Out of School Hours One of the most perplexing problems which a parent has to solve pertains to the hours which his child spends out of the school. Two alternatives present themselves: One, to permit the child to use all this time in healthy recreation; the other to use part of this time in occupational pursuits. Parents are divided sharply in their opinion as to these two courses. The one side argues that the hours spent in the school cause so much .fatigue that the child requires all the extra time in healthful recreation. They also say that the health of the boy or girl breaks under the strain of going to school and working after school hours. The "other side argues that the school courses are so scientifically arranged that the child is not unnecessarily tired when the last gong rings and can without injury to itself, spend an hour 1 or, so in work. They say that the healthf ulness of the work and the time required, as well as a consideration of the studies taken by the child in school are factors which every intelligent parent must first ponder before he permits the child to indulge in work outside of school hours. Often, they say, the work is so light to the active boy that he takes just as much enjoyment and pleasure in it, as he does in his school work, so that a double purpose is served. The theoretical i

part of the school work is supplemented by practical application in the business or industrial world. Many young people by economizing their time have found that they have several hours free, even after they have indulged in recreation, and

they apply these, for instance, in home duties or

outside work. Many of these boys and girls seem to believe in the observation of Cicero: "Who shall reproach or chide me if that time which others give to rest of mind or to pleasure, banquets, dice and ball, I give to these my chosen pursuits." Many young persons, sad to say, are forced under economic conditions to work after school in order to obtain enough money for education. They are a class by themselves, for their work is that of necessity. It would be an interesting study to discover how many young men in Richmond, who have become eminently successful later in life, were forced in boyhood years to work hard after school and on Saturdays to obtain the money necessary for books and for clothing to fight their way through school to success. Many of our most illustrious men belong to that class. Love for education made them surmount every difficulty, and the training and the character developed under this pressure, undeniably were important factors in making them truly great. Boys and girls develop under the discipline of having responsibility thrust upon them. They learn habits of attention, of accuracy, of promptness, of attending to details and of valuing both time and money, which are required by the business world. Every parent should give this question considerable study and be guided, not so much by sentiment, as by a consideration of the best interests of the child. No one can dictate to a parent or ought to try to inflence a parent's decision on matters so delicate and so important as the rearing of a child. This whole question is one of personal responsibility which the parent must solve for himself.

Rickenbacker's Observations Captain Rickenbacker, the greatest American ace, says : "Personally I feel I shall take a greater interest in the country and who is going to run it. I shall want to know whether this man or that is best fitted to hold a position of trust in the government, and this opportunity I have found among thousands who have been fighting for it." This observation of Rickenbacker's will be found to express the sentiments of many thousands of our boys who have risked their lives to make the world safe for democracy. Military life develops a patriotism that asserts itself in practical political affairs. We see this in the active part which the veterans of the Civil War have taken in political affairs for many years. The logical -result of the risks which soldiers take to protect a government and safeguard its institutions is that they become keenly interested in the kind of men to whom, the voters trust the administration of its affairs. A former soldier has a sense jpf proprietorship in the government and he has a sense of personal responsibility which the average civilian either does not feel or does not exercise.

We may expect to find a healthy tone in our political life as a result, of the military service

which millions of our young men have seen at home and abroad. They will make their presence felt in both big parties and will scrutinize carefully the candidates that are nominated for election to the legislative, judicial and executive posts of the nation.

Make Repairs Now Owing to the high price of materials during the war period, very little repairs were made to property. Owners deferred them until a more propitious season. The time for making repairs is at hand, because deterioration to preperty has set in, and if the carpenter, painter, plumber and electrician are not called in, the property will

depreciate to such a state that instead of re

pairs, almost a total replacement will be in order. A twofold purpose will be served by making repairs now: First, it will give work to the unemployed; secondly, it will prove the worth of the old' adage which might be applied, "A stitch in time saves nine." Builders urge the making of repairs now from the standpoint of efficiency. Every property owner will do well to take advantage of this opportunity. ,

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

POSITION OF HINES SEEMS INCONSISTENT. Harvey's Weekly. It is gratifying to have Mr. Hines, the new DirectorGeneral of Railroads, declare himself to be unequivocally opposed to government ownership. Yet we cannot, to our regret, regard his position as. altogether logical. He opposes government ownership, yet he favors extension of government control for five years, or else immediate return of the roads to their owners. Surely he must realize that the former would be a long and almost irrevocable step toward the very thing which he deprecates, and that the latter would be an act of gross injustice, calculated to embarrass the roads and to drive them to government ownership as a last desperate recourse.

The Effects of War and Pestilence

From the Independent. IN the good old days of the lyceum when the American American people took pleasure in endless discussion of indeterminable problems ono of the favorite questions wrb: "Resolved, that war is a greater scourge of humanity than pestilence." If such debates were still in vogue the negative could get some useful data from the present, when the two scourges have, as often before, afflicted mankind simultaneously. The British medical authorities estimate that the combined influenza and pneumonia epidemic has caused the death of 6,000,000 persons in twelve weeks. This covers the whole world end half of the number are ascribed to India. Now the number of men reported as killed or died from wounds in the armies of France, Russia, Great Britain, Italy, Germany and Austria totals 6,500,000. When the minor belligerants are reported and those counted as missing but actually killed are included, this total will doubtless be . raised to 7,000,000 or more for the four and a quarter years of war. Considering then the different lengths of

' pestilence has proved more than ten times as deadly as ' war.

1 The fatalities in the American army during the year of fighting were 36,154. The fatalities in the United States during the months of October, November and December due to the Spanish flu, were about 250,000, nearly ten time as many, or forty times as deadly. The war is over, but the plague still rage round the world. The sunny islands of the Pacific, sheltered from the war, have not escaped the pestilence. The native or Tahiti and Samoa, not having been immunized by pre-j

vious epidemics, have been more than decimated by this new disease. The interior of Africa, Asia and South America have been invaded. The number of those who have survived the attack but have suffered permanent Injury from it are probably as numerous in proportion to the fatalities as are the wounded who can never entirely recover. We heard a great deal in our newspapers about the air raids on England, but very little about influenza there. Yet the victims of the Zeppelins and airplains numbered only 554, while more than 10,000 equally innocent men, women and children were killed by the epidemic. It is evident that war attracts attention and arouses terror far out of proportion to its real danger. We rightly honor those who imperil their lives on the f eld of battle, but we ignore the physicians, nurses and relatives who have run as much risk at the bedside. The difference in attitude seems to be due to the erroneous idea that deaths from any disease are natural and inevitable. Yet it would probably be no more difficult to abolish influenza than to abolish war, easier in fact, because nobody believes in influenza while unfortunately some people do believe in war, Smallpox and typhoid, the pestilences that accompanied former wars and often claimed more victims, have now been brought under control. If there were as many societies for combating the grip as here are for preventing war and as 'much money spent in studying its causes and prevention as has been expended so far without effect on peace propaganda and peace conferences, could we not expect that its ravages would be greatly reduced if not altogether eliminated ?

HITTING THI HIGH SPOTS. Paris, Jan. 22

Dear Roy-I am fine in spite of heavy counter attacks in the battle of Paris. My sector ia holding well and

I still have a few francs in reserve

I looked over the battle field and saw 738 dugouts where the crown prince is supposed to have slept. Now I known what he was doing during the war. He was sq busy sleeping that he didn't have time to fight. Paris is a fine city if you don't have to eat. As soon as you look at the prices on the menu you wish you were back in some cheap hashhouse like Delmonico's or Sherry's,, where a working man can ge a recent breakfast for $10 or $12. . A man was seen eating an orange in the hotel here the other day and he was arrested for burglary. It was only a question of what bank he robbed. I am getting some fine ideas for gardening over here. Every poilu has a garden on his face. The shrubbery is very artistic. I spend a lot of time

hanging around barber shops hunting

for war souvenirs among the beards

that have just been trimmed.

I am still trying to find, where the peace conference is. Nobody sems to

konw the address. I tried to get a couple of tickets from a - speculator, but all the gallery seats left were next to the delegates from Siam and Hedjax. I expect to be home soon and then will find out all the news of what is going on over here. Yours, RUBE GOLDBERG. Marconi, he of wireless fame has added luster to his name by stating that he has a plan all space terrestrial to span, and . talk with Venus, Saturn, Mars and all the other well-j known stars. By what he said I am

impressed, and so are you and all the rest, to think that almost any day he'll reach the far-off Milky Way, and get an answer back, of course, about its meeted lacteal source, if Jupiter's a milkshake sipper from either Big of Little Dipper. 'I'm simply spifflified to know if on Arcturus they have snow, and if the funny Moon-man sticks for telling time by Luna-ticks. I'd love to signal to the sun and ask if they'd received a Hun, who's now "in Dutch" and hides from scorn, and pop him like the kids pop corn. Oh, what a joy 'twould be to send to Mars a message that would end the long dispute about their air and -if they have canals up there. I'd like to find out, if you please, if Mrs. Moon is made of cheese, and it the distant planets wink, or do they, so to put, blink? I'd like to find out if they know about our recent bloodshed show, and if they do, did they delight to see us Earth bugs bark and bite? Keep on, Marconi, don't abate your efforts to communicate with distant stars through atmosphere, while I will buzz the stars down here. HARLAN BABCOCK.

When Was First English Lutheran Church Organized

How many people In Richmond remember the very first English Lutheran church In 1853, Just after St Paul's church was organized from St John's, other members of the congregation withdrew and formed the First English Lutheran church. The new church prospered for about ten years. In the early sixties, the leading members of the church, withdrew. They had been carrying the church, financially, and discouragement caused the abandonment of the church. Members of the congregation went to other denominations, and the church property was bought by St Mary's. The old St Mary's church, still standing at Seventh and North A was the building in which the first English Lutheran church congregation of Richmond worshipped. In tn fall of 1883 at St Paul's Lutheran church was held the meeting out of which grew the present first English Lutheran church. Dr. Jacob Lutz, secretary of the Board of Home Missions, was present and recommended that the new congregation be encouraged. The cornerstone for the present

church building was laid May 10, 1895,

with President Ort of Wittenberg col

lege presiding. The bu icated October 11, 1885

Dr. J. W. KaDD served the church

for eighteen years. He was succeeded by Rev. E. G. Howard in 1902 and he in 1917 by the present pastor, Rev. Frank A, Dressel. A new pipe organ, new roof, new lighting system, new pews and new hardwood floor are some of the improvements made during Rev. Dressel's administration.

Charges Munitions Are Sent from U. 5. to Mexico

(By Associated press) MEXICO CITY, Feb. 11. General Caesar Lopez de Lara, commander of military operations in the oil regions, has notified the war department that he has received news that 10,000,000 cartridges have been shipped from New York for the use of the rebels in the Tampico district. Charges frequently have been made; notably by Luis Cabrera, that foreign oil companies are keeping alive the rebellious movement in the petroleum district and supplying the rebels with arms and ammunition.

ONE ON HIM A noted humorous lecturer, who was invited to deliver an address to an audience of convicts in a western, penitentiary, noticed that the audience laughed heartily, but did not applaud. After the lecture the warden of the institution ventured an apology. "They didn't seem very appreciative, did they?" "I thought they seemed to enioy It very much," the lecturer replied. "But they might have clapped a little," the warden remarked, "instead of just sitting there with their hands folded." "Well, well!" the lecturer laughed. "I noticed that they sat with their hands folded, but I thought they were all manacled."

Thin, Nervous, Run-Down People

Should Take Bitro-Phosphate

Remarkable Substance Discovered by French Scientist Closely Resembles Natural Composition of Nerve Cells in Human Body

Ms fflltsis Mir

Creates New Flesh, Strength and Energy In Two Weeks' Time In Many Instances. New York Physicians and druggists

all over the country have been Intensely Interested In reports concerning the nerve and strength-building properties of Bltro-Phosphate, discovered by the

French scientist, Pelouz. and later so successfully used and introduced to the medical world by Professor Robin, of the Academy of Medicine, Paris. It Is said that the constituent elements of Bitro-Phosphate are the nearest in composition to the materials naturally found in the nerve cells of the human body of any known substance, and that it furnishes an immediate supply of food and energy to the nervous system as soon as It is taken. Frederick Kolle, M. D.. Editor of New York Physicians' "Who's Who," ays: "Bltro-Phosphate should ba prescribed by every doctor and used tn very hospital to Increase strength and nerve foree and to enrich the blood." Joseph D. Harrigan. former Visiting .specialist to North Eastern Dispensatory, says: "Let those who are nerv

ous, thin, weak, or run down, take a natural, unadulterated substance such as Bitro-Phosphate, and you will soon see some astonishing results in the Increase of nerve energy, strength of body and mind and power of endurance." Those who are inclined toward nervousness, thinness, weakness, nervous debility, sleeplessness, etc., will greatly appreciate the opportunity to secure such certain relief and aid as Is afforded by this discovery. In order that the public may always be saved from deception, it has been arranged that the laboratories bottling Bitro-Phosphate will sell it under no other name in this country, and nothing else should be accepted. Very complete Information relating to Its use In the treatment of nervous disorders is contained In every package, so that it may be understood and correctly applied by anyone, So certain la it to assist those who are nervous to regain their health and vitality that the manufacturers guarantee to refund Its cost to any who are dissatisfied after using it. It is sold by Conkey Drug Co. In Richmond and most ell good druggists. Adv.
