tinental Hall tomorrow night. DIR. Scott
Nearing of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. will speak on the Child" and

The government was urged by Miss
Fanniebelle Curtis of New York. at an
open meeting of the union at Memorial
Continental Hall last night TO pay more
children. She said that the compulsory
education laws should be extended to in
clude all children between the ages of
four and eight years old The govern
ment now pays more attention to the pos
sibilities of wheat culture and to the wei
fare of cattle than il does of children,
she declared.
Miss Curtis opposed the plan now in
force in some cities of forcing kinder
garten teachers to hold two sessions a
day. This is not the rule in the District.
Such a system is akin to sweatshop meth
DDS. she said. Speaking of the problem
of the kindergarten i'm large cities, she
said that in New York there was such
lack of kindergartens that $1,000 chill
dren are forced to play in the streets At
least 1.116 additional kindergartens are
needed in the metropolis. she declared.
Must Look to Health.
Some Hopes and Fears for the Kin
dergarten Movement was the subject
discussed by Miss Patty s. Hill of New
York. She said that the kindergartens
must pay more attention to health aues-
TONS because OF the growth OF the fresh
air movement. The kindergarten move
ment. however. she said. is growing
steadily, and with the addition of some
needed reforms. Is destined to play a
large part in lettering the world.

cussed by Miss Susan l.. Blow OF Gaze
novia. n. Y, who hailed the great Ger
man as the founder OF the kindergarten
movement. Kindergarten associations and
| clubs In all parts of the United States
and foreign countries bear his name
Miss Blow said he had revealed the true
key TO the teaching Of young children.

cat in the show, may be described as
the ideal cat at which the fanciers
have been aiming for years. Louis
Vain, who was judging, has never
seen it's equal. Its redness is not
marred by one speck or suspicion OF
white. It's eyes are alternate circles
of light red and dark red, just as its
coat is alternate streaks of the two
shades.

Mr.. Vain, have we seen such per
lection of shading as number of the

they can only be judged by pure day

The cult of the cat is growing.
Never have exhibitors gone to such

Boy Scouts Like Knights Of Old.

Boy Scouts Like Knights OF Old.
When good King Arthur ruled, boys
were trained for knighthood, says a
writer in the Christian Herald. This
began when they were seven or eight
years of age. Their first course was
when they gave seven or eight years
OF constant attendance and waiting
upon a master and mistress. They
were taught religion and morals and
love by the chaplain. They were
taught to walk as soldiers, and to ride
as brave hunters. They were accus-
toned to military exercises and ath-
letic sports. They voluntarily suf-
fered heat and cold, hunger and thirst,
fatigue and sleeplessness in order that
they might become hardened. When
between fifteen and sixteen years OF
age the pages" became "squires," and
in the ordinary course of chivalrous
education "knighthood" was reached
in early manhood There is much il
the Boy Scout movement Of today thai
reminds us OF the training for knight
hood. The solemn promise made b.
a Boy Scout at his initiation is Il will

man or beast, and a brother to every

MELISSA WOULD NOT JOIN THE
ARMY,

He seems to be very nice sort of
a man." remarked Mrs. Merriwid's
maternal maiden aunt Jane, "and as
the wife of an army officer you would
have a certain social position, you
know. I'm not sure that | dislike the
idea, Melissa"
Il suppose it's worth considering"
said Mrs. MerriWid, refectively. He
looks very we'll in his uniform, too,
especially the full dress one. At the
same time, sweetheart, l might get a
colonel on the governors staff, if /
gave my mind to it, and have some
thing that was sure enough prismatic
with ostrich feathers thrown in and
none of the disadvantages of the mil
itary career. And a governors col
onel or a Uniform Rank Potentate of
Pocatello can be bank president or
successful soap manufacturer in pri-
vate life, which also gives a certain
social position and allows one to keep
a hired girl and some shreds of rep
utation.''
Il don't think / quite understand
that last allusion, my DEAR" said Aunt
Jane.
That's because you had that attack
of neuralgia and couldn't go to the
Post with me-" explained Mrs. Merri-
wild. "You see, dearie, we of the
army are one big family and we know

around, the Mercury struck an edged
stone and lost tire with sharp re-

side, and Floyd ran back to pitch tie

They worked rapidly, both for prac-
tice and from force of habit. The
Duplex roared past at a leisurely gait,
while they were busy, its driver wav-
ing a hand in sympathetic greeting.
Floyd paused to wave a response, and
presently the Mercury sped after its
rival.
Before ten o'clock they had lost an
other tire.

Stanton, when he again drew up be-
fore the repair pit.
The harassed assistant manager
shook his head, exhibiting sheaf OF
yellow kilograms.

company telegraphs that they sent the

"The freight car must have been
left in the New York yards, instead OF
being sent out here" deduced Stanton
exasperatedly.

Floyd suggested.

There was a hotel nearby, which
Mr.. Green made his headquarters, and
where Stanton and Floyd chose to
stay. A good many Of the other driv-
ers and officials also remained for that
night.

It was not an emotional meeting, but
both men were content. Stanton had
felt the thrill of relief and pleasure
upon seeing his mechanician which
surprised him into recognition of how
much uneasiness the incident of the
night before had caused him.
