The day approaches when in recog- hilton of the women's generosity in giving their men for the war the men are asked to give women hereabOuts the vote, says British correspond rnt. Nothing could be more timely. therefore. than to recall the story of what happened In that hospital of our British allies on the coast of Nor. mandy. 4 kind nurse was bending over the pillow of a wounded man x big corporal of the Grenadier Guards. She was dear old lady, the nurse, one who had in her time en- loved d full share as a militant suffra- :,pttc. In fact. she had led more than one furious assault on the houses Of parliament. Yet here she was lav. ishing the treasures of her sympathy .npon the cOuntry's mere fighting men. "It's odd" she said. "YOur face. my good man. isn't bit strange to me. can't get rid of the Idea that I've seen you many times before"

Germany Short of Food.

The real food situation in Germany Is the important puzzle of the war. The United States food administration has got hold of some figures on the standard German ration for nOncOm. batantS. which seem to indicate that the Truton> are in desperate straits
 Figured in ralories. the food value of this ration is only 10000. This ts not sufficient nOuri>hnrMt to keep a man of TAO pounds from losing weight steadily. even If he does nothing hut lie on his hack for 24 hours a day. If he has work to do. he will eat up his fat and then his muscular tissue. so much the faster. If the figures re- ceived by the food administration are correct and are not supplemented by other ratiOns not mentioned, the civil ian population of Germany must inev- itably be weakening fast.-Exchang

 Well, we had to wait. A lady. in handsome furs. held the bulldog by the chain.

You see 1t was like this -the. lady had her dog out motoring. They were riding rather fast and the air was cold
 "'She noticed that a little drop of moisture gathered in the dogs eye. It trickled down his cheek. The lady de- cided that something must be done. So she brought him to me--the glasses are to protect his eyes when he goes mOtOring.'

Spring is coming. The weather

Yes, there can be no doubt, spring IS

is going to end, certainly we do not.
The situation, as we see 1t, is simply
this; German army reinforced by
the liberation of thousands of war
prisoners heretofore held i'll Russian
detention lcamps and reprovlsioned
from the faithful fields of west and
south Russia will be much more
efficient fighting machine. Also will
the spirits OF the German and Aust
rian people be bolstered up, propped
up. let us say, by the achievements
of their rulers. They stand now a
better chance of being fed than they
have had for months past. The kais-
er and his gang are working their pres
ent advantage to- the limit. And once
more tire Allies must meet and con-
ouer it as they have met and conquer
ed it before But they will be labor
ing under increasing food handicaps.
for in spite OF the vigilance OF sub
marine destreyers. the U-bcats still
get many victims and in spite of our
European Allies efforts to keep up
their food production it IS gradually
falling off. because it is difficult to get
the necessary fertilizers and plant
foods and because one person cut oil

America is furnishing all the men

HELPING THE CHILDREN.

Some of the mothers who read this de-
partmcnt say they want to help theI chill
dren with their home and school work,
but need help themselves in order to do so.
II is perplcNng to hear geography
called travel talks" and grammar con
versation;" but it will never do Tor
mother or father to confess to having Tor
gotten the "thrcc RS" because OF deeper
interest in politics or fashion notes. There
is no doubling the fact that the home is
the chiIdrcn's teacher; for though paid
professors arc in love with their teaching
and its scientific side, they cannot love
each individual child as il should be loved
IN its home.
There are two ways of bringing the
home and the school closer; one is to
drill the children nightly through multi
pcation tables and Latin verbs until
their heads ache as hard as the parents
ears do The other way is slower but as
sure: when the children study geography

Washington Sept 1.-The fuel administration announced today that there is a possibility that its auto less sunday request may be extended to cover the ontir country.
