A Glance at Current Topics and Events

Sandusky. o., Nov. %. - The rest
room" idea adopted in this city through
the efforts of philanthropic women las
proved SO popular and the demands
for this convenience have increased to
such an extent that it's promoters have
devised means to raise funds for an
other building in the heart of the city,
the lease on the one now in use eXpir-
ing next April. The rest room was
suggested by the crowds coming into
this town, which is the county seat Of
Erie county, who had no place to rest
while doing their trading. With 500,

ting out paper issued only one day
and selling at 10 cents q copy, the
project took shape. Rooms for the
purpose in mind were rented at low
figure in the downtown district, and
furniture and other articles of con-
venience were contributed. People
were invited to come. to bring their
children, and bring their lunches and
use the individual tables supplied in
the dining room. No charge was made
for using them. School children clerks,
factory girls were welcomed and urged
to make use Of the rooms. Sandwiches
and coffee We're served to those who
wished them, the charge made being
the only source of income, aside from
voluntary contributions.
Then says Mrs. c. D. Peck of the
Rest Room association, 1--WE began to
grow. Some one wanted little more
lunch. Some one wanted dinner, some
rooming' people wanted just a cup Of
coffee and piece Of toast for break
fast until now three meals are served
daily on the self serving plan by
corps Of willing workers. and the finan-
cial support Is no longer worry.
1--WE hope to make enough to pur-
chase and support a home for girls
and women in the resident part Of the
city. But we must get our first build
ing paid for first and are working
hard toward this end. In our new
building, which we shall go into on
April 1, we expect to conduct an in
formation bureau which will find posi-
tons for girls and suitable rooming
places for women strangers. We also
hope to have a public bathroom to
which mothers may take their little

whom he always refused 10 make

For almost century he has been
leader among his people. but wiser
than other chiefs. he early realized
that the red man was doomed and al
every opportunity he counseled peace
with the palefaces.
He could well afford TO do so, for his
people knew he was no coward.
Il have never killed a white man.

Sitting Elk is a total abstainer. He
smokes cigarettes. but insists be mas
none OF the other bad habits OF the
white man. He is childless. the last OF
his line. but he expects to live for
many years more-to be hale AND
hearty long after he has passed the
century mark.
Sitting Elk moves tall and stately
among his kinsmen. and puffs his pipe
with complacency unruftied ol
thoughts OF any immediate journey tS
the happy hunting grounds.
Bright Of eye. keen of mind. the Ole
