Those menus are to contain 900 cal ories. The foods selected are those most easily available to the people during the present war time crisis and those which should be used for pur- poses of conservation. The boys vol unteered to eat these meals 5or a period of three months as Food Scouts to prove what food in war time children must eat in order to reach proper physical development
 In a letter to the bureau of educa- tion, District Superintendent Henry F. Jenkins in charge of New York evening schools, says: The problem of the improperly nourished child in school is becoming a burning one in New York and undoubtedly has be- come or will become acute in other cities I feel that this should be part of a national work"
 It is hoped that the New York experiment will help to arouse interest among schoolmen in the school lunch as the surest means for carrying knowledge of food values into the homes of the people.

MORE FUNDS NEEDED
 BY THE RED CROSS
Second Campaign to Be Held
 Week Of May 20

New York, March 1.-The soc. ond s1O0,0OO,oO0,0 war fund cam paign of the American Red Cross will begin on May and continue through that week. according to an an nouncement made by c. M. Dahl, chairman of the war fund commit. tee for the Atlantic division of the Red Cross. This announcement fol- lowed the receipt of a. telegram from the war council of the Red Cross.
 The big Red Cross campaign was originally set for May 9th to 18th, but on account of possible interfer- Cnce with the Liberty Loan drive it " as decided that the later date would more effectively serve the interest of the Red Cross and the Liberty Loan committee
 The campaign will be nationwide With each of the thirteen division headquarters and all Red Cross chapters participating. Arrangem ents for the campaign in the Atlantic di vision, which embraces the States of New York, New Jersey and Connec- ticut are being made under the di- Tection of MT. Dahl who is vice pres ident of the Chase National bank of New York city.
 Through the action of the war council tho campaign for the second $100, 100000 war fund will start ap- proximately eleven months after the first S100, 0OO,O0 war fund drive. The first campaign was launched June IS, five weeks after President Wilson appointed the war council, headed by Henry F. DaviSon. At the outset of it's activities the war council saw the need of a huge war fund not only lC uphold the morale and conserve the strength of our army and navy but also to care for the helpless ci- william sufferers in Europe.
 The public immediately responded to the appeal subscribing more than 0,000,000. Interest added to the contributions brought the total fund to S1O5, 5,099,257.
 Of this amount sI7,721,91S has teen appropriated for Red Cross ac-

New York, March 11.--HoW the Bell cessity for an expanded service after the entry of the United States into the war and provided service to the various branches of the government without disturbance to commercial in- terests is shown in the report of Theodore N.

 Immediately upon declaration of war; President Vail says, "prece- dence was established throughout tho system for all government service and 12,000 toll operators were speedily trained for this work
 During the past year, the report shows, there has been a great increase in the telephone service in Washington to handle which it has been necessary to enlarge the switchboard. Several of these are large enough for a city of 100000 population.
 For use in the national service, 15.OOO miles of toll and 270O0 miles of circuit for telegraph use have been taken from commercial service and devoted to the use of the governm ent
 The net earnings of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., segre- gated from those of the Bell system, are shown to be s4S, 900, which is $1,197, 900 more than for the previous year. The assets are more than $500, ,00O in excess of outstanding obligations. Mir. Vail said:

55,OOO OPERATORS LICENSES.
All Drivers Now Required to Have
 1918 Permit.

Hartford, March 1.-The motor vehicle department has issued ap- proximateIy 55.0O0 operators licenses of all classes, to date. In 1917 a. total of approximately 100000 of all classes were issued so that it now appears that about one-half of the total number to be expected for 1918 have already qualified.
 The department of motor vehicles has instructed all it's enforcement officers that every driver is now re- quired to have a 1918 operator S license. Experience has shown that a large number of drivers either forget or neglect to provide themselves with this very necessary document and the department is using every possi ble means to call attention to this necessity.
 The department will now accept applications for April 1st registrations and allow the rebate to that date. will issue registrations as of April list and will forward the numbers so that they can be had promptly on April 1st.

Not long ago ] was calling on a friend of mine and found her daugh - ter at home, though my call was paid during school hours (you might read intention into that sentence, but I assure you there was none. I liked the little girl and would like her still more If she were allowed to be a moro natural normal child. But thereby hangs my tale).
 l expressed my surprise at the un- expected pleasure, and her mother said, ''Yos, Lucy was transferred from her old schoolhoUsc to a new one at midyear. and the nervous strain rather upset her: so she is resting for a day or two. She is so high strung, you know"
 Fancy!
 Or Did You Think It Fun"
 Can you remember. when you were a child, recuperating from the nerv- ous strain of changing from one school house to another?
 To be sure. the child is delicate and nervous: but just how much of that delicacy and nervousness results from the atmosphere with which her extremely solicitous parents surround her is to my mind very grave question.
 She Was Proud of Being High Strung
 She was with us when her mother made that explanation. It seemed to nc ! could see a shadow of self pity cross: her face when her mother spoke c! the nervous strain And Pm sure

 Children are sensitive, plastic creatures alert little chameleons. quick to take color from the con- ditions about them. Could a child live in an atm osphere that constantly suggested and expected nerves and delicacy on his part, and not respond in some degree to that expectation ?

 Of course I realize that children must be in some degree guided and restrained. They do not know what is good for them C'Do we know more?")

SCHOOL CHILDREN IMPROPERLY FED High Rate Of MalnutritiOn Found
 in New York

Washington, March 11-Thirty-three per cent of the girls and 6s per cent. of the boys in two New York public schools are suffering from inn proper feeding, due to ignorance of what constitutes suitable diet under present conditions, according to studies made by New York social workers, utilizing the medical services of the department of health and the association for improving the condi- tion of the poor.
 The school lunch is considered a direct way of meeting the problem revealed by these studies Nutritional clinics have been established and a special committee of the pedatric section of the New York Academy of Medicine has been appointed to CO., operate in the experiments now pro- posed. The first of these experiments is an extension of the existing school lunch service at school No. 40, East goth street, where 25 of the children are to be given one meal a day for three months. The Post Graduate hos pital, the New York School Lunch committee, and the Peoples Institute are cooperating to bring the utmost of scientific control to the experiment and in making known the results in terms of physical improvement scholarship, cost, and applicability of the results to school children generally.
 Describing the 25 boys who have been undergoing the school lunch eH- pertinent at public school No. 40, Mr. John Collier, of the Peoples univer- sity, says: Not one of these boys is undernourished because of some other physical disorder. Their only disease is ma1uffition. They are from nine to twelve years old and they look like children between the ages of four and six Their malnutrition shows itself in reduced weight and f1abbly muscles They have natively strong constitu- tions, otherwise their malnutrition would have already produced tuber- culosis, rickets. breathing defects, heart defects or other organic maladies. In other words, these chill dren were not chosen because they were extreme cases. but because they are hardy yolngsters by nature, and their condition is purely one of slow starvation.'
 A School Problem.
 pr. Josephine Baker director of the bureau of child hygiene of the New York Board of Health, has for over a year been gathering data to show that many school children of New York city are in a serious condition because of improper feeding. Care full investigations have shown that large numbers of children go to school in the morning with nothing but tea or coffee and bread and cake for their breakfast, and that cereals
 
 little. In majority of cases the chill dren receive enough food, but 1t is not wisely chosen, either through ignorance of the parents, or, because of the fact that in many homes both parents are working and there is no one to prepare the proper cooked food for the children.

money to produce. To provide these
things is the opportunity and duty of
those VINO do not offer their lives.
Winning this war is a matter OF
money. When you buy a Liberty
Bond it means money for the United
States treasury During the coming
year, this nation must raise $4,000,
100000 About $4,000. 900 OF fhis
must be raised by loans and $4,000
100000 by taxation. ~ we do not raise
this money, tho United States treas
ury will have failed. When the
United States treasury fails, the war
Is lost. If the war is lost. democracy
Is lost-the world is lost.
Thus we get some idea Of what
each individual must do. He must
save. do without luxuries, he must get
along with what he has rather than
buy things that are not absolutely nee
essary. He must do those things only
which are OF productive value. He
must simplify and cheaper his diet
In short, he must in every possible
way use for his own comfort as little
OF the nations labor, time, and eff
cheney as possible. He must save
every cent Of money possible and loan
il TO the Government. In this way
only can a citizen live up to his patri
otic duty and do his part towards win
ming and ending the war.
