SETTLEMENT PROVIDES FOR FAMILIES OF
 SOLDIERS

An average of $1OO month has been turned over to the Red Cross by the Brownson Settlement Association, of Los Angeles, Cal, This is Catholic organization interested in all phases of war work. The Rev. John c. Smyth of the National Catholic War Council reports:
 Work has been progressing among the families of men serving with the colors whose parents are of foreign birth," said Father 5myth. "Ameri. ca's ideals of democracy and liberty under the law of justice have have been explained to these people, also the selective-draft law, the question naire, and the aims of the United States in entering the war. Much has been done to accomplish a national unity and to protect the loyalty of these foreign-born people against propaganda. Illustrated lectures have bzeen undertaken to aid the Govern ment by their effect upon Mexican al. iens in fostering loyalty to our coun- try These aims indicate the ideals of the United States in the war.
 Instruction has been given in home garden work. Assistance has been rendered in house-to-house visits for food conservation and sales of thrift stamps, war-savings stamps, and Liber- ty bonds"

FIND OUT YOUR OWN
 RESPONSIBILITY

InSSo are no OdyS TOT IWaQOung tongues of twaddling thumbs We are at war in earnest, witness lengthen. ing casualty lists. From now on, ev.
 cry one of us must be prepared to
 bear greater responsibilities than ever
 before.
 It is impossible to conduct our lives as We did previous to the war We
 must overhaul our whole system of living and preface everything we dc
 with the question: "Is this helping to
 win the war;"
 Not until we have the firm knowl. edge that everything, not alone in our
 business affairs, but also in the home
 is helping not hindering our victory can we hope to crush Germany, which for years has governed both the pub lie and private lives of her people with day being strong enough to put every nation under foot that could dispute her supremacy.
 Let the woman who hesitates to put her cooking on wheatless basis, re. member that it is her duty to go with out any wheat from now until the next harvest.
 But" some housewife may say, "the officials ration of wheat is a pound and half per person per week. Why should l go without wheat when this ration is allowed by the Food Admin istratfon?"
 This is legitimate question. but one easily answered. After a careful sur. vey of the nations wheat supply the Food Administration has estimated that we can meet the tremendous de. mands made on GUS if everyone in the country cuts his wheat ration to a pound and half per week.
 But there will be some who can not possibly do. this, much as they would like to do it. These people are the ones who keep the wheels of the ma. tions industry moving. Many of these are working extra hours to keep the nation apace of the enormously increasing demands of war. They have little time to cook at home and must therefore buy most of their food large part of which is bread
 To be sure, they will buy only Vic tory Bread, but this at best must con-

PEST, INDEED, WHY

Savings Stamp Crouch Gets Rise
 From Minute Woman
By Zilfa Phillips

! By Zilfa Phillips
 Well, here's pretty howdo-you-do! Called pest, indeed" A plump lit tie woman in a crisp white dress standing before big poster on which was emblazoned in flaming letters War Savings Stamps" looked out with round indignant eyes at the pas sing world as represented by Eleventh street and Broadway with amazement and indignation.
 "He called me a pest-think of it, a The government has asked us to dc this; don't like stopping strange men and asking them to do their duty, and my husband doesn't like to have me either; but I'm minute woman, so do it anyway"
 Never mind," comforted her com panion, willowy girl with blue sweater that just matched the blue of her eyes. "Men'll march out and give their lives when they won't give dollar Mr Burnett told us not tc feel apologetic for asking them to dc their duty. Anyway, it takes all kinds of people to make world" Just then a hulking young male who to all intents and purposes should have been wearing the khaki strolled leis l urely by.
 l Will you pledge for the war savings stamps?" sweetly asked the girl with the blue eyes, laying gentle detainine hand on his arm as he attempted to pass.
 l He turned roughly toward her. 1 You women are nuisance. A man can't walk down the street in peace. No won't pledge" He shook off the detaining hand ] But a soldier who stood by suddenly confronted him.
 i Hold on," he snapped, and there was menacing glint in his eye Aren't you a patriot? Oh, you are hey? We'll, you better sign the ladys card then. Signed one, you say? All right, sign another then. Just for good measure you know"
 Needless to say, he signed. l And so one sees that it is not alto +gether a bed of roses-this patriotic work that Tacoma women with deal of self-sacrifice are doing as they stand, day after day on the street corn CTS beseiging the passing crowds to pledge their savings to their country
 The very idea" spluttered the plump little woman in the crisp white dress. Takes a pretty big alarm clock to wake some people up to their patriotic duty.

ALLEN TO COME?
Republicans Want Him for Big

He's Needed To Help in Hot
Congressional Fights.
BY A. L. SHULTZ.

Henry J.. Allen. of wichita, is the
pinch hitter who is expected to save
the game for the Republicans in at
least a half dozen congressional dis
tricts.- An emergency call has been

There is now every indication that the
states premier platform artist will
come home to a spectacular campaign:

finish of the battle.
If Allen can be brought home by

All the psychology Of politics is
seemingly behind Aliens home com

overlook any of the stage effects
which will add awe and effect to his
entrance in the campaign. The mere
fact that Allen may come home as the
Republican nominee for governor
doesn't mean so much. 1t is the fact
that for six months preceding the
statewide primaries, he was in
France, did not write a political letter
or ask man to vote for him. Kansas
expression of emotional sentiment was
never more in evidence than when
practically every county in the state
