The very thought

half roof. The very thought of
building up the institution of Ameri-
canism without including the woman
the mother of the home-is itself an
un-American idea. SO also is the
practice Of leaving her continuously
to ehfnk foreign thoughts and to ex-
press them in a foreign tongue, or of
allowing her to be the object of our
social and civic neglect, if perchance
she is of foreign descent, almost
equally hostile to the American ideal;
and yet not more SO than is our ira
ditional and accepted tolerance of
having numbers of the native born
women continue trif1ing and irrespon
sible members of the social group. AS
a people we have really not done the
kind of straightforward thinking in
regard to the status of women in our
democracy that the Importance of the
subject requires. This is in no sense
intended as all indictment of women,
but it is the natural outcome of our
following tradition and the lines of
least resistance.
d. Theory Alone May Be Useless
1t will be in no other way than by
living AmericaniSm that women in
general will become Americanized.
This proposition which sounds SO
simple in its statement is not pecu-
liarly limited to women but is still far
from being realized in any larger or
fuller sense. The statement will APP
ply, however, impartially to those of
native birth and to those of foreign
birth
The Women of Native Birth.
Let us first regard the statement in
it's reference to the former. 1t is we'll
recognized that already a veritable
host of the women of this country
are giving expression of the spirit and
the practice of Americanism. But I'M
less and until the American women
are as a matter of policy permitted
to assume large civic responsibilities
and to participate in wider activities
of public and industrial kinds, accord
ing to their capabilities, they will not
be rightly prepared for their full
share as joint partners in the living
of Americanism. 1t is the necessity
of the war situation that has done
much to promote the interest and
participation of women in public and
business enterprises while in the
fields of social and humanitarian
service the womanhood of the country
has risen to the highest glory. Re-
sponsibility, purposeful labor and CO.
operation for Il weighty and worthy
cause, are the things that bring to
expression the best that nature has
given US. These experiences also get
us accustomed to the harness of team
work and to sharing in q common en-
terprise for the common good.
Yet the contrast is indeed made
manifest by the many American girls
in our numerous cities, who, unmind-
full of the needs on the blood soaked
fields of France, uniformly prefer the

Hartford, Oct. 19.-Samuel Fergu

struction, today issued a statement
correcting what he said appeared to
be a misunderstanding by the public
of the scope Of tho non-war construc-

an impression in some quarters, said
Mr.. Ferguson that it was not neces-
sary to secure building permits If the
proposed construction was to cost
under $4,000.
Except in the case OF farm build
ings costing less than $1,000, no new,
construction whatever can be done
without a permit Mr.. Ferguson said.
This applies not only to buildings
but to new construction work OF any
type, including sidewalk, sewer, water
gas and electric construction an14

To look ones best and feel ones

absorbed into the blood. Just as coal
when it burns, leaves behind a certain
amount of incombustible material in
the form of ashes, SO the food and
drink taken each day leave in the
alimentary organs a certain amount Of
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon

teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in

ISOLATED Press. )-When it was seen
last night that the Germans had
effected a concentration in Bantheville
Wood for a counter attack on the

The Americans had moved to a.
point within a short distance of
Grand Pre- and the Germans had de-
stroyed the bridges over the shallow
Aire as they retreated. The enemy
obviously expected an artillery fire to
preface any further attack, for his
surprise was unfeigned when the
Americans smashed into his positions.
The American attack began at 6
o'clock in the morning. The men
moved forward in the shelter of the
forest, reaching the Aire at four
points agreed upon where the stream
could be forded.
Without attracting the attention of
the Germans the Americans then
waded into the cold water, which
reached to their waists and higher
and pushed across the stream
On the northern bank they found
broad mud flats, into which they
sank half way to their knees The
Germans by this time had discovered
their approach and opened a bitter
machine gun fire, but the Americans
pushed steadily on. Beyond the mud
banks, which they crossed slowly and
with the greatest difficulty, the Ameri-
cans found the Germans and closed
with them in a desperate bayonet
hand to hand fight. Rifles often
were used as clubs and each man
struggled with individual opponents.
