The male and female members OF
the social element of Georgetown,
comprising the younger element, have
declared war to the bitter end. For
some time the boys have been making
it practice to attend dances, con
pelling the girls to go by themselves.
The gallants would then favor the Ia
dies in the various dances, but when
supper time rolled around, they would
fill their stomachs, regardless of the
longing noticeable in the eyes of the
girls, who. too, were hungry. The re-
suit of the trouble is that the Sweet
Sixteen club declared a strike and
general walkout occurred. The club
members have been holding parties
from three to four times week. but
not an invitation has been extended
to the male element. The girls say

"The combination OF men to in.

III our financial fabric is bni,6eJ

cution of those rich men of Wall

"'The corporation president who yio-
lates the law and the labor leader
who violates the law are entitled to
punishment just the same as the
street criminal who violates the law
THE courts of our land must be
sustained and any attempt to thwart
the bringing about of absolute Justice
through those courts by preiudicing

DON'T GET up TOO EARLY.
American MagazIne


There is no adequate support for
the impression that the early morn
ing hours are in any way more whole
some or healthy than later periods
OF the day. Except in summer time,
they are apt TO be damp, foggy, chilly
and among the least desirable hours oil
the summer there is a sense of ex-
hilaration about being abroad In these
early morning hours, but this eyap-
crates with the dew and is apt to be
succeeded by corresponding depres-
sion and loss of working power later
IN the day have been observing
twenty years in this respect, and am
inclined to the opinion that not lit
tie of the depression and nervousness
which so commonly develop In hot
weather Is due to excessive exposure
to light. from habits of early rising,
Inherited from agricultural ancestors,
not counterbalanced by three to four
hours rest in darkened rooms in the
| middle of the day.
Secondly, that the exhilaration ex-
perienced during the early morning
hours is an expensive luxury which
has TO be paid for later in the day
In fact, have found that, as a gen
erai rule, to put ii very roughly, the
business or professional man who
rises an hour before 1880 or S o'clock
goes to bed, or loses his working
power, an hour and a half earlier in
the evening. Each individual has in
| the beginning of his day about SO
much working power stored up in his
brain and muscle cells. If he uses
this up with great rapidity in the
carly morning hours, he naturally ex
| hausts his stock the sooner in the
afternoon or evening.
II is largely matter of when q
man wishes to be at his best. If hi:
occupation is OF such a character that
| he can clear of the brunt of his worS
in the early morning hours, then lei
| he requires full vigor and readiness ol
mind and body in the latter part oi
tte day, or at night, then he must
rise later to get it. Even in pure
| muscle work, 1t is false economy tc
work too long hours.
