WOMEN WORKERS SOWING SEEDS
 IN WAR GARDENS

Women workers of Pittsburg are sowing the seeds of victory at Forestry Camp war garden. The garden is a thirty minute ride by trolley from the heart of the city. At rush hour when the crowds are Hooking home scores Of girls from shops and offices make their way out to the five acre plot which is located on a high bluff over looking a beautiful valley.
 Here they jump into overa11s, get out their hoes and rakes, and begin a race with the sun to see how much hard manual labor they can do before it goes down.
 These girls belong to the Pennsyl- vania Association of Women Workers, and are members of various clubs who have 1oined forces with the Suuan- tos-one of their organizations form ed last year to give women workers a chance to do their bit as soldiers of the soil. They derive their name from the Indian chief who first taught the white people how to plant corn. They all work hard at their own trades or professions until five v OAONh SlAAO IA1CAA SAfO lLlS1 to Uncle Sam, growing food for his soldiers and his Allies.
 The site of the war garden is own ed by the city. When the women az riculturists took it over they discov- cred a ramshackle old garage on the premises. They seized upon this and after several applications of paint and wh&ee-wash had it transformed into a presentable building. The ground floor was converted into dining-room, kitchen and living room and a cook was employed.
 The farmerettes plant, hoe, weed and water as long as there is a vestige of daylight and after that they gather for a hearty meal which is served in the transformed garage. Shower baths have been improvised in the basement and the girls refresh them selves after they have come in from their plots. and, if they choose, spend a delightful evening dancing to the music of victrola, or just resting and swapping yarns about their beets and radishes.
 Out in the field there are three big tents with sixteen white iron beds in each tent. Here the war garden girls camp out in real gypsy fashion when they spend the weekend tending to their, plots- Each girl has a garden

strike most women as probably entirely appropriate if one has money enough to wear that sort of thing" or well enough if you go in for ex- tremes." But underwear that is too widely wandering from the straight and narrow path of the conventional idea of what underwear should be is branded as iniquitous. q wonder what sort of creature would wear that sore of lingerie" one woman whispers to her companion in tone that clear ly indicates that she has in mind ex actly the only sort of creature that would so stoop from dignity. After all it may be that this is a bit of inconsistency-th point of view. It may be that we are in a transition period. Perhaps before long colored and bright colored and bizarre un- derthings will be looked upon as a matter of course. Perhaps before long with a greater and greater sim plification of outer apparel women will get to regard their underthings as a suitable part of the wardrobe in the selection of which to display individuality and personal preferences in color and design.

TEACHING GERMAN
 LANGUAGE

There may be places in the United States where instruc- tion in German language in the public schools is conducted for the purpose of preserving Ger man national spirit in America. This could happen Tn strong German centers of population, of which there are a few.
 It is unwise, however, to stop instruction in German for Americans. The World, speak ing with it's usual patriotic in telligence, says:
 For the moment the German
 tongue is in disfavor, and yet
 American soldiers in France who
 are familiar with it are as use- ful on that account in their con-
 tact with the enemy as are others
 having some acquaintance with
 French in their association with
 gallant allies. If every American
 soldier spoke French and Ger
 man as well as English, our
 great army in Europe would be
 vastly more powerful than it is
 It is of the greatest value to Che Germans that so many of their officers speak English, as when, for instance the captain of a submarine, desires to in- terrogate the crew of an Amer ican ship. American knowl- edge of the German language is valuable also because it af- lords protection against Ger man intrigue.
 While it is proper and wise to feel antagonism to the Ger man language, it is not wise tc abandon its use by Americans The German language ought tc be studied to help America Simple minded persons traveI by an easy road to conclusions sound in good intention, but unsound in fact.
 What is the objection to in, struction in German? "The Germans are barbarous, they are hateful and they are hated

GOOD SENSE FAILS IN UNDERWEAR
 COLORS

Just why the idea of purple and yellow chiffon underwear or scarlet underwear trimmed with wide black lace seems decadent, morbid if not positively depravel, it is hard to say. Yet the average woman when she pauses to gaze at the new barbaric colored and wholly out-of-the-beat- en-path underthings that are shown in some of the shop windows has a feeling of having looked upon some thing that indicated an entirely wrong trend in woman's fashion. Yet she can look at the new bathing suits that have surely carried the fabric conserving idea beyond the demands of mere patriotism and that show all sorts of queer con trasts in design without a qualm. At worst she is merely amused :.

50x50 feet and is raising all the vege- tables indicated by the War Garden Commission as aids in winning the war.
 There are usually a hundred girls at work on the plots. Most of them knew little or nothing about agricul- ture before they undertook this work and few of them had ever handled a hoe. But the Squanto Club, which acted as organizer for the groups, made a success of a similar venture last year, when it's members raised $1,500 worth of produce on an old unfertilized plot of ground. The far merettes thought nothing of raising 12 pound cabbages and so they talk like veterans to the "Greenies," as the new farmerettes are called, and urge upon them the importance of a succession of crops"
 - Enough farm produce will be raised in the garden this summer to feed 150 families. The girls will form canning clubs and put up all that cannot be consumed so they will earn for them selves the credit of being food con- servationists as well as producers.

MAKE YOUR OWN WAX.

Some people prefer waxed to var nished wood. Wood may be stained and sized and then the wax applied.
 There are many good finishing wax es on the market or the home decora- tor may prepare his own in the fol- lowing manner:
 Mix one and a half pounds of bees wax with five ounces of resin and a pint of tirpentine. Place in a warm oven for a few minutes to melt to the consistency of thick cream.
 If the wax is still too thick 1t may be diluted with a little more curpen- tine and then applied rapidly with a cloth. This done, the waxed surface should be brushed and finished off with woolen cloth.

THE CIRCUS IN DANGER.

1t would be disaster il there should
be no circus this year merely because
the railroads are unwilling 10 furnish
transportation. Is their shortage Of
motive power a good reason why the
country should put on deeper mourn
ing?
When all nature is changing to YER
nal raiment, and the leaf-buds begin
to swell to bursting, and the cr0cuses
thrust their green speer- points through
the grass, every boy and girl knows
what it means without reading the
faring posters on the blank walls,
Instinct tells them. The circus is
coming. 1t is the spring event It
is the natural right of American child
hood, and to deny it would be a crime
against humanity New York City
can survive somehow even though
Madison Square Garden remains dark.
1t has the movies and thousand and
one amusements and diversions to
tighten life. But in behalf of the back
country the circus must be saved from
extinction.
In the good old days the circus did
not have to secure the permission of
the railroad manager to move about
the country. 1t was its own master
and furnished its own locomotion. 1t
travelled on it's own legs and on it's
wheels. The camel and the zebra
and the ponies paraded in triumph
through county after county, and the
small boy went down the road to meet
them and get job carrying water to
the elephant, that admitted him to
the afternoon performance. But the
modern circus has become copitalisitc.
It mants ease and comfort and luxury.
There is an easy answer to all this.
Let us get hack to the old-fashion-
ed circus with one ring and start the
parade promptly at ten oiclcck.-New

THINKING OF 1920.

get in closer touch with the situation.
Republican leaders in Congress are
doing their utmost to make the war
proposition a Democratic affair. There
is no doubt that some of the so-calIed
Investigations now in progress were
inspired, and are being manipulated
by Republicans. in the hope of bring.
ing discredit upon the Democratic
