Beatrice Fairfax Writes the Problems War Workers
Especially for Washington Women.

S(H0 you believe there is
one great love in a
- woman's life?" a girl
war worker asks me.
Lovers and sceptics alike have
for centuries demanded the an
swer to this question. Have the
ages furnished it?
So far, i think, only condition
ally.
Passionate, ringing answers
there have been in plenty, but
they've been cries from individual
hearts. And one hearts truth
hasn't by any means been truth
for another.
Many wise men have argued
that love is too vast and sublime
a thing to be limited by any sin
gle personality. Love is the real
ity, they say. The man or woman
who is loved is merely the excuse
for setting love free. Love once?
Yes, bv all means, if you've a
heart big enough for loving at all.
But, by the same token, keep on
loving, even though you lose your
beloved. Love twice, thrice. Love
is as exhaustless as sunshine
And doubtless there are enough
happy second marriages, or even
third marriages. to seem to estab-
Gsh the truth of this view.
A Woman Poets Belief.
And yet there are countless low
ers who agree with Elizabeth Bar
rett Browning, the great woman
poet, whose o wn love for her poet
husband ranks among the great
loves of history, that Glove strikes
one heart"-and only one. If love
is real, insists Mrs. Browning,
neither time nor separation nor
death can lessen it, and to speak
of second love is blasphemy.
CHOSE NEVER loved
Who dream that they loved ONCE
is her final challenge.
And this is what the unhappy
girl who has written to me is her
self inclined to believe. Listen to
her story:
Three years ago, because Of my
parents disapproval, broke with
a young man. We were not en-
gagged, because my people thought
it was merely silly affair, as we
were only eighteen and nineteen
years old. However, he married
in a few months after our separa-
ton. l have Travelled a great deal
and have thought that I had for
gotten him. ! have had many men
friends and several suitors appar-
emily much more desirable than he,
and have been engaged to one man.
"But as the time for our marriage
drew near, a great fear came over

And how, after three long years,

until she finds a new love that is
stronger than the old
l do not believe that she surren-
dered her only chance Of a happy
life when, to please her parents,
she resisted her love for that nine
teen-year-old boy. On the con-
trary, it seems to me that with her
capacity for love she will IN
doubtedly in time meet some man
to whom she can give her whole
heart.
1t is, / know, a temptation to be-
lieve that a thwarted love, or an
unhappily ended love, is the only
love of ones life. It's a danger
that l think women have especial
ly to guard against. Sometimes it
affords a not unpleasant kind of
melancholy to believe that the
man we shall never see again Is

which he so proudly and periodically
wore in the defense OF liberty and
manhood. 1t seems to me that II
would make his heart bleed to have
to surrender IT, only to be salvaged
by the Government. To make him
n present of IL would not mean a
great sacrifice on the part Of the Gov.
ernment-nothing to compare with
the great sacrifice he has made for
his country, at a salary OF $50 per
month.
II there is no existing law per-
hitting the Government to provide

Congress should take steps al
once to enact such n law.

IN THIS THE TINE TO FUSS
ABOUT BABIES?

why should we fuss about babies
now? That is question which wo-
men may well be asking, for they are
busy with surgical dressings and
knitting things essential to the COM
fort of the soldiers. But the peace
OF mind of the father who is soldier
ing in France depends on knowing
that his helpless children at home are
safe. And war conditions affect chill
dren in a hundred ways. although
American children have escaped the
more startling horrors which have
darkened the lives of the children of
war ravished France and Belgium.
The Children's Bureau of the T. s.
Department of Labor has asked the
men and women who are working to
win the war not to forget the war
time needs of all of Americas chill
dren, whether their fathers are fight
ing for their country in the trenches
in France or here behind the lines
It asks that the protection given all of
Americas children be increased now
when the foundations of the country's
future strength and democracy are
being laid, for, "The health of the
child is the power of the nation" This
war time work for children is called
Children's Year. Its goal is to save
the lives of 100000 children under
five years of age during the second
year of the war. This means the saw
ing of one-third of the three hundred
thousand lives of children under five
which are lost every year in the Unit
ed States. Authorities agree that at
least half of these deaths could be
prevented if knowledge of the best
modern methods of child care and ia
cilities for following out the direc-
tons given by skilled specialists were
accessible to all children instead Of
to comparatively few. If America can
prevent even part of these deaths she
will have demonstrated her ability TO
get for her children a better chance Of
life and health.
England and France have realized
that work for better children is vital
war work and England has proved
the value of what she has done by
bringing down her baby death rate to
the lowest point in her history. Their
achievements are an inspiration to the
eleven million women of the Woman
Committee of the Council of National
Defense who have determined that
100000 children's lives shall be saved
in Children's Year. The Woman's
Committee now has $3.50 local units.
A constantly increasing number of
these units are undertaking to for
ward work that will enable commun-
tiles to give their children a better
chance.

WORKING MOTHERS IMPERIL
CHILD LIFE

Infant mortality is closely related
to women in industry, according to
opinions of trained investigators who
are preparing to safeguard human
life during the period of wartime
demands on labor
DR.. Jessica b. Pexotto, head of the
Department of Child Welfare of the
Woman's Committee, Council of Ma
tional Defense, believes that mothers
should be kept in the homes as far as
possible. She discourages day nur-
series, because of the greater danger
Of contagion when many children are
together and for the reason that nur-
series tempt needy women to wean
their children in order to enter wage
earning occupations.
"You can not save babies If you
can not give mothers advantages" DR..
Peixotto declared in discussing the
conservation of child life at the Con-
ference of Chairmen of the Commit
tees Department of Women in In
dustry.
Mrs. Arthur NJ Dodge, who repre-
scented Connecticut at the conference,
said that the day nursery is IAN emer-
gency expedient justified by the Ma
tons crisis" The Illinois Commit
tee on Foreign Born Women in In
dustry made an investigation of 46
mothers employed at night in the Chi
cago stockyards, and Mrs. Raymond
Robins, chairman of the Illinois De-
partment reported that, after care
full sitting of facts, four packing firms
agreed to prohibit night work for
mothers with children of school age.

HOW BIRDS HELP TO CONSERVE
THE COUNTRY'S CROPS

The protection of birds and the
problem of food production bear
close relationship, according to Il. II.
Forbush, orinthologist of Massachu-
sets, in talk recently given at the
State College of Agriculture at Cor
nell.
So valuable are the birds in protect
ing crops from insect pests that with
out them the grass crop, which is the
biggest of all crops the word over,
would hardly be possible. The birds
feed on the pests which kill the grass,
especially those which eat the roots.
Dr. Forbush gives the birds a prac-
tically complete alibi as enemies of
the farmer and backs his statements
by so many specific instances in which
birds have saved crops that those who
heed his words will protect these fea-
thered friends. Protection of the birds
he says, is not merely. matter of SEN
timcnt, but has fundamental econo-
mic basis.
Parent birds work necessarily to
keep their young sufficiently fed. A
young bird is about the biggest eater
in the world Audubon, the naturalist,
declared woodcock would eat its
weight in worms in night. 1t has
since been shown that it will do bet
ter than this; and ii will cat twice
its weight in "a hours. In proportion
to its size. if man needed as much
food as a young robin. it is estimated
that he would have to eat bologna
sausage 67 feet long and nine inches
in circumference each day.
a farmer who thought the robins
were pulling up his young cabbages
learned from a student of bird life
that the girds were pulling up only
those plants which were dead: and
| THIS was to get at the wire worms ut
the root, which had caused the plants
to die and which would destroy other
cabbages if left alone. In another
case a grouD of farmers thought tho
meadow larks were destroying their
crops. An orinthologist persuaded
one farmer to spare the larks on his
place. The other farmers shot them.
The result was that the man who
spared the larks was the only one for
niles around who had an oat crop
The birds killed the insects which de-
stroyed the other crops.
a Massachusetts cranberry grower
suffered heavy loss from worm
which ate the berries. He ENCOURAGED
the birds to build in his bog and in
a few seasons he found he was both
+ cred ont at all by the worms.
/ Birds may be encouraged to build
in orchards by having suitable nest
ing boxes provided and by being pro.
tected from their enemies. Their
presence will favorably affect fruit
production. They also help save the
trees, because there are various birds
which protest different parts of tho
tree: some feed on the insects whicl
work at the roots. some those which
bore into the bark, and still others
those which eat the leaves.

About Group

If your children are subject to Group
or if YOU have reason to fear their
being attacked by that disease, you
should procure a bottle of Chamber

directions for use, so that in case Of
an attack you will know exactly what
course to pursue. This is a favorite
and very successful remedy for Group,
and it is important that you observe
