somewhat darker above with scattered,
fine, yellow hairs on each segment.
The larva begins folding the leaf
when about two weeks old. This is
done by spinning fine silken threads
across a portion of the leaf near the
edge, each strand being shorter than
that preceding. This procedure grad
ually draws the leaf over. The folded
portion of the leaf is then made fast
to the leaf proper by shorter strands
of silk. Within this shelter the Iarva
feeds, skeletonizing the portions of the
leaf within reach.

PATRIOTISM AND BABIES

How the strength OF the nation is
being impaired by the conditions
which make babies sicken and die.
and what some 1000 communities
have done to awaken interest in the
conservation of the youngest citizens
are briefly reviewed in a new bulle-
tin on Baby Week Campaigns which
Nas just been issued by the Chill
dren's Bureau of the U. S. Depart
ment Of Labor.
Approximately one in 10 of all the
babies in the United States dies be-
fore completing IL months of life.
and the children's bureau says:
1T was once thought that high
infant death rate indicated greater
degree of yigor in the survivors.
Now it is agreed that the conditions
which destroy so many of the young
est lives of the community must also
result in gripping and manning
many others and must react unfav-
orably upon the health of the entire
community"
Two thousand one hundred COM
munities have reported to the chill
dren's bureau the details of Baby
Day or a Baby Week, by which they
called attention TO the need of pro-
tecting their babies Ingenious de-
vices for exhibits, new methods of
distributing pamphlets on baby care.
ways in which information on local
conditions was secured and pub
lished, and other interesting features
from these local reports are de-
scribed in the bulletin as suggestive
for those who are planning a similar
campaign.
The bureau says: Not all of the
POO communities reporting a Baby
Week campaign in 1916 may find it
wise to repeat the celebration in
1917; but the United States includes
14,1S6 Incorporated cities. towns.
and villages, and it is doubtful if
among the thousands which have
never had a Baby Day or Baby Week
there is single town or village
which would not profit from such a
campaign"

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR

Within "A few hours unless mir
acle should happen, the United
States will be AT war with Germany.
The moment war is declared, the
time for differences of opinion VIII
have passed and the time for united
action will have come. It matters
not with which of the belligerent ma
lions we may have sympathiZed in
the past; it matters not whether we
have approved or disapprOved of
President Wilson's policy; it matters
not whether we have believed that
war could and should have been
avoided it matters not whether we
have regarded preparedness as
preventative or provocative of war;
the only thing which counts is that
war has come and that the govern
ment needs and is asking for our
support.
3 The duty of every American cit
izen is plain, To the prosecution of
this war we must solemnly and
eheerfully pledge our lives, our prop
erty and our sacred honor, not in a
spasm of enthusiasm, but with full
realization that each one will be
called upon and must stand ready to
make very great sacrifices. The cloud
which at first appeared no larger
than a mans hand, quickly devel-
oped into a terrible tempest. No one
can tell into what complications this
war will lead us, how long it will
last, or what a toll of blood, money
and suffering it will entail.
The test has come which will dem
onstrate whether the United States
has deteriorated into a money grab
bng, ease loving nation, too selfish
and intent upon material gain, TO
make the heroic sacrifices necessary
to defend their flag against the as
saults of any and ali foes and to
fight to the bitter end to yindicate
principle. The flag is calling us and
the way in which we respond to that
call will determine in a large meas
ure whether or2not universal mill
tary training viii become neces-
sary policy and whether or not for
eign powers viii hesitate in the
future TO disregard our rights. II
the nation answers the call as one
man and demonstrates that despite
the differences of race, of religion
and of political opinions the people
are solidly united in their loyalty
and readiness to give the last drop
OF their blood and the last dollar Of
their possessions in defense of our
institutions, then the argument that
universal military training Is a ne
cessity will be swept aside and no
foreign power will ever dare to IN
cite our righteous Indignation. ii.
on the other hand. there is a dearth
of volunteers to defend the flag. a
division of sentiment among the peo-
pie, and a dilatory and half-hearteG
support of the policy OF the adminlg-
tration, then the need of system Of
universal military training will be
come self evident aud foreign pow
ers viii not hesitate 10 pursue their
selfish ends in oouysmptiods disro-
gard OF the protests of our govern
ment.
The flag Is calling 10 each man.
