WOMAN'S CLUB WORK
Mrs. f. VI. Osborn, Editor for April

Mrs. f. VI. Osborn, Editor for April
That Improvement in home life,
home comfort and home economy is
a leading feature in the Woman's
Club is generally conceded by those
most interested in the work The
home must always be the center
point where woman's best faculties
are constantly drawn out
AS the wife she is the councillor;
as the mother, she is the guide and
protector-the one looked up to in
all difficulties by the children, who
consider her invaluable. Great indeed
is the responsibility of the mother,
so careful of her own words and acts
so the keen little critics find no jar
ring point to wonder at.
In her club work she may be in
terested in the health department
that has done so much good work in
the examination of children in our
public schools, as to healthy condi-
lions of the eyes; teeth, etc. All
such work is good and wise. Still,
there is another feature in home life,
especially in connection with the
moral welfare of our children. That
is their amusements, or the amuse-
| ment most frequently provided for
them. Under present conditions, the
| moving picture show does seem to
be the great attraction. That this is
not altogether a wise or healthy
amusement for children, is frequent
ly asserted, which is shown by the
following clipping taken from Pear
sons Magazines:

Lives have not been lost in the
moving picture shows. Lives have
been lost thru the moving picture

dead in bed one morning, a suicide
The gas jets had been turned on

before she had seen a film that por-

the denouement OF her desperation
to parallel that of the autographed

was no rescue.

wounded little girl and, when pur-
sued by policeman and three other
men, turned On them and fired indis-

death, though two OF them were
wounded. The boys confessed in
court that the moving picture show

which they had so sorrily portrayed.

BlOOded Stock

A Nebraska farmer was crossing
his pasture with a friend AS the
men walked along they discussed
the coming election. The farmer
believed in license and defended his
belief with the usual arguments of
control and regulation" More
than that, he declared that he did
not feel inclined to vote against the
saloonkeeper of the little village for
he was a good fellow, always ready
to assist a neighbor, and his license
helped to keep down taxes. At
length, as if to dismiss the subject,
he exclaimed, We'll, what is this
thing to me anyhow? Ny children
are all little and there never were
any drinkers in our family / guess
Il am not running any particular
risk
The topic was temporarily drop
ped and the farmer proceeded to ex-
plate upon the fine points of his
stock, indicating one splendid speci-
men after another, and giving pedi-
grees and records with great pride.
Suddenly he stopped and plucking
up a little weed threw it over the
fence with a grunt of satisfaction.
What is that?" inquired the friend
curiously. That was a loco weed.
If the stock should happen to get
hold Of it and eat it they would go
crazy and be useless, for while at
least. Twas lucky | fond that little
sprig: it might have caused me con-
siderable trouble" But why don't
troll it," inquired the friend solemn
ly Why / can't afford TO run the
risk" said the farmer. The stock
is all blooded stock. II represents
too much money All, now | see
why you do not vote against the sa-
loon" meditatively responded the
friend. Your boys and girls are not
blooded stock. Roy L. Smith

for stealing $500 worth of jewelry
from an apartment, that he had con-
ceived the idea of being a burglar
from a moving picture.
Item: Ethel Allen, an incindiary
twelve years old, naively told Justice
Wyatt OF the Manhattan Children's
Court, that she set fire to the five
story tenement where she lived, ''for
fun" Three times she had set fire
to the building. Why" asked the
Judge. Because, when there are
fires" said Ethel, laughing, women
always come to the windows with
their hair hanging down their backs
and their babies in their arms Then
the firemen come and put up ladders
and carry them and hear about the
baby in the back room and go after
it when the walls are falling down"
How do you know all this?" de-
manded the Justice
From the moving pictures said
Ethel, in amaZement that the Judge
should not know the source of all
sensational knowledge.
These recorded confessions of jul
venile criminals are but a few of the
total number that have been made
from time to time in the past year
When once dime and nickel
novels suggested ways of crime to
unbalanced youth the moving pic

some of them are very instructive
and elevating, so if it were possible
for the mothers to investigate the
moral tone of the pictures before her
children see them, this trouble
would be eliminated But one never

bruises. The horse ran west to West
