friends. Now these officers are at sea,
many of them no doubt going to their
death, unless. of course, as some think,
the war will be over before many more

LABOR DAY.
A Very Successful Dance at the N.
G n. Armory.

The first bold plunge has been
taken by the ''laboring man" into
the icy waters of conventionality
and the result has been a gigan-
tic, reinvigorating and assuring
success. The Inauguration of
Labor Day by the dance at the N.
G.. III. Armory last night must
have been as gratifying to the
promoters of the movement as it
was pleasant to their numerous
and well looked after guests.
The spacious hall had been taste
fully decorated for the occasion
and the courteous attention and
hospitality of the hosts were all
that could be desired. All went
off as happily as the ''inaugura-
tion of new eras" generally do if
not to the chimes of the wedding
bells then to the sweet and stir
ring strains of the quintette club
and rhythmic motions of the mer-
ry dance. 1t was a very success

We have frequently urged the
Government and private individuals
to provide for the establishment OF
reformatory school for girls. We
have tried to point out the demand
there is for such an institution and
what blessing it would be for the
young girls who might be saved il a
helping hand was held out to them
in time before they bad made their
bed in the gutter 1t was expected
that the last Legislature would have
appropriated money for reform
