treasurer of the Agricultural Trust
company, here, was sentenced to twen-
ty-two and one-half years solitary

National Guard of W.
Va. Again Reorga ,ized
Will Hold Special Training Camp
Summer-In July or
August.

charleston, Jan. 26s-Preliminary
arrangements are being considered
by officials of the West Virginia Ma
tional Guard for the fifteen-day per-
iiod of training, which is required by
not of Congress. The guard in this
state will go to one of the national
army camps in either July or Au-
gust. Although the members Of the
various units are former service men,
it will be the first training the reor-
gained guard in iris state will have
received
The formation Of the national
guard here was started during an in
dustrial conflict last summer. In
some sections the idea enormously
prevails that the guard was express
ly formed to wage war on labor.
This impression is for from the
truth. Had there been no troubles
in southern West Virginia, the ma
tional guard still would have been
organized. 1t was authorized by the
last West Virginia legislature which
accepted the terms Of an act of Con-
gress. The guardsmen are soldiers
! of their country and in an emer-
gency they will be called upon to de-
fend state and nation.
| The organization of the West Vir-
| ginia national guard is more than
half complete and units have been
established at all strategic points in
the state. 1t will be impossible to
/ organize companies at all of the
towns which have made requests for
units but the guard will be orga-
nized to full strength before the mid
die of the summer.
Brigadier General John H. Char
mock, appointed adjutant general by
Governor f. F. Morgan, is in charge
Of the reorganization Of the guard
Hisxchief assistant is Major T. c.
Davis, Who has very ably attended
to all details. Col. F. B. Shaw rep
resents the war department in this
state.
The national guard is composed
almost entirely of former soldiers.
Most of the members served over
seas during the war with Germany
and many units are made up largely
of former officers who have enlisted
as privates.
The training this summer will be
given to ire personnel of the guard
either in Kentucky or North Caro-
Ina. Gen. Charnock has asked that
August be allocated, in order that
many Of the men may go during
their regular vacation period.
A school Of instruction for the Off
GERS has just been concluded in
Charleston. The national guard was
highly praised by Governor Morgan,
who spoke at a dinner on the closing
day of the school.
II feel confident that, should an
emergency ever arise, the National
Guard will be fully competent to
take care of the situation" said the
ington for federal troops to preserve
law and order here. We can now
boast of one Of the best guard orga-
governor However, it is my sin
cere wish that you will never be
called to active service The time
is now passed when this state will
be Inundated by request to Wash
nizations in the country"

1.-THE Ides Of March"

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
sir-what is the meaning Of tbs "rdes
OF March" and when in the month do they
occur? g. l.. D.
Philadelphia. February 13. 1922.
The Ides was ore of the divisions Of the
month made in the ancient Roman calen.
oar. The Romans divided the month into
the Kalends. the Nones and the Ides. The
Kalends always fell upon the FIRST Of the
month in March. May. July and October
The Nones fell on the 7th and the Ides on
the 18th. and in the remaining months the
Nones on the 9Th and the Ides on the 18th
The Kalends were so named because It was
an old custom Of the college Of psissts TO
call the people together on the first Of the
month to inform them OF the festivals and
sacred days to be observed during the
month. The Nones received their name from
being the ninth day before the Ides. reckon
Ing inclusively. and the Ides from an obso-
lete verb. signifyirg to divide. because they
divided the month nearly in halves. The
best-known quotation concerning the ides
Is that from Shakespeares Julius Cae-
sar Beware the Ides OF March,"

Her Experiences as a "GirI"

20 the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Allow me a few words in regard
TO the servant problem. ] am maid
Of all work. The woman who employs
. maid should read and find something
else to talk about other than the girl
ne she calls her. When thee women get
together either on the porch or in the
home, that seems the topic they like
best to talk about. And they never
give the girl the best end of it.
Now. when the mistress goes out
she may stay all morning. If she has
q few spoiled children she expects the
maid to care for them. If the maid is
NOT in at 10 o'clock she is not respect
able. They call 3 or p. NJ. a day
Oh. There is no time to 50 to a matt
nee. OF course, IL they go at night to
. show it would be II 80 before getting
home. Now. why cant girl be out
till II 80 p. NJ. and be respectable as
well as any one else?
When the mistress speaks OF the girl
che tells of the advantages the servant
has her food and home. The woman
Of the house. and the man as we'll. are
constantly talking Of the high cost of
living, so much so that a girl is almost
afraid to eat.
The family will sit and the men will
smoke as long as they choose at dinner.
When the girl gets her food it is cold
and dry and sometimes very little left.
When a girl gets her work done down
stairs, scrubbing and all kinds Of dirty
work, she climbs up to her room. the
smallest in the house: She is expected
to clean her room. The furniture is so
poor she would not have it in her own
house. no matter how poor she might
b. She is too tired to attend to her
room and does not have the time nor
the heart to clean such a room.
There never would be a servant ques-
tion II the poor girls worked from 8 A..
N. till 10 p. NJ. with few hours a
week off and cared for the heaters, dogs
and some old repulsive woman or man
and spoiled set of children.
The people who can afford one maid
expect more waiting on than those who
can keep seven. Why not do their own
waiting when a girl does the cooking
and dirty work?
