LET'S PRETEND

I name my brothers in a prayer,
Who are upon the sea,
LYNN, with brown and tumbled hnlr
LLOYD and Deak, the three.
o the days we whitfield boats
And sailed them on the seal
The sea was running past our door,
A mountain brook and clear,
And little bays we scooped and
shaped
To keep our fleets from fear,
Each bay we named; each ship we
named,
And launched 1t with cheer.
o little Whitfield boat that went
So slowly round the bend,
o happy days of make-believe!
When will this anguish end?
Tears in my eyes? 1 am not now
So good at Lets pretend"

STUDY OUR CODE

IN r. JOSEPH KALBFUS' ruling
that men, may not shoot wood
cock in Pennsylvania before
the opening of the season specified
In the State game code. notwith-
standing the fact that the federal
authorities have established n season
starting twenty days earlier, is ap-
parontiy sound. We are willing to
overlook many things to win the
war and TO keep to ourselves opin-
Ions on some matters of an essential
character in which rights are cur
tailed for the general benefit. We
can settle them after the war.
But here we have an instance
where the United States authorities
proceed to fix season for game diff
ferent from what we have specified
In our game code. Our code is the
result of many months study and
careful deliberatlon,. And II is done
without much consultation with
State authorities,
1t would not be bad plan for the
federal officials in charge of game
laws, because birds are not we'll ac-
quainted with geography and fly

code and try to help us in conserva-
ton and regulation, instead of set

are in collision with those of State

whatever to do with winning the

, fully aware that we cannot accept
the word of those who forced this
war upon US There will be no COM
promise, conversations or cove
nants with the military autocracies
who have misruled the German and
Austrian peoples, broken faith again
and again with foreign nations, in
Guiding ourselves, and betrayed every
helpless race that trusted to their
pledges.
But the Wilson League of Ma
tions will be based upon absolute
justice to everybody, including the
peoples now at war with us. The
impartial justice meted out must
involve no discrimination between
those to whom we wish to be just
and those to whom we do not wish
to be just says President Wilson.
1T must be a justice that plays no
favorites' There is fair and
square offer to the enemy peoples.
Get rid of oyru governments that
we cannot trust, or compel these
governments to give us binding
guarantees, and the peace desired
and imposed by the Allied nations
will not be a punitive peace; a peace
which will work wrong to conquered
people; an Alsace-Lorraine peace; a
peace. 1t will be a just peace-an
American peace-a peace broadly
! based upon the peoples will in every
nation affected by it; a peace which
alone possesses the elements of per-
manence; a peace acceptable to the
peoples of the whole world.
"As it is a peoples war, it will be
a peoples peace!
1.-THE Presidents passion for plain
speech-and what better service can
any man offer the Allied cause at
this critical and perhaps perilous
juncture, on the eve of a fierce and
desperate bombardment of peace
shells than to speak plainly and
bravely leads him to suggest that
perhaps the plain people throughou
the Allied world have not always
been satisfied with the. statements o
war aims made by their leaders
And he himself would clearly relisl
little more clarity. Common
thought, he says, does not express
itself in terms of territorial ar
rangements and divisions of power.
So he expresses the hope that the
leaders of the governments Wltr
which VIC are associated will speak
as they have occasion, as plainly al
I have tried to speak If, on the
other hand, they believe that the
President is wrong, he clearly in
vites open criticism. Obviously the
terms of this peoples peace are tc
be discussed publicly before the peo,
pies affected, and not by diplomats
behind closed doors.
"It will be universally hoped thai
the Presidents invitation Is .ac'
cepted. The chief reason for such
an acceptance is no trivial desire
that Americas lead be taken, but

Shall We Kill the Calf?
By. J. OGDEN ARMOUR. Chairman Food, Fuel and Conservation
Committee. Illinois State Council Of Defense

There is a calf problem in this country and it has not been solved
by the plea to the American housewife to stop buying veal Nor would
a law stopping the butchering of calves present the solution.
More calves were slaughtered during the past year than any previous
year. Thousands upon thousands of young animals capable of being devel-
oped into good beef at a profit were vealed. Millions of pounds of meat
were thereby wasted. Whether the waste was actual or theoretical, this
fact stands out and stares us N the face: The present world meat shortage
Nigh. have been considerably aneyiated had a wiser policy in the han
ding of calves prevailed during the past years.
There are two general kinds of calves and they require totally diff
ferent treatment. There is no excuse for the slaughter of beef calves
and there Is no justification for the maturing of all dairy calves. The
problem is to raise all beef calves to, matunty and to prevent the waste
of food by extended feeding of excess dairy calves. 1t is a waste of food
to raise dairy calves that are not to be kept for dairy purposes. There
is just as much need for s~laughtering excess dairy calves when they reach
the veal age as there is for encouraging the farmers to mature their beef
calves.
1t is difficult to discuss calves without touching ON baby beef. Baby
beef Is economic from every angle. A great many of the beef calves which
were sent to the Fort Worth and Kansas City markets during the past
year we're of the type that would pay if matured as baby beef. They aver
age around three hundred pounds, and in the hands OF, capable farmers
who had the necessary feed available, they could have been made into
eight hundred to one thousand pound meat animals before they were two
years old and at less cost than three years ods, because young animals
will make flesh out of a greater proportion of their feed than will older
animals.

the banks of the streams. With the
melting of the sno and ice In the
spring, all of this filth will be washed
into the streams and carried TO u
waterworks. This Will test the filter
plants to their capacities, many of
which have too small a margin to care
for an excessive flow of filth. Break
downs will occur and the people must
be prepared TO protect themselves by
boiling water for domestic purposes
upon the first indication Of trouble
with their local water supplies.
In view of the above, the question
ought TO arise in the peoples minds,
with all the money that is being spent
in the identifying of our cities, wheth-
er or not Ii would not be wiser to use
this money for the charging and i'm
proving of the publication plants so
that our waters may be safe, and wait

the young population and to conserve

Washington's Death Was
Caused From Diphtheria
According to Physicians

In most histories it is stated that
George Washington died from pneu-
monia or quinsy, but DR.. J. A. Nydeg-
ger of the United States public health
service sends to the Medical Record
n letter written by DR.. Cullen Dick of
Alexandria, Va, on January 10, 1900,
which shows that she undoubtedly
died of diphtheria."
The letter %recounts the circum-
stances of Washington's last hours. the
consultations of the physicians in at
tendance, of whom Doctor Dick, the
writer of the letter, was one, and tells
how Dick urged hat the sufferers
trachea (windpipe) be cut open so as
TO permit him to breathe. The other
doctors would not consent to this.
They had bled their august patient In
vain, and would not eve give a name
to thu disease from which he was dy-
ing. 1t appears that Doctor Dick was
reluctant to acknowledge that there
had been an outbreak of Group in
Alexandria, and he would use only the
term "infiammatory quinsy" for that
with which Washington was afflicted.
Doctor Dicks description of the dis
ease, to which he proposed to give the
name "cynanche laryngea," was one of
diphtheria he did not use that word
perhaps because Ii had not yet been
invented.

APPEALS TO ALL
TO RAISE CHICKS

In line with the big campaign TO con
serve food that is being conducted by
the food administration, the United
States department of agriculture is
making Il direct appeal to every family
to produce food in so far as 1t can.
j. w. Kinghorne of the federal de-
partment of agriculture is In charge of
the middle Western states in the gov
ernment's nationwide campaign to
stimulate poultry production, with
headquarters in Chicago.
In an interview Mr.. Kinghorne made
the following statement outlining the
nations needs and the big aid city and
suburban jewellers can give in supply
ing them:
I'm hundreds Of ammunition plants
in various parts of our country skilled
mechanics are working day and night,
turning out shells to pave the way for
democracy.
Contrast this with the possibility of
every city and suburban family that
has the available ground establishing
another form Of munition plant to pro-
duce shells filled with a most valuable
and nutritious food. In other words,
producing eggs.
1.-THE part that the American hen
can play in winning this war can be
materially increased by the establish
ment of thousands of backyard poultry
plants all over this country. That
sffnnd will win Tho xx-orss 4. I-o,,~ht 10
fore our attention daily, and the rea-
son why food can and will play such an
important part is because 1t is just as
necessary and important rs ammuni-
ton to obtain ultimate victory.
THAT poultry and eggs can be pro-
duced more quickly and by a larger
number Of people than any other form
of animal food is the a~ll-important rea-
son why Uncle Sam is making a ma
tional effort and a strong appeal 10
every city ard suburban dweller to
produce poultry, and especially eggs.
1.-THE equipment for such an enter
prise need not be large or costly. A
lot 25x30 feet is ample TO accommodate
Il flock of twelve TO twenty-five hens,
which should produce sufficient eggs
for the average family. BY building a
simply constructed poultry house out
of dry goods or piano boxes. and sup
plementing the regular feeds with
table scraps. eggs can be produced at
but little cost. Thus the backyard
flock will not only help in reducing the
cost of living and make possible strict
ly fresh eggs, but at the same time IL
will fill n national need as a source of
food production"

new COAT OF MAIL
Entire TUNES of furnished Silver,
Dropped From Neck to Knees.
Warrior-Like Corsage Is Embroidered
With Pearls, BriIIiants and Flashes
of SteeI-Jewel Headdress.

Not only Cheruit, but many other
French ~dressmakers, nave lent their
ear to making a pronounced fashion
out of silver tissue. Two years ago,
observes a prominent writer, we grew
excessively weary of evening gowns
made Of superimposed pieces of tulle
on q metallic foundation, and wien the
thought of silver and gold tissue pre-
sents itself as a fashion, we turn away
from it in a petulent manner.
But wait! This revival of a coat of
mail for women, the warriors uniform
Of ancient days which no modern fight
er would touch, is another and q more
pleasing thing than the evening gown
of metallic cloth.
Entire tunicS, in the twelfth CEN
fury fashion, are made of furnished
silver dropped from neck to knees, or
longer, over skirts OF blood red or mid
night blue satin or velvet. Except for
the costliness of the material, the tu-
mics have all the simplicity of primi-
tive dressing. Their introduction into
the early spring fashions has brought
about a quantity Of silver used in ev-
cry way.
Nine. Simone of the Theater An
tome in Paris, is wearing, L hear, a
wonderful gown which is being copied
for this country. 1t is Of silver cloth
faced with red, hanging in panels OF
the ground over a slim, tight skirt that
clings to the figure as she walks. The
warrior-like corsage is embroidered
with pearls, b~rilliants and flashes of
cut steel. To it she adds a warriors
headdress made of the same jewels as
In the corsage and mounted on silver
cloth.
Wherever silver can be f1icked in
and out of q frock to enliven Ii, the
designer loses no chance of trying out
her ingenuity through this channel.
When she abondons the Russian blouse
of gold and bronze metallic cloth,
which drops over a skirt of bronze
satin, she takes the same material and
uses 1t n bands, cuffs and high, wrink-
led collars that enclose the chin like
q fence.
1t is q strange idea, this bringing
out of q new coat of mail for women
as the spring approaches. Is 1t a rec
ignition of their first victory toward
suffrage and the fact that they may
be counted as warriors today in civic,
national and war work?
