To Create the Great New Tradition
of Citizenship Day on July 4.
By MRS. T..G. WINTER, Pres't Gen. Fed. of Women's Clubs
1 dm apiienling to the 2,500,000 club women of
the General Federation of Womon'd Clubs to give ac
tive nnd. enthusiastic co-operation to a plan 'of, our de
partmonl of American citizenship n plan ilolinite,
concrete, deeply appealing and capable of being made
a tremendous agency for creating the spirit'of Ameri
can citizenship, which is a far greater thing than the
American voter or the American politician.
Jn every little town and hamlet, in every big city,
let the Club women of this federation start a move
ment to, mnka the Fourth of July "Citizenship Dav."
Xo mutter what other celebrations arc listed, let a part of that day that
commemorates to time whei?t American citizenship became an actuality in
the world, be given to a noble welcome extended by the whole community
to the boys and girls wlioHave come of age during the year and to the
foreign-bom who have become citizens. Both these groups should be in
cluded and recognized at the 'same time, thus intensifying in the minds
of both the spiritual significance of the occasion.
There should be a profession and flags (lags of all the peoples in
cluded, which should, at the appropriate moment, be hawed before the
Stars and Stripes; there should be music for your feet to nuircluby; there
should be wise words utteredvon the meaning'of citizenship in this great
est of all democracies; theresliould be a proud welcome given by digni
taries of the community in the presence of massed crowds of relatives;
and the generation a little 'older, the young men who have fought for the
laud, should be there to point, the onward hand to the newer Americans.
This is much more than a show and a procession. It is n symbol
with all the tremendous significance that symbols have in human under
standing, of both tie meaning and the continuity of America. And no
greater symbol could bo given to our country, our young people, our new
citizens and perhaps to us older citizens, lest we forget than to create
this great new tradition of Citizenship Day.

him a carpet beater to use on the

Anil two days later, when that was
done satisfactorily, she told him tn

the cellar and polish the furniture.
And on the remaining days of his
vacation he was bullied into painting
the garden fence, mowing the lawn,
digging up and planting again all the
plants and Mowers and laying a ce

Late In the afternoon of his last

A few persons have been surmised,
that sodium fluoride, used for killing
lice, does not get rid of the mites
as well. Were mites biting insects
they would ho poisoned by eating It.
However, since they eat by pushing
their mouth parts into the skin and
sucking their food, they must be
killed by some material coming in
contact with them. This is nut a
practical thing to do while on the
hens, because of injury to them.
This, nevertheless, Is easily overcome
