Night Air Not Dangerous.

There is still prejudice among
some against night air. For that rea-
son some foolish people sleep with
their windows closed. Night air Is
not dangerous. On the average II is
more pure than that of the day. In
malariOus sections exposure at night
may be dangerous, not because the
air is bad but because malarial mos.
quitoes bite only at night. The dam
ger is In the mosquitoes, not the air.

Holds ReceiNer In Position

Free use of both hands while tele-
phoning is made possible by wire
device, lately invented, that holds the
receiver in convenient operating posi-
ton. The bracket is so constructed
that it normally depresses the receiver
hook. To release the latter a thumb
Ipiece is pressed. The hook is drawn
down and the bracket member moved
in the opposite direction when one
ceases telephonfng. The device Is con-
venient for both home and Office use,
and specially in public telephone
booths.

'TOTHOSE WHO DIED
| Connecticut Town Has Memorial
for All Time.
Plot of Ground, Well Called "Tract OF
Glory" viii Be Henceforth the
Most Cherished Spot in
Norfolk.

In the little Connecticut town OF
Norfolk is a triangular piece of ground
belonging to the people. For years IT
stood useless, almost abandoned, and
to a certain extent unnoticed. Nor
folk sent to France early in 1918 a
score and a half Of her boys to fight
in the American armies. Other boys
followed.
4 few months after the first con-
tngent marched away Norfolk began
to receive it's share Of tidings from
the front. Names of boys known to
every one in the town were found in
the lists of those "killed in action"
Boys whose faces were bright and
shining and whose voices were strong
and CHEEKY were never to return
They were lying in the fields Of
France.
The return Of these names to Nor
folk instead of flesh and blood that
went away gave Norfolk it's inspira-
ton. The little green triangle became
a tract Of glory. No more will it be
looked upon as q waste, no more will
the people Of Norfolk call it worth
less. For some one thought Of a way
to make it rich, the most cherished
spot in Norfolk.
On Flag day in the year that the
war made heroes of these lads from
Norfolk the people Of that place dedi-
Gated the point Of this triangle to the
iTnnroopyy Of thoco who uynro not To cOpoo
back from France At that time four
Of NOrfolks boys were lying in France
under little crosses Of wood, and on
this day four little crosses of wood
similar to those in France, with
name and date on each, were driven
into the ground at the point Of the
triangle. There they will stay until
they are perhaps replaced by more en-
during and impressive marks of trib-
ute.
But the little crosses of wood are
not all that the people of Norfolk
placed in the village triangle in mem
DRY of the boys who will not come
back. Something that will live and
thrive and beautify the barren triangle
was placed there for each boy. and it
Is named for him. For each hero
tree was planted, and it will always
be known as bis tree, by his name
and long after the great-grandchildren
of those who now live in Norfolk are
dead and gone these trees will still
stand and will be known through all
the sunshine and storm of the ages by
the names they received at the chris
tening. They will grow to be tall and
mighty and spread their branches over
the cross that was won on the battle
fields of France-the simple cross Of
honor that every man wins when he
gives up his life for his country
The thought is beautiful. That lit
tie triangle in Norfolk will have more
trees and crosses; the boys who died
in France will live and grow to an age
far beyond the years of the Oldest of
men. How simple this way of com
memorating the deeds and the spirit
of the boys who go forth to the war
never to come home again. A little
cross of wood for the present, q tower
Ing tree for the future, and the name
OF hero preserved for an age to come

Labor. With New Vision. Calmly Faces
Big Problems Of Reconstruction
By SAMUEL GOMPERS President American Federation Of Labor

The war has been new thing to America, to labor,
to capital to governmental all Of u.s. With the war
have come methods, ideals, new inspirations.
We have had unusual problems to solve, and we have
employed unusual methods in solving them.
Labor, perhaps than any other single ee-
ment in society, has hesitated in adopting
these methods, in adjusting itself to the changed
viewpoint in putting its best foot forward. Only labor
has insisted upon knowing that what was found neces-

Policy Attacked.

Representative Greene, OF Iowa
Republican, recently delivered {
speech in the house in which hs
vigorously criticised the War De-
partment for its decision to keep
such a large army in France. declar.
ing this policy to be simply con
scription in time of peace.
Urging the passage of his bill di-
recting that an army of occupation
should be raised amcng the troops
now in Europe by voluntary enlist
ment, Mr.. Greene declared that
every movement made by the War
Department indicated its intention
to keep a big army in Europe for an
indefinite period.
The War Department, said
Representative Greene. has the
power, but it has no moral right to
indefinitely detain these drafted
men. They were not drafted for the
purpose of maintaining an army in
Europe after peace has been declar-
ed or even after it has been settled.

Put Your Baby on Record

Many occasions arise when it be-
comes vitality important to be able to
prove an individuals age. If the pa
rents or the physician in attendance at
birth have complied with the law by
Hing a birth certificate, there is no
difficulty in proving age. If this duty
has been neglected. then it becomes
very difficult indeed to establish be-
yond question the individuals age.
This is but one of several important
reasons which will occur TO the
thoughtful reader why the law requir-
ing the prompt reporting of births
should be carefully complied with.
The law requires that responsible
parents. the physician. or the midwife

tics of the State Board of Health, Jack
son, Miss. The law requires that the
birth of each child in the state be re-
corded. 1t is therefore not only the
duty of every citizen to see that this
law is complied with, but it is due the
child. Each day requests are made of
the State Board of Health to furnish
copies of birth certificates of persons
who have enlisted in the army or navy.
The Bureau of Vital Statistics was es-
tablished in 1912, when it should have
been established years ago, and such
records on hand for the use of our gov
eminent. 1t is a duty we owe to fut-
ure generations that the birth of all
children be recorded. The record of a
persons birth is often called for in the
settlement of estates and in provin z
citizenship.
Do you know your local registrar? In
each voting precinct of the state re-
sponsible person has been appointed
to whom a birth report should be made
within ten days after the birth. The
law requires the physician, or mid
wife who may be in attendance upon a
case of confinement, to make report
of the birth of the child within ten
days thereafter While it is the duty
of the physician or midwife to do this.

Where the Tide Ended.

There was a time when a wave of
pe-sismism swept over France in
gloom so dark and terrible that vic
tory seemed impossible. There were
many regiments at the front laid
down their arms, and it seemed as
if the allies must fail. The Germans
had broken through the British fifth
army to a depth of more than thirty
miles in their great drive for the
coast. Then came the fierce assault
upon the hard pressed French front
