WOMEN HANDLE BIG SHELLS
Young Mother Gave Practical Demon.
stration Of Their Physical Fit
. ness to Do So.

When women first We're put to work
In shell factories in England they
handled only the light field-sun shells.
Later 1t became necessary for them to
turn out larger shells, ana doubts We're
raised as to whether the women We're
strong enough to handle them. A
young mother settled the question.
"Let me heft the she'll" she said,
picking one up from the floor. "Aye,"
she commented, "this shell Is mite
heavy. tits true, but it's not SO heavy
as my baby"
There Is n shell factory in the Liv-
erpool district operated almost eXclu-
sively by the daughters of business
and professional men. Many are
young girls who had never done any
kind of work other than needle work
and cooking. The heavy work of the
establishment is performed by the
wives of sailors.
This Is a nonproflt-maklng factory
and 1t is the reply of the Cunard COM
pany to the Germans for the sinking
Of the Lusitania.

lost. Never before has 1t been more
important that 1t should not be. The
Christmas spirit as well as civilization
and liberty must be saved. The world
Is In the midst Of war that Is wrench
Ing mems hearts; nation that has
made peace Its emblem Is throwing It,
self and every resource into the con-
fiict; on all sides sons have parted
from mothers and fathers; news of
casualties Is being received. Under
such circumstances 1t might be natural
for the weak to yield to depression.
This must not be. There Is a brave
and CHEEKY side to the picture. which
must be kept constantly In our hearts
and minds.
Preserving and accelerating the
Christmas spirit of other years will
help do this; omission Of the. usual
acts of kindness and generosity will
add needlessly to the depression that
all are trying to drive from them.
Hearts were never In greater need Of
cheering than this year. Nor was
there ever greater need for an outlet
Of the spirit of kindness and generos-
ity In man. We are engaged In the I'm.

Advice to Mothers,

She was n very careful woman and
when she noticed that the little boy
was rather Indifferent as to his per-
sonal appearance it worried her very
much.
"Your conduct troubles me very
much" she said. "Now tell me how
can get you to wash your face regu.
larly?"
THAT'S easy, ma" the boy replied.
"Just let me so in swimming every
day."

The Typhoid Epidemic

1t is new practically agreed by
the investigators that the Ty-
pboid epidemic at Brunswick
and vicinity is chargeable to
the fault of construction of a
sewer, within less than 10 feet of
the old time popular never falling
public well located at the N. E.
Corner of knight & Rucker Store.
This well is fed by a spring COM
ing down from the Seminary
Hill, and which furnished abun-
dance of clear. pure. cold and
wholesome water to this well
and the wells f'reksf so4eh III
Kinkhort's Corner and Ice house
lower down towards Grand
River. ;
When the city contractor made
the ditch or trench for the sewer
he tapped this spring and the
trench was soon filled up with
its water. The sewer tile joints
were not properly sealed, hence
when sewer was used by the
public the sewer mixed up with
the spring water and thereby
destroyed the usefulness of
the old city well as well as the
other wells further down the
river.
The water of the Rucker City
well has been used by the pa
tron of the K. & R. Store and its
tenants, and the members of
Masonic Lodge whose Lodge
room is on second story of the
Rucker building and hundreds
of others for years. There are
other contributors to the polu-
ton of these wells in the forms
of cesspools and unclean cellars
according to the popular belief,
but it appears agreed that the
sewer is responsible for the great
er part of the unfortunate and
serious condition.

1t Is High Time to Revise Our
Patent System.

Under the conditions that have been
enforced for many years the patent
system Of the United States has been
the instrument of numerous and no.
torious abuses. Some of them have
affected individuals, inventors, manu-
facturers, experlmenters. Some of
them have imposed handicaps and
hardships on the Government and on
the people as whole.
The hour has come for thorough
reformation Of patent practice by the
United States. 1t Is not question
Of doing justice to inventors, of open
ing the doors for the expansion Of
industry, OF releasing for the public
use desirable novelties and improve
ments that are now unavailable be-
cause Of the mOnopOlies that are Gre
ated by the law. 1t Is an impera-
tive public necessity, apparent to-day,
which will become oppressively obvi-
Gus as time goes on and the blighting
consequences of the present policy
produce their results.
First and foremost, the Government
should not protect any inventor or
the assigns Of any inventor In the pos
session Of a patent that is not worked
In the United States. In prohibiting

THE SPEEDWAY.
A Conference With the Mayor on
Opening 1t to General Traffic.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Not
withstanding all the agitation during
the winter for the opening of the Speed
way TO general traffic, up to the present
nothing has msterialized and the Speed
way st,ll remains closed TO all except the
drivers OF harness horses. However,
there Is hope that means will be found
to open the Speedway to general trafiic
before the summer Is over. This hope
springs from the fact that Mayor
Hylan has set Tuesday for a conference
on the Speedway matter. A committee
composed Of Senator Edward Bowling.
Assemblyman William Amos. William
II. Chorosh and Edward Forrest for the
Harlem Board OF Commerce will confer
with the Mayor. They will endeavor TO
enlist his support to lift the restrictions
which prohibit general traffic from USING

York millions OF dollars to build and

In apparent distress. The filthy beg
gnr ON the elevated railroad stairs,
once a commonplace Of city life, is
blood brother to the suave solicitor
whose well cut garments reflect the
profits of his genteel swindling; and
both Of them owe their prosperity to
the lazlness and gullibillty Of thought
less givers.
The respectable persons who lend
their names to well sounding but un-
known organizations with expensive
stationery are particular Offenders In
this swindle. They do not profit from
the taklngs of those who work under
the protection of their Endorsement !;
they get none Of the dirty money that
Is split up; but they do encourage a
vicious system of imposture that de-
prives worthy charities Of sorely
needed income, and closes many
purses against all appeals. 1t Is COM
paratlvely easy to give, and not much
harder to refuse to give. To inquire
into the character of an organization
seeking support involves more diff

directors, or trustees, or patrons, and
If we recognize among them men or
women who enjoy public confidence,

their names have been used to cover a
fraud, every subsequent appeal Is re-
garded with great suspicion, no mat
ter what Its source.
There can be no objection to the
establishment of government agency,
municipal, State or Federal, to ex-
tirpate fraudulent charities" But
the real remedy for the abuses that
have lately occupied so much atten-
ton lies in a more active personal
participation in the distribution Of
charity by those who furnish the
money, and until this is brought about
we do not expect to find the field freed
Of swindlers.

THE SUFFRAGE DEFEAT.
It Reveals the Incompetence Of the
Democratic Leaders.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sr: The
Democratic party's defeat OF the suf-
frage resolution yesterday comes like
shot In the back for our American boys.
who have gone into the trenches ready
to give up their lives for their country
because they believed that their coun-
try was fighting for democracy and self
government.
Devoted as am to the efficient prose-
cution OF the war. more than ever 1t is
apparent to me that the Democratic
party Is but again demonstrating Its
inability to furnish material for the po-
litical offensive in this war essential
to defeat German autocracy.
The defeat OF the suffrage bills in the
German Reichstag reaffirmed the belief
OF the German people In the autocratic
form of government.
The defeat of the suffrage bill In the
United States can mean only a lack Of
faith in democratic principles.
As an American I am ashamed and
Inundated by the prolonged struggle for
woman suffrage in this country.
As a Republican realize that the
splendid stand taken by the Republican
party, from Lincoln to Roosevelt, on this
measure gains for them tho right to
declare that their party is the only party
to which can be entrusted the ideals OF
the American people.

Where Effe ctlye Supervision OF Char

The Grand Jury has recommended
the establishment Of a Federal agency
to supervise war charities soliciting
money from the public, in order that
we may be assured that our gifts 60

diverted to the maintenance of pro-
fessional mendicants. The object In
view Is excellent; there should be
some authority to repress the vicious
and guarantee the respectable, and as
everything Is loaded on the not I'M
willing Federal establishment nova

suggest that Uncle SAM is scarcely
the proper individual to guard our
pocketbooks against impostors.
But 1t should not be forgotten that
the swindlers who operate in the
garb Of collectors for charity are
older than the war. Their schemes
for obtaining money under false pre-
fences have merely been adapted to
new conditions, and their greed stimu.
lated by the ardor for giving that Is
