1t is about time the citizens of East
Chicago would get up in arms and
abolish the cement nuisance under
which we are suffering. Carpets. furni-
ture draperies and floors are being
ruined, not saying anything about the
health Of the people. The housewife
must go over the daily task of clean
ing not once, but two and three times
day and then at the end what is the
result? Cement all over. Why not
let our citizens go TO the council meet
ing and have Mayor Schlieker act.
There must be a city ordinance or
what do we pay taxes for? Something
must be done and soon.

TRIBUTE OF RESI- ECT,

In the passing on, out of our ,ieht
of Mrs. Theresa B. Lucas, whom ".

In 1906 she was our presiding officer
and filled the position in most efficient
manner; in fact, she was very cana.
BILE woman, but preferred the making
of the home to any honor she might
achieve elsewhere. Her character VA
unique; she was magnetic to great
degree. Her country home was the
Mecca to ward which the young turned
for recreation and counsel; this is par.
ticularly true Of the young men Of her
acquaintance-her influence over them
was remarkable. What her loss means
to those she has so long given her best
thought, prayers and time, they alone
can measure.
LET us say
She is not dead, she is just away
With a CHEEKY smile, and wave Of
the hand,
She has journeyed to the heavenly
land"
Be it resolve lst, While we bow in
submission to Him who doeth all things
well, we find ourselves sorrowing be-
cause of our irreparable loss.
End, That as members of the J. Z
George Chapter, U. D. c., we extend
to the grief-stricken family and friend,
our heartfelt sympathy, praying that
the memory of her lovable characterize
an incentive to emulate her kindB.

FREE MINDS AND FREE ANKLES.

No man really understands woman,
but some men have sense enough To
perceive their own ignorance. To these
latter certain phases OF the current
discussion OF modern feminine attire
must be rather exasperating, says the
Charleston News and Courier. Most
particularly so must be those disqui
sitions In which we are gravely in
formed that modern styles are what
they are because woman has at last
determined to be sensible in matters
OF dress. Here, for instance, IS Lon
don Opinion explaining the slit skirt
on the ground that free minds have
made Inevitable free ankles" and
stating that girls are no longer con
tent to be tied up like bales OF cotton
as they were In the good old days OF
the hobble skirt Could ignorance OF
the feminine mind be more Grass or
more blatant! How the dear ladies
must laugh when we inform them that
their object in wearing slit skirts Is
to secure greater freedom Of action
for their neither limbs We must all
live and learn, and a couple Of years
from now those who form the chry.

sible" styles in matters Of dress will
see what idiots they have been. BY

the famous Nippur tablets reveals
some OF the oldest school books which
are known to exist They show that
the children of the ancients learned
much that the boys and girls of today
study, and his deciphering has led to
the discovery of some important edu,
cational relics. They show that the
children OF 1920 years ago were
taught phonetic spelling. They were
taught to make syllables. and their
provincial was dependent entirely
upon the teachings they received in
the college at Nippur. Some of the
tablets show that the pupils In that In,

geology and theology. Their gram
mars and histories show that the
Sumerians were highly developed
