Man Power.

We read much Of man power these
days; human power is better term,
because it emphasizes the fact that
the wamen and children also consti-
tute a great factor in this war. In
the final victory every man, woman,
and child in America can and should
have part.
In comparing the man power OF
Germany with that of the United
States 1t must be borne in mind that
a much larger proportion OF the
manual labor of the man power OF
the Nation is performed, is exerted
by the German women than by the
women of America. II is said that
in peace times the women constitu-
ted AZ per cent of the agricultural
and industrial labor of Germany.
They work in the fields, in the fac
tories, in the mines, at the very
hardest and most laborious tasks,
doing the work only done by men in
this country. With a great proper
ton of the German men in the army,
it is not improbable that women now
constitute by far the larger half OF
German manual labor.
The women of the United States
are nobly, unselfishly, manfully, one
may say, bearing their share OF the
burdens of war. By the grace OF
God and the power and courage OF
America the fate of the German
women is not and will never be
theirs. But it will be with their as
sistance and cooperation and their
full assumption of the burdens and
duties of the day that the United
States is to exert its full power IN
Kidding the world of that intolerable
German kultur which makes brute
soldiers of the men and slaves OF the
women.

New Game Law.

The Conservation commission
wishes to call special attention to
the passage of the Statewide Resi-
dent Hunting License Law.
This legislation is probably the
most important game legislation
which has been placed on the statute
books of Maryland in many years.
Up to the present time. Mar.tland
has had only one maid officer in the
employ of the State to enforce its
Game and Fish Laws over a terri
tory of twelve thousand square
miles. Under the new law there
will be money raised from the hunt
ing licenses not only to employ a
large number of able deputy game
wardens througout the State, but
there will also be money for the
proper publication of the laws and
the education of the people to the
necessity of bird protection, and
there will also be money to be used
for propagation.
The State. of Maryland has never
spent one cent for game propaga-
ton; number of the counties,
under the local laws, have done so
ON small scale. At the present
time it is practically impossible to
obtain game by purchase from other
States. The day will soon be here
when it will be absolutely impossible
to obtain same. The present Bob
White or quail which are being re-
ceived from Mexico by way of Texas
and New Mexico are inferior to our
native birds and do not thrive so
we'll 1t is therefore only short
time before this State will be COM
PEELED to raise all game for restock-
ing.
You are therefore urged to see
that all hunters take out hunting
license under the new law, and as
sist our wardens in every way pos
sible in discovering the violators.
In this way only can the money bt
raised to carry on this work. The
amount to be received from this Ii
cense is uncertain, as we only have
the experience of other States TO &
by. We also at this time have a
unusual condition, due to the war
a very large number of men from
the State Of Maryland have gone in
to the service, and we believe man!
of these young men are active sports
men. This will deduct a consider
able amount Of money from the
total which would ordinarily have
cen received from hunting licenses,
The Conservation Commission,
therefore, believed it wise for the
present at least to appoint only eight
salaried district deputy wardens,
with three counties to district.
We realize that this number viii
hardly be sufficient, but until we
know the amount of money which
will be contributed to game through
this license provision, we feel that it
is all that should be appointed at
this time. Later as the money
comes in and the Conservation Com
mission sees its way to increase this
force, it is their desire to have a
paid deputy in each county.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE LOVELY GIRL

BY MILDRED WHITE.

Billy saw the Lovely Girl when he
was escorting his visiting cousins
through the art gallery; she was evil
IDENTIFY student, and glanced up from
her copy of great painting at the
group which paused beside it. Then,
as she bent again to her work, she
looked back once more as though
drawn by some compelling force,
straight into Billy's eyes. Swift as
the glance had been, it awakened in
that young mans honest heart some
heretofore undisturbed emotion.
Lovely girl, that" his old uncle had
remarked, so Billy knew that his own
was not prejudiced opinion. He in
tended going directly to the office up
on the following morning, instead his
footsteps Jagged before the art gallery,
and again he passed within.
The Lovely Girl was before her
easel, ambition also was one of her
virtues. Outwardly calm, but with a
pounding heart, Billy drew near the
painting which was her subject, and
was lost apparently in admiration.
Up the marble steps of the building
dashed second student, man. Billy
recognized the fellow. Brothers went
there to copy also, he remembered
now, having listened absently to Broth
erS' enthusiastic account of his own
progress in art. But this morning, in
spiration came to Billy, and he has
tened after his almoSt-forgotten friend.
There were hours when his time was
practically his own, affairs proceeded
at the office without his constant SUI
pervision. Why not impersonate for
awhile one of that class TO which his
friend Brothers belonged. 1t would be
simple matter to locate an easel near
that same great painting, license in the
! way of communication might be given
a fellow by the Lovely Girl, with both
striving to accomplish the same pur-
pose.
! A discussion of "sky lines" might be
allowable. Billy didn't know much
about sky lines" but Brothers could
| give him the cue. He surprised that
young man by hearty clap on the
| shoulder.
"Hello, Bill" greeted the other
breathlessly.
Billy came abruptly to the point

row all your tools for few days, to
make stand before that Rembrandt

reason"

Brothers blinked. "Can't have my
TOOLS" he replied, ''going to use 'em.
But | guess we can fix you up"
Billy's morning hours seemed to be
passed more in study than achieve
ment. Painstakingly he mixed colors
according to Brothers direction, re-
garding the girl from the corners of
his eyes. Then quite boldly he moved
over and stood before her copy.
Pardon me-" began Billy, "our mu-
tual subject is so great that I would
like to see how you handle it."
For brief moment the girl hesitat-
ed, then as with one desire to help, she
pointed out effects in light and color
Billy, though gravely attentive, was
learning more about the color of very
blue eyes, and the altogether satisfy
ing light OLA smile.
"Thank you" he answered, and re-
turned to further concentration.
The longed-for, however, had been
accomplished, the barrier of silence
broken. The Lovely Girl called to him
occasionally some word of advice.
"Just start any place." she urged.
Billy examined Brothers paintbrush
ruefully as he packed it away. Elo-
quently his eyes sought the girls. at

Billy gasped, then stood blankly star

down the stairs.
Married! He had never once
thought of that possibility. He re-
turned Brothers loaned tools next
Gay. and went no more to the gallery.
1t was strange, he ruminated
gloomily going on his way, that the
thing should have hit so hard. Just
few hours spent at girls side and
the world had changed for him. He
wondered what sort of fellow that
lucky husband was, and at this point
in his meditation Brothers called to
him.

The American Red Cross is the

their labor for the relief and comfort
OF the men i'll service. To the millions
OF women whose hearts and heads
are consecrated to the service; to the
millions of the men, rich and poor

and comfort contributed by them

the men in service is essential. The
Commander in Chief desires to ex-

"They are the best aggregation of

ever had the pleasure of listening to,"
said s. E. Notson in speaking of the
Alpine Yodlers who are coming to. the
high. school auditorium Wednesday,
January 20.
Mr.. Notson has had the pleasure of

present at the first two numbers of

the line of entertainment which this
bureau is furnishing.
The mountain people of Switzer-
land are distinctively musical. They
just bubble over with song and seem
by nature adapted to easily change
the ordinary voice to the falsetto.
This is called Yodeling and is an art,
which most people have discovered, If
they have ever attempted it. The AL.
pine Yodlers are natives of Switzer-
land and by right of birth have ac-
quired this wonderful art, which only
the people Of Switzerland seem able
to master in the perfect degree.
