We clambered on h: wagon once again

LONDON. Sept. K.
Miss Samilla L. Jameson, a young girl
who ha been studying art in Vienna,
has arrived in London from The Hague
penniless and alone hut in every other
respect unique among the thousands ot
American refugees who have arrived in
London during the last two months.
For Miss Jameson not only does not
demand that the American Relief Com
mittee supply her with means to reach
her home In Logansport. Ind but re
fuses to accept assistance from any
icui ce.
"I shall earn my way home or stay
here until I have done so," she said. She
earned her way from Vienna to Berlin,
from IJerlm to The Hague and from The
Hague to London.
"Ihere were enough people who really
couldn't do anything In Vienna." she
added, "without able-bodied and intel
ligent Americans taking advantage of
the wlnde-ht-arttd generosity of volun
teer committees, so I just toid them I'd
work for the committee until I had
earned enough to ge nie out of Europe.

Mrs. Rudolph Blankenburg, wife of
the Mayor of Philadelphia, has returned
to town after two months s-pent at her
ccuntry home In Pocono Pines, followed
by a fortnight In September at Atlantic
City.
On the devastation and suffering of
warfare Mrs. Blankenburg holds decid
ed views. "I think this war, as war.
is a terrible thing." said she, "and I
know that when the women of the
j world are consulted there will b6 more
i peace. It Is a stock argument of the
antt-suffraglsts that women cannot light,
but the antl-otiffraglhts overlook the
fact that It is the women who produce
the fighters. I know many mothers
who want thoir children to go and light
for their country, but I believe that
the majority ot women hate the very
Idea of warfare. When women have a
voice In the Government it will be far
more difficult to have war! Personally,
when I think of tho widows and orphans
lett I can find no excuse nor apology
for It.
"Ono of the worst features about
war." continued Mrs. Blankenburg earn
estly, "Is that the halo and hearty young
man, who, before he Is accepted by the
army authorities, must see well, and
be well, and have a line physique, Is
being killed, while the lame and the
blind and the feeble stay at home to
bo tho fathers of the next generation.
That Is the vital point In which war
fare weakens a nation so much."
Mrs. Blankenburg ha3 just given up
the vice presidency of the General Fed
eration of Women Workers, as she finds
she cannot devote tho necessary time
to it thl3 winter.
"Do you think the woman worker Is
the happiest?"

Eighteen boys nnd seventeen girls ap
plied today at the headquarters of tho
Bureau of Compulsory Education, 1522
Cherry sit eet, for legal permission to
termlnato their school careers and begin
work In tho stores or factories. Several
of tho children woro questioned as to
the causes which made them ask for
labor certificates. The nnswers were re
markable. The first applicant was a little, girl,
whose wan face Indicated she had never
known any other condition thnit poverty
and that heavy responsibilities had
cheeked her normal development.
"My father was killed In a railroad
accident," she stammered, "and ever
since that time my mother has had a
hard time of It, Sho worked last year
as a scrublady In an ofllco building, but
the doctor told her that If sho didn't
want to die and leave Us kids nil alono
she's better give Up that job. So sho
did. And now Jlmmlo, that's my oldest
brother, who always made good money
working In a silk mill, Is only working
half time, and It's up to mo to go to
work."
Edward G., a robust lad of 16, ap
parently was delighted over his prospects.
"Either I was dumb or else I was lazy,"
he confessed. "Anyway, I never was
any goodc In school. Half the time I
didn't get promoted, and my father thinks
I'd be better oft at work. My mother
thinks so, too, and my uncle says I'll
make a good mechanic. I was always
handy with nails and hammers and things
llko that. I can make furniture, and
nobody ever taught me, either.
"When anything gets broken around
the house I can fix It. So I'm going to
work as a carpenter's apprentice. I'm
going to get $1 a week and I am going
to pay a dollar board every week, too.
Maybe I ain't glad."
"TEACHER A "TYRANT."
'I am going to quit school because I
don't like my teacher,' was the answer
of a plump, snub-nosed little girl. "Sho
always had a spite on mo nnd nhe knows
It, too. When anything went wrong she
alwavs blamed It on me. She said I
didn't tell the truth and I was stupid
nnd I was always coming to school late
and I had dirty hands and that I never
studied, and, oh, you ought to hear all
the nasty things sho use to say about
me. But I don't care. I am going to
quit, and now I wonder who she's going
to pick nt. I have a Job as a cash girl."
"I should worry'," exclaimed a more
optimistic girl. "I got a Job In a rib
bon factory, and maybe they'll like me
and give me a raise and maybe they
won't. Maybe I won't like them and then
I'll quit. I'm going to take a chance. I
should worry."
"Pop says If I want spending money
I'll have to 'work for It," was the reason
given by 14-year-old Charles L. "He says
he's tired ot handing out coin to me all
the time and If I want to go to movies
I can earn the money for it. He got me
a good Job at a week In a stocking
mill."
HARD TIMES. BOY'S REASON.
"I ain't got a job yet," confided Sam
uel T , "but I'll have 1o go to work.
Hard times has struck our house nnd
my father and oldest brother are out
of work. So I guess I have a right to
earn something for the family. I'm
half glad I'm going to quit school, be
cause when I'm working I can go out
at nights, but I'm sorry that I'll have
to quit my education. They say you
can't ever amount to anything without
nn education. Anyway, the teacher gave
me some old books to keep and when 1
get time after I have a job I am going
to study up."
Henry R. had decided upon an experi
ment. "I am going to quit school for
a while, anyway." he said, "and I think
I'll go to work ns an office boy. If I
like It I'll stick and if I don't I'll go
back to school. I'm young yet nnd I
got plenty time to try things out. AVhcn
I'm a man I want to be a prize fighter,
but tho fellows tell mo I'm too young
for that yet."
All of the applicants were between the
nges ot U and 16. Children younger
than that cannot leave school and chil
dren who have attained their lth birth
day are not required to obtain labor
certificates. Remarkable differences
were noted In the height of the various
children. One boy was six feet tall and
another who stood near him. measured
but little more than the average child
of 8.

men to Fortitude.
BERLIN, Sept 2.
No small part of the fortitude with
which tho women of Germany nro bear
ing the hardships of war Is due to tho
Inspiring example of the Kalscrln Au
guitn Victoria, who la practically giving
her whole time to tho work of visltlhg
the sick and wounded soldiers,
Sho has given up her residence at
Potsdam Palace, where she usually spends
this time of the year when In town, nnd
Is living with her daughtcr-ln-law,
Princess Eltcl Frledrlch, In the quiet
little Bellevue Palace, Just oft the Tler
gartcn. Every morning a Beverclyplnln, gray
motorcar, not bearing the Imperial stand
ard which usually flutters from automo
biles occupied by members of the Im
perial family, draws up before the palace
door, and the Kalscrln steps In -with one
of her ladles In waiting. Frequently she
Is accompanied either by Crown Princess
Cecllle, Princess August Wllhelm, Prin
cess Eltel Frledrlch, or her daughter.
Princess Victoria Louise, now Duchess
of Brunswick,
FLOWERS FOR SOLDIERS
Tho car Is filled with hugo baskets of
cut flowers, Intended for distribution
among the soldiers.
The military hospitals In Berlin are
widely scattered over the largo area from
tho garrisons at Dooberltz in the north
west to hospital sheds which havo been
erected on Tempclhofcr Fold. To visit
even a part of them In the courso of ft
week would bo Impossible, but the
Kalscrln Is untiring nnd conscientiously
endeavors to visit not only every hos
pital, but every cot.
When there Is not tlmo to finish with
a hospital in the morning, she comes back
the next day, beginning hor visit where
I'. left off. In order that no single soldier
will be disappointed. No soldier falls to
receive a keepsake In the. form of a
flower, and It Is pathetic to see tho care
with which the wounded men treasure
these souvenirs of her coming.
However busy the day, she usually
finds time for a few words with every
man.
Another member of the royal family
who Is Indefatigable In helping the Red
Cros and tho work of other relief organi
zations is tho Crown Princess Cecllle,
whose Immense popularity among all
classes has been Immeasurably Increased
by her hard, self-sacrificing work In be
half of the poor and relatives of tho men
In the field.
PRINCESS BENEFICENT.
Just as tho Kalscrln has devoted her
self especially to the wounded soldiers,
tho Crown Princess has made tho father
less families the subject of her special
care, and people's kitchens opened In
various parts of Berlin owo their suc
cess In no smnll measure to the energy
with which she ha thrown herself Into
tho work.
She often calls herself for a plate of
soup nnd bead, distributed in generous
portions nt the price of 10 pfennings a
plate; not Infrequently on busy days she
has made her own midday meal upon
tho regular kitchen fare.
Following her example, many of the
richest nnd moot fashionable women of
German society have gone to work with
a will to help the relief societies, and tho
spectacle of a lady of high title, with her
sleeve rolled up, ladling out bowls of
soup for hours at a time, Is no longer a
novelty.
PRODUCE PRICES NOT
AFFECTED BY WEATHER
Housewives Told by Dealers That
Costs Have Not Kisen.
The fears of many housewives here
that the recent drought coupled with
Midden changes In weather, would so
affect tho rrops of fruits and vegetables
ns to bring about a raise in prices were
dispelled by Inquiry among the fruit and
produco dealers and growers today.
"The fruit crops," said a prominent
Dock street dealer who expressed tho
general feeling, "with the possible ex
ception of apples nnd pears, have beon
picked, and tree crops are not, as a rule,
very much affected by weather, anyway.
Peaches have been poor ever since tho
beginning of the season, but there have
been plenty of them and prices have not
been very high accordingly,
"As for vegetables, there have never
been so many of them and they have
not been so cheap for a long time. It
is true that tomatoes have been scarce
and high, but to offset this there is an
abundance of onions, cucumbers and the
like selling for less than the cost of
raising them."

To dress a child sultabtv nmt v, '
lngly requires careful thought and ptah. ! 1
nlng. There aro ono or two Btylcs, such i
as the Norfolk suit nnd tho sailor suit F'i
that year after year etlll hold their placft
as both "smart" nnd practical, -M
Children dcslro variety, However, ''
much aa their oldcrs, and they aro vrryiC
much Inclined to, rebel If they nro llm' i!
Hcd to these set styles, though certainly ' i
It Is better to bo on tho sldo of dressing)
them too plainly, rather than havo them'
appear In clothes that nro too claborata '
or ovor-trlmmcd. '
At present tho fashion magazines and 4
tho shops show many new ldens for J
dresses for little girls. These nro vorr' '
charming, and n number are both pretty
and quaint. ,
It Is nlmost criminal to dress a child
in something that -Is distasteful to her j
when there Is so much from which to i
choose. t,
Tho stripes and plaids that find such
a conspicuous place In tho costumes '
showing are usually favorites with llttlo
girls, perhaps because they are bright
nnd gay. ,.
They nro both more effcctlvo when they '
aro treated simply than In any other
manner, nnd there aro various ways ot '
using plaids nnd stripes without very t
much In the way of trimming.
The llttlo dress In tho Illustration li J
made of striped gabardine, with a dull 5
gray-blue as tho foundation color. This, '
with a darker blue strlpo and a line of l
canary color, makes a very harmonious
whole.
The long waist of the drcsH, cut on th j1
bias, fastens under the tucks In front. j
Tho sleeves arc set Into a rather long
shoulder nnd nie cut with tho stilpe run- '
nlng lengthwise. !
Tho sailor collar and turned-backed j
cuffs are finished with a narrow nccor-
dlon plaiting of a soft silk that just
matches In tone tho gray blue of ths
foundation color of tho stripe.
The skirt Is knlfe-plalted and Is set on
qulto full, nnd the little snsh Is cut on
the bias of the silk and Is fnstcnul at
tho back under n bow which bus a slllc
covcred buckle ut lta centio Instead of
a knot.
Knlfe-plalted nnd accordlon-plnltcd
skirts uie being used again to a great
extent, and In tho shops that cater to the
Juvenile trade tho plaited skirts nro used
for school frocks ns well as for other
occasions.
Striped materials, unless they nro In the
very heavy weaves, lend themselves par
ticularly well to plaiting of any kind,
but the knlfo plaiting Is particularly dc
slrnblc, ns It srems to stay In place at
least a rcasonnblo length of time.
And the short skirts that chlldien wear
seem to stay In place longer than the
full-length ones that grown-up people
wear.
