A provision of the Naval Approprf
alton Bill provides for the appoint
ment of one hundred enlisted men an
nually as midshipment at the Naval
Academy instead of twenty-five. In
speaking of this provision Secretary
Daniels said: This opens more doors
OF advancement, promotion and oppor-
tunlty to the enlisted personnel Of the
navy. The men who have already en-
tered the Naval Academy from the
ranks have demonstrated the wisdom
of appointing those who have had ac-
tual experience on battleships. As
plrlng young men will, in great num-
bers, enlist in the navy because of the
larger opportunity for realizing their
hopes to become naval officers. This
incentive will powerfully attract to the
service many of the most ambitions
and capable youths of ten countrvs

THE STATES-GRApHIC
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
STAND TOGETHER.


The action Of twelve United State
senators in conducting a filibuster dun
ing the closing hours of congress tina
defeated the will Of the president. a
overwhelming majority of congress
and like proportion of the people o
the nation, will have at least one bene
fetal result, despite the fact that tn
act will stand out as one of he blackes
smudges on American patriotism. /
will solidify the American people be
hind the president in his determinatol
to assert the inviolability of American
life and commerce upon the high sea-
In every section Of the country men o.
every political faith have denounced
the disgraceful filibuster. Ministers
merchants, professional men, farmers
laborers, women, everywhere show 8
determination to assert for once and
all American rights upon the seas
even if it leads to the war we so ar.
IDENTIFY desire to escape. The people
do not want war if it can be honorably
avoided, but they are ready to fight
and sacrifice for the retention of their
honor and their rights of life and COM
merce, if it becomes necessary to do
so. Today there is a grim set to the
American countenance that means
stern business.
Another thing we have noted with
a degree of pride in our country. Big
business has come right to the front
in the crisis. Heads of great manufac-
turing concerns, railroad corporations,
engineering firms, all have assured the
government that their corporations and
their individual services are at the dis
posal of the government if war comes.
There is little noise or loud talk, but
everywhere a calm and infexible pur-
pose is evident. This spirit is not con-
fined to Big Business alone. Little
Business marches right up to the front
labor leaders are pledging the loyalty
and assistance of their organizations
farmers are offering both men and
foodstuffs, and women are banding to-
gether by the hundreds of thousands
in the common cause, Political con-
siderations are kicked aside, religious
zeal even urges the people to greater
fervor and patriotism. American peo-
pie are being solidifed as they never
have been before since the days of
Washington, and they are ready to
meet whatever is before them.
Again we want to remind our far
mer friends of the imperative necessi-
ty of cultvating every available foot
of ground this season. One of the first
resources to be husbanded in time of
war is food for the army and for the
civilian population Without it any
nation will be brought to its knees,
and that is a condition unthink-
able to American people. Not only
should farmers produce to the utmost,
but vacant lots in every town should
yield their quota for the common good.
Every citizen should consider it ineum-
bent upon him to do his share, and he
should do it. When this spirit ami
mates a nation of a hundred million
patriotic people it will require some
thing more than words and plots to
conquer it.
Do you own an American flag? Up
with it. Let the people see it. Let
them see what you stand for. Flags
are floating in every city and hamlet
in the country today. 1t is time to LEI
yours feel the breeze, too.

APPEAL TO WOMEN TO HELP
 ENFORCE CHILD LABOR LAW

The woman's committee of the Coun |, cil of National Defense has sent re- quests to the chairmen of the state divisions asking the women to aid the Children's Bureau in the enforcement of the new federal child labor law. which becomes effective Sept. 1.
 The women all over the country are asked to see where the children be- tween 6 and 14 years of age are, and If they are not in school, the reason for their absence,
 The woman's committee will act as vigilance committee in the interests of children and will ask each State division chairman to answer three questions. First. Are all the children between 6 and 14 in your county or school district in school? Second. How do you know? Third. Are any children in need of scholarships in order to attend school?
 This information will be filed in the offices of the woman's committee head quarters with the purpose in view of personally seeing to it that every child of school age be seated in the school room instead of in factories or busi- ness offices. The enforcement of this law has been delegated to the Chil- dren's Bureau by the secretary of labor, and the woman's committee is working in collaboration with the bureau.
 "One of the soundest of the war measures" said Miss Ida Tarbell of the woman's committee, lis the new federal child labor law This is the judgment of the committee, and as a body we will assist in the enforcement of the provisions of the bill. The committee is making an appeal to the women the country over to see that the law is enforced"

SCHOOL CHILDREN AND
 DENTISTRY

r,o New York bureau of research ds out a bulletin containing the re-
 [ ,ls of recent examination of the
 SO-s sr of 300 New York children, in
 's from IA to Is, who had just left
 a aso rublc schools in order to go to ork w It was possible to catch them tOr dental examination at the public so.ltb headquarters, after they had ssmrad their ''work certificates" The
 ..n,iration was thoroughly expert, ard there is no reason to doubt the facts reported. The children belong to tbe laborer class, very generally, snd they represented all the nation aI;tios in New York. Only IA of the 5OO were found to have sound teeth. While there were 2,S08 unsound tooth among 456 children, the exam nation showed that 2,551 teeth could | be saved by proper dentistry at this time there being only 257 teeth so far gone that they must be extracted. 0rp is not surprised to read that of tbp BOO children, only 25 had ever had any dental treatment whatever, other than extraction.
 It would be an error to suppose that tbo conditions referred to are peculiar to New York, or to cities generally. The bulletin states well known facts in pointing out that "state boards of health have found them in rural schools of Massachusetts, New York, Minnesota and Iowa, Dr. Grenfel finds them in Labrador, Superintendent Slayton finds them in Atlanta, Super ntendent Small finds them in Provi- dence the chamber of commerce finds them in Cleveland. The actual need of dentistry is fully as urgent in small cities and towns and in the rural districts. Conditions are far better than they used to be, but neglect of chidren's teeth by parents is still eX- ceedngly common
 The intimate connection between the teeth and the general health is a point that has never been sufficiently impressed upon the masses of the people. In Germany-in all such mat ters one is forever referring to Ger man example-even the insurance companies find it to their financial ad- vantage to care for the teeth of their polcy-holders, for they understand that sound teeth reduce the general amount of sickness and increase the Il chances of longevity. The movement toward dental inspection in public schools, which has already become a familiar fact in some of our more pro- gresslye cities and towns. is really an educational process of great import ahce, considered merely as a method ol instruction for the child and as a
 warning to the parents at home.

STORE WINTER SUPPLIES
Fruits and Vegetables Required During the Nongrowing Sea
 son for the Family.

A family of five, including two adults and three children under 1 l2 years of age. under ordinary living conditions, should have stored for each month of the winter season the following food supplies: one bushel of Irish po- tatoes; l-2 bushel of other root vegetables such as carrots, tur- nios and parsnips; 9 quart cans of other vegetables; and 20 quarts of canned fruit and pre- serves. These figures are based on estimates by the United States Department of Agriculture. which adds that most of this should come from the perishable products of the many home gar dens of this year.
 With these figures as & basis. 1t is thought that any family may calculate it's requirements, taking into consideration the length O. the winter season in any given locality. Thus. in the South, where food crops may be  grown in the fall, the winter al lowanee may be less than for the far North, where one must count on supplies for several months longer
 There is still time, says the department for a final drive in canning. preserving and drying. In using dried vegetables. it may be assumed that given quanti- t. of dried vegetables is equal to four times it's bulk of canned vegetables; that is, one-fourth of a quart of dry string beans when soaked over night is approxi- mately equal to one quart canned.
