Work of Committees.
The firse committee will seek heaV
ier loading, utilizing the loading ca
pacity of the cars. 1t is thought
that this will bring about increasing
business, will reduce operating costs
by reason of handling more revenue
freight per train with less dead
weight, will cut down terminal con
gestion, reduce yard expenses, and
will save power. Weekly reports on
local shipping will be prepared each
week by this committee.
The accumulation, embargo, and
delays committee, will secure infor.
nation on delays in loading and un'
loading, on accumulation, and will
submit recommendations for the plac'
ing of embargoes, if necessary.
1t will be the duty OF the car sup
ply and car shortage committee to re-
port all shortage of equipment to the
Cedar Rapids committee so that steps
may be taken to relieve the situation.

IS DOING \ HER / BIT
FOREGOING SWEETS TO HELP
., ~, BELGIAN CHILDREN.

Here is "really-truly" story, child
rem, of little girl living in oskaIoosa
and her five pennies.
Recently lady had the opportunity
to loan this little girl five cents to buy
a writing tablet for school, and when
she returned it later in the day, she
told her to keep the nickle and as she
passed the pop corn stand on the way
home to spend it there, thinking this
would please the child.
But quick as a fash she looked her
straight in the eve and said-"Why
Mrs, don't you think it would
be great deal better for me to give
this nickle to the Belgian childrens'
fund? l am sure if God looked down
on me he would be ashamed of me for
spending a nickle for pop corn at this
time of the year and during this war;
She went on to tell about the box
at Green & Bentley's where children
put their pennies to go across the sea.
Then she added: "The other day |
spent a penny for candy and after eat
ing it l felt so sad for was sure God
was ashamed of me for being so sell
fish, so took penny from my bank
and took 1t to the Penny Fund for the
Belgians and felt much happier"
She was told that her loving thought
was quite right. II all the little boys
and girls felt this way about their pen
nies what lot we could do for these
poor little children. -. ..... T.. ..g

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT

The Committee on Woman SUI
frage of the Senate has new CHAIR
man, Senator Jones of New Mexico
taking the place of Senator Thomas
of Colorado. Senator Jones is real
suffragist, who believes in the pas
sage of the national amendment by
Congress and its adoption by the
States as the slow uut sure method
of securing the privileges OF the
franchise for all the women of the
country. 1t is his intention to intro
duce the well-known Anthony amend
ment at the beginning of the extra
session, at the request of the Ma
tionaI Association, and if the new
Woman's Party can forego the pc
culiar tactics that have made more
enemies. than friends. for the suf-
frage cause, there is good prospect
that the amendment will pass both
houses of Congress by the necessary
two-thirds vote.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-"Come
what will, even the worst, those of
Irish descent in this country will not
be found among the shirkers," said
DR.. Frank NJ. O'Reilly, of Catholic Uni
versity of America, at a st. Patrick s

Casino.
The theme of DR.. O'Reilly's address
was Irish Patriotism, or a Peoples

have shown" he said. that even
though the Irish had taken sides in
regard to the European powers en-
gagged in the present war, yet all lines
OF cleavage practically disappeared
Immediately our own country became

States acted in the capacity of mere
spectator. the American of Irish in
stincts felt perfectly free to manifest
his Ie6nings toward one side or the
other. But the instant the United
states was threatened with being in
volved, the Irish in America, with one
or two notable exceptions, were con

allegiance to the Stars and Stripes"
