try-Hours. Rules. Wages" PARKS"
suggested the possible Development
of two local vacant triangles and their
appropriation to the common use.
1t was the incongruity of Il small
club with a limited membership con-
sidering alone problems which directly
interested 6.OOO folk which led to the
next step.
The club called a general meeting of
all the women interested in town de-
velopmemnt. Every woman's club was
invited. and a general invitation was
extended through the papers. The
meeting was held at the city hall, and
these were asked to be present and to
speak as follows:
The city health officer. to explain the
vital need Of sewerage and the desira-
bility Of Il garbage disposal system
and what practical means could be
used to get both.
The school superintendent. to tell of
the advantages of manual training and
domestic science in the local schools.
The art teacher in the schools. to tell
how the local school grounds could be
~ineXpensively improved and made beau
tiful.
\ woman who loves gardens. to tell
of the JOY in gardens and in planted
spaces.
A club member. to tell of the work
of the American Civic association and
of the work of cbildren's gardens and
the penny seed packages.
A woman interested in pure milk, to
tell of the dangers of tuberculosis ex-
listing in uninspected herds and how Il
town can go about securing the tuber-
culin test Of it's COWS in order to know
of the purity of it's milk supply.
Organization was effected in March,
and in three months the following had
been accomplished:
The sanitary committee had inter-
viewed the milkmen at a meeting call
ed by the committee and had ascer-
tanned how to secure the tuberculin
test. The milkmen were willing to
have the test made and to pay for it
themselves. and the matter was pre-
cipitated by the owner of a large herd
engaging Il veterinarian to come to
make the test. and finding in the herd
three badly infected COWS. All the
large local herds were inspected. but
the effort to secure an ordinance re-
curing the test Semiannuall.y as it
should be administered was postponed
in the hope that this will soon be re-
Quired by statute.
The streets and alleys committee had
secured q clean up day named by the
mayor. previous to which a subcommit-
tee was named to report the sidewalks
not cleaned of snow.
The children's auxiliary committee
had distributed 1900 penny packages
Of flower and vegetable seeds and had
offered S25 worth Of prizes to the chill
dren for flowers entered In n flower
and vegetable show announced for
September.
These were mere beginnings. but in
them the work was launched and CIV
en- an impetus that made permanence

When Benjamin Huston returned to

N. j.. early in the evening he found a

Then he learned that his wife had been
kept a terrified prisoner in the house
all day, When she attempted to go out
in the morning the dog tried to bite
her. and SO 1t was all day. There Is
no telephone In the house and no

LEADS TO BIGGER THINGS.
From Weekly Readings the Members
Activities Grew Until Entire Local
Administration Was Enlisted In One
Case-Committees Formed.

Because a thing done, however slight
the thing or slightly expressed, has a
value distinct from even the most per-
feet theory it may be we'll to tell how
first the women and then the men and
women Of n town inaugurated civic
work, says iona Gale in a pamphlet on
town improvement. This town is one
of 5000 inhabitants. and the initial
step was taken by a woman's club.
which gave over studying foreign
places and decided to study America.
At first one hour of each weekly
meeting was given to a paper and read
ings by a club member on ONE phase
of present day America. and twenty
minutes to a discussion of the present
working out Of some civic or social
problem looking to the future Of Amer
lea. The latter included news about
conservation and reclamation. the ma
tional fight for health. pure food, play,
peace, eugenics. equal suffrage. work
mems compensation laws. children's
Sd1uelS, IuDelCulOSlS pic'cuLlOu. ulOu-
ern prison methods. public fountains.
Then something became evident
which was a kind of revelation about
civilization. 1t was found that as these
matters Of national Importance came
up for consideration most of them had
a distinctly local application.
'The Playground as a Part of the
Graded School Course of Instruction"
called for a discussion Of the need and
expense Of a local playground. Con
%servation and Reclamation" brought
on questions about curb tree planting
and parking and the local ordinances
about cutting down and replacing.
"Jails and Lockups'' resulted in an in
vestigation Of the local Jail and Gala
boose bedding and the local mode Of
procedure when boy offenders are
brought before a justice. 1.-THE Drama

For Three Hours.

For Three Hours.
The attack on Theodore, the twelve
year-old son OF Theodore Maedke, by
a large gray wolf. having Il patch Of
clear black on n side. caused the
farmers near Algoma. Wis. to organize
a wolf hunt.
Young Maedke was on his way home
from a neighbours when he noticed the
stealthy beast following him. He
climbed a small tree when the animal
broke from cover and gave chase. The
wolf held the boy a prisoner in the tree
for three hours. growing. snarling and
gnawing at the roots of the tree.
A boat on Lake Michigan whistled
loudly, and this is thought to have
frightened the animal away from it's
intended victim. Young Maedke was
so exhausted from fright and cold that
he was scarcely able to make his way
home.
