SOCIETY WOMAN CALLS
SERVANT GIRLS "ANIMALS'
Club Members Startling Assertion
Causes Controversy in the
New Jersey Feder-
alton

NEW YORK, March 15.-Members of
the New Jersey State Federation of
Women's clubs are exercised over a
controversy on the domestic servant
question that was raised at meeting
of the Essex county committee at
Newark, Monday.
While making a report for the de-
partment of household economics, Mrs.
Edward S. Robinson of Westfield is
credited with saying:
Women need to become educated in
the science of household work, since we
are obliged to put up with the sort OF
animals we now have i'll our kitchens,
1t Is a part of our duty to educate our
servants. A man is known by the COM
pany he keeps, but a woman is known
by the servants she keeps"
Mrs. Robinson emphasized the fact
that the department she represented
was the only one in the federation that
is doing it's work without the assist
ance of men.
Mrs. Brice Callard, president of the
Hudson county committee. said:
81 think the girls arc deserving of a
better name than animals. They are
not animals any more than we are.
have kept house for more than thirty
years and have never had an animal
in my kitchen. Some of us need more

STABS HIS CHUM IN
"WILD WEST" SPORT
Lad Carries His Badly Wounded
Comrade in His Arms a
Block to the Hos
pitaI

NEW YORK. March ia boy stag
gered into the office of the Eastern
district hospital in Williamsburg yes
terday afternoon, carrying a smaller
boy bloodstained and unconscious, in
his arms. Refusing to surrender his
burden until he had told his story, the
breathless lad was led before DR.. Rez.
ken, the house physician. His cheeks
were wet with tears and his voice was
choked with sobs.
Hes me chum, Doc" he managed to
say. 1--WE was playing wild west
show in de street and / struck him
wild me knife. But / didn't mean to dc
it-not on your life. Say, Doc, don't
tell me he's goin' to die"
The little victim was Cepheus Jerol-
omon, 13 years old, of 116 South Third
street, Williamsburg. There was a
cash in his right breast through which
reached the lung. That his condition
was critical was apparent to the hos
pital physician at a glance.
The sobbing boy, who had carried the
sufferer to the hospital, was John
Rider, 15 years old, of 96 South Third
street. 1t was in front of Riders home
that the boys of the neighborhood had
started the wild west show. Rider APP
propriated the heroic role of Buffalo
Bill ana cast MS lIiSHus llllS JeTOlO-
mon, for "a war chief.
Guarding an imaginary stage coach,
Rider met the onslaught of redskins
with high courage. He had armed
himself with a penknife In the ex-
citement of the attack, forgetting the
open blade in his hand, he struck and
Jerolomon fell at his feet. There was
a great red stain on the breast of the
lads shirt where the knife had pierced
his chest.
Rider, beside himself with terror and
grief, hurled away the knife and gath
cred his unconscious chum in his arms,
Then, staggering under the weight, he
hurried as fast as his tottering legs
would carry him to the Eastern dis
trict hospital. Fortunately it was only
a block away.
Last night the wounded boy, still in a
precarious condition, was removed ia
his home, against the advice of the
hospital surgeons. Beside him walked
young Rider, with tear-reddened eyes,
There will be no arrest. The injured

AUSTRALIANS CHEER THE
GREAT AMERICAN FLEET
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SYDNEY, N. $. w, March 15.-There
was a dramatic scene today at great
gathering of citizens when, at the con-
clusion of an address on the subject of
national defense, the premier, Alfred
Deakin, read a cablegram announcing
that the American fleet of battleships
would visit Sydney and Melbourne. He
called for three cheers for the United
States. and the audience rose en- masse
and responded with deafening hurrahs.
The prime minister said that he was
sure that such welcome as an Ameri-
can fleet had never known outside of its
own country would be accorded 1t by
Australia, and the cheering that FOL
lowed this statement seemed evidence
of the fact that Australians, one ana
all, have a feeling stronger than mere
friendship for the American people and
their navy.
Premier Deakin in his speech advo-
Gated greater expenditures for national
defense He said the burden imposed
upon the people of Great Britain for
the maintenance of their naval and
military forces was beginning to tell,
and that wealthy Australians could not
expect to enjoy the privileges of pro-
lection against invasion without bear
ing their share of the cost. The eX-
penditure recommended is $9,0OO,OO0 an
nually for an army of 10000 men and
fifteen coast defense vessels.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 15.-The
Slovo says the return of the American
fleet. as announced, is as sensational as
its departure. The Slovo's idea of a
war had evidently disappeared, for it
says:
while this arouses deep satisfaction
in Europe, the preservation of peace is
due to the display of the big stick of the
United States, the prudence of Japan
and the good offices of Great Britain"
The Novoe Vremya says: Whatever
the original purpose. the cruise has
done a useful service by a public ex-
animation of the American navy. We
regret the course of the fleet lies away
from out shores, where it would meet
with the heartiest welcome"

terday. I'm on your track. What be-
came of those green ties with the blue
dots you promised to make for my pet
giraffe?"
Immediately Miss Belford knows
again THAT she is the victim of this
lunatic's vagaries.
But she never dares let the call go
unanswered for fear that there might
be something of importance needed.
Sends PostaIs and Letters
Not only these phone messages COM
ing at midnight, and even at 1 and 2
o'clock in the morning, but also mes
sages of the most peculiar type are
sent on postal cards and in letters.
"These are the worst I ever saw"
exclaimed Miss Belford, blusing beau
tifully at the thought of the strange
missives which have come to her by
the more or less public route of a post
card.
"Why, he writes the most absurd
things you ever heard of in all your
life," she continued, speaking of the
matter yesterday. tI don't know what
he does not accuse me of, from burg
larry to procrastination."
And the victim of this unheard of
caller was unable to proceed any fur
ther in her remarks, but clenched a
pair of small fists and then felt for the
inevitable hat pin, that saber of de-
fense which has been welded so eff
fectively by American girls under the
regime of the Big Hat.
"If ever I lay eyes on him." she
said. che will never call up my number

THE CAST
BY sTDLE LAWRENCE

IINUPID AT >XASSAR" is a farce
comedy of the style that was
~ popular some ten years ago. 1t
is programmed as a musical play" but
theatergoers with memories that extend
back a decade know better. There were
a lot of those farce-comedies and they
were tremendously popular. If you can
remember SO far-considerably more
than ten years, by the way-you may
possibly recall "Over the Garden
Wall" 1t was q good show in those
days. Perhaps it would be today. Then
Evans and Hoey came along with
Hoyt's "A Parlor Match" so good that
1t ill sputters fitfully in an occasional
revival. OF course no one ever equaled
Hoyt in this style of entertainment and
probably no one ever WILL but there
were others. Matthews and Bulger
produced several pieces along similar
lines. So did Ward and Vokes, and a
host of lesser comedians. Murray and
Mack still are at it. All this. however,
probably would be ruled out of any
court in the land as incompetent, ir-
relevant and immaterial.
l don't know who wrote Cupid at
Vassar." The Los Angeles theater pro-
gram is silent on that point. Conse-
quently i surnise that the author
whoever he may be. is not exactly
proud of his work. The best thing
about the piece is its name. Doubtless
that title has drawn many a dollar into
the box office and doubtless it will con-
tinue to draw many more.
Plot Is Tenuous
Farce comedies never are remarkable
for plot, and this one is no exception to
the rule. The story concerns the love
affair of Kate Newton and John Will
lett, which would have run smoothly
enough if outsiders hadn't interfered.
The Interference, however, makes
trouble. Kate returns to Vassar. taxi
ing with her a half-spoken proposal
and an idea that her knight has played
her false. He writes, but his letters
are intercepted. That is as near an
original idea as the author displays
anywhere in the piece, so you may
imagine the rest. There doesn't seem
to be much use in repeating it here.
Florence Gear makes a breezy Kate
Newton. She is a young woman of
pleasing personality, and with better
vehicle might accomplish much. AS 1T
is she struggles hard with an utterly
silly role and at times makes the char
acter almost lifelike, which really is an
achievement. Claude Kimball is the
leading man, and an unconscious come
diam. The, audience laughed at him
last night, following his big scene"
George II. Timmons contributes char
acter bit as negro janitor that was
we'll liked by the house, and Harry B.
Roche, as Amos North likewise proved
popular, though whether North is to be
classed as heavy or a comedy role
is beyond me.
AS for the Vassar. girls, they are
merely chorus girls playing at going to
college. In passing. the freshmen
graduate with the seniors in the last
act, but that is scarcely worth mention
ing in farce-comedy.
There are several good musical inter
polations, the best of which are sung
by Miss Gear and by Miss Josephine
Sproule.

PASTOR TALKS ABOUT
BOYS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL
Says That Parents Must Show Better
Example Before Children to
Induce Them to Be
Good

What Shall We Do to Hold the
Boys in the Sunday School?" was the
topic of Rev. G. E. Cleveland, pastor
of the Orchard Avenue Baptist church,
yesterday morning. He said in part:
what shall we do to hold the boys
in the Sunday school? There are many
schemes in answer to that question
the boys brigade and the new boys
class known popularity among the
churches as the Baracas. The Phila-
theas are for the girls. This is new
scheme. Give the boys a classroom all
to themselves; give them an organiza-
ton; let them have this and that and
the other to interest them.
You won't get the boys to stay in
the Sunday school While the men stay
at home or go fishing or camping out,
Oh sit on the front porch and smoke.
People are not necessarily interest
ed in the principles we advocate be-
cause attracted by the entertainment
we furnish. You are putting boys on
the wrong trail--a trail that leads away
from Jesus Christ and away from the
church, when you give them to un-
derstand that they are to be held IN
connection with the Sunday school or
the church either by means of some
attractive entertainments.
1--WE shall not get the boys and young
men back to the Sunday school and
church services so as to do them real
good until the evil has been overcome
and removed which took them away.
The boys have fallen away-those over
Ii or 10 years of age-becauSe their
fathers went away first.
Men of this generation have given
themselves up to the sway of CONNER
cialism. They are running after the
almighty dollar They are more anxious
for increasing their bank account; they
are more anxious for the stocks that
they hold to rise in value, or the bonds
that they have bought to increase in
dividends, and all this sort of thing,
than anything else. The spirit of COM
mercialism has been tried now for prac-
tically a whole generation. 1t is fully
thirty years since that began to be the
dominant spirit of the men throughout
this whole country. But certainly for
one whole generation the spirit of COM
mercialism has ruled, and more and
more it has separated the men from the
church 1t has taken away a great
army of men because on Sunday they
are too tired to go to church.
Cannot Attend Church
1.-THE man who gives himself up for
six days in the week to the full, un-
qualified sway of the spirit of CONNER
cialsm is in no condition to go to
church on Sunday morning.
THE women have been true and
are true still in large measure, as the
men are not; and l am reminding you
of this fact, which is popularity over
looked The fire is kept burning by the
women; they have worked their finger
nails off for their loyalty to Jesus
Christ and the truth in the gospel. Wo-
men will work till they drop dead for
it. But when you tell me the church
and the gospel are being maintained by
women alone. you are overlooking one
of the fundamental elements that God
has put in mans nature-the rugged,
heroic elements that the gospel advo-
cacv needs"
