people, men, women, and chill
dren, and l hardly know why,
only as a study Of character

that women with children and

flirt would not look well in

Dear Miss Grey: Wasn't the
Red Cross organized In Ameri-
ca? 1 claim that the idea is
purely American, while L have
a friend who says 1t originated
in Europe. Who is right?
MRS. HOUSEWIFE AND
RED CROSS WORKER.
The idea of an international as
sOciation to mitigate the horrors
Of war, originated with a citizen
Of Geneva, Switzerland, John
Henri Dumant. Thru his efforts
1S nations met in conference and
in August. 1864, formed an inter-
national agreement which made
such societies possible. The
American Red Gross society was
former I'm 1881, with Miss Clara
barton as its president. She held
this position until Jan. 3. 1905.

WHICH is DEAREST
HUSBAND OR CHILD?

Even now. little book, l still
think of what Dick would say
when / have to decide upon any
thing. This morning 1t was rath-
er damp and cold, and I began to
try and excuse myself from TAX
ing Richard Waverly III out, and
then all at once I seemed to see
Dicks little crooked smile, and
seemed to hear Dick saying,
Great Heavens, Margie, that
child is neither sugar nor. salt.
He is a man child, Margie, and
you must not make him q molly
coddle."
That settled It, little book,
realized it Immediately 1t was not
Dicky l was thinking about. but
myself. did not want to get into
q street dress.
You see, l am always taking
Dicky out myself. l am foolishly
afraid for him when he is out of
my sight or hearing.
Since I have been we'll enough,
l have never let him go out of the
GROUNDS without me.
Even Annie says this is rather
foolish, but some way, little book,
| seem to feel Dick has entrusted
me with little Dick, and that if
anything happened to him I would
feel that I have betrayed the
trust.
received a new and peculiar
viewpoint on life this morning
from Mollie, when she came~over
and brought her boy.
1t was always too much for me
to see him beside my own splen-
did baby. It seemed to me that
I would much rather my baby had
died than to have been a blind
baby who might sometimes curse
me, that l had brought him into
a life that must be forever in the
dark.
I looked at Mollie. and mar
veled that she could smile, yes,
even smile into the sightless eyes
of her own child.
And then she, catching sight
of my face, said quietly, Don I
pity me, Margie. really I think
am better off than YOU"
looked at her in absolute
establishment, and she explained
how she felt about it.
Some women, Margie, are
born to be mothers and some are
born to be wives. l think I am
of the latter class.
"If l had to choose between
your lot with your splendid boy
and widowhood and my poor
blind darling and living husband,
I'd not hesitate a moment.
There is nothing in this world
that would compensate me for the
loss of Chad, and my greatest sor-
row in my baby's blindness is that
it grieves Chad so utterly.
II sometimes think" she con-
tinued with much bitterness, that
fate has been very cruel to Chad.
She gave him an unloved child
hood, almost estranged the friend
of his youth when she flung into
his arms a worthless woman upon
whom he expended, his first love.
Then for a long time she kept
him between heaven and hell
while we waited for that awful
woman to die.
4 am glad to think that for a
little time poor Chad was very
happy. Pat, his boyhood chum,
had come back to him, he knew I
loved him with every atom Of my
body, with every thought of my
mind. with every beat of my
heart.

Addition to kultur

There's evidence that the Mormon church is pre-
tparing to make a drive for polygamy upon the ma
tons after the war, and it would not be surprising
if the Hindenburg nation accepted the doctrine
A government that sustains itself by sheer force
has got to look upon women as mere breeders and
men as mere cannon fodder It cannot afford to
be particular about morality or social order.
Polygamy would fit in German kultur, appropri-

The EiGht-HOur Day

Opposition to the eight-hour day in the North
west is surely crumbling before the urge of humane
and economic pressure.
One of the most powerful barriers crumbled
when the Tacoma Railway & Power Co. decided to
adopt the eight-hour basis for trainmen.
The traction interests and the lumber interests
WERE perhaps, the mightiest opponents Of shorter
working hours. Both have given way-not neces
sarily because they were in sympathy with the
eight-hour day, but war necessity compelled them
to adopt it.
Possibility of ever going back to the old basis
In either of these citades is remote.
The eight-hour day is here to stay.

Dear Miss Grey: This letter
is in answer to the girl of Is
who Is unhappy because she Is
not popular. One sentence in
her letter gives me the keynote
to her trouble, and 1t is this:
IT am independent and, there
fore, stay at home"
| have always been rather
proud of the fact that | was
independent" but have found
thru experience that being indie
pendent often builds up a wall
between you and other people
who would be your friends. In
temperance in virtue usually
results in a vice, and this in
dependence is really nothing
more or less than selfishness
in a way.
We are often told that ws
reap as we SOW, but do not
hear SO often that il we do not
SOW we cannot reap. IL a far
mer were to sit around waiting
to reap q crop when he had not
sown any seed, we would think
him fit subject for an asylum,
but people often sit around MAX
ing no effort to cultivate friends
and still expect to reap a har-
vest of friends and sweethearts.
1t can not be done any more
than the farmer can reap crop
when he has not sown seed.
Just try making yourself
congenial with everyone with
whom you come in contact and
SOW seeds of kindness, friend
ship and love and you will
reap the same, for you cannot
receive unless you give. 1t is
the law; try it and you will
see that it works. have
proven it, and others can too.
Yours for FAIR PLAY.

Correct, Mr.. Chancellor!

Anyhow, Bonar Law, chancellor of the British
exchequer, feels cheerful about it.
Last year, Great Britain loaned the allies s., 525,
100000, while the United States loaned them 3d.
750O00,00O. "It is only necessary for to lean
on the United States to the amount the other allies
lean on us. In other words, we self-support-
ing" says Bonar Law.
Passing ones debts along to third party surely
is a happy process But Uncle Sam is the reliable
and willing party to lean on, all right.
