TAGGED WE'RE PLEASED TO
HAVE BEEN MARKED As ONE
WORTHY OF THE HONOR.

Today is Hospital Tag Day and prac-
tically every person in the city is

chased the tags just as literally as the

purchasing a suitable conveyance for

And everywhere the women and girls
found ready sales for their tags. No
one who was asked, refused to give lib

expected that the proceeds OF the day
will fully equal the donation made 20
the hospital last year. 1t would be
impossible to hazard guess as to just
what the ladies realized from the sale

of the ladies this afternoon that they
were meeting with great success in
their venture and it is believed that Al
ample amount will be realized to make
possible the purchase of the convey

er judge of the court of first instance
in the Philippine Islands today in an

Friends of Indians and other depen-

Between American and japanese
control. even the native politicians
themselves would infinitely favor US,
he declared. Mr. Od,in was the prin-
cipal speaker today.
The cry for independence comes
from limited number of the Filipino
people," he said aside from the half
million Mohammedan Moros, the six
millions of Filipinos proper may be
divided into three classes The first
group includes the leading men in
the Islands who interest themselves
in politics.
The Second Element.
The second element comprises that
element among the people who are
not keenly interested in politics. but
who busy themselves on their farms
or in commercial affairs of little i'm.
portance. The third. by far the larg-
est. comprises the masses who take
no interest in their government"
1t was the second group. he said
that was alive to the possibility OF

The speaker said that the discon

First Step in the Night School
Project at the Y. M. C. A.
Was Taken at Institution
Last Night.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
INTERFERED GREATLY
Was Fair Enrolment in the
General Business Class But
In Two Other Classes Men,
bership Poor.

At the Y. NJ. c. A. last evening the
night school classes for workingmen
were organized. The classes were not
as large as anticipated and the asso
citation officials were somewhat dis.
appointed. However, weather condi
tions were greatly responsible for the
small number of students enrolling.
The general business class has fairly
large membership, but there are only
few students in the English and me-
chanical drawing classes.
Mechanical drawing in associations
in other manufacturing cities is the
most popular course and often the en-
rollment is so large that more than one
class is formed. However. here, there
were but eight persons who signified
their intentions Of taking this course
Mr.. Goodwin attributes as a reason fov
this that the workingmen in the shops
are not familiar with it's purposes.
Hiatt an Instructor.
Joseph P. Hiatt. the instructor, does
not only intend to teach the course So
that one may follow it as a vocation
but he also expects to equip mechanics
in different trades so that they may
understand the charts. Mr.. Goodwin
says that it often proves the case tha.
mechanics who are unfamiliar with
mechanical drawings. are often baffled
when a chart for work is handed them
The class will not be discontinued
because of the small registration. as
the officials are hopeful that at the
first class meeting Monday evening
there will be several new members.
The business course. in which ele.
mentary arithmetic. writing and spell
ing are taught, has an enrolment OF
nine. The officials desire a class OF
Is members.
The registration for any Of the
above courses. has not been closed
The courses in the first aid to the in
jured, public speaking and automobile
study. will be organized later. Mon
day and Thursday evening was select
ed as the meeting nights for the class
es organized last evening.

to report that night?

But there was no answer. He called
again, and q second time: he told the

about him. He got no response from

impressive ignorance. He could get
nothing.
Rupert Winter stood a moment,
frowning and thinking deeply. Di-
rectly, with a shrug of the shoulders,
he walked out of his own outside door,
locking it, and went straight to Miss
Smiths.
He knocked, at first very gently,
then more vigorously. But there was
no answer. He went away from the
door, but he did not re-enter his room.
He did not bear to his aunt the news
which, with all its meagerness and ir-
ritating incompleteness, had been an
enormous relief to him. He simply
waited in the corridor. Five minutes,
ten minutes passed; then he heard the
elevator whir and, standing with his
hand on the knob of his open door, he
saw his aunt's companion, dressed for
the street, step out and speed down
the corridor to her own door.
The other voice-the womans voice
had been Janet Smiths.
