full of enthusiasm and went back to my club and
told them about the things that were to be done to

caldwell continued, @and at every executive com

what to do with that So; for there are two

giving the money to one of them some other mem
Der would exclaim oh, you mustn't give it to that

"You know how a pool of water gets when all
the nlets choked up. Horrid green scum gath
ers on it and rank weeds and queer things grow in
it and people who live near it move away because
the air is poisonous and full of mosquitoes. That's
what happens to minds that are not active Queer
things into them. That's what happens to
clubs that are blase. There too many people who
like to sit with folded hands and dream of the
beautiful places they're going to- Right here is

BIaSe Club Women.

Mrs Mildred Manley Caldwell demonstrated at
the meeting of the West End Woman's Republican

told them, in a talk on "Club Atmosphere" that
women's clubs were blase, indifferent and without
worthy ambition all the women present applauded

pools of water of which the inets choked until
they get green them, ripples of laughter
and applause swept over the audience.

the speaker said. "You hear lot of women at
club meeting when a talk is announced on child
labor or the juvenile courts something equally

again? oh, I'm so tired hearing about that! l

The Hafpin as a Weapon.

St. Louis Globe Democrat: There has been
steady development of the hatpin as a weapon of
defense for several years and it is coming and
into use. The successful efforts of ST.
Louis school teacher to repel footpad by the
use of hatpins finally driving the robber away
bearing portion of one in his face, once again
proves that the hatpn must supersede all other
of feminine sef-protection. Pistols in the
hands of women have always been ineffective and
unreliable. Few women-or men, for that matter
can aim with accuracy and without confusion Wo-
at her best in hand to-hand conflict and the
weapons with which she is armed must be those
peculiarly suited to her mode of combat. She has
for many generations been an acknowledged adept
with the broomStck and the rolling pin has won
urnumbered victories for her; but there is deli
cacy, readiness and dizziness about the hatpin
that adaptS 1t to the feminine hand perfectly
than those rougher and not ready instruments.
The hatpin be reached with a facility almost
lightninglike and by motion unusually unexpected
and deceptive to highwayfnan or other malefactor
There is searching about in the battling folds of
Woman's rarnent for it, which involves fatal delay
1t is right at hand the instant, and is infcting
impossible to follow with the eye To make it
perfect weapon, it needs few changes. We look
for the New and Imported Colts Hatpin or the
Smith & Wesson Quick-Action Pin. The chief
defect in the present style hatpin is its handle Hat
pins should be made with the ornamental head of
such size and shape that it can be more firmly
grasped The present style of very large knobs on
the end, some of them fully as great in diameter as
an unhulled walnut is advance in the right di-
rection. If the heads of these recent hatpns were
loaded with lead they might be useful in telling an
assailant to the earth as with sung- shot The
hatpn, properly developed, will prove a blessing to
women who may be unexpectedly called on to de-
fend themselves

would insist all being clean shaven and
that both faces should be treated with strong
antseptic solution before and after allowing them
selves to be kissed, even if they did not abjure kiss
ing altogether.
"a striking illustration Of the dangers of kissing
a man with mustache is furnished by the results
of the following experiment, carried out short
time ago by eminent French physician This
doctor enlisted the services of two men, one clean
shaven and the other with a mustache, and took
them to his laboratory where young woman who
had been hired to be kissed, was waiting. With
the aid of certain preparations the doctor made
quite certain that no germs fingered on the lips of
the lady, after which the clean shaven young man
applied his lips to hers in the customary manner.
The doctor then passed sterilized brush over the
young lady's lips, dipped in into test tube con
tanning sterile solution and quickly sealed the top
The girls lips and face having been sterilized for
a second time, the with the 1nustache was per-
mitted to kiss her, the sterzed brush and test tube
being again used as before. After four days the
tubes were opened. The first taken from the shaven
man, was speckled with dots, each of which was a
colony Of yeast germs, such cause mould, but
practically harmless The second from the man

Women and Hotels.

Betty Bradun in the Washington Herald I used
to think that the rule of frst-cass hotels in ex-
Guiding lone women who arrive after midnight was
unjust. A newspaper woman who lived out of town
was kept at the office night 50 long that she
missed the last car, and decided to remain in town
She was new to city ways and did not know of the
rule till she found all the hotels filled to overlooking

approached At the last place she had her eyes
opened by the treatment accorded a couple who
arrived while she at the desk.
She made it rather embarrassing for the clerk
by demanding an explanation, and when she got it
she Immediately telephoned to the office for creden
tals They did no good, for the man dared not
break hard and fast rule of the house, she hired
cab at an extortionate price and requested the
office to pay for it because she had not been enligh

the pursuit of business. | said good deal about
the injustice of the rule at that time, but after
heard the other side of the question, veered some

They are looked upon with suspicion, for one

that it is now three years since Pres
ident Castro, Of Venezuela, announced
that he had serious designs of landing
at New Orleans with an army of 1907
900 men and proceeding on a trump

At that time, the assertion accred-

By Paul VI. Whiteside.

Washington April 25.--He wore 4
frock coat, a wide-rimmed, soft black
hat and his shoes squeaked. He wanted
to see the cloak room Of the senate.
I've read so many funny stories
about senator's he said, and every
one of them happened in the cloak
room-except a few which We're told
at the ater-cooler,' he added, on re-
Election.
When he was shown the cloak room,
he was surprised. Evidently he had
pictured in his minds eye a cloak

was, and mad uninhabitable by mud
splattered goloshes, dank, smelly rain
coats, umbrellas in corners and all
that sort of thing,
This visitor is only one OF those who
have an imaginative idea Of what the
cloak room is like. [. is doubtful
whether half a dozen people outside
of those who live in Washington, or
who have been here in a more or less
intimate capacity have ever seen the
cloak room.
The reality is much different from
the imagined. The cloak rooms, as all
who have seen them know, are fur
nished with great attention 10 solid
comfort. They are good places to
lounge about and tell stories-that' S
why so many stories are hung on
the cloak rooms.
Some of the lounging rooms OF fairly
prominent clubs are insignificant COM

he is the custodian Of traditions and
the emeritus of the dignity of the
senate.
Senator Burkett is scarcely 40 years
|old He had often heard that Senator
Hale represents as does no other man
and as no other man ever did-the
theory that TO the elders belong all
the rights Of the senate. He knew it
was regarded as fearful and awe
some thing to be called down by the
elderly senator and he knew that few
courted this fate Senator Burkett
did not care very much, however, for
when he considered that it was neces-
sary he essayed a little calling down
himself.
Senator Hale had moved a reconsid-
GRAFTON of the army appropriation bill.
incidentally, in making that motion,
he mentioned that the country was
running riot with extravaganza in its
war department.
Mr. Burkett frankly accused Senator
Hale of Withholding his criticisms I'M
