Editor Progressive,
| am glad that Mr.. Street has
taken up the question of dress
~ mig women and children.
\4ertainly is a shame the way
women dress their little
/ have noticed just such
ktions as Mr.. Street de-
IA both with women and
len. The trouble is we ape
Latter fashions too much, wo-
linen lace themselves so tight
that they ruin their health ; and
young girls run around with
low necked. dresses and no
sleeves. Some 81 our fashiona-
Bile ladies and little girls got
their backs up at what Mr..
Street said. Well, he did not
call any names, but / suppose
If the shoe pinches they will
have to grin and bear it.
would not permit one of my
girls to be seen in public in such
toggery as some put on their
children.
Yours for sensible clothing.

THE MIGHTY SUBMARINE.
Joe Hollingsworth.)

(Joe Hollingsworth.)
The cable operator is quite a busy mar
Especially these days in the foreign
land.
He labors. hard; while at home we
quietly sleep
To send US the news vel which we
some times weep.
We look for the news with hearts 50
TIC learn the unlawful doings of the
submarine,
Then the cablegram says that a neu
trail ship
Has been run down on a neutral trip.
They were attacked completely un-
aware
Way out on the briney deep some
where,
When at her bow was a great explosion
Created on board a great commotion.
#H &sEa%aar, !!
Passengers began running to and fro
What had happened they did not know
Not having time to hardly think
Until she settled and began to sink.
The crew they worked with hearts sc
brave
While passengers sank to their wa
terry grave,
Now in the homes so far away,
Mothers kneeIed and began to pray.
For God to watch and guide the ship
That they may safely complete the
trip,
Now in the port from which she sailed
They received thenews and began 10
wall.
For loved ones bound for the othec
shore
But they know now they will see nc
Such was as this We do not under
stand
Putting the women and children on
the c~ontraband.
May God with His all powerful hand
Bring justice to this numbering band,
That sunk our ships and take our lives
Such doings as this He does despise.
Cur nation then put on its mourning
For the loved ones lost without a
warning,
Who went down on that date
And Witnessed the Lusitania's fate.
