The Municipal Building Enlists
Continued from Page Three

England have purchased considerable
quantities of these supplies, and, at the
request of France, the Health Depart.
ment sent one of its psychologists to
the Pasteur Institute in Paris to
teach the American system of culturing
vaccine.
The medical staff of the Health De.
partment will be utilized. not only in at.
tending to the health and sanitary con.
dition of the troops, but also in ascer-
tanning the physical qualifications Of
men seeking to enlist in the army and
navy. The medical inspectors who now
visit the schools and private homes Of
the city, by serving overtime, can also
serve in a military capacity. In Belle
vuc Hospital and the allied hospitals of
he city and the Charities Department
training schools for Red Cross nurses
have been organized.
In the Department of Correction
considerable help can be secured from
the prisoners in the way of manual
labor. Many of the inmates confined in
the Branch Workhouse on Riker's Island
are under sentence for minor offences,
and during the summer season can be
quartered in tents, while the peniten-
tiary and workhouse on Blackwell's
Island can be utilized for serious Of
tenders against the United States gov
eminent.
This branch of the city government
is especially we'll trained in analyzing
the personnel of the municipal employees.
They know the exact capabilities Of
every man and woman on the city pay
rolls, and in addition they have in their
archives valuable information regard
ing the qualifications of thousands Of
others who are applicants at the present
time, or who have been applicants in the
past, for city positions. This, of itself
will be of great assistance to the recruit
ing officers, and by working in perfect
accord with these officers the commits
sion, by its long experience, can lessen
the difficulties of investigating the de-
STABILITY or the undesirability of would
be soldiers or sailors. The Importance
of the commission in this respect is APP
parent.
There are other departments and bu-
reaus of the city that are planning to be
useful to the country, but those men,
toned constitute the main activities Of
the municipal government They clearly
show that Father Knickerbocker is
doing his ''bit."

tie work. One said, on the contrary,
that it would be unjust and migrate
full to withhold the vote; another that
he could not raise his voice against
granting recognition to women, who
have suffered and died for their coun-
try. even if he still held anti-suffrage
views, which he did not.
The other point is that while women
do really value the work of women in the
home, men are much more impressed
by their work outside of the home.
Generations of women can perform
their traditional duties without making
one convert, but as soon as women APP
pear in munition factories and field hos
pitfalls men become persuaded of their
worth and give them the ballot.
France is promising women the mu-
nicipal vote.
Russia is giving universal suffrage
England is giving full enfranchise-
ment to her women.
Canada has enfranchised the women
Of five provinces since the war.
We fear these countries do not read
their New York Times with sufficient
care, or else they would know that in
any time of crisis, like tariff revision,
currency bill, or war, no legislative body
should concern itself with trivial
question like woman suffrage.

power of war craft could be concentrated in
little lS-foot diameter turret. Each of these
types of fighting craft (which completely reyo-
lutonzed naval architecture was distinctly
the product of American naval genius-the
Monitor with its revolving turret being the
invention of John Ericsson, and the Merrmac'
with the slanting sides of her casemate, being
nothing more than an elaboration of Thomas
Gregg's patent in 1914.
Since March 9, 1862, naval architecture has
followed the lines of the Monitor and Merrimsc
in modified or elaborated forms. Writing IN
1885, an English Admiralty expert declared
1T is of historic interest that the modern iron
clad, with its turrets and massive plates, had
its root idea in the famous monitors built by
Ericsson for the United States government
who sought to combine invulnerability with
very heavy ordnance. Ericsson gave
the cue to naval designers all over the world
and his elementary principle has only been DE-
yeloped and modified during the years tha'
have lapsed.'
While Germany. in the last few years mas
seized the submarine idea and run away WIN
it," it remains fact that American naVS
genius was the first to demonstrate the prae
tcabilty of undersea navigation under aetuS
war conditions. David Bushnell, in the ke'o

C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug
store man, Give me a quarter
OF an ounce OF freesone." This
will cost very little but is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or
soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether
compound applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn should re-
lieve the soreness instantly, and
soon the entire corn, root and all,
dries UP and can be lifted out
with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet
Of corns was introduced by a Gin
cinnati man, who says that, while
freezone is sticky, II dries in a
moment, and simply shrivels up
the corn without ming or
even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin.
Don't let father die Of infec-
ton or lockyaw from whiting at
his corns, but clip this out and
make him try It.
