LITTLE BENNY'S
NOTE BOOK
By LEE PAPE

THE ASH MAN.
The ashman comes down our back
street
Yelling, Wo! Git up there; Wo!
Depending on weather he wunts his 2
mules
To stop standing still or to go.
One of thems white all over
And the uther ones white and black,
And they gittyup forwerd most of the
time,
But wen thare told to they gittyup.
The white ones ears stick backwards
And the uther ones ear stick frunt,
And the white ones name is Elizabeth
And the luther ones name is runt.
The ashman yells. Wo. Elizabeth, Runt
And the Vaughn and the mules stop,
And he reetches up the side of the
Vaughn
And umpdumps your ashes on the top.
Then he slams your ash can down so
It's wunder it don't come apart,
And yells. Gitup. Elizabeth, .Runt!
O it's fun to watch the ashman
For wenever a strong wind blows,
A few Of the ashes go in the Vaughn.
But most of them go on his clothes.
And if you treet him pullitely
In spite of the ash cans he smashes,
You mite be able to solve the MYSTERY
Or wat he does with all the ashes.

WOMEN BEING Modified.

The women Of Holland are to be
nrepared for instant mobilization in
case of war to keep the essential civil
life OF the nation going, as we'll as to
perform such service behind the lines
as that Of the Red Cross.
Under the scheme now drawn up,
the National Women's council OF the
Netherlands is arranging for inscrip-
ton of1ices to be opened all over the
country, where all the available fe-
male labor forces can be registered
and classified on the card system. 1t
is to be left to each woman volunteer
to say whether she would desire a
salary or not and whether she has any
objection to transferment from one
place to another, while she is entire
~ free in her choice of the nature Of
the work. AS, however, there is likely
to be superabundance Of offers for
certain kinds of labor, the volunteer
can register a second and even a third
selection No wage paid is to be less
than that earned by the man replaced;
on the other hand, the woman so en-
ployed may in no case claim the place
when the emergency is past.
The plan has the entire approval Of
ministers and the commanders In
chief Of land and sea forces, and the
postofice, railway and other authort
ties have promised their cooperation
in fixing the amount and kind of labor
that would be needed in the event Of
mobilization. The preparatory work
of the women's RECOMMENDATION Is al
ready in full swing in various centers
Of the country. 1Hs
