LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW

I If you hear these things said once
I YOU hear them a dozen times: Il
tdon't know what is the matter with
me this spring; l can't shake off
! this depression. l am not at all like
myself. l never was irritable before.
! And now I'm cross and horrid all
the time" Or, 81 have just had one
thing after another happen to me
illness, bad luck, everything gone
wrong Or, Il don't know what it is,
but l have never been so miserable
and unhappy before. There is some
thing in the air." They are right.
There is something in the air-War.
For:
THE grim gods of the past have
arisen,
The black swamps throb and the
mountains boom,
And the dust from their iron-san-
dalled feet
Shrouds the sun in blood-red
Out of the northern mountain
Flame the banners and glare the
swords,
The old gods march from their wild
morasseS,
Inc OlQ SOuS IlldTCn "lJH InSlT an
cient hordes."
And no matter how occupied we
may be, or how remote the actual
scenes of battle, we are all involved
with the mighty struggle. The waves
of that sea of conflict and pain and
death are beating ceaselessly upon
our inner ear and breaking over our
hearts. We are all in 1t. whether we
are soldiers or nurses of Red Cross
or Y. NJ. C. A. workers. or sitting
here in the safe security of our
homes. 1t is a part of our con-
sciousness, and none may escape it,
rich or poor, high or low. The war
has come home to us all. Many of
us read the other day of a conversa-
tion which a nurse who had recently
returned from the front is said to
have held with a famous surgeon.
He was by nature and training an
agnostic. But he said that since he
had witnessed in the hospitals and
on the battlefield the courage, the
self-sacrifice, the indifference to dan
ger, the transcendent heroism, which
was universal and not confined to
the few, he had been convinced
against his will and beyond all per-
adventure of the subliminal nature
of man and of the existence of the
great Over-Soul.
Those~wh have been much at the

Food Clubs

Every woman in every community
should, be interested enough to help
form, or at least to become a mem
ber of, food club.
In some states such clubs have
been organized in very thorough
and systematic manner by the Fed
eral food administrators. 1t is the
province of these clubs to dissemin-
ate food administration literature,
to act as a community exchange for
receipts, and to spread in various
ways the message of food conserva-
ton.
If no such club exists in your
community, appoint yourself a COM
mittee of one to interest the women
of your circle or neighborhood in
some systematic work along these
lines. Regular monthly meetings
might be held with occasional call
ed meetings between times.
The following suggestions are
given for the conduct of these meet
ings:
Give conservation news in answer
to rollcall.
Read messages from state and
county food administrators.
Give cooking demonstrations.
Conduct receipt contests.
Exchange receipts.
Report unpatriotic acts.
Conduct a question box.

front talk more of the splendors of
human nature than of the horrors
they have seen.
All the history we have ever read
seems tame in comparison with the
pages we are turning so fast to-day.
! The ages have resounded with the
echo of great and chivalrous deeds,
but all of them which have lived
as the theme of song and story are
the commonplaces of to-day.
While we sip our coffee we read
! each morning in the newspapers
epics that will fill the books of his
| torians thousands of years from now
There are many who say that this
tremendous conflict is the travail of
world prior to the birth of a great
new era.
/, for one, can never see the
marching ranks of our splendid boys
without believing that this new era,
predicted for ages by the dreamers,
the prophets and the seers of this
earth, is already at hand.
l venture to say that now with
our American boys fighting on the
western front, there are very few of
us who do not Immediately turn to
the casualty lists in the newspapers.
Our interest in them is very per-
sonal. So that we who remain be-
hind are also in training and on the
battlefield. For although we war
not with flesh and blood" we do with
grief and headache and sorrow and
despair.
Therefore, it is the hour for all
the courage and all the cheer and
all the determined putting aside of
our personal woes and disasters.
Our first duty is to keep our spir-
its up and to encourage others to do
so, for our mental states will GER
tainly react upon those dear to us
who either have gone to France or
are going.
They should have from us the
bravest, brightest and most hearten-
ing letters possible, not messages
filled with gloomy forebesrings and
details of home worries. l am aware
that this has been said before, but
it cannot be repeated too often.
They also serve who only stand
and wait" And our service should
be to see that no words of despair
go wailing across the sea. Neither
does it help you or any one else to
go about moping and complaining
that you are so blue" or so indefin-
ably depressed" or so "apprehen-
sive.' By this you are only giving
aid and comfort to the enemy.
The things we want to send across
the ocean are men and ships and
food and stores and guns and am
munition and aeroplanes, but above
all we want to send cheer
And to send it we must foster
and conserve it at home. The thing
for every one of us to do is to
Hooverize on gloom.

A CONSTANT READER.

Aren't you creating little dramatic
situation for yourself out of whole
cloth2 Maybe this family friend
thinks he must offer the daughter
of the house some little courtesies and
means nothing at all serious by them.
However, l am only offering this as
possible solution. If the man knows
of your engagement and tries to force
his attentions upon you, he deserves
no mercy. Tell him simply and with
emphasis that your heart and loyalty
are both all for your soldier boy, and
that you have no interest in other
men and no respect for a man who
annoys you with his unwelcome atten-
tions. If he does not know of your
betrothal, tell him. A little plain, un-
vanished and yet dignified English Is
what best fists your needs.

one can guarantee that emotion shall
last; every one is now under the in
fluence of a certain hysteria; but, al
ally loyal? Do you care deeply and
generously? Can you contemplate the
worst tragedies as the result of this
marriage and feel that they are not
too much to pay? Even If your lover
were already in camp. would approve
of your marriage If both of you are
made of the right stuff-and from
your desire to marry him and make
him happy and his wish to spare you.
l think you both are true blue.

HOW DEEP ARE YOUR FEELINGS .
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Two years ago my sweetheart and
had an understanding that we were
to be married as soon as certain cir
cumstances permitted. We are now
engaged and the circumstances ad-
justed but he is in the draft and
doesn't know when he may be sent to
France.
Now, some say we should be mar
ried before he goes and I agree but
he says although he would desire it,
it would be sacrificing me, for if he
should not return he could never
tnink of what condition l might be
left in.
ANXIOUS.
1 approve of war marriages for wo-
men and men who are fine enough to
dare them. If your feelings are big
and strong and you are ready to sac
rifce and suffer for love-and true
love is always proudly prepared to
endure what it must-then marry and
may God bless you. This decision is
a matter of your basic character and
the permanence of your feelings. No

DON'T HURT YOUR HUSBAND
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX.


1 have married a man who is in
every respect a wonderful man, only
he is insanely jealous of me, even of
my women friends. Last October he
was called and at present is in the
Army. Three months ago l met a
man and have grown to love him
dearly. OF course, no one knows of
our meetings and l have told him so
many times that were the world to
know of our love they would not be-
lieve us innocent of wrongdoing. My
husband has made me miserable by
his jealousy. and it is in this mans
companionship alone that 1 find any
comfort, although ] love my husband
and would not hurt him for the world.
Do you believe any woman can really
love two men at the same time?
TROUBLED.
Do you think a generous woman
who knows her husband is "insanely
Jealous" would risk any hurt to him
when he is absent fighting in the
cause of liberty? Apart from any
question of "propriety," this seems to
me most unworthy of womanhood or
patriotism. Please. my dear friend,

OF COURSE 1T is "PROPERo
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Some time ago l was introduced to
young man at a social gathering at
the home of a relative. We have
corresponded since then. and now he
has asked to take me out to my girl
friends home My mother has met
him, but not his parents, and knows
nothing about them, and she will not
consent to my going, as she believes
1t is improper for a girl ever to go
out with man unless she intends to
marry him. Do you agree with her?
1 am seventeen and he is two years
my senior. Will you please advise
me whether it is proper for me TO
go out with him?
NJ S. C.
I am a decided believer in clean,
honest, good times for young peo-
pie, and of pleasant friendships be-
tween boys and girls 1 will always
be an advocate. So / see no reason
why you should not be permitted to
visit your most intimate girl friends
home with this boy, who has been
received as guest in your home,
and with whom you have been al
lowed to correspond. / would not
suggest your going about with just
any boy-or going just anywhere
with this boy. But to the home of
your girl chum, and with a boy you
met in the home of your kinsfolk,
and whom your mother in turn has
met, why not? 1t is proper" and is
just the sort of little outing a moth
er can safely permit her daughter to
have.
