PETTICOAT CAFE SUCCESS.
Swiss Women Cater to Palates of
Their Men Folk.

GENE|VA March

correspondence OF Inc star.
GENEVA, March II. 1918
In the village of Plona. Canton of ST
Gall, the men petitioned the local authori-
ties recently to open cafe where they
could obtain drinks and pass a pleasant
evening. The women folk, however
strongly objected and the affair was
dropped. The men, in revenge, conse-
ouently visited the cafes in the neighbor-
ing villages and made a point of return
ing home late at night. The women of
Piona then petitioned for the establish
ment of a cafe under their management
giving ample financial and moral guar
antees. and the petition was granted.
The cafe was launched by the women
of the village and kept under their con-
troll. Good drinks and food were sold at
little over cost price, and the farmers
daughters took it in turn to wait on the
customers once a week. and everybody is
so we'll served that there have been no
more excursions to other villages and
midnight returns. The cafe is closed at
IL pm, and nobody who has had a glass
too much is allowed another drink. The
"petticoat cafe as il is ncknamed. is a
distinct financial success. because the
women give their services free and buy
the best in the cheapest market and at
the lowest possible price.

PARIS, March Is, 1913.
On the ground that her rent and the
necessities of her station in life de-
mand it, the Countess of Pierredon, the
bearer of one of the oldest names in the
French nobility, is suing her two sons for
an annual allowance of $4,000.
The countess finds that her revenue no
longer permits her to live up to the tradi-
lions of her lineage. In view. therefore,
of the Increased cost of living and the
fact that those against whom she claims
are the grandsons and sole legatees or
Michael Pashe, formerly director general
of Turkish lighthouses, she does not con-
slider $1,000 each an exaggerated amount.

Handclapping for Her.

Mrs. Wilson and her friends stayed on
the White House portico until noon, when
she walked to where she could overlook
the entire grounds and glanced around.
There was a wave of handclapping, and
she smiled again and again, and bowed
and waved her handkerchief. She then
went into the White House. She seemed
to enjoy the fun thoroughly. 1t was the
first time many Neutrality-suspicious. had had
a good opportunity Of seeing her. and
many remained looking at her until she
went in.
Many of the children and their parents
carried lunches with them to the White
House grounds, and soon after 8 o'clock
the fun was in full swing. The ''kiddies"
romped and played all kinds of games.

Grass Smooth as Velvet.

The grass was smooth as velvet. and
the small hills in the grounds afforded
the best opportunities for rolling eggs.
Many of the children could not resist the
temptation to eat their eggs, and soon
many of the faces were covered with diff

rabbits and candy eggs, and they fore
gathered in small groups. irrespective of
former friendships, and snapped" treas

At the Zoo and in Rock Creek Park
many hundreds of children and picnl,.
parties gathered and spent the day. Many
of them carried lunches.
AT Rosalie playground the very small
children celebrated the dav by rolling
eggs. Noel House will have an Easter
egg hunt this evening beginning at =
O'Clock. The eggs will be hidden in the
grounds and then the children will romp
out to find them. Elaborate preparations

CLEAR SPEAKING TAUGHT
WILSON BY HIS father
President Attributes His Ability to
Express His Thoughts to
Tutelage at Home.

The father of President Wilson is given
credit by his distinguished son for any
power of clear expression he may display
on the political platform or elsewhere.
AS a boy Woodrow Wilson found him
self frequently checked in his form oil
speech by his father because he failed to
make his meaning clear. Father VIII
son would direct him to shape his thought
in his mind before giving it utterance
The tendency to speak without proper
consideration was long a trait of the boy
youth and young man. 1t was conquered
only by the persistent effort of his father
through all their life together until
Woodrow Wilson left home.
Conveys Fullness Of Thought.
He learned through this constant cor
rection the correlation of idea and word
and developed a power of speaking which
if not exactly oratory, is plain speech
conveying the fullness of the thought in
his mind. SO that no man goes away las
one hungry from the table"
The President does not believe that his
experience as schoolma ster and class
room lecturer has anything to do with
this power of his. 1t may have helped
him in the practice of the talent, but
was not its source

TRADE BOARD IS TOLD
Of VOCATIONAL BUREAU
Prof. BIumenthal Appears Be.
fore Executive Committee
to Advocate Plan.

The value of the vocational bureau and
| the need of such an institution in Wash
| ington were explained to the members OF
| the executive committee of the Board OF
Trade today by Prof. Gustav Blumenthal,
| who has been instrumental In the estab-
lishment of bureaus of this nature in sew
eral American cities.
."There is one great defect in the school
systems of this country said Prof.
Blumenthal. You spend great deal of
time educating young boy or girl, out
lose all track of them a soon as they
graduate They are not aided In select
ing the vocation best suited for them.
This work is done by the vocational ou-
reau. 1t sees that the right man or Wom-
an is in the right place
Prof. Blumenthal said he believed much
good can be accomplished by such bu-
reau in Washington. He called attention
to the fact that there are few industries
here and that as the result q large per
centage of young men and women OF TINS
city seeking employment turn to the civil
service.
As to Civil Service.
''The civil service is an excellent place
for certain people who are fitted for that
kind of work, but entirely unsuited for
Others" said Prof. Blumenthal. The
civil service kills ambition. and for that
reason the ambitious young man or wom-
an who will be successful in other lines
of endeavor should not be permitted ITO
enter the governments service
On the motion of Secretary Eynon. the
president of the Board of Trade was au-
thorized to appoint a committee to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of urging the es-
tablishment of vocational bureau IN
this city Prof B.umenthal promised
tons and furnish all possible data re-
lating to the matter.
The president of the board also was
authorized to appoint delegates to rep
resent the organization at the national
conference on city planning at Chi
cago May 81 and the Mohonk con-
ference on International Peace at Lake
Mohonk, May 14-16 The president and
secretary also were authorized to send
a letter to each member of the Board
of Trade calling attention to the ap
peal sent out by the Associated Chart
ties for funds with which to carry on
it's work.
DR. Frank f. Gibson. a member of
the executive committee, called atten
ton to the fact that Saturday, May "a,
has been selected for the date of the

In the White House grounds at the Zoo,
in Rock Creek Park and almost wherever
there was bit of green sod the
"kiddies' gathered to romp and play and
roll eggs.
Mrs Woodrow Wilson and the wives of
President Wilson's cabinet members
joined in the general homage to the chill
dren With the Misses Wilson and a
number of others. Mrs. Wilson watched
the fun in the White House grounds for
more than an hour this morning from the
south portico of the Executive Mansion,
and several times waved her hands to the
crowd below.
President Takes a Look.
Tine President was so busy with callers
during the morning that he was unable
to get out to see the fun, but expected to
get out some time this afternoon. He took
several short looks at the children from
the windows of the executive offices and
smiled brightly at the scenes he saw.
The White House grounds We're open
from O'Clock this morning until $3.50
o'clock this afternoon. People curious
to catch a glimpse of the new occupants
of the White House added to the
crowd which always goes with the chill
dren to the grounds. 1t was estimated
that at least 1900 children, with about
1000 "grown-ups," enjoyed the fun dur
ing the morning.
Only adults accompanied by children
were admitted, but some young urchins
did a thriving business by hiring them
selves out as sons at quarter apiece
to enable "grown-ups" to gain admis-
sion. Several thousand people who
could not get in the grounds gathered
about the iron fence and looked over
at the sport
