Helen Fitzpatrick
Finds Playmates Far
From Lighthouse Home

It's a far cry from the lighthouse
at Fairhaven, NJ Y, to Omaha, Neb.,
but Helen Fitzpatrick, a little girl
who lives all alone without any play
mates at the lighthouse, has found
playmates in that distant Western
City and actually plays games and en-
tiers competitions with them. This
was brought about by the Camp Fire
Girls who admitted lonely little Helen
to their Camp Fire in Omaha, and
write her enthusiastic letters about
her progress in the simple arts they
all must learn, and the honors for
which they compete.
AS life taught symbolism to the In
dams, SO the symbolism of the Camp
Fire movement is teaching real life
to its girl members. For instance,
Helen Fitzpatrick learned to press
skirt and coat; to air and make a bed;
to take care of room, including
sweeping, busting, washing windows
and caring for flowers; to take charge
of the pantry; to take daily care of
two kerosene lamps; to scrub a floor;
to take care of a baby at least an hour
day; to bait a hook, catch, clean
and cook a fish; to make a. bead-band;
and to make a ceremonial dress.
For each of these omplishments
the tasks being performed for stated
lengths of time, she was allowed to
put certain specified bead decorations

PRUSSIA FACES
REAL SHORTAGE
IN FOOD MARTS

London, March 1O.-Dr. George Mi
chaelis, the Prussian food controller
made in the Prussian Diet recently
what the Cologne Gazette calls a seri-
Gus speech on the food situation, says
a Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam.
Dr. Michaelis stated that the dis
tress was such that a more severe
state of things, especially in the large
industrial centers, could hardly be
imagined. He indicated the possibility
that all surplus stocks of grain would
De exhausted, and said that very radi-
cal measures were needed to enable
the people to hold out until next year.
I'VE have discovered in the third
year of the war" the food controller
is quoted as saying, that among all
sections of the people the general feel
ing evidenced is not one of that en-
durance for which we had hoped. This
IS human nature, but it is highly de-
piorable, and may have most serious
results.
We have not perceived in the
towns that stern supervision which is
absolutely necessary In the distribu-
tlon or foodstuffs. There has been
widespread abuse of bread tickets, en-
TAXING grave consequences as regards

PHYSICIANS ORGANIZE

Boston, March 12-Dr. Richard P
Strong, who achieved great distinction
by directing the fight against typhus
in Serbia, has accepted the permanent
craftsmanship of an organization Of
physicians and professors of medicine
and surgery formed ais preparedness

committee for national defense, of
Boston, as the body will. be known,
will endeavor to obtain recruits for
the United States army m dical corps,
the medical officers reserve corps and
the public health service. It will CO.
operate with other organizations in
co-ordinating civilian activities for
prompt mobilizations and in arranging
instruction courses in medical military
preparedness. Like DR.. Strong, who
is professor Of tropical medicine at
the Harvard medical school, many Of
those on the committee are members
Of the faculty or of higher rank in
the Harvard or Tufts schools Of medi-
cine, and the various hospitals in this
city.

illegally used on such a shocking scale
that our entire reserves were exhaust
ed. SO, when potatoes failed and
bread was ordered as a substitute,
there was none available. Flour has
been similarly reduced, owing to SINH
lar irregularities in the mills
DR.. Michaelis concluded by urging
the utmost severity to remedy the
shortening while there was yet time
Some of the mills would have to be
closed and the municipalities deprived
of their autonomous powers. Ration
ing and requistt1oning must be strictly
applied with respect to eggs, milk,
butter, fruit, and vegetables. He went
on:
I'VE are confronted with the
thought Of what would happen if this
measure also should fail, and what
grim starvation there would be if sud-
denly during the closing months Of
the economic year we should find
there was insufficiency and we could
not hold out. The ensuing misery
would be indescribable.''
The speech caused a sensation, and
the Socialist, Hufer, who followed, ac-
cording to the Rhenisch Westphalian
Gazette, asserted that the junkers
were to blame if a famine resulted.
An attempt was being made, he said,
to shift the blame on England.
1.-THE selfishness Of the agrariaps,"
he said, "is the cause of the High
prices. The war would long since
have been ended if everybody had to
suffer hunger equally The present
meat ration is insufficient. To with
hold such a necessary from the people
in the interest only Of the agrar,ur
tariff is damnable. I recall Professor

It was suggested that an agreement to that effect be made in writing and signed by all the parties involved At this juncture the gov ernment officials drew contract wit ha ciauSe attaching penalty for its breech. Everything was satisfactory to the employers including the penaltv clause. Not so, however, with the em- nloves and they refused to sign, objecting to the penaltv clause. They were ready and willing that the employers be punished in the event they broke the contract. but would not agree to apply the same penalty to themselves. Can you beat it?

SOMETHING WRONG, SOMEWHERE

Unless incontrovertible proof is brought out to show that the wrecking of so many boats this season Is purely accidental some are likely to think that there is something wrong somewhere.
 Of course it s.only hearsay. but since the Mariposa was wrecked we have been told by divers passengers that the Captain retired to his stateroom fifteen or twenty minutes before the steamer struck the rock That the pilot in charge at the time was new man. being on the second trip north on that boat in that capacity. It is further averred that ninety percent of the men making up the various crews in charge Of the boats on the Alaska run are aliens Some of them extremely pro-Germans it is said. Such reports may be mere rumors yet under the pres ent unrest we see no reason why aliens should be trusted with the lives and property of Ameri- can citizens Such condition does not obtain on the Canadian side, it is said.
 Speaking of the wreck of the Maripo5a, a man who was one of the passengers said T can- not see how it could have happened. The short space of time that elapsed between the ti-.a the Captain retired to his room and the time the boat struck the reef, did not exceed over twenty minutes The captain is not without having looked at his compass and assured himself that he was on the right course before fe retired. Granted that this was done: it t zs to me as though the pilot yeered immediately and made for the shore" Thus spoke this man.
 After having heard almost innumerable re- ports it cannot help matters to express our con- cluson. Nevertheless. in view of the circum- stances. rumors and what not and in view of the future fact that the government is operating these large vessels, we candidly beneve an inves tigation is warranted. Incidentally it might re- suit in removing suspicion that something is wrong.
