FOR THE DEFENCELESS.

With that splendid spirit that has animated
Pensacola so many times during the past few
years, the drive for the Womans Home is going
forward, backed by number of the business
men of Pensacola, who under the leadership of
Miss B. A Murphy, campaign manager, CIV
ing their time and effort towards it's success.
Pensacola has charity which deserves
greater encouragement more devoted service
than does the Woman's Home. 1t is not that
we wish to do less for the various war activities
which in need of our service and money,
there is no need that we should do that. For
there is plenty for both in this land of plenty.
But if there is need for our service to our
service to our fighting men, there is need too
for service to those feeble ones who cannot fight
their own battles.
For we must remember that those for which
we plead cannot fight for themselves. The man
at the 'front.' has his fighting chance. But these
women are entirely defenceless. Time has robbed
them of their weapons and they dependent
upon the bounty of others for their daily bread.
1t is pitiful thing, at most, to be the ward of
charity.
Miss Murphy and her~tommittee who are
working for the success of the drive cannot see
everyone Will you not respond to their appeal
without solicitation? All checks should be
made payable to the Woman's Home, or to Miss
B. A. Murphy, who is manager of the campaign.

KEEP MACHINERY GOING.

More and more, as the program pro-
crosses, is the Government depending upon wo-
men to perform the tremendously increased vol
llme of work in the civil branches. The force
of civilian employees in Washington, d. c., in
creased from 10000 to approximately 10000
during the first year of our participation in the
war. Of this increase of 10000 more than
c5, 900 are women. Women make up the in
crease in Government offices and establishments
outside of Washington in less proportion, for
the reason that the greatest expansion in the
field has been in the large manufacturing plants
of the War and Navy Departments, where thou
sands of mechanics and laborers are employed
in shipbuilding and in manufacturing ordnance
and other war material. Women are not avail
able for employment in trades position to any
great extent, but their services being util-
lied in every way that is practicable.
The United States Civil Service Commission
is calling for women for Government work of
not less than so different Kinds. The list in
cludes stenographers, typsts, bookkeepers, other
clerks of more of classifcations which
require training in special or technical line,
statisticians, operators of various kinds of calcu
lating, addressing, and duplicating machines;
proof readers, law clerks, welfare executive
secretaries, craftsmen of dozen kinds, tele-
graph and telephone operators, trained nurses
chemists, physicists library assistants, inspec-
tors of undergarments, finger print cassifers,
and many others.
The Commission urges women to offer their
services to the Government at this time of great
need. AS men are called to the colors women
must take their places and keep the machinery
behind the armed forces moving at the maximum
of efficiency.

COAL WEEK.

To help with the coal problem of the country
is one of the highest and most patriotic duties
of the day. Less coal will be mined during the
year than will be needed to meet all the war
time demands. The railroads, and the factories
manufacturing war necessities, must be supplied
in full and regularly All other consumers will
of necessity, go little short.
The price has been settled. The zones from
which consumers will derive their supply have
been arranged and not likely to be altered
or changed. Every coal dealer and consumer
knows now from which field his coal supply will
come.
Both anthracite and bituminous coal are easier
to deliver now than in the wintertime.
Get the load off your mind and into the cellar
The first week of June has been set apart by
the United States Fuel Administration as coal
week. Help the Government in its war work by
ordering your winter supply of coal before coal
week closes.

TEACHERS PROTEST.

Teachers in Washington, D. e. have entered
protest against the proposed minimum salary
of $3.50, instead of the $1,000 requested.
In an open letter the Teachers Club, repre-
senting every grade and every department of
public school work in tn District of Columbia
says:
"It seems incredible that our National Gov
eminent should be paying salaries ranging from
ST. 900 up to young, inexperienced workers, ap-
pointed direct from the high school, or even the
eighth grade, and deny like minimum to its
other employees who have not only spent years
in preparation for their work, but who have also
years of loyal intelligent service to their credit.
If it be argued that the former class of en-
ployee is doing emergency work, we answer
that teachers are engaged in war work of far
greater and more far-reaching value
