THE WORK OF THE K. OF C.
 IN THE ARMY AND NAVY

His mail is heavier than that of the average business firm and most of his letters require not only a reply, but some personal service.
 He acts as sort of Godfather to soldiers and sailors and the men in the service knowing this, feel no hesi- tapcy in asking him to do things for them.
 Mothers of men in the service quick ly learn that a K. of c. secretary is the right person to ask that some per sonal service be rendered to their lov- ed ones in the ranks. Their request is never refused if it is possible to grant it, and many soldiers wonder how it is that certain comforts, not usually extended to men in the camps but to which they are accustomed at home, are made possible for them.
 "Write to mother often" is placard- ed generously at all K. of c. buildings and, if a soldier is seen "loafing," it is safe bet that K. of c. secretary will call his attention to the printed suggestion-especially if that particu- lar soldiers relatives have ever asked tie K. of c. secretary to find out why he didn't write home regularly or of- tener.
 K. of c. secretaries always try to have on file at K. of c. building the "home" papers of as many of the men as possible. It is big task in itself to look after this feature of a camp building, but K. of c. secretary man. ages to find time to look after it.
 A K. of c. secretary library usually contains about 300 volumes The sec rctary is not only librarian but he ire quently has to decide what is the best book for certain soldiers to read. They put it up to him and he must make good. Only the secretary, him. self, knows when he finds time to read

THE FAIRY GATE TO
 THE GREATS

GA bedtime story written by little girl in Kingman, not yet 12 years old.)
 The rain came pattering down on the window pane. Mary, sweet lit tie girl of 8, sat in the window seat asleep. Her hair, which was the color of October nuts, hung in ringlets about her neck and shoulders. Her cheeks were the color of June roses and her lips as red as cherries. She was dressed in pale blue and Fairy Tale book lay open in her lap.
 As she sat there the Fairy in the picture rose and bade her come with her.
 "Come," said she, land I will show you a beautiful land where Fairies dwell."
 She was already disappearing through the window and Mary follow ed.
 In a few minutes they found them selves in front of two large pillars of rock some feet apart. This was the Fairy Gate. As they passed through ii two little Elves dressed in tiny blue uniforms stepped out, saluted, then disappeared.
 | After the gate was passed they i found themselves in land of eternal sunshine.
 To her great surprise, Mary found her clothing as dry as when she start ed, though she had come all the way through the pouring rain. She for got this, however, in less than min- ute for the Fairy pointed out little Elf sitting on the edge of lily with his legs crossed and humming tune by which three Elf children were dan cing.
 They passed on after a few minutes and came to space made brilliant by many twinkling lights of all col ors in the center of which stood a most beautiful palace.
 On the lawn the Fairies were hav- ing dance. Mary watched them fill ed with delight and listened to the beautiful music played by the Fairy Band.
 Then the Fairy took her into the palace, where they passed through one gorgeous room after another and thence through passage where they passed vault after vault of rich ores, among which were gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc.
 "These," said the Fairy, "are the hidden treasures of the Fairies. The people of your race are always trying to find these vaults and have succeed ed in finding and robbing some of them" 1 The Fairy was still talking when Mary heard human voice. She look ed around. She was in the window seat where she had first seen the Fairy. It was still raining hard. The Fairy was again in the picture and mother was waiting to put her to bed.
 As she gazed through the pouring l rain she could see the two pillars of rock which mark the Fairy Gate to the Cerbats, the land filled with the untold riches of the Fairies and Elves.

these books.
 Soldiers too bashful to dance be- cause they are not skilled in it, get pri- vate lessons from K. of c. secretary. If the secretary doesn't know how to dance-he learns so he may teach the boys in the service.
 Photoplays are usually exhibited twice weekly at K. of c. buildings. If the projector operator is not on deck who also is there to show the pictures? ? MT. Secretary, of course. Where did he learn to operate photoplay pro- jector? Ask him!

BENGAL BILL, LIOIN TAMER, TREATS FEM
 ROUGH
(By Guy Hubbart)

Someone has to take care of the big cats in the circus and so Bengal Bill,' lion tanner and all-around animal man. had to stay with the big top when the younger boys joined up with the tank regiment. "Treat Elm Rough" appeal ed 10 Bengal Bill like yeast does to dough. It made him raise right up But "56 years this August" put him out of the running. And then there is Rajah, the big Bengal cat. He has to be groomed and cuddled.
 But Bengal Bill didn't drop clean out. He took a look at his roll of ''back money" saved for many a year with the Greatest on Earth, and said: "I'm gonna give Rajah a little present just to make up for him and me not gitting our swipe at the church. bombing boches. Gosh, how I'd like to turn old Rajah and his temper onto them gents. He'd trim the kaiser up to suit me in about one minute. See them front fangs and that cute little curve on the jaw and them shoulders and Hanks? See em! One swipe and tAa crown prince would look like a hamburg steak, begging the steaks pardon. But they can't use Rajah nor me.
 "But "e're gonna fight, believe me. Phi gonna buy me ard Rajah 30 bucks worth of them War Savings Stamps and let our dough treat lem rough. Amt we. FajaE? We'll buck them birds long range if we can't get our claws onto lem. Moneys just as good as guns, they say, and me and Rajah are gonna chip in our bit while the U. s. A. can use it to the best advantage.
 "1'd rather fight if they'd take me and this 600 pound kitty would, too, but moneys our lay, so here she is 30 bucks and we're coming back with more. Just put on the front of them little books of Thrift Stamps Bengal Bill and Rajah.' Thanks"
 You can put your treat 'em Rough" money in with Rajah's and Bengal Bills. They'll be glad if you do, and you'll be proud if you do.
 Money means power to fight and War Savings Stamps will bring it in. Every dollar brings victory dollar nearer. Don't forget that for single minute.

Just American

Just today we chanced to meet Down upon the crowded street; And l wondered whence he came, What was once his nations name. So l asked him, "Tell me true, Are you Pole or Russian Jew, English, Scotch, Italian, Russian, Belgian, Spanish, Swiss, Moravian, Dutch, Greek or Scandinavian" Then he raised his head on high, As be gave me this reply: What was is naughty to me, In this land of Liberty. In my soul as man to man, 1 am just American"

Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for il will
starve your hair and ruin it if you don't
II doesn't do much good to try TO
brush or wash it out The only sure
way TO get rid Of dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely To do
this, get about -four ounces Of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips
BY morning, most, if not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of.it.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair viii look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. IT is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have This simple
remedy never fails

URGE WOMEN To
FILL MEMS PLACES
Is Necessary, State Defence Com.
mittee Says, to Help Win
the War.

Delaware's Women's Committee of the
State Council of Defense, has received the
following letter from the National Coun-
ell, vocing an especial appeal for the wo-
men of Delaware, to join with their sisters
in other States and across the Atlantic in
war work The letter follows:
millions of men will be drawn from
civilian life, through last weeks regis
tration. Already over two and half mil
lion have gone out of their accustomed
work to serve in the war. Public and pri-
vate citizens are consequently much handi-
capped by the difficulty of obtaining help,
TO take the places made vacant by these
outgoing men. In many railway centers,
there is a distressing congestion of bag
gage There is complaint that the mall
telegraph and telephone service lack the
expedition to which we are accustomed
Dry-goods houses, grocers and other food
distributing agencies, are everywhere
short of help. If the machinery of every
day is to be run smoothly for the re-
mainder of the war, women must come
forward at this time much more generally
than they have done to take the places OF
men.
"Women can and have successfully
served as checkers and record-keepers Of
variety, drivers of delivery wagons con-
ductors on street cars, motor drivers and
drivers of traction machinery. All the
cupations that do not require strength or
long training, can be filed by them.
There are many women equipped and
ready to assume the direction of offices and
help them regain their former efficiency;
there arc other women who can and would
do the unskilled work successfully.
England has at least million women
in her banks, factories, munition plants,
railway and shipyards who have never
worked for wages before. What English
women have done, American women can
do Victory over there means work
earned dollar and who will never need
to, should heed the call of our country
for workers at this time. Employers are
probably skeptical and women unwilling
TO force their services where they are un-
welcome, hut there need be no discomfort
and few domestic problems, If women
will now fill the vacancies caused by the
outgoing of husbands, SONS, brothers and
friends
Employers, we ask you to give women
a fair and complete trial Women we
appeal to you to supply the workers to
meet the widespread demand Ii IS

SCHOOLHOUSE HELD UP.
Government Ruling May Delay Project
ut Union Park Gardens.

A strict Interpretation Of the law
curtailing all Municipal constructions
not sanctioned by the Capitol Issues
Committee of this Federal District
bids fair to hold up indefinitely the
project for n School-house contemplated
in the Union Park Gardens housing
project.
George b. Miller, president of the
local board of education, has taken
the matter up with the authorities at
Washington. When he received a circular
on the subject he at once got into COM
munication with Richard l.. Austin,
chairman of the Capital Issues Com
mittee, and stated just what had been pro-
posed here in the interest of the increased
population of children of school age.
The local Board of Education has
engaged an expert TO make survey of
school conditions here, especially IN
the section of the housing project and
has also taken up the matter with the
National Board of Education at Wash
ington.
