COOPERATION IN HOME WORK
Pihy
That Young and should Unde stand

Attractiyely Illustrated from per-
sOnal observation, and clinched with
unique argument, the above topic was
presented by Mrs. NJ. NJ. Bangs, wife
of the former assistant superintendent
of public instruction, to the Illinois
Farmers Institute at Rockford. Here
are some of the fragments:
Home is the first great battle ground
between individualism and cooper
alton, and the conflict between these
two principles makes the battle OF the
ages. The underlying question is,
How much can | get FOR myself, how
much must | give up for the good of
others" Each must know what are
his duties as well as his privileges.
In Shoe Factory.
In large shoe factory | visited, one
person took the measures, another
copied them in book, some worked
on Innings. some on uppers, some on
heels. some at the wonderful pegging
machine; some were putting buttons
on The shoes. some putting i'll lacing
and still others boxing and labelling
the finished product. We did not have
a glimpse of the manager, but no one
supposed that he was not doing his
share of the work because he was not
working with his hands. and not once
did we hear, Were helping the man.
ager out little with his work, were
doing this TO accommodate him."
I'm The new home the woman is able
TO do all the work of the house and
she does it; possibly the man is doing
all the outside work himself But now
there are three, four. five-an ever
growing household with many and
varied interests. Whoever does any
work in the house is said to be help
ing mother
Personal and General Work.
When mother gets breakfast only a

small part OF that is her personal
work; she is getting breakfast for IA
Their and all the rest; it is just as much
their work as it is hers. 1t is best
that mother should get the meal for
all, but remember it is not her work,
but work for ALL
Taking care of her own health, per-
son, room and little children, counsel
ing and comforting all, is her personal
GCd-given work, and any one who
helps her in this is helping mother"
indeed; but there is no more reason
why mother should be held account
able for all the general drudgery of
the home than that the manager of
the store should sell all the calico
| with his own hands.
Where Cooperation Comes in.
While, for convenience, mother gets
the breakfast for all. why in return
should not others do some of the gen
eral work, not for her, but for all?
Everyone who enjoys the privileges Of
| the home is under obligation to earn
his board and lodging This is good
idea 10 put into the minds of boys and
girls before hard world finds ii
necessary to knock it in.

they who share the joys and comforts
of the home should share its sorrows
and discomforts. Upon occasion moth
er has gone from the kitchen to the
field. the barn or the office to help
, father out: why should she not? That
is cooperation. The time may come
when the need for cooperation is in
the home. But the man says, Il hate
house work and will fuss all the time
am doing it," What you like has
nothing to do with the case, and
you're baby if you fuss But an,
other SAYS, Il do not know how to dc

Deadly and Loathsome Disease

Lake Charles, La. Dl5patch-25th.
Charlton. a deadly and loath-
some disease which affects cattle
and which has killed thousands
of valuable animals in Louisiana,

seat of Cameron parish, eight hu-
mans have been stricken. Up to
date, no deaths have resulted.
Charlton has afflicted cattle for
centuries, but has seldom visited
this country. 1t was known to
the ancients in Egypt and often
scourged theAsiatic and Oriental
countries. 1t is caused by a germ,
which enters the animals skin

Cambridge, Mass, Dispatch, pod.
Charles w. Eliot, President
Emeritus of Harvard, in an ad-

prophesied the advent of a new

It will not be bound by dogma

of action limitless. It's discipline
will be training in the develop
ment of cooper alive good will.
It will attack all forms of evil.
There will be no supernatural
element, it will place no reliance
on anything but the laws of ma
ture. Prevention will be the
WatchWord and a skilled surgeon
one of it's members.
The new religion he said.
will not be based upon author
lty, the future generation is to
De lea, not driven. In the new
religion there will be no personi-
tcatlon of natural objects, nc
dedication of remarkable human
beings.
The new religion will no.
teach that character can be
changed quickly. 1t will not
deal chiefly with sorrow and
death, but with joy and life.
God will be so imminent that
no Intermediary will be needed.
Its priests will strive to improve
social and industrial conditions.
The new religion will not ATTEMPT

ACROSS ENGLISH CHANNEL
A Frenchman, in a White. Wing
ed, Bird-Like Machine, Makes
First Flight Across English
Channel.

Dover, England. Dispatch, 18th.
This sleepy seaport town eXpe-
rienced the keenest thrill IN a
when at sunrise this
a white-Winged, BIZ d.
ike machine with loudly hum
ming motor swept out from the
haze obscuring the sea toward
the distant French coast, and,
circling twice above the high
chalky cliffs Of Dover, alighted
on English soil. A calm French
man, Bleriot, a portly and red
mustached man of 80, descended
from the saddle, limping on a
bandaged foot, which had been
burned on his previous overland
flight.
Immediately two compatriots,
who had been waving a big
French flag as signal for the
landing place, fell upon him en-
Enthusiastically, embracing him,
shouting and pounding him On
the back. They, with a few
English soldiers and others who
happened by chance to be on the
scene, were the only persons to
witness the finish of a most re-
markable feature.
Bleriot left Les Baraques,
France, 3 miles from Calais,
about 4:3O a, M, on one of the
smallest monoplanes ever used.
He crossed the channel in a little
less than half an hour, twice as
swiftly as the fastest mail steam
er. His speed averaged more
than As miles an hour, sometimes
it appropriated 60 miles. He
kept about $50 feet above the
sea level and for ten minutes,
while about mid-channel was out
of sight Of both coasts, and alst
of the French destroyer which
followed him, with his wife an(
friends aboard.
The wind was blowing abou
20 miles an hour and the sea wa
choppy. The aviator was swath
ed in a single garment Of drill
ing, impervious to the wind
which covered him from the to-
of his head to his feet, only hi!
face showing. He wore also
cork life belt.
| An eye witness of the landin!
thus describes it:
Very early in the morning
wireless message was receive
from CALAIS that Bleriot intende
to make the flight. Then i
quick succession came the new
that he had left and was fas
making Dover.
Fastening to the cliff, | al
rived there just a moment befor
the airship which was flying fast
like a gigantic hawk. Blerio
Iswooped overhead, glancing fror
right to left, and then turned hi
machine to the east and came
to the ground in the meadow.
circled with consummate, cas-
and made the landing gracefully
but even though it touched tn
land lightly it was slightly dam
aged"
By his achievement toda
Bleriot won the prize of $4,000
offered by The London Dali
Mail for the first flight acros
the English channel, and stol
the march on his rivals, Huber
Latham and Count de Lambert
both Of whorl had hoped to max
the attempt today.
