The Wonderful Y. M e A.

The wealthy people of America, be it said to their credit, give generously to all good causes when they know their gifts will be wisely spent. In the past ten years no other religious organization has received so much money as the Young Mems Christian association. Millions have been raised for new buildings all over the land and with no apparent strain, says Leslie's Weekly. Its business like administration of its vast resources, its energy in pushing it's work-in the cities and through its railroad. army and navy branches-and It's fine policy in fol- lowing the armies in all recent wars have created for it worldwide enthu- siasm.

Put Hats on Your Girls

Various remarks have been heard late ly in the cars and on the business streets of the city upon the number of young girls seen hatless in public places,' said an observant woman the other day.
 Such @ custom is, no doubt, pleasant and not unsuited to the life of small towns or country places, or summer re- sorts in the warm season, but is it not both bad taste and risk of health to go bareheaded on the public streets of a city in indictment weather? Of course the girls like 1t, and no one can blame them for wishing to be free from the unsuit- able Merry Widow headgear offered for the past seasons. But Is it well that they should come out of furnace-heated houses into damp or windy weather ex- posing their heads? The argument is made that European peasants are ex- amples of hatless peoples whose health shows no hurt from the custom-but peasants do not live In steam heated houses Ask ear and throat specialists how much extra practice has come to them since the hatless fad was launched!
 "Then, as to publicity Are not your girls too fine and precious to be seen in this aspect of familiarity with the street? Does it not make them conspicuous? Does it not give the street-corner crowd too close a view of your child? She comes through town on her way from school, radiant. wind-blown, innocent, perhaps, that she is an object of undesirable at- tention. But is she not? Is it not unfit that she should come into such close con- tact with the blowing dust of the street. and under the insolent gaze of persons for whose eyes her beauty was never meant. Our people are careless of the fact that we are no longer an innocent village. We are a city, in more ways than one, and with the city's benefits come its evils and its restraints. There is need of conventionality in manners and of restrictions upon the freedom of our children In public, that they may not be exposed to things they are innocent of or worse. that they do not grow up into carelessness of department and loud ness"

 "Quite,'' I replied, "and I like it tre- mendously. And, by the way, I hear that the Spartanburg festival has requested the opera to be repeated at this years festival.
 ''Yes, that is true. and from that you can judge of its pleasing effect" said Professor Grambs. "The opening chorus if you remember, The Dance of the Reapers,' is a fine number while the tenor solo following, to be sung. I pre- sume by Reed Miller. is charming.

New York Bars Freckles? No!

An unreasoning feminine aversion to freckles has been discovered in New York and it might be interesting to learn how widespread this peculiar sentiment may be among the sex generally. Of cearse, as a personal matter. 1t is easy to under stand a prejudice against freckles. espe- cially among New York women. who are supposed to hold clear complexion in the highest esteem. No lady wants her countenance literally spattered with sun spots. But why should the anti-freckle feeling extend to small boys? A few freckles on a small boy are not supposed to damage him to any extent Many of us have worn frecxles in our extreme youth. with no noticeable effect upon the happiness and prosperity of our after lives. But women in New York have no use for freckled boys.

Think Pleasant Thoughts

When you are dropping off to sleep try to think of something pleasant and don't screw up your eyes and draw down the corners of your mouth, for both these
 habits help to bring wrinkles. But really one needs to think plea asant thoughts in the day time too, says Home Chat
 Pleasant thoughts bring a pleasant ex- pression to the face. which, as the years go on, becomes permanent. The people you meet who have pleasant expressions are the ones who have never allowed hard or unkind or discontented thoughts to find resting place in their minds.

Her Lenten Sacrifice

He went to see her every night, And blew his wages in On candy, flowers, and auto rides, Her maiden heart to win; 'But though his adoration waxed, His love remained untold.

What Is a Home?


 What is a home?
 What is q home for? Peace.
 What do many of us make Il?
 A place for relating trials.
 A place for displaying tempers. A place for being disagreeable. A place for dispute.
 A place for haste.
 A place for fault-finding.
 place for fretting and worrying. place for tears.
 A place for snarls.
 nlace for growing.
 A place for swearing.
 A place for sulking.
 place for meanness. such as none but home companion would forgive for ugli- ness such as none would infict upon a stranger
 Place opposite this: Home, a place for rest, for cheer for warmth. for comfort, for forbearance. place for peace, re- pose; place where the soul may extend toward a nobler. better life. Home! The word itself comes from the San skrit "ksema," meaning abode, place of rest, security.
 Sometimes blessings come to us dis guised as misfortunes.
 Patience is a gift of experience. Sarcasm is a sword without handle. He who wields it must have care that he himself be not cut.

Suit by Power Company

Some speculation has arisen over a
suit filed Thursday in Alameda county
by the Sierra and San Francisco power
cOmpan for a right of way over
the lands of the Spring Valley water
company near Sunol-
The Sierra and San Francisco power
company is the corporate name OF the
concern. formerly known as the Stani-
slaus power company, that will bring
in the electricity to run the cars of the
United Railroads.
The power line crosses the Spring
Valley property, but the parties were
unable TO agree as to the proper COM
pensation, and therefore the suit was
instituted.
The proceedings were directed against
the city Of San Francisco and the Union
trust company as well as the Spring
Valley. The city of San Francisco is
deemed a party in interest by reason OF
its relations with the water company.
The Union trust company is the heav-
Test holder of Spring Valley bonds and

arrested in cheap cottage on Bernal
heights yesterday by secret service
men while turning out counterfeit
coins from a plant that would be cred

coin presses to chemicals, being alto

uncovered by Secret Service Opera

For at least six weeks the three
men, to whom English is still a for
eign tongue, had been perfecting their
plant under the nose of the secret
service. Their experimental coins had
been passed out only to find their way
into the hands of the watchers.

outside to guard against escape, while
AIoffitt and Regan entered through the
unlocked DOOR
The counterfeiters were taken COM
pletely on guard Apparently they
had made no preparations for resist
ing arrest. excepting that Arena car
ried a cheap revolver. He wore also a
star Of the Pacific humane society on
his coat. The other two were un-
armed.

der a sofa. As the men put on their
coats preparatory to entering the
patrol wagon Mrs. Arena came into
the room with her three babies She
did not understand what had happened
and made no outcry.
SMALL COINS INITIATED
A search of the room revealed sill
yer counterfeit money in dimes and
quarters amounting to a few dollars in
value. The coins evidently were ex-
perimental, and both Moffitt and Nye
believe the men were preparinP 10
stamp S. and $40 pieces in silver and
plate them with gold. The dies for
the silver coins were of hard steel.
The outfit, which was removed to
the postoffice building on truck to
be used as evidence, included a large
steel turning lathe, two presses. Of
which the larger weighed more than
300 pounds; two boxes and a bag of
tools for steel work, a melting pot.
