along this long, straight road between
Ypres and Menin, they would say, as
! say, 1t is the German who must pay;
1t Is the German who must risk de-
struction in the effort TO put this land
again into condition for cultivation.
| believe that one condition Of the
peace treaty should be that Germany,
either as one natlon,sor proportiohately
from the several small nations that
may be formed out of the German en-
plre, should call its military classes to
the colors each year as it has done in
the past; but in place of putting guns
into the hands of these men, and train
Ing them for the purposes of war-a
war OF compassionate 1t should put
, these men into the territories she has
devastated, to reclaim the soil and to
rebuild the villages, the towns and
cities the Huns have destroyed. Let
these Germans, under guard Of Bel
gian troops, take the risk Of destruc-
ton; let them guide the plow that may
strike the unexploded shell, and let
Germany pay them the meager wages
OF the German soldier while they are
doing this.
Should Pay and Pay and Pay.
That would be the nearest thing to
an accounting that Germany can rem
der to the world, but she should pay
all that 1t is humanity possible for
people to pay who have so ruthlessiy
despoiled the world. Her people should
pay, and pay, and pay, until they have
learned beyond the shadow of a doubt
that war for the purpose Of conquest,
for the purpose Of loot, for the graft.
fcation of selfish ambitions, Is the
most Improbable business they could
possibly engage in.
And remember that the devastation
to be seen along the road from Ypres
to Menin is but an example of all the
terrible destruction to be found
throughout Belgium and northern
France and Serbia and other countries
that have been overrun by the con.
quest-seeking armies Of the Boche.
And remember, too that 1t Is not alone
the devastation that is to be paid for,
but 1t is the work and the tears and
the economic loss Of every nation that
was called into the struggle to defeat
the selfish purposes Of a selfish peo-
pie, that the world might be a decent
place In which free men might live.

 Chaperon at a Dance-'I acted as chaperon at a dance for a young woman. It happened that I had a great many invitations to dance, while she had only a few; and I have been criticised for dancing while she had to 'sit out'' the same dance. Was I right or wrong?" (Answer)-Hav- ing accepted the responsibilities of the position of chaperon, you should have stayed with your friend so long as she has no partners. One purpose of a chaperon is to spare the young women the embarrassment of sitting alone while others are dancing.

report of the work of the Day Nur- series, outlining in full the duties of the nurses, the care of the little ones, and the food given them. The nur- sery has the best equipment, with cleanliness and wholesomeness as the main features. The records of the children during their stay in the Nur- sery is carefully maintained. The lit tie folks wear the nursery aprons and abide to the rules and regulations set forth by the association. Not more than 16 babies are cared for by one nurse, and each one gets individual attention. For the maintenance of a, child at the nursery, the mother pays but ten cents a, day, while the actual cost is 50 cents a day. During the. past year over 18,GO0 children have been cared for at the Nursery.
 The Girls club work was fully dis 'cussed by Mrs. DeVer H. Warner, chairman. Over 10000 girls from to IS years of age have beer accom- modated at the club during the past year and received instruction under the supervision of Miss Helen Cooper and her assistant, Miss Evelyn Shey. At the club the girls learn the first principles of domestic duties; they are taught various domestic arts and
 
 and the benefits of companionship. Dances are held each week when the girls may bring their boy friends. All socials are conducted under a chap erone and clean, wholesome enjoy ment is encouraged.
 The Omans Camp, given by Mrs. Joel P. Omans. honorary president, is now a permanent institution of the organization and is one of the best assets to the work. Through vaca- ton time over 1,400 meals have been served and the great majority who enjoyed the happy home atmos- phere, were loath to leave the place.
 With the broad scale of work con- ducted by the Associated Charities, and the wonderful progress made in the various branches, the funds with which to carry on the vast program for the coming year, is urgently needed. The West End Day Nursery, which can accommodate only 35 children at a time, has to provide for 60 children. Through the past year over 1925 babies were cared for in that district. Sumner Simpson of the advisory committee, announced at the luncheon that the new site for promised funds for the erection of the new building has not yet been met.
 The drive has started in full swing today and the best results are ex- pected from the very capable work CTS on the various teams.

HOW DO YOU WOO LUCK

Everybody is superstitious and it is all right. At least it doesn't do any harn1-which is the same thing It is possible for one to carry his su- perstitions too far. perhaps; where superstition interferes with ones en- joyment of life, or robs him of some thing in the way of contentment, it may not be well. But it doesn't work that way very often. Generally our superstitions are trivial and do us no harm.
 To carry a coin in the pocket for luck; to comment about seeing the moon over the left shoulder; to refuse to walk under a ladder; to believe that it is bad luck to turn back; to make a wish at the appearance of the first star of the evening; to sup pose it is not well to break a mirror which it is not well to do; to give heed to the thousand and one little superstitions which are entertained by the people, does no harm what ever, says the Columbus Dispatch" They are all part of the complexities of life, if you please, and if we didn't entertain them, why, we might be worrying about something else.
