For This Issue
HEALTH
We have been urged to conserve
sugar and we have given up candy.
We have become accustomed to using
wheat substitutes. When we realized
that others needed meal- more than we
did. we were glad to divide our sup
ply. When there was a coal shortage
we got ready for the evening party
before our 5 o'clock classes. The
most of us are conserving most every
thing except our health.
It Is a temptation these changeable
days to be careless. Spring clothes,
even if they are last spring ones, are
alluring. A few days ago we wore
that thin overcoat or left our coat un
buttoned and yet were comfortable.
Last week we wore low shoes, why
dig out heavy ones today?
Spring is not here yet. Winter is
still weather dictator. When we are
given a glimpse of spring it is done
only that we may appreciate imperious
winter the better.
Colds, headaches, and other ail
ments common to students, are large
ly the result of carelessness, careless
ness which should be severely criti
cized. In the first place, there is no
time to b 111 in now. School work
is being intensified to enable an early
closing next spring. It is more dif
ficult to make up work this year than
ever before.
Moreover, no one has time to care
for "carelessly-ill" people. Doctors and
nurses are needed elsewhere.
So put on your rubbers- and button
up your coat until the violets are
here anyway.
EYES FOR THE NAVY
From the Patriotic News Service Na
tlonal Committee, of Patriotic
Societies. Washington. D. C.
The college men and women of the
United States can be of great servica
in setting the members of their faml
lies and other friends to contribute to
the navy, binoculars, spy glasses and
tplpsrones.
' The number of glasses available to
day is wholly Insufficient and the need
must be met Quickly.
That non-used pair of field glasses In
your home or the telescope on borne
college laboratory Bhelf, if promptly
given to the government may mean the
saving of a transport loaded witn sol
diers or the sinking of a sneaking sub
marine. Quick action In this matter
means everything.
All articles should be securely
tagged giving the name and address of
the donor, and forwarded by mail or
express to the Honorable Franklin D.
Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the
navy, care of naval observatory, Wash
ington, D. C, so that they may be ac
knowledged by him.
Articles not suitable for naval use
will be returned to the sender. Those
accented will be keyed, so that the
name and address of the donor, will
be Dermanently recorded at the navy
dennrtment. and everv effort will bo
made to return them, wfth added his
toric interest, at the termination of the
war. It Is, of course, Impossible to
guarantee them against damage or
loss.
As the government cannot, under the
law. accept services or material with

TO ADOPT WAR ORPHANS
OF ONE FRENCH VILLAGE
HELPING UNCLE SAM
President Wilson has had to put
aside other work for the moment, at
least long enough to give some atten
tion to the strike of the eastern ship
carpenters.
This strike is not sanctioned by the
federation of labor. It is not sanc
tioned by any of the kindred labor
organizations in shipbuilding. Under
the counsel of the federation authori
ties all of the other branches of labor
in ship construction have deferred to
the mediation board and agreed to
continue work, relying upon the fed
eral agencies to provide an equitable
adjustment of the wage question to
last during the period of the war.
But the carpenters have stubbornly
refused to submit their case to the
mediation board, which has effected
settlements of so many strike contro
versies by securing concessions from
the conflicting forces.
One hates to draw the conclusion
that seems Justified under the circum
stances. Certainly they are not dis
closing a disposition to help Uncle
Sam in a crisis of tremendous impor
tance. They are undoubtedly afford
ing tremendous comfort to his ene
mies. They are withhold lug help from
world democracy and extending It to
world autocracy.
It is comforting to read that eTensp
tlon boards at the points at which
these strikes are pending have an
nounced the determination that they
will annul the exemption granted
many of the strikers because they be
long to a trade technically useful to
the government In war Industry, and
have declared that if the carpenters
are not going to build ships they shall
go into the army.
Loyal Americans solicitous for the
country's success In the war and
themselves making sacrifices to help
16 on toward triumph will applaud this
determination of those exemptions
All of the war orphans In Mon-
treuil, France, a little town near
Paris, are to be taken care of by
students at the University of Wis
consin, according to the plans of the
Women Students' War Work coun
cil. Some twenty-one orphans have
already been provided for by stu
dents, and campaigning among sor
orities, fraternities, and dormitories
is steadily returning funds for others.
The students have the names of
the orphans they are providing for
and, besides supplying 136.50 for
mere subsistence, they are to send
letters and presents to "their chil
dren in France." Assignment of sup
port is conducted by the "Fatherless
Children of France" committee in
Madison, which Is also supplying
names of- orphans to any . person in
Wisconsin who wishes to provide Tor
a French child.
A university Christmas concert
enabled the students to raise funds
for six orphans, and boxes placed in
the women's rooming houses and
. dormatories for small contributions
netted enough money to provide for
four more. Several fraternities, sor
orities, and other campus organiza
tions are arranging to take orphans
of tfc ;ir own.
At least $1,000 for the year will be
necessary If the students are to take
care of all the children of Mon
treuil. With the money that the
French government supplies, $36.50
is needed to care for each orphan.

COLLEGE MAN AND THE
WAR
W. Gregory, Attorney General
of the United States
From the Patriotic News Service Na
tional Committee of Patriotic So
cieties, Washington, D. C.
The relationship of the college
man to this war ia almost sul generis.
It has a great point of vantage and
a great responsibility.
Fresh from the study of the course
and the instances of history, the col
lege man should be able to look
through the words and acts with
which man and nations sometimes
seek to disguise their real motives
and purposes and to see in all their
nakedness the true and real objects
at which ambitious dynasties and
nations aim. After all, the elemental
passions of greed and avarice which
drove the- Persian to his ruin at
Thermopylae are identical with those
which have influenced dynasties
since that time. Taught to detect all
these in the actions of men and na
tions In the past, observant of the
inexorable rules of cause and effect
which have always heretofore and
will always hereafter operate while
man is man, he should have no illu
sions as to the great forces which
have plunged and are holding the
world in their terrible grip.
. But this !s not all. The college
man Is fresh from his studies of the
great principles of ethics and philos
ophy which 111 us far have guided tne
world In its march toward a per
feet civilization. As he knows the
mainsDrings of human greed and
avarice, so Is he familiar with the
