NEW SECRETARY
 IF '. W. |. A.
Mrs. E. \. Phillips Elected to That Office, Filling a Vacancy That Has EX- isted Since Organization of Association
OBy Mrs. J. L. E. AlexanderD

CBy Mrs. J. l.. E. Alexander)
 It is seldom in the management of an organization having so large a direc- torate as the Young Women's Christian Association that such universal satis
 faction is felt in the selection of general secretary as is apparent amongst the board of directors of the local association in the choosing of Mrs. F. N Phillips to hold that important position. Not oniy is the board of one mind in the choice of Mrs Phillips. but it is safe to say that practically every individual member of the asso- Ciation will be delighted to feel that Mrs Phillips is directly in charge of their interests The association. in spite of the handicap of being without a permanent general secretary, has during the five months of it's existence been growing in efficiency and popu- larity. The cafateria lunch has prov cn popular with the down town girls and daily feeds between 45 and 50, while the rest room privilege is taken advantage of by the general female public. for it is kept open from A.
 M. until P M. and any woman. whether q member of the association or not is at liberty to come in and rest
 The employment bureau has proven of much benefit to both the unem- ployed girl and to the employer seeking help. When it was found impracticable on account of the impossibiHty of se- curing suitable quarters within the means of our limited first years budget to open boarding home which would be adVantageously located to combine with it other features of the association work room directory was inaugurat- ed, which has proven d boon to strang- CTS coming to the city not knowing where to find suitable lodging and who unchaparoned and in the midst of un- familiar surroundings are liable to drift into unsatisfactory and possibly more or less questionable places of residence.
 However much the association has accomplished thus far. there is no uues- tion but what it's usefulness would have been much greater had We been able at the outset tt place in charge a permanent general secretary, but our organization having been effected so near the beginning of summer. when the best general secretaries had all been placed for the year it has been neces-

sary to use what temporary material could be supplied to us from time to time, as secretary. With the prospect of still having to continue indefinitely in the same way, it was thought advis- able and desirable to extend a call to Mrs. Phillips. who has from the open ing of the organization campaign taken a keen and active working interest in the success of the association. and whose religious training, practical mind, sympathy for, understanding of and popularity with the young women of the city renders her particularly well fitted to conduct successfully our as sociation along it's present plans and ultimately to broaden it's work to the point where the public must see our need for suitable building embodying all the features of a well equipped Young Women's Association Already the house committee, under the very able leadership of Miss Bertha Mckee Knipe. is developing plans for a real association building with gym. swim ming pool, cafateria and 50 or 50 bed rooms, which can be run on a nearly self-suppOrting basis
 The only regret of the board of di- rectors in placing Mrs. Phillips in the position of secretary was that they were obliged to lose her as president of the board, but in the election, of Miss Knipe to the presidency. they feel that the association will not be the loser.
 It is planned to organize the religious work committee in the very near fu- ture. under whose direction vesper ser vices will be held regularly. Also aft ernoon and evening classes in differ ent educational branches will be op- ened as the directors see the need and demand for same
 On the whole the outlook for the winters work is bright and with the cooperation of the public. the associa- ton hopes to make itself felt as are undisputable factor of the community. some few of the first years subscrip- uons are still unpaid. and it is earn eStIY hoped, now with the summer va cation over and our winters work be- lore us that all subscriptions will be promptly met. A hearty invitation is extended to the women and girls of the community to visit the headquar- ters at 29 N. Second avenue. where they will be cordially welcomed bv the secretary

Men and Women,

AS times go on we have the two re-

the point-usually early in life-where
business or politics absorbs their
whole attention, and they have little
time, strength or interest left for the

life, while women are prone to be too
much preoccupied with these things.

Arctic Bounty.


The account of the four years stay
of Viljalmar Stefanssen and DR.. An
derson in the Arctic regions Of Amer
lea, during which they made LONG
Journeys alone with nothing to de-
pend upon for living but the hospi-
tally of the natives and their rifles,
furnishes a new illustration OF the re-
markable productiveness of the far
north. Persons are likely to suppose
that it is the tropics which are most
spontaneous in the production OF food
fo- human beings. The fact Is that
the contrast between equatorial and
Arctic regions is not SO very great In
tllic regard. Early explorers OF the
regioG of the upper Amazon found
they must carry supplies or starve
to death. There is game there, but
1t cannot be reached in the jungles
This was the experience OF James Or
ton, the American traveller, and In
his work on the Amazon he recalls
the fate of the mighty Pizarro, who
tried to penetrate that country, but
retreated from it upon diet Of nz
ards, dogs, saddle leather and sword
belts just in time to save his life

tered in much Of tropical Africa. II

had got word that an attempt was to
be made on the Gar, who Is due in
Paris the day after tomorrow, and
that Amaroff was engineering the
whole affair; also the Russian was
making no Roadway, and he knew that
his position was at stake if he failed.
So he got desperate, and took the
game into his own hands. He forced
Greatman to fix a rendezvous, brought
up his men and strangled Amaroff in
the sanded parlor. 1t was smart
thing to do. for no one was likely to
suspect them, especially as heNgave
out that Amaroff was one of his own
officers"

Also the sand must have been on the
floor where he last stood. On the back

with the scales OF mackerel. II my
first proposition was correct, he must
have been carried from the place with
the sanded floor: and the suggestion
was that a fish barrow had been used.

PURE FOOD LAW NOT MODERN
Centuries Ago Tradesmen Who Adut
terated Goods Were Most Severe
ly Punished.

Pure food laws are not quite %
modern an invention as we may be-
lieve. DR.. Reisner has made dlscov'
cries In Palestine that seem to In
dictate some sort of supervision OF the
food supplies delivered to the palace
nearly 5000 We ago. Labels have
been found that were once affixed to
"a Jar of pure olive OIL" We may
wonder what tests were employed and
what would happen to the man whose
oil was found to be not pure. Prob
ably something unpleasant, for there
was no Supreme court in those days.
We know what happened in the mid
die ages to the enterprising tradesman
who adulterated his goods. In 1444
a Nuremberg merchant was burned
alive for mating foreign material with
his saffron and the saffron itself was
used for fuel. Probably that artistic
touch impressed the matter upon his
memory.
Some Augsburg bakers who used
false weights and bad flour were
ducked in a muddy pool, and through
a faulty knowledge of the human re-
spiratory system, or sheer careless
ness, they came to the surface dead.
In 1882 a wine merchant was or
dered to drink six quarts OF his OWL
adulterated wine, and as he died soon
after it Is evident that the adultera-
ton must have been serious. 1t Is
true that he had to finish the draft In
a given number of minutes, and a
small number at that, but in those
days they had pleasant way of
weighing the scales and loading the
dice upon the side of justice.
Civilization has changed all that.
Nowadays we shiver with apprehen-
sion lest, rogue shall be punished
