A Duty to Aliens.

Whose blackness they can understand.
Protection is debt we owe
Within our gates to workers.
Their little boards must fear no blow
From bandit bands Sicilians know,

To crush these Blank Hand villanies.

STOCKINGS WITH Tassels.

The seasons novelty in stockings
has cunning little silk tassels dangling
from the ankle and another pair higher
up, reaching to about the top of the
shoes. Nothing like these tassels has
been seen before on stockings, but
just now they are threatening to be-
come as popular as the Scotch plaids of
few years ago. The tassels certainly
give a fantastic touch to an otherwise
discreet stocking, for they are loose
and each tassel is about an inch long,
made of fine silk and likely to dance
and bob about with every step Of the
wearer. The tassel comes just above
the instep and looks well with pumps
or low slippers, and the higher tassel
gives the effect Of silkon Hessan boot.
The new stockings are in silk or Isle
and have besides the several tassels
elaborate embroideries in different col
Ors or in tones of the color Of the stock
ing itself. A very pretty design is in
the form of an elongated basket filed
with flowers and worked in natural
colors. The handle of the basket is
finished off with the inevitable dancing
tassels.

1t is surprising to find how few parents
know the great strength giving qualities
of good oatmeal Most of them think
OF it as a food for the sturdy Scotch or
the brawny Englishman, and overlook
It's value as food for children. Every
now and then mother will take to feed
ing her children on Quaker Oats and
will be astonished at their improvement
in strength and vigor. OF course, she
tells her friends, and they prove it for
themselves, but every mother in the
country should see that her children are
strong and vigorous. Plenty of Quaker
Oats, eaten often, will do it.
Grocers sell Quaker Oats in regular
size packages at l0c, the family size
packages at 2sc, and the family size
package containing a piece of fine china
for 30c.
Don't miss day; eat Quaker Oats

YACHTSMAN'S NOVEL FEAT.
LeffineweI of Chicago Club Will Tr,
to Set Mark In Arctic Zone.


To have its emblem carried farther
north than that of any other organiza-
ton which makes a sport of sailing is
to be the distinction of the Chicago
Yacht Club, whose burgee will be flown
from the truck of one of its members $
boats during a three years cruise in
the waters Of the Arctic zone.
The yachtsman who will carry out the
novel feat is Ernest De Koven Letting

member of the Chicago Yacht Club.
Mr.. Leffingwell recently went to Pa a.
dena, Cal, to perfect his plans for the
Alaskan trip.
His craft is to be a stanch auxiliary
schooner. now being completed in Seat
tie. and when it is launched the pennant
of the Chicago Yacht Club will fly from
the main truck, ready to be carried
where no Yachting embl m has been
seen before. The schooner will be a
fifty footer, and its auxiliary power
will be furnished by a twenty-five horse

companions during the trip, which is
to start May /. The first stop will be
made at Nome and the second at Point

rant For Navy Yard Employees.
With Miss Anne Morgan. daughter
of }. pierront Morgan, behind it,
there doesn't really seem to he much
chance that a restaurant to be started
at the Brooklyn navy yard on May ]
can be anything of failure.
The inancier's daughter is going to
start 1t SO the government employees
will be able to get something to eat
without going to saloons outside the
navy yard. Miss Morgan learned of
conditions at the navy yard when she
made visit Il year ago. 1t didn't
take the energetic young woman long
to get into communication with the
government authorities, and they re-
Gently told Miss Morgan that she
might go ahead and run an expert
mental restaurant. 49,
The government will turn over a
building formerly used as Il machine
shop, and this will be speedily equip
ped to accommodate $50 men. Miss
Morgan will conduct the place as
chairman of a committee of the wo-
mems department of the National
Civic federation.
Il don't want to claim all the credit
for this restaurant idea" said Miss
Morgan quite modestly. "The whole
women's department of the Civic fed
GRAFTON is behind it. We want to
show the government what great
advantage it will be to the navy yard
employees. If we make success of
it we expect that the government will
take the restaurant off our hands
Not only that. but we expect that 9th
er restaurants will be established in
other places where they will be of
use to government employees. We
shall serve meals at the very lowest
possible cost-just enough to cover
the expense"

walton Of the human figure until it be-
comes absolutely symmetrical has been
formed in Auburndale near Boston
and has already extended its influence
into the neighboring suburbs, the
Newtons, Winthrop, Revere, Brookline,
Lincoln and Dorchester.
The club is formed on the plan Of hav-
ing an equal number of men and women
on the rolls, and so popular has the new
science Of symmetry become that nc
less than 200 Of both sexes attended a
recent gathering. The creed Of the
cult is embodied in a book which has
already been written and is ready for
the printer. Its title is "The Human
Limit" and it deals with affinity ex-
tensively, and especially the power to
recognize af1inities, so that soul mates
may know each other at glance with
view Of perfect and happy marriages.
The founder and teacher of the new
idea is Edward Chase Merrill, formerly
instructor in the Boston School of
Practical Psychology. Both he and
his wife, he declares, have become ten
years younger as the result Of practis-
