clal endeavor to make things pleasant
and received the veteran pedestrian in
somewhat fitting shape on his advent
here Twenty or twenty-five tired and
footsore scouts hiked to Winfield on
Thursday night where they met Wes-
ton about o'clock. 1t was all fixed
up by the scouts to receive Weston in
open arms, make a pretty little speech
of welcome to our city," present him
with a bunch of roses and the key to
the city. but 1t was another case OF the
best laid plans of mice and men, etc
for the lads were bitterly disappointed
in their reception of Weston, or rather
his reception of them. Lined up like
soldiers on dress parade the lads pa
tiently awaited Weston's arrival. Upon
his advent the speech maker of the
crowd stepped forward to present his
little spiel" but the old hiker with
only a grunt. "humph" and a nod,
kept right on going. ordered the lads
TO fall in behind and ambled on toward
Crown Point. Nary a word was spoken
by Weston to his twenty or so ad-
mirers on the long three-mile hike to
this city from. Winfield, and tired and
disappointed they left him at the Young
hotel on Nichols street where the
weary old hiker put up for the night.
Certain sure there wasn't any dele
cation of boy scouts on hand yesterday
morning to escort Weston out of the
city on his grind to Hammond and the
scouts avow that when they hike six
miles again to meet some one that they
will stay at home in bed.

Shall Women Be Paras,tes7


+ II women remain at home, depen,

come parasitic. according to the testi,
mony Of both England and America.
II they leave the home they lose the
enormous influence they now possess
in consequence. of their monopoly of
the care of children. In America there
is frequent suggestion that the solu-
tion of the difficulty may lie in elevat-
ing the status of domestic service so
as to make It attractive to college
trained women of the same social rank
as the employer. The solution does
not seem to appeal to English women
strongly. A writer In: the English
woman says: 1--WE ourselves are hope
fuf that a gradual adjustment of con-
vention and public opinion may bring
about the real liberty of women,
whether wives or daughters, in their
husbands or fathers house, and that
the college woman may find 1t aa
pleasant and profitable to care for her
own children as for her neighbors'. :"
And. indeed, 1t may be doubted II any
American woman wouldn't prefer taxi
ing care of her own children to taking
care of her netghbors', other things,
such as economic independence, being

SCHOOL CHILDREN NEED HELP
Figures Given by Expert Show Ap-
paliIno Conditions Prevail Among
the Younger Generation.

DIR. Thomas D. Wood. professor, Of
physical education in the Teachers
rollege In Columbia university, makes
the startling statement that three out
pf every four school children in Amer
lca need medical attention.!
"Of the 100000 school children
In this country" he says, fully rs
per cent. need attention today for
physical defects which prevent good
health, little ailments that can be
remedied."
This is the manner In which the
professor classifles the troubles that
affect these 10000, 900 school children,
banning really 100000, but this is
because the 100000 with bad teeth
are among those that have other all
ments:
-Four hundred thousand have organ
lc heart disease; at least 100000
have or have had tuberculosis; about
100000 have spinal curvature; about
100000 have defective vision; about
100000 are suffering from malnutri-
tion; over. 8,000, 900 have enlarged ton
pills, adenoids, or enlarged cervical
glands; over 100000 have defective
teeth which are interfering with

GOETHE AND THE CHEsTNUTs
Recent Find Of Poets Complaint
Against IN Annoyance That
Ne 8uffered.

Nothing IL more annoying in autumn
khan to have near ones windows q
chestnut tree. the natural target for
the missiles Of youth. Goethe. whose
respect for tho rights OF property was
only eQualled by his love Of law and
order, suffered considerably from this
annoyance. The Munich News has
Dust lighted upon complaint made
by the poet to the corporation Of
Weimar during his stay in that city.
He writes:
" AT the edge Of the field Is row of
Spanish chestnut trees, and as soon as
the chestnuts begin to ripen the chill
dren lombard the trees with stones
without any concern for the passer-
by. Nor do they confine their atten-
tions to the trees In the road. They
throw cabbage and sticks at our fruit

garnering their crop Of fruit. Worse

Goethe never acted precipitately. In
this case he refrained from sending in
bis complaint Immediately, and to add
weight to his representations kept
the letter back till new outrages had
been committed, when he sent it with
this postscript added:
