People Of tho Virgin islands.

People Of tho Virgin Islands.
It is said that between 80 and 80
per cent Of the people Of the Virgin
Islands, formerly the Danish West In
dies, are pure black. The rest Of them
are white. There are very few mu-
lattoes, for the race line is more sharp
~ drawn than in the other islands of
the West Indies. The islands pride
themselves on their low percentage of
illiteracy. Only about 2 per cent Of
the inha bitants are unable to read and
write. In spite of their proximity
there is great difference between the
Virgin Islands and Porto Rico. The
inhabitants Of the former are thorough
~ English in their speech and customs,
while those Of Porto Rico are Spanish.
The island of st. Thomas is poor ag-
riculturally. Fishing is the chief occu-
patton, and most Of the fish is con-
sumed at home. Ninety per cent Of
the population is in the towns. Graz
ing is the chief agricultural industry.
Five men are reported to own the en-
tire island outside of the towns-New
York Post.

"Peat Cotton"

A material known as peat cotton
is either made into cushions on which
to rest injured limbs, or as filling for
bandages. One difficulty about using
peat cotton is that it must be kept
moist. When dry it crumbles into dust
and becomes useless. A trace of tar
in the makeup renders peat cotton a
valuable disinfectant.

To Repair Prayed shoeIaces.
When the tag or end fastening
comes off a shoelace, take little black
sealing wax and press it carefully
around the end Of the lace and shape it
to point. This will last long time
and does away with the annoyance of
frayed lace ends.

Beginning April 9th, every woman
in Michigan over sixteen years of
age will be asked to register for will
ing service either paid, or volunteer
in nation, state or community. No
service is expected of a woman ex-
cept what she can freely offer. This
is to be complete census of the
woman power of the state. Our
government is profting by the eXpcr-
fence of our sister allies. In England
after the first two years of the war,
one million women were needed to
replace men in industrial positions
making a total of three million in
gainful occupations. Volunteers
were needed to cook for the workers.
care of their children and take their
places in the factories at week ends
that they might have one day of rest.
The United States already has one
million men gone. With four million
more called to the firing line and to
the environments our country Will have
similar emergencies to meet. When
these men are called, to what degree
of efficiency and usefulness can the
wheels of industry be kept turning
by the unmeasured, unestimated
woman power Of the state? These
are the questions being asked and
they must be answered before the
next draft. The only way the govern
ment can know the actual usefulness,
strength and possibilities of its
women is through the registration.
Women be loyali Be ready to regis
ter when the time comes. This will
not be house-to-house canvas. Come
to the places that will later be desig-
mated and register for whatever ser
vice you can offer.
