THE LEAGUE OF MOTHERS.

American Women to Have a Conference
in Chicago
A conference of the League of Amer
can Mothers will be held in Chicago.
Aug. 1, , and 8, to which all mothers
and the thousands of league members
all over the country are invited.
Mothers are daily becoming more and
more eager to study child culture.
The plans of the League of American
Mothers are being adopted by wo-
mems clubs everywhere, since they
include this greatest and most neces-
sary subject for mothers so study.
The interest taken in the national
congress of mothers is proof of the
powerful growth of this mother work.
Intelligent women are realizing that
they yield the greatest benent to
home and country by rearing their
children nobly, and they are every
where asking, How can we be bet
ter mothers?" How can we secure
better neighborhood life and purer
companions for our children?"
How shall we take up this work of
character building in the home?"
How may We better cooperate with
the schooI?" Thew are demanding
definite plans of study and work in
this line to such an extent that the
League of American Mothers has re-
sponded by sending out study
course, fully outlined, suitable for
either individual reading or for n
mothers club program. The League
of American Mothers, during the past
year, put thousands of travelling IL
braries into circulation, which have
helped stir up great interest, and since
there are no mem bership dues or red
tape the plans are being adopted gen
orally. Correspondence j. invited
from all enthusiastic women who
wish to introduce the league plans in
their neighborhoods or to work by
themselves. For full information con-
corning the summer conference, en-
tertainment, and railroad rates, send

Swallowed HIS Destination.

A Clevelander who made n trip to
Washington says that, much as be was
impressed by the beauty and grandeur
of the national capital and its sur
roundings, the thing he will remem-
Der longest was n remark he heard
made by a Co;ored deckhand on one
of the handsome boats that take daily
trips up and down the Potomac.
These boats stop at many of the pic
turesque little Virginia and Maryland
river towns that dot the banks of the
historic river and take freight ship
ments to and from Washington. One
of the things shipped from one of the
down river towns on the boat the
Clevelander rode on was a goat of the
sort that delights the average small
boy. The CleveIander was wandering
about the boat, interested in the diff
ferences between the Potomac river
boat and the Lake Erie craft with
which he was familiar, when he no
ticed the colored deckhand standing
almost motionless before the goat,
which was tied TO one of the supports
of the upper deck. He was scratching
his head and apparently very much
puzzled.
What's the matterT' the Cleveland
er asked the deckhand.
