count of Its antiquity. Pare. core and
quarter dozen tart. juicy apples, turn
over them cupful Of boiling water and
set where they will begin to cook. Five
minutes later add to the apples two cups

utes. while you prepare a very soft bis
cult dough- using for a pint of -four a
teaspoonful Of sugar, two teaspoonfuls Of
baking powder, a half tablespoonful of
shortening and milk to stir to dough

the apples. which should be tender, but
not broken. cover the kettle closely and

butter and one cupful of sugar, stirring
in just before using a scant cupful Of
boiling milk or water and seasoning to
taste.

NEW BUSINESS LEAGUE
OBJECTS OF AN ORGANIZATION
LAUNCHED YESTERDAY.

With the view of bringing new enter
eating manufacturing plants in the sub
urbs OF the city and across the Potomac
in Alexandria county a preliminary meet
ing of the projectors Of the Business
League of Washington was held last
evening in room $40, Bond building. H. T.
Wilder was chosen temporary chairman
and Henry L. Sweinhart acting secre-
tary. The prospective objects of the
league were stated by the chairman and
secretary and by Messrs. ]. L. Warning,
c. E. Gresham and j. Walter Mitchell.
Others named members of the board Of
nine governors are w. E. Harris, Louis
Mcmahon, William Carver and ]. A.
Marvin.
The opinion was expressed by several
members that land on the Virginia side Of
the Potomac opposite the city presented
an ideal location for factories. The smoke
law would not apply, and ground could be
purchased at comparatively low prices.
At the same time. it was explained,
Washington would reap manifold advan-
tages from such manufacturing plants
and their thousands. of employees. The
offices of the plants, it was said would be
located in this city. as well as wholesale
stores attached to the factories.
Location for Factories.
The adjacent Maryland territory north
of Washington was cited as presenting
a good location for the prospective fac
tories and the hundreds of small dwell
iugs that would spring up about the
plants as homes of the operatives
The statement was made that a shoe
factory with an annual output of about
81 900. 600 shirt factory and a plant for
the manufacture of furniture are among
those companies which had been consid-
ering the advisability of locating here
abouts. It was the sense of the project
Crs that the league act in cooperation
with the Chamber of Commerce and
Beard of Trade, and that later commit
tees be appointed to confer with those
bodies.
1t was decided to hold another meeting
of the governors for the purpose of or
ganzng permanently and mapping out
a tentative plan Of action. and ]. l..

ing for next Tuesday evening in room 319,

CUMMINs REFORMING AGAIN.

| During the past week the people OF
Iowa have been stirred to their very
souls by revelations OF child labor
| abuses and cruelties which have beer
made to them from the pulpits OF
| thousands of churches in the state. The
preaching was done in concert by min
listers of every denomination in re-
Spouse to a request issued in the form
of a proclamation by the governor of
Iowa.
Most of the information given has
been published in the current maya
zines. of course, for a busy preacher in
Iowa where child labor is regulated by
sane laws has no opportunity for per-
sonal Investigations, but. altho close
readers may have been more or less
familiar with the conditions revealed
the telling Of them from the pulpit
deepened their impressions and made
more vivid the horrors recounted
1t is inconceivable to civilized peo-
pie that babies as young as four and
seven years should be found st work
in the cotton mills of the south and
on the night shifts at that. The picture
of the man with pail of cold water
walking about dashing water into the
faces of these children to keep them
awake arouses a mans blood to the
lynching temperature. To think that
these inhumanities exist also in the fish
canneries of Maine and in the sweat
shops Of Chicago thoroughly disgusts a
man with his boasted American civili-
cation.
Governor Cummins has started an
agitation which, if continued into ma
tional discussion. will result in reforms
long needed Cummins is the kind Of
a man who always believes in going
forward When he reads of abuses
that need reforming his first impulse
is to do something about it. II he were
ever to be seated in the United States
senate, it is a moral certainty that
there would be strict child labor law
on the federal statute books before his
first term had ended His course as
governor of this state has been one Of
constructive work. No administration
in the history of the state has shown
so many reforms actually accomplished
as have been accomplished during his
period as governor and they are all so
reasonable and sane that all factions
of his own party and all political par
ties are united today in endorsing
them. A few men like him in the fed
eral congress would get something
done that will benefit humanity. He is
essentially a constructionist as well as
conservative agitator.

ARRESTED sixTY.FivE TIMES.

An Iowa newspaper on it's local page
makes note of a local character who
has been arrested sixty-five times for
drunkenness, disorderly conduct and
general vagrancy within the past two
years. 1T is noted simply and with
out comment, as uncommon enough to
make an item Of local interest. Had
the number of arrests been half as
many it is unlikely that it would have
received notice, For we have as
sumed a complacent police attitude to-
ward Migrants, disorderlies and the
like. They are founded up, pay their
fines or serve their time and are re-
leased to await the next round up.
The vagrant inebriate and disorderly
problem, SO far as habituals are con-
cerned. is being dealt with in a slip
shod, happy go lucky fashion that
needs immediate reform. The habitual
vagrant is accepted as inevitable,
somewhat in the manner of the wealth
er and visitations of providence-or
improvidence. The petty fines and
short sentences he receives are ut
terly inadequate to abate the nuisance
or assist in reforming the class upon
whom they are levied. Something diff
