How are we doing? If there
were one question about the
War that could be asked, this is
1 . Yet the various government
al agencies concerned in enlight
ening the public have for almost
two years abstained, at great
pains, from telling us. It was
only a few weeks ago that pic
tures of American dead and
wounded were allowed to reach
publication. We had been at war
over a year before nation-wide

J. -1 . -
evils op liquor and
democrats
The liquor business is so com
pletely tied up in the hands and
operations of the Democratic
party, in both nation and state,
that when we attack the liquor
evil the bullets must of course
strike the Democrats. They are
like the Siamese Twins.
We receive $1,000,000,000 a
year in revenue from liquor, we
are very proudly informed. But
we spend $8,000,000,000 annual- j
I ly in detecting, punishing, and
attempting to cure its ills in the
form of prisons, hospitals, in
sane asylums, and orphanages.
Give us sober men and we can
give you more than revenue!
We are told that prohibition
was repealed because of the dis
respect for law that it caused.
But the liquor traffic knows no
laws, and the liquor industry
prospers at the expense of the
I school, the church, the home,
j and every legitimate institution
in our nation. Liquor more
j vicious than a rattlesnake, has
no more right in America than
does dynamite in a home!
The chief damage, however,
cannot be measured in dollars

And so It goes from one end of this
busy country to the other. There’s
nothing “queer” about working in a
tactory these days. It’s “being done,”
and by the very best people. In fact,
it s considered a privilege to rivet or
weld or run a punch press or drill,
and the girl or woman who puts on
slacks, ties her hair up in a bandanna,
and goes to it gains in prestige. When
she does have a chance to go to a
party on her day off she’s welcomed
almost as cordially as one of the boys

there will be almost as great a need

Parents Share ithe Cost
It is only fair that parents who are
working in war plants share the cost
of the care of their children while
they are at work. And the cost is by
no means great.
Many child-care centers charge
from 75 cents to a dollar a day for
the care of one child for eight or ten I
hours, including planned recreation, I
