For Diseases Of the Skin.

Nearly all diseases of the skin, such
as eczema, letter, salt rneum and bar
bers' itch, are characterized by an in
tense itching and smarting, which
often makes life a burden and dis

be had by applying Chamberlain's
Salve. It allays the itching and
smarting almost instantly. Many
cases have been cured by its use. For

Telephone Patience
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

War brings test of tolerance Takes away lifelong
luxuries and the patience of the individual is inevitably
strained London is getting along without private automo
bes and with few axcabs At night that great city in
darkness Some of these hardshps America will be
PEELED to undergo but the city of Washington already
have experienced effect Of the paralysis of the
telephone service Who has not within the last two months
vented his her private irritation the stupidity of
of the operators, the recurren answer Lines

precedened demand which the Government has made upon
the telephone companies additional lines the
practically all the trunks previously available really

scrbers thoughtful of this have waited patiently for ee

in order that they who most familiar with that business

Always bear in mind the wise old saying It hath not
yet been shown what we shall be-
The horse is handsomer than the mammoth The antelope
is handsomer than the horse Imperfect with his silly
top hat and his is better looking than the gorilla
the chimpanzee
The the future conqueror and ruler of the earth
will eliminate all the animals including the microbes and
germs He will make great garden of this planet iri-
gate it. pipe it, cultivate it all He viii live the mountain
tops like eagle going in his flying machine to the valleys
to cultivate the fertile soil It will be fine life and you
cannot say ofhand what kind of that future man
will be-
Our opinion that he will be extremely good thing
look at well built strong powerful head round and evenly
developed not bullying out in front sticking out behind
At birth he will have knowledge than any thus
far has possessed The average of his life viii be
hundred and forty -four years He will know WHY he was
put here and what he is going to do after he leaves here
He will not be toothless toeess, baldheaded hairless
shrinking creature pushing button and taking more
violent exercise
Something worth while ahead of Let hope that
pthecod specimens Of brutal antiquity may live in
various bodies to see the changes come.

Second in immediate and prac-
teal Importance is the provision
which the bill makes for the use
of the public school equipment "for
efforts to encourage and promote
the comforts Of men preparing
for or active in the military or
naval service Of the United
States" Recognizing the neces-
sity of wholesome provision for
the leisure of men in training, the
Commission on Training Camp
Activities has been created under
the War Department, and branch
Of this commission has been or
ganized in the District of Column
bia. There are two aspects of the
problem which confronts this COM
mission. One concerns the leisure
provision for the men inside the
camps. That need the commission
itself can well cooperate in meet
ing. The other concerns the leisure
provision for the men in the Dis
trict of Columbia outside the train
ing camps. This need demands the
adequate and systematic organiza-
ton Of communities throughout
the District, for which this bill can
alone provide. The heart of the
problem is to secure responsible
parental control and chaperonage
for the girls and young women in
their association with these home
sick young men. No substitute
can serve for the organized
chaperonage of the men and
women in the school house in each
neighborhood to look after the
welfare of their own daughters.
Then, too, it is only with such or
ganization as is provided for in
this bill that continuous community
cooperation can be secured for the
comfort of the soldiers as they 20
to the front.
The third particular need which
this bill is designed to meet is
adequate provision for community
work to increase and conserve
the food supply" No work is
needed to emphasize this war ne
cessity.
The same is true regarding the
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1917-07-10

provision made in the bill for the
use Of the school house "for CO.
operative endeavor to provide hos
pital and other necessities for the
American Red Cross service. Mr..
Henry B. F. mcfarland has Just
informed me that larger facilities
must be provided for the Red
Cross service throughout the Dis
trict than has been undertaken.
Finally, the bill makes specific
provision for the use of the school
houses "for activities intended to
enhance the vigor and health of
the people by means of physical
training and wholesome recrea-
ton" With the example of the
European nations before US, sure
ly We should take practical steps
to prevent the increase of juvenile
delinquency and the physical and
moral deterioration which has re-
suited from the drawing away of
fathers for war service every
where. To conserve the vigor and
health of the people is important
at all times. 1t is imperative
now.
There is no danger that the de-
velopment provided for in this bill
will be permitted to interfeze with
the present service of the schools
for the instruction of the children.
On the contrary, this development
will inevitably vitalize and make
more effective the whole process
of education in the District. More
over, under this bill the Board of
Education is made responsible
for the administration of this de-
velopment, and it may be trusted
to look out for the children's in
terests.
/ am sure that ! express not
only the hope of the Community
Center Committee but of all men
and women of practical mind and
patriotic impulse throughout the
District when l tell you how earn
estly hope that this war Leasure
may speedily be enacted.
Very sincerely yours,
MARGARET WOODROW WILSON.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1917-07-10

ferred in both Senate and House
to the Committee on the District
of Columbia.
This bill raises no issue con-
corning the rights of the people as
does the community forum bill
now pending. In this civic mo-
bilization bill it is recognized that
the present is not a time for en-
phasis upon rights, but is a time
for facing duty and seeking oppor-
tunity for service.
The bill is designed to empower
the Board of Education and give
it means whereby the policy which
it has adopted may be extended so
as to provide what is not possible
without this enactment-for the
use Of enough school buildings and
grounds throughout the District to
serve as adequate means for the
civic mobilization and patriotic
cooperation of the people in all
the communities of Washington.
First in importance is the pro-
vision which the bill makes for
community meetings to consult for
the common good, because first in
Importance is the vital need to
unity the mind and spirit of US all
through first-hand assembly and
conference for the support of
America and the cause of democ-
racy in the world. No doubt, you
know how throughout heroic
France the public school houses
are being made centers of common
assembly Of the citizens to develop
courageous and effective under
standing Of the problems of the
war, and how much this means for
the strengthening and support of
that brave nations soldiers at the
front. There is profound inspira-
ton in the thought that as we
gather in our common school
houses we and the people of the
first of European democracies are
finding the same means of express
ing our common devotion to the
common cause.

Washington, June %, 1917.
My Dear Mrs. Rhodes:
In the name of the Community
Center Committee, may l express
to you, and through you to the
other members of the Board of
Education, and to the Superin-
tendent of Schools, our sincere ap-
probation of the splendid way in
which you have used such powers
and authority as the Congress has
intrusted to you in making the
peoples school buildings and
grounds in the District of Column
bia available for patriotic service
by the people in this time of the
nations crisis.
You provided for the use of the
school buildings as centers for
the military registration on June
5. You have announced that the
school buildings are to serve for
the INSTRUMENTATION registration
on July Is. You have made be-
ginning of provision for the use of
the school buildings for practical
Red Cross service. And, most i'm
portant of all, in the plan that
you have adopted in the case of
the Park View organization-the
plan of appointing for service as
community secretary the person
elected by the citizens of the local
community-you have given evil
dence of the adoption of a policy
concerning the larger use of the
public school equipment which is
most democratic and consistent
with American ideals, a policy of
supreme Importance for the pres
ent need.
