WOMEN AND WAR
Theirs Is the Chance to Defeat Bullets
with Ballots.

with Ballots.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May convinced feminist re,
mark about this man-made war that
out Of the i'll wind appears already 10
be blowing good? 1t appears certain
that in all countries concerned and al
fected the reaction will bring an IN
crease of practical democracy, including
the public participation of women IN
social and political progress. In spite
of the huge proportions Of this war
men are less subject than they used 10
be to what Mrs. Chapman Gait aptIy
calls their form of hysteria. But IN the
matter of bullying and bow-wowlng
men are still fools And it is up. to the
women of the world to defeat bullets
with ballots. When women turn from
their gentle hysteria of helplessnesS to
a grave, brave assertion of their hu-
man responsibility men will be glad 70
turn from their more hideous hyStcrla
and become sane. 1t is the mlghtlest
and most magnificent opportunity IN
the history of the world, and have
faith that the women are ready.

Your Coming Tower?-I almost hate II!
NV boy writes stuff the livelong day,
And yet you don't appreciate it!
He will not touch a crumb OF bread.
He often goes sans lunch or dinner;
For words to rhyme he racks his head
No wonder he is growing thinner!
He used to be so hearty, hale
once he was healthy and athletic;
But now he's ghostlike, weak and pale;
And speaks to you in tone phrenetc.
lie doesn't care to go to shows,
He shoves away his favorite dishes;
But thinks Of how the metre flows,
And when it's bad he wakes vicious.
All night upon the type machine
He pounds away in sore distraction;
When he was canned, you should have seen
His fiery eyes; his every action!
He's got the fever on his brain,
And yet he's, o, so very clever!
And yOu-you heartless man-are fam
To go on canning him forever!
You'll surely drive him on to drink
CAnd this, sir, is no idle blufIinD
And all because-now just you think
You didn't want to put his stuff in!

During this summer 9,l23 boys anc
girls enjoyed country outings through
the Tribune Fresh Air Fund. More
than 400 are at present in the country
The outings provided averaged al
least a fortnight in length. Were
they good outings? Who should know
better than the youngsters who en-
joyed them? Read what two of then
have to say:
"Dear Fresh Air Fund: | thank
you very much for sending me

Hynes from Harlem Hospital sent
me. God bless you. Sincerely
yours, AIDA -:
"Dear Sir: and my sister Mar
garet Just returned from Ashford
Hill, Ardsley, n. Y. We were sent
there by you from the Free Syna-
gogue House.
We will not forget the kindness
in Ashford Hill that was shown
US by the superintendent and by
the teachers. We had fine time
out there. Everything that was
possible to make our stay pleasant
was done for US.
Thank you for making this va
cation in the country possible for

The children sent away came from
all sections of the city. That this
is true is evident from the fact that
one hundred and fifty organizations
doing social welfare work among the
poor Of New York recommended larger
or smaller numbers of the children
selected for the outings. The largest
number, naturally, came from Man
haitian.
About 100, however, were chosen
from the crowded sections of Brook
Ign, while a considerable number came
from The Bronx. What did the organi-
cations which recommended the chill
dren think Of the outings? Let them
speak for themselves:

Gentlemen: wish to thank you
for the very good time that our
children have had through your
efforts this summer. You sent
away thirty-five more children for
US this year than last. In addi-
tion TO these children, one little
girl has been in the country all
summer because she was invited

possessions as carefully as you do

1t has been explained to us by one who under
stands the war situation that peace is not immt
nent; that, while the countries involved cannot
afford to keep fighting they cannot afford to stop.
Our friend tells us that it is like high limit poker

can they afford to quit the game.

WHY NOT DEATHLEss BULLETS?

Not long ago a doctor was reported to have caught
several deer alive by shooting them with bullets
made of glue, flour paste and narcotic drug. Soon
after being hit by one of these bullets the deer be-
came unconscious and while in this state they were
put in crates.
Now to apply this ingenious bullet to modern
needs-Why not make it international rule or
law or practice or whatever they call it, that similar
bullets be used by all natOns-after this war is
over?
Of course, powder would be needed with these bull
let's so it would not be necessary to make enemies
of the powder interests.
There would always be danger Of making the in
lection of this narcotic pleasing that the soldiers
would form the injurious habit Of shooting them
selves periodically. L. W. II.
