Posters Are Founts of Mlsinformation.
Now that she came TO think Of it,
Mrs. Heath had noticed those posters,
and had often remarked how fortunate
they had been in keeping the children
away from the undoubtedly demoraliz-
ing influences of the performances that
those posters were attempting to sug-
gest. But it had never occurred TO her
that the posters suggested quite enough
TO the Imagination Of the children. so
that the actual performance WAS en-
tirely superfuous. Indeed. with the
censorship that is being maintained
through the cooperation of private
agencies with the manufacturers Of the
movie" films the reels presented in
most motion picture parlors are com
paratively free from danger. whereas
the posters are in most cases more
lurid and more suggestive than the
pictures inside.
Within a few weeks Howard and
Louise, and thousands of other chill
dren whose careful parents keep them
away from the demoralizing effects Of
crude melodrama. were able TO gloat

Mrs. Heath. like so many other care

out with the fire of belief.
"But the world is commencing to APP
preciate the fact that woman must
have some status in war, because her
stake is greater than that Of mans.
Besides the physical hardships she
must bear, she has the spiritual suffer

has, as WELL the patriotic fire which
makes men desire to die for their

"And now women must have some

6(T EFT a commission be sent from
l. America to every country
in Europe to collect data on
the actual conditions of woman. We
must have definite picture of wom-
ans relation to the life Of a country
in time Of war" This proposal is made
by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, who feels
that the old-time fallacy that woman
has no status in war must definitely be
disproved. 1t is this fallacy which has
kept women out Of war councils. Never
can they speak in war councils for
peace until science shows what their
status is.
ave do not want to know of the e1-
ceptional horrors, such as massacre,
violation and other incidentals. Nor
do we want to gather accounts Of the
spiritual torture of the women, which
is far greater than any Of the evils
which men suffer. But we want the
everyday facts of the everyday life Of
the woman. We want the list Of her
physical hardships. We must know
Of the extra burdens she must carry.
First, we must have exact statistics
Of the economic situation Of these
women and their children. Let US find
out for VIVA. wages they work, and how
they must drop from the standard
wage.
Let us find out how the widows
support themselves and the
orphans. What are the facts of

not say, notice, that wars will cease
when women do have the vote. But
say most emphatically that the con-
verse is true, that wars will not cease
until women do have the vote.
Lack of Democracy Wars Cause.
"What is the cause of war? Diplo-
macy. And lack Of democracy. We
can never have an end of subterranean
diplomacy until nations have become
completely democratized through the
enfranchisement Of women.
Diplomacy has been devised to up
hold dynasties. Diplomacy as it now
stands is a conscious denial Of the SOW
ereignty Of moral law in international
relations. But democracy will demand
that the policy of nations be as honor
able as the nation demands that the
policy Of It's citizens be.
do you remember when the white
book, and the green book, and the va
rious other rainbow hued liter ture Of
diplomacy were made public? After
it was too late. The people had moth
ing TO say in the matter. They could
not protest, not even the women could
or would protest, because diplomacy
had forced them into a position Of war.
Consider, for example, the publicity
Of our correspondence with Germany.
Almost everything is known. The peo-
pie demand it,"
"But women have not the vote here"
came the protest.

agreed that the children were not to
see any motion pictures, except such as
had been strictly censored, first by the
regular agencies and then by some
member of the family. And so far as
mother knew, the children had actu-
ally attended only three or four motion
picture shows, Of a perfectly harmless
kind, and always in the company Of
some other member Of the household.
She therefore asked ct once: when
did you see anything like that at the

That looked bad, for mother knew
that the children we're supposed to be

Who gave them permission to go? For

BELGIAN RELIEF
WORK BY SCHEDULE
Commission Times Food Ship
ments So Germans Can Co.
operate in Distribution.

A report made public yesterday by
the Commission for Relief in Belgium
shows that recession in the matter Of
detail plays an important part in sup
plying Belgium with food. The stem
of this aE.i-famine organization as well
as its purpose has commended it TO
German officials, and their co-opera-
ton is an important factor in the sue
cess of the undertaking.
The sailing of food-laden ships is
timed to the hour, so that their car
gees will reach Belgium not only in
time to prevent scarcity, but at a
time VIII : ey can be unloaded and
distributed without delay. In this the
Germans play an important part. The
commission is kept informed Of con-
ditions along the railroads used TO
transport troops, and ample notice is
given when the lines will not be avail
able for food shipments.
Down TO the thOusandth part OF a
kilo. or about the fve-hundredth part
of a pound, the commission keeps track
of the disposition OF all supplies. olEIy

Belgium; a months supply Of food
comes close 20 10000 tons, and the COM
mission knows where it goes TO ne
veriest faction of an ounce.

complete, and it is expected she will

CHINATOWN GIRLS
RESCUE NEEDS AID
Settlement for Redeeming
Whites from Evil Influ-
enCe Lacks Funds.

The Settlement at 10 Mott Street,
which for more than ten years has
been devoted to the redemption OF
white girls who have come under the
evil influence Of Chinatown, will soon
be discontinued unless it obtains fnan-
cial assistance.
Miss Annette Bosrdman and Miss
Annie L. Williams, the resident work
ers, have up to this time been able 10
secure through private subscription
enough funds to maintain their mod
est rooms at the above address, as well
as their sanatorium, cottage at
Mount Arlington, n. J. But this year,
owing TO the death OF several OF their
most liberal contributors, their re-
sources have been curtailed to a point
where the continuation OF their pro-
ject is jeopardized.
TIE work Of the Settlement has been
principally TO take young girls who
have become addicted TO the use Of
drugs and bring them TO such a men
tai state that they want TO be cured.
They are then taken 70 hospitals, or
treated at Mt. Arlington.
In addition TO it's medical functions,
the Settlement is a sort Of clearing
house for news of girls who have run
away from home 10 Chinatown, or any
white girls in Chinatown who have no
business there. The police regularly
inquire there for information which
they can get nowhere else, knowing
that Miss Williams and Miss Board
man enjoy the confidence Of the resi-
dents Of the district.
Few persons have known Of this
Settlement, because of the modest and
unassumirg nature of its work. Now
however, facing a serious financial
strirgency, the Settlement has made
a call 20 the public for help, through
its treasurer Miss Clemence Board
man. at l2S East Thirty-iourth Street,
to which address contributions may be
sent.

I should like 10 prophesy which is
more elegant than betting that the
old-fashioned. narrow-minded. self-in-
terested political clubs which have
dominated and despoiled New York for
years are being driven out Of pow, r,
and will be driven out Of existence, by
the neighborhood associations that are
growing up.
talked yesterday with Simon Hrs
dansky, principal Of Public School 4. in
The Bronx, about the Crotona Neigh
borhood Association.
"The neighbors will hold a mass
meeting at Public School 4 on Monday
evening to urge upon the city officials
the Importance Of adopting imme-
diately the Writ plan of recognizing
The Bronx schools.
This is the only plan which offers
prompt relief of the congestion from
which The Bronx schools have been
suffering ever since the subway was
opened, ten years ago.
THE people Of this community have
been wanting for long time just such
opportunities for themselves and their
children as the Writ plan offers. They
are hoping to make their wishes clear
enough to impress the city authorities
on Monday evening"
The President of the borough, Doug
las Mathewson, and other city officials
will be present. The meeting will be
more like the early New England town
meetings than anything the Republic
has seen since. Every citizen of the
community who attends will vote upon
matter of vital Importance to the
community.
These mass meetings are the regular
medium through which neighborhood
associations record vote on local mat
tiers. At present the associations ex-
press the genuine and intelligent con-
victions of the people Of their COM
munities. They have no bosses, and |
don't think that they will ever have.
They are as nearly democratic as any
organizations l have ever seen.

made 10 order in linen or satin. At a
recent wedding they were Of white satin
painted in orange blossoms. Besides
the guests name, there were the mi
tails Of the bride and bridegroom, the
date, etc. Afterward they were used as
mats, framing the picture Of the bride.
This made a very pretty souvenir.
Nearly all Of the cards stand easel
fashion on the service plates, and fol-
low the iGea or central point iu the
dinner. For instance, T. FISH dinner has
merm7rds, fish, shells, s-aweed or ma
r.ue scenes painted on the card. For
other occasions there are fruits, butter
flies, birds, flowers, vegetables, people
in all walks of life and animals of all
kinds. Fairies and ballet girls perch
upon the rims of the water glasses.
Alice in Wonderland figures are cut out
and painted true TO life and stand up
on easel props.
For the Cubist dinner there are the
silhouette figures, which are fascinat-
ing and quiet new. These are most eff
fective when used with the black and
white striped china.

There's no wonder you see that

families together and 10 prevent the
development Of that tragic snobbish-
ness that destroys the happiness Of so
many families in which the parents
have sacrificed for years to give the
children an education. The old-fash-
toned purely academic education tends
TO breed contempt even for manual
labor that earned their education for
them"

nous expense Of buildings is so far

Preserving
Your Linen

A VERY excellent plan for pre-
~ serving linens and underwear
and one which was used sue
eessfully by one Of the best house
keepers ever knew, is to place the
fresh articles as they come from the
laundry at the bottom Of the pile in
sideboard, dresser, or linen chest, cav
ing the earlier ones on top. In this
way the same articles are not used
week after week, but come iAto use
every three, four or five weeks, accord
ing to the supply.
Il will thus be seen that the wear
and tear is less than if they were in
use constantly and goiI.C through
weekly wAshings, as is sometimes the
case if no system is used in piling
them away.
II this plan is strictly adhered to it
will be found Of inestimable value.
