the Missouri Antsaoon League. He became connected
with it at time when the personnel Of the League could
not be carefully guarded as it is
He worked for time in the southwestern part of the
state with headquarters in Springfield He conducted
himself there that the pastors Of Springfield to-
gether and signed paper almost unanimously asking
that he be removed from that community They sent this
protest against his continued presence there General
Superintendent Baker, but at that time there was
League law that would reach him.
He then came to St. Louis but confined his operations
almost wholly to the country DISTRICTS where it claimed
he did considerable effective no-lcense work Rev. Mr.
Lindsey, Superintendent of the Missouri League re-
signed, and the local committee chose Mr. Robinson
ing superintendent.
Wouldn't Stand for Him
The National Headquarters Committee refused to
firm his election because of lack of confidence either in
his judgment integrity. The local committee soon
discovered their mistake and the League Mis-
souri, set to work to get rid of him.
At this uncture Mr.. Robinson slipped down into the
state and had the league Incorporated with himself as
one OF the ncorporaors well superintendent and
created thereby entirely committee The old and
rightful committee, composed Of honorable Christian
men, against whom charge could be made, the
chairman Of which DR.. w B. Palmore, Of the st.
Louis Christian Advocate made public his escapades
and the National League refused give him further
recognition of any sort AS result his began
to dwindle.
Oh, No; He Wouldn't Craft!
He then proposed to turn the corporation and the
meager assets for much money though he demanded
three four times the of money these assets
worth After consultation with few real friends
of the League, who felt that it worth what he de-
manded to get rid of him and get the League real
nonparsan basis and under the control Of the churches

him, and his corporation, with the remnant of the
League was taken over and is being placed eff
fcient League basis.
Mr. Robinson of course has felt very much aggrieved
at the National Committee of which Dr. Russell is
chairman, because of it's refusal to recognize him as
superintendent of the Missouri League His conduct in
a number of ways since his elimination from the League
has proven the wisdom of the committee in refusing to
give him any recognition.

DON'T YOU NEED A CHILD? There Is One Waiting for a Place in
 Your Home.

Is 1t possible to work successfully flor the child that needs home and the home that needs a child?' In other words. can great number of unfortunate boys and girls be saved from public institutions by the system of finding havens for them in places that are ''homes" on the hest acceptatton of the word?. year of practical experimentation has proved that remarkable results can be accomplished by child rescue campaign conducted in the principle that universal mother love can be awakened to a sense of responsi- bility for the neglected children of the world.
 Not only have many childless women adopted boys and girls but many care less and temporarily helpless mothers have been aroused to a sense of their highest duty. The secondary influence of this .wor,--this stirring-up of the latent maternal solictude-may be productive of the most widespread reforms, which will reduce institutional work to the minimum. A letter from California, pub lished in the February Delheator. tells It's own story. The writer says
 Its through your child-rescue articles that I have my three children out of the home in which had been forced to place them for year. Your first article touched mo to the depths, and each suc- ceeding one. They told me what l knew to be the truth-it's far, far better for the little ones to be in a private home. could not sec my way to have them and also work for trem, but your precious articles strengthened me and finally, last March, I took my two children out and home and worked for them. sewing, etc., and last July my youngest one also came back to me. I am now In charge of a day nursery that has just been started

Male Chorus Plan Concert.

The Jefferson Male chorus is making preparations for concert that will be given early in March for the benefit of the piano fund. New choruses are being rehearsed, among which will be new ar engagement of the famous old march song, Men of Harbek," a number that was given by the renowned Welsh choir now touring this country, before President and Mrs. Roosevelt. who were so pleased with 1t that they asked that it be repeated. In connection with the chorus an orches- tra is being formed as part of the chorus, and several well known and able musi- clans have signified their desire to become part of the same. It Is the intention of the officers of the organization to make the proposed concert the greatest musical event that has occurred in the south in recent years.

 This letter opens a vista of possibili- ties to the phllanthropic mind When women of all classes come into knowl edge of what motherhood means as the highest privilege of life, there will be little need of institutions ana chld-rescue campaigns but until the better under standing comes there is much to be done.

Address to United Charities.

MT. Frances Mclean. the national field secretary of the United Charities, made an address to the local associa- tion this afternoon. His address was replete with good suggestions based on his personal experience in this work. He inquired particularly into the work accomplished by the Ensley society, taking the names, nationality, etc., of the benefciaries, as he is compiling a general statement of the work that is being done by the various charitable institutions. He will again visit this district in March and will at that time offer suggestions looking forward to uniformity of the manner in which the work is carried on in each state. He complimented the officers of the Ensley organization on the progress made since it's organization.

NESTS THAT WEIGH TONS

IN Australia are to be found the largest
1 heaviest, and most peculiar nests in the
world. These are the nests of the jungle fowl
so called, and are built in the form of great
mounds, the average measurement In height
being fifteen feet and the circumference one
hundred and fifty feet The nests are erected in
secluded, sheltered spots; and, as in the case
of the small nests of birds, they are skilfully
interviewer with leaves, grass, and twigs, and
such other suitable material as the fowl may
be able to procure.
A similar system in the construction of nests
is followed by the bush turkey, whose home is
however, more comprehensive in design. Its
shape is pyramidal. 1t has been asserted by
Australian naturalists that the nests of the
bush turkeys, which live in colonies, SO large
that to move them requires the services of six
or seven men. The material of single nest
has been found to weigh upward of five tons

WONDERS OF CRYSTALS

0NE of the greatest mysteries in the world
~ IS the growth of crystals, and one of the
most delightful occupations of men of science
is the search for the crystallic forms that adorn
the museums of geology and mineralogy.
There is something almost startling IN the sug-
gestion of lifelike forces presented by the regu-
lar shapes of many crystals.
crystalline growth and the growth of animals
and plants, especially with reference to the
power of healing and repairing injuries.
If some of the lowest and simplest forms of
animal life are torn asunder they are not
killed, but each separate part grows into a per-
feet animal form. In plants this power is
much more completely developed. while crys-
tails possess it to astonishing degree. 1t
has even been shown that crystal that has
been INJURED will under some circumstances,
suspend it's growth over the remainder of its
surface until the injured part has been re-
paired. Yet there is real life in the crystal,
but simply force that causes its particles to
arrange themselves in geometric forms.
Some crystals, it is believed, have had their
growth suspended during millions of years,
after which enormous lapse of time the growth
has been renewed Such process would be
impossible to animals and plants, although
some imaginative story writers have treated
their readers to wonderful accounts of sus-
pended animation in man.
In one respect 1T has been pointed out, CryS-
tails possess a great advantage over human
beings,-they are able to renew their youth.
This is not because they have discovered
counterpart of the marvellous fountain that
Ponce de Leon so vainly searched for, but be-
cause the forces of capitalization are able to
renew their action even after the greater part of
crystal has been destroyed through age or
accident.
