As
' A cily which Ims about 7n,0O men
Unemployed reports that one-third of
them arc building workers "usually out
of work at this time of year."
Here is a fact whicli is not specific
ally responsible for the big unemploy
ment problem now confronting the na
tion, but which nerves to complicate
a bad situation. It is n fact perfectly
familiar to everybody, uhd yet one
which nobody ever seems to do any
thing about.
Surely it is not inevitable thnt men
In the building trades and other "tieu
sonul" trades should be employed only
n pnit of the yenr. Surely it would
fee possible to work out a system
whereby pninters, plasterers, carpen
ters, etc., would bo nble to engage in
productive and remunerative effort
throughout the whole twelve months.
They might be enabled to work at
their own trndes through the winter by
means of industries purposely adapt
ed to them in their own communities;
they might be transported to other
sections of tile country, where their
labor Is needed; they might vary their
occupations during the "off" months
and make a living by some adaptation
of their skill to other lines of work.
Theso are offhnnd suggestions, but
surely not void of merit. Others might
readily occur to anyone.
It seems strnngo that neither the
labor unions most directly concerned,
nor the employers next concerned, nor
thceconomists who are so full of clev
er Ideas about theoretical matters, do
anything to solw this evor-recurnug
practical problem of seasonal unem
ployment. Aged Woman Wants

aomc kind of Oioful work can be over'

with the uccoinpatiying stimulation of
interest in Do vo.rk to be done ciild
labor is nut the buijji6:ir that it is
sometimes made out to be. The elen
cliild is roither the one doomed to p
sweatshop existence or to the other
extreme of languid Idleness. The
ideal child is the one vJiu can grasp
the fact trial w'ork is the divinely or

clearly illustrated by the boys' nfid
girls' agricultural club over in Pierce

"These urc the kids

That, fed the man
That carried the gun
That shot the I lull
That triid to run ,

There are a great many thousand.
of such kids, organized into clubs thai

with their work, even if the war is
about ended. Their activity may ll(
said lo have just begun. They will be
a real and permanent factor in Amer
ican agriculture hereafter, partly
UimjurIi their yearly contribution ti
the country's crops, but far more

Our Allies la the Near East J
0 By Charu Evans Hughes
Trobably at notfinfc in the history of thS'world
have there been si many fatherless anil niotfier
less children as there are today. Tes of tlious
aiidg, probably hundreds of tliousids ir; Ar
inenia, Sy.ia, Caucasus, Persia, Afesoiotaiiiia
and Palestine are not. only without parents, but
aie without any strong parentar government to
give them the help and protection which orphan
children of other lands enjoy.
American Consuls' and missionaries cable
the American Committee for Rejief in the Near
Kast, almost daily regarding the situation. One
message from the Russian Caucasus pleads for
the support of 10,000 children at an average
expense of two dollars per month per child.
Another from Ti.'lis reports 40,1x30 children iu
one region waiting for an answer to a previous '
cablegram requesting help. Reports from other
points indicate similar conditions. Among the
many appeals it is possible for this committee to
assume responsibility. for only the most pressing
caes, and it is upon these that the committee
would focus the attention of the American peo
ple. .Splendid help has been rendered the little
ones in otiier lands, but these in Western Asia
are no less human than those who have already
been aided by American charily. It is the duty
of Americans, as well as a privilege to respond
to this great opportunity and help keep alive the
best civilization that Western Asia h:.s developed.
All expenses of administration for this relief
arc privately met, so that every dollar sent to the
committee is used directly by their agents in
purchasing fond and supplies for the needy who,
according to the best advices and from audited
reports, receive the full benefit of the funds sent
them.
Out of the horror and nightmare through
which these people have passed comes the gratify
ing word that wc can be of assistance; that our
efforts will prove availing, and that we can share
with these orphan children the boujity which we,
as Americans, have enjoyed for years. The work
done by this committee has been most unselfish
and effective tinder conditions of great personal
sacrifice. May America respond to their appeals.
