CHICAGO, July 12.-Chaperones
for every bathing beach in the city

announced today, and with that de-

The first efforts of the women's
clubs to regulate beach attire resulted
successfully. Thew won a victory
over Charles W. Tursell, who made an
unsuccessful attempt to secure a per-
init to reopen his private bathing
beach. Club women complained the
bathers at Tursell's beach paraded in

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 49,
Jealousy between the house and sem
ate lobby investigating committees to-
day threatens the success of their in
vestigations.
Colonel Mulhall testified before the
senate probers last night and the
house subpoenaed him for today. The
senators ordered him to ignore the
house subpoena and to appear before
the senate committee today.
This morning Senate Chairman Ov.
erman wrote House Chairman Garrett
that he positively refused to release
Mulhall to the house committee, and
announced his intention to hold the
witness until his entire testimony was
completed. Thereafter the house may
have him or any of his papers.
Mulhall resumed his testimony be-
fore the senate committee this morn
ing. He told how the manufacturers
association utilized the labor leaders
and reelected Aldrich, senator from
Rhode Island. defeated McComas, SEN
ator of Maryland, and William Hugh
es, as congressman from New Jersey
in 1904. He told of hiring labor lead
ers from Philadelphia and New York
to accomplish the purpose of secretly
manipulating the activities of the lend.
ers. Mulhall promised to carry his
story right down to last falls election
Mulhall testified that Marshall Cush.
ing, when secretary Of the National
Manufacturers association, had order.
ed him to defeat McComs for sena.
tor from Maryland. After the sena.
tor was defeated, he ordered Mulhal
to see McComas, and tell him he was
defeated because he advocated the
eight-hour bill. He instructed Mul.
hall to promise support to McComas
for federal judge If he would droT

something received, must be paid for
some time.
Again. we become social by learn
ing to work, to know and respect la
Dor. Idleness is the greatest social
sin. The individual should be expert
ly capable Of clothing, feeding, shell
tering and entertaining himself or
herself, and should receive no GER
tificate of graduation, no diploma, un-
til he can prove the ability to do so.
HIT must know what his pleasure
and support cost in human labor and
no mature person should be allowed
to think the world owes him !iv-
ing or that he rs free to live on the
labor of others without making re-
turn in kind.
Being social implies cooperation
the difficult art of working, not for
but with others. 1t is much easier to
work alone, to sacrifice oneself. Co
operation means respect for others,
consideration, liberation, limiting ones
selfish tendencies, agreeing to work in
common, patience with faults of 9TH
ers, refusal to have what others have
not ureess it has been earned by
more work OF as reward. A social
person is one who is capable of rapid
and pleasant exchange Of ideas. It
means meeting and parting with per-
nf oil rloornu onI pastkar srsx,
ing nor receiving harm. Good breed
ing, justice and sense of humor are
the three essentials for this.
The social realization is often best
accomplished by working with others
for some higher ideal. It is difficult
to be social with ones immediate COM
petitor, but even two rivals can oper-
ate together toward some common
good. All modern communities offer
higher social institutions in which the
individual selfishness and egoism can
be lost in the work for the good of
all--schools, social betterment, play,
physical improvement of cities, the in
stitutions of religion.
No one can be finally social who in
sists on dividing men into fixed class
es. We must all be members of the
same class. Present day education
tends to make US unsocial by making
us exclusive. Finally, one becomes a
social by linking the past with the
present. and development of hope ir
the future. Until our schools teach
these things they will continue to turr
out into the world every year thou
sands who, it is true have made high
records in their studies, but who will
be found unfit when they are testee
as to their ability to make their owr
way in the world.
