WOMEN WILL WIN
THE WAR

One of the soundest expositions,
so far published. OF w01nan's status
In the war. appeared in the. Decem-
Der issue of Good Housekeeping
where the celebrated food specialist,
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. writing on
Paying For The War" declares
that n nation is uncomfortable only
SO long as Its women are unsubdued.
To quote: -.s-n -,
"The housewife Is the one who
seems to be most keenly affected. I
am writing this war article In the
hope that, In view. Of the facts which
condition the present state Of af-
fairs. she will hereafter, not grum-
BILE at the increased prices which
she Is now called upon to pay. 1t Is
not good for the country to have
any large class of our people COM
planning. Patriotism means more
than taking off ones hat to the flag.
standing up when THE Star Span
gled Banner" Is played. and shout
ing oneself hoarse at the passing
procession. This Is ebullition, not
patriotism. True patriotism consists
In doing something which is a sac
rifice, or something that touches us
both In pocketbook and in sentiment
in behalf OF our country.
In my mind. there is no question
Of the constitutionality Of the Food
Administration Act. II the govern
ment can run the post office. control
the militia, and reQuisition our SOL
diers and sailors for service, under
the constitution, then the same prin-
ciple can be applied to every mater
ial thing.
The great danger Of our present
law Is that It is discriminatory. Such
things as food, fuel and beverage are
now to be nationally controlled. A
law of this kind should apply to ev-
cry commodity: SO that no class Of
our citizens could enjoy any advan-
tage over another.
have Just read what seems to
be reliable statistics showing that
the actual death rate on the battle
front Is only about one per cent Of
all who are engaged. It 10 true that
that one may be the one thing that
some one OF US loves. On the other
hand. II for every man that dies In
battle, q dozen lose their lives at
home by reason Of famine or insuffi-
Client food, and especially II this be
children. then the desolation Is ap-
palliny. It Ia difficult to realize that
our battles are fought at home; we
hardly realize that It Is the women
Of the world who are really Its fight
ers. We do not understand as fully
as we should. that nation Is un-
conquerable only so long as its wo-
men are unsubdued."

GOOD ROADS
The science OF road building
changes every year. The construc-

time now.
How can we spend our money with
out wasting It, and get roads that

ed for series of feature editorials
