Do Write Home!
By 1t. CASTINE A. DAVIS

The Adjutant Generals office in Washing
otn, D. G., is swamped with over 81, 600 pieces
of mail daily, according to the Union Postal
Clerk magazine. This amounts to 259,000
pieces per week or 100000 pieces Of mail
per month Practically all of this mail requires
answering. az
Only a comparatively small portion of this
vast amount of mail is military correspond
ence relative to administration Of the Army
in its efforts towards Victory. Instead most
of it is from frantic relatives or friends seeking
to- learn of the health, whereabouts, or wei
fare of their beloved ones. Many other letters
concern allotments, family troubles, and un-
paid bills.
Persons sorely needed in the war effort are
employed by the thousands and dollars are
wasted by the millions in replying to unneces-
sary and burdensome correspondence which
should be handled by the individual soldiers
Through his company commander, a soldier
in one. SOU unit was ordered by the War De-
partrnent to write to his father who had writ
ten to the Adjutant General asking his soldier
son s whereabouts. The War Department is
ordering military personnel concerned to write
their relatives, to handle their allotment and
domestic affairs, and to pay their bills under
the threat of discipline to the offenders. i'
Most people love to receive mail. just watch
the man who gets letter and the spirit of the
one who desn't. 1t is by benefit of letters that
absent friends and acquaintance are, in d
manner. brought together despite the distance
between them. The exchange of personal
correspondence is the Army's greatest morale
builder. Letters from relatives and friends

Ideals Of WACs Are
Reiterated
BY PVT. ADELA BERNICE CHEW

AS the old year passes and the new year
dawns, it will find members of the WAC i'm
bued with the spirit of doing bigger and bet
ter job for their country.
In the few months they have served, they
have accomplished much; but there is still room
for improvement They mean to continue
without complaint until the war is won and the
sun will take the place of the darkness which
pervades our world.
1T is their desire to release all old, unwanted
habits, opinions, faults and little prejudices
and to discard with the old year all of it's mis-
takes, shortcomings, all thoughts of failure,
unhappiness and the feeling of defeat and in
ject instead the qualities of love, tolerance,
patience and understanding that make for
complete satisfaction and harmony.
The WACs are motivated by new ideas and
ideals. They hope to make the year 1914 the
banner year for Accomplishments not yet at
tanned and inject into it beautiful and worthy
objectives.
To their officers they hope to set a goal
that will make them proud and one which will
assure Negro women who participate in the
war effort place in history as having per-
formed noble and unforgettable task.

New Year = New World
BY PVT. CECILIA GOLDSBY

Arise, 0 sleeping World
Aise, sleeping world, and greet
The New Year this glorious
With hope and trust in God reborn.
Leave fear behind And memories sweet
Store reverently for later years,
For man has spent far too much time, it seems,
Remembering past glory, dreaming idle dreams
There is time allowed for tears.
Arise, O men of destiny
The book unwritten into thine own hand
Receive, and there upon it's pages white
Thy fate, and that of unborn beings write
With bold hand for of every land
To read in after years with pride.
If future race be proud and unashamed
OF this year deeds undone, yet unproclaimed,
Must you now, and with strong will decide.
Hasten O hour of destiny!
For all mans needs limited by time.
If he creep too slowly towards the goal
Man loses sight of it, because his soul
Has perished in the black morass Of crime
Rush onl Defender of all men free.
Challenge greed hunger, death gallant knight
Upon their grounds to meet and fight
For in this year lies victory-by thine decree

"a PRAYER)

O Lord Jesus,
Thy lifeaess body, mangled and torn,
Found worthy resting place
On the bosom Of thy Virgin Mother.
Have not compelled Thee often
To dwell in my heart.
Full of sin and impurity as it was?
Create in me new heart,
That may worthily receive
Thy most sacred body in Holy Communion
And that Thou mayest remain in me
And in Thee
For all eternity.

House Vote Sought Monday
On Fire Insurance Bill

House approval will be sought
Monday by Chairman Randolph OF
the House District Committee or
the bill of Representative Anderson
Democrat, of New Mexico to place
fire insurance rates under the con-
troll of the District superintendent
of insurance.
The bill was reported favorably
recently by the District Committee
in preference to the measure passed
by the Senate. The bills differ
principally in that the Senate
measure places the test for rate ad-
justment ION the reasonableness of
profits of the insurance companies,
while the Anderson bill turns on
the reasonableness of the rates
themselves.
In urging approval of control
measure. the District Commits
sioners have declared rates now are
fixed arbitrarily by the insurance
companies and that fire losses
amount to but about 80 per cent
Of the premium dollar, the remain
der going to insurance company ex-
penses and profits.
Mr.. Randolph yesterday intro
duced a bill to exempt the Saliva
tion Army Of any and all taxes by
the District government. A similar
bill was offered in the Senate re-
Gently by Chairman Bilbo of the
Senate District Committee.

Phone Workers Form
Own Car Clubs Due ia
Irregular Hours
Auto Pool Drive to End
Monday; Results Fail
To Reach Expectations

In an attempt to solve the problem
of irregular hours of employees in
the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co., in connection with the
local OPA compulsory car sharing
drive, the management has en-
couraged the formation of groups
within the company, Edward Bliss,
assistant general manager, de-
clared today
While such a program has met
with splendid cooperation" Mr.
Bliss said the real effect of the cam
paign, as far as riders and drivers
working irregular hours are con-
cerned. could not be measured
fairly until the end of the 30-day
short ration period, beginning Mon
day, when car owners not having
full car clubs will be granted only
30-day supplemental gasoline ra-
tions.
The effort to promote car clubs
within the company, he explained,
was due to the reluctancy to be en-
tirely dependent on public transpor-
tation because of recent strikes and
|curtailment of routes. The timing
of operators, he pointed out, makes
it particularly important that they
arrive at work on time.
Outside" Pooling Difficult.
Too, he continued, it is difficult to
go outside" the company to enter
car pools, not only because of irreg-
ular hours but because employees are
continually being shifted in their
working schedule.
This problem has been partially
solved, Mr. Bliss said, through an
interchange" of riders within a
pool If rider in a car club shifts
hours with another employe who
lives in the same vicinity, similar
shift in car clubs is made.
Many of the employees, particularly
field workers, cannot obtain the re-
quired number of passengers because
they report on the job" Some
times, Mr.. Bliss explained, they will
report for a Job at the Pentagon
Building for a month, only to be
switched to the Social Security
Building for another job.
These drivers, he said, report that
prospective riders will not commit
themselves to ride on a part-time
basis, and as result are only able
to comply with OPA regulations by
picking up people standing at bus
stops and streetcar loading plat
forms on the way to the job.
Drive Far From Goal.
Meanwhile, the local drive, which
ends Monday, is still a long way
from original expectations, OPA Of
ficials said, but added that the
actual number of registrants was
much larger than their files indi-
Gated because car clubs were slow in
sending in registrations. The last
reported figure in the campaign was
5000, of which 1850 were car riders.
Officials said that the campaign
would not be extended but pointed
out that application still could be
made during the -30-day short ra-
ton period before renewals of sup
Elemental rations were stopped.
