A PROPER REBUkE.

Myron 7. Herrick, formerly ambassador to France,
than whom American has done more unseldsh and
efficient work for the relief of the European vic
tins, and Henry w. Taft eminent New York law
yer and brother of the exrpresident of the United
States. have resigned their ycepresdencies of the
National Allied Relief Committee, They take this
action in protest against letter issued by the
tary of the committee in which it asserted that
American sympathy had helped to make possible the
faithful performance of American duty toward the vic
tins of the "greed of Prussianized Germany" with
the further volunteered sentiment that until the
allies have accomplished their part have saved Europe
from Prussian milarism, America must not falter."
This rebuke is entirely proper. Nothing could be
offensive to the spirit of neutrality than at
tempt to make the broad and catholic charity of
America instrument for the support of side in
the great conflict.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-In the January issue of The

tion our Colored Jubilee Singers"
do not know who wrote the article or
who is responsible for its insertion in
the Newarker. but | do know that the
article in itself is not one that is at
all likely to elicit any pleasant smiles
from the faces of our colored citizens,
and I, for one. take exception to three
of its sentences, which take the very
life out of the article, all too short as
it is.
The article begins: There are a
goodly number of worthy colored folk
in Newark" OF course, such a SEN
tence might we'll be omitted, since its
implication is that the bulk of our
colored folk are unworthy, and such
being the Implication it is, indeed,
very inappropriate to appear in an
. organ such as The Newarker, which
is now a servant medium of all the
people for a common good end and
not to foster discrimination and slurs,
to the ultimate displeasure of a par
ticular people.
Certainly there was no need for
making any emphatic mention of a
/ soodly number of worthy coloretl
people any more so than to goodly
number of any other kind of people.
People are people in Newark and else
where. and all have their good and
bad If they did not they would cease
to be people. No class of people is
made up of all angels. Then why
mention worthy in q special connec-
tion with one class of people in par
ticular in a peoples magazine?
The average white man is altogether
too prone to size the colored man up
as unworthy, and | most vehemently
protest when such an idea is promul-
gated and carried forward in a mag
azine fostered by our entire citiZenry.
The second sentence boldly an
nounces that they probably wish to

our in this sentence dares to place
the colored people entirely on the out
side. begging to get in. May / ask
who are the "our?" Are not colored

THE one popularity about Tracy
which attracted general attention
from all who saw him and who had

appearance he was almost the exact
counterpart Of the great Virginlan
He could have sat for q portrait of

been accepted as an accurate por-

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS

Why Your Body Never Stops Growing
and Changing.
One of the most characteristic
symptoms" of life is growth. To
paraphrase popular aIusion. YOU
may say, while there's life. there's
growth" Growth may not always
assert it's presence by an extra inch
or more of height, width or eirth,. yet
as long as the spark of vitality is
aflame it is still present.
Man, brutes and plants live and
have their being by virtue of certain
strange and vital processes. such as
absorption of food. inhalation of
fresh air. drinking of water. and the
birth of new tissues in the place OF
those worn out by use. decay, acei-
dent. injury, waste or Illness.
The waste that accumulates in tho
pores, channels. creYaees, canals,
pathways, intestines, kidneys, lungs
and other ducts that lead 10 the OUT
side must be removed once or twice
the outer world this waste will OBJ
strtlet and put an end 10 life.
Psychologists call this hourly
waste wear and tear. "kataboism.
which means a breaking down or
destruction of living flesh and blood.
Some pundits use the term ''anapol-
ism" which means the accession of
vital material, such as victuals, air.
and fertilizer for the living fabrics

Plants Grow CeaseIessly.
There are certain non living proc
esses, which on the surface appar-
entity resemble this outstanding
symptom of life. Plants can be seen
to grow as long as they live. but ami
mails, after definite age. seem SUI
perficially to cease growing. This.
however, is more apparent than real.
At this momentous frontier between
youth and maturity the balance be-
tween "anabolism" or new building
and ''katabolism," or loss
and waste, is barely on the credit side
of life's ledger.
The growth now goes into the es-
sence of the creature to abet further
reproduction. A wise Creator fore

A WEEK FOR THE BABIES.

This is year when Americas responsibilities TO

The childrens bureau of the United States department
of labor, prompted by the General Federation of
Womens Clubs, has designated the first nationwide
baby week, to be observed from March to IL. Chi
cago fews years ago was the pioneer in this good
work. and last year New York and Pittsburgh got the
habit.
The purpose of a baby week is by unique and
striking methods to awaken the community to a re-
azaton of the needs of it's infant population and the
conditions under which it is being reared, and to
demonstrate in practical way what be done to
ensure larger proportion of these helpless little
creatures growing up to be useful men and women.
Three hundred thousand babies in this country every
year die before reaching the age of twelve months.
Who is responsible for this vast and pitifu tragedy?
That is the question which baby week will try to

DOOM OLE BILE SKY LAWS.

A bulletin embodying the decision of Federal
district court holding the so-caed blue sky law of
Michigan unconstitutional has been issued by the In
vestment Bankers Association of America The
Michigan Legislature in 1913 placed upon the statute
books an act regulating the sale of investment secur
ties. This enactment held unconstitutional in
1914 and the next year another regulatory meas
passed, but 1t was brought into court and
reviewed unfavorably by the judges who held
the law of 1913 invalid.
The latest decision it is believed sounds the death
knell of all attempting to regulate interstate
transactions in investment securities. Five Federal
courts have now reviewed many blue sky enact
ments and in every the act has been declared
null and void.
