Y. W. c. 4. WORK IN FRANCE
Mrs. T. Coleman du Pont Gives Interesting Description
TO Teachers
TO eachers

huts similar to the Y. NJ. G. A. huts
but adapted particularly to the
needs Of women, where sewing or
writing may be done and where
cup of tea with real sugar may be
obtained. The food situation in
France, she said, was better than
in England, although no sugar,
candy, cake or cream cheese could
be obtained anywhere. She told of
the joy with which an English
friend received two pounds Of
sugar presented by one Of her
party.
Mrs: dupont described condi-
tions in the hospitals just behind
the lines and brought the en-
couraging report that the men are
cheerful, happy, and well cared
for. She told how the injured are
taken from the dressing stations to
hospitals farther back from the
lines. The shell shock men, how
ever, must be kept within sound of
the guns or they will probably not
be fit again for service.
A high tribute was paid to the
/ French women who are carrying
on all the work of the country. The
harvest2 are not quite normal ow-
ing to the ineXperience of the Wo,
! men but nearly all Of the land is
under cultivation. The work among

seven miles long where was kept
an abundance of every thing our
men could possibly need. She told
Of the gratitude of the French peo-
pile for every thing America has
done, their anxiety to learn the
English language and their asur-
ance that without American aid the
war could not be won.
In conclusion Mrs. DUPONT eX-
planned the purpose and pledge of
the Patriotic League and stated
that 100000 had already pledged
themselves to do some additional
and very definite war work. She
delivered a comforting message
from the men "over there" that the
home folks should not worry.
Everything possible is being done
for their comfort.

ARE YOU 4 WOMAN SLACKER?
Some Pertinent Questions to Ask Yourself

If YOU think because you have
bought Thrift Stamps and Liberty
Bonds you need do nothing else
YOU are a Stacker. Bonds and
stamps help, but they are good
investment for you. Do something
that means sacrifice.
If YOU spread ugly stories about
the government (such as that we
are sending food material to the
brewers Of England-which is a
lie) you are hindering war-effi-
cheney, and hindered war-etficlency
means more American lives lost.
You are worse than a Stacker. You
come near to being traitor. Ger
many is counting on spreading just
such stories, and has got all kinds
of false statements and evidence
disseminated by clever means. Are
you going to help her?
What are the war services that
the United States asks of its Wo-
men?
Red Cross work.
Food production and conserva-
ton.
Patriotic Education and Amerj-
canization Of aliens.
Protection, both physical and
moral of the thousands Of women
who must be pushed into new in
dustries through the departure of
men. Don't imagine that your com
munity does not need it.
Child conservation, that the
children shall not suffer by the up
heavals Of war. Don't imagine that
your community does not need it..
Registration for war service.
Making ourselves more efficient
and faithful in home service -
sancitifying the daily duties by the
spirit of sacrifice and Of patriO-
tism.
Giving our money, our strength,
our devotion in no grudging spirit,
but with fervor and gratitude for
our great opportunity.
The Woman's Committee Of the
Council of National Defense is
authorized by the Government,
created and organized all over the
United States to help this work
It wishes to include every woman'*
organization and every individual,
woman, in team work for PatriO.
tism. Don't be a Stacker. Come ir
and help. The government calls
YOU to service, and every woman II
, America can do her part. You have

her party sought refuge in under
ground shelters. Seven times in 48
hours in building used as joint
school and hospital 1000 people
sought refuge in the cellar, the
patients being carried down since
there are no elevators.
The condition of the children

OUR NATIONAL TRADEMARK

Congressman Sims has introduced & bill in the house proposing to es- aablish by authority of congress a national trade mark for goods pro sHced in the U. s. A. It is not a bad Idea, at that, provided our American manufacturers will have any use for the insignia when the war is over. There is no doubt that goods stamped Made in the U. s. A" will sell bet ter in certain quarters of the globe than those bearing the brand, Made tn Germany" but we should not per M1t ourselves to be carried away with tsis appealing sentiment.
 Business knows no sentiment and she scramble for commerce that will come during the reconstruction period is bound to usher in a reign of cut throat competition that will play no taVorites among the nations. The bonds of sentiment and seIf-sacrifice that now hold nations together will be dissolved with the advent of peace. and our friends at arms will im-I mediately become our foes in com H0erce. That America now professes, and is generally accepted, to be the champion of all deserving nations, is no guarantee that she will gain a fair share of the worlds commerce without making fight for it. It is foolish to calculate on holding a dol lars worth of international trade on such a flimsy basis. Existing friend ships will soon be forgotten when the battleflags are furled and the compe- tition for commanding commercial position will be the fiercest I'll all his. tory. Besides, it is just barely pos sible that the nations now friendly to us will feel that we have been we'll paid for our services.
 All Ol WHICH IS more or less or speculation, but of this one thing we are certain: Unless our tariff law is sensibly revised, so as to secure to American trade the protection it will need, our chief concern as to national trade marks will be how to meet the competition of foreign brands right here at home. The probabilities are, unless the administration radically changes it's course, that the only na- tional trade mark we will sport will be a patch on the seat of our pants similar in design to that adopted of necessity by the American people dur ing the Cleveland administration

Non Vult Plea Saves
Slayer From Chair
Precedent Established in Jersey
Court That May Abolish
Death Penalty

PATERSON, n. j.. Jan. 22.-EmaMucl
Cattalone, who killed and dismcmbcrcd
his brothcr-in-law, Stephen Casa, here
last November. pleaded non vult to
murder and was sentenced to life inn
prisonment here to-day, thereby cstab
fishing a precedent through which the
death penalty III New Jersey may be-
come dead letter.
When Cattalone was first arraigned
three weeks ago his lawyer. Judge Kie-
rert, entered g. plea Of not guilty.
When the trial began to-day Judge
Minturn found the attorney for the de-
fence unwilling to contest the indict-
ment. A plea of non vult was then
entered under Il proviso contained in
Section 107 of the crimes act as amend
ed by Chapter :3S of the laws of 1917.
This follows:
provided that nothing herein con-
tanned shall pre-" vent the accused from
pleading non vult or nolo contendere
to such indictment, the sentence to be
imposed, if such plea be accepted, shall
DC either Imprisonment at hard Labor
for life or the same as that imposed
upon conviction of murder in the
second degree"
Judge >Minturn was obliged under
THIS ruling, considering the plea of the
prisoner, to commit him to prison for
life.
After disposing of this case Tessuro
Maure. Of Lodi, who was charged with
stabhing Nicholas Rczchi to death. cn-
tered the non vult plea and also es-
capped the electric chair.
