Hoping you will answer. 1 remain,
"P. L.
What a plucky little girl! Only
fifteen, and yet with a native energy
and ambition which refuses to be
smothered by opposition or eclipsed
by bodily fatigue.
She works long hours in the fac
tory by day. She must naturally be
tired when evening comes, and yet
in response to the something in her
that demands a freer scope for her
powers and wider opportunity she
spends her leisure time-the time
that others are giving TO recreation
and amusement-in study.
To her I would say: My dear, the
secret of all success is to know what
you want and then so after it. Any
she wishes TO become and takes her
self in hand at fifteen can accom-
plish almost anything she desires.
Your parents are under a misap-
prehension. From what you say
gather that they object to your eX-
changing fourteen dollars a week
for nine or ten. But for a girl Of
your energy and initiative ten would
be a very temporary remuneration.
You could very soon command much
more than that.
1t is a crime for a girl of your
inclinations and ambitions not TO
improve yourself in every way you
can. This is a world of opportuni-
ties. but to grasp these opportunities
you've got TO possess certain quail
ties, and the first of these is an un-
tagging ambition, the second the
ability to keep ones eyes fixed upon
the goal rather than upon the way
which leads to it, and the others
are patience and perseverance and
the undefeated spirit.
You are a very splendid type OF
spendthrift. with your pathetic lit
tie waste of six cents worth of ice
cream and your ten cents extra a
day. and your prodigal but uncount-
ed expenditure of force and energy.
The world needs women of the
sort that you are going to be, trained
and disciplined, capable OF taking
your part in the responsibilities and
duties of the future There will be
larger demands on women than were
ever made before in the worlds his
tory. and those who are competent
and highly trained will see wider.
ever wider horizons opening before
their eyes.
To them will come greater oppor-
tunities than are even dreamed OF
at present
We are seeing right now the pass
| ing of the idle, trivial girls and
women. Il is they who are to be
pitied, not girls like you who are
working to make yourselves inteln-
gent, useful citizens of real service
TO your country. It is your kind
who raise the whole standard OF
woman and womans work. and !
salute YOU very reverently and bid
you Godspeed.

BOOZE AND THE WAR
the Editor of the Telegraph:

, We EdfoT or Ihc eIcGFdfh:
There is much to commend in
your stand on the booze question and
for wartime prohibition. 1t is good
to let your readers know just where
the responsibility rests for the waste

labor and transportation. If the
kaiser had the power, would he not
uphold the brewing industry of the
United States as our President has
done? If ii were true that wartime
prohibition would decrease efficiency
in shipbuilding. then why apply it to
our soldiers and sailors? If it were
true that stoppage of the breweries
would put the country on a whisky
basis, then why not stop the sale of
whisky? Why was not the brewing
of beer stopped at the same time
that the distillation of whisky was

cent by some. But it is on beer that
the young man begins. If any old
drunkard began on anything than
beer. he is the exception. l know
what l am writing about and un-
doubtly know by hard experience
more about all kinds of booze drink
ing than the food administration.
Why do the liquor dealers gloat
over the fact that Mr.. Wilson and
MIR. Hoover have failed to put the
ban on beer? The leading editorials
of a June number of the National
