Death has robbed me of my dear wife
Whom loved so dear
1t was Mable, yes, dear Mable,
God knows that can't help but shed a tear.
Mable am so sad and lonely
Since you from me have gone,
And it seems there is pleasure
In this dreary old world for me.
Home is sad, oh, God how sad.
Lonesome and lonely nobody knows;
Sometimes | think hear her sweet voice
Saying come and go with me.
Dear Mable it isn't the one that sits and thinks
That is the purest in heart
You are loved you lived,
God called you home to rest,
He knows all things best.
| never can forget your smiling face
While in this sad world | stay,
When God is done with me earth
Meet me, dear Mable, meet me on the way
BY HER LOVING HUSBAND, HARRY w. OGG.
Peaceful be thy rest, dear Mable,
A dear loved one laid to rest
That | shall never forget
Thy smiling face.

WEAKLING WARN OF DANGERS
I'm FUTURE.

Regrettable as are the large num-
bars of weaklings encountered in the
phvsicaI examinations under the
draft" said Adjutant General Henry
M. Warfield they convey to us a les
son which we must properly grasp,
and after grasping it, we must pro-
coed to profit by it. That lesson is that
we must by physical training, begun
at once, prepare our boys who II not
trained, will develop into Weakl1ngs,
to be strong, hard men, not for mill
tary service alone, but in order that
thew can successfully cope with the
strains of modern existence and COM
petition in ell activities Of life.
The military branch of the govern
ment has been most grievously dis
Amounted in the physical failures
Fxnerts had calculated that about 81
nor cent of the men drafted would be
physically fit. Instead the number Is
under 40 per cent. The sad lesson is
brought home to us in most strlk-
ing manner that we have neglected the
health of our boys. We have committed
a national crime We have been re-
creant to our duties as parents.
I'VE must at once reform our whole
system with view to building up the
bodies of our youth. The beginning
must be made in our schools, public
and private, and the process kept UP
through all the courses until the
youth, when a grown man, will be
turned out as a finished product
physically as we'll as mentally we
could. if we would, and we learn many
things from Germany, and one of them
is physical training by which its ma
tional efficiency has been developed
We must start with the child in the
schools. If he has any physical defects
they must be eliminated at once to
prevent the wrecks sure to come later
There are many ailments, simple al
first, which can be cured with proper
treatment in their early stages. While
we have visiting nurses in our public
schools, they have no power to compel
parents to have defects in their chill
dren promptly eliminated. From "A to
is there should be rigid physical cour-
ses in our schools. Our teachers
should be as thoroughly trained in
these as in mental courses.

trust that | shall see the day when
at Camp Meade will be 10000 young
men every year, with other similar
camps all over the country in opera
ton. In view of the large expenditure
by the state government in clearing
the site and in view of the far larger
expenditure by the federal govern
ment, we Marylanders should leave no
stone unturned in order that we may
save this camp after the war for the
training of our boys, that the weak
lings, instead of being far in the ma
iOrity, may be reduced to minimum
and generations for all time developed
to meet the onslaughts Of the daily
struggle in all occupations for ex-
istence, a struggle which will become
more acute and harder with the com

Used for evening gowns.
The American manufacturers are
quite certain that somber tones in fab
RIGS will prevail after the summer.
They think that the state of war will
result in the choice by u women of
sober clothes, even though they may
be expensive one France, 1t is true,
went in almost Historically for dull
clothes even before a single batch of
wounded was brought home, but nei-
Their England nor Canada cut out the
buying of colOrful clothes, nor did the
women of those countries seem to
think 1t was necessary to economic.
The English department shops, for in
stance, had all they could do to sup
ply the immense demands Of the thou
sands Of women who came into money
suddenly through the high wages paid
their husbands or their W suddenly
discovered ~wage-earning capacity.
There is every reason to suppose
that when the first excitement of war
is over our women will go on buying
the kind of clothes they prefer, but
the manufacturers have decided that
it is best to look forward to soberer
colOrs than we have worn.
Will Silks Grow In Strength
Another question important to the
people who sell apparel has to do with
silk. We have been wearing it reck-
lessly, and without regard to the fact
that we could have cotton. All classes
have INDUCED in silk weaves for every
kind of, garment, and the majority
seems to have forgotten that in the
near past only those with fine incomes
INDUCED in that luxury, and eve they
guarded their silk things.
1t Is believed, however, by those who
balance conditions, that the American
woman can continue to indulge her
self in the wearing of silk because
wooden will be needed by our govern
ment or n across the sea. Cotton
things are expensive and will become
more so, because the raw material is
sorely wanted by all countries. So
it may turn out to be silk for econ
omy's sake. There is also reason to
believe that satin and velvet will be
in strong demand for the winter.

were triced up above and around a
picture of Washington, and he had
painted a majestic eagle, with light
nings blazing from his beak and his
foot just clasping the whole globe,
which his wings OvershadOwed. The
dear old boy saw my glance, and said,
with a sad smile, Here, you see, 1 have

Six Shades Of Red to Lead, It Is
Officially Announced.
SOMBER TONES May PREVAIL
Manufacturers Think War VIII Cause
American Women 70 Choose Dull
Clothes Though They May
Be Expensive.

New YOrk.-The manufacturers are
exhibiting their usual interest in the
colors which may come into fashion
next autumn.
To the layman, this fOrehandedness
seems to be vitality wasted, but the
man behind the business knows that
now Is the appointed hour to look with
s%harpened eyes into the near future.
Merchandise is q %stupendous bulk
of material that quickly goes into profit
or loss. 1t makes or mars a merchant
and affects thousands who W to his
c~leverness their chance to live in COM
fort. II he does not look ahead with
an eye and mind trained to take into
account every minor and major hap
pening, and every shadow of coming
events, he goes down into debt and
carries the thousands with him. When
those who are more interested than
ever before in the production of wom-
ans apparel because of the strain
caused by the war and the feeling of
false economy, say among themselves
that this color and that fabric will
have no chance for popularity next
winter, then they decide a momentous
issue.
They realize that the public must be
induced to buy while the buying is
good; while it can make use Of the
pieces Of merchandise that exist and
which may o cease to be worth
while. The public, itself, wants to
know the prospects for the success of
every garment. If its service is to be
of short duration, then wisdom dictates
that 1t must be made to yield every
Ounce of service now.
Many Of us would willingly buy a
garment, or a piece of cloth, If we
were candidly told that 1t would not
serve us long, but that 1t would last
for another three months, giving that
as the reason for It's reduction from
the original price. But we feel cheat
ed and Inundated when, after buying
something that was supposedly rising
up the hill of popularity, we find that
1t is quickly going down hill.
Weary Quickly Of Clothes.
Most of us are gullty-if crime 1t
be-of wearying of what we possess
in the way Of clothes before they have
given us value for money expended,
and we willingly give them up under
the pressure of an excuse that will
satisfy our conscience. If we buy
often and without undue expense, we
right happily fling away the purchase
when its time comes to go.
1t is this psychological truth that
lies down deep in the spirits Of the
majority, that makes 1t possible for
the department shops to reap a snug
fortune each season out of the mod
lshly cut and cheaply priced garments

The hue and cry raised against this
national practice by those who are
always trying to adjust the lives Of
the -wage-earners for them from the
viewpoint Of the n~onprOduclng con
sumner, is merely sending sound into
air. It is running against the very
