"The problems with which
state and national legislatures
will have to deal in the next few
years will be tremendously deli
cate and tremendously impor-
tant. Action taken upon them
will directly and vitally affect
every mans home, every mans
business, every mans property,
every mans rights and liberties,
every mans whole life. @
Never since the primary sys-
tenn was adopted was there a
time when it was nearly so es-
sential that good citizens should
attend the primary as now.
Make it your especial business
to help in the nomination Of
candidates to represent you at
Lincoln and Washington who
are honest, competent, safe and
reliable.
In important posts at this
time there should be placed the
men of the best experience, the
ripest and soundest judgment,
the cleanest character, that you
can find. You want men of
weight and standing; successful
men, who have proved their
competency"

RED CROSS NOTES

The following letter was recently re-
celved from the director in charge of
the Madison chapter:
Having received several letters from various
branches asking if knitted garments for tho
men leaving home could be provided by the
Red Cross, as they knew that some of tho
branches were now doing it, it is with regret
that we feel it necessary to again reiterate the
ruling Of both National Organization and Gem
tral Division of the American Red Cross that
no chapter, branch or auxiliary has permission
to give to individuals any knitted articles made
from Red Cross yarn. purchased with Red
Cross money.
eff any branches are refusing to obey this
order Of the National organization and tho
name is brought to the attention Of this chap
ter, we will at once report it to the Central Di-
vision. The bulletins sent to every branch
each week have been very explicit in explain
ing this order and the reasons for it, and it is
distinctly a branch of discipline, which we
shall do our best to overcome. Please cooper
ate with the chapter in this particular, as we
are assured of your loyalty, and know we have
your good wishes"
The above letter explains itself 1t is
with much regret that we feel our
selves compelled to follow these direc
tions, but the Red Cross is under mill
tary discipline and must obey There
fore we cease outfitting our boys. The
outfits will be furnished by the National
Red Cross to whom all our goods are
sent, who have depots at every camp,
where the wants of the boys are sup
piled. If at any time anybody does
not receive an outfit, he must notify
his home chapter, from which notice
will be sent to Madison and the Madi~
son chapter will see that he is properly
outftted.

Any boy or girl who will take the pa
triotic pledge and promise to earn all
money turned in is eligible. Special
stress, however, is laid upon the boys
and girls of fourteen to eighteen. This
is because of the child labor laws. If a
regular Job is even only temporarily
taken for patriotic reasons, the child la
Dor laws will be rigidly obeyed. Yet
there are many ways that a boy or girl
can earn money besides regular en-
ployment, and the committee has is

"Ways to Earn and Give" This will
be sent to any boy or girl member upon
application. Later prizes may be Of
fered for original ways by which Vic

pies chorus, which was composed Of men
and women Of all classes, and grew until
it numbered between five and six thou
sand. When the European war broke
out he came to America filled with the
ambition to establish peoples choruses
throughout the country, patterned after
the one he had left in Athens.
Mr.. Camilieri believes implicitly in
the power and the uplifting influence of
community singing for the working peo-
pie, and the results Of his work thus far
prove that he is a practical idealist.
His first opportunity in America came
through the Y. w. C. A., for whom he
trained chorus Of female voices. Later
the Y. NJ. G. A. called upon him to train
a chorus of their members, and he finally
brought the two units together, forming

A Singing Epidemic
Makes for Health and Courage

There is scarcely minute Of the day
that pne does not hear the strains Of
some wartime melody. The woman who
scrubs the floor keeps time with her
brush to the strains Of "Keep the Home
Fires Burning; the shop girl, as she
sorts her stock, huns LA Marseilaise";
even grandmother, industriously knitting
on socks for Robert in France. clicks her
needles to the rhythm of "The Battle
Hymn of the Republic"
Young and old, it is the same story. I
heard the little kiddies in one Of the city
hospitals the other day, some of whom
hadn't the strength to raise their heads
from the pillow, singing II Hate to Get
Up in the Morning." and the nurses tell
me that in the military hospitals whole
wards of wounded men will burst spon-
taneously into song
We are all familiar with the part the
war songs play in the life of the men
overseas. The officers of the President
Lincoln and the Tuscania have told me
how the boys sang as they sprang into
the sea; how those who survived were
still singing when they were pulled into
the hfeboats. We know that our solusls
on the Western front sing as they go
over the top, and those who remain to

all modesty), is in the lead, with its own
great Peoples Liberty Chorus, which
during the recent loan campaign has
been singing at the Liberty Altar in Mad
ison Square.
1t is worth going very long way to
hear that great choir of men and women
sing "Keep on Hopin'" and "For Your
Boy and Nine" but the most amazing
feat to me was the manner in which
that chorus of practically unframed
voices took the musical hurdles Of "The
Star-Spangled Banner" We have all
been brought up with the idea that this
is the most difficult of all the national
airs because of it's wide range, and so
it has become q sort of bugbear to us.
We cantcr along quite merrily for the
first few lines, but when it comes to "the
rockets red glare" we shy and cough and
hesitate, and finally drop out Of the race
altogether, with the result that the "red
glare" grows DINNER and DINNER until
the stick falls to the ground in dead
silence.
1t is not like this when the Peoples
