The evening herald. (Klamath Falls, Or.) 1906-1942, 1919-07-07

Two hundred soldiers were sitting
around
The Red Cross hut OF rest:
To entertain these lonesome souls
The girls were doing their best. .
One fellow was pounding away.
In the corner. on the old Baby Grand
And fellows who hadn't danced for
months.
With the girls were trying their
hand
:. was shorty ait-r that piece IN the
paper,
In the Tribune of the twelfth of May;
g: rcely sold: hat is now abroad,
VIII ever forget that day
4 woman with her meddlesome pen,
Had left us at a loss
As TO what TO do in such case:
She had attacked the American Red
cross.
No nobler women have ever lived
Than our girls of the A. f. F.
You can learn this from our fighting
men,
Unless your ears are deaf.
And now this female comes over the
sea
Among us to spread discomfort;
God knows, we've got enough of
that,
What we need is encouragement.
Bolshevism is running in this world,
rampant,
And we don't want it here in our
ranks;
So give her her pictures and send
her back
Because we don't want her-thanks!

SET CHILD STANDARDS

Minimum standards for the welfare
of working children were drawn up
in tentative form as a result of a
three-day conference on child welfare
standards, held in Washington, D. c..
These standards will be further dis
cussed at regional conferences to be
held during the next three weeks in
several cities under the auspices of
the Children's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor.
Sixteen is set as the lowest age at
which children can go to worl in any
occupation during th9 months when
school is in session. Nine mcnChs'
schooling, either part or full time, for
children between seven and eighteen
years is proposed as the minimum edu-
cational standard A child OF sixteen

The railroad solution offered by or

road brotherhoods, and supported by
the American Federation of Labor as
whole, and the declaration of the
Policy Committee of the United Mine
Workers of America for the national

cratic management are also indica-
tive of the workers determination to
make our country safe for democracy.
Government reports show that there
are 8,500,000 persons over 10 years
of age in this country who can not
read nor write the English language
1t seems unnecessary to urge that our
educational system be revised that
this illiteracy menace to a government
"of, by and for the people" be re-
moved
Another policy that would make
this country safe for democracy is or

Labor Day, 1919, the organized
workers possess greater intelligence
and confidence in themselves than at
any other period
The trade union movement was true
to its historic mission in the great
war that defeated a military autoc-
racy and it has not forgotten the plea,
Make the World Safe for Democ-
racy" that so successfully united the
people of our country IN one purpose.
The organized workers will continue
their efforts to make our country
safe for democracy, though certain
other elements of our citizenship have
abandoned this plea in their desire
for material gain, regardless of eff
fects on the nations life.
The workers determination is in
dicated in their demand that the pur-
chasing power of their wages permit
them to meet present living costs.
The workers have not forgotten
praises showered on them during the
war and they now insist that living
standards shall not be lowered They

HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS

DOn'ts to be Used in Feeding Soldiers
Don't give him beans. Green beans
are all right. But never give him the
comedy beans.
Don't give him salmon. Not cooked
or smoked or in salad.
Don't give him hash. Not even if he
liked it before.
Don't give him corned beef. Not
even in sandwiches or with eggs.
When he was over there he called it
"corned willy" monkey meat" and
"bully beef"
Don't give him bread pudding. He
has had a great deal too much of it.
Don't give him rice pudding. 1t will
make him think he is being forcibly
fed.
Don't give him condensed milk.
Don't give him Irish stew. He
used to call it "slum" in the army. He
no longer desires it.
Don't give him horse meat. You
wouldn't anyway, but nevertheless
don't.
This leaves a number of pleasant
dishes which you may serve him. He
will welcome chocolate ice cream
trick steak, roast beef, French fried
potatoes, salad with Russian dressing
ham and eggs and other delectable
dishes.
If you treat him in accordance with
the culinary advice so outlined he will
once more be one of the worlds happy
workers and stick to his job, be it ole
or new.-Exchange

sisting of Mr.. A. G. Blowers, of the
Beard of Trade, Mr.. R. S. Rogers, of
the Motor Club, and Mr.. Z. G. Cham
bliss, of the Rotary Club, has been
