 The collectors wish to extend thelr thanks to the factories through the press for the great amount of help they rendered in helping the en- ployes to fill out their own returns and also helping them in having them sworn to and correced before being forwarded to the office.

Additional Local News

A large number of citizens of Paw
Paw and vicinity were in Kalamazoo
last Monday evening to attend the
Boxing exhibition at the Armory.
Homer Smith, a former Waverly boy
was one of the contestants in the
main bout of the evening and the
chief attraction for the spectators
from this community. His opponent
was the giant, Andre Anderson, cham
pion heavy weight at Camp Grant,
and an aspirant for Dempsey's WORLD
title. Homer made short work {
the huge fighting machine however
and put him on the mat for the final
count in the early stages of the
second round. A solar pleXus from
the right with left hook to the jaw
did the business. Sporting critics
present at the ring side, commented
on the improved condition of Homer,
since his bout with Anderson at Camp
Grant last year while both boys were
in army service. He was Lightning
fast for big man, and went at his
man like a tiger from the first sound
of the gong. There are those among
his friends who are optomistic enough
to believe that he may in the near
future become a promising conten-
der for championship honors. A
semi-fnal with two good prelimin-
aries made up the card for the eve
ming, and the boxing was swift
enough to satisfy the most ardent
advocate of the sport.

Political Corruption.

Corruption in political life is really

The original Red Cross house at
Hampstead, Nassau County, Long Isl
and, established in 1914, is still on the
map. Moreover, it is continuing its
activities at top speed and, in addition,
has undertaken the work of sending
clothing to the refugees of France and
Belgium, according to an announcement
made yesterday by the Hampstead Gar
den City branch of the Red Cross, which
conducts the famous house
1t is situated on Fulton Road, old
fashioned, surrounded by grounds full
of quaint old trees, and a mecca to the
men of the camps near by, according to
the men themselves.
One section of the grounds has been
cleared by the soldiers to erect a pavil-
ion for dancing. Rest rooms occupy the
entire first floor, with the exception of
the dining room, where the patriotic
women of Hampstead and vicinity oper-
ate a canteen day and night, and an ex-
ecutive Office that gives correct informa-
ton on Red Cross matters in general

to all who inquire. There is also an
employment bureau for soldiers wives
seeking work.

A petition for citizenship was granted
to John Manos, Greek, of Seattle. on
the promise that he would take care of
his two children so his wife could 90
to night school, Jeremiah Ncterer was
the judge Of the United States District
Court who granted Manos's petition.
Magarlta Spalding Gerry tells the
story for the Department of Labor:
"Manos, after twelve years residence
in this country, applied for his second
naturalization papers. Otherwise ac-
ccptable, he was denied citizenship be-
cause he had not brought his wife to
this country.
"Manos was so eager for citizenship
that he returned to Greece for the sole
purpose of bringing his wife to the
United States.
"When Mrs Manos was questioned
She explained that she could not speak
English because the care of her two
American-born babies prevented her
from attending night school. The judge
then cXactcd a promise from Manos
that he would stay at home and take
care of the children on school nights
so his wife could go to school.
The fact that, by law, the wife be-
comes automatically naturaized with
her husbands admission to citizenship
has proved q great stumbling block.
"Thc Bureau Of Naturalization,
through it's examiner, has for years con-
tended that the wife of the petitioner
should appear in court with her husband
when his petition is heard and should
be required to take the oath of alleg-
ancc with him. This practice is gain
ing ground (notably in Oregon, Ala
bama and Washington).

back in the fall of 1914, nearly five
years ago, few in America saw the need
of Red Cross work The war had not
touched America. We were still three
thousand miles away, with no prospect
Of coming nearer, but the women who
were the pioneers in the work heard the
call of suffering and knew the need of
the house. Time proved their vision
and humanity. The officers and execu-
tive committee have remained the same
throughout the four years.
Last week the house sent its third
shipment Of refugee clothing abroad
since the signing of the armistice. This
allotment consisted of IA 900 pounds Of
clothing. AS long as there is need the
refugees will be cared for.
First aid and surgical dressings classes
are a part of the activities at Hemp
stead rest and recreation rooms for the
soldiers with a library and reading
rooms, standing canteen and a motor
bus for the convenience of the men who
arrive at the house without knowing the
way to their future destinations or who
need transportation.

bling and cutting department for Red
Cross sewers is large room on

Why Shouldn't Girls
Be Citizens, Too?

These recommendations are heartily
approved by Mr.. J. J. Pettyjohn, direc-
tor of Educational Extension of the
Bureau of Education of the Department
of the Interior, and he commends Gov
ernor Smiths proposed legislation trans
ferring the duties of the Military Train
ing Commission to the Department of
Education in this state.
But" said Mr.. Pettyjohn in Wash
ington yesterday, camps for physical
training and citizenship are necessary
for girls, too. The movement in this
country to furnish outdoor life that will
be an inspiration for better American
citizenship is growing. These camps
give boys a social point of view, a sense
of civic responsibility that will extend
to state and national affairs. There
should be camps to extend such advan-
tages to girls, too"
AS practical basis for the establish
ment Of citizenship camps for girls the
organization Of Girl Scouts is able to
furnish material. Mrs. Josephine Daskam
Bacon, who has for several years been
connected with the Girl Scout movement
in America, believes in the universal es-
tablishment of camps for girls.
Camps to teach citizenship and give
physical training are just as necessary
for girls as for boys" said Mrs. Bacon;
call classes Of girls need the outdoor life
and the training. The daughters of the
wealthy families like the camp life and
need some of the things it offers, just
as much as the girls from poor districts.
The needs of one group of girls may not
be those of another group, but all can
find work to do that will make them hap
pier and more useful citizens. The
camps supply something that the home
and the church and the school have
failed to give.
81 believe that the state should recog-
nize the benefits that can be derived from
the training camps for girls. But the
camps should be recreational and should
provide the things that the girls them
selves want
