With the Exception of a Few Who Are
 to Remain for Two Weeks.

London, April 3, 3.35 p. m-With the exception of a few men who have agreed to remain for two weeks, be- cause they have been working where the German armies are now actually in operation, and Assistant Director Prem tiss Grey and three accountants, who have been breaking their Spanish and Dutch successors into the work, all the workers of the American commits sion for relief in Belgium are now either in Switzerland or on their way there. Including those still in Brus- sells under the existing arrangements. all the American relief workers will be in Switzerland by the end of April

Women Night Workers in connectiout

This is the account of her day that one Connecticut night worker has given: "I leave the factory at six o'clock, go home and get the break fast After breakfast I go to bed and elecp until 1t is time to get up and get the dinner. After dinner go e bed again and try to sdleep. but day sleep is not like night ht-sleep. and l wouldn't do it if it were not for the children"
 It is easy to see that day-sleep can't be refreshing for a woman who must go into a poorly ventilated. light bed- room separated from the rest of the house only by thin partition walls, hot in the summer with the noises of the street coming in whether the win dows are open or shut. Particularly Is this true when she must get into a bed that somebody else has just got out of as is usually the case with the married women.
 The average sleep of the night work CTS is about four and one-half hours according to the reports of various in- vestigations. The reason usually given by the women who are willing to work at night is that it gives them time to work by day too. Ignorant workers think that they can take better care of their babies if they are away at night and at home during the day. They do not krow that children of ex- hausted workers are below the normal in size and weight. For this reason Germany prohibited night work for women in 1911.

GREAT PATRIOTIC MASS
 MEETING IN CHICAGO
Financial Assistance to the Allies Ad-
 vocated by Henry L. Stimson.

Chicago, April 3.-The second great patriotic mass meeting in Chicago since the break with Germany was held here tonight. Addresses were made by Henry L. Stirnson, former secretary of war. Rear Admiral Robert D. Peary and Louis N HammerIing, president of the American Association of Foreign Language Newspapers.
 Mir. Stimson asserted that the Unit ed States should first lend financial assistance to the allies. for in. that way the nation is prepared; next with men as soon as they can be prepared.
 T have heard it said that our part fin this war Is only to furnish money. What an ignoble proposal exclaimed MT. Stimson. After all we have said about Wall Street and the money power in time of peace. to propose to hide behind their skirts in time of war. Unless all signs fail there is mans job before this country in this war, and let us face it in mans way. As soon as it can be prepared let us send an e0psditionary force Of regulars and volunteers to France. Let us show that Americans can die for democracy as well as Frenchmen."

SHE HAD MAYNARD DAUGHTER
Neighbor Was Surprised When She Found Cause of Severe Rebuke
 Administered by Mother.

A lady living in a large apartment house relates the following:
 'T had occasion one day to visit the apartment of neighbor. Such grave and earnest tones of remonstrance reached my ears, as I approached my friends room, that hesitated about intruding. I found her winsome young daughter with her, and the mother had evidently been rebuking her. for the girls face was flushed, and there were tears in her eyes.
 Come in," said my friend. 'I have finished what I was saying to Jenny, and I hope she will remember my wishes"
 "Ah, these children - these chill. dren !" thought to myself.
 T have just been telling her." con- tinued my friend, "that she must not wear her evening gloves when she goes shopping in the morning. In the first place. it is not genteel; and in the second place, 1t is extravagant."
 Her evening gloves! And yet, as- sure you. her tone and expression, and the impression made on the child, would have befitted a serious wrong doing-one that had issues in time and eternity.

CUTTING HEDGES ON CORNERS
Obstruction Is Menace to Motorists in That 1t Shuts Off View of Ap-

Along with the better roads that the farmers are achieving comes the at- tendant better care of hedges, mo- ticeable almost everywhere, The fact that no road can be so good if it has an untrimmed hedge alongside it. is being generally recognized, and the further fact that hedge at cor ner is a menace to motorists in that it shuts off the view of approaching cars, is leading to the cutting of hedges at the intersections, and in many places to their elimination altogether and their replacement with wire.

 Nothing very desperate: only mak- ing love to Mrs. Merrilees. Think she'll marry him?"
 Couldn't say. She's fighty crea- ture, and Tad's tremendously amusing. What concern is it of yours?"
 "None whatever. You haven't told me what you know about him."

Never was heard of before one fine morning when we all woke up to find he be- longed. No money, so far as I know or just enough to enable him to live well without working too hard.

convicts Working on Good Road. shape and to improve them from time to time. In North Carolina, convicts have been employed on the roads since 1881, but the counties have been re. quired to hire them from the state and pay for them out of the county funds. The counties have, therefore, been par simonious in their expenditures on road improvements. Governor Bickett suggests that county commissioners be compelled to levy an annual main- tenance tax, to be spent by the state highway commission for the upkeep of the roads.
 The national committee on prison la bor has repeatedly shown the value of employing convicts in road-making. In North Carolina and other agricultural states, this method of employing the convict is particularly advantageous because of the scarcity of labor at this time.
 The war brings the matter of the employment of unskilled labor on roads before the public again. Unskilled la- bor has become very scarce and ex- pensive; yet the present crisis de mands that the roads of the country be maintained in good shape to insure rapid transmission of products. The national committee on prisons and prison labor has begun a movement for the mobilization of the convicts of the country in national and state service for the building and upkeep of good roads.
 In this effort the committee will have the hearty support of the American Automobile association through its good roads board, which includes a member from each one of the 600 odd clubs contained in the national body of car owners.

On one occasion at a banquet he had made some brilliant witticisms. A snob, thinking to humil fate him, leaned over the table to the poet and quite audibly said, in a drawl- ing tone:
