$50 GIFT FOR
THE ICE FUND
BaIIantine & Sons Contribute
to Charity Campaign for
Summer Months.

Another important contribution to
the Evening Star Free Ice Fund has
been received. The gift is $50 and
comes from the firm of p Ballantine
& Sons. 1t will go a long way to
assist in the good work of aleviat-
ting the needs of those needy per-
sons to whom free ice, during the hot
summer days, is blessing.
The contribution by the Ballantine
concern brings the total of the fund
up to $37S.S6, which is a highly graft
fying amount to have on hand for
the summer campaign.
So far there has been a lack of
small subscriptions, which, in previ-
Gus seasons, showed the general popu-
larity of the free ice movement. This
may be due to the fact that people
are backward in sending in the
smaller amounts. fearing that they
will not be welcome when compared
with the larger contributions. But
the dollar of the small contributor
will go Just as far as the dollar of
the larger one in the purchase of ice,
and the fund needs every dollar that
can be raised in order to make the
charity this year a bigger success
than ever before.
The fund now stands as follows

Free Money Orders
for Prisoners of War

1t looks now as though the United
States government Is becoming very in
timately connected with the European
war, for an order has just been received
by the local postoffice from Third As
sistant Postmaster General Dockery I'm
stituting free money orders for prison
ers Of war in Europe. Anyone wishing
to send money to q person now held as
a prisoner OF war can send 1t without
payment OF any fee whatsoever
The order calls attention to the fact
that the Hague convention, which was
subscribed TO by the United States and
by all the European nations now in con-
flict, contained a provision that money
orders drawn in favor OF or RENTED by
prisoners Of war shall be exempted from
any charge for fee or commission.
Why this provision was not put into
effect until nine months after the war
started. the order does not say.

What sort of father are your"
II that is a strange question in
Omaha, nevertheless the fathers in
Council Bluffs have become accus-
toned to it. More than this, they
have come to look about to find what
data they can to answer the question.
II was Stymest Stevenson. a lumber
dealer OF Council Bluffs, who set them
thinking on this matter. stevenson saw
that too much responsibility has been
placed on mothers through all the ages.
Stevenson bethought him that while
there are mothers clubs in swarms. men
devote their time TO making money. ar
guing politics about which they may or
may not know anything, or devote their
great energies to batting golf ball about
COW pasture. They do not know where
their children are or the conditions un-
der which those children live when not

BOYS DON'T KNOW WILLARD
So Declares WA. Foster, Illustrat-

lum Should Be Practical.
PRINCIPALS AND BOARD MEET

A meeting OF the public school princi-
pals and members 6f;the Board Of Edsl-.
cation. in the assembly room on the
fifth floor of the city hall, yielded several
pleasantries as well as being of practical
interest TO those present. 1t was decided
that at the next session the principals
shall occupy the platform and the school
directors will be the audience.
At this meeting A. o. Wakeley OF the
board chose 10 sit with the principals
rather than with his associates. When
W. A. Foster spoke. he facetiously in
quired as TO the identity of the gentle
man clad In the light suit and asked
what school he was principal of. Con-
tinuing in his happy vein, Mr. Foster de-
clared that there seems TO be a need for
making the elementary school cuIricu-
lum Of more practical value For in
stance, he noted that many OF the BOYS
do not seem to know who Jess Willard
Is.
Growing serious, Mr.. Foster added that
he devotes most of his attention to the
grade schools, because statistics show
that two-thirds of those entering the
lower public schools never go TO high
schools at all: therefore, the grade school
means much 70 a great majority of the
attendants.
Thomas A. Fry said he felt like a GER
tain colored man in the south. who. upon
being asked to change a $40 bill. replied
that he was unable to grant the favor,
but thanked the stranger for his oornpiL
ment.
DIR. 10. Holovtchiner referred TO the
hard work Of the principals and related
an observation he made OF a principal
mending some OF the curtains in her
school.
Teach Joy of Work.
Robert Cowell urged that the teachers
should inculeate into the minds of the
young the Joy which they may find IN
work. He said he favors play for the
young, but maintained that boys and
girls should be taught the dignity OF
labor with their hands and to take plOaS-
ure in heir work, whatever It may be.
Principal Gepson OF the Fort school for
boys expressed the hope that the school
officials would cooperate with other
branches Of the city government in the
play movement.
Mrs. Agnes Harrison Of Farnam school
declared there Is a pressing need foy more
teachers In the grade schools and Martha
Powell OF Long school spoke Tor the sum
Tner vacation schools.
Principal Reed of Central High school

by the school authorities IL a difficult
matter, but he argued that school demoo-
racy may find expression in the athletics
