NEWLANDs BIZ

George H. Maxwell, leading national
authority on drainage and regulation
work, addressed the City club Saturday.
He urged the club to support the New
lands bill now pending in congress, pro-
yiding for board Of river regulation to
control the flow Of navigable rivers and
to provide flood presentation and pro-
lection. Mr.. Maxwell declared that he
had no fight to make on the leyee syss
tenn, but insisted that the levees must
be supplemented by headwater control
OF the Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi
rivers by stoppage reservoir. He said
no amount OF leyee building in itself
will afford guarantee against floods
should the waters Of three great streams
descend at once from Cairo to the gulf.
The club, by resolution, went on rec
ord as favoring the Newlands bill, and
committee OF five will be named to
give publicity to the measure.
An echo Of the throttling Of the report
Of the club committee on street railway
franchise two weeks ago came up by
the introduction OF an amendment to
the bylaws by Edwin Lehman Johnson,
II provided that no one be allowed to
vote on questions before the club, unless
he has attended previous meetings, at
which the subject had been discussed.
A vote on this question will be taken
next meeting.

Portable, contented, and happy, and are
Developing toward true manhood and
true womanhooa. They cannot, how
ever, have the best and truest happi-
ness, nor be making their. rightful nor
NAL growth, unless each one renders
some service toward the home-making
and housekeeping. That monster, self
ishness, gets strong grip on aboy

by and sees his mother chop the kind

up his clothes, books and traps when
ever and wherever be chooses to drop

pitied. We fear, too, for the girl who
leaves her room for mother to care for,

mother stands for hours washing and

LOVE RULES THE HEART.

Loving parents have right to expect
the expressed affection Of their children,
young 81 old This is found very nat
uralIy ID the little child, but is too often
lost and forgotten in later years. There
may be that love and respect deep cher
ished in the heart, and still showing
forth in obedience and service, perhaps,
but the little affectionate word is not
spoken; the cares or kiss is bestowed
less frequently if at all, and, should
distance separate the love-laden letters
come far apart. Many are the heart
aches that would never be II we were all
more thoughtful ia these little things
these little acts Of living love. This
sad failure is often plainly marked
when old age has come; when the once
loving and affcctionate boys and girls
are grown men and women, and haye
become absorbed with the work, cares,
and affairs Of their own busy lives.
The aged father or mother 50 often

wrung with pity, and we are stirred
with indignation when we see a child

we should so feel. But let us not pass
indifferently by the white-haired father
or the care-worn mother, waiting pa
