Pink Tea Workers Barred.

The head of the canteen depart
ment of the National League for Wom-
ems Service has requested all "pink
tea members to resign from her di-
vision. 81 would rather have one de-
,pendable woman than one thousand
who can't work because they have an
engagement to play golf or because 1t
is their afternoon at home" she re-
marked, according to the Worcester
Post.
Red Cross workers and war work
ers of all types are up against the
old-age problems of organizers-how
to weed out the Indifferent and inefi-
,cient worker, the person who enthusi-
astically enrolls under every new
banner. attends few meetings, throws
a monkey-wrench or two into the or
ganization machinery-and disappears
until a new "cause" or a brighter
banner f1aunts into view.
Such women are obstacles in the
progress of any cause with which they
see fit to play.

IDLERS SHOULD BE MADE TO WORK

What Superintendent Hausmann of the
State Employment Bureau has told about
the impossibility of getting men to take
iwell-paid jobs, and of the refusal of even
men who admitted themselves to be down
and out to take places on farms at $40 a
month and maintenance, suggests that
force of law should be used to compel
such men to work.
This nation needs the labor of its able
bodied men Just as much, and is entitled
to it quite as much, as it needs and is en-
titled to the military service of part of
it's young male population. And it is the
duty of every man living in the United
States to earn his livelihood.
The nation has not waited upon the
willingness of sufficient number of men,
to organize it's national army, Its repre-
sentatives enacted law that made mill
tary service compulsory upon those Sc
lected for it. That law has the approval
and the obedience of all good citizens.
A law making service in civil life, for
ADEQUATE compensation, compulsory upon
all men physically able to work, would
likewise have the approval and obedience
of all loyal citizens, and it would bring to
their senses such men as those idlers
whom Superintendent Hausmann en-
eountered. Journal.

Gas Nav Help Win War.

Our Illuminating gas plants may win
the war for us. according to the Amer
lean Chemical society. These. experts
say that the only way of quickly in
creasing the available supply of toluol
is to extract it from the nations gas.
Toluol is the basis Of trinitrOtoluol. the
famous British high explosive 7. N. T..
The production in this country is con-
fined largely to by-product coke ovens
and the entire present output is con-
tracted for. However, by quick and
energetic action we can secure an inn
mense supplementary supply of this
vitality necessary substance by treating
Illuminating gas without affecting the

Learn Value of Men.

In one of the chapters of "A Student
in Arms" by Donald Hankey. volun-
teer in the English army at the begin
ming of this war, this authority says:
"On the whole, though, actual expert
ence of war brings the best men to the
fore, and the best qualities of the av-
erage man. officers and men are
welded into closer comradeship by
dangers and discomforts shared. They
learn to trust each other and to look
for the essential qualities rather than
for the accidental graces. One learns
to love men for their great hearts,
their pluck, their indomftable spirits
their irrepressible humor, their readi-
ness to shoulder weaker brothers
burden in addition to their own. One
sees men as God sees them, apart
from eXternals such as manner and in
tonation. A night in a bombing party
shows you Jim Smith as man Of
splendid courage. A shortage of ra-
lions reveals his wonderful unselfish-
ness. One danger and discomfort af-
ter another you share in common IN
til you love him as brother. Out
there, if anyone dared to remind you
that Jim was only fireman while you
were bank clerk, you would give him
one in the eye to 60 on with. You
have learned to know man when you
see one and to value him.

WEATHER CHANGED HIS VIEWS
New EnuIander Allowed Blowing Over
Of Church Steeple by Hurricane to
Influence His Wedding Plans.

The recent destruction by fire OF g.
certain ancient New England meeting
house has set the villagers to retelling
IN amusing anecdote connected with
its partial demolition nearly a CEN
fury ago, when it lost its steeple in a
hurricane, says the Youths Compan-
ion.
Deliberate and cautious lovemaking
figures in many tales of rural New
England; but surely in none of them
does the hero show less impetuosity
than the Amos of this story showed.
For ten years he had courted his pa
tient Eliza; at last he had proposed,
had been accepted, and the wedding
day was set. 1t dawned unpropitious-
,ly, with bowling gale blowing, which
Increased hourly in violence. At the
appointed hour, nevertheless the
guests gathered at the home OF the
bride and waited for the bridegroom,
but he did not appear.
The storm vas truly terrific; indeed,
the meeting house, just across the
common, had already surrendered its
steeple with a tremendous crash. Inc
bride became hysterical and her broth
ers began to look worried. Omlnous
whispers ran about that if the great
elm in front of Amos door had blown
down it must surely have crushed in
the whole front of the house; perhaps
Amos was killed or pinned under the
wreck.
At last a party of anxious volun-
teers started forth, in the teeth OF the
tempest, to investigate. When they
reached the farm the elm was still
standing, and on the threshold, very
much surprised, stood Amos. He mad
supposed that of course the wedding
would be postponed
"Well, now, when l woke up twas
pouring guns and pitchforks, so to
speak, and l says to myself, says l,
Il don't know bout this l don't known
After breakfast twas wuss; and says
/ to myself: I most know they'll put
it off l most know they will ! l had
my eve on the meetn' house steeple,
and [ could see twas swaying consid-
lerable 4 know they'd orter put it

"She swung and she swayed and she
kind of hung in the wind, and then,
Jest as l was gettin' my boots on to
start, over she went And, says l to
myself: That's a clear showing, If
ever there was one; and here l stay!
Even woman couldn't say man
.oughter stand up agin gale when

says 1 to myself, there amt mite of
doubt about it this weather is Onsuit-
able for weddings y"
Nevertheless, he was imperatively
persuaded to come and be married
without waiting for it to clear up.

Question of Fact.

On October II, 1917, the Committee OF
Public Information, of which Secretary
of War Baker is member, made the fol-
lowing announcement:
We have not only equipped an army at
home, but have fitted out an expeditlonary
force within the short period OF SIX
months
In report by the Secretary of War, is
sued December Is, 1917, this statement
appears:
Our activities in this regard have re-
suited in the transporting OF an army to
France fully equipped, with adequate re-
serves of equipment and subsistence, and
with those large quantities of transporta-
ton appliances, motor vehicles, railroad
construction supplies and animals, all of
which are necessary for the maintenance
and effective operations of the force.
Congressman Miller was a member of
the party of congressman who recently
visited the European war front AS an
intimate friend of General Pershing, he
had an opportunity for observation not
accorded the casual visitor in the war
zone. On Mr.. Miler's return to the
United States few days ago he issued
the following statement:
The American troops in France virtual
ly are without 3-inch guns, prime es-
sential of either defensive or offensive
operations By this mean to say they
are without American guns. We have
been able to buy few guns from France,
but the supply is not sufficient
There are many batteries which have
been sent to France that have not yet had
gun to train with or use in any form.
There is a shortage of clothing, and
don't care who says to the contrary.
There is shortage of nearly all the sup
pies needed to equip troops in the field.
If it is stated our troops have an album
dance of supplies, ask whether or not our
army officials, in despair of receiving
suitable and sufficient clothing for our
men over there, ordered uniforms short
time ago from the already overtaxed
English firms.-Biddeford Journal.
Mr. Baker would make valuable adj
dition to the reporters staff of Hearst
newspaper. He has both the imagination
and the nerve to make good in that line
of work.

Dispensing a Crowd.

II have just come back from forty
eight hours duty in Paris" writes an
officer in a Highland regiment. "My
servant and 1, both in the kilt, were
buying some stuff outside shop, as
one does in Paris, when crowd Of
about twenty people gathered round,
and simply stared-some amused, some
open-mouthed, and some doubtless in
admiration. I was amused at first,
but it got bit too much of good
thing, and my servant, who is a wag,
said: Shall I hand round the hat,

So not thinking he would. l said ::

LIVING IN CITIES
Residents Are Not as NeighborIy
as in Country.
Life in Metropolitan Municipalities 10
Battle for Existence, With No
Time for SociabiIity.

"Who, then, is my neighbour" the
man ''in the city pent'" asks himself,
as he regards a row of similar house
fronts and reflects on the fact that he
has only nodding acquaintance at
best with the majority Of the inmates.
Interdependence is fostered by the
conditions of living in the country.
Ordinarily we do not need the help
of the next house, near or far. But
let fire come, or a destructive storm, or
predatory visitor, or a serious ill
ness, and the neighbor may be as well
come as angels, says writer in Phila-
delphia Ledger.
City life is often a battle of the
strong, because there are crowds and
there are many mouths to feed and
many shutting feet to be shod. If we
let ourselves think of it, the vast null
titude of identities striving to establish
themselves is almost terrifying. Where
did so many people come from? Where
are they all going? How are they to
find lodging for the night? Each
of the moving swarm is the center of
a circle of friends. The humblest, I'M
less deeply unfortunate, has ties that
bind him to earth and make life-in a
degree-dear to him.
Out of the pagan wilderness to the
urban lights and roarings comes bu-
collie youth. What will the city do to
that unsophistication? Or in what
way will it's rugged, innocent power
in time come to prevail upon the city?
Your shrewdest, hardest captain of
business closes his eyes at his desk
and is taken back to murmurous water
brooks and bees, to the aroma of hay,
of kline, of burning leaves, to the
sound of the whetted scythe or the
sight of baked apples in the window of
the woodshed.
Why can't they brown f1apjacks or
bake beans or concoct apple sauce or
cook oatmeal as they did down on the
farm?
The table was always big enough
for the unexpected guest. An egg or a
quart of milk was no such great event
as it is in city. There used to be
time, too. to settle the affairs OF the
borough and the nation, to discuss
Horace Greeley and to wind the clock,
between supper and early bedtime.
We have filtration, and the vacuum
cleaner, and the servant question, and
all the other city advantages. But it
was something to know the neighbors,
and somehow or other "the men that
were boys when 1 was boy mean
something in lifetime that the brisk,
ambitious, clean-shaven, up-pushing
generation does not convey. 1t would
do these take-it-or-leave-it fellows good
ito study the large, leisurely, tranquil
izing ways of their forebears ia the
days when "civilization" was not on
tear from the cheap lunch to the bar
gain counter. and home was not way

moving pictures.

LARGEST Catch of Salmon.

New fish are introduced every year
and new fishing grounds discovered
and surveyed for the benefit Of fisher
men. Rescue work among the fishes
is also undertaken and last year more
than 100000 fish, left stranded in
evaporating pools, were saved to grow
up to life of usefulness-that Is, big
enough to be fit for the table.
A skilled Investigator has been
studying frog culture, and the Alaska
salmon fisheries have been so guard
ed and protected in accordance with
federal laws that this seasons catch
has been enormous, the largest ever
made. =
The Alaska seals constitute the most
valuable herd Of wild animals ever
owned by any government, and the bu-
reau of fisheries is their custodian.

Raising Game Birds by the
Hundreds.

Richard E. Bullock is raising game
birds nv the hundred in wire-fenced in
closure of Is acres at Scarboro as supeFin-
1endent of a preserve owned by G. H.
Snraeue Of Boston. English ring pleas
ants. mallard and black ducks and like
species are being produced for liberation,
in an endeavor to rehabilitate the woods
of New England and replenish the stock
of wild feathered game. There is ready
market for the surplus birds and an order
for /. 900 pheasants eggs was received re-
Gently from a Long Island fancler.
These birds are half tame and tlutter IN
noisy flocks around the fence at feeding
time. Little protection from Indictment
weather is needed, as all these are hardy
breeds and flourish best when left practl-
cally without shelter.
Pheasants contract tuberculosis If shut
I'D in coops They huddle under a strip
of canvas during stormy weather With
out freezing and subsist in the woods IN a
wild state, as do partridges, on tree buds,
and burrowing into drifts when bllZzards
rage
Wire fences run 100 feet long, SIX feet
high and 38 feet wide with two feet oyer
hang on each side are provided for the
bids. They are unable to clear the over
hang if they try to fly out. This bird
farm has 60 acres and Mr. Bullock event
ually will cover every acre with runs for
the numerous species being raised.
A covey of mallards came from Michi-
gan and plainly missed the privilege OF
feeding in grain fields such as they had
been used to there. A pond is available
for these birds while brooks around the
sides furnish water easy of access for all.
Buckwheat is sowed for the pheasants
and their appetites are understood by the
superintendent, who had experience ON
similar farm near Worcester before TAX
ing up his duties here.
Pheasants came from England original
ly, first to Massachusetts, and consider
able success has been achieved In popu-
lating wooded sections of that State with
these beautifully plumaged birds. War
prices prevail in the foreign pheasant
market and it has become necessary tor
producers to breed supply in this coun-
try if the work is to 60 on. They cost
dollar each before the war and now there
is practically no importation from Eng
land.
Black ducks are highly favored also
and the wild species seem to be diminish
ing rather than increasing Maine mas
given considerable protection to conserV-
ing its game animals and fish but very
little to birds. A few pheasants nave
been the subject of experimentation, but
no well defined effort has been made by
the State to breed and distribute them.
This farm bids fair to become popu-
lar depot for restoration OF wild blrds ana
breeding pheasants in the years to come,
as it is not being conducted for profit.
