Employers Duty on Registration Day

THERE is one duty, in connection with
! registration Day, that rests on every
employer in Richmond and in Virginia. 1t
is to see that every man in his employ who
is within the prescribed ages has opportunity
to register. This duty is imposed by the
law. and with it goes the further obligation,
imposed by good citizenship, that the en-
ployer shall give all needed assistance to
enable his men to comply fully with the
country's mandate.
The Times-D Dispatch and other newspa pers
nave done what they could to make the Law
plain and comprehensive. and their explana-
tons will be continued. but there is much
misunderstanding still. The cmplovcr
should strive to remove this. He must dis
play an active and personal interest. He
owes 1t to himself, he owes il to his busi
ness. he owes it to his men and to his coun-
Try to see TO IL that there are no breaks
in the ranks of his Office or shop force on
tho day Of registration.
Richmond has been spared the unsecmly
and disloyal performances which have oc-
Cured in many sections OF the country.
Some discomfort there certainly is in this
city. but it affects small numbers and yields
ihtie influence. The natural leaders Of
thought and action in this community must
continue TO set Il good example. Al n time
when all should be helpful, they must be
extraordinarily helpful. 1t is their patriotic
duty, not to be blinkcd or evaded. What
the country exacts Of us all is not a mere
passive acquiescencc in it's DEGREES. but ac-
tive and whole-hcarted assistance in assur-
ing that these DEGREES are made universally
effective.
The employer, though he be himself long
past the age of service. himself must toe
the mark.

in not giving the speakers and their mis-
martyrdom.
Any attempt to exert direct influence
against registration is IL recognized offense,
punishable by q term in a Federal prison.
This crime the agitators carefully avoided
committing. but they and all their ik are
morally guilty Of a fouler crime than that
treason.

The skin is constantly renewed by the multi
plica,ion OF cells in it's deeper layer and the
pushing the older ones off. If pressure is cx-
erted against a given spot on the skin. the old.
dried-out cells are prevented from escaping
ahead of the new young ones. and crowded back
in a compact mass. The cells pile up and spread
out under the point of pressure. producing a
sor. of miniature epithelial volcano topside

IL the pressure is made by the shoe. it is a

joining toe. 1t is a scot corn. The only differ

enforcing" Health Ordinances

JUST x.hy foRd dealers are tenderly placed
on*a sort of probation year after year by
the Health Department and the Police Court
is difficult TO understand. Ordinances direct
screening against flies, insist on ordinary
cleanliness, provide for permits designed TO
guard the public and outline a number OF
other reasonable regulations for the public
health. These ordinances are, in many cases,
dfsregarded until sanitary inspectors politely
call attention to the omission.
Then, instead of reporting the offenders.
the Health Department asks them please to
obey the ordinances. as a sort of personal
FAVOR. those who do not obey are reported
after a certain interval to Police Court. and
the habit Of the court has been TO give thc
ohenders still another chameleon the prjn-
ciple that two wrongs might make a right
AND after a while summer time is over and
the fies go into winter quarters. The whole
ming has its amusing side. but it's bad for
the public health. Being patient with Tho
dealers Is being negligent Of the people.

4 volume of the poems OF Charles
Warren Stoddard. selected and edited
by Thomas Walsh. is in train for early
publication by John Lane Co. Mr.. Stod-
dard WAS hest known as n writer Of
prose sketches. Ills iourncyings car
ricd him over q goodly part Of tho
world. and his many prose books have
become classical works of travel and
description. He also wrote much
poetry, but with the exception of a
small volume which he published at
the beginning of his career. this is the
first book OF poems by him to come
from the press. Miss Ina Coolbrith.
of San Francisco. has made a COM
pletc collection of Stoddard's poems In
clippings and manuscripts. and from
this Mr.. Walsh will make the selec-
tions for the forthcoming volume.
Nothing has been so conclusively
proved by this war as the widespread
prevalence of the soldicrly instinct"

Heroes have sprung up" he contin-
ues. from all ranks and all callings-
from Diapers shops and furniture vans.
from stools in the city and looms in
Lancashire. from Durham pits and
bishops palaces. Whatever else the
war has done. it has knocked on the
head the idea that the cult of mill
tarism is necessary to preserve the soul
of courage and chivalry in a people.
We. with a wholly civic tradition. have
shown that In the hour Of need we
can draw from an indefinite reservoir
of herolsm. as splendid as anything in

the book Is published anonymously,
