiment, the 15th New York Infantry, now the 362th, somewhere in France. "Looking at their bravery, and not their color, the French have received them with open arms," he said. "We are second to no part of our population in loyalty. But, speaking as an American black, say we are not being treated by the wounded in the hospitals. They are no longer content to stay here, and the American Red Cross must stop 'passing the Wilmington, Del., May 16—The one hundred and third annual session of the Philadelphia A. M. E. Conference opened at Bethel A. M. E. Church Thursday morning with Bishop John Hurst, of Baltimore, presiding in the place of Bishop Evans Terry, who has not been in a state physical condition since his illness of newborn age. Rev. Dr. Henry Y.nett is the entertaining pastor. The session will prominely close this Sunday night, the shortness of the gathering beeing due to war conditions. Following the opening exercises, Conference officers were elected. Reports received from various churches showed increases along all lines, some of which were due to the great migration from the South during the past eighteen months. Rev. K. J. Williams reported that Bethel Church, Philadelphia, had 1,274 accessions during the past year and had raised $1,000 in "dollar money." He also reported 223 conversions. A number of those who joined his congregation had transferred to Bethel Church; Bethel Church, this city, Allen, Philadelphia; Union, Philadelphia; Bethel, Harrisburg, Murphy's, Chester, Pa., were among those making good reports. . Rev. W. H. Davis, presiding elder of the Philadelphia District; Elijah Eyrd of the West Philadelphia District; W. B. Williams, of the Harrisburg District; and L. H. Ringgold, of the Wilmington District, made good reports. The Conference branch of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society, at its meeting, made reports indicating a good year's work. Bishop Hurst is expected to preach Sunday morning after which deacons and elders will be ordained. While but few changes are expected there may be some shifting around caused by ministers having filled their present positions four and one-half years, just six months short of the time limit. STEPTEAU ADDRESSES Clarksburg, W. Va., May 14.—Church workers of various denominations, white and colored, attended the annual session of the West Virginia Sunday School Convention, held here on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, of last week. Big meetings were held simultaneously in three white churches. Rev. C. H. Steppean, of Baltimore, was one of the principal speakers. NEW MONDAY, M buck' to the War Department whenever our nurses ask to be sent to the front. "We want the best white women and men to tell the American Red Cross that the millions of colored sympathizers with the United States in the war are not satisfied with the treatment of our trained colored nurses. We don't want a black Red Cross, but a universal Red Cross, with every vestige of the old Southern anticolor prejudices wiped out, and with nothing else required from its workers but ability, respectability and character." The speakers' arguments were strengthened by the presence in the audience by a squad of colored Red Cross workers and by the members of the senior class of nurses from Lincoln Hospital. The rally was held under the auspices of the Girls' Patriotic Service League, which is a division of the New York War Camp Community Service. It is the first of a series of meetings being arranged for girls and women throughout greater New York. Mrs. Addie, Hunton, of the colored Y. W. C.

Ransom, of New York, editor of the A. M. E. Review. He urged the Negro to be patriotic and to do well in the world struggle for world-wild democracy, he urged the race not to be cowardly, but to fight with the zeal and patriotism against the race discrimination, segregation and other forms of Jim-crowism as we are fighting the Germans. In blinding the graduates farewell, President G. A. Edwards said: "Remember that you belong to a race of whom you can justly feel proud; a race which has never produced an unethic, traitor or a person mean enough to wield the assassin's weapon. We urge you to respond heartily to your country's call and do your best in helping make the world safe for democracy, a democracy which knows no color. Do your best to hasten the day when jealousy, prejudice and hate shall cease, a day when right reign supreme and when wrong will be preserved.

Y., May 14—Charles Satchle Morris, Jr., the famous young orator, added another victory to his series of oratorical triumphs at "Wilson Memorial Academy," Nyack-on-Hudson, last Saturday evening.

Mr. Morris held the vast audience of white people, that packed the oratorium, speecked by minute eloquence.

TO TRAIN FOR ARTILLERY WORK TO TRAIN FOR ARTILLERY WORK Infantry Officers Go To Camp Meade to Receive Instruction in That Branch of the Service Campe Meade, Md., May 16—In the training school for officers, which is now in operation, colored commissioned officers will receive instruction for artillery service. This is especially gratifying to many of the officers who have fine mathematical and other training as they petitioned in vain for such instruction while attending the Officers' Training School at Fort Des Moines last summer. Gen. C. C. Ballon, who had charge of the school is said to have recommended to the War Department that the men at Fort Des Moines be only trained for infantry service. As a result, when the colored drafteres went to the various cantonments those assigned to the artillery were officered by whites. The War Department, however, has removed the restriction on May 1 ordered the following lieutenants to proceed from Camp Dk, New Jersey to Camp Meade for instruction in order to qualify them as artillery officers: 44th Field Artillery. First Lieutenants: Henry Morrow, Walter A. Jenkins, Charnese O. Hirson, Russell Smith, Thomas N. Gregory, James A. Gordon, John H. Simms, Joseph H. Scott, Towson S. Crusty, Robert M.

LYON SPEAKS Dr. Ernest Lyon addressed the upper-grade pupils of the Dunbar School Caroline and Jefferson streets, Wednesday, his subject being, "The Organization and Work of the Red Cross." Dr. Lyon spoke most interestingly, and held the pupils' attention from the beginning to the end. As it was Red Cross Day in schools and colleges, the address was most timely. The children were given a vivid picture of the Red Cross on the battlefield and elsewhere: they were told what the present campaign means, and were urged to take the information to their homes and spread it among their parents and neighbors.

Do not rest until you have done your best to help raise this fund which will help to stretch a "network of mercy through a sea of pain." To each Red Cross member this comes as a personal appeal for your earnest co-operation in these three vitally important parts of the campaign: FIRST: RED CROSS—WHITE STAR WINDOW CARDS See to it that every house in your row, without a single exception, buys from the nearest drug stors and displays this window card before Red Cross Sunday morning, May 19, 1918. See to it that not a single man, woman, boy or girl among your friends walks the streets during the campaign without this campaign button. One button goes with each five dollar window card; additional buttons from drug stores for two dollars each. THIRD: SUBSCRIPTION PLEDGE CARDS In addition, help your country care for the soldiers and win the war by pledging a liberal contribution to the Second War Fund. You can't go to the first line trenches yourself—take your stand in the second line trench and help those who have gone or are going. Every dollar you give goes direct to relieve suffering caused by the war. In signing your pledge cards be sure to definitely designate the Colored Branch, so that the aggregation may show the united response of the colored people of our community to this great appeal to humanity.

COMMENCEMENT PATRIOTISM An appeal to prospective college and schoo’ gt" ~conduet their 1918 graduation exercises as simply as possible and invest the money usually spent on clothes, invitations and Ginnors in War Savings Stamps has been sent to all institu- tions of learning in the United States by P. P. Claxton, United| States Commissioner of Eductaion. Dr. Claxton estimates that 800,000 boys and gitls, young women and young men will be graduated from the high and _normal schools and colleges, and 1,300,000 from the elemen- tary or grammar schools. If each of the 300,000 should! spend unnecessarily $10, a slight estimate on graduation ox: sreises, costumes, invitations, auto hire, dances, dinners ete. the total will amount to $3,000,000. Ii in addition just half of the graduates from the elementary schools should spend tnnecessarily an average of only $5, this would amount also to something more than $3,000,000, making a total of $6,000,- (000, which is not an unreasonable estimate. | At Howard University commencement last week the) graduates of the professional departments discarded the academic dress and received their degrees in their everyday | garb. ‘The saving in this one case was moxe than $1,500. A similar saving might be effected in the graduation exercises of the high and normal. schools if it be commonly agreed that the same dress shall be used for class day and commencement, and that the men shall wear informal dress. | With the informal dress, why not also adopt the slogan of “walk to commencement.” Very few persons live at such tlistances that this is impossible, While it is appreciated that the boy or girl who successfully completes 12 years of school- ing deserves a fitting celebration and ceremony at his gradu- ation, yet the seriousness of the times demands a curtailment of unnecessary, activities. In the interest of true patriotism, buy your graduate a liberty bond or War Savings Slamps and cut the frills. Except in’ several rare instances, colored people are nov allowed to have well paying jobs with contractors doing gov- ernment war work. The other day a carpenter working with the Turner Construction Company near the Maryland District Line was discharged because his assistant reported that he was colored, Carpenters receive $5.50 per day and assist- ants $3.85. The assistant had been sent to the carpenter's house on an errand and coming back, reported to the foreman that the carpenter had a colored wife. Colored men are not allowed to receive commissions in the navy of the United States, Gunner’s mate is the highest office that Secretary Daniel’s Department will permit. Two weeks ago an ensign in the navy retumed home after fourteen years absence and mairied the little colored. girl he used to go to school with. ‘The Navy officials know him as white, if they have thot of it at all. The War Department has a $110 clerk on the rolls who spent several months recently in Cuba before receiving ap- pointment. No other colored persons can obtain employment “in this particular section, which is lily white. This clerk is listed as Cuban, altho she makes no pretensions of being uny- thing that she isn’t. Such incidents might be multiplied by, the hundreds in the knowledge of every colored person. Whites are getting so tanned, and colored persons so fair, that people may change their identity more easily and as effectively as Dr. Jekyl and Dr. Hyde. One of these days an American Voltaire will arise who will laugh His Holines Pope Prejudice off the throne. 7 : ANOTHER VICTORY FOR URBAN LEAGUE : The appointment of Dr. George E. Haynes as director of! Economics of the Department of Labor is the necessary com- plement of the appointment of Mr. Emmet J. Scott to the War Départment, and is likely to be the first step toward placing assistants to cabinet officers in other departments of the na- tional government. The Bureau of Education, where Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, a white educator, has charge of the work among colored schools, and the Department of Agricul- ture -will also put in colored assistants as soon as the colored people make it plain that a colored man in indispensable and these appointments will continue after the war, providing the appointees make good, Of this there is no doubt in the minds of those who have ‘an acquaintance with Dr. Haynes and Mr. Seott. The former was one of the active promoters and first Director of the Na- tional League for the Improvement: “df. Urban Conditions ‘Among Negroes. He is the author of several studies on the life of Negroes in. cities, and was one of the educational ex- perts engaged by. the’General.Edueation Board to look into the work of Hampton Institute. The success of the League in fifteen or more-large cities of the country is due in large meas- sure''to the fact that Dr. Haynes found men like Mr. Eugene “Kincle-Jones ‘and others to. carry. on ‘the-work. e: he attitude of oreaniz2 labor toward the’ Negro, the aU oar ee reno ee nace We Ee tet wa ha theemiprats PAGE 4 A VOLTAIRE WANTED ——— ing colored workman, the importation of colored workers from Porta Rica labor conditions in Cuba, Porta Rica and our other island possessions and a hundved other questions affeet- ing the colored people of the county will now come before the assistant in the Department of Labor for recommendation and suggestion. This is manifestly a step forward, and the result is largely due to the influence the Urban League and its friends were able to wield. Tt SESE too late to ask the question again, how about a branch of the Urban League in Baltimore.

THE WAY OF THE SOUTH ™ 7 A writer in the New Orleans Times Picayune suggests that Americans quit sniveliing about their bit and begin to make up their minds to do their damndest. In this some Louisana town groups of masked men,—Ku_ Klus, night riders and terrorizers—rode thru the city in the broad day light and warned slackers to go to work or violence would be done to them. Here is another example of the working of the Southerne:’s mind. In Maryland, the legisla- ture disposed of slackers by passing a law punishing with fine or imprisonment all who have uot some daily occupation. Quietly and effectively the law has been enforced almost a year, and very few people are aware of its operation. In the South the force and majesty of the law is not sensational and violent enough, and so we are treated to the spectacle of the Ku Klux frightening slackers to work. ~ poses A big burly white yeoman pulled a much smaller colored passenger out of his seat in the street car the other day, and offered the place to a White woman. In Washington the week before avery short colored man knocked down a big white Virginian fox pushing a colored woman aside in order to enter te street cur. ips incidents indicate, that all of the war is not being waged dn the Western front. ‘As we have said before, we are in this war just as much as anyone else. We will be just as much affected by its re- suits, (perhaps more) as any one else. It, therefore, be- hooves us to take just as much interest in all that goes on, in every department, as all other people are doing. If we have not leamed it , it is not too late to begin to learn now. ‘We have done some few things but not nearly as much as we should have done, largely because of our lack of concute organization, Organizations we have but it seems they lack initiative and interest. In many instances we start too late, and as a resuit we do, not accomplish as much as we might. — We are fully aware that we cannot give our thousands and hundreds of thousands like our white friends, but we can give our littles and in the end our littites will amount to some- thing substantial. ‘The Red Cross drive 1s on and while we have no effective organization, a great deal can be done everybody doing as much as they can, Upwards of a hundred thousand or more of our boys are getting ready to go “over there” and a large number of them are already “over there” and we owe it to them to do our very best in making our contributions to the Red Cross and other funds; so that they will feel that whatever comforts received from these agencies by the other boys are also theirs by right, because we have made our contributions the same as others. lf we are slackers, they cannot expect nor demand the same services others receive, and consequently the morale will be lowered because of the fact*that they feel that those left behind have not supported them as they ought to have done. It is therefore indispensible for us to do our duty and show our “Boys” we are behind them to the full strength of our ability. Do not wait to be solicited. Step up at once and be counted. ‘TSI NURSERY CAMPAIGN IS ON | What will you do toward eloing this worthy charity? ‘The children must be eared for and we must do It, ‘The Intelligence of a race is juds- ‘ed by the interest taken in its aged and young.

WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS REV. WILLIAM H. WEAVER, 0. D., Contributing, Editor Nearly $1,000 in Cash Raised — in Big Y. M. C. A. Meeting ARCHBISHOP’ GLENNON SAXS COLORED PEOUTE PREPER WHITE CILURCILES. The St. Louis Post Dispatch in a recent issue reports tnat Arelbishop Glennon, the heud of the Catholic do- cole of St. Louis, gives it as his epin- Jon that “the colored folks don't Wke their own chureh, ‘They would rith- er mix in the white congregations.” "Phis with other observations made by the arehishop, were exlled forth by a demand made upon the head of the diveese by & colored organization of the city of St. Louis, Mo, to un- frock Father ‘T.

For others who do not know the truth and are suffering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of flesh. Our own physician Dr. Mace attended me for some time, and I asked to the John Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Bayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as anywhere else.

I went to him in company with my sister, weighing less than 96 lbs. He examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Base Treatment, and I started to change for the third time. I lived, and on November 17, 1917, I weighed and tipped the scale at 148 lbs. No one will believe now that I ever was sick in my life.

MARY ROSS DORSEY Some who came to hear Mrs. Dorsey at Sharp Street Church on May 9th expected, perhaps, to hear a sort of "school-girl recitation" performance. But instead they met drama—dramma done by one person—one person with many souls, one person who can people the stage with characters. Mrs. Dorsey can successfully represent several characters present together on the stage, and you see them and hear each speak in his turn. And the way in which she did it: Not like the star of the "Friday afternoon school Library" rattling off: "Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime," etc, but with true tragic and comic art, where the body as well as the tongue speaks. Her facial expressions were perfect, and her voice followed her soul in differentiating the various characters. "The Roman Confessional" and the scenes from "Everywoman" could not have been more effectively done if every character had been represented by a different actor. Mary Ross Dorsey is mistress of all these arts. Her performance was the finest thing of the kind which Baltimore has seen. Mr. Howard M. Gross was good in "Damon and Lyths" and Mrs. William Pickens, in her songs gave satisfaction. NEW JERSEY CONFERENCE CLOSES Orange, N. J., May 14—The annual session of the New Jersey A. M. E.

S. -Margaret Black's Corner- USES FOR WORN OUT HOSE DON'T CLOSE THE SCHOOLS ERIL. 7. MAY 17, 1918. To economize means not only careful buying but in utilizing every part of the food purchased. Too often enough material is discarded to form the major portion of a good meal, simply because the housekeeper does not know how to use the left-overs. Results are more easily accomplished with meats than with vegetables, desserts, breads, or meats that may be minced or only季般, served as a meal or in many other ways, and even the very smallest fragments may be used to an advantage in the soup kettle or stock-pot. A spoonful or two of tomatoes, a saucer of beans, one or two ears of corn or a few cold potatoes present a very serious problem. Some of however, may be used in salad, or perhaps in fritters or omelet so that their second appearance may be even more appetizing than when first served. Take for instance left over corn. Slash the rows with a sharp knife then take the back of the knife, press out the pulp, and add to it one egg, half a cup of milk and a finely minced red or green pepper. Season lightly and lake the season in two or three rinklings just long enough to set the egg. If desired a brownieread bread crumbs may be sprinkled over the top before baking. The sauce of baked beans, not enough to serve again at the family meal may be advantageously disposed of in the making of bean soup; or or they can be added to that cup of cold mashed potatoes after being put through the potato rice and the yelk of an egg added to the pulp rolled in bread crumbs and fried like ordinary potato cakes; or run through the meat grinder and mix with the ground meat, roll into little balls and fry or mix with the yelk of an egg, a little gravy will answer the same purpose if you do not happen to have an egg-put in a shallow pan and bake. State bread cut into inch squares and browned are excellent for soups. Dried out in the oven or warmer and either crushed with the rolling pin or passed thru the food chopper, it can be used for making puddings, croquettes, griddle cakes and so on. If the bread is in good slices, it may be made in French toast by moistening with beaten egg and milk, then frying in a little butter substitute. A spoonful of jam or jelly placed on each slice and it can be served as a dessert. What do you do with the legs of your worn out hose- They may be spun into yarn and made into conservation slippers and mats and lots of other useful things. If the child wants to help give it something to do, and while teaching it to knit it can be making something useful for itself. Cut off the hem or rib top and cut them round into one long strip about three-fourths of an inch wide down to the heel. Roll the ends and sew together neatly. Spin into yarn by drawing it firmly over the sharp edge of a wood box. It will curl up round and smooth like yarn. Then crochet it into rugs, slippers and cushions. Silk hose makes very pretty slippers by finishing the top with some of the brighter colors. Cotton hose makes nice rugs that are durable and heavy and lie flat. Cotton or wool make good holders for handling irons and pots around the store and will save burned fingers. Cut off foot, fold square and work edge* with a buttonhole stitch with some bright color yarn or saffolk and fasten a ring in one corner. They also make excellent dust rags. Cut off the feet and whip the legs together, laying them one top to the other bottom. They gather the dust much better than a cloth and are more easily washed. Cotton ones make good mops. Cut off the feet and run as many legs of them thru the mop as you like. They hold lots of water, they ring very dry. They are excellent for sleeve protectors. Cut off the feet to the length desired hem and slip over the sleeve and save washing. Use them for hotting the broom straws together and make your broom last twice as long. Cut off the feet and slip the leg over the handle of the broom as you wish. It should be far enough over the broom to keep the straw from spreading too wide. LINGERIE DRESSES REVIVED If you are wondering how to make that volue or organdy dress then use this hint. Lingerie cresses, are trimmed with wide bands of embroidery and val lace insertions. They are being shown in high class summer dress, but have not made their appearance yet in the medium priced merchandise. CALENDARS If a calendar seems too pretty to destroy place a piece of sand-paper over it and pad and use as a cloth scraper. The scraper will not come uniss in each room. A HINT TO HUB When meals are slim don't mention it Your wife, no doubt, as woman should Is trying hard to do her bit By saving what she can on food. Just shut your eyes and Hooverize. Take what is served nor criticise She's saving fats, and family spats Will hardly help the enterprise. The slogan was to "Buy a bale!" But now it's "Save a loaf!" instead. And worthy husbands will not fail To praise their helpmeets' burdock bread. So shut your eyes and Hooverize. Long not for颁ained cakes and plops. Long may she wave who seeks to save! A good luncheon dish may be served from left over tomatoes, either canned or fresh, by stewing until thick with a little onion, chopped green pepper or both; then thicken, using a teaspoonful of corn starch to a cupful of tomato. If too thick add a little milk. Pour over slice of toast sprinkle with grated cheese just before serving. A left over fried or boiled egg can then be used to an advantage. The egg it soft cooked, should be placed in boiling water and cooked until hard when it can be made to do duty as creamed egg or golden rod egg for luncheon for the one person who frequently is served alone at the noon meal. Cold cereals such as rice, hominy or any of the flaked breakfast foods if not wanted for griddle cakes or bread of any kind, as they are excellent in either light bread, corn bread or muffins with the flour, may have an egg beaten into it, flavoring and sweetening added to taste together with a little milk. The mixture should then be baked in little individual pudding dishes and served with a garnish of whipped cream or stewed or canned fruit, here again using a spoonful or two which may have been left from last night's dinner. This left over fruit cold also be made into an excellent dessert by passing it thru a sieve, a little water added to make extra juice and the whole suffered with gelatine or jelly powder. Cream has a wonderful food value and should be used a great deal more than it is, as it helps to make an attractive dessert from what would otherwise be considered plain phear, and when used judiciously, is not by any means an extravagance. If a little of it should turn sour keep it to enrich the next batch of griddle cakes or muffins. The sour cream also makes an excellent dressing for lettuce. Whipped with a small quantity of vinegar a pinch of salt a little pepper and a tastespoonful of sugar until light and foamy, the lettuce cut and stirred into the mixture it makes an appetizing dish. It will decrease proportionately the quantity of butter required; or better still, it may be beaten with an egg beater and made into one or two little pats of butter which are sure to be appreciated if only for the sake of variety and because it was made at home. "Don't close the schools; use them to maximum capacity," says Secretary of the Interior Lane in approving a statement just issued by the Bureau of Education of his Department, wherein is presented the Government's need of the schools in war time as seen by those in Washington charged with the conduct of the war. The statement says: "The entire spirit of the Administration in Washington is, and has been from the beginning, that the war should in no way be used as an executive grant of the country and less education, in quantity or quality, than they otherwise would have had. Both the present demands of the war emergency and the prospective demands of the necessary readjustments inevitably to follow emphasize the need of providing in full measure for the education of all the people." Regarding elementary schools, the statement says: "There appears to be nothing in the present or prospective war emergency to justify curtailment in any respect of the sessions of the elementary schools, or of the education of boys and girls under 14 years of age, and nothing which should serve as an excuse for interference with the progressive development of the school system. Teachers and pupils should be encouraged to find ways of performing in the schools some service having war value, such as activities connected with the Junior Red Cross, War Garden Work, Boy Scouts, War Garden Work, and the Opportunities School would be forced to introduce into the school activities having real educational value, which at the same time link up the public schools with the ideals of service and self-sacrifice actuating our people, and bring home to the consciousness of teachers, pupils, and parents the essential unity of the nation in this great crisis." As to the Government's need of high school students, Secretary Baker and Daniels point out that "the Army and Navy do not want, and can not use, boys under 15 years of age, nor boys nor men of any age who are not strong and well-developed physically. So far as the the Army and Navy are concerned, there is nothing more important that the schools can do than to keep going at full capacity, and at the same time to emphasize in every possible way their work in physical education. High school boys will render the best service of which they are capable by remaining in school until completion of the high school course." Agricultural labor is emphasized as the most immediate possibility for high school boys. "It can not be too strongly urged, however," says the statement, "that case: pupil's case should be considered individually and that no pupils be excused from school for this purpose, except with the written consent of the parents, to accept specified employment for a definite term under responsible supervision by the school or by other approved agencies of the conditions of employment." Civil Service officials are equally emphatic in their statement that nothing can be gained by shutting down the schools or by curtailing school facilities, but they suggest that, since civil service positions have been filled by drawing workers from com- mercial and industrial houses, and also by drawing teachers from the schools, the schools could undoubtedly render a much needed service by organizing classes to train stenographers, typewriters, clerks, and secretaries." Regarding the need in industry, Government officials maintain that no emergency exists which justifies any relaxation of the laws safeguarding the working conditions of our young people. The official statement points out that there are serious shortages in industry already and more are anticipated, but "boys and girls under 18 years of age should not be used to make up these shortages any more than can possibly be helped. It is easier to provide approval working conditions on the farms than in the mill or factory." If You Have a Friend Worth Loving Love Him and Let Him Loving If you have a friend worth loving, Love him. Yes, and let him know That you love him, ere life's evening Tinge his brow with sunset glow. Why should good words never be said Of a friend—till he be your friend. Wait deserved praises long, Why should one who trolls your heart Lack the joy you may impart? How can you Why should not your brother share The strength of "two or three" in prayer? If you see the hot tears falling From a brother's weeping eyes. Share them; and by kindly sharing Own your kinship with the skies. Why should anyone be glad When a brother's heart is sad? If a silvery laugh gives ripping Through the sunshine on his face, Share it. 'Tis the wise man's saying: For both grief and joy a place. There's health and goodness in the mirth In which all honest laugh has birth. If your work is made more easy By a friendly, helping hand, Say so, Speak out brave and truly, Ere the darkness yell the land, Should a brother workman dear Falter for a word of anger? Salter then your words of kindness Scatter thus your seeds of kindness. All enriching as you go— Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver He will make each seed to grow. So until its happy end, Your life shall never lack a friend. —Eoston Transcript WHAT DID SHE DO?

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT AIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinode is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing it to become thick of hair. Quinode is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes thir- hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasapo. Quinasapo is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasapo lathers very freely. It leaves the hairsoft and duffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scap unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any subunitate, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasapo, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.
