The Girls In the Trenches.

Nvra X was a ao-year-old school teacher in
a town in Southern Ohio For this she received 500
per month. When war was declared Myras two
brothers enlisted thereby depicting the family in
come Then Myra offered a position with the
government in Washington at 81, 200 per year. Ihis
was big money and Myra packed her grip and lett
the little Ohio town. When she reached Wash
ington she found that there was little difference be-
tween 500 at home and $Ioo here. But that IS not
the point of the story.
Myra found herself a room and for several weeks
her new duties kept her mind busy, but then the
newness began to off and she wondered what
to do with her spare moments. What can girl
do in Washington? Myra a refined, good-look-
ing young girl bubbling over with lifc-and she
loved to dance but she could find nothing OF the
recreative sort in Washington. She resigned her
position last week and returned to the little
Ohio town, with tale Of the cold and dull Capital
What can girl do in Washington? This is
vital question for citizens to consider. She
can go to the Public Library. Yes but who in
thunder wants to spend their life in public library?
Can she dance, she meet people OF her own
age, can she find any safe place in the town
where she will be welcomed?
Every one these days is looking after the boys
in the trenches 1t is time to give some con-
sderation to the girls in the trenches. And this
hits Washington particularly for the government,
the telephone company, ana various Quiet lHuuS-
tries are bringing in girls by the thousands These
girls must be taken care of in other ways besides
food and shelter. Forget entertaining the boys for
a while We have yet been in town or
city where a could not find entertainment of
some sort. But the bars eternay down to a
woman
We believe that the lonesome-girl problem is a
big one at this time and would be pleased to
print letters from those who interested whether
you are one of the lonesome girls or whether you
have some suggestion to make toward entertaining
those girls.
And remember in making your suggestions
that these girls are live human beings objects
of organized charity. Try to work out some plan
which will not destroy the Individuality of the girl.
Let's start a lonesome girls club. The Herald will
gladly assist in any plans that may be found
feasible in making the life of feminine cti-
zens more bearable

Food the War Pivot.

There is no need of rationing in America" says
the Food Administration, in announcing that legis-
lation shortly will be asked of Congress "for some
further extension Of the Presidents powers to en-
force conservation in manufacturing trades and IN
public eating places"
Here at last Mr.. Hoover is striking at the heart
of his problem and no less significant is his state
ment that the holding of more than thirty days
supplies by dealers, manufacturers, wholesalers and
retailers constitutes boarding. and the purchase OF
more than the usual amount by consumers will like
wise be so construed"
But we believe that the final touch to food con-
troll will come only when the retailers brought
within leash-when there is ACTUAL price con-.
troll for the protection of consumers and the
considerable boosting of prices. This form OF reg
ulation is almost certain to come, and should not
be delayed
The Food Administrator breaches conservation
and economy to the American people coupled with
an assurance our savings are to furnish the exact
measure OF the food aid which America will furnish
to her allies in Europe. I'VE will not export more
than surplus, he says, in reply to reports that
owing the insstent appeals from abroad, the gov
ernment had decided to take chance domes-
Tic shortage in the spring to meet their needs" and
that Officials possible shortage OF flour in the
United States in May before the new wheat crop
comes in in June"
This form of management would be so obviously
suicidal for Mr.. Hoover that his denial is hardly
necessary He is not going to gamble on anything
ruin his standing at home, for the sake OF en-
hancing it abroad.
The issue is squarely up to Americans. They
must send all the wheat to Europe that they posi-
bly, spare; they practice selfdenal for just
a small dcgree-perhaps not more than 10 per
cent-oi that sel-denial which has become habitua
with the people of England and France.
Says Mr.. Hoover: I'VE asking the American
people to reduce further their consumption of wheat
products and use other foodstutfs, for the allies
must also have some wheat well as ourselves" !"
Thar is the point-further reduction. The allies
need from 100000 to 9o,oooooO bushels more of
American wheat, but We have less than 100000
bushels to send to them-all that we have saved in
the past FIVE months.
Surely we give more to our friends overseas
who have not only borne the brunt of the for
three years and more, but are bearing it while
We are preparing. 1t is the least do. 1t is
50 easy and insignificant, ! the thing only be kept
in mind, and yet it is vftal For remember
THE allies have reduced the bread ration to
their people sharply the last few days, and if
this lowered ration is to be maintained must

Digging His Own Grave.

An old man of Rising Sun, Nebr, dug his own
grave When he had finished digging and was remov-
ing the supports he fell into the grave and killed
Now his body rests in death the grave he spent many
days digging.
at is rarely that man digs his grave" wrote
the newspaper correspondent who sent the story
With that we beg to differ Most men-yes, and
many women too--dig their own graves
Oh, no. they don't spades, shovels and picks.
They don't do their gravedgging in earth, and they
don't fall into it after the digging is done and thus
kill themselves.
But they dig their own graves just the same, mil
lions of human beings.
They dig their graves with incorporate habits over
Worry passion lack of sleep, of food, drink
work. They dig their graves when they try to exist
without sufficient fresh air. They dig their graves
when they live in unsanitary homes workshops.
They dig their graves when they don't get enough
food sleep, recreation. They dig their graves when
they disobey any of natures laws
They-in digging their own graves-bring i'll health,
unhappiness often poverty and insanity to themselves
and pain and sorrow to those who love them best
A better and wiser way TO dig ones grave is to
follow the example of the aged Nebraskan and 90 it

Mr.. Baker on the Stand.

The Secretary of War was an excellent witness
in his behalf. His ball-bearing, frictionlcss
mind carried him safely through the Scya and
Charybdis which his inquistors forced his craft to
navigate. He survived his grilng by the hard
headed Senators without single bead of perspira-
tion his brow, unruffed, smiling and victorious
Mr. Baker was called by critic an "nscruta-
bic sophst," and another drew a sorry picture of
how he pulled herring across the trail whenever
the scent got too hot. 1t seemed to be the verdict
yer-like guile and subtlety, shown by his ncompar-
able skill in handling half-truths, and by his swift
ridcule of faulty logic insufficient grasp of facts
which his tormentors frequently revealed He ex-
posed no weak points. He was not caught mapping
He admitted nothing and laid the burden of proof
on those who were quite conscious they were not
the peers in verbal fencing of the man whom they
sought to pillory..
AS result of the Baker performance the real
facts concerning the War Departments discharge
o its duties during the past nine months remain as
apochryphal and inscrutabe as ever. The Secretary
of War has made clear the enormous scope of his
task; but he has had the craft to cover up all the
places where his machine broke down, all the points
where red tape made sorry mess. "Reorganiza-
tion@ is the departmental camouflage that coneeals
the past and stimulates hope of the future. The
Secretary has reduced his iuqusitors to the

The Open Forum
BRIGHTER WORLD.
Writer Sees on Horizon Dawn of
Universal Brotherhood.

Editor, The Washington Herald:
This world war will bring a brighter
and better civilization-an evangelical
people; a consecrated brotherhood.
The vision seems clear that prophecS
Is being fulfilled and the divinity
of holy writ established.
A breakdown of Creeds, dogmas and
ritualism is appearing on all sides.
Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller, jr., recently
had the frankness and courage to
predict that technicalities should no
longer prevail but the Christlife lived
and not the Credible.
Theologians, evangelists and doc
trinaires have preached, taught ana
written with great zeal to establish
mems faith in the inspiration of the
Bible, but with despairing results
while agnosticism. atheism, inhdeHty
and skepticism followed their efforts
in persistent waves. What then Is the
war demonstrating? Truly the fulfill
ment of prophecy by placing all ma
tIons, all peoples, all races and all
religions in one great phalanN SIDE py
side on land and sea battling in
common cause, termed democracy
Here we have the Christian, the
Jew, the Confucian, the Mohammedah,
the Buddhist, the Shintoist and the
Hindoo, giving up their lives, sur
fering and fighting together. Can
this sacrifice and fidelity to one great
Christian principle democracy fail
to produce a Brotherhood?
Can the great war councils Of kings,
presidents, statesmen and diplomats
directing the armies and navies as
the voice of their peoples to establish
right against might be other than the
voice Of God? All of this establishes
in a few years the inspiration and
divinity OF, holy writ more convinc-
ingly and effectively than theologians
have IN sen.s.lss .,,s,, :, ;h.t ,ro,.,rous
