HOLIDAY FOR
P NTINGOF
FIRSTGARDEN
CHICAGO, March 8.—A national
holiday in honor of the soldiers of
the soil was advocated here today by
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of
the national war garden commission
of Washington in an address before
the School Garden Association of
America, which it meeting in connec
tion with the national superintendents
convention.
“What more fitting,” said Mr. Pack,
“than to have a day set aside in the
spring on which all of us will get out
of doors and into the sunshine for the
first garden planting of the year? On
the last Sunday in March we will have
an extra hour of daylight, which will
mean millions of dollars in increased
home food production. Think what it
would mean if on the first Wednes
day in April every year the millions
of your school garden army marched
out into the furrows of freedom in the
war for food ?
“The war for food is always with
_ XI„ nn/1 hnrwi ffrPtl'lflP I
we have seen our heroes set up the
frontiers of freedom. How are those
frontiers to be maintained? Only by
working the furrows of freedom. The
war for food involves many things.
We hear much of discontent and of
this theory and that theory but the
human race must have food and not
theory. It is often much harder to
hold a position gained in battle than
to capture that position. The army
and the navy of the greatest country
in the world have answered the call
made upon them. What of the call of
unrest that follows war?
“In the school garden army we have
the making of the finest community
spirit—the spirit of one flag and one
language, the world has ever seen.
What are we going to do with it? In
the garden we have the making of the
better and healthier citizen—the crea
tion of a longing for a bit of land for
the individual—the creation of a de
sire for the home. With the spirit
implanted in those who will come
after us we will have set this nation
upon a rock that none can shake
the great American home.
"A nation is no stronger than its
agricultural wealth. We see proof of
this in the glorious fighting of the
pollu who made good when they said
‘they shall not pass.’ The pollu came
from the land and it was for that land
that he fought. We see proof of this
again when the British Tommy ans
wered the call of Marshal Haig who
said ‘we stand with our backs to the
wall.’ We see proof of this again
when our own marines wont into
Chateau Thierry and on into Belleau
Wood and but a handful returned.
The marine was fighting for that place
he called home. He was fighting to
On the other hand look at Russia. The
answer to the present condition is
that the peasant knows nothing of
land which he can call his home.
“The garden does other things and
one of the most important of these is
that the garden paths lead directly to
the bank windows and the Christmas
saving clubs. The gardener treads
those paths every week. The bank
knows him for a good customer and
that means a good citizen, one who is
not racing off after red flags and soap
box oratory.
"We are in the midst of much dis
cussion as to proper memorials for
the men who gave their lives in order
that autocracy might be done away

the memorial gardens? What more
fitting memorial to these men who
gave their lives than that a better citi
zenship, better home, a better coun
try be born of the wreck strewn bat
tlefields on which they died? That is
the sort of a monument to erect to
them—a monument m which their
which their children Shall be the
cornerstone. By all means let us mark
this continued building for better
citizenship with a national holiday as
a sign to the world that the frontiers
of freedom will be maintained.
QUEEN’S NEEDLEWORK
GUILD TO BE CLOSED
LONDON, Feb. 22 (by mail).—Queen
Mary’s Needlework Guild, which has
done such good work during the war,
is to be closed, with the exception of
the orthopedic branches. In making
this announcement Lady Lawley says:'
“Her majesty desires /me to take this
opportunity of making known her high
appreciation of the wonderful spirit
In which her branches throughout the
empire have responded to her appeal
in behalf of the sick and wounded. The
record of the work done is one of
which the queen and the guild may
well be proud."
DOMESTICS IN
ENGLAND ARE
NOWSCARCE
LONDON, Feb. 23 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Time was
when Americans, harassed by the
servant problem, came to England to
live. Hera they could keep house in
peace and sing the virtues of English
domestics, making comparisons based
on experience in the United States
with servants of every race and color.
They declared that from housekeeper
and cook-general to nurse and be
tween-maid the English serving women
had no peers—they worked harder,
better, longer hours, and with more
willingness and for less pay than serv
ants in any other part of the world.
Now many of these Americans are
returning home. They have not modi
fied their notions about English serv
ants, but they simply cannot hire them
any more. England, as a result of1 the
war, is having her own servaint prob
lem.
The trouble began when the servant
girls flocked into war work. House
holders were greatly inconvenienced
and and large nuihbers closed up their
dwellings and moved into hotels.
Others did their own work, expecting
the servants would return when the
war ended. But the fighting has been
over a long time now, scores of muni
tion factories have closed, and still
the girls have not returned to their
old employment. Whether they ever
will return is a favorAe subject of
gloomy speculation at many a tea
table.
Of the hundreds of thousands of
servant girls that responded to the
call for patriotic service very few, ac
cording to employment agencies, are
going back to domestic work. For
thirteen weeks they have the $4.75 a
week provided by the government un
til they find other employment, but
unless the girls have homes to go to,
that is scarcely enough to shelter and
feed them.
Many with aptitude and skill will
continue at factory work, taking the
places of men killed or crippled in the
war. Thousands driven by restless
ness will emigrate, it is believed, to
America and to the dominions to seek
industrial employment not available
to them here. Other thosuand3 will
marry soldiers when the army is de
mobilized.
The majority, however, in the opin
ion of employment agency officials,
will sooner or later have to return to
domestic service.
But, according to a woman spokes
man for the girls, it was the taste of
factory life freedom even more than
novelty of high wages that is the chief
cause of their present discontent. She
cited as typical the conditions under
which chambermaid in a big London
hotel work.
“They receive,” she said, “thirteen
shillings a week for a working day of
from thirteen to fifteen hours. Once
a week they are allowed off from 4
o’clock in the afternoon until 10:30
at night, alternating Sundays from 2
p. m-. until 10:30, and they are given
a full day off once a month.”
Efforts are being made, it is said,
to form a chambermaids’ union for the
purpose of securing shorter hours, bet
ter food and working conditions and
more pay.
FRANCE LAUNCHES
FIRST CONCRETE SHIP
PARIS, Feb. 23 (by mail).—The
Comafran I, which has just been
launched on the Seine, is the first of
what is expected to be a large fleet of
cement ships to be in France this
spring, mainly to carry coal from Eng
land. These ships are of a standard
type of about 1,000 tons displacement
and the French are proud of the fact
that all the material used in the con
struction of this first unit of their new
cement fleet was produced in France.
The Comafran I is French built
throughout down to the smallest de
tail. The steel used in the construc
tion framework was scrap metal from
the battlefields.
The vessel was launched stem first,
said to be the first time this has been
accomplished with a cement ship of
this tonnage. Many French shipbuild
ing experts had expressed fears of
mishaps, but nothing untoward oc
curred.
