BILE for a girl who gets none too much
salary to get enough to eat in the middle
of the day without spending all her spare
money for "unromantic food to eat"

make a profit, although coming out a bit
"ahead" isn't TO be "sniffed" at by any
means
Go there and see for yourself what de-
licious butter they give you; how nice and
rich the milk is, and how fresh the meat
and vegetables are, and you will under
stand that it isn't lunch room that is

In addition to the luncheons served at
the Young Womens Christian associa-

have been served there daily, some since

The average woman" said the father
of a large family, seems to look on chill

bores when they are naughty. and, broad
" speaking, wives seem to take the view
that they have fulfilled their duty to their
husbands simply by being their com
panions. Thirty or more years ago an
ordinary middle class man with an income
Of between three and four hundred year
could bring up quite a large family in
comparative comfort and give them a
good education. Now such a man with

idea is that the modern woman, how
ever well trained she may be in the do
mestie arts does not care to devote her
self to domestic duties TO any great ex-
tent: she is much more pleasure loving
than formerly. The suburban trains every
afternoon are always full of women com

their time in shopping or amusement of

MIR. JACOB RIIS
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

The lecture of Mr.. Jacob Ris will be
the chief attraction of the evening. taking
place in the auditorium of the High
school, His subject is THE Battle With
the Slum,' which he presented not long
ago in Burlington, VT, and of which the
Burlington Press states:
Mr.. Riis speaks not from notes, but
to paraphrase his own words, from his
head, his heart and his hands. The man
himself, with his simple modesty, his
quaint humor, his magnificent enthusi-
asm his overfiowing humanity is a per-
sonality which will never be forgotten,
II is safe to say by any one who has been
fortunate enough to hear him speak. It
is easy enuogh to see wherein lies his
success with the people of the slums;
his whole being radiates--a more than
friendlness-a hrotheliness which reaches
the heart of even an audience of an even
ing and makes you regard him as per-
sonal friend"

INDIAN AFFAIRS TO Be SETTLED
The Sale Of Surplus Land and the
Formation Of Reserve Fund
for Benefit Vt Indian Schools

Washington.-Rep G.. D..
Carter has introduced two bills in the
house designed to expedite the final
settlement of the affairs of the five
civilized tribes In Oklahoma. Not
only do the measures provide for a
distribution of the tribal funds, but
also provide for reserve for the ben
eft of Indian schools.
The first three sections of the two
bills are identical but the latter two
sections, four and five. providing for
a division OF the tribal estate. differ
materially. Both these plans Of di-
vision of the common holdings Of
these tribes are original with the Ok
lahoma congressman.
The tribal estate of the Choctaws
and Chickasaws consists of coal and
asphalt lands, oil lands, timber lands,
agricultural lands and amounting to
from $10.OOO,00O to a round billion
dollars. A fair estimate would prob
ably be from $3O,OOO,OOO to $50, ,000,-
600, which should give to each cash
beneficiary under either of the Carter
bills, from $1,000 to $500. Since it
is generally conceded that the sale
Of the mineral deposits is impossible
and since the department persistently
refuses to distribute all funds due
them to restricted Indians, these bills
provide a reservation of same as a
permanent school fund for certain
members of the tribes of the greater
degree of Indian blood, commonly
known as the restricted class
Both bills direct the secretary of
the interior to expedite the sale of
the surface of the segregated mineral
land and the remainder of the unal-
lotted lands, and both direct an early
and sale of the tribal re-

cultural, grazing and timber lands, the
agricultural lands to be sold for not
less than twice the appraised value
and in tracts, not exceeding 100 acres
each; grazing lands in tracts not ex-
ceeding $40 acres each. and timber
land in tracts not exceeding $3.50
acres.
Both bills provide for a division
once during each fiscal year of all
tribal funds on hand until same are
exhausted, the same to be made to all
members of the tribe and

SENATE AGAINST PUBLIC HEARING

Conference.

WashingtOn.-By a strict party vote
the senate finance committee decided
finally that no public hearings would
be given upon the tariff bill when it
reaches the senate. Interested per-
sons will be given a full opportunity,
however, to file briefs or statements
with the committee bearing on any
Of the tariff schedules.
The decision is expected to shorten
materially the time that will be con-
sumed in getting the tariff bill before
the senate for consideration. Tariff

limited to five days Democratic Lead.

lieved
The tariff bill came back to the
house from the ways and means com.
mittee with vigorous supporting re-
port from the democrats on the com.
mittee and an opposing report from
the republican members.
The general debate will be followed
by concerted efforts on the part Of
the republicans in the house to amend
the bill in all its important schedules
While the senate finance committee
has decided that further hearings are
unnecessary the democratic members
of the committee conferred with dem
ocratic senators from Pacific coast
and Rocky mountain states who are
opposed to the free sugar and free
wool provisions of the new bill A
number of western senators, including
Senators Meyer of Montana and Ash
urst Of Arizona did not participate in
the conference as they have decided
to support the free wool and sugar
program If approved by the house.
The conference demonstrated the
strength against these features of the
bill. Those who participated insist,
however, that there has ben no effort
to form an offensive alliance against
the measure, as proof Of which they
point to the fact that the Louisiana
senators and others interested in a
change of the free sugar and free
wool provisions were not included in
the conference.
