Red Cross, Washington, D. c.:
Washington, d. c., Feb. "a, 1919.
Mr. w. G. Winterbottom,
Chairman Home Service Section
American Red Cross,
Cambridge, Maryland.
My dear Mr.. Winterbottom:
Miss Bryant, Staff Representative,
has written us quite extensively of
the work of your Home Service Sec
ton. May 1 tell you how much we
appreciate the spirit and the manner
in which the work is done? You are
certainly fortunate in having such a
person as Miss Leonard for your sec
rotary. Your suggestion of giving
the returned soldiers preference in
employing men in your factory is
splendid. It is going to do a great
deal to help solve our industrial
problems if that attitude is pretty
generally observed. Your plans for
recreation for the boys are also
mighty good. Unless you have
supply Of books, you might add
travelling library to your equipment
at the Armory. They can be secur-
ed on application to the Maryland
State Library.
If we can help you at any time at
Division Headquarters, we shall be
very glad to do so.
Yours sincerely,
DEPT. CIVILIAN RELIEF,
Helen K. Ships, Director Bureau of
Home Service Education.

anthracite mines are operating on part

minous coal mines are working over

This would be a fine chance for ex-

a surplus of bituminous coal. Eng.
land needs the latter and a spare
the former. In England most Of the
people do not know how to burn an

Of the way to use bituminous coal. The
English persist in using open CRATES
for heating rooms, and find 1t hard
to make anthracite burn in them. In
New York the open CRATE is found only
in the homes of the wealthy. Eng.
land shivers with plenty Of anthracite
in sight, while New York is threat
ened with a famine Of domestic sizes
Of anthracite. Each regards the
other as pig-headed because neither
knows how to use the fuel available.

This custom continued about thirty

Clevelands, as boys born during the

slump began during McKinley's term
and has continued ever since.
There are comparatively few Will

Roosevelt, with all his immense popu-
larity, gained but few namesakes. Pres

SQUABBLE OVER. CITY WALLS
People Of Canton, China, Divided Over
Question Which the Progressives
Have Put Forward.

There's a tempest in a teapot" and
a China teapot at that, e. the pro-
posal in Canton, China, to take down
the ancient city walls. "Shades Of our
ancestors" say some of the Cantonese,
1T is a sacrilege. It is an evil plan
inspired by foreign devils. Never has
it been done. Never shall it be. If
our forefathers got along with city
walls, so should we."
Such feeling against removal Of the
walls is expressed in the form Of a
protest by some Of the members Of the
Merchants guild to the civil governor,
according to the Canton Times, which
is for the removal Of the walls ION
account Of the congestion of population
and Of facilitating communications in
the city," and because public health
demands wider roads and more air for
the people,"
After admitting that the protest is
based on the grounds that demolition
of homes along the walls would deprive
hundreds of thousands Of their liveli-
hood" the Times, with true Oriental in
difference as to the effect of such treat
ment on said gentry, says: IF the
gentry think otherwise they should be
dumped into the river"

WHICH DO YOU PREFER?

Under the above caption the
Manufacturers Record of recent
date gives two ways to lower
prices-to reduce the high cost of
iving-as follows:
There are two ways to lower
prices:
Zone is for every man to work
to his utmost to increase product
ion in order that ultimately the
supply may outrun demand and
cause a decline in prices.
''The other way is just as sim
pie.
ut is merely to strike and keep
on striking and lessen production,
and by legislation destroy Ameri-
can initiative and business activity
until all business collapses, with
millions of men walking the
streets begging for a job. In this
case money with which to buy
would be so scarce that even
small production would exceed the
demand, and prices would go a.
tumbling and starvation and an
archy would hold sway.
Which do you prefer?
