HEAD OF IMPORTANT DIVISION

Wisconsin's university extension
division has two fundamental aims
to create in all the people a realiza-
ton of their educational need and to
satisfy that need Education by "ex-
tension" does not mean that the labor
ing man is taught Greek and Chaucer,
regardless of his individual want. 1t
does not mean that knowledge is
ground out to him by a souliess ma
chine, but that he is stimulated to
live, in the true sense of the word.
Whether the means of that stimula-
ton be vocational or cultural educa-
ton, the end sought is the same.
In Wisconsin the seemingly impOs-
sible task of making the university a
personal friend of every one in the
state is attempted by means OF we'll
developed organization, headed by DR..
Louis E. Reber, who has been dean OF
the extension division since NoVem-
Der, 1907, and has demonstrated over
and over again his rare executive

choicer cuts.

and the butchers and green grocers
were as spic and span as so many

Playing at their new park before a
crowd of 1000 fans. the Walla Walla
team opened the Western Tri-State
league season in this city yesterday
afternoon with victory over the
Pendleton club by a score of to 1.
The contest was pretty one and the
result was in doubt until the last man
was out in the final inning.
Preceding the game the officials of
the Walla Walla club, together with
the members of the two teams-all of
them in omobiles-paraded on AL
der and Main streets, the procession
being headed by the Walla Walla
band. Afterward they repaired to the
new grounds at Seventh and Rose
where the band rendered a concert
lasting until $3.50, the time for the
starting of the game
The first ball was pitched by May

of the Commercial club being behind
the home plate with ]. c. Scott, pres

AUTO RIDES COMING TO
WORKING GIRLS OF CHICAGO
ClubwOman Urges Owners OF cars
Into Parks and Protect Female Toll
erS from Glasses of Soda Water.


Chicago, Ill.-If the advice of Mrs.
Robert L. Mccall, prominent club
woman, is Needed the working girls
of Chicago will spend their evenings
this summer in speeding over the
boulevards in high power motor cars;
they will drop into the homes Of the
wealthy every once in a while and be
met with a hearty welcome and in
vitations to wait for dinner" they
will drink from super-sterilized soda
water glasses; they will, in short, no
longer be the poor" working girls
Ms. Mccall made these suggestions
to the Woman's club of the Allied
Drug Trade of Illinois.
You women of the wealthy class
ought to devote part of your leisure
to the taking of happiness and protec-
tion into the lives of the working
girls" Mrs. Mccall said.
when you are out driving in the
evenings, keep an eye open in the
direction of the parks. When you
see a girl there, stop your motor and
go to her Take her for a ride
Let every woman here promise to
put some spark of happiness into the
life of some working girl at least
once every day. Take me out with
you in your evening drive or call for
and take her to luncheon"
The campaign for the clean soda
water glasses is directed toward the
physical, rather than the moral up
lift of the girls.
Don't patronize the soda fountains
where glasses and dishes are not
washed in hot water and soda" she
finished. "Thus you soon can force
all the druggists to adopt more san
itary meaturs and make the danger
of disease to the working girl vastly
less"

Brown Wins Game.
Brown, who did the receiving for
Walla Walla in place of Captain
White. who was out of the game on
account of injuries, was the hero of
the contest. 1t was he who led off in
the second inning with slashing
two bagger to right center, afterward
going to third on Swanson's sacrifice
and scoring on Leonard's scorching
single down the third base line. His
star feat, however, came in the fourth
inning. when with two down and two
strikes against him, he lifted the
horsehide over the centerfield fence
for home run, this tally afterward
proving to be the winning run.
In the third session the visitors
scored what proved to be their only
tally when Wensor dropped a Texas
Lacquer into right field, advanced to
second on a passed ball and came the
rest of the way around on Wilson'S
bingle to the outfield
