I WONDER as look out over the broad
expanse of Colonial buildings and the
trees of Independence Hall and Square just
how the women of those days 142 years ago
felt the day before the Declaration of In
dependence. Just what II must have meant
to them, when that glorious bell rang out
the strokes which proclaimed to the world
that the Colonies had declared inde-
pendence. I think their spirit was back of
1t all, just as their spirit is back of the
boys of today, who 142 years later are
fighting side by side with their allies to
help make that freedom which our fore
fathers won for us those many years ago
possible thing for other lands and other
people. Those were primitive days com.
pared with these, and warfare then waged
was warfare with some degree of deeency.
There were no Huns to contend with. If
our soldiers were taken prisoners they
diers crucified with bayonets on barn doors.
Neither We're our prisoners treated but
men.
Is II any wonder we lovers of freedom are
safe place to live in and to be free in,
when we see the horrors of miltarism?
All honor and praise to the flag OF this
great nation whose birthday we celebrate
and seas in Freedoms name.

ANOTHER little man has made his
"A appearance on the Main Line. Small
Francis Forbes, born on Saturday. His
father, Major William lnnes Forbes, was
home on furloush at the time and was able
to welcome this second small son. He was
obliged to go back to Fort Sam Houston
Texas on Monday, but in the fall Mrs
Forbes and her two little boys will go
down there TO live in the house which
Major Forbes has.
Last spring they moved into the house
where the Oglesby Pauls lived formerly.
Mrs Paul, you know, has gone back to
Boston to live since Oglesby died, and the
Forbes took the house this spring. Mrs.
Forbes was Daisy Coke Wright you know,
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs William Town
send Wright and a sister of Ensign Billie
Wright, who married Eleanor Carpenter.
noNT the most unexpected things hap

ask you, could two families who live on a
much-traveled road in one of our nearby
suburbs know that at about l o'clock on
Sunday afternoon group of army trucks
would stop in front of their respective
houses? 1t was some surprise to them
when they saw what was lined up before
their very doors, so to speak, and naturally
they hurried out to see the excitement.
Said excitement was. of course, the
group of soldiers who manned the trucks
and who We're now gathered together on
the pavement. When they found that the
boys were resting for short while the
first family invited them up on their wide
veranda. And then it was gleefully dis
overed that Family l and Family were
both having ice cream that day for dinner
and wasn't it lucky they hadn't eaten it
yet, for the boys would just love it.

am sure that Mrs DreXel will receive
expressions of sympathy on all sides from
those who know of her bereavement, for
there are few women held in higher re-
spect than the three Biddle mems beloved
"Aunt Mary" AS for the Canteen work
she has inaugurated and kept up through
out the city, too much cannot be said of it.
And yet it Is one of those things of which
very little may be said. for canteen workers
must know of the movement of troop
trains and for obvious reasons such move
ments may not be made public: And so
Mrs. DreXei and the thousands of women
throughout the city who work night and
day to feed the men who pass through here
have little to say OF their work and very
little is said about it. But they are on the
job at any moment, and they are working
magnificently and certainly it cannot be
for the name, since it cannot be known.
1t seems to me that there is real giving Of
self, when it is done as quietly as this is
and with the splendid discipline which am
told is always maintained.

The effect Of an abundance of food
on the breeding of rodents should be
kept in mind. Well-fed rats mature
quickly, breed often, and have large
filters. Poorly fed rats, on the CON
trary, reproduce less frequently and
have smaller filters. In addition,
scarcity of food makes measures for
destroying the animals far more efrec-
tive.
Merchandise In Stores.-In all parts
Of the country there is a serious eco
nomic drain in the destruction by rats
and mice of merchandise held for sale
by dealers. Not only foodstuffs and
forage, but textiles, clothing, and
leather goods are often ruined. This
loss is due mainly to the faulty build
ings in which the stores are kept.
Often it would be u measure Of econ
omy to tear down the old structures
and replace them by new ones. How
ever, even the old buildings may often
be repaired so as to make them prac-
tically %rat-prOOf and fOodstuffs, as
-four, seeds, and meats, may always
be protected in wire cages Mt slight
expense. The public should be pro-
tected from insanitary stores by a
system of rigid inspection.
Household Supplles.-Similar care
should be exercised in the home to
protect household supplies from mice
and rats. Little progress In Kidding
the premises Of these animals can be
made so long as they have access to
supplies of food. Cellars, kitchens,
and pantrles often furnish subsistence
not only to rats that inhabit the
