\ YOUNG WRITER OF VERSES
Ruth Jones, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Alfred Jones, a junior in the
Central High School, has decided tal
ent as a writer of verses. Here are
two of 1 :r short poems which she
wrote “merely for fun” for one of her
school chums. They fell into the
hands of The Monitor man, who be
lieves the public should have them.
THE JUNIOR RED CROSS
The cavalry is an army’s arms,
Reaching far out for its goal.
The cannon and guns are an army’s
loud voice;
But the Junior Red Cross is the soul.
The infantry is an army’s legs,
Seeing’s the aeroplane’s role,
The people at home are the body
strong,
But the Junior Red Cross is the soul.
Without shells and seeds, where’s the
■ carbon?
Without carbon, what about masks?
Without masks, how can our boys over
there
Perform their miraculous tasks?
Victories great are the fruit of our
work:
The buds are the many great deeds,
Our mothers and fathers Red Cross
is the tree;
But the Junior Red Cross is the seeds.
ONE MORE “LESS”
We’ve helped Hoover make days meat
less;
We also have made the times wheat
less;
We’ve gone without sugar and candy
and jam
’Til even our Sundays are sweetless.
We always bought bonds and bought
thrift stamps
To help make our country defeatless;
We’re knitting and canning and send
ing our boys,
To make Kaiser Wilhelm conceitless.
But the whole world must be demo-!
cratic
And we need a live wire squad.
To remind Uncle Sam to “keep order
at home,
If we be respected abroad."
Our boys proved themselves to be
flinchless;
They tried to make Germany inchless;
But it is our duty to clean up at
home
And make the whole U. S. A. LYNCH
LESS.
SOLVING NEGRO PROBLEM
Hr. George E. Haynes Returns From
Trip Through South in Interest of
Better Racial Relations. (From the
Office of the Director of Negro
Economics.)
Washington, D. C.—Dr. George E.
Haynes, director of Negro economics
of the department of labor, has just
completed a trip through the southern
states, where he has been aiding in
the organization of committees to
promote closer co-operation between
the races and to stimulate among the
Negroes in particular a spirit of co
operation that will show the value of
their daily work to the nation.
Negro workers' advisory committees
have been organized in a number of
states, and in some places the organi
zation has proceeded as far as city
and county units. White men and
Negroes serve together on these com
mittees, and splendid results in meet
ing local problems of labor shortage
have already been obtained.
Among the meetings held those at
Ocala and Lakeland, Florida, were
largely attended by white residents
of those places. It was necessary to
hold some of the meetings in the open
air, because of the spread of influ
enza, and these were attended by
many white persons who came in auto
mobiles.
XMAS RESOLUTIONS
THE spirit of our Christmas might
be improved by these resolutions: ;
I will not try to adjust the beauti
ful Christmas spirit to the perverted
notions that result from pride in ap
pearances.
I will not let my appreciation be
governed by the price paid for a gift
nor will I envy the person who can
afford to give costly things.
I will not let undue worry and anx
iety cloud my Xmas. I will not hesi
tate between the giving of necessities
and the giving of luxuries.
I will make a fitness between my
gifts and my means; if I possess
abundance my Christmas shall not be
to me a burden; if I be poor it shall
not be to me a problem.
I will not make my gifts vain and
formal things; presented to certain
people because of an established cus
tom, but I shall give out of the full
ness of my heart.
I will not make my Christmas a
travesty, it shall be more simple,
more genuine; it shall reflect fitness
and fineness, good will and good
cheer. L. S. E.
ILL EFFECT OF MECHANICAL
TOYS
The great advantage of most gen
iuses was they had no advantages.
They were forced to do things for
themselves and by doing them they
learned.
The curse of mechanical genius in
its incipiency is the mechanical toy. j
A toy engine, complete and ready
to run can never permanently interest
a boy in engines. The miniature auto
mobile and motor boat surfeit the
mechanical appetite and appeal to the |
curiosity, not to the imagination.
Give a boy, with a mechanical in- i
clination, some tools, some material
and watch him "go to it.” Granting
the usual objections to a pocketknife,
it is one of the best gifts in the world
for a boy. A child must be given a
chance to do something with its own
hands, its own brains. Give it a
chance to experiment and learn by
its own mistakes and that, say what
you wall, is the only way we really
learn anything in this world.
