Hundreds of Cars Are Moved to Re- lieve Coal Shortage. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. — Hun- dreds of coal cars released from yards where they have been stalled behind shipments of-higher prefer- ential ratings were removed ‘over Eastern roads today to relieve the acute coal shortage in the North- east. 3 Thea movement, a part of the Gov- ernment’s plan to clear up the,traf- ‘fic congestion, was ordered yester- by Director-General McAdao, based on the belief that the conges- tion rather than an actual ‘shortage was responsible for the fuel famine. All existing prifority orders were pri- ority director of the War Industries Board, on recommendation of the Di- rector-General, with the expectation a freer movement of all freight, as well as coal, will result. The Director-General also broke a railroad precedent by ordering the Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel under the Hudson River, heretofore re- stricted to passenger traffic, to be used to move coal to trains into New York. Numbers of the shipping board conferred with McAdoo today to de- termine the number of ships avail- able for trarisportation of coal from Hampton Roads to New England ports to assist in relieving the situa- tion. Indications today were that Presi- dent Wilson would. go before Con- gress Friday to present his recom- mendations for legislation to make Government operation of railroads fully effective and provide for reim- bursement of the roads on the basis of pre-war earnings. The Presi- dent’s plans already have been draft- ed into legislative forms and bills embodying them probably will be in- troduced in both houses tmmediately after his address. ——“_ McAdoo Takes Control of First Flec- tric Lines.

Under the old law, when the ex- emptions were $2000 for unmarried persons and $4000 for heads of fami- lies, Collector Moore said, one per- son out of each 100 of the popula- tion in St. Louis paid income tax. The estimate of the number of fn- come tax payers in the St. Louis dis- trict, which includes 53 counties in the eastern half of the State, is from 80,000 to 120,000. It is estimated that in counties which have no towns of 10,000 or more population the per- centage of income taxpayers will be one in 100, and in counties having such towns one in 20.

'through with the war game. “Until,” GARBALDI IN 1911, SAID TALY WOULD BE FREED \ , Commander of Alpiners Against Teutons, in St. Lonis, Told of Training for War. ‘ Dispatches from the Italian war front have lately told of the heroic resistance made by the Italian Al- piniers, under command of Gen. Giu- seppe Garibaldi, to ‘the Austro-Ger-‘ man advance. This is the first word that. has been received in a long time as to Gen. Garibaldi, who is the |grandson and namesake of the _lib- erator of Italy, and who visited St. Louis in the fall of 1911. At the time of his visit.to St. Louis Gen. GariBaldi, who was then 31 years old, Bad seen service in four 'wars. He kad just come from Mexi- leo, where he had been one of the He was the guest of Stewart, and was the guest of honor at a dinner at the Noon@y Club, with Col. 8. W. For- dyce as host; and with William ‘H. Lee, B. F. Edwards, N. W. McLeod and the late Gen. John W. Noble among the guests. He Said to these St. Louisans, and to a Post-Dispatch reporter who in- terviewed him after the dinner, that he was going into the mining busi- ness in Mexico, and that he was as President. he added, “the time comes to com- plete my grandfather’s work in free- ing Italy. . “My grandfather,” he continued, “was compelled to leave Italy incom- plete, with two Adriatic provinces in the hands of Austria. He left as a legacy to his descendants the task of restoring Trieste and the Tren- tino to Italy. “To fit ourselves for this work, my father, Gen. Ricciotti Garibaldi, has devoted himself to the life of an Ital- ian army officer, and I have sdught service wherever there has been war, since Ilwas17. I have had my train- ing now in Greece, Venezuela, South Africa and Mexico, and I feel that I am ready for the work when the op- portunity comes. “Oh, no, I do not expect that Italy will go to war to recover these prov- inces, and I realize, too, that this is an age when men are hoping for world peace. But all the same, Eu- rope will probably see one more great war.‘ And when that war comes, Italy must do its part and must claim its rightful territory. And I shall be there.” Young Garibaldi’s first military work, at the age of 17, was as a pri- vate soldier of the Greek army in the war with Turkey. An armistice ended this war, and “Garibaldi re- turned to his engineering studies, i'and awaited his next chance, which with the British army, because of his came in the Boer War. He served feeling of gratitude for England’s services to Italy, and because, know- ing the Boers, he did not sympathize with them. He was with the staff of Gen. Walter Kitchener, brother of Lord Kitchener. In 1904 Garibaldi took a commis- sion as Colonel of artillery in a revo- lution against the Castro Govern- ment,in Venezuela. In this cam- paign, he said in St. Louis, he was in| greater personal danger and-saw hot- ter fighting than in his previous | Mexico. failed, and Garibaldi was a prisoner ‘ica to invade Germany by air. work or in his later command in The Venezuelan revolution for seven st ee escaped. Garibaldi did n ake part in the war between Japan and Russia, be- cause, as-he explained it, he sympa- thized with Japan, but could never bring himself to fight for “Asia fics against a white people.

Main Although more than 4000 persons gathered in hotels, clubs and cafes Monday night to welcome the ar- rival of 1918, there was noticeably less, hilarity and abandon than in previous New Year’s celebrations here. There was a marked decrease in. the consumption of wine and few sales of imported champagne. In some places noise makers were laid aside. War was the theme in all the elec- trical and patriotic effects attending the arrival of the new year. A num- ber of army officers were among the celebrators. A cold wind and low temperature made the celebration largely an in- er affair, Olive street, Washing- to avenue and streets east of I twelfth street being quiet as com- pared with last year. A few hundred persons braved the cold night air and walked the streets dragging cowbells behind them and blowing horns.

At the Statler at midnight lights were extinguished, a bell tolled the hour and the four sides of a large case dropped, revealing an electric sign with the inscription ‘Peace 1918.”’ On the ballroom floor a miniature ship named ‘1917 was sunk and in its place the ship “1918” arose from waves of Christmas hol- ly and green paper.

Te the Editor of the Post-ispatch, Few have heard about or understood the plight and silent struggle for exist- ence, which the Northern neutrals have been obliged to face in this world war, Denmark especially is having. a hard time in the pincers made up of Germany ani England. The Danes want to preserve peace with honor, and deal unpartially with both Powers, but day after day the situation is growing worse and President Wilson’s embargo has made the outlook for this winter very distressing, by shut- ting off the supply of oileakes and other fodderstuffs which are netessary to keep up the agricultural industry of this little country, and through it the supply of ham, pork, butter and eggs to England. Long time ago the Danish Government took steps to preserve food, coal and raw materials and by letting Danish steamers go with coal from England to her allies, the so-called “duty trips,’’ secured for a time the “necessary supply of coal which has to be bought and transported from ingland. But many ships and: several lives have been sacrificed through U-boat» and at present the cities are only lighted from 6 p. m. to 11 p. m. and stores and hotels close at 4 in the afternoon. In short there seems only to bh give. the Dane this remaining condition: “If you want to eat you must fight.” The happenings of the last few days seem to indicate that the patience of Norway and Denmark with regards fo sinking of their ships, is nearly exhausted end there is reason to expect astonishing news in the near future. FRODE L. PETERSEN, 1237 Chouteau avenue, St. Louis, Mo. Switchmen vs. Railroad Clerks. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. After seven years as a yard clerk I turned to a job as switchman and in reply to S. W. Bunder, the former railroad clerk, I would like to impress upon his mind that the clerks are organized and are coming to the front fast. The only reason for not having St. Louis in line is that 90 per cent of the clerks are afraid to sign up, for if the officials should hear of it they would lose their position and would be black- balled. Now I would like to ask Mr. ®un- der a few questions: , Will you work out in the open eight hours or more in a 600: cap and a $2 pair of overalls in zero weather? Can a celrk lose a leg or arm using a! pencil? Ask your insurance man, what he asks for insurance on a switchman. I can show you or anyone else where a switchman is not making as much teday as the average clerk, taking his expenses and the general conditions into considera- tion. HARRY I. JAY, 7 he Be oe. . A. News From Home. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Having left St. Louis about three weeks ago to take up naval training here, I wish to say how glad I was when a friend sent me the Post-Dispatch. It was like a mes- sage from somewhere. All I have here is Eastern papers, which have no news whatever of the West, so I was surely glad to get word from St. Louis... I had no idea that a boy appreciated word from home until I was put in his place, and if the relatives cf the boys could only see how eager the boys are to get word from home they wouldn't stop with one letter, but sev- eral, and if the people and friends of the boys see how eagerly they wait for a let- ter from mother or sweetheart, all would i : ham a word of cheer.

BOLSHEVIK PEACE TERMS. If the German Government accepts the reported peace terms of the Russian Bolsheviki leaders a long step will be taken towards peace. The fourteenth of the fifteen demands embodted in the alleged peace plan of the Russians con- tains in effect the fundamental war aim of President Wilson. It seeks a peace congress com- posed of delegates chosen by national represen- tative bodies. The acceptance of this demand would strike the heart of the German Imperial Government. It would thrust aside the Emper- or’s constitutional power to declare war and make peace. The German Government would probably be able to control the “national representative body” which selected the peace delegates, but the concession would be a formal recognition of the right of the people to determine the policy of the Government and the terms of peace. The other demands of the Bolsheviki differ in important points from the war aims of the Entente Powers, but cover the fundamental principles which the anti-German belligerents have indicated must enter into the foundations of any peace which they will accept. They provide for the evacuation and restoration of conquered territory and self-determination of their future governmental conditions by all the smaller peo- ples affected by the war. They involve what would be considered by the imperialists of the Central Powers as tremendous sacrifices, prac- tically depriving them of the fruits of their war efforts. Yet it is not by any means a complete program from the standpoint of the Entente Powers. The Russo-German situation is the most inter- esting of the war problem. The Bolsheviki have disregarded every consideration of honor and right in grasping and wielding the governmental power in Russia, and in their treatment of Rus- sia’s allies, but they represent a movement which may have potent influence on the entire war sit- uation and on the future of the peoples in the war, In their ideas of liberty and democracy they have a program which is profoundly alluring to the people of Europe. They may greatly influence the struggle for larger freedom of the German masses. They may seriously affect the attitude of large elements in other countries. They arouse forces that cannot be ignored.: It is singular that the German autocracy is treating with the Bolsheviki in Russia, while it has a deadly fear of a similar element at home. It is indorsing in Russia a movement which, among the German people, would be its greatest menace. On the other hand, the Entente Powers, con- demning the Bolsheviki. movement in Russia, peer be delighted with a similar development in Germany. Anything may happen in Russia. The outcome of the Russian-German deal may be the de- termining influence toward peace or perhaps to- wards an anti-autocracy victory. The situation is full of political and social dy- namics. 6 —________- EXCESSIVE FAT. Mine workers of Belleville, resenting publica- tion by the Post-Dispatch of the fact that the . wages of miners employed by one of the large companies ranged from $53 to $150.49 for a recent two weeks’ pay period, have issued a pamphlet setting forth the small wages received by miners in other years. There is no denying that the miners, in past years, have received small compensation, mainly due to the suspension or partial operation of the mines in times of industrial depression, conditions which affected other classes of workers as. well as the miners. Likewise, there is no denying that the miners are now receiving excessive wages, ob- tained by striking in the hour of the nation’s greatest need and threatening to strike again. The mine workers do not deny the acfuracy of the payroll figures printed by the Post-Dispatch. They merely direct attention to the low wages re- ceived in other years. In this they are following the example of the coal operators, who, when called to account for their profiteering in the period before the Gov- ernment checked their rapacity, attempted to justify it by telling of the lean years through which they had passed. It is probably true that the operators have had lean years. Lean years are the common lot, as Yat years are the common recompense. : Lean years for employers and employes have to be faced with such fortitude as each can command, and when the fat years come there should be a fair division of the fat that is the fair reward of their joint effort. But the operators and the miners have sought to fry excess fat out of the country’s distress and in that both have sinned. — 9-9-9 ——$—$—$ DECENTRALIZING RUSSIA. Bessarabia has set up a Government of its own independent of Petrograd. . Ukraine had pre- viously done the same. The Cossacks not only insist on self-rule for themselves, but aim at con- trol of the central Government. White Russia, Siberla, other units in the former great empire, assert self-governing rights. The present tendency in Russia is admittedly toward decentralization. Just what this will mean if persisted in and no regime appears powerful enough to unify that which is now disintegrating, we can see from the analogy of conditions in the Balkan region during the last generation. The with a separate foreign policy, each intensely jealous of the others, long endangered the peace of the world. We cannot forget that the present great war had its origin in this unfortunate geo- graphical status and in the ambitions of greater Powers to profit by Balkan divisions. One of the alms in the coming peace adjustment will be forever, tc dissipate the “Balkan war cloud” that used at frequent intervals to intensify the feverish race in armaments in the rest of Europe. But what will the world gain if the Balkan menace is ended and its place in the anxious thoughts of European leaders is taken by a cluster of aggressive little states in Central and Southern Russi@® each ready to make war at the drop of the hat? The Federal priticiple, to whose application Jef- ferson foresaw no limit, is admirably adapted to interior Russian ¢onditions. The form of or- ganization under which that great country will! | have its best develdpment will provide a maximum existence there of half a dozen little states, each | of local home rule combined witk a central Gov- ernment insuring common action along really na- tional lines and especially a common foreign policy. = * a ee A FEDERAL BOARD OF WORKS. Before the local members of the American In- stitute of Architects who indorsed its idea, T. C. Young read a paper recommending the creation of a National Board of Works to assume charge of all Federal constructive operations. When we come to examine into the reasons for the waste, delays and often unsatisfactory archi- tectural and other results that mark Government constructive work, we find that responsibility for such work is scattered among several different departments. Perhaps all the causes in which just complaint originates are not properly attrib- uted to this division, but we suspect that the prin- cipal ones are. The Treasury Department assumes charge of the erection of postoffices and other public buildings. The Navy Department assumes charge of the erection of navy yards, naval bar- racks, workshops, docks and other buildings aux- iliary to its departmental needs. It might be sup- posed that it would also direct the construction of breakwaters and river and harbor improvements, but these are under the supervision of War De- partment engineers. Other constructive work is under the charge of the departments whose fe- cilities they supplement. To gather all these activities under one head in a Department of Public Works would adopt a centralizing plan which the large municipalities have already been compelled to adopt. We may believe that it would be a step in the interest of economy and better architecture. That-the stand- ards established by such a department for public work would be accepted as governing private con- struction may fairly be assumed. a > & — SS THE CIRCUIT ATTORNEY’S RECORD. Circuit Attorney McDaniel’s statistical. record of the work of his office for the past year is novel in form and extremely interesting. If, at first blush, it appears rather unusual to make tab- ular recapitulations of prosecutions, listing those which were successful, those which failed and the cases that were dismissed, in the most ap- proved counting house methods, a closer exam- ination will fail to show anything indecorous about it. This is an office created to perform certain important functions and there is no reason why it shouldn’t set forth results like any other department, that of collecting taxes, for in- stance. That there should be only 96 acquittals and 115 dismissals out of 1141 criminal causes may or may not be a tribute to the forensic skill of the Circuit Attorney and his assistants. It does mean, how- ever, that they have not filed many charges in which they did not believe they had the neces- sary evidence to convict. It is but natural to assume that the principal duty of a prosecutor is to convict offenders, but he has a yet higher duty. That is not to put peo- ple upon their trial who cannot be or who ought not to be convicted. When it is remembered that our courts are merciful rather than stern, that our juries would rather turn a probably guilty man | loose than send a possibly innocent man to fail, the small total of 96 acquittals indicates that the Circuit Attorney’s office is attending to duty. La La Le "SS oS AN ENEMY ALIEN MAYOR. Holding that it is totally without jurisdiction | in the case, the United States Court at Indianap- || olis properly declined to issue a writ preventing | Fred C. Miller from taking the office of Mayor at Michigan City, Ind. The extraordinary situation giving rise to the | suit is due to the Indiana law permitting aliens | to vote and hold office on their first papers. May- | or-elect Fred C. Miller is a subject of Germany | who has declared hig intention to become an | American citizen, but who has not yet taken out his second papers and is debarred from taking them out on account of the war. His fellow voters of Michigan City having confidence enough in him to select him as their Mayor, Mr. Miller has an undoubted right to the office under qualifications which the State of Indiana is fully authorized to prescribe. He is not, however, a citizen of the United States. On the contrary, he-is an alien enemy, subject to all the restrictions on alien enemies. The astounding spectacle was accord- ingly presented in that town of a Mayor-elect who was obliged to take out an alien enemy’s permit before he was allowed to enter his own city hall, located in the restricted zone. If any ground exists for suspecting Mr. MiWer’s loyalty or if there is the slightest reason for be- lieving that he might as Mayor become a source of annoyance to the Government, an effective way of preventing his assuming the prerogatives of the office seems plain. This is not through an as- sumption of questionable jurisdiction by the courts, but through a revocation of his alien en- emy permit. ———__—_—_#+¢ THE END OF A DREAM. Last February when Germany started its ruth. less submarine war, the most conservative of the newspaper critics in Berlin said that England would be brought to her knees in a vyea*. ‘There were others who said three montks and the great majority put it at six months The year has nearly run its course and today (-ermany practically admits that its undersea war- fare has been a failure as far as bringing a de- cision is concerned. Hear what Capt. Perstus, Germany's greatest naval commentator says in the Berlin Tageblatt: If the English have so far been able to se- cure their food supplies, they have at least four months without anxiety as they now have their harvest. It must also be remembered that during the next few months Great Britain will secure considerable supplies of food. Without giving any definite figures it should be clear to the calm thinking man that our submarines have still a considerable task to perform and no sensible man would give any time limit within which it will be per- formed. In opening his article Capt. Persius says he has received several letters asking when England will | be brought to her knees and he adds naively “re- cently their tone has become more urgent.” If the statement in the Berlin Vorwaerts is to be believed, that 40,000,000 persons in Germany are starving, it is easy to understand why “their tone has eg more urgent.” J . - A . = o 4 . =P bf al t ea , = ¢ - > “~~ aa rs, ass me , : 3 ' ae i > cs ieee bt . an an’ ~ =. j = t ‘ ‘ 4 7 ° ' te ‘4 o m= ~ = - . > _ ~ : } aru , .

By the time everybody’s pay is raised and guaranteed dividends upon all railroad stocks have been paid a few times, the man who is in charge will want something ample like the United States Treasury behind him. Mr. McAdoo will have it. He can run the railroads of this country with one hand and pay for it with the other, so to speak. ‘*‘That’s only my guess, of course. I don’t know anything about the railroad business, but I know the head of the road is always looking for more capital, and that is what Mr. McAdoo is going to be looking, for. I don’t resent the fact that he is the President’s son-in-law. In those exceptional cases where a man approves of his son-in-law, I believe in emphasizing it in some way. What I do resent slightly is the possible imputation that with the United States Treasury behind him any competent railroad man could not have operated the railroads as a unit just as well as Mr. McAdoo can do it.’’ Sir: Mr. Bryan is not the only person’ who is im- mensely enjoying some of the things we are all for in these times. Think of the woman who has always picked up pins! : E. R. We have thought of her, thanks. Indeed, we like to contemplate the satisfaction of all those whose hobby has become popular—except. the miser. Of course, the miser stepped up and bought Liberty bonds until they had to rub ice on the door sill—but he was the miser still, no less so for probably doing more to make the world safe for democracy than most of us can do. The proper philosophy is that in a big war like this, one can't be too finicky about one’s allies. We consider the spectacle of Col. Roosevelt sitting serenely on the water wagon by the side of Mr. Bryan to be the best example of the impersonal spirit.

Games are the expression of the play-spirit and toys are the instru- ments necessary for the expression of this activity of child life. As a farmer needs garden tools to do his work, so a child needs toys for nis | play—or work, which play really is to him. And if toys are not pro- vided ready-made, he will invent them in order to be able to express | his play-spirit and put into action.. All play depends upon the physical condition of the child. A normal healthy child plays all the time, is easily interested in his toys and as he grows older invents games with them. Ifa child plays but little, can- not easily be interested in his tovs, will not play alone and is cross, look first to his physical condition, then | begin a course of training, or direct- ed play. “Make mother a train of cars wiin your blocks.”’ Often, especially itn the case of an only child, if mother can enter into the play-spirit and play hide and seek, or march and sing, or even build with blocks, it Is such a treat and often a real help in promoting a readiness to play alone when mother must go back to her work. Almost every child wants to help mother sweep, dust, make beds, wipe the silver, or run errands. Make play out of the work and yet let tne) little one feel he is really doing something. With tiny babes too lit- tle even to walk, a mother can make play out of work. chair or bassfnette or carriage in the room where you are working and keep baby busy with toys. For i:- stance, if you are working in the kitchen, let the baby have a big spoon, clothespin, tin covers, or anything ness to keep them hoping and a little coldness to keep them humble; a little encouragement to keep them guessing and a little discouragement to 99? keep them chasing than thou didst before!

I also keep some picture books and a shelf in a closet out of sight. Then when the time comes, as it does so many times a day, when Little Girl says: “What I do now, muvver?” I go to the closet for a surprise. If I give her the blocks, it is always with a suggestion for mak- ing something with them. She now comes to me and asks for “A s’prise, muvver.” When she tires of the blocks J] have her pick them all up, ready to| put away, before she can have an-| other “surprise.’’ Sometimes for! days at a time she does not ask for a surprise, and then when I do bring! out the dominoes, for instance, she is | as delighted as if they were brand! new.

The house to which mother goes may be far more luxurious than any she has ever known. She may be able to sit down and fold her hands in idleness for the first time in her life. None the less, however, it is a tragedy, for it means that mother has lost her independence—she’s a pas- 'senger on the ship instead of being | captain and pilot, and she must fol- ‘low somebody else’s theory of life in- stead of her own. ; The children never understand this. They pat themselves on the back and puff out their chest and feel self-righteous and virtuous about doing their duty so nobly to mother. Sally tells you how she couldn't bear to think of mother staying alone in the old home after ‘father died, and so she just picked her up and brough her to live with her, although mother foolishly cried and protested against leaving her old home. And John tells you that just as soon as he got to making a good liv- ing he made mother give up the old boarding house where she had slavea for 20 years, and come to live with him and his family, although it was pulling mother’s eye. teeth to make her do it, and she still seems to want to go back to it, but he’s going to do what’s right by the best mother man ever had. He hasn’t forgotten how she worked to put him through college. No, sir. He’s going to see that she takes it easy the balance of her life. Why, she hasn’t got a thing to do now but help Jenny with the chil- dren a little and look after the house a bit when they are out—Jjust enough to keep her interested. A never stop for a minute to consider the situation \ from mother’s point of view, which is the perfectly natural and human one of desiring to live one’s own life in one’s own way, in one’s own home among one’s own things, and to be 'free to indulge in one’s own little | ways and habits without criticism. When we are 50 we have acquired ways and are entitled to them. They are the consolation prize of age. Why should a woman who has found out the things she likes to eat ‘and wear best, and the _ opinions that are most congenial to her, be forced to change them all, as she is 'sure to have to do, if she goes to live in a son’s or daughter’s house. In her own house mother can sit in a shabby rocking chair that has shaped itself to her figure. At daughter’s house she must sit in an up-and-down chair that is a place of torture to her because in daughter's | house, that has been furnished by 'a professional decorator, there is nothing so provincial and comfort- |able as a rocking chair, Why should ' mother, who has drunk her coffee | her dinner every day of her be denied that solace because have fits ND these well-meaning children with life, daughter’s butler would ‘over serving coffee in any other way than in a demitasse at the end of the meal? Why should mother give up her that she has built up, and which affords her not only an independent living but a vital interest, to become dependent on her ter for all concerned. That is the crux of the whole mother-in-law situation. No woman who has been at the head of a house for half a lifetime, who is energetic and efficient, can suddenly be de- | prived of all outlet for her activities | and remain sweet and serene, ana. patient and aloof. On the contrary, the very lack of anything to do makes her restless, peevish and mis- | erable. Having no interests of her own she becomes a meddiler and a busybody, poking her finger into ev- erybody else’s pies. Having no whole- some object to expend her thought upon, she grows morbid and imagines slights whefe none were intended. OR is it possible for any experi- N enced housekeeper to see the) waste and bungling of a young} wife learning her trade without an/| irresistible desire to point out her faults to her, and tell her how she used to do it. And that’s why mother and daughter get on each other’s nerves when mother is deposed and daughter becomes queen of the household, and why mother and daughter-in-law fight like the Kil- kenny,cats. It is a matter of cold statistics that in more than half of the divorce cases the mother-in-law is at the bot-/ tom of all the trouble, and hardly a one of us can recall a single house- hold in which the advent of either the husband’s mother or the wife's mother has added to the happiness of the family circle. And if mother is a stormy petrel in the home she is even more mis- erable herself than she makes oth- ers. If she gets along in peace with her in-laws, and her children, and her critical grandchildren, she is compelled to efface herself and to put the soft pedal on all her likes and dislikes. She is a dependent and must fall in with the humors of those who pay the bills. Far, far happier would she he in one room that was her own and in which she might do and say and dress and think as she pleases thin she is in her son’s or daughter's pal: ace. Far, far happier would she be among strangers who would lis- ten with respect to her opinions and her reminiscences than she is among her own children, who are free to tell her that she is growing garrulous and who hush her up before com- pany. A she is expected to really be a sort of upper servant. It is taken for granted that she doesn’t want to go about any, that she finds it wildly exciting to stay at home with the baby and darn the chil- dren’s stockings, while daughter or LSO mother often finds that daughter-in-law is faring forth to enjoy herself. Many a woman works | ten times as hard in the home of her | children, who give themselves credit | for supporting her, than she would | do if she was earning a handsome salary as housekeeper or caretaker of children for a stranger. The woman who has an independ- ent income of her own is little short of insane if she goes to live with her children, no matter how much they importune her to do so. The best of children love a mother more and re- spect her more if she jealously main- tains her own independence. The able-bodied woman who can make her own living is worse than way.” “It is hard enough for us to keep from freezing, but what the little wood flowers will do I do not know,” said the first tree. Some of them are still blooming. I am afraid this early frest will kill them.” The little violet began to tremble and for the first time it felt a chili in the air. “Oh, mother, whatever shall we do?” it asked; “Jack Frost is coming and we shall die!" The mother violet had lived and bloomed many years in the woods, and though she heard all that the big trees were saying, she did not tremble or look afraid. “Do not fear,” my -child,” said the mother violet. .“I have lived a long time in the woods and each year I have had the soft blanket spread over me that kept me warm all winter, and each spring I cam up blooming as before.” : “Blanket, mother, did you say? Why, where will we get a blanket?’ Who will cover us?” asked the little violet. ' “Wait and see,” sald the mother violet. “Jack Frost will come, to be sure, but have no fear; the blanket will keep you warm and even Jack Frost cannot send his cold and frees- ing breath through it.” Trembling with the cold the lIit- tle violet dropped her head and while she was drowsy with sleep she feared it was Jack Frost’s chilling breath that numbed her and that she never would bloom again when the springtime came. ; Y and by the little violet heard B a noise, so she lifted her head and looked about and all around her there were little fairies —hundreds of them—and each with a tiny white fluffy feather in its hand, which he dropped on the little violet and all the wood flowers. “Oh, mother, dear,” said the lit- tle violet, “what is this that is fall- ing over us? Soon we shall be smothered, Is it Jack Frost?’’. “Hush, my child,” said the moth- er violet, “and go to sleep; it is the fairies with the soft white blanket. Soon you will be warm and safe from Jack Frost all winter. Good night, child; in the springtime I will call you as soon as the sun is warm.” All winter, under the soft white snow the violet slept, and one morn- ing in early spring the mother violet opened her eyes. “Why, it is time to © be up and blooming,” she said; “TI must call my little violet to bloom beside me in the warm sunlight. “Come, child,” she called. The little violet-opened her eyes and saw the sun and smiled. “Oh, mother, I was so warm all winter,” she said. “I did not feel Jack Frost's cold breath. Did he come?” ‘Yes, my child,” said the mother violet,‘* and remember this, that the. good fairies that care for you all summer and keep the sun from kill- ing your blossoms will care for you in the winter. They never fafl to come when it is time with their soft white feathers and make a blanket to keep you warm.” (Copyright. 1917. by the McClure New Syndicate.

SIERO the SME EE ot 8 with I STED ; Do Not Eat Between Meals OME years ago a prophecy was S made that the next great war would be won on famine. That war is being waged now. This fact, stark as it is, should be kept constantly before us. The war will be won not by arms alone, but by the duration of the food supply. To fur- nish food is as important as to fur- nish men, ammunition, or money. Now, while there still is plenty, is the time to look ahead and not wait until the war wolf is howling at our own door. Be honest with yourselves, urges the United States food administra- tion. Take a mental inventory of what you eat during the day and see | if the eating between meals does not ‘amount to a “fourth” meal—and some days even to a “fifth” or “sixth!” Calculate in calories just how much food you eat and then subtract that from what is actually needed for the body’s good. We Americans must realize, as few of us have yet, that there is a limit to the amount of food in the world. We have so long lived in the midst of abundance that we have come to think that never could the whole of the world’s available food be ex- hausted. But we have come this near that point now. At this moment the de- mand in some essential commodities is so close to the amount that can be raised in all the world that the loaf of bread which you refrain from eat- ing releases exactly that amount of wheat for somebody in Europe.
