Gov FOss, the munition maker, is out
for prohibition. His men do not make
shells fast enough to suit him. His
argument is good for Foss, but is it
good for the men, or should FOss or
his kind be the guardians of the mo-
rails or behavior or their employees
when off duty? If he cannot make
them obey him now, how would it be
possible to have prohibition when so
many that are not bOssed by the
Fosses, ETC., are lawed into it against,
their wishes.
If the munitiOn makers of the wet

Frequent Standardized Re.

Chapters.

The American Red Cross has com
pleted plans for securing frequent
standardized reports from all of its
$500 Chapters as TO their financial
transactions and membership.
Under the new system OF decentral-
lied administration recently adopted
under the direction OF Harvey D. Glib.
son, General Manager OF the Red
Cross, the Chapters will report In de-
tail every month to the thirteen Di.
vision Managers, who in turn will
summarize the records Of their re-
spective Divisions and report to Ma
tional Headquarters. All OF the work
formerly handled by the Bureau Of
Membership at Washington will now
be divided between these thirteen Dl.
vision Headquarters, at each of which
prominent business man, volunteer
ing his service, is in charge.
A uniform system Of chapter &C.
counting has been devised by the Blu.
reau Of Standards, headed by Fred
erick p. Small, assistant to the presi.
dent OF the American Express Co.
While chapters which have already in
operation satisfactory system OF &C.

the new method, which is simplifed

"The Great Richards" will occupy
the Hippodrome stage the first three

My son. a soldier. sailed for France

And 1. his mother, wait long and pray
That God will give him victory
And bring him safely back to me.
His sweetheart, too. waits there beyond
the hill
While evening falls. but twilight lin
gers still;
To her it seems their parting's bitter
gall
But she forgets he is his mothers all
I picture him a little. boy. at play
And then the stalwart man he is stood
today;
I see him hurt in battle grim
And whisper mother words to him.
Tomorrow to his sweetheart I shall go
To comfort her, whose suffering
know,
But, secretly, I'll pray him guidance
on;
I miss him: But God. what if he had
not gone!
