NOT RUSHING
To THE C0LORS

WASHINGTON, June 21.-German
youths no longer rush to the colors
with the enthusiasm that marked the
mobilization of 1914, according to an
article in the Berlin Vossische lei
tung, telling of the wartime impair
ment of the German educational sys-
TEN.
"The spirit of voluntary service
which at the beginning of the war
revealed itself in it's fairest aspect has
now disappeared" says the article.
Everywhere we hear lamentations
over the increasing distaste shown for
military service"
Scholastic standards in the public
schools have fallen so low, it is said,
that promotions no longer represent
any definite standard of accomplish
ment" Scholastic efficiency has suf-
fered considerably because subsisting
on war diets for long periods gen.
orally finds the pupils undernourished
Juvenile delinquency has spread to
an alarming extent, and it is an
nounced that already the number of
violent crimes committed by youths
in the city of Berlin is more than
three times the number in 1914"
Thus" concludes the article, dark
picture of 1914. Every disciplinary in
fluence, every effort of the still fun
damentally sound German nation must
be eXerted to oppose this tendency,
and to lead the children back to the
path of rectitude"

A method of making diamonds of
commercial size and quantity was sug-

to submit large mass of iron, alloyed
with other elements, to heat. After

What w omen In Their
"Forties" Need
BY A SPECIALIST

Many women approach the critical
changing period of their lives that
comes between the ages of forty and
fifty, unmindful of its tremendous
Importance to their future health and
happiness. Not understanding the
functional changes taking place in
their bodies, they work beyond their
nervous wrecks, their bodies suffer-
ing with fatigue and their weakened
nerves trembling at every step. Often
in their weakened condition capillary
hemorrhage becomes excessive, this
added drain compelling them to take
to their beds from nervous exhaus-
tion.
What these women need is some-
thing that will instantly relieve the
pressure on the overworked nerve
centers and give them the vitality to
stand up under the grueIing strain.
Wonderfully effective results are
often given in such conditions by the
simple use of Margo Nerve Tablets, q
skillful combination of six of the best
nerve vitalizing elements known to
modern chemistry. These little tab
let's contain no dangerous habit-form
ing drugs and are entirely harmless
in their action.
Thousands of women can testify
that Margo Nerve Tablets strengthen
the faded nerves, revive the tired
brain and put the energy and courage
into the body that enables one TO
stand up under the unusual strain of
the changing period. Margo has to do
these things or it costs nothing as

We'll, how is everything, Helen?'
queried Mrs. Stevens, coming out
from Helen's bedroom and pulling
down the front of her blue taffeta
dress as she came.
Just fine. I'm so glad you came

evening playing cards"

She's rather hard to rile," said
Mr.Stevens.
Don't you really get worked up
over things?" asked Helen wistfully.

Stevens, and the game went on.
At 11.3O o'clock Helen brought in
the sanwiches and Warren appeared
with beer, and at IL the Stevenses
had gone.
Helen had slipped into her bath
robe and began to take out the
plates and glasses, and Warren set
tied down for a smoke, when the
doorbell rang furiously.
"Who on earth can that be at this

ing to the door.

"Oh, there's a policeman down
there now, and we've done every

Life'sProblems
Are Discussed
BY Mrs. Wilson Woodrow

by MIS-. wilson WOODROW
I haven't any illusions about my
Dwn sex.
1 am not one of those who believe
that national suffrage for women
will imm ediately usher in the Mill
lenium, and prove a panacea for
all our ills.
1 fancy that in Office and in their
party councils women will play
politics" and be swayeE by un-
worthy influences just as much as
men.
L do not claim superior virtue
for my side of the house; in fact.
l am inclined to believe that men
are the more staunch in upholding
a principle, less inclined to waver-
ing or compromise.
But there is going to be one big
difference when woman takes her
equal place in the Government.
The Government is going to be a
closer and more intimate thing to
the people than it has ever been
before.
And that will come about from
an increase of courtesy in the,
various bureaus and departments.
The ordinary citizen doesn't
often come in contact with Cover
nors, Mayors or other high officials.
His business, when he has any, is
usually transacted through minor
clerks and subordinates who en-
meshed in red tape and safely an
chored to their jobs by the rules of
the Civil Service make it the en-
deavor of their lives to draw their
pay with as little return in effort
as possible.
To this type of mind the use of
the proper report form and de-
votion to rigid routine are of vastly
greater importance than satisfying

the tale of the courtier who by mis-
take gave her his tailor's bill instead
of the petition which he wished her
to present to the First Consul, and
who was afterward assured by her
that she had been deeply touched
by the contents of the paper and
would lose no time in laying it be-
fore her husband. But that was only
one unfortunate instance; usually
she scored.
The red-tape artist and the mar
tinet have their place. But if
were a government executive or
head of a department I would place
on the first line of attack only soft
voiced, sympathetic women of about
thirty with tender hearts and hair
worn Madonnawise. And in choos-
ing them | would subject all candi-
dates to the psychological test of a
five minutes conversation. If any
applicant did not ask at least twen-
ty questions in that time 1 would

affair will "be taken up in the
regular order"
There are exceptions. of course,
but that is the usual type of minor
officeholder, and that is the usual
treatment accorded any one who
dares disturb them. The variations
of it run all the way from gruff
Doorishness TO elegant indifference,
but the effect is the same. The citi-
zen leaves fuming at his futility and
confident that nothing will ever be
done in the matter which he has
submitted. And nine times out of
ten he is right.
Owing to the inciVility and lack
of consideration he has received,
he begins to feel that between him
and the government he supports
and pays to maintain there is a
great gulf fixed. He becomes a po-
tential anarchist.
But why should a shirtwaist and
La Valliere behind the counter. in
stead of a waistcoast and horseshoe
pin, effect an improvement in meth
ods? Women can be quite as snip
py as men, perhaps more so. The
woman red-tape martinez is as IA
miliar a figure to those acquainted
with office work as is her male coun-
terpart.
Yet no matter how deeply sunk
in the ditch of routine, feminine
curiosity is bound to assert itself
Proverbially, traditionally. charac-
teristically women want to know"
And for most of them personalities
have an absorbing appeal. Genera
tions of sewing circles and back
fence colloquies have left their in
delible impress on the sex
ing in to recite his family troubles
or to report the iniquities of the peo-
pie in the fiat overhead or to COM
plain of official negligence and in
justice and demand the heads of
everybody concerned he will be very
apt to find with a woman behind
desk an eager listener to his story.
And it will be as soothing balm to
his perturbed soul.
His difficulty may be trivial or
something entirely outside the prov
ince of the authorities; probably it
is. A male clerk would recognize
that in the first half dozen sentences,
and with brusque Nothing doing"
would turn away.
But a woman will probe and
question and lead him on through
dozens of irrelevant details until
he has talked himself out, and then
if she regretfully assures him that
although he has her personal SYM
pathy the department is so circum-
scribed by law as to be powerless to
aid him, the chances are that he will
go away perfectly satisfied. Half of
the complainants only want to get
it off their chests anyhow.
Feminine curiosity! Some phil
once said that everything in
this world has it's uses, and here
is one for trait which has long
been funk at women as a reproach.
Unless I am vastly mistaken it will
serve as an effective lubricant to
ease much of the fraction in govern
mental contact with the public.

Helen flushed at the words but
said nothing. The next minute War

into the kitchen to get a pail of hot
water.

he called to Mrs. Stevens.
You can't do anything with it,
can you? l suppose Henry will
have to have it towed in to some
garage" Mrs. Stevens was almost
crying now, and Helen met War
ren's eyes for a moment as he left
with the pail of hot water. They
were filled with all kinds of unsealed
things.
Helen came over to the window
and stood looking down with Mrs.
Stevens. Suddenly there was a
snort, and almost instantly the en-
gine began to hum. Its sharp STAG
cato beat could be heard plainly, and
Mrs. Stevens turned to Helen quick

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
AN YOU TRUST YOURSELFs


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am a telephone girl, caring for
switchboard in a very large apart
ment house. l am considered attrac-
tive, and, though I try to appear re-
served, the men in the house pay
me a lot of attention.
Several of them have asked me to
go out with them or meet them for
lunch downtown. Do you think it
proper for a girl in my position to
accept these invitations? 1 am not
referring to the invitations of mar
ried men (though they are more fire.
quent than any other).
l would like to know your opinion,
as 1 must confess I do not go out
very much, and often feel inclined to
take advantage of the many offers
pressed upon me. SALLY.
1 am going to make a confession,
my dear-my respect for mere pro
priety" is not always overwhelming.
To do what is right and sensible and
dignified and self-respecting seems to
me a great deal more important than
to worry over the fine points of eti-
quette. But there are certain rules
of the game" which everybody ought
to observe. One of them you in
stinctively follow-you would not
consider accepting the invitations of
those worldly and cynical married
men who in our day and generation
like to amuse themselves at the ex-
pense of any silly little girl who
would play up" to them. AS to go
ing out with the men you meet
through your position, can you trust
yourself to. be so dignified and we'll
bred that even if they start out to
have "a little lark" with the tele-
phone girl. they will end up by rec
ognizing that their guest has been
dignifed, refined young woman who
demands as much respect and dignity
as ever they have given to the girls
in their own social world? If you
are we'll poised, sane and high prin-
cipled and, added to that, have lit
