School Preferred
For Better Health

"If you are under eighteen years
Of age, school is the best place fol
you" DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
Maryland State Department of
Health, advises boys and girls who
are tempted to continue with their
yacation jobs instead of returning to
school. "An immediate return of teen
ge workers to their classrooms is
;trongly recommended, and with good
'eason, by the United States Chill,
dren's Bureau.
"Now, while you are still growing
md developing physically, school life
$ far more conducive to good health
md normal physical development
han continuing with your summer
work. In school you can acquire more
-han the education and training that
will enable you to fill more i'm
portant and better paid job later. The
shorter hours and the ample oppor-
,unities to engage in competitive
'ports and other physical exercise can
ouild you up physically, just as your
studies develop your mental capaci-
ties. These activities, better suited to
2ersons Of your age and present
physical development, can lay the
foundation for better health now and
in the future
'If you are working because of
real financial necessity, not Just be-
cause you like extra spending money,
you may be able to carry part-time
job along with your school work Full
time schooling plus part-time employ
ment may be a good solution if you
are mentally and physically able to
stand up under heavy schedule. But
don't burden yourself with too much
work. Your mind and body need sleep
and recreation if they are to func-
ton efficiently, and if you are to
carry on without impairing your
health. Be sure that your school work
and your paid job leave you time for
adequate rest and time to engage in
sports or other desirable recreation.
"This is no time to subject your
young and developing body to the
strain of overwork," DR., Riley says in
conclusion, go back to school now in
order to have strong body and
trained mind in the years to come.
Remember that your Nation wants
healthy and wcll-trained men and
women, both now and in the postwar
period"

TAXES-SO WHAT?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

ID! ~ II n LoR
1t is hard to make ends meet to-
day-and often taxes spell the differ
ence between comfort and just liv-
ing. All the little luXuries that make
life so pleasant have had to go by
the board.
But when l hear complaints about
taxes, think of what l heard Nor
wegian seaman say couple of years
ago:
eve, who would not, or could
not, create security against fear
and famine among the under
privileged, have seen rich and poor
alike reduced to a restitution far
worse than that of our most
wretched slums of yesterday,
1--WE, who squabbled in our own
household over ancient prejudices
of race or religion and over petty
differences of politics or trade,
have learned that sectional bound
aries cannot isolate people to the
furious force of Nazi assault and
persecution
eve, who saw the class struggle
blind capitalist and labor to the
fury Of the gathering storm know
now that both lost in their folly
more than either had ever hoped
to gain"
This we too have learned in the
past two years. Are we going to take
that lesson to heart? Are we going
to realize that paying taxes for this
war is our one hope of not paying
tribute? That what we give up we
would lose forever if men did not
work and fight and die for the pro-
lection of our rights as free men?
We who shut our eyes to the sore
spots of the world found those plague
centers too close for comfort to our
own homes. We, who said it was none
of our business have learned that
cruelty, persecution and hatred are
like a forest fire, spreading past its
own boundaries and seeking what it
may devour.
We, who generalizc in our CONVEX
sation, setting group against group,
do not realize that this was how the
whole thing started. The despots of
today were those who felt themselves
the "have nots" Of yesterday. A
frank discussion Of common objec-
tives, a voluntary cooperation now is
far better than arbitrary regimenta-
ton later on.
like to think what one man who
was an American by choice told me.
He said, 81 am a poor man today
but am very rich man. l paid my
taxes but oh, so thankfully. Unless
you have lived where | have lived,
you do not know how rich thing it
is to be an American and able to
help America with what she has given
you"

DR.. Clinton Howard Suys
Enough Outlets Exist
Already in District

Dry leaders registered vigorous
protest before the Senate District
Committee today against bill that
would permit sale of liquor by the

The opposition forces were led by
the Rev Clinton N. Howard. secre-

already are enough liquor outlets"
in Washington and that the citys
record for consumption of spirits,
and arrests for intoXication per

part of the country.
Hits Large Imports.
DR.. Howard complained that de-
spite the war the United States is
importing 100000 gallons of
Scotch whisky from Great Britain
every year and that the American
people are spending s25O,OOO,0OO to

And by some fate. he declared.

vance Gifts Division began first,
about week ago
Success of the drive here will be
a symbol" for success Of similar
drives throughout the Nation, G..
Howland Shaw, Assistant Secretary
of State, declared to the Govern

Problems Cited.
At the same time, he said, Gov
ernment Office solicitors would have
an unusually hard time here be-
cause OF the large percentage of
out-of-town workers not vitally
interested in the welfare of the
city itself. Herbert l.. Willett, jr..
executive director of the drive. sug-
gested that solicitors emphasize to
these Government workers that
United Nations relief and the
United Service Organizations are
included in the drive as we'll as local
welfare agencies.
Giving to the United Nations, Mr..
Shaw added, is a matter of sheer,
elemental justice. Greece and some
Of the other countries have been

ably will never be called upon to
go through. Those who have not
suffered should give with generosity

in which Washington is now bad
rather than good example to the
rest of the country, Mr.. Shaw con-
tinued. He cited juvenile delin-
quency as a condition which might
De improved by support of the Dis
trict Boys Clubs and other agencies
included in the drive.
Solicitors Warned.
The underpinnings of the Capt.
tai of the Nation are now of far
greater significance than ever be-
fore Mr.. Shaw said. All of us
know that Washington is far from
an ideal community. even judged
by charitable Standards
Mr.. Willett warned Government
solicitors that many employees claim
they haye to contribute in their
home State as we'll as in Washing
ton, He has discovered by investi-
cation, he said. that few of these
people ever contribute to the drive
at all. He also asked that Govern
ment workers be urged to contribute
here where they work rather than
the outside counties in which they
may live.
The campaign will succeed" Mr..
Willett concluded, If everybody
gives more than is convenient"
Our fighting man must be sup
ported and helped" Coleman Jen-
nings. chairman of the campaign
declared to the group. Preston Del
ano, controller of the currency and
chairman Of the Government divi-
sion, added that those unable to pay
so soon after the War bond drive
can pledge now and pay in 1914.
Other speakers were Oscar Chap

was afraid He was afraid of the

felt sure that they were hiding over
there in the Green Forest. waiting
for him to come that they might

For a long time Lightfoot stood
staring over at the Green Forest
with q terrible doubt growing. You
I see he didn't know anything about
laws. He didn't know that now the
law OF men protected him. He didn't
know that the day before had been
the last day that year when the law
allowed the hunters to try to kill
him. He didn't know that that was
why Farmer Browns Boy had kept
him shut up in the cowshed. So he
was afraid to go back to the Green
Forest now that he was free. He
longed with great longing to 90
there. That was his home But he
was fraid. very much afraid. He
was afraid to 60 there and he was
afraid not to. Over there were the
friendly trees and many hiding
places in which he could keep out
Of sight. But he knew that the
hunters had found many of those
places and he feared that they might
even then be hiding in them them
selves waiting for him. Where he
was out there on the Green Meadows
near Farmer Browns barnyard
there were no hiding places and
he could easily be seen What should
he do? All the first great JOY of
his freedom was gone.
I'm afraid to go and I'm afraid
to stay said he to himself. If it
were night l would not be afraid to
90 because then there are no hunt
