OF the future soldier. so this year
We are going to be extremely fore

The other day Miss Julia Lath-

claiming our sacrificed innocents

shall have an adequate corps Of

The Reverse Of the Medal.
We will now regard the reverse

have in this country between eight

mothers, but perhaps II is not too

The Spirit of Great Joan
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Copyright. 1918. Star Co.

Back of each soldier who fights for France,
Aye, back of each woman and man
Who tolls and prays through these long tense days,
Is the spirit of Great Joan;
For the love she gave, and the life she gave
In the eyes Of God sufhced
To crown her with light and power and might
That make her second to Christ.
And so in that hour at the Marine she
To the seeing eyes of men,
And the blind of view still felt and knew
That her spirit had come again.
And she will come in each crucial hour
And JOY shall follow despair,
For Joan secs her France on It's knees
And she hears the voice of its prayer.
There is no hate in the heart of France,
But mighty moral force
And she takes her stand for her worshipped land
And cannot be swerved from her
For this is the way with France Away
Her courage comes from faith;
And she bends her knee she Strengthens her arm
In her forward rush toward death.
jungle of beasts in the heart of the Hun
War to the world laid bare;
And war has revealed that France concealed
Only the lions lair.
A Goness fighting to save her own,
She fights as the ioness can;
And strength to the end shall the Unseen send
In the spirit of Great Joan.

We are as reckless in regard to

have been in regard TO our timber

OUR DOOMED 100000 BABIES

But our Puritanical silence
seems, at last, to be broken. The
American Association for Labor
Legislation has begun TO discuss
q maternity insurance modelled
along the lines that the French
adopted years ago.
We shall take the case of a fac
tory. department store, group
Of teachers, or any other unit
OF men and women engaged in
earning their living. An infinitesi-
NAL amount is regularly collected
from all pay envelopes, which is
turned into q maternity insurance
fund. With this slight provision
assured, there is naturally an in
crease in the number of mar
riages, among the employees Of that
particular group. Bear in mind
that everyone is taxed from the
beginning of his or her employ
ment, the fund increasing auto
matically with every pay day.
Tho benefit is payable to in
sured women or the wives Of in
sured men, and it is equal to the
regular sick benefit Of the insured.
Eight weeks leave is granted, six
weeks of which must be subse-
quent to the birth Of the child.
The fund covers all birth costs,
proper medical and surgical atten-
ton and all necessary appliances.
Not Enough Day Nurseries.
The French have followed ma
ternity insurance with creche or
day nursery system that is far su-
perior to anything We have in
this country. This is the next re-
form TO which we must turn our
attention, day homes where chill
dren may be comfortably and
scientifically cared for, while the
parents are down town earning a
living.
She Wants to Marry q Rich Man.
But | don't want to work after

the other day. Il intend to marry
a rich man" Please let me say.
these letters, on the subject of the
self-supporting married woman,
are not addressed to this thrifty
young lady or her class. They are
intended for that great army Of
workers that slngly cannot afford
TO marry, and in the face OF bitter
economical conditions, are forced,
both OF them, TO work, or to remain
single.
As a nation we have too long
overlooked this class, we have let
II die out when we needed its pluck,
It's grit, It's stamina In the great
American melting pot. But we in
tend to reform, not only in regard
to the working men and women.

hundred thousand doomed bablss.
