EVERY LITTLE HELPS

We all are doing what we can, 10 make the war big success, to help along the Red Cross plan, or to allevi ate distress. 1 see the busy women knit, as down the village street come, I watch their shining needles fly, hear their silver thimbles hum, I mark the farmer as he shucks his corn and throws it in van, and he, while earn ing needed bucks, is helping, like a little man. 1 watch the poet slug his tyre. and sing glad songs about the flag; and his poor effort may inspire some man who finds his courage sag. l note the grocer sells his prunes. he asks d modest price per pound, and as he nails the picayunes, he helps to make the wheels go round. The pastor of the village kirk, who in his pulpit takes his stand, and urges men to pray and work, is helping, too, 10 beat the band All men who pass along a smile, a word Of courage and of cheer are doing some thing worth the while. they help to bring our triumph rear. He does not help who idle stands, who saws no wood, who tills no soil, who loafs around with empty hands, discouraging the lads who toil.-Walt Mason.

Handicraft of the Blind

The Maryland Workshop for the
Blind stands for the betterment OF
the condition OF those deprived Of
sight, along all lines. 1t aims to mako
this unfortunate class self-reliant self.
respecting and as far as possible, self
supporting; to help them to help them
selves through work, and above all,
not to pauperize them. At the corner
Of Fayette and Pacs streets, Balti'
more, Maryland, may be found this e1.
cellent institution. Here daily, like
sslf-respecting citizens OF the world,
come one hundred and fifty blind men
and women, who toll cheerfully and
efficiently. Many of them are from
the counties. To all are given equal
opportunities, and the same handicap
during instruction.
Here too, may be found competent
and willing instructors, for the most
part blind, who having mastered the
difficulties which beset the blind, by
example and precept, help others to
overcome. Chair-caning, broom-mak-
ing, Misunderstanding, piano tuning,
weaving, basketry, and switchboard
operating are some Of the crafts
taught.
We have one hundred men on our
waiting list To these will be added
those, blinded in battle, who will come
70 us from "over there" The Gov
srnment has decided to make Balti-
more, the frst station, and to send
soldiers, after convalescence, to we'll
established, existing institutions.
Much may be said of the aptitude.
infinite patience, and efficiency OF the
blind.
Many of these men are heroes, VINO
play their quiet part well, IN these
epoch making days. For them, no
blare Of trumpets, nor the lure OF the
battlefield, but as surely, will they re-
ceive their "cross Of war" their need
of praise, good and faithful soldier,
we'll done"
Visitors are assured Of cordial well
come. One visit to the well-hghteo
plant serves to convince the surprised
patron Of the excellence of the crafts
manship of the trained blind. Chairs
are perfectly caned; no better brooms
are manufactured anywhere; the same
may be claimed for other hnisheo
nroducts of their deft fingers. All
work guaranteed" Is true in fact AZ
we'll as in theory. The customer who
first comes from motives of sympathy,
soon patronizes the institution for its
marked efficiency.

After BOmbproof Warriors.

Washington, April 2.-The pro-
cess of eliminating bombproof army
Jobs for men of draft age is under
way. A few individual cases where
draft age men have been favored with
commissions lately, however, are still
under the watchful eye of Congress,
and protest is likely to be forth
coming soon if the situation is not
altered.
The general plan, however, is to
rid Washington Of draft-age officers
whose places can be filled by Older
men or civilians and to give the
youthful desk men field service.
The process cannot be carried cX-
tremcly far. Some of the highest
army officials point out that it is es-
sential to have vast army behind
the lines and that only compara-
tive small part of this stay-at-home
force consists of 'slickers."
Six to II men are required to sup
port soldier on the line. And there
are many men here, it ispointed out,
who are tied to desk jobs who would
prefer outside service. The present
cleanup is intended to rid the army
of men with secure commissions who
have sought the desk jobs as a safety
first post.

Josiah Chapman thoughtfully turned
the envelope in his hand over and over
before opening it. 1t was like others
received at intervals during the past

to marry and he could recall every

WEAKNESS. Then he felt angered
There was also Il hurt that she could
give him so little time as merely to
send an address as she moved from
place to place. But at last he accepted
the situation, although once he thought
of joining her and coming to some un-
derstanding of this unusual state of
affairs, almost on the eve of marriage.
He rejected this, however, feeling sure
he would receive an explanation later.
He was in this state of mind when

In this he was mistaken. What ne
read caused him quickly to leave the
room. Two hours later he was jour
neying westward in the grip of fear
like nothing he had ever known.
The letter had been three weeks
upon the way. 1t would be three weeks
before he could reach her. Over and
over he reread the few written lines
and concentrated his mind in an effort
to discover what was between them.
"Joe, DEAR" she had written, "can
