MADE IN AMERICA"

The "Made in America" campaign
gives promise of bringing great re-
suits to the advantage of our ma
tional industries. The legend "Made
in Germany has become familiar
all over the world in the last quarter
century. We find it on our cutlery,
our toys, on a thousand kinds of
specialties. 1t has been mag
rificent advertisement of expanding
German industry and commerce. The
very protests that, especially in
Great Britain, have from time to
time been voiced against the Ger
man invasion" have served chiefly
till now to advertise the successes
of the Teutons.
This is the accepted time for such
an American campaign. We are the
friends of all the world; almost the
only friends of everybody. The
world turns to America to supply it
with all manner of necessaries.
There will be no effort to arouse re-
sentiment against an invasion of
American commodities because that
invasion just now will be welcomed
with open arms. Put the legend on
everything from America, and it will
advertise American wares for the
future
A little patriotism about using
American made goods right here at
home will be useful; and this move
'nent will encourage the develop
ment Of that kind of feeling.

special appeal to the people of all
the American countries. This is the
opportunity of America in the

far to open market for American |
wares throughout all this great ex-
panse of trade territory and oppor-
tunity.
In order that their goods may
most readily find buyers, Americans
must understand the need of max
ing what the market wants. and |
offering it for sale on .he accus- |
toned terms If that market. The
American thrcghing machine. for |
instance. is conceded to he a better
machine than the ono
made in England. Yet England re-
tains a gri p on Il considerable busi-
ness of selling its machines to Rus
sia. The reason is hat Russia |
doesn't want the machine that the
manufacturers insist on
selling t. her. Concessions to the
local prejudices, and indeed to local
conditicnS, mus be made in order /

Scene-The Noel House Ten
o'clock a. m.
What am to do about that lit
cut his head last week? They sewed
the wound at Casualty Hospital. and
wonder when they want to take
the stitches out"
Miss Mueller had not heard about
the accident. though most of the
thrilling happenings in the neighbor-
hood reach her ears. She telephoned
to the hospital and told tho mother
the hour to take her child back.
Incidentally she sent her away with
smile By telling her the doctor
had said Jimmy had undergone the
surgeons needle without a whimper.
The mother was scarcely out Of
sight when little mother" of
seven years or so brought a young
er brother who had cut his foot.
I'VE were near here Miss Mueller,
and I told Bobby you would fix up
his cut"
Right you are" was the CHEEKY
response Take him around to the
dispensary."
Little Incidents, these, and all in
the days work. But they illustrate
the neighborly and friendly footing
on which the Noel House has es-
tablished itself IN the community IN
its vicinity.
Meet As Friends.
For the Noel House does not devote
itself to charity in the accepted
sense It taboos that much misused
term The house residents are
friends Of the folk in their neighbor-
hood. and ordinarily you would not
offer your friends old clothes, nor
would you give them money. But
you might invite them to your
home, and you might join with
them in organizing clubs and play
ing games. That is the sort of serv-
ice by which the residents and the
volunteer workers at Noel House
have made themselves very much a
part Of the neighborhood about FIJI
teenth and III streets northeast
This work dates back to 1901, when
two friends. Miss Ryan and Miss
Whitman (now Mrs. Gilfillan), who
had been doing social service work in
the northeast, started to make
home, so that the good influence Of
their work, might be centralized and
perpetuated. This idea came at
Christmas time. hence the home was
called the Noel House.
Under the suggestive title. A
Grain Of Mustard Seed" one mem
ber of the organization sketches an
interesting history of the work.
TO gather young people from the
street into warm. bright rooms
was not difficult. and the parlors
were soon full. the children crowding
all over the house" she says. Clubs
and classes in sewing. cooking, car
pentering. etc. were formed to hold
their interest and tiny room in the
cellar roughly fitted out for a gym
nasium. An offer from the summers
outing committee to provide funds
for a boys camping party, II Noel
House would undertake the expert
ment. was accepted by the residents,
and the success was so great that

nent establishment of Camp GOOD

Wnmen Parasites?

Francis w. Crowninshield, of the
editorial staff of the Century Maya
zine, says:
"Of course 1 do not see the married
women In this country as helpless,
parasitical dependents That parasite
idea is nonsense. There are more
weakened, dependent husbands
than there are parasitical wives.
ct isn't the fault Of the American
women that she is marrying less fire.
quently and unmarrying more fire.
~quently. It's the fault of the Ameri-
can man. Once a rich man supposed
himself to have the privileges Of a
Red Rover. He believed that all he
had to do was to throw his handker'
chief at a woman, or slap her on the
cheek and she would humbly and
thankfully become his wife. Now
that sort of man merely bores a wom-
an. And she's not going to pretend
that he doesn't.
THE modern wife wants a husband
who has read Brieux and Arthur
Schnitzler. She wants him to know
the paintings of Matisse. She looks
for a cultivated taste in music, an In
terest in chamber concerts. For the
woman of today is caught in all the
cultural currents, all the new social
movements. | believe, indeed, that
she is more responsive to them than
the men,"

Klckers, Too, in Those Days.

The habit of finding fault with the
p~ostofice department was just as pro-
nounced a century ago as at the pres
ent time, as is evidenced by the follow
ing comment printed in a Boston news
paper 100 years ago: The mail Of
yesterday brought neither letters o
papers south of Hartford, Conn. The
infamous conduct Of the postofice de-
partment deserves the severest legis-
lative animadversions. There are now
due in this town, at this most inter-
esting moment, two mails from Wash
ington and one from New York. For
this vexatious and fraudulent delay
there is not even a plausible pretext,
The roads were never better, nor is
the cold so intense as is common at
this seazon. Whether the mail con-
tractors are bribed or whether the
postmaster general or his subalterns
retard the mail to favor their own
speculations it is not for us to deter
mine; but that there is unfair play
somewhere 1t is impossible to deny"

LIQUOR Laws to Be TESTED.


Jefferson City.--Tf the Tegethoff
law, passed by the last legislature,
by which the Excise Board OF st.
Louis County was created, is declared
unconstitutional, twelve other laws
vitality affecting that county also will
have to be declared void, according to
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney E. II.
Chappell. He has completed a list of
the laws in preparing his arguments
to assist Prosecuting Attorney LASTLY
in his defense of the Excise law.
If twelve laws were declared I'M
constitutional, the two judges of the
circuit court of st. Louis county each
would lose $125 a month salary; the
prosecuting attorney would lose a sal
airy of $50 a month from the state and
an allowance for clerk hire and money
for a second assistant; Circuit Clerk
C, G. Wolff would lose $1,000 a year
for extra clerk hire; building permits
no longer would be issued in the
county; the salary of the county high
way engineer and surveyor would be
reduced from $4,000 to $4,000 a year;
the right to spend money for the i'm
proyements of roads would be taken
from the county court; the incorpor-
| ated cities of the county no longer
would have returned them 65 per cent
| of the road taxes paid into the county
treasury; the law providing for the
organization of special road districts
would apply to the county; the law
providing for the organization OF
| school districts would be voided;
| clerks and deputies at the courthouse
would be deprived of their Saturday
half-holiday, and a special school dis
| trict provision would be voided.
All the laws are worded so that they
apply only to the county.
Sam D. Hodgdon, state representa-
| tive, is attorney for two saloonkeep'
ers, in a test suit to force the county
court to issue licenses.
In forcing the issue, Hodgdon will
cause the constitutionality of a law
he fathered in the last legislature tc
be tested. He drafted the statute
providing for special school districts
in counties of $4,000 inhabitants adj
joining cities of more than 100000.
