responsive chord in the hearts of an
audience, and was doing much to in
spire people along the lines of war
work. He then spoke of the great
needs of the Fitzgerald public schools,
the unfinished chapels in the Second
and Third Ward school buildings, and
that the columns of the High School
building needed paint, and the gables
needed to be renewed where plasters
or cement had been used, these two
items rendering the building insight
ly at present. He stressed the need
of an auditorium, saying that $1,000
was paid out for the use of piano at
the courthouse for the recent contest,
and $4,000 was paid by the Seniors
for the use of the opera house

of many such items which the &C

by Fl states already, and provides for
a sufficient sum to permit a widowed
mother to raise her own children in
stead of placing them in charitable in
situations and going out in the world
to earn her own living. These insti-
tutions are splendid, declared Mrs.
Rowlett, but they lack the atmosphere
of home.
Medical inspection of school child
rem came next, and Mrs. Rowlett told
of touching experience in her own
home whereby her little daughter was
saved from premature grave by a
timely discovery made on an inspect
ton tour, also where several teeth
were saved by similar advice.
An institution for defective child
rem is also one of the aims of the or
ganization.
Mrs. Rowlett stressed the need of
Red Cross work, declaring that straw
was being used to staunch the wounds
of soldiers in the trenches owing to
the lack of surgical dressing. So many
women were idle, said Mrs. Rowlett
that it behooves the humane to work

Going to mountain town to organize
Christian Union on one occasion,
and finding no Red Cross chapter,
for as the village prophet told her, IF
all this Red Cross foolishness would
stop the war would end" she turned
her attention to preliminary work
leading up to- the organization OF a
Red Cross chapter, in which, needless
to say, she was successful.
Mrs. G. A. Heide, chairman of the To-

mothers and teachers the coming

Cities Need Rat oefenses.

The city is the great stronghold of
the rat, its permanent refuge and its
last line of defense. The rodents
might be destroyed In all rural dis
tricts and villages, but If not routed
in the cities the whole country would
soon be repopulated with rats from
these centers of infestation.
Old wooden wharves, brick cellars,
extensive lumber yards, ancient facto-
ries, grain elevators. markets and
many other institutions of cities at
tract and harbor rats. As rule the
older the city the more rats are found
in it, but even in parts rebuilt after
large fires they are still to be found,
though less abundant Many large
buildings. rat-proof as to walls and
foundations, have become infested
with rodents through carelessness or
oversight of owners or occupants and
the animals are intrenched behind fix
lures or merchandise. Fortunately it
is possible to rout the rats from these
hiding places.
The biological survey of the U. s.
department of agriculture recon-
mends that cities require that all
buildings to be erected shall be made
rat-proof under a rigid system of in
spection; that all existing buildings
with rat-proof walls and foundations
be made really rat-proof by closing or
screening every opening through which
rats might enter; that rat-proofing re-
pairs be applied voluntarily to all
buildings that need them. Use of dogs,
cats and traps also may bring benefit.

about two miles and were resting at
night on ths slopes approaching the

Where they stood at the last accounts
the Americans formed the apex of the
long line running across the salient.
While the bitter fighting was in
progress between the Americans and
Germans, the French on both sides OF

eve of attempting TO end their retreat
from the Soissons- Rheims salient and

force TO the entente allied armies.

In the center of the pocket, north

more than overcome later by the pene-

from Sergy. Beugneux. lying on the
west side of the pocket northwest of
