permitting others to work in the
shipyards. ! should say that "A. G..

your answer to him, Miss Grey. was
exactly right Only skilled labor In
the shipyards receive S. and s. per
day. and these men for the most part
are far above the draft age and have
spent years learning their trades.
Unskilled laborers receive 1925 per
day and helpers receive $3.50. and
unless "A skilled mechanic, they are
not exempt from the draft. out of
this they buy food, clothes and pay

something wrong with the way "A.

WHAT ABOUT LITTLE GIRLS?


general at one of the big army
camps called upon the Y. w. c. A. mem
bers of the nearby town to make "A re-
quest concerning that ubiquitous genius,
flapper."
These girls come round the camps in
out. Can't you women lead them out?'
Evidently some of US elders, principally
mothers. have failed in our duty to our
girls when they were little. We ought
to have done more leading long ago.
and then the general wouldn't have had
any such ptiful problem to put to the
Y. w. C. A. workers.
II isn't much trouble to train n win
some little girl into "womanly' young
woman. She will grow up that way quite
naturally--if she is given little of the
right kind of attention. What she needs
is not discipline, il is an honest response
to the simple trust she puts in the adults
around her.
If they provide her with wholesome
amusements, she will never go away
from home in search OF forbidden ex-
element and adventure.
II is too late TO do much for the genus
which is compcating the problem of
army camps, but il is just the right
time to put all little girls everywhere
on the map with the other important
members OF the family.

Everybody is being talked about now
a-days except the little girls.
Father attracts attention because he is
paying for Liberty bonds. Mother is APP
plauded because she is saving things. Big
sister is knitting socks. Big brother is
in the army. Little brother is boy
scouting. And the baby is being con-
served so that he will surely be on hand
when democracy is finally saved.
Little sister is the only one in the
family who is being neglected So let us
stop and mediate upon little sister
minute.
Look up and down the world and
where can be found another creature so
trusting as a little girl?
She puts her faith in everybody. Her
parents, her relatives. her teacher. are
all such dear. good people
When we think of any special little girl
we always picture her skipping gaily
and lightly to meet us with arms out
stretched. making the perfect symbol of
trustfulness.
And beholding any group of these
winsome dancing fairie things. we al
ways wonder what is going to happen
to this fine faith they have in their
elders.
Well. here is something which reveals
what has happened to girls who were
innocence itself a few years ago.
