CARTER GLASS, -- aretary ot Vt Treaeury. .7 Red Cross experienced the worst Many of these brave women lost ers of the sick and wounded. It requires courage to make this journey of thousands of miles o- verseas where German "subiua rines lurked always ready to' kill man,, woman or child, In the rearmost lines of de fense in the shops and facto ries and fields women did their share to win the war. No work was too hard to frighten them They made shell, they built air planes, they drove engines, they operated ponderous machinery, they tilled the fields. And in do ing this they not-only freed men of military service, but they took their places in the making or mu nitions 'ond supplies for the ar my and navy. Women wanted a chance to show that they were eq.ual to the tasks the war imposed, and they received it. Therewere some who doubted the wisdom of reposing 1 . . these heavy responsibilities on women, but the various depart ments of the government have not been disappointed. The ad ministration afforded women op portunities to demonstrate their usefulness as units of the gov- erraent and they met the test in everyway In the big financial and Indus trial problems which the admin- istration had to solve in conduct - ine the war. women gave notable assistance.

Elsewhere on the front in And if the Kaiser had the faint- est glimmering of the spirit of the A mighty he would quietly thmk through the famous words found in both the old and the new testaments. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy strength, and with all thy mind and thy neighbor as thy self." And no man can say that he loves God with all his heart un- less he also loves his neighbor. The Kaiser can't afford to bein - different to the opinions of men, because if he is, he .deliberately makes himself superior to God. Nor can any of the rest of us "shut ourselves up to God" and thereby shut ourselves out from our neighbor.. If any man does not love his neighbor whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he hasn't seen? The 'Kaiser might better go back and study his lesson again. He hasn't even got it letter-per fectto say. nothing about its spirit. , DALE BLAIR. Dale Blair, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

New Law Reqniris Examinatioi ef Mei Wanting License. A law enacted by the last gen eral assembly makes it practic 8 impossible for. those affected with so-called social disease to se cure marriage license in North Oarolina. Every register of deeds in the State will be expected to demand that a physician's certi ficate as to the physical fitness of the man accompany every . appli cation for a license. Before a man may obtain a li cense he must undergo a physi cal examination by a reputable physician. It will be a violation of the law for a register of deeds to grant a license to a man who does not present a physician's certificate. Under the law such a require ment is not made of the women.
