Brilliant Colors for Evening Frocks
For the Miss.

Part OF the fun OF skating is in the
costume. With the Kinks now open
and the temperature falling. many
smart skating togs are seen In the
shops. Women are realizing that
they would enjoy the sport more II
they had the suitable costume. one
cannot skate with tight skirt with
out some danger. And, besides. com
fort Is most essential for this rath-
err strenuous sport. SO the introduce
ton OF the circular skirt has been ac-
cepted and is so well liked that a
costume for skating is not authen-
tically so unless the circular skirt
appears.
At one OF the indoor Kinks the other
day i saw a striking costume worn by
one OF the amateurs. The skirt cut on
these lines was developed in violet
velour and lined with brilliant yell

seed trade. The other half OF the
prohibited red clover shipments was
rejected because 1t contained so much
dead seed as to be OF practically no
value for seeding purposes. Three
shipments. aggregating enough seed
to SOW 10000 acres at a normal rate
OF seeding, contained no seed which
could be expected to grow in the
field. Because OF the difficulties o,
transatlantic shipment, imports OF
almost all Kinds of seed have fallen
off. Canada bluegrass from Canada
and winter rape from Japan being the
only two items of imports which have
exceeded those OF the previous year.

A newspaper must not be expected
TO fight personal battles for subscrib-
ers. 1t influence must be used for the
people as a whole.
Every week some OF our friends
ask US to make somebody do some
thing. or course we feel compli-
mented when We hear that subscrib-
er feels that the paper is an import
ant factor in the community. But as
10 making anybody do things you
have the wrong idea, brother. If we
were to take every complaint that
comes to our notice editing the pa
per would be too warm a job for us.
Here are some of the late ques-
tons:
I'VE wish you would go after the
stores because they stay open so late
Saturday night" I'VE wish you
would go after the city council be-
cause the streets are not sprinkled
more frequently" "Why don't you
say something about the people who
run their ears in the city with the
cut-out open?" "Why isn't the speed
ordinance enforced?" "Why don't you
expose poker games?" why dc
nearby towns pay more for grair
than Friend?" why don't so-and-sc
go to WARP"
We could go on until this column
is full All these are mentioned
kindly i'm an effort to side-track som,
OF them or course We know tina
many of them are asked in a jokinl
manner, but many people are in earn
est and become angry when the pa
per appears without word said o
their complaint. Every citizen is
part of the city government. Ever.
citizen is a part OF the national gov
eminent and hasa right to make
complaint and inquiry to protect him
self and i'm a way better the govern
ment, but he must not expect a news
paper to flare up and raise Cain
with another citizen and at the sam
time protect the complainer iron

"BACK TO SCHOOL, SAYS U. 5.

do your bit for reconstruction by
going back TO SCHOOL," This is what
the children's bureau OF the U. S. de-
partment OF labor is saying to thous-
ands OF children who during the war
deserted the schools to enter indus
try. High wages and the labor short
age have proved an irresistible bait
TO many youngsters. Jobs Offering
little training and less future" have
been taken by the children who are
tired OF school," and "old enough to
work anyway" or who feel that they
must help at home" Whatever their
reason for wanting TO work, the feder-
al government has declared itself
against their employment in firms
having government contracts.
The Children's Bureau is sponsor
ing to-the-school drive which
will try TO return to school those
youngsters who have left too early
for their own good, and for the good
OF the country.
In many cases financial assistance
Is necessary to enable the child to
take up his studies again Many COM
munities will give this assistance in
the form OF scholarships, similar to
those now offered in a few high
schools. and in practically all col
leges and universities. 1t is hoped
that at least one scholarship will be
founded for each public school in tlie
country That would allow $4,000
children 10 return to school, who
could not do otherwise. The schol-
arships will have an average value OF
S12O. which will keep child in the
school for one year.
The refusal OF the Federal govern,
ment to employ children in the war
Industries gives point to the bureaus
contention that they should not bt
allowed TO form a cheap source OF
labor for the peace Industries. The
war labor policies board, the u. s
employment service, and the U. )
boys working reserve have all taker
| a stand against employing children
under IA The policy of all these or
CARNATIONS has been to discourage
the employment of children under l6
and to urge the child to go back e
school.
| As the bureau points out, the drive
success depends upon the coopera
ton that it gets. The teachers cal
either make or mar it, for IL is the!
who will have to show the returned
caild that the school room can Civ,
him an equipment so useful for th'
future that It entirely outweighs thu
present high wages. The schools
will be called on TO adapt themselve
more and more 10 developing tn
changing needs; and finally the com
munity needs to cooperate in demand
lag that child labor and school at
tendance laws be enforced, and tina
the children have the advantage o
vocational training and guidance, s.
that, as President Wilson says, "th
nation may be strengthened as II ca
only be through the right educatio
Of all It's people"
