"Hard work confronts all of us for
the flint three weeks in January,"
say* it general letter from the bureau
of production to the local Keil Crows
headquarter*. "Supplies rnuat be
shipped from the chapter by the
25th in order to start overseas from
the divlslojt by Feb. I. If your
quota in not complete,' ship us much
of It as possible. If you have only
one child's dress to send, remember
thut one dress will keep one child
warm, and send it. If you have only
one woman's skirt to send, remember
thut otherwise one woman would be
without, and send It.
"We have worked In the past re-
gardless of all obstacles, permitting
our own homes and our own families
to go without the attention we had
formerly considered imperative. Lot
us bug of you to do this once more,
and In doing so remember that if it
had not been for theso very people
whom you are helping, your own son
might not be back with you again
And no one could Bay, "My boy is
home, the war is over."
"No means should be lost to im
press everyone with the dire need of
those whom we are asking you to
concentrate all your efforts upon
the first three weeks in January."
In this regard, Mrs. H. H. Kmer-
eon, director of women's work is-
sues the following statement to the
Bell County chapter:
"Wo have received 120 boys'blouse
suits which we will have ready for
distribution among the auxiliaries
and branches Saturday. The cap-
tain of the sewing room is having
goino samples made so as to simplify
the work of the auxiliaries. We will
be receiving our sewing soon, and let
me ask of all of you to stay by us
until the finish. We will not have
as much to do later, but the St. Louis
headquarters urges us to put forth a
special effort up to Jan. 25. We
have never failed and are not going
to do so now. The ladies of the Bell
bounty chapter have done splendid
vork; they are a big hearted com-
pany of women who have been
working for those who have been

Child Lnlmr Problem to Be Solved
Through Education.—Over Sli

(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Washington, Jan. 2.—"The time
has come when the whole subject of
child labor should be considered anew
with reference to education us the
most effective and profitable means
of control," Miss Julia Lathrop de-
clared today In her annual report,
as chief of the children's bureau. In
co-operation with state officials, the
bureau is preparing a plan of uniform
reporting of work certificates issued
to children.
More than 6,500,000 children have
been weighed and graded in the bu-
reau's children campaign to save at
least 100,000 babies who die from pre-
ventable disease. Public health nurses
and adequate care for mothers and
infants were urged by the bureau.
Juvenile delinquency was increased
in many cities by war conditions. Es-
pecially notable was the growth in
the number o sacfesrofrcabnnntive
the number of cases of carrying con-
cealed weapons. An increase in Im-
morality among young girls in Chi-
cago was attributed to their "adoro-
ation" for soldiers and sailors.

"THEM'S A REASON"
Food Relief In Near Fast.
New York, Jan. 2.—The American
committee for relief in the Near East
lias announced that it had received
notification from Herbert Hoover,
who Is now in Paris, that It can obtain
food supplies from the stocks which
the food administration will establish
at the eastern end of the Mediterran-
ean.
In endorsing the work of the com-
mittee, Mr. Hoover pointed out that
the United States government cannot
furnish financial aid to the peoples of
the Near East, but that they need
help. On account of the lack of re-
sponsible governments through which
the United States might act officially,
relief has to be left to public benevo-
lence.
The committee, therefore, will pur-
chase its food supplies from the stocks
to be established by Mr. Hoover and
with the co-operation of the food ad-
ministration. from the sections of the
Near East in which there is a surplus
of food.
The chief cause of starvation in the
Near East Is said to be lack of trans-
portation.

Macon, Ga., It was learned today the
New York Nationals also are consid-
ering changing their spring training
quarters from Marlin Springs to some
place in Florida. The high cost of
training at Marlin Springs, and pro-
hibitive railroad rates are said to bo
the reason for causing the Giants to
consider the change.

the tears of sorrow, he forces hi* toy

So well pleased was Griffith with
the unexampled bravery displayed by
his youngest actor, that he personally

had so much unhapplnens during j
this cursed war and we were so hap-

leave my country (province) for the]

been "refuged" In this little country,
Breton, where I have had the un-
bearable sorrow of learning of the
death of my dear husband, killed in |
Argonne, July 13, 1915. I assure you |
It is necessary to have children to!
bear a so heavy widowhood. I used j
to live in Cahdry, near Cambral j

retaken 10th of October and I have !
asked to return there notwlthstand-]
ing the sad sight which awaits me.
Those vlllianou* boches burned and
pillaged everything before their de-
parture, they are robbers. Happily
since your brave soldiers are with us
we are certain of victory. I hope j
that the French government will pay '
us for all that which those terrible
boches have taken from us, other-
wise I do not know how I shall be
able to rear my dear children. Tn
my next letter we shall continue to
make more ample acquaintance. I
hope to receive a little word from
you; It will certainly please my chil-
dren. who wished to write you at
once. The poor little ones have lost
everything by the death of their
father who loved them so much.
Happily they are not able to compre-
hend their misfortune.
