Do not throw your old stockings

Thousands upon thousands of worn
out stockings have been shipped

machines constructed for that very
purpose) converted into useful
garments. Anyone who burns or
otherwise destroys these or any
other article of clothing (no mat

usefulness) without first consult :

A LOYAL CONGRESSMAN.

President Wilson seems to have
rather definitely settled a much moot
ed question by his opposition to the
candidacy for reelection of Congress
man Slayden Of Texas, which resulted
In that gentleman Withdrawing from
the race. Mr.. Slayden voted for both
the Conscription Bill and the Declara-
ton Of War, but had q consistent anti
preparedness record and voted against
the Kahn Amendment substituting the
selective draft for the volunteer sys-
tenn In the COnscriptiOn Bill.
There has been much discussion as
to whether q COngressman's loyalty or
war record should be judged accord
ing to the way he voted on the Dec
laration Of War and has voted since,
or whether his opposition to ante-war
measures looking to the military eff
cheney Of the country should be count.
ed against him. President Wilson ap-
pears to have answered the question.
In line with this viewpoint as to the
war fitness Of Congressman the Ma.
tional Security Leagues Congressional
Campaign Committee has just issued q
chart giving the record of the votes
Of all the members of the House OF
Representatives in the Sixty-fourth
and Sixty-fifth Congresses on the eight
principal preparedness and war meas
ures, from the McLemore Resolution
to the Kahn Amendment. The Securi.
ty Leagues committee analyzes the
chart by individuals and by states. It
shows that of the 374 men who sat in
both Congresses only Al voted right
on all eight measures; that Z voted
wrong on all eight, % wrong on seven
of the measures, 80 wrong on six and
IS wrong on five.
North Dakota heads the bad record
list with a percentage Of 1915 wrong
votes. Colorado is a close second with
q percentage Of 1872
These figures clearly indicate that
there Is decided room for improvement
In the present constitution Of Con-
gress and make an unanswerable argu-
ment for the support Of the National

REAL INSTRUMENTATION.

"Make the United States a One Ian.
guage Nation" is the watchword adopt.
ed by the National Security League for
one Of the great divisions of its work,
directed by a Committee on Foreign
Language and Foreign Press. This
committee is devoting its attention at
the present time toward obtaining the
elimination Of the teaching of German
In the public schools Of the country
and the discontinuance Of newspapers
printed in German. The thought back
OF this effort Of the Security League,
however, as set forth by Col. Charles
q. Lydecker, president Of the League,
IN q recent interview goes far beyond
enemy alien considerations.
ut is the duty Of every citizen to
know the English tongue" says Colo
mel Lydecker. ITO refuse to learn It is
to fling defiance at the nation. To neg
lect to learn 1t is voluntarily to remain
unfit for the duties Of American citi-
zenship. We are justified in expecting
open and loyal conduct, and we claim
the right to insist upon this. Ameri-
canization really means education. II
we educate our people properly we
shall make true Americans of our citi-

Justice to the cause for which we fight
demands stronger measures. They
must be compelled to convince them
selves Of the value and the Justice of
American ideas, and this requires q
knowledge Of the English language"
All the arguments on that so fire.
Quently nebulous term "Americaniza-
ton" would seem to be summed up
here. What could be simpler or more
c0mmon-sensible than that q man to
fully appreciate America must know
