Clubs Endorse
Food Saving Film

A specially designed film, preach
ing in a very telling way the Save
the Waste and Win the War gospel
that is being SO strongly advocated
by the government and all thinking
people IN the country, has been placed
in several sections Of the country. IT
a been particularly advocated by
women's clubs of the country, who
have been among the first to enter
the country wide campaign for con-
serving food and eliminating waste.
In view of existing and prospective
food shortage it Is acknowledged that
the campaign cannot be pressed too
persistently,. n the film has been
adopted as the most effective means
of reaching and impressing the indi-
vidual in our some 10000, 900 homes.
President Wilson has endorsed film
publicity, and this particular film
that is being shown in support Of the
conservation movement has, been en-
dorsed by leading spirits in the great
effort to conserve the nations food
supply, and through it's carefully cho-
sen wording and illustration is said
to be one of the most powerful influ-
ences at work in the educating of peo-
pie along these lines.

No R. c. Nurses at Front,

The chairman Of the central COM
mittee in answer to the oft asked
question from nurses: IF I am ac-
cepted as a Red Cross nurse what as
surance have I that I'll be sent to the
firing line ?" has the following to say:
No assurance at ALI for you won't
be, as a woman nurse. The pictures

Cross nurse o will never be obliged
to be close enough to the firing line
to be in danger. You are more like

Joining Yarn.

With knitting needles flying on ev-
cry side, and employed in the turning
out Of nice warm grey or blue socks,
mufflers, sweaters, and helmets, the
many women enlisted in this growing
army are constantly on the lookout
for little ways and means of simpli-
flying, and incidentally perfecting
their work. One little woman, excep-
tionally capable at welding these
knitting implements, who was round
ing into shape a most beautifully
done sock, had occasion to join fresh
yarn to the strand which she had been
knitting. and the successful way in
which it was done made those about
her who happened to be knitters in
the embryo stage, sit up and take no.
tice, and feel that they had been
treated to an exhibition Of real skill.
With a darning needle she threaded
the fresh yarn into the end of that
she was knitting with, for about the
length Of a good sized>darning needle,
and the result was a smooth unbroken
strand of yarn-no knots, or Iumpi-
ness Ill there sometimes is found in
knitted articles

The Task Ahead

It is one of the blessed functions OF
the Red Cross to pen the hearts Of
the people and bring forth the gener-
u response in money, materials and
services by which alone the distressed
a be succored.
There is no one in America who
would think Of refusing aid once the
pressed upon his mind. The difficulty
Is to make our people realize how vast,
how desperate, how terribly real is the
need. To spread the truth, to paint
the picture, to carry the appeal Of mil
lions of he suffering to U millions
living in comfort is the task Of the
Red Cross. That means 1t is the task
of everyone of US who has undertaken
to do what he can for the Red Cross.
What must be done in Northern
France is a task almost beyond human
comprehension. Imagine, il YOU can.
a country of complete devastation. NOT
a house standing, not a tool or any
disable thing left, not a tree that viii
ever bear fruit again. This. country
must be rehabilitafed, and 1t is we
who must undertake a great .part Of
the burden. Picture, too q great popu-
Elation ravaged by tuberculosis as no
people ever were before. To give aid
to them now is to save the lives OF
thousands. S.
And then Belgium! A task even
more stupendous!
These are but suggestions Of some
Of the, scenes in these regions Of. the
war. They must be effaced, just as
quickly as the armies Of the allies and
the outpourtngs from heart and purse
OF those at home can accomplish the
task.
These are glimpses OF the truths
which the Red Cross and every Red
Cross worker must set before the peo-
pie. To care for our own is but q bart
of the task. the sacred duty. That lies
before us. We must give to those peo-
pie OF our allies the means Of helping
themselves as they face the necessity
q starting life all over again. The
RED Cross is ready and will do. It's part
in just h measure that the Amerfcan
people grasp the truth and come for
ward with the necessary support

Food Sale Saturdav.

The Soldiers Aid society will hold
one Of the regular weekly food sales
on Saturday afternoon. at the Ontario
grocery. Housekeepers Of the city are
asked to remember the sale when do
ing their Saturday morning baking,
and particularly to put an extra loaf
of bread in the tins. The home
baked breads have'sbeen in great de-
mand at the sales, and the committee
in charge has been unable to solicit
enough to meet the calls. Just an
extra loaf put in with the regular
baking on Saturday will mean a good
bit more in the treasury of the society.

GAMBLER FIGURES
The PEOPLE IN

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. Eff the city
of Atlanta's income is not sufficient to
pay operating expenses, which sub
stantially is the fact and if the people
are not willing to take out of their
rockets to increase the city's income,
which Enthusiastically is the fact, then
the city is under no obligations to
LuiId the school houses or operate the
swimming pools or pave the streets or
enlarge the hospital facilities for which
the people are clamoring.
That's the way Asa G. Gambler, At
lantas new mayor, sizes up the situa-
ton. and that's what he told the f.
nance committee of general council
yesterday afternoon, when they had
tried to bring the city's expenditures
within the city's income and failed.
An increase in the tax rate being out
of the question for this year, and an
increase in the water rate, apparently
being hopeless because the board OF
water commissioners, who fix the wa
ter rate, are afraid of public protest,
there is nothing for the city to do, the
mayor told the finance committee, but
to cut appropriations for all depart
ments until the apportionment sheet Is
made to balance.
Mayor Gambler is very religious
man and a great reader of the Scrip
lures, and frequently in his converse
ton and public utterances he quotes
from Holy Writ.
Put the knife to appropriations and
keep your consciences void OF offense"
re told the committee

NEW LAW IS GOOD
STEP TO THE FROM

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan, lin spite Of
the fact that 1t contains a good many
loopholes through which it can be
evaded, Georgia's new compulsory ed
ucation law which became effective on
the first of the year is gnerally regard
ed by educational authorities. includ-
ing officials of the state and Atlanta
school departments, as a step in the
right direction and one which will ev-
entually lead to thoroughgoing law
as good as any in the country.
The law provides that children be
tween the ages of eight and fourteen
years of age shall attend school not
less than four months in each year. i
exempts children whose parents are in
destitute circumstances, exempts those
whose services are needed for farming
emergency, and exempts the physically
and mentally incapable.
The local school authorities are
empowered to pass upon the validity of
lease for exemption.
While the law is mild first step, 1t
at least withdraws the state Of Georgia
from her race with Alabama to see
which one should be the most illiterate
state in the union.
