Comes Next Week.

The first sale Of old newspapers collect
ed by children Of the District public
schools will be made on Wednesday and
Assistant Superintendent Of Schools
Stephen Z. Kramer expects good-sized
sum from the proceeds, judged by the
general interest manifested by pupils.
Dealers have offered a rate Of 10 cents
hundred pounds, and this rate will boost
the playground and park fund several
hundred dollars weekly If the enthusiasm
OF the school population continues.
To reduce the possibility of fire, it has
been decided that the children bring the
newspapers to the schools on the day De-
fore the scheduled collection. Each school
has been assigned definite collection days.
One OF the interesting things developed
by the campaign for the conservation Of
old newspapers is the information that
the parents Of more than IS per cent of
the school children buy the daily news
papers.
II an average Of one pound Of paper is
brought in each week by each boy and
girl IN the public schools it means that
about twenty-three long tons Of paper
Will be collected weekly, or several hun
dred tons during the course OF the year.
With money thus raised many desired
articles may be purchased for the school
Fairgrounds and other social activities.
This, Of course, is one Of the reasons why
the children are working hard in making
the collections.

Women and Preparedness

The sudden interest of -Ameri-
can women in the subject of pre-
paredness has caused more or
less speculation as to whether
they were really interested in it
or are using the subject for a
stepping stone to some other
matter. Speculation is now set
aside by the statement of one of
the foremost advocates Of pre-
paredness. In substance she says
that women felt that they must
demonstrate their ability proper
ly to consider matters of public
Importance. and they, therefore.
seized upon the opportunity to
promote national preparedness
Thus, it becomes plain that in
terest in preparedness is intend
ed to be a demonstration of abili
ty properly to consider public
matters. There is no longer rea-
son for speculation.
Yet, the explanation seems not
to wholly satisfy some ,neWspa-
pers, one of which remarks that
women seem to be treating pre-
paredness as a momentary fad. -
Perhaps they are, and perhaps
they are not, but such allegation
certainly tasks gallantry. The
editor who wrote those word;
would have done much better Il
say something nice, for after all
even though women's interest il
preparedness is "a EOmentary
fad," the women in case of wal
can do a great many things that
the men canneE do. In wal
times it is the women who MOI
only maintain the home, but
gather and forward a great sap
plies needed on the field of bat
| tie. 1t is the women who fight
battles fully as fierce as those
between contending armies.

Smith, aged Sc, bachelor her.
nit. whose home is near Racine,

to the open, where a female of
the species may catch him at any
moment. About New Years
time some joker told Ebenezer
that the leap year girls would
get him if he didn't watch out.
Immediately the aged man fled
to his cabin, barbados all the
doors, sawed the floor loose near
the threshold. and sat armed at
his window. No inducement
could persuade him to come
forth. But Sheriff Holick and
five deputies recently stormed
the Smith fortress and broke
down the front door. There
stood Ebenezer. as the story
runs, with a great knife between
his teeth. an ak in one hand and
a heavy hammer in the other.
Finally the officer broke down
the back door, bridged the Ioos-
ened floor over the cistern and
grabbed the old man from be-
hind. Then they took him to
