ton, as no presents may be mailed un.
less packed in cartons.
After the carton has been filled, be
fore wrapping, it must be brought to
Red Cross mailing headquarters and OF
fieially inspected. If everything is all
right, it is then officially sealed by the
Red Cross and the label attached. No
one may take a carton home and mail
it. On each carton the Red Cross viii
attach the label and the sender will
pay postage at the rate of IL cents q
pound, or fraction thereof.
AS a carton is not TO weigh more

til that date, women viii be in charge
of the mailing desk in the P. R., L. & p

she claimed, but nevertheless collated
from her official records-an except
the filth OF her large cities. 1t sounds

course, conditions have gotten even
worse with women doing work that
would stoop the shoulders Of the

ACID TEST FOR COLLEGES.

France has made her educational program IN
preparation for the future and her higher
schools are aleady changed institutions in many
ways Great Britain has her educational bill
before parliament In such shape that Its de-
tails are being debated preliminary to passage;
Oxford and Cambridge have led the move to
make drastic changes in the routine OF CEN
turtles in English university training. We are
still discussing the whole matter; only on one
point do our educational leaders seem to agree:
that something must be done. Our college
presidents are not idle, but so far as known
there is no concerted policy. The reason for
this is simple: there is as yet concert Of
opinion nor any means of compulsion. But it
is high time that our higher schools recognized
that they are to be subjected to a test by which
they individually viii stand or fall. And the
purpose Of this test will be public usefulness 1t
is a fine record they have made; the quality OF
service of the men they have sent-and they
have sent an enormous proportion of their men
in comparison with any other istitutions we
have-has been a sufficient refutation Of their
futility. But these same men they come
back from service are likely to be the severest
critics of the colleges. Moreover, what they
say will have great weight with the people.
Public service has assumed reality we have
not sensed in this generation. Our colleges
have in the past dominated our school ideals;
SO much 80 that revolt against this DONNA
tcn was successfully spreading when the war
broke out The college men-the big men
were freely saying new ideal WAS needed. Now
the new ideal is presented. It is preparation
for public usefulness. Our colleges will best
Justify themselves by supplying men for each
need of the nation. The needs of the nation will
be broader than any present curriculum; they

colleges viii lose public confidence. There is
little danger that they will fail to see and do
the necessary thing for conservatism, and off

have their way

Sioux City journal: An army of

That probably means that a year from

That is the Observation-Disclosures
sentences propaganda that Germany
covered the whole world with before
the war with the ostensible purpose Of
weakening the morale of her enemies
tn the war she then was planning.
Great credit is due to Chairman
Easley Of the National Civic Fedora
ton in his published refutation OF
Germans claims; just a few items
from that valuable document Will
prove Illuminating:
Widows pensions in Germany dur
ing series OF years averaged 81
cents a week; sick pensions IS cents
"a week; invalidity pension the same:
orphans pensions, 81 cents week
Wages averaged per day for carpen
ters, SLAB: plumbers, $1.25; railway
amployes-engn eers and conductors
ON state railways. 70 cents; shop work
ers, $102; male farm labor 70 cents
women farm labor ~ cents.
And this in a land where govern
ment statistics placed average cost OF
keeping families at over $500 pei
year. How did they make both ends
meet? BY working the whole family;
every second woman in Germany
worked during the before the war pc
riod-nearly ten million all tofd-and
as the writer can testify from an ex
tended trip throughout the empire, al
the hardest labor.
AS to hours. those OF skilled labor

Habits That Give Long Life.

Chicago Daily News: At the age
of eighty-one years John Burroughs,
the naturalist, now in Chicago, de-
votes a part of each day to cutting

detected something more than a mere
means OF maintaining physical sound

admirable simplicity that surrounds
the daily life of a man who has beau
tifully translated nature into litera-
ture-the simplicity that contributes
very materially to Commitment Real
sacrifices, it is expected, will be
asked of the American people before

mainly in giving up some of the soft

each citizen is as vitality concerned as any pub

and confer no license to destroy the nation or as
sist its foes But there is, he continued, field
for honest criticism which cannot be surren-
,dered without imperilling the essentials Of lib
erty and the preservation of the nation. Our
officers of government are not a privileged
class immune from criticism. Tie country can
not afford to turn its destiny over to men who
are too highly placed for candid review of their
acts. Critics of our government often de-
nounced as partisans but it is just as easy to be
ia partisan in assailing criticism In criticism
itself The man who defends everything his
party and its leaders do is just partisan as
the man who assails their acts and plans. If
