Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-built houses. must have tradition behind them, writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like native trees that grow so we'll no' where else. The little writers-~hacks. who sentimentalize to the latest order, and display their plot novelties Ike bargains on an advertising page-are inst as traditional The only differ ence is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life. Middle-sized authors-the very good and the prob- ably enduring--are successful largely because they have gripped tradition and followed it through to contem' porary life. That is what Thackeray did in "Van!ty Fair" Howells In "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton ill "The House of Mirth." But back.touature books-both sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-kogs and
 turtles that call themselves nature books-are the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures of the

PINE BLUFF LAD GOES
 UP FROM ARMY RANKS

Roy w. Gould, who attended the third officers training camp and pass ed his examination at the top of the class, at Camp Pike, Arkansas, IS spending fifteen-day furlough with his parents, Judge and Mrs. James Giuld.
 Roy volunteered when war was de- clared on Germany by the Unlteu States, and entered the first oftl- cers' training camp. Because of a weak foot, he was honorably dis charged. Instead of offering this dis charge in support of claim for eX- emption from service Roy who was in the first draft eagerly entered the infantry, and soon was made ser eeant. He was one of four men recommended by his company com mander for hte third training camp | and his friends here are gratifiec 1 that their confidence that he "Woulf make good" has so soon been vindl cated. :,

ments. These are: Art, Civics, CIVIL Service, Reform, Conservation, Edu- cation, Home Economies, Industrial and Social Conditions Legislation, Literature and Library Extension, Music and Public Health.
 The coming of the war to the Unit ed States made no change in the char acter of these eleven departments of work, but in every one the range and scope have been broadened, the pur- pose intensified All are imbued with the one end. namely, the winning of the war 'Our object" said Mrs. Cowles in d recent conversation, 'is, first and foremost, to be of utmost service in time of need; second, and quite as important to keep alive in every community the sense of law and order, the security of the personal clements that must rebuild society when the tumult of war is past.
 "The record of war service present ed at the different state federation meetings throughout the country 1: great in volume and comprehensive 1T extent" said Mrs. Cowles. Ut mus

 '"There are hundreds Of club women throughout the country weaving the dress which was presented at the Bl- ennial in New I ork,' said Mrs. CowleS. "This dress evidenced the expression of artistic principles in common sense gown" Among the arguments which will be put forth in the present biennial is that which declares that standardiza ton of styles would affect not only an artistic improvement in Women's dress and a vast national economy for consumers but would gradually turn non-essentlal labor to essential uses, conserve material ana whether in war or peace would chm mate from the garment industry many distressing clements such as lack of continuity of employment and busi- ness hazards in style.

Co0pcration or 5000 Clubs In The
 Red Cross And Liberty i0an

The General Federation as whole has raised very large amounts of money for various war purposes. Practically every one of the 9,pee clubs in the Federation have cooper rated Loyalty with tle Red CroS" in its wonderful mission of mercy. and the same may be s;id in connection with the Liberty Loan, patriotic odu- cation and home and foreign rcllef work.
 The Home Economies department of the General Federation has lined up closely with the Department Of Agrl- culture in it's food production and con scrvation program. covering the sup feet in more than one of its depart mcnts. To quote Mrs. CoWlcS: our food conservation program necessarily embraces the problem of food produc- tion not alone that of conservation hv proper handling and elimination of waste, but it's transportation, dlstrlno- tion. sale and use. Food production, as we cover it in OUT department, IS not merely a narrow agricultural ques- tion but goes on tc matters relating to soil, water supply, preservation of forests. irrigation and of drainage.
 "Its transportation carries us into the realm of road making, not only the main highways Of the country but the by-ways in every little community as we'll" said Mrs. Cowles. Reach
 ing the point of distribution. 1t be l comes q civic concern and here legis lation enters, because there is neet of guarding against new legisla ton that may be introduced whicf seeks to control prices and to increase profits at the expense of the consum CT. Thus do the various department! of our work cooperate with ever, | great movement of today"
 Club Chairman In Every Camp
 The Public Health Department o the General Federation has placed ; chairman in every camp and canton ment throughout the country to co operate with the authorities in thei lines of endeavor, and the departmen of Education is actively functioning il not only carrying on it's work alon normal routes. but in performing in tensive constructive work along voca tional and Americanization lines.

is an example of what is being done in connection with camp work. Wash- ington club women are working VIZ orously in every city and town adja- cent to mobilization comps, coopeTat- ing closely with the National Commit tee on Training Camp Activities m l,cening the towns clean and moral, looking after the environm ents or camps as their conditions relate to both the boys and girls of the com. muuitics.
 The Minnesota Federation takes the lighter view of soldier life, and at recent Federation meeting 1t urged the clubs of the State to supply mandol1ns, guitars. zithers, and especially phono- graphs in abundance. In referring to this branch of the Federation Work an officer, on his way to France, said: '.Give the boys music, the best music and all the ousic you can."
 Rural Club Work While ,he work of the federated clubs in the cities has been great, as was to be expected, that in the coun- try places has touched the high wa ter mark in the splendid response made by the IuOuSaud5 ol oAA1t"aA eAeso'' 1 in the outlying country places throughout every section of the coun- try. These women's clubs in small places have purchased many Liberty Bonds and donated liberally to the l Red Cross, to the '. M. c. A, and the Y. w. c. A.
 The State Secretary for Tennessee's Federation of Clubs writes that through the organization of federated clubs in every part of Tennessee the women of that. State have been early and late at their posts of duty as the call for service of it's women has gone forth. The women of Tennessee stand ready to help in any movement for the betterment of the country and to as- sist the Governnne ent at a moments mo- tice.
 From the Nevada Federation or women's clubs comes the word: "Our women are meeting all demands made upon them and are always ready ana anxious to do more. Many or our clubs, especially in the smaller towns. devote their entire meetings to Red Cross work. In the larger cities sep arate organizations are maiHtaaneo' but the clubs are ready at all times to share their part of the burden"

 AHAT THE American boys who
 are weary of the camp and the
 trench as they fight their coun-
 try's battles in France may have aBhghty'' to which they may go for est and recreation, and where they kay enjoy some few of the comforts ! home, will be the main thought and bnic of discussion among the repre- kntatiyes of the 100000 wom en lembers of the General Federation , Women's Clubs when they meet at he fourteenth biennial on April 29 Hot Springs, Arkansas.
 To provide such recreaional cen- F for their sons and husbands and rothers in military service was the bason for the creation of War Vic bry Commission at the board meet "a of the General Federation of komen's Clubs held in Hot Springs, tfrginia, last winter. The fund set br this provision was $250,000, and Ae women of the board laid the foun- hxtion of that sum by a contribution t s5,0oO. Since that time the amount
 as grown approximately with the
 Rys and their need of patriotism.
 m 1t will not be surprising if the
 pecifed quarter of a million runs into l sum far greater and one that is
 tupordonate to the splendid title of hecmnnission set out to raise 1t. Thts bigwar effort for war relief is he conjoint endeavor of the two mil bon women from every State in the |tnshn rnrreseutee an the General Fed.

eration C. Nomens Clubs. Many oth- CT topics of timely interest will be discussed during the ten days meet ing, and wonderful harvest of war time effort and activity will be placed at the disposal of the 5000 federated clubs which will be represented.
 Standardized Dress
 Standardized dress is another sub ject which will come before the Gen. eral Federation as a whole, at it's Hot Springs convention. The effort to per suade women to adopt form of dress which will make for economy, sim plicity and greater efficiency along all lines of effort should carry it's special appeal in wartime. and the subject will be stressed by those women who have presented it and demonstra ted it's practicability and beauty for the past decade. Standardized dress does not imply uniform or anything ap- preaching uniform, but it does imply uniform basic pattern upon which may be built gowns of every fabric and for every purpose in woman's realm.
 In referring to the subject of stand ardzed dress, Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, President of the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs, said re- gently:
 "Has the time not come for us to definitely proclaim and take our stand in favor of standardization of dress for women? This need not imply q uniform, nor that we shall all look exactly alike; rather that certain rules must be obeyed, certain principles known and followed, while individual adaptation is made. It ought 10 mean more beauty as well as more freedom for actual expression of ourselves. In the solution of this problem it will be

be recorded and kept as a. part of the history of the General Federatlon for, however difficult life may be at this time, ii is inspiring to realize that we are taking an active part in it's making. II is my firm belief that the General Federation or Women Clubs is q more intensely active or gani2ation than any other m the world, and that it's complete organlza- lion makes it one of the most efficient working war organizations Of women in the country.
 Connections Made By Federation With
 The National Government
 While the women's clubs of the country are endeaVoring to carry on their normal club work in a normal way. the General Federation has made connection in nearly every one of it's departments of work with the Ma tional Government. AS one instance, the whole federation is placing itself solidly behind the Federal Children's Bureau in it's intensive child welfare campaign which was inanguratcd on April G. The topic, "The Children's s | Year of 191S," with its program or work outlining the saving of 100000 of the 3O0,0O0 American babies who die every year, is to be given one full days discussion at the biennial under the leadership of Mrs. Cowles. who will serve not only in her capacity ol | President of the General Federation of Women's Clubs but also in that ot director of the Child Welfare De partment of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense At this all-important meeting Miss Julia I.athrcp. Chief of the Fedora Childrens Bureau, will be prom inent speaker as will also be pr Jessica B.

To Clean Brushes.

To clean hair brushes, take q cupful of cornmeal and fill the brush, rubbing gently with the hand. As it absorbs the grease and dirt shake it out and use fresh meal till the brush is cleaned thoroughly. This is better than am monia, as there is no water to injure or loosen the back of the brush.
