TUE CITIZENS Of Washington, and
the large number of people from every
part of the country who have occasion
to visit the National Capital on bust
ness or as tourists, can congratulate
themselves on theprospect of an early
improvement in the character Of our
sidewalks. The sidewalks have been
neglected to an alarming degree in the
effort to build fine streets and sewers,
but the increase of 1924, 900 in the
revenues for 1887, Colonel Ludlow
says, viii Justify the Commissioners
in asking for a special appropriation
for sidewalks, which they propose

CHASED BY 4 U.lLRUG.

One Of the most novel encounters be-
tween man and wild beast ever re-
ported is the following incident told by
Capt. Koldewey in "The German
Arctic Expedition It occurred on the
east coast of Greenland:
AS, with difficulty, we were following
the road, we We're suddenly startled by
a walrus breaking through the ice close
to us. We fled as quickly as we could,
for any attempt to defend ourselves
would have been madness.
But the walrus swan as quickly under
the ice after us, breaking through it
near us, evidently intending to swim in
our company. We dispersed as much
as possible, springing over the ice-crust,
through which the alpenstock con-
stantly broke, followed by the rustling
and Tapping caused by the monster.
Had any one fallen in, it would have
been impossible to have pulled him out
again.
Fortunately, near Cape Wynn, a
screen of old ice relieved us from our
pursuer. These creatures can break
through ice six inches thick and strike
the exact spot where they last saw their
enemy.

TO HELP THE W.4IFS.

Fifty ladies met recently at the Grand
Pacific to form "Woman's Corps" aux
iliary to the "Waifs' Mission Board Ex-
Gov. John L. Beveridge presided, and
was supported by Superintendent Tay-
lor E. Daniels and Mesdames Frances
W. s. Brawley and Sarah A. Smale.
Mrs. G. Gilbert Wheeler was appointed
Secretary It was stated that one of the
objects at which they aimed was the
founding of school to which no order
Of court was necessary for the admission
of children. Mrs. Denison Groves
made short talk Of her personal expe-
rience in this mission work. Mrs. Jo-
seph Harris read paper on "The Mod
ern Pharaoh's Daughter, in which she
called attention to the fact that these,
waits for whose care aid was sought
were soon to be citizens. Mr. Clafin.
teacher in the West Side High School,
cited the two extremes, those poor
was meaningless, and those surrounded
by every comfort and protecting love.
"Over Against the Treasury" a poem
by Mrs. Agnes e. Mitchell, was read by
the author. Mr.. Daniels spoke upon
the subject Of military and Manual
Training" He condemned the cheap
theaters at which the boys learned evil.
A committee consisting Of Mrs. G. Gill
bert Wheeler and Messrs. Brawley,
Hagaman, Ambridge, and Daniels was
appointed to confer with the Executive
Committee of the Waits Mission to de-
wise means of work, organization, etc.
Mrs. Robert Clark was made the Presi-
dent of the organization

She spoke Of the new range of employ
ments opened for girls; of industrial
schools and classes; of girls in the
counting-room; of girls as designers, as
metal workers; of girls studying and
becoming trained nurses, physicians,
dentists; of girls who had homesteaded
land in the far West, and We're success
full fruit-growers, bee-keepers, etc.
But especially she dwelt upon the
need of similar training for the daugh-
tiers of the wealthy, less aping Of for
eign customs. less display. She spoke
with pride of Mrs. Cleveland as a rep
resentative American girl, filling her
exalted position with an ease, dignity,
grace, and sincerity of purpose that
makes her respected and loved by
thousands of women that have not seen
her. And last, she spoke of the power
that rich American girls have to check
the rising tide of display, vulgarity, and
,xtravagance, by setting finer and
higher example each in her own circle.
Rarely does young girls essay
evince such earnestness and power; and
the audience thrilled to the words Of
the reader,-the graceful young girl
who seemed made of spirit, fire, AID
dew, not knowing of the added in
SEPARATION that had been given to the
girls manner by the little scene in the
dressing-room.
Seldom does such applause greet q
debutante as Mildred received when she
stepped down from the platform. And
when each of her classmates received
among their flowers a handsome bouquet,
and found in the center a plain goll
ring, with the inscription, "From NJ. L.,
June 4th, 'S7," they knew in what way
the money saved by her simple dress
had been expended.
But the happiest moment of all, to
Mildred, was when her father called
her into his study, few days after, and
said:
