'srhe Musical Scale of Life was
the subject OF the lecture delivered
at Wallace Hall under the auspices of
the Contemporary yesterday after
noon by Professor Francis Ii. Green,
instructor In English in the Vest
chester Normal School, Westchester,
| Pa.
! The musical scale Of life, Professor
Green showed, Is made up of the
scales of c., d, e, +, G5 A, B and c,
standing for cleanliness Digestion
/ education, force, gladness, aspiration,
J benevolence and Christian character,
1.-THE bye and bye isn't going to be
so sweet as it might be unless people
help to clean up the now and now
| and the here and here continued the
speaker. discussing the first scale.
And what a potent part digestion
plays In the scale. II there were
fewer poorly fried steaks and fewer
soggy potatoes there would be more
music IN life. Blessed are the cook
Ing schools and the cook books. The
stomach Is the secretary of tho in
| terror, you know, and II that Is out OF
order the entire commonwealth is up
set "
In discussing the third scale, educa-
ton, the speaker pointed out that con-
fession of ignorance Is one step to-
ward learning. He urged his hearers
to become acquainted with the great
books of the world. especially books
on poetry, and to learn from nature,
and he emphasized the Importance of
command of the English language
Il ut IRE into your work or put your
work into the fire" he said. There
are three classes of people. The first
goes ahead and does things, the Sec
ond sits and wonders why they are
not done and tho third sits and
oriticises those who are doing their
best
"The fifth scale of life, gladness, puts
sprightliness into the music of life"
he continued. THE sixth, aspira-
tion, uplifts the music, and the sew
enth, benevolence, shows that no man
lives with himself alone, that all lives
are interdependent. And let me add
that the best time to be benevolent
to people is while they are living, not
after they are dead. You know some
one has said that a pound of taffy
is worth ton of epitaphy. And the
last scale, Christian character, rounds
out this music OF life and assures us
of its full perfection in the life to
come"
The president, Mrs. Henry II. Daw-
son, presided.
In this age of bright lights, NOV
ing picture parlors, concert and dance
halls, hotels, restaurants, cafes, rath-
slzellers, theatres, resorts of various
kinds, joy rides and fast living gen.
orally, all offering relief from the
nervous tension of the daily grind,
privations and hardships, enticing
and Turing the youth from both the
attractive and the unattractive home,
the tendency is all toward the de-
struction of family life. and the po-
! iicewoman of a city, invested with
| full police authority, can protect and
aid In safeguarding the honor of our
young women and children" said
| Miss Edna Annette Beveridge, of Bal
| timore, Md, the Trainer of the police
woman bill of Maryland.
Miss Beveridge, who addressed q
meeting yesterday afternoon at the
| Y. w. c. A., So Washington street
under the auspices of the legislative
| department of the State Federation
| of women's Clubs. explained how the
| work of women in such capacity Is
In the nature of preventive, protec-
| tive and corrective effort. The police
| power given them, she said, will en-
| force recognition and command such
| respect as TO make 1t possible to pre-
| vent and detect crime and save from
worse consequences and will inspire
| more immediate attention to their adj
vice. suggestions and warnings.
1.-THE status of the whole depart
ment Is undergoing an evolution to-
wards a higher idea of plans and
purposes and the public mind is be-
ginning to grasp the real intent and
aim of police SYSTEM" she con-
tinued. Because In the past in large
cities the police department has beer
used for purposes of intrigue, cor
ruption and graft. and those having
been appointed to such positions, IL
| many instances, have been the willing
tools of des gning and unscrupulou'
| men Is no more reason to condemn
the object for which the department
was created and the title by which
it's officers are known than 1t would
be to condemn as undignified the it'll
| of Congressman or Senator, because
of the political corruption in which
some member of the Senate or thu
House of Representatives might b.
entangled."
She explained that women realize
more fully than do men the dangeroul
import of the unrestricted actions o
boys and girls on the street and tn,
| fact that the downfall of women Il
of more vital import to her future lif'
than is that of man. Thousands o.
girls could be turned back and saved
she said, were the proper women t.
supervise the stations and wharvei
and care for young girls coming to tn
