Mr. Gompérs should have known, as erganized labor fully under- stands, that the labor vote is not de- liverable. There are umions which will nét permit politics fo enter into . their affairs and the man who belongs to a labor organization has just as good right to exercise his own judgment on election day as he has to determine what other organizations he will belong to. Mr. Gompers in his fight had pre-elec- tion tidings that he would not be able to cafry out his programme. Nearly two score labor leadefs openly defied and fought his activities While the rank and file of ofganized laber voted as their ¢omscience dletated rather than as Mr. Gompers told them to. Tt is only natural that they should feel that they had a right to do their own thinking in such a matter. Likewise Mr. Gompers has a pettect right to advoeate as an individual whichever party ticket he believed in, and it was only when he undertook as the head of the great American laber organ- ization to tell thé union men how they shomld vote that lLe found labor leaders Bll over the comntry pretesting his ac- tion and working against it.

I hsve always wished to have Jimmie come to our house ever since I've been homé, but somehow or other he has never been at liberty when I have suggested it. Ethel accepted my invitation and I was really surprised to see how well she looked in civies, for I had thought her extremely plain in uniform.

The second day he drove her in his road- ster to Waukegan, where she wished to call on a friend, an old lady who, Ethel said, would bore me to tears, she felt sure. T thought, however, I would go for the drive, anyway, but just as I was put- ting on my hat Capt. Lacey called me up and asked me to go to a tournament at his country club. “We have no chance with Lucile when it comes to officers,” laughed Jimnile as I waved them a good-by. “Be sure to be back in good time for dinner,” I called, “so we won't have a scramble to get to your train, Ethed.” ‘When Capt. Lacey helped me into his car, I noticed that he looked at my smart new suit very closely. “I didn’t know you Lucile,” he said. “Oh that!” I touched the miniaturé croix de guerre, which hung on the lapel of my coat. “I just wore it for funl.” “But how wonderful to think you have It stands for something fine, I am had been decorated it. u “Oh, no' indeed ! little war worker. “Your modesty is just as becoming as the cross,” he said admiringly and I I was a very humble _————— THE GROWING CHILD By the U.

The work of the teacher will be much less difficuit if the child has been trained in hygienic habits at home and the mother will find her efforts supple- mented and her work strengthened by the ‘teaching of hygiene in the scheols, and the oversight of her child by the medical inspector and school nurse. Among the factors affecting the health of the child which are entirely conirolled by the home, sleep is importaur. Chil- dren from six to ten years shoull have about ten or eleven hours of sleep in the twenty-four, and from ten to sixtsen years the amount of sleep should be about nine hours. Every child should sleep alone as far as this is possible) in a quiet well-ventilated room. He should go to bed at such an hour as will make it possible for him to secure sufficient sleep and awaken naturally enough to get to school on time without undue hasté on the neglect of any duty he should perform before leAving home. The more out- door life a child has the better he will sleep usually. On the other hand, af heavy meal in the evening, the use of'tea or coffee, much home study in the ev- ening, obstructed breathing, earache, toothache, and similar conditions, are apt to interfere with the child’s sléep. If a sleeping porch is not available, the windows in the room should be open so that the child may have plenty of fresh air.
