Certain United States senators from southern
states are considering a movement to suspend
the child labor laws, on the ground that seective
service will take many thousands of men from
the factories.
Let us not become so warlike that we will sac
rifice the big progressive reforms at which we
have arrived after years of thought and discus
sion, WITH sometimes, good deal of hair-pull-

Q.-Please suggest some
appropriate games to be
played at church social
attended by young men and
women. Il. X.
A social admits Of n
great variety of entertainment.
You can give the affair a special
name, such as a Poverty" or
High Cost of Living" social, and
ask the guests to dress in accord
with the name. Old-fashiOned
supper will keep things lively.
Or the committee In charge can
arrange a storytelling program,
taking care that only those who
can tell a story well are called
upon. Refreshments and music
will complete the program.
