I AVOID STARTING A FIRE. I
"I have ridden over the range near Huntsville and. in my exper
ience, I have never seen the vegetation so dry. Mr. Editor, will you
do this for the stockgTowers: When those who go out in the moun
tains to be careful with matches."
This was part of a conversation with a distinguished citizen, who
further said all that Huntsville country will be a mass of flames, if
carelessness allows a fire to start in the dry grass. Even the weeds,
he said, were material for a big blaze.
Campers and hunters should regard these words of caution, as a
disastrous loss of property and even loss of life may follow one
thougtless act in the use of fire.
I GETTING RID OF THE WEEVIL.
Every pest has its enemy. Even the alfalfa weevil ,that destructive
insect which was imported from Italy in 1905, is beginning to be
attacked by its parasite.
At Pleasant View, in this county, a little black fly has appeared
which lays its eggs in the larvae of the weevil and destroys the same.
The fly multiplies many times faster than the weevil and should al
most wipe out the alfalfa pest in a few years.
This is good news for alfalfa growers who have suffered heavy
losses from the bug which was brought here from a Mediterranean
port.
The weevil also is being kept down by spraying with arsenate of
lead, and, in large fields, this method of attack is quite successful.
I KEEP AT THE WORK.
With committees at work on water storage, an early report is to
be expected.
The task should be pursued with the same energy that would be
given to a war problem.
While the farmers and all concerned are deeply impressed with the
the necessity of doing something to overcome the misfortune shich
is now upon the agricultural districts, no time should be lost in reach
ing a decision and formulating a plan of action.
Delay is as dangerous to the success of this undertaking as pro
crastination is ruinous of individual enterprise.
There should be daily conferences until tangible results are obtained.
IFOR THE WORKING
CLASSES.
The Jews of the United States are
lending their influence to the better
ing of the condition of the working
classes. Lately, at the central confer
rnce of American Rabbis a demand
was made for universal workmen's
health insurance laws, also adequate
compensation for industrial accidents
nnd occupational disease--; adequate,
I
permanent national jyBtem of public
employment bureaus, the right to or-I
ganizc, a minimum wage; eight hour
day, abolition of child labor; and spe
cial provisions for safety, health, and
housing of industrial work n
"The next few decades." ray? the
conference, "will have as their chiel :
concern the rectification of social and
economic evils. The world will busy
itself not only with the establishment
of political, but also with the achieve- I
ment of industrial democracy through
social Justice The ideal of social jus
tlce has always been an integral par i
of Judaism."
CHILDREN MADE BLIND.
This story comes from a relief com
mittee operating in Poland;
I In the territory where the Polish j
armies are fighting the Bolshevists,
and in the various large cities of Po- j
land, there are thousands of children j
who cannot see at all in the sunlight.
All day long, and until twilight
comes to relieve them, they are afflict- j
ed by a constant twitching of the eye
lids. Their disease, which broke out
during the period of the German occu
pation, was Hained "hen sickness" b
the German doctors. It was induced
by starvation, resulting when malnu
trition had lasted so long that it not
only affected the bones of the chil
dron, but prevented the development
of the muscles of their eyes.
The disease oecomes total blindness,
In aggraated cases. Its only cure Is
proper nourishment. But it takes a
long time to overcome because of the
terrible condition in which the chil
dren of Poland are loda
Anything more pitiable than the
eight of a large group of link- children
unable to see. and not understanding
their pain, cannot bo Imagined In
Vilna, one of the committee visit d an
Institution where American aid had al
ready come, through the .Vmerican
Jewlsh relief committee The children
were in the courtyard, behind the hos
pital. They were not running about
and playing, as normal children do,
but lying still on mats on the ground.
There was no talking or laughing
among them They were the only al
together silent group of children the
investigator had ever seen As he en
tered, with the doctor in charge of the
institution, the children turned their
! eyes upon the two. Then it was no-
j uceable that they were entirely tin-
able to control the action of their eye
j lids. Some of them were abl to keep
their eyes open for only a few seconds
H at a time. Others, already partly
cured, were in a less eerious condi
K The arrival of food from lbs L'rulevJ
States had checked the disease. A
total cure can be effected in most
cases, if America continues to send
help to the t lIdren.
Another tragic sight was that of
hundreds ol child-beggars, who crept
like infants through the streets of
Warsaw, Vllna, and other large cities,
because they had not the strength to
tand upright
Americans are of the opinion they
have been in close touch with the
worst features of the- groat war, but
the horrors which afflicted little chil
dren, now being disclosed, point to (he
fact that years must elapse before
the whole story of the suffering en
dured by European peopic caught be
tween the contending armies Is related

brutality of war.
The saddest feature of the conflict
has been the mistreatment of children
and women.

French Brides Are
Cared For by the
American Y. W. C. A.
' ST. NAZAIRE. France. June 19
French brides of American soldiers on
their way from France to their new
homes ln America are entertained ln
the hostess house here until they and
their husbands are ready to go on
board a steamer. Thus far, 81 of these
newlv-made American wives have been
taken car of ln this temporary homo
for brides
The work of caring for them Is con
ducted by the oung Women's Chris
tian association with five workers uu
der the charge of Miss Mary Fay. TIkj
house was opened lay 1, and is lo
cated in a grove of trees outside the
limits of the men's camp.
The wives, many of whom had never
been more than twenty miles from
their homes before, are mot at the
staUon with an automobile and taken
to tho hostess house, where they are
given a thorough physical inspection,
teeth examined and ;m nec ;.-.- in
work to be done on them is here done.
Alter this they are given the oppor
tunity to bathe, change their clothins
and are assigned to bed in one of the
spick and span dormitories Their
life from then on until the Ume they
board the boat is chiefly occupied in
learning the English language, sewing,
and exercises and recreations of vari
ous kinds m the mornings and with
their husbands In the afternoon
Ten days is the average time each
girl spends in this camp. From n She
is taken directly to the boat where
the again meets her husband, be hav
ing been transferred from his organ
ization to a rasTlSl compan;. SQ b
ihey can take the same boat back..
Tha' the government is dolns i
thing in lis power to make Uoir lif
while in the army a happy on I ery
evident.
A month ago it was estimated that
accommodations for fifty-five would be
ample for this camp. That was
than a month ago. Today ihere ire
accommodations for one hundr d
twenty and more barracks are beua
built. The 15th cavalry alone brought
fiftv-ono newly married men and their
wives. And now that the service of
supply troops are going through here
fast, it is suspected that the hostess
liouse may be swamped, for these
troops, unlike the combat troops, have
been stationed in one place most of
iheir time over here and have had
the opportunity to win and wed dainty
French girls.

Morgan Makes Gift
Of Stained Glass
To London Museum
LONDON, June 20 The gift by J p.
Morgan of New York to the Victoria
and Albert museum of the collection
of stained glass, which occupied five
windows of one of the corridors,
caused widespread satisfaction here.
The collection is of peculiar Inter
est to students and designers. The
earliest items of the glass are four
small panels of French glass of tho
latter part of the 13th century. Two
of these represent scenes from the
"Temptation in the Wilderness." The
subjects of the other panels, evidently
contemporary', are the "Miracle of tlie
Feeding of the Five Thousand" and
a scene from the life of St Nicholas.
The rest is entirely of German and
Smiss origin, and provides material
for studying the distinctive develop
ments of art, particularly in the Rhine
valley, towards the close of the Gothic
period and during the Renaissance.
