CLUBS AND SOCIETY
Various Happy Occasions Among
Town and Country Folk. -.

Mrs. Willis S. utterback entertain
ed at a one o'clock luncheon Friday
lat her home, "Justamere Home" 90i
IA avenue East. The guests were seat
ed at small tables, when carried out
the golden tint of autumn in their ar
Itistic decorations. The graduated
yellow shades OF autumn blossoms
and leaves centered the tables and
mantle. Hand,painted place cards,
with a gold 'jack-olantern" embell.
fishing them denoted the places of the
eighteen guests. The gloom outdoors
seemed to add warmth TO our hearts
and tongues. Each one talked as II
it was their last chance" to ever
say a word. All ..inds and colors of
fancy work were examined and dis
cussed. The most delightful after
noon was brought TO close with a
contest, when was won by Mrs. +. K
Taylor with the assistance of sew
eral other ladies', for which she re-
ceived a book of poems, and in ac-
cepting which she made a fluent and
lengthy speech.
The monthly social of the Congre-
gational ladies met Friday afternoon
with Mrs. H. H. ROsebrook. 1t was
an afternoon of unusual interest ow-
ing to the fact that it was announced
as Barrel Social" The unique in
vitations, i'll barrel shape, were de-
signed and executed by Mrs. e. o..
Chinn and daughter Grace. The de-
corations were beautiful autumn fol-
iage and the committee assisting Mrs.
Rosebrook consisted of Mrs. Charlie
Johnson, Mrs. John Gilmore, Mrs.
David Eckenbom and Mrs. c. A. Will
Jams, served delicious refreshments.
There is no longer any question as to
the industry of the Bees" and Ants"
| for they brought to the social literally
! barrels tull of money. The barrels
had been distributed in April and
when the money was counted they
were found to contain ever $3.50, with
several barrels yet to be turned in.
Various methods were pursued to win
these dollars. Most of them were ac-
tually earned by some kind of work
or skill. One woman's barrel con-
tanned several dollars as the result of
denying herself candy, ice cream
and gum"
| The Bees" were the victors in the
! friendly contest by several dollars,
but as the funds are all to be used
for the same purpose, that of paying
for the new carpet, the Ants" rejoice
in the success of their competitors.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-That $4,000
deaths due to alcohol occur annually
in the United States was the conclu-
sion reached here by DIR. Edward Bun
nell Phelps, editor of the American
Underwater, in an address before the
International Congress Of Hygiene and
Demography. =" '@+~.-
These figures are confined to adult
deaths and constitute five per cent. of
the deaths of people of all ages in
this country. Ets'
First Serious Estimate"
The speaker stated that these fig
ures were the result of the first seri-
GUS attempt ever made in this country
to reduce to specific figures the num-
Der of victims alcohol claims every
year in America. There have been
many so-called estimates" said Doc
tor Phelps, by people who were preju-
diced either on one side or the other,
but these were merely "guesses." For
instance, some of the prohibitionist
actuaries had put the number of, al
coholic victims in the United. States
up to $4,000 a year. These figures
Mr.. Phelps denounces as absurd"
Twenty Per Cent. Women.
or these deaths from alcohol Mr..
Phelps figures that about twenty per
cent. of them are women.
DR.. John Constas of Greece took up
the consideration of sanitary ques-
tons concerning the immigrant in his
own country and in the United States.
Doctor Constas said that all nations,
especially those which are sending i'm
migrants to the United States, should
enact laws compelling each immigrant
to undergo thorough physical exam
ination by one of the physicians of
his community before his departure,
furnishing him with a certificate of
health countersigned by the mayor or
some other municipal authority.
Doctor Constas also suggested that
screens for the doors and windows OF
houses occupied by people too poor
to buy them should be furnished free
by the city. This he regards as a
preventive measure of the greatest
importance.
154,373 Babies Slain. -
"In America, with characteristic
disregard of our natural resources, we
have not protected and conserved our
child life" was the declaration of Miss
Clara d. Noyes, general superinten'
dent of training schools of Bellevue
hospital, New York city.
"In the United States in 1910 there
were l54,373 babies who died before
they we're one year old. ...,
in facing this appalling early
slaughter of the innocent" said Miss
Noyes, I'VE cannot ignore a single
contributing factor. The conclusion
seems to lie in intelligent mother
hood, and we are aware that so per
cent. of all the births are attended by
a class of untaught and unframed
women who as a rule are densely ig'
norant and uIspeakably dirty. We are
neglecting at the fountain head the
health and possible wealth of our ma
ton"

Geor get own.

The annual rumor has been
started that the G. & S. railroad
will run only one train day each
way between Deaver and Silver
Plume. 1t is hardly possible that
such action will be taken and it
will have to be seen in order to be
believed. If the train should
leave Denver in the morning and
return in the afternoon, it would
mean that the people of Clear
Creek would have to leave one
afternoon and not return until
the second morning in order to
transact any business in Denver.
If it should run down in the
morning and back in ihe afteanoon
it would equally .disscommode
those who have business in Silver
Plume, Georgetown, Empire,
Lawson, Dumont and Idaho
Springs for they wovld haye to
r main over two nights and day
to transact business. 1t does not
seem possible that the railroad
authoaities would be so short
sighted as to inaugurate such a
move and it is hoped the matter
is only rumor. Such a change
would create indignation all along
the line as it would interfere ma
terially with business and mining
affairs.
