compensate for the trouble of build ing up a conscription machine
 In any case there is no likelihood of mothers with children being called up, Their contribution to the national cause is apparent.
 These Work BraveIy
 More than million other women have been working hard and steadily, the majority of them at least five full days week, for two years or more without ray. They include the women and girls of comfortable cir cumstances who wash dishes, cook, answer telephone calls and do the hun dred and one odd jobs found around hospital. They are to be found in every cantecn and soldiers lodging house, in the munition making areas and even on railway platforms, direct ing columns of travelling troops from train to train. It would be of no ben
  ment to bring these women under con- scription, especially as thousands of them hold as many as three of those unpaid jobs apiece.
 The suffrage issue is one that the government surely must face again if conscription of women should be un- dertaken. This might not be diffi- cult, as the opposition to extending suffrage to the younger women could not stand up very long against the brave and efficient record of the young women who already are rcleas- ing many battolions of soldiers for the trenches.

ESCAPED PRISONER TELLS
 0F CERMANY's PLIGHT

TOULON, France, June 27.-Busi- ness, in the peace-time sense of the word, virtually is dead in Germany, asserts Sergeant Vuillemet, who with several comrades recently escaped from prisoner of war camp in Ger many and reached France, and who is on visit to his father here.
 According to his story, countless stores in Germany were closed and empty and everything that is being manufactured is for war purposes and for the state.
 The meat ration, he said, was 250 grams, one-half pound, per week, to which was added one-tenth of pound of grease or fat. Sugar and coffee were only dimly remembered luxuries The beer was virtually undrinkable and the people were living on potatoes and gbeets. The bread is said to be indigestible.
 Leather has almost entirely disap- peared, and the soldiers at home and many civilians wore wooden-soled shoes almost exclusively. Soldiers at home on furloughs were no longer permitted to spend all their time with their families or friends but must work part of the time in the factories.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-06-27

Richard Aldrich, weII-known musi. cal critic of the New York Times, has been commissioned a captain in the United States army. His work is of kind which the war department does not advertise, but is illustrative of the fact that the arts and letters are con tributing men who are helpina the conduct Of the war in unusual ways.

Coal shortage Caused Eight Weeks
Recess-Many Courses

After n recess of eight weeks ccca-
rioned by shortage OF coal the William
Penn Evening High School will reopen
Monday evening. March 4. The school
term will be heightened TO permit stu
dents to complete the courses upon which
they have entered. New students will
be received and new classes formed In all
subjects for which there Is sufficient de-
mand. according to the principal. DIR. j.
r. Rorer.
Patriotic as we'll as personal motives
will impel hundreds Of girls to take ad-
vantage Of the business courses. Women
rre taking SO many places formerly held
BY men that business training becomes
more and more essential. Although more
stenographers and bookkeepers are grad
uated by the schools each year, the sup
ply does not keep pace with the demand.
Courses will be given in English,
French. Spanish, arithmetic. algebra,
bookkeeping, sienography. typewrting,
office practice, saieslnanship. penman-
ship. library work. chemistry, music,
cooking, dressmaking. millinery, gymna-
sium work, physiology and hygiene.

Evolution Of the wheel

Naturally, there was a first man to
eat an oyster, and there must have
been some heroic pioneer to tackle
every edible article that is known to
civilization today, High authority has
bestowed eulogy on the man who In
vented the wheel, and some have gone
so far as to assert that this unidentl-
fed genius was the greatest benefac-
tor of the race, but we may doubt If
the wheel was really an invention. 1t
seems more likely to have been a
gradual discovery, the result Of a slow,
evolutionary process TO- which no man
or group Of men could claire the cred
Exchange.

INQUIRY ORDERED OF
COTTON PRICE FIXING

A special from Washington to the
Commercial Appeal under date Of
September %, says:
At a late hour tonight a resolu-
ton was adopted to appoint a COM
mittee to consist Of 10 members Of
the cotton states advisory and mar
keting board and five members from
the committee on agriculture of the
Senate and House, respectively, to
confer with the committee of seven
appointed by the president to inyes-
tigate the cotton situation, with a
view to recommending basic price.
The same resolution conveyed pro-
test against priee-fixing.
Gov. Manning, Of South Carolina,
said in a speech that after talk
this afternoon with President Wilson
he felt sure that if the president did
fix basic price for cotton he would
make the price fair and equitable
and with due regard for the cost of
production. Gov. Manning also said
that, in his opinion, the price Of cot
ton would be fixed and there was no
cause for excitement.
First steps looking to fixing Of
price for standard grades of raw cot
ton were taken today by the govern
ment in the naming of two commit
tees, one to investigate the entire
cotton situation and the other to
control during the period of this
inquiry the distribution of cotton by
purchasing all of the staple needed
by the United States and the allies
at prices to be approved by the
president.
Last Tuesday representatives in
Congress from cotton growing states,
headed by Senator Smith, of South
Carolina, protested to the president
against the fixing Of any price for
cotton. This action came after the
president had explained the purpose
for which the two cotton committees
would be appointed. The purpose of
the committee of inquiry. the presi-
dent said, would be to broaden the
of distribution so that use
could be made Of the great stock Of
low grades Of cotton which now prac
tically are unmarketable, elimination
of boarding and speculation and appor-
tioning Of foreign orders. He added
that it might be a part of this COM
duty to recommend basic
prices on cotton.
