GIRLS IN MUNITIONS PLANTS
NEW PATRONS OE LITERATURE

London, July 10.-The old-time book
buyer has almost disappeared in Lon
don. His place has been taken by
the new patrons of literature-the
munition girls and the young women
employed in government departments
and who are earning more money
than they had ever dreamed of re-
ceiving in wages in their younger
days.
"The girls from the munitions
plants and other branches of the gov
eminent service buy books in quaint
ties that would surprise people who

bookseller recently "They have tax.

IRISH WOMEN ORGANIZED IN
ANTl-coNScRIPTlON cAMPAIGI

Dublin, July 1O-Irish women were
organized for participation in the an
transcription campaign in Ireland
as never before in the history Of po-
litical agitation in Ireland.
Much is now heard of the "Womans
Pledge" which was the leading fea.
ture Of the women's side of the anti
CONSUMPTION campaign. The pledge
reads as follows:
Because the enforcement of con-
scription on any people without their
consent is tyranny, we are resolved
to resist the CONSUMPTION Of Irishmen.
We will not fill the places of men de-
prived Of their work through refusing
enforced military service. We will
do all in our power to help the fam
lilies of men who suffer through en-
lOrceu military service.
The occasion chosen for the uni
versal signing of this pledge by the
women of Ireland was the festival of
st. Columbeille, national saint much
talked about at the present time on
account of some war prophecies at.
tributed to him, including one in
which he is said to have predicted
conscription.
The woman's pledge was part of a
scheme with which CONSUMPTION was
resisted. Wherever possible, the
signing was accompanied by floral
demonstration and organizations TAX.
ing part carried wreaths, crosses and
other symbols to decorate the place
of signing. The ceremony also was
accompanied by pilgrimages and pro.
cessions to some place of veneration
such as church, holy we'll site OF
altar in penal days, or some local me
mortal of national history.

WAYSIDE MUSINGS

time highways, we took the boat trip
up the Ohio river from Louisville
to Cincinnati, a distance of about $50
miles. Time was when to take this
trip was to travel de luxe. The boats
were paragons of luxury, for that
period the time made was reasonably
good, and this mode of transportation
was very popular. Now however. this
way of travelling has fallen into de-
cline. The boat we made the trip
or was an oldtime freghter, and
there was little of the former spick
and span smartness that was once the
pride of that mighty parsonage, the
river boat captain.
and a most restful and satisfactory
trip 1t was. There is one thing in
which there has been no change as
regards river travel, and that is the
Indifference of all concerned in it's
operation as to the passage of time
They still stop the boat at tiny land
ings with perhaps only one house in
sight, while the roustabouts wander
off into the pastures to gather up a
bunch of calves and bring them
aboard. Incidents of this kind fur
nish the excitement of the trip; and
II there is an obstreper0us steer
which refuses to walk the gang plank,
and has to be urged with much shout
ing and prodding and tail-twisting,
we feel that an excellent show has
been staged.
But the one thing that, more than
all else, marks the decadence of
steamboat travel is the decline Of the
glory of the first mate. That person
age has lost his pep. His language
Is but a feeble imitation of the one
time torrid and torrential eloquence
that poured from his lips from the
moment the whistle blew for land
ing until the gang-plank was back
into place. No first mate was en-
ployed who had not been able to show
superb efficiency in this respect. II
was an inspiration-and stimulus tC
perspiration-to the throng of black
men who attended every river steam.
err, many of them without money and
without price, other than the Joy Of
riding on the boat and filling up or
the remnants of the bounteous fare
served the passengers.
We hope that somewhere on this
land the story and the loneliness Of
steamboat travel yet holds its pristine
prestige. But on this trip we saw al
traditions of the past smashed int
smithereens. Instead of singing out
"Step lively there, you blinkety
blanked lubber- headed son of blank
ety-blnked logger-headed mud tur
tle!" the mate in the most disgustins
and lady-like manner would say
Hurry up, men" And there were
white men doing the work as wei
as negroes; and more than once W,

PLAN TWO MILLION GARDENS

Two million home gardens, cultivat-
ed under the auspices of the Boy
Scouts Of America, are going to prove
Invaluable to the United States during
the war period and help to end the high
price of food here, according to O. H.
Benson of the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.
Mr.. Benson. who is In charge of the
governments agricultural extension
work, recently conferred with scout Off.
cials Of the Boy Scouts of America at
their headquarters, in New York, on
the plans for mObilixing the 275,OOO
scouts and officers for food production.
He said the backyard gardening cam
paign Is sweeping the nation and that
the movement to great extent will
prove the solution of the food problem
that now cOnfrOnts this country.
II these new resources are properly
conserved, Mr.. Benson says, they will
furnish reserve food supply that will
be invaluable to the country In its pros.
ecutiOn of the war.
This Boy Scout movement alone
means more than 100000 new gar.
dens throughout the country this
spring." said Mr. Benson. ''In addition
to raising garden himself, each scout
Is pledged to persuade nine other per-
sons, not scouts, to raise gardens. That
makes ten gardens per SCOTLAND
there are 100000 scouts, not counting
the adults in the organization. These
millions of gardens will furnish an ad-
dition to the food supply which the ma
ton will appreciate more next fall than
It does nOW."

WHAT CATARRR IS

Science has shown that nasal catarIh
often indicates a general weakness of

To correct catarrh you should treat
