closing pool rooms during the period
OF the war will probably be introduced
in the general assembly in the session
which convenes a few weeks hence.
throughout the state there appears
to be crystallizing a strong sentiment
against these places on account of
the idleness and loafing which they

Gently recommended the closing of
pool rooms. Then came the an

Now comes Dr. J. W. Ham, the ia

Tabernacle of Atlanta, with a survey
showing that more than 1900 men ev-
cry day can be found in the pool
rooms of Atlanta alone. He asserts
that many of these loafers live on
the shameful prostitution furnished
them by women. He not only favors
closing the pool rooms but also sus-

IF NOT, COME ACROSS

From the Kansas City Star.
If you do not want to contribute
to the Red Cross, there are two rea-
sons you may assign for it,
THAT you are against the United
States; that you refused to help the
United States soldiers because you
want to see them defeated. That you
are opposed to France and Belgium,
England and the United States and
want to see them crushed by the
Hun.
2-That you are too stingy to part
with your money; that you want to
get rich at the expense of your coun-
try. That you love money more than
you do the cause for which the Am
erican soldiers are fighting, or the flag
for which they fight.
If you want to offer either one of
these excuses for not giving to the
Red Cross, get right up in public and
make your declaration. 1t will spare
busy men and women the time of
calling on you again or waiting while
you think it over"

THE TEST

(By John Brown Jewett, of the Wig
ilantes.)
This is your crisis, this is your hour
Eearth's oceans and its shores
Hold but one place of portent power
One duty-it is yours.
Think not to hide amid the crowd
That covers lands and sea;
The voice of Fate is calling loud;
Look to him, world-tis he!"
Yes, you-no other. None are born
To do what you must do;
No beaten captain waits such scorn
For failure, as must you.
1t is the test, the final ONE
Shall king or people reign?
Who are the people? There are none
If one is called in vain.
On you the sorrow, blood and cost,
The glory or the shame.
If freedoms cause today is lost,
You only are to blame.

Isl OK the housekeeper VINO IS ptan-
H2 ming for her summer quarters Il
is now time to look over her
supply of porch pillows, Gull
from the leftover collection the faded
ones and make new coverings. You
can't begin this important duty too
early.
Several things should be remembered
concerning the colors and materials
which appear on the cushions OF the
outdoors living room, into which the
American veranda has developed these
last few years. In selecting its cush-
ions it can not be treated like an or
binary room, as the brilliant light has
to be considered.
The adjacent lawn or garden, with its
flower beds and shrubs, is seen in con-
nection with the porch, so that the two
must be planned together. Some per-
sons before fitting out porch COM
pleteiy with cushions test samples Of the
cloth to see If they will stand sunlight
and water. One should never use hand
sonic embroidered or silk pillows on
the porch; comfort, not elaborateneSs,
should be the aim.
The covers, If possible, should be uni-
form in material and color, with pos
sibly one or two carefully chosen con-
trastinc shades TO avoid monotony. II
the materials are washable, two sets OF
removable covers are made for con-
vcnience in laundering.
If a porch happens 70 be ttted IN
brown wicker furniture, covers OF Hol-
land linen with a monogram in darker
brown are a good choice. Dark blue

OF blue makes decidedly smart covers
for a porch which has the natural col
ored wicker furniture and blue iute
rugs.
One woman has laid in a supply Of
blue and white plaid gingham. with a
finish OF the wild old-fashioned rick
rack, which she is planning to make Up
into pillow covers. Linen OF a rich
ecru finished with heavy dark blue
rickraok braid would also be serviceable
and effective.
Some very successful coverings have
been made from materials borrowed
from the kitchen, such as crash towel.
ling in the blue and red squares, and
what is called German dish cloth OF
heavy hand-woven cotton. creamy ir
color. This peasant cloth when trimmed
with an equally foreign looking red anc
blue cotton fringe is more than effec.
tive and worth while.
Some house furnishers provide tn,
porch seats with cushions covered witt
