MISS CRYSTAL EASTMAN;

Crystal Eastman, graduate oil
Vassar, is doing a mans work
and the work of a great man.
When she went to Vassar col
llege from her home in Elmira, N
Y, she became interested in the
course in sociology. She was one
of the most attractive girls in her
class, but she disregarded all So
cial temptations, and as soon as
she graduated she went out into
the world to find out how she
could help to make 1t better. She
took up the work with the Russell
Sage foundation.
She went to Pittsburg and stud
led the workmen there. She found
that employers were not caring for
injured employees. By living in
the homes of the toilers she gain
ed vast information regarding this
evil that shed new light on the
terrible conditions which existed
in the great city of furnaces and
rolling mills. A pamphlet which
she published on this theme at
tracted general attention.

THE FROG AND THE PRINCESS

Many years ago there lived a
king who had one beautiful
daughter. One day the princess
went into the garden and seated
herself beside the fountain to rest
AS she leaned over to splash her
hands in the cool spray her gold
en- crown fell off and disappeared
beneath the water. She was cry
ing bitterly when she heard a
voice saying: why do you weep,
pretty maiden?"
She looked toward the fountain
and saw an ugly green frog gaz-
ing up at her.
81 am crying because my crown
has fallen into the water" she re-
piled.
20, can get your crown for
you," answered the frog; "but
only upon one condition. which Is
that you marry me-"
Eyes, of course she said. 81
will marry you If you will find
my crown and return it to me-"
The frog disappeared under the
water, but soon came back carry
| ing the crown in his mouth. He
threw 1t one the grass at the prin-
cess feet, at the same time re-
Winding her of her promise.
80, I do not like to marry a

In great contrast to the huge
mass of false hair worn by women
in the early summer is the new
head contour of those who seek to
set the styles. In this instance,
success has been theirs, for right
is on their side and has aided
them.
Large rats. rolls and puffs are
surely things of the past, but
small rats are still necessary to
the woman with little hair who
wishes to look well. Even in such
instances, however, the rat is alb
sent entirely from the top of the
head, where the ugly pompadour
used to be, and worn only behind
the ears and in the back.
Very few shell ornaments are
worn nowadays, black velvet

good look at this picture, and go

THE
GOLDEN
NAME

The trouble with young Mr..
Stevens was not in the locating
q wealthy uncle to be named
after. but in choosing between a
host. At the time of the young
mans arrival upon this mundane
globe. there were no less than
seven disgracefully rich Stevenses.
And the pinkish persons own
parents. John and Lucia Stevens,
were poor as any church mouse.
1t was the young. pink fellows
one golden chance. But right
there the trouble came. Which
of the golden seven would most
appreciate plump, pink name
sake was matter Of the gravest
doubt. The Stevenses resorted to
desperate measures.
Invitations to the christening
were sent to the seven old gentle
men. who dwelt all the way from
Amoskeag, in Maine. to the valley
OF the San Joaquin. In each of
the seven invitations a strong hint
was extended that the recipient

LABOR VIEW Of
HUTCHINSON |

The statement is being circulated
that Senator Hutchinson has an
army of paid boosters, working In
his mayoralty campaign. With the
possible exception of the last gener-
al city election there has not been
in the history of the city candi.
date who has received so much vol
untary support as Mr.. Hutchinson
is receiving in the present cam
paign.
Many workingme mare giving him
their time without thought of remu-
neration, and this applies also to
men in every walk in life.
The support given him by labor
ing men whether organized or not
is due to an appreciation on their
part of the efforts of Senator Hutch
inson in behalf of the working peo-
pie as a member of the legislature.
The senator has introduced more
legislation having for its object the
betterment of political conditions
for the farmers, wage earners and
common people as a whole than
any other citizen of the state.
1t is also true has has voted for
more good laws than any other man
who has been a member of the leg
islature.
The man on the street knows
these things and fully appreciates
the situation.
The fact that 100000 will be
expended by the city during the
next two years, makes the election
of a mayor q matter of great i'm
portance to the workingmen OF the
city. They do not want such an
other administration as the present.
They feel the public moneys should
be expended among men who are
citizens, and want to be reasonably
| certain the man who will be mayor
will protect both the taxpayer and
wage-earner in this respect This
to a large extent accounts for the
support being given Mr.. Hutchin-
son in the present fight. The wage
earners know their interests will be
given properc consideration by him.
In view of the fact that under the
present administration nearly all
public improvements have been car
ried on by foreigners, the appeal OF
Mayor Moore for support for Mr..
Fassett. as the logical man to carry
out Ibis policies" is causing con-
siderable discussio namong citizens
who have been the chief sufferers
by the mayors foreign policy"

water in a system of pipes so it
can be drawn in each room from a
spigot, the same as ordinary city
water.
All Of the furniture, including the
doors and other trimmings of the
rooms, is of mahogany-Honduras,
Mexico, Cuba and Africa all con-
tributing to this display of fine
woods. Altogether, there are 2,105
pieces of furniture in the building,
the whole expenditure for this
faeture, including rugs, amounting
to $S8,444.35.
The entire work was executed
under a system of separate con-
tracts, and almost every section of
the country had part in the con-
struction or the furnishing of the
building.
In the lower part of the struc-
ture is a large kitchen consisting
of eight rooms, all fitted with the
most modern appliances and with
tiled walls. Everything is electri-
cally fitted, even the ice cream
freezer and the dish washer being
run by electricity.
Also, on the ground floor, is a
wonderful bathing room, with COM
modious individual apartments for
each senator, fitted with hot and
cold spray attachments, lined with
marble and with luxurious furnish
ings in keeping with the rest of the
establishment. A barber shop is
conveniently near, and there is a
telegraph office. a telephone office,
and post Office on the floor above.
The building itself is of marble
on a granite base. 1t consists of
three large wings, with a court be-
tween, the combined frontage of
the and court facades being nearly
