An italian farmer-boy whose
home is in Connecticut came into
the League several days ago. He
only wanted a, job. He had been
mustered out four days previously
and had spent his money for new
clothes. saving enough for a ticket
home. His suitcase with the money
and clothes was stolen, and he was
stranded here. We directed him TO
the unemployment bureau. but he
would not accept FIVE cents carfare.

Buses Bread by the people of South Bend.
Buses Bread is made good as bread can he made.
Folks often tell of its goodness and wholeSOneneSS
But at that we might suspect some of them OF mere
friendly boosting it not for the fact that the de-

education of who served in fighting forces during
the In his will he said:
1t is my purpose in this manner to express my
gratitude to- and in slight degree to reward, those
who ventured the supreme sacrifice of life for this
country and mankind in this war for the liberty of the
world and also to aid in keeping alive for generations
to the spirit of unselfsh and patriotic devotion
which these displayed and without which free
government can long endure.
Three and half millions will do much toward edu-
eating Mr. Noyess act entities him to place in the
hearts of all fighting men.
Educating youths to take their places in life better
equipped for the struggle is great and important work

Beatrice Fairfax Writes Problems Pitfalls Workers
Especially for Washington Women

raised girl Of today should do
make my clothes, play piano, sing,
dance. but am not crazy over this,
as 1 prefer a quiet evening at
home instead of a dance hall; enjoy
athletic sports, picnics, horseback
riding. etc, and last, but not least,
can prepare meals that would tempt
anyone, but there doesn't seem to
be one that really knows the value
OF these accomplishments.
1 had a very dear friend thirty
three years old. ten years my senior,
and he was one Of the unfortunate
war victims. He appreciated me for
what I was and not for the type Of
clothes I wore, and since his death
I have failed to find one who will
in any way compare with him. I
don't think that the girl who will
make a good wife will spend every
cent she gets on clothes. But the
one who is willing to lend a hand
wherever it is necessary and yet
this type Of girl doesn't seem to at
tract the young male set Of today.
Many an evening do I spend on
the back or front porch Of my home
alone, because I do not compare in
style or expensive dressing with the
other girls. This isn't because 1
don't have the neat and dainty
gowns that a girl should have
but I have the sensible styles and I
find the result is as a rule loneli-
ness.
Why is this so often the fact?
Even on the street car which girl
is it that gets a seat-nine out Of
ten il is the one who has attended
the matinee and not the girl who
has worked all day. Is this not so?
Can you offer any reason other than
what l have stated above.
DISAPPOINTED,
I am very glad to publish such
a letter as yours, for I am confident
it will convince a few men like the
brave friend of yours who made the
supreme sacrifice" that true wom-
anly girls like you ARE to be
found. I grant you that, for an
evenings amusement, the butter
fly. the firt, the girl who has no
objection to the 10y ride" may
have her appeal, but the game is
not worth the candle. One thing
should answer your questions and
convince you that such girls do not
win the love Of the worthwhile
men. 1t is that not one of the men
who delight in the butterflies and
their gauZy wings would allow his
sister or his sweetheart to pattern
herself after the most brilliant Of
them. And why? For he respects
and would have all men respect
his own womankind, and, while he
is willing to flirt with the butter
fly, he rarely marries her.
There are just as many fine men
who do appreciate the qualities and
talents with which you seem bless
ed and are longing to know just
the type of girl you are, and yet
their problem is yours, also. Fate
and Circumstances seem to keep
you apart, and / fear only Fate and
Circumstances will have the power
to bring you togethSR.

How About the Teeth?

Here is an editorial by Dean Eugene H. Smith, of
Harvard University:

of all scientific in dentistry medicine. Leading
medical scientists have proclaimed that diseases of the
teeth the of great many of the ills of

mouth will eliminate important foci of infection at

cally proven, through a series of demonstrations in
various parts of the country, that eighty per cent of
dental decay be prevented through the systematic
teaching and practice of oral prophylaxis.

hygiene in the Bridgeport schools shows that the
Der of retarded pupils in the various grades has been
lessened to marked degree, and that the grades of
scholarships have been increased

Question.

better to repeal laws requiring street
| railways to pay taxes on gross re-
ceipts, costs Of special policemen. and
paving charges, because, as he stated
/ in the long run the car rider paid in
| the price OF fare for these things. and
| il was unfair TO subject the car rider
indirectly to the payment thereof.
We have some reluctance in bring
| ing this matter to you. but we haven't
the slightest doubt that it was the in
tentiOn OF your paper to CORRECTLY
quote Secretary Baker, and that you
would not desire any misstatements
made upon the subject affecting the
street car industry, particularly state
ments made before a commission an
pointed by the President to inquire
into present conditions and the meas
ures OF relief that might be afforded
the industry, when so many COM
panies are threatened with dire disas-
ter.

and quoting further, that ''the zone

We have before US a transcript Of
the testimony Of Secretary Baker
(which we Will place at your disposal
il you so desiTe). which, upon inspec-
tion, we find shows that the state
ments alluded 10 were not made as
quoted. The Secretary did specifically
refer at times to conditions in Cleve-
land, but at no time referred speci-
fically to conditions in Washington.
Secretary Baker substantially stat
ed, in answer to an inquiry in ref
erence TO a charge Of cents for
fare. that he believed there was
something psychological in such a
charge; that he meant by this that
this should be the unit charge Of fare,
and that there might be instances
where a rider was getting too much
now for the unit charge, and the
hauls should be cut down: that he
was a believer in the zone system,
that the rider should pay for what he
gets. and that il was better TO charge
an initial Scent fare where necessary
for a certain length OF ride within a
first zone, and another unit charge
sufficient to cover the cost Of carry
ing the rider TO other zone or zones,
where justified.
