her fault that she never learned TO

Your mother and father love you,
and that's the reason they are so
worried about you. You can afford
to be generous and forgiving. be-
cause you are right and they are
wrong. Why don't you go on about
your business, calmly and without
temper?
Go to your pastor and cell him
about it. Choose one who under
stands American ways He'll go to
your parents and try to make them
understand.
Make friends among the girls at
the factory. You are wrong to be
so much alone. Why shouldn't you
believe In friends? Are you so diff
ferent from all other human beings
that you don't need affection and
company of your own age?
Bring your friends home with you
and let your parents see that the
city is full OF girls with the some
ideas as yours. Good, honest, hard
working girls who have a right to
their own lives and their own in
nocent friendships.
Don't quarrel with your parents.
That only makes matters worse. II
you can't get along at all, leave
home and go and live with some re-
spectacle family that will under

house.
But whatever you do. do net drive

Be sure, little sister. that this state
OF affairs is not going to last very
long. 1t will soon be over. Time is
the greatest medicine for such
things. And remember, if you are

Here's the letter telling about it:

very fine thing to be of Italian

OF course. it is hard for you TO

father and mother are absolutely

but they are old and cannot change.
You cannot expect them TO see

OUR SUPER-POISON GAS

1t is we'll for mankind, and par
ticularly we'll for the Germans AM
Austrians, that the end of hostilitie,
came as early as it did. Had the wal
continued into 1919 America woult
have sent to Europe the most ter
rible instrument of slaughter evel
conceived.
The first complete story of thu
compound with which the United
States would have overwhelmed
the enemy is published in the New
York Times. We say complete
story because the matter is treated
exhaustively-but really complete
story will never be written, because
the secret is locked up in govern
ment vaults, and probably never will
be revealed. ~
Inasmuch as the Germans began
the use of gas, in violation of inter-
national rules of warfare, it was
only a natural consequence that the
allied countries should develop a
gas OF their own. The Germans
boosted that never would their ter
rible mustard" gas be approached
for deadliness of effect, but the
chemists of America had manu-
featured a gas seventy-two times
more powerful than the mustard.
1t Is called "methyl," which term in
no sense describes it.
Instead of being inoffensive at
first contact, it sets up an acute and
almost uncomfortable pain. It does
not spread thru the tissues, but
poisons the blood and attacks first
the kidneys then the heart and lungs.
1t hardens the cell tissues of the
lungs, and causes simultaneously
strangulation and a heart affection
which speedily produces violent
death. If taken into the lungs by
inhalation in any preceptible guam
tity it kills almost instantly.
So powerful in it's effect is this
"methyl" that the entire population
of Manhattan island could be de-
stroyed with nine tons of it. AT the
time the armistice was signed there
was being produced every day ten
tons Of the compound, and plans
were laid for a certainty Of 5000 tons
of 1t on the western front by March
1 of this year.
That the United States came to
know such a poison was due, in the
first place, to an accident. Years
ago a student in chemistry, then liv-
ing in another country, happened
upon combination which almost
cost him his life. 1t was a compound
never before made, or, at least, never
recorded. Subsequently he came to
this country, and when the question
of poison gases came to the front he
recalled his narrow escape and i'm
parted the information to the gov
srnment. The production of "methyl"
resulted.

SMITH SAYS

when the madam and I first be-
gan to talk about building our new
home 1t seemed to us that we were
assuming all the grief of the uni
verse. We actually dreaded to make
start. Neither of us knew a thing
about how to get what we wanted.
But when your architects SUBJ
mitted the first little color sketch,
embodying all our preconceived no.
tions of what our home should be,
we actually felt like heavy burden
had been lifted from our minds. This
was followed by a set Of working
details which simplified the whole
procedure and enabled us to keep
track of everything as it progressed
Your advice regarding carpenters
was certainly good, Mr.. Royse, that
bunch of men you recommended
were go getters from the start, and
they sure done us good job.
I'VE are more than pleased with
our new home, and when we get our
new barn and other outbuildings we
will certainly have a ranch to be
proud Of. In building our barnyard
we want them to cor
respond with the house, and make
all of our buildings harmonic with
our grounds. =" You will find our
architects just as good on other
farm buildings as they are on houses

further worries"

MOTHERS DAY

The day set aside for all sons and
daughters in the nation to honor
"The best mother who ever lived
will soon be along, the second Sun
day in May. Churches give some
thing special in their services on that
day, schools celebrate the day. on
Friday, and business people observe
it on Saturday.
Mothers Day" was first made a
national holiday by a proclamation
on Saturday, May 9, 1914. 1t was
originally intended that on that day
fathers should come in for a share
Of attention, but 1t became solely a
mothers day, and another day was
therefore dated for fathers.
1t is customary on Mothers Day
for sons and daughters to write or
send membranes, such as flowers,
to their mothers. A year ago the
army got together on the movement
and almost put the mail service
out of commission. The white car
nation is the official flower of the
day.

Miss Steffens had a difficult piece.
for a girl; one that should have a
strong, heavy voice and a fast
speaker. Nevertheless her wonder
full voice and feeling rendition placed
her. in the first rank of the evenings
performers. II she had chosen Por-
tia's defense of Antonio, from the
Merchant Of Venice, there wouldn't
have been an unm0ved person in the
place. She possesses lyric voice,
one that so easily brings an audience
to sympathetic vibrations that one
forgets to listen to what she is saw
ing and loses oneself delightedly in
the music of it.
Miss Lemon was unfortunate in
her choice of material, for altho she
gave the dramatic story of how a
railroad superintendent daughter

on time, and thereby made amends
with him, when he found out. for
having married against his wishes:
still it was long and no MASTERPIECES.
Miss Kenworthy started out in
such slow, drawing fashion that
her hearers al most Uttered, think
ing her style out of place for such a
piece as the touching romance of
little Jean Des PREF, who traded his
life against that of brutal Prussian
major, but as she advanced in the
tale everybody quieted, and soon ali
were fascinated. We saw the actors
in the tragedy and heard them sneak
tor Miss Kenworthy was really more
the master of herself than any one
on the evenings program. Her
presence was cool and collected: She
lost herself in what she was doing.
and turned out an effective, heart
touching peice of elocution. Her
drawl disappeared soon and she won

VIII Hold Inquest
Into Death Of Tot;
Think Woman Insane

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j., Dec. IL
An inquest into the death Of 5-year -old
James Blake. whose body was washed
ashore in Ventnor last Sunday. will be
held tomorrow night and. should the
evidence warrant, a commission Of
alienists probably will be appointed to
inquire into the mental condition of Mrs.
Esther Miller Blake. the boys mother,
VINO IS charged with his murder.
l)r. l. X. Souaer, county physician,
said today that after a thorough In
Nestigation he was convinced Mrs.
Blake is unsound mentally.
i think she is suffering from de-
lusional insanity and that she has been
mentally unsound for several years, -
the doctor said.
Prosecutor Ga skill said he would not
Press the murder charge against Mrs.
Blake. But" he added. ''if she makes
any admission we viii be compelled to
accept II, She may be the victim Of
mania on some scores, but there is
reason To believe that on other things
she Is rational"
The condition OF Mrs. Blake. who is
under police guard at the city hospital,
was somewhat improved today.
Mrs. Blake has changed her story Of
being attacked last Friday night BY
two negroes who then kidnapped her
boy. She told DIR. Souder yesterday
the kidnapping story must have been a
"delusion." She still denies that she
threw the child into the ocean from
the Ventnor pier, as alleged by the po-
lice
