stab Vice and Crime ferociously with
a mouthful of mush. Just forget
Cicero's orations and read this one
of Artha' Burrage Farwen to the
clubwomen of Evanston:
20, women of Evanston, if there
are any of you who serve wine at
your table, I implore you to stop it.
The sawdust floor of the barroom is
no worse than the wine table of the
dining room!"
20, women, if any of you play
bridge whist for prizes, for Gods
sake don't do it any more!
Isn't that fierce? 1t almost tempts
us to get excited, too, and exclaim
with all the eloquence in our midst:
o, Artha' Burrage Farwen! o
fudge! o fiddlestck! o piffle! o.
pajamasi o butterscotch! o cara
mels! o pancakes! o mush!
And by that time we would be so
worked up with righteous Indignation
that we'd gaze horribly at Vice and
Crime, and hurl gumdrops and
marshmallows at the Demon Rum.
P. S.-We almost forgot to say
that Artha' told the ladies that low
wages had no connection with white
slavery.
P. S. No. 2.-Our Hero can now go
back to julius Rosenwald and have
the White Ribbon of Purity pinned on
the lapel of his shirt waist.

and the cost of living increased.
The public pays the cost now
and pays dearly when a working girl,
worn out by toll, falls victim to ex-
haustion and goes to the hospital,
tuberculosis sanitarium or the poor
house.
How much better it would be if the
public, cooperating with the million
aire employers, saw to it that that
girl was paid wage that would en-
able her to get sufficient nourishment
to keep body and soul together, even
if it did raise prices slightly to the
public and cut the dividends of the
employers trifie.
The minimum wage for women
bill must be passed, and l am ready
to go to Springfield to speak for it at

st. l.. Investigated.

A resolution calling upon the Inter
state Commerce Commission to investi-
gate and report on the ownership of the
Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis
Railway and other subsidiary companies
owned by the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad. was introduced yesterday by
Senator Lea Of Tennessee. The methods
and practices Of the Louisville and Nash
vile in attempting to hold a monopoly
in its territory are also to be probed.
AS soon as the information sought Is
obtained" said Senator Lea, Il will
present it to the Department of Justice
There is much fear expressed that the
Tennessee Central Railroad. the only in
dependent railroad in Middle Tennessee,
may be absorbed by the Louisville and
Nashville. but the question is whether the
latter will be permitted to maintain
ownership Of the Nashville. Chattanooga,
and st. Louis Railway and its lease of the
Nashville and Decatur Railroad"
In explaining his resolution, Senator
Lea said that he had drawn 1t several
months ago, but had refrained from in
Producing 1t until he had been advfned
that it was practicable for the Interstate
Commerce Commission to conduct the In
vestigation.

Boys may not take much interest in
dolls and doll houses and furniture, but
d queer sort of boy it would be-take my
work as a princess for it-who wouldn't
like kite, that is, a kite that will really
fly.
Being d princess. ] have Travelled in
many lands, as you must know, and
everywhere / have observed that the
boys take the keenest interest in flying
kites Why, even before balloons and
airships were ever thought of-as fancy
kite flying was a great sport. In China,
grownups like to fly kites, and once
year they have a day set apart for 1t,
when they send up queer kites in animal
and fancy shapes and everybody goes out
10 watch them.
In Holland. the little Dutch boys learn
to fly kites just as soon as they begin
TO notice how their windmills turn in
the wind, and here in these wonderful
United States of America boys have reg
ular kite-flying fevers about once in so
often.
The pattern of this kits which I am
showing you today I got from a kindly
old army officer who used to make kites
for the children wherever he went. Girls
used to fly them as well as boys, and
the colonel used to make them in charm
ing colors-pink. blue, and green-for the
little girls of his acquaintance.
The frame of this kite is made from
two sticks just alike. They are sixteen
inches long and have their other dimen-
sions one-quarter and three-eighths OF
an inch. The middle Of one square stick
is fastened TO the other one, three and
half inches from one end. 1t can be tied
firmly, but to make nice job of 1t
it should first be dovetailed together.
You don't need heavy paper for covering,
but il must be securely fastened to the
midribs, particularly at the ends. where
it is well to put on an extra thickness
of paper. as indicated by the broken lines
II the diagram.
Fasten guiding string of stout Irvine in
the center of the midribs. The tail should
he of slightly coarser Irvine, and into 1t
should be knotted two or three knots of
the cloth about two feet apart Don't
make the tail too heavy or the kite will
drag. Try this, boys, and IL You have
luck make one for your sister IL she
wants one. For / expect all the boys
who are my friends to be real little
knights and always on the lookout to be
full of "'faire courtesies," as the olden
story books say.

Hernits Are Picturesque
But Not Wise or Useful

I that we must borrow that old lantern to
look for the honest man.
Yes, it Is cowardly to be beaten by
one sad trick Of fortune and very poor
philosophy to let one false man or
woman take the sweetness all out Of
ones life.
For fortune has its smiles as well as
its frowns. and maybe the next turn
Of the wheel will stop at a better and
far brighter spot At any rate. 1t Is
the big men and women who refuse to
give up the fight at the first heavy blow.
And when disappointments come in the
friendships and the loves in life 1t is
the wise philosopher who thinks 1t all
over and thinks it all out and makes up
his mind that whatever the blow he will
not succumb. One cannot always help
the disappointments, but one can rise
above them. ..
One n fthe things hard to understand
is why a man ever will run to the
woods and become a hermit because one
woman proves false in her love.
Isn't he philosopher enough to realize.
when the first shock is over, that life
is long and that she is not worth the
sacrifice? For the world is full Of
women who are loyal and true, and one
unworthy person ought not to turn the
current Of a whole life. And It does not.
|if there is any strength in his makeup.
any philosophy to show him some very
true things.
For 1t always seems that instead of
running to the woods. shutting OF all
his hopes and spelling the present and
future, he might far better look out
upon the world OF women and measure
the false and the true.
Perhaps it always would bring an
awakening instead Of a ruined life
