held IN connection with the coming
convention OF the National Education
Association at Pittsburg, June 2sth to

cation" a most timely one, and DR..
Caroline Hedger, who has spent sew
eral years of her life among homes Of
alien factory workers in this country
in her professional capacity, will point
out why she considers the kindergar-
ten a vital factor in solving this prob
lem
She believes the kindergarten is a
powerful factor in the conscientious
effort now being made to unity our
country:
l. Because the kindergarten gets a
very early contact with the foreign
family
?. II gets a very normal contact, a
contact founded on the common inter-
est of mothers and kindergarten
workers in the little child
g. The kindergarten has ready the
machinery for very fine give and
take" relationship between old Ameri-
cans and recent Americans in the
mothers meeting This meeting needs
only to be enlarged and directed to
bring about mutual understanding,
mutual liking and a unified effort for
the country we all love whether ma

STILL SEEK CRABS
NEAR OLD BRIDGE
Traditional Group At Foot OF Light
Street Continues To Remain
SteadfaSt

Although the old Light street bridge
connecting Anne Arundel County with
Baltimore. in the upper part of this
county, is now but a memory, one of
it's traditions is still kept alive by the
many crabbers that flock to the site
of the old causeway and spend the
morning Turing the crab from its ma
tive haunts.
Each bright Sunday morning finds
a score or more of the "old timers"
armed with their lines and their bas-
kets, vending their way toward the
foot of Light street. From that time
until noon they can be seen sitting
around smoking and chatting while
waiting for their prey to bite
For one day in the week, at least,
they can give old High Cost of Liv-
ing the laugh, because the average
mornings catch is more than enough
to furnish the Sunday dinner. One
"old timer said he considered it a
bad day when he was compelled to
leave for home with less than five
dozen in his basket.
Many of the sportsmen, however,
are small boys who delight more in
the pleasure of catching the shell fish
than in eating them. They fit about
from place to place to find a spot
where they are biting good" Others
are old men who have been finding
their Sundays dinner in the waters
of the Patapsco for years and would
find it difficult to depart from their
former custom.
Another tradition that was linked
with this custom, but which has de-
parted irrevocably. with the bridge
was that of the early Friday-morning
fishers
Each Friday. before dawn, would
find group of fishermen on the ole
draw with their lines cast down il
the channel in the expectation OF
drawing out their mornings break
fast. Since the building of the new
bridge. however, this custom has pass
/ ed out for two reasons-first the new
Hanover street structure is too higl
to permit good fishing from its level
and in the second place the fish il
those waters are becoming scarcel
each year.

POWDER IN SHOES

Under the above heading the De-
troit Free Press says: THE theory
is that soldiers whose feet are iE good
condition can walk further and fas-
ter than soldiers who have corns and
bunions incased in rawhide."
The Plattsburg Camp Manual adj
vises cen in training to shake Foot
Ease in their shoes each morning.
One war relief committee reports,
of all the things sent out in their Com
fort Kits, Aliens Foot-Ease received
the most praise. 1t is used by Ameri-
can, French and British troops, be-
cause it takes the Friction from the
Shoe and freshens the feet. There is
no foot comforter equal to Aliens

UNDERWOOD AND bANKHEAD WILL
 SUPPORT DRAFT
Man Power Bill Has asSuppOrt Irrespective of Opposi- ti0n, Declares Sena-
 tor Underwood
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, August 2f.-(Special, )--In it's conduct of the war nothing should be denied the administration, in the opn- ion of Senator Underwood of Alabama
 He had been asked how he would vote on the man power bill now pending, es- pecially as regards that provision which will make boys as young as is years of age amenable to service
 T want to beat Germany quick" was the way he put it, and want to beat Germany next year if that be possible The administration is proceeding in the belief that if we can get 50O0,OO0 Amer jeans on the battle line by next summer we will be able to crush Germany be- fore the conclusion of the year. For that reason I will support the man power bill, irrespective of the opposition to the S-year-old provision. These young men will not be put into service unless such action be necessary, and the ad- ministration would not oppose legislation deferring their classification but for the fact that such legislation would be a formal deterrent to that elasticity of motion which emergencies might make necessary.
 Young Americans have fought all the wars of the United States and history indicates just how gallant and successful their operation has been. We have but one object in life and that is the quick
 in the ar in complete and glori- ous triumph. To do so we may be com 8le.4eG -o enllst the service of the very young. but it must Der remembered that we have staked our all on the outcome
 Senator Bankhead will also support the man power bill.
