WHAT LEONARD WOOD SAYS.

Major-General Wood, in writing
for the Metropolitan Magazine for
November has the following to say
about the Eighteenth Amendment:
"There is no question but that the
overwhelming sentiment of our peo-
pie today is in favor of prohibition,
and that those who are looking for
political assets in which to trade will
gain rather than lose by standing
squarely for the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
"There is, it is true, less activity
at present by those who are in favor
of prohibition than there was prior
to the action by the states on the
Amendment. This simply means that
patriotic and law abiding citizens
and organization support the enforce
ment of the laws of the nation and
that they have confidence that the
Government is going to see that the
Amendment is enforced. If there is
any ultimate laxity in so doing, this
same element will, eventually, take
the necessary steps to secure the en-
forcement Of the law.
"There has been a great decrease
in crime and in the number of ac-
cidents. More money is spent for ne
cessities, such as food, clothing, etc.,
and as result there has been a
marked diminution in the demands
for charity. Women and children are
better taken care of. There is much
less dissipation, and there has been
no corresponding increase in the use
of drugs, although this has been held
as sure to occur.
"From the knowledge of the eff
feet of the steady use of alcoholic
liquors we can expect, with conf
dence, great eventual Improvement
in the physical and mental quality
of the children to be born, now that
these drinks are no longer available.
We can look for greater economic
efficiency, a continued decrease in
crime, decrease in vice diseases and
better race physically and moral
ly. These are results worth while" :"

TEN REASONS WHY l WILL JOIN
THE w. C. 7. U.

lEE w. ~. i. ".
Because it is distinctly an organi-
zation for Home Protection. 1t labors
for the best interests of every home,
for the protection of every boy and
girl and the welfare of future gen.
erations.
Because it is Christian organiza-
ton uniting women of every creed
in bonds of common interest, thus
giving to each broader conceptions
of what others are doing. 1t promotes
a closer fellowship and a unity of
thought and action in behalf of uni
versal welfare which cannot be over
come by the forces of evil.
Because it means to its members
growth in Christian experience and
service, thus helping all to become
better and wiser wives and mothers.
Because it's varied lines of endeav-
or offer unlimited opportunities for
service. Each department of work
presents to every mother an appeal
along the line of community needs.
Because it had large part in the
education of public sentiment which
resulted in State and National Prohi-
bition, and is equally competent to
do as much for other needed reforms.
1t deserves my support.
Because it stands for civic right
eousness and the larger participation
of women in public affairs.
Because it fghs for the prohibi-
tion of the liquor and opium traffic
in all countries and the eradication
of drunkenness and other vices,
which so often render futile the work
of Christian missionaries in other
lands. Breweries and distilleries pro-
hibited in the United States are be-
ing installed in large numbers and
on an immense scale by United States
citizens in Mission Lands. will join
the fight to stop that.
Because the forces of unrighteous-
ness are united to set aside the 18th
Amendment to the Federal Constitu-
tion or nullify it's good effects by
non-enforcement, therefore women
to whom the integrity of the home
and the welfare of the family make
highest appeal should unite to main
tain the supremacy of law and make
total abstinence the universal habit
of the people.
Because the work for great moral
reforms cannot be done by the
church alone. 1t must be done by leg
islative and political as we'll as edu-
cational and religious methods. The
w. C. T. U. may follow each line
and is expert in all.
Because the well defined plans for
Americanization, Social Morality,

program of cooperation is:.-behalf of
world conquest for righteouslE Ess,
sompels my respect and demands my
support. To me the appeal of the W..

Woman and the Vote.

Each generation finds the duties
of woman different from those OF
the preceding generation, and the wo
man who insists on living the life
suitable to her grandmother neither
gets nor gives the most. She is born
in this day and must live in it.
Within the last few months men
have made us women their equal,
politically. We are not equal in the
sense of knowledge of political ma
chinery because it is human nature to
give little thought to those matters
in which one has small power to
move. 1t is but question of very
short time, however, before these de-
tails will be mastered. AS long as we
women hold to desire to serve hon
estly and get the best government
for the community in which we live,
we can make few mistakes.
Women look at matters quite diff
ferently from men. Moral issues
stand above those of business; and
education has nothing to do with par
ty. It is for us to read all sides OF
each question as it arises, to consider
it impartiaily and to give the cause
or person support or otherwise with
out rancor or bias as it is meritori-
sous or influences others that are:

The girl who Is unpopular is l.
miser of herself. She wants TO ge.
something from life and people.
Suppose instead she were to re
member that everybody's lonesoma
and most everybody's shy. Then
she might go about looking for
some one a little more awkward
socially than she Is herself, an
might be the good Samaritan -
bring a bit of sunshine into another
unpopular" persons life.
Is she given to doing that? She
is not. Instead. she is likely to pick
out the most popular and busy and
sought-after individual she knows
and TO strive to win his regard and
attention. He doesn't need her. He
doesn't want to be bothered with
some one he has mentally ticketed
as a lemon"
Now. II the unpopular girl. as
part of her policy of thinking about
others instead OF herself. wouldn't
try to conquer the hero, but would
give something OF kindness and
sympathy to the boy who isn't
sought after, just think what firm
friend she'd make through the graf
itude the boy would feel to some
one who lifted him out of his
slough OF despond.
And with one friend attained
more come. For the trick OF sym
psthy and understanding once
learned comes to be one OF the most
delightful forms OF self-expression.
All the unpopular girl has to do
is to try TO make some one a little
lonelier than she happy and she'll
find her own loneliness vanishing.
She won't have the slightest
cause then TO envy the more for
