DO NOT WEAR SERVICE
FLAG WRONGFCILY

Be careful how you wear or dis
play the service flag. This is a dis
tinguished honor to which only those
having father, husband, son,
brother or sweetheart in the service
is entitled and, IL you are wrong
fully wearing the pin or displaying
the flag, ii may prove embarrassing
to you sometime. The wearing OF
the service flag is not a fad with
which one may bedeck themselves
just because they happen to have a
forty-second cousin or some other
distant relative in the war. 1t is a
sacred emblem symbolizing that the
wearer has given up a loved and near
relative to fight for the honor of our
homes and the freedom of the world.
The wearing of the service flag-the
one who has a sacred right to wear
it-does so in honor of that father,
husband, son, brother or sweetheart
in the service and not because 1t
looks nice or that II is a fad and
"everybodys doing IT,"
Perhaps some have been wrong
fully wearing the service flag un-
mindful that they had no right to do
so. III you are the one, don't do 1t
again. That beautiful little pin rep
resents that a sacrifice has been made
in the home of the wearer. Perhaps
the one for whom it is worn may
make the supreme sacrifice. 1t is
not then to be worn as II 1t meant
no more than the ware OF the street
fakir who fares so well on carnival
days.
If you have made the sacrifice of a
| father, husband, son, brother or
sweetheart, wear the service flag by
all means. III you have not, don't
try to fake an honor to which you
are not entitled.

SEVEN RULES
FOR TEACHING

1. The barbarity of which humanity
is still capable furnishes abundant
proof of the imperative need of hui
name education, and this country
should set the example of having it
systematized in all schools. There
should be no more question of giving
a child humane education than there
is of teaching him to read.
2. 1t should begin in the kinder
garten and continue throughout the
entire period of school life.
3. 1t should be one of the topics at
all teachers institutes, so that teach
ers may become Interested quail
flied.
4. Articles on the subject should
appear from time to time in educa-
tional journals and so far as is pos
sible, in the public press.
s. The discussion of it should be
encouraged at meetings of parent
teachers association.
6. 1t should be on the program at
annual meetings of the National
Teachers Association.
7. All school Libraries should con-
tain books of reference to assist the
teacher in making the subject attrac-
tive to the pupils and by showing
how to save time through correlation
with other studies.
Humane Education laws do not
generally provide that this instruc-
ton should continue throughout the
entire school course, and it is because
legislators are usually blind to the
fact that true humane educators, al
though it begins by teaching sym
pathy with, and justice and kindness
toward our little brothers of the ami
NAL world, and by no means ends
there, but develops or should develop
into the cultivation of the highest
ideals of justice, mercy, the protec-
ton of the weak, in word, thereali-
zation of our correct relation toward
our fellowmen, the evolution of our
primal egoism into the higher altru-
ism

HELPING WITH PLAY WEEK

The national headquarters of sew
eral organizations devoted to the pro-
lection of the leisure time activities
of boys and girls-to helping them to
find good times in normal wholesome
ways-have just sent to their local
representatives in all parts of the
country a message asking them to see
that the facilities of their organization
are enlisted in the recreation drive,
and to make sure that the boys and
girls they represent get their fair
ned as a part of the patriotic play
week
The recreation drive of the Chill
dren's Bureau of the U. S. Department
of Labor and the Child Welfare De-
partment of the Woman's Committee
has thus secured exceptionally good
assurance that the children in this
country will be protected from the in
crease of misunderstanding which has
brought large numbers of children
before the courts in certain European
countries since the war In recogni-
ton of the Importance of recreation
as means of preventing Juvenile de-
linquency, play centers are being or
gained in England: in fact, since
January 1, 1917. special grants in aid
of such centers have been made by the
government
Among the national organizations
which are prepared to help in the
recreation drive are the Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, the Young Women's
Christian Association, the Boys and
Girls Clubs of the Department Of
Agriculture, the School Garden Army
of the U. S. Bureau of Education.
They will, it is expected, be able to do
more than combat possible increase
in juvenile delinquency, for healthy
exercise will be promoted as part of
the drive and it is hoped thereby to
increase the physical vigor Of the
children of the nation.

Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury
Department has written to the chair
men of the Liberty Loan committees
throughout the country urging that
they take advantage of the services of
the Boy Scouts of America to the full
est extent, and recommending that
where possible Scouts conduct selling
campaigns as cleaners after the reap
ers" in the same effective way they
have done heretofore.
The Treasury Department has, how
ever. authorized the local Liberty
Loan Committees, when local condi-
tions justify, to change these plans,
and in many cases the scouts will start
to sell bonds during the early part
of the campaign. All local arrange
ments will, however, be made by the
Scout officials in their respective COM
munities under the direction and with
the approval of the local Liberty Loan
Committees.
To help the Boy Scouts throughout
the country to make their plans and

fundamental regulations and basis on
which medals will be awarded to
those Scouts who sell the required
number of bonds the Treasury Depart
ment is making available to the or

membership 100000 copies of 16-

The Boy Scouts throughout the
country are looking forward with
great eagerness to this additional OPP
portunity to help their country win
the war, and the evidence indicates
that they will render greater service
in this forthcoming campaign than
ever before.

INDUSTRIES BUREAU
IS INVESTIGATING
Rent Profiteering BY Inscriptions
Landlords. To Protect
Workers

That INSCRIPTIONS landlords of An
napolis and all other war-industry
districts, who are taking advantage of
the present need of war workers to
demand exorbitant rents, will soon
feel the heavy hand of the Govern
ment, is an assured fact.
The administration has decided that
rent profiteering must cease all over
the country where war workers have
been robbed by the high rents de-
manded of them. At the suggestion
of the Department of Labor, which is
particularly charged by Congress
with finding homes for the war work
ers. the Public Buildings Committee
of the House of Representatives has
prepared a bill which empowers the
President to requisition houses and
apartments where the rent is excess
sive until after the war.
In case the landlord is not salts
fed with the compensation fixed by
the government to be fair one, he
is given his remedy in the court. In
such case he will be Pend three
fourths of the amount set by the gov
eminent. and the difference between
what he receives and what he claims
will be paid him whenever the court
decides the case.
Careful investigation by the Bureau
of Industrial Housing and Transpor-
tation of the Department of Labor
have shown that rents in industrial
districts have increased in some in
stances considerably more than zoo
per cent. and that the labor turnover
in war industries, because of rise IN
rents. has actually retarded contracts
solely needed by both the Army ana
the Navy.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
has been able to protect its workers
from unwarranted rent increases
through the agency of a law even
wider in scope than the bill just m
troduced. Just claims to increase IN
rent will not be ignored, but exces-
sive rises imposed because OF snort
age of housing space. due to the in
fiux of war workers, will not be toll

GOOD SHUCKS MAKE
CORN WEEVIL-PROOF
Pests VIII Starye Rather Than Force
Their Way Through Well-COy-
cred Ears


weevils, which cause losses of
thousands of bushels of corn every
year in the South, will starve rather
than force their way through good
shuck covering. This was determined
in laboratory Investigations conduct
ed by specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture who made
a number of tests to determine the
merits of shucks as a means OF pre-
venting damage to ear corn. The de-
partment specialists suggest that in
the selection of seed corn this fall,
attention be given to the choice of
ears having well-formed, extended
shucks. A report of the Investigations
is contained in a recent department
publication, Bulletin 70S.
Field investigations showed 43 per
cent more weevil infestation in corn
with poor shucks than in that having
good shucks without worm holes.
II was found that there are other adj
vantages in having ears well pro-
tected by shucks. The tests showed
3 per cent more rotten, 16 per cent
more discolored, and is per cent more
worm-moldy ears in poor shucks
than in good ones.
The so-called good shucks in these
Investigations were not ideal, accord
ing to the bulletin, but only better
than the average. Corn on which the
shucks failed to extend beyond the
tips of the ear, or, if extending be-
yond the tip, did not close tightly,
thus affording an opportunity for in
sects to enter along the passage used
by the silks, were placed in the class
having poor shucks. The investiga-
tions made it clear that the farther
the shucks extended beyond the tips
of the ears, the more effective Is the
protection against causes of damage
including earworm. This suggested
the possibility of having shuck ex-
tension long enough to be entirely eff
fective against ear damage.
Most corn growers fail to realize
that by improving the shuck covering
on their corn by selection, they may
reduce the amount OF damage done to
the grain. Growers generally consider
only the ear and kernels when select
ing seed. Some observers have con-
cluded that since weevils are able to
eat the hardest corn, they would also
cut their way through most resistant
shucks. Others have observed that
earworms may cut holes through a
large percentage of the protecting
shuck and that weevils will enter
through these holes and they have
concluded from this that shuck COW
ering can not be made practicable
means of protection. The investiga-
tons referred to, however, prove that
this is not true. Where injury from
weevil is probable, store shuck-pro-
tected ears as early as possible.
