Lest In the end death try to take
Even this glistening hour.
Oh. shaken flowers. Oh, shimmering trees.
Oh, sunlight white and blue.

Success of Newark City
Canning Plant
The value of business methods in
women's war work was admirably
demonstrated in the Newark city can
ning plant operated under the direc
tion of thevfood committee and the
mayor of Newark, N. J,
Early in August, 1917, Edward W.
Scudder, chairman of the food com
mittee, recommended the adoption of
a plan by which the women of New
ark might spend their unoccupied
hours at a central plant in conserving
vegetables and fruits for winter con
sumption. Women were to receive
wages at the rate of 15 cents an hour,
payable in conserved food, and they
were also given the privilege of pur
chasing the excess food at a cost in
an amount proportionate to their
hours of labor.
The mayor's committee on national
defense decided to finance the initial
costs, and secured a suitable kitchen,
rent free, in the building of the New
ark Female Charitable society. By a
special arrangement care and nourish
ment were provided for children while
their mothers were working in the
cannery.
The factory opened its doors at 8
o'clock, and the day was divided inj
three shifts, the last workers remain
ing until 10. Three hundred and
forty-five women enrolled, and each

received a time card, which was
punched for each hour's labor. The
output of the factory increased rapid
ly day by day, until a maximum of 619
jars was reached on the banner day.
The enthusiasm and earnest co
operation of the women workers were
constantly demonstrated by urgent
appeals for longer hours and an ex
tension of time. Such requests as
"May I come twice a week? I have
six children to provide for;" and
"May I have six hours," were fre
quent and earnest.
Though the plant terminated its
work with the close of the canning
season last September, it proved the
permanent value of systematic busi
ness methods in the conservation of
the nation's food.

Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Right of the Individual
Dear Miss Fairfax: la It not permtttlbt
for a man and a woman to bs sweethearts
tven though both ara Irgalljr sup rated
hs from her huahand and ha from his
lf? IVith are asking a dlvoroe. Both
parties ara clean-living by "clean-llvlng"
I mean 'straight.' Do you not think It
their right to soe earn other, with the un
derstanding "that after both are free th-y
will legally brooms man and wife?"
J. M. C.
This ta a question difficult to answer.
A'hlia a mature man and woman, with well
devsloped senses of valuss and knowledge
of what they want from life, may, indeed,
be justified In modifying certain conven
tions and Ignoring gossip, Still, If 1 tell
them to do so, soma boys and girls ara go
ing to misinterpret and apply to their own
csaes the advice I can glva only to ma
turlty. When a man and woman who have
suffered, who have been disappointed In
their Idcala of love and happiness find each
other, nature herself draws them olos
through' the strength of their reartloa from
unhapplnesa and through their happiness In
their affection for each other. If this man
and woman conduct themselves with dignity
and make their friendship fin and high
minded it will eventually compel respect, 1
think, after all,, that the whole thing de
pends on the baslo fineness of their sttl
tuds toward each other and on the calm
dignity and bravery with which they face
evil-minded gossips. Kverythlng In the
world must be gained through the sacrifice
of something else. To find their happiness
with each other this man and woman must
not sacrifice their own self-respect and eon.
sclousness ot right, but they must gladly
sacrifice acquaintance with cheap scandal
mongers who rejoice In thinking evil and
rsportlng evil.
Wait for Him.
Mlsa Falrfsi, Omaha Beet I am going to
relieve my mind somewhat by putting my
case before you. When 1 I wss engaged to a
young man for four years. TVs parted beoause
my parents objected, but tee) that I attll care
for that man. though I am In doubt If my
life would have been happy. Neat, a young
man asks for me, but I did not marry him.
perhaps beoause he was very wealthy and
that was why my parents are forever speak
ing of htm. In the meanwhile he hae mar
ried and, to bs honest, It gives me a sad
feeling when I think of It. Then I became
engaged to a fine young man, but he was
so selfish and thoughtless In lots of things
which girls admlra. For Instance, he never
remembered me on my birthday and took
so much for granted. We gradually drifted
apart and finally have parted. Now, hers
Is the question all through my school days,
one boy, now a young man fighting for his
country, has stood by me through all my
Joys and sorrows. He never believed In go
Ing to party dances and often asked me
not to go, but I saw no harm In It. And
becauae of never associating with othsr
fellows very much nor going much of any
place but church, he was termed Slsay, and
moat of my best friends term him as such.
He has always professed his lova to me
and I have told him that I do not believe
I have loved any one enough to marry
him. He believes that he can make me
love him In time and I know that he
would be a good husband and a good father.
I am now 28, he Is If. But It seems that
I must havs a horns. Should I wait Untl!
