School Children Study About Conflict From War Catechism
A war catechism constitutes the
opening exercises In , many or me grades of the Richmond schools. From the high school to the lower grades
systematic instruction Is being given on the causes of the war. and America's oart in the great struggle.
In the high school the causes oi
the war are taught In the history and English classes. The textbook on the
war sent out by the state council oi
defense Is used in connection with
several other textbooks written by edu
cators on the meaning of the war.
A war catechism, written by an
Illlonls man, is proving an effective means of getting the real questions of
the war before the high school pupils,
as well as those of the lower grades.
Studies in government and sociol
ogy, from bulletins sent out "by the
government department of education, are being used In connection with the war stduies. The bulletins are graded for high school, elementary and
lower grade pupils.
Instruction in current events and
the war causes has been given In the
schools here for some time. The war catechism was sent out a few weeks
ago, and was immediately adopted by

THE SPRING DRIVE Did you get your invitation for The battle at the front.
Where the big guns of the kaiser tried
To pull their annual . stunt! All the neutral pencil-pushers got their invite for the fray, And the big showvs now in progress opened Up just yesterday.
All the guns along the Western front
Are booming left and right,
As the Germans try to break our line
With all their strength and might
But the Tommies and the poilus. they
Have stopped this latest push, Driving these deluded butchers back To cover in the bush.
Next we'll hear of Pershing's Sammies
Making "dead ones" of this bunch, Then old Kaiser Bill will holler, "Gott, I guess we've lost our punch By C. J. Cone.
WHY I RESUMED MY PEN
AT FOURSCORE YEARS
As I can now but read and write And still would do my widow's mite I have dedicated my rusty pen As the only available thing. I know 'tis too late tor make good Tho the pen is mightier than the sword, I will do the thing I can do best, The best I can, and leave the rest- , For those with nimble fingers, who Can sit and chat, to knit and sew, Whilst I must sit alone in my little den Scratching away with my fountain pen. Being but fourscore years and three It Is not great age that fetters me, But rather a lack of timely Fletcherizing With a little better Hooverizing. NATIONAL WAR SONG. The time has come for action, On every battle front. We know the boy s in kaikl Will have to bear the brunt Of the onslaught of the millions Of blood-thirsty Huns. And we have them on the run. Then please don't call a halt, It would surely be a 6ln, Until we unfurl "Old Glory," In the streets of Berlin.
We think of oturaged Belgium, And outraged womanhood, We think of all her sufferings. And the loss of all her blood. We think of all the lives it cost, And our hearts are filled with woe, So the drive across the Rhine and on To victory must go. For the only compensation We see through the battle din, Is to plant our glorious emblem In the streets of Berlin. War is all that Sherman said is was, Hut we must never stop, Until every warrior at the front Has gone "Over the top;" For we can never reach the goal Of peace on earth, good will to men, Until we sing our national anthem In the city of Berlin.

Like the sun breaking through the
clouds of a dark and lowering sky,
comes a message to the heart cast
down with doubt and dismay at the uncertainties the future appears to
hold. .
"The Lord is My Light" Is a hymn
of trust that McCormack, on a new Victrola Record, delivers with passionate sincerity. Granting that the war has brought untold misery, it is a well known fact that in France and England there has been a great renewal of
religious faith. Torn with anguish and spent with grief that no human agency can palliate, men are turning
again to the "God of our Fathers, known of old." and In the light of that
faith are finding new courage to bear
whatever suffering may yet be theirs.
Apart from its message the song is
unusually good music melodious in style, gloriously rich in harmony and intensely dramatio in feeling; and Mc
Cormack sings it with a noticeable display of inspired confidence and burning earnestness.
"A Little Bit o' Honey" is the latest
composition from the pen of Carrie
Jacobs-Bond which Evan Williams has
made Imperishable by singing it for
Victrola Records. The song transports you to a log cabin 'way down South, where a coal-black pickaninny has arrived in state with "a little turn-up
nose, and a little bunch o' wool upon
yo' head."
The marvelous soprano of Claudia
Muzio is heard in two Pathe recordings of "Ritorna vlncitor," Parts I and II.
Singing in Italian, the language of
her own country, she reaches the pin
nacle of dramatic expression in these two numbers.
The Pathe April List includes one of
the most remarkable records ever introduced to the public: "The Gold Label Demonstration Record." Six
preeminent artists of Parisian Opera Mile. Gall, Mme. Goulancourt, Mme.
Affre, Journet, Tirmont and Boyer
with Grand Opera Chorus and Orches
tra present two selections in French from Gounod's "Romeo et Juliet."
Never before has any such recording
been made for its retail selling price.
Tito Schipa, the celebrated tenor, contributes two operatic arias, one
from Leoncavallo's "Zaza" and another
from Puccini's "La Tosca." Paul Alt-
house, American tenor, sings two mag
nificent sacred arias: "In Native
Worth," Hadyn's "Creation" and
"Cuius anlmam," Rossinis "Stabat
Mater."
Two new Gospel Hymns, "Softly and Tenderly" and "Saved by Grace," are
sung by William Wheeler, tenor.

Says we can't help but look better and feel better after an Inside bath.
- HONOLULU. T. II., March 29. The fiery pit of Halemaumau in which, up to Sunday night, February 24, swirled and groaned the eternal volcanic fires of Kilauea, has become formidable, literally lifting the molten , lava and emptying it in all directions over the immense crater. ;'
The man who praises himself i3 irtever popular with the people who .think h? inisiht ho n-"M"!rthfm.
To look one's best and feel one's best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous day's waste, sour fermentations and poisonous toxins before it is absorbed into the blood. Just as coal when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible material Jn the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the alimentary organs a certain amount of indigestible material, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are intended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body. If you want to see the glow of healthy bloom In you cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of washing the waste material and toxins from the stomach,, liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. . Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid complexion, also those who wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phosphated hot water drinking. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs very little at the drug store but It sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on tbe inside organs. , We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more important than outside cleanliness, because the "skin pores do not absorb Impurities into the blood, while the bowpl pores do.

CHEERFULNESS I would - give a million dollars to have Charlie Schwab's smile," J. Ogden Armour, head of the $500,000,000 a year packing business, said. If a smile, can be worth a million, why cultivate a frown? - "It is the voice with a smile that wins," says Theodore N. Vail, telephone king. And he thinks it so important that his company spends thousands of dollars teaching telephone operators to smile with their voices. ' J The Lackawanna Railroad not long ago dismissed . a superintendent solely because he could not handle men harmoniously. He didn't know the meaning of CHEERFULNESS. At Conkey's .we try to cultivate Cheerfulness. .We realize that nobody wants to do business with a grouch. Hence the "WE Thank You. Cal Again" smile on our faces, likewise in our voices. Cheerfulness Is the parent of competency. It is the brother of optimism. It helps you to get more, and enables you to give more. It makes for good digestion. It is an asset, both of business and body. Cheerfulness costs nothing, yet it is beyond price. Cultivate Cheerfulness! Once Again WE Thank You.
