will women cease to have opportunity for efficient. practical effort. Not un-
 til then will women cease to have a share of public responsibility.
 There never was a period in the worlds history when womens work counted for so much. when is was so much needed. What the world wants of women today is the utmost devel. ,oment of the positive feminine moral fierce Tn her spirit and her life. Sym pathy in woman comes nearest to the heart of Christ. Sympathy for the erring, tho sick and suffering; that is one power which women need to con- tribute to society. How little we think of the wounded souls near us ready to drop the burden of life because of the dreary lack of a friendly world, we are not conscious of the bereaved heart within our own radius perhaps dumb with despair. We do not realize that eager hearts are waiting silently for some message of love and comfort. 30 we are careless blind and cynical and thus neglect our opportunities to be messengers of God.
 It is true that women should be al- lowed to develop her gifts, but she should administer them for the bene- fit Of others. The woman who keeps
 her good manners, her politeness. her courtesy for so-called socitey. or for
 her own home even. is not doing her |duty as a Christian or a refined woman.

 The war.savings plan provided for in the lnst bond act, of September 24, 1917. has been formulated and an- nounced by the Treasury Department and goes into operation on Monday. December 3.
 The plan puts it easily in reach of every American citizen to save money and at the same time aid the Gov ernment by supplying 1t with the sin. ewa of war.
 Stamps, which are the governments certificate of indebtedness are to be sold in two denominations--thri stamps, which cost 25 cents each. and war-saving stamps. which cost from $4.12 to $..23 each, according to the month in which they are purchased.
 With the first thrift stamp the purchaser is given Q thrift card with spaces for 1e stamps. When 16 thrift stamps have been purchased and af- fixed the thrift card can be exchanged for war-saving stamp ny paying the difference between the $4 the thrift

 The thrift stamps do not bear Inter est, but the war savings, stamps bear 1 per cent, compounded quarterly. The certificates wilt be dated January 2 1918, and mature January l, 1923.
 Under the plan an amount as small as 25 cents can be invested in a gov ernment security, and as soon as $i has thus been invested an interest-bear- ing certificate of the United States Government can be secured.
 The stamps and certificates can be obtained from postofiices. banks. or trust companies, at most railroad sta tions, stores. factories, and many other public places.

:, whose very presence is uplifting, might all be so if we would set our l selves steadily and calmly to work to selves to a mental plane where out side worries and furries and tempcrs could not reach us. It would be q work of time perhaps, but 1t would pay. And having arrived at that condition we should help others just as naturally as the sun sheds It's life. giving beams on the dependent earth.
 Let us learn the highest secret of life, sef-giving, not for what 1t would
 bring us in peace or honor or happi- nes, but because we realize how much the world needs disinterested help and how much more we need 10 give 1t. If you would have all the world love you, you must first love all the world. We should be glad Of life because 1t gives us chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the skies: to be satisfied with our possessions but not contented with ourselves until we have made the best of them: to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be gov erned by our admirations rather than by our disgusts. To covet nothing that is our neighbors except her kind ness of heart and gentleness of manner. To think seldom of our enemies, often of our friends. and always of God.

 There are two ways of walking thru the world. ploddIns dejectedly along w..h our eyes on the muddy coad, seeing only the obstacles in our way and feeling only the burdens on our backs. or holding our heads high, ,see- ing the broad sky above. smelling the scent of the flowers, tasting the de- lights of living and feeling the love of God. Which shall we choose?
 Today American womanhood stands on @ high plateau with eager faces turned hopefully to the future. We look forward confidenta,ly and with surety of success because everything has been made easy for us. Are we ciently the duty and responsibility de- volv1ny upon us in regard to the bet. torment of home and humanity? The duties of women are many, for not until the mother care has reached out into all departments of municipal life. and the incentive to good has become as powerful as the incentive to evil, not until the beautiful and the true are clothed in form as attractive as the vile and the false, not until noble ness and purity of character are re- quisites demanded of those who fill high public positions-not until then

Fourteen hundred acres of land
adjacent to the site of the big
powder-packing plant at Fort Lee

Richmond men, on which they will

with three weeks remaining before
election day, activity along the line
among politicians and reformers is
negligible SO far as the general public
Is aware.
Meetings have been held by the
Civic association and friends of the
opponents of any charter changes at
this time have also held little neigh
borhood meetings, But the general
public has not vet been taken into the
confidence of either side to any con-
tention that may he made on August
9Th
There have been no public demon
STATIONS or mass meetings. The aver
age voter does not know that there
Is to be an election, and those who
do know that much are in the dark
as to the purport of the election.
The average voter Is not certain In
his own mind whether the election Is
for the benefit of the outs as against
the ms. or whether the proposed char
ter changes are for tire interests of
the city or for some Interested indi-
viduals
AS all qualified citizens, regardless
of political inclination may vote at the
election on August 9Th, which Is spe-
cial general election, the result Will
prove hard to forecase.
