We can best appreciate the ulti-

pugilistic carnivals by referring to
the gladiatorial contests of ancient
Rome. That power bore a close re-
semblance to modern England since
Rome was merely the metropolis Of
a vast empire inhabited largely by
savage and dependent races. In the
later days OF the Roman empire,
when it was tottering to its fall, the
women of the leading Roman families

In nearly every human being there
is a lingering love Of cruelty, or, at

this primal instinct is the great work
of civilized morality. Many a man

WILLIAM E. BRITT FAVoRs
 WoRKINeMAN's READING ROOM

Through the efforts of William E.. Britt, president of the local lodge, Sons of Norway, a reading room was recently established in the Casebolt building on Front street, for the bene- fit of the lodge membership. MT. Britt, speaking of the matter says that this reading room Is of incalculable good to the members who are privi- leged to accept the benefits offered, but that 1t does not begin to meet the real needs of the town.
 "The fishing fleet, while in port, leaves many men with no place to go except the saloons" said MT. Britt, land such a state of affairs should not exist. The town needs a downtown reading room for workingmen and it should be established right away. Our little reading room is only large enough for a very limited number and the or dinary working man has no place avail able where he can put in his idle time at healthy entertainment"

BLUE BIRDS
 ORGANIZE IN JUNEAU

Many people believe that there is something being taken out of the life of girls which is necessary, tundamen- tai to the future. Before the time of book knowledge girls were educated to do the work of life by helping and initiating their mothers in the things the mothers were doing. All that the mother did was observed. Today we have forgotten what that education was like and the results produced by all that initiative play and sharing in the real work with the mother.
 To have school. piano lessons, danc- ing lessons. and parties take the ma jor part of daily life. is to stint the soul of the little girl in its most fundamen- tai aspect.
 Most of the incoherence of modern life is due to the fact that 1t centers no longer about the home and the child as it used to do.
 The Camp Firle Girls has proven so successful in the States that thousands of smaller sisters long for the time to come when they. too, may join. This way has been planned so that the lit- tie girls could be given their true in- heritance of chndhood's joy and eS- perience. So here are the Bluebirds that will sing. grow and help.
 The first object to be attained with the Bluebirds Is to make and keep them thoroughly, though quietly happy. The group is called a nest. At first a girl is a nestling. she becomes next a fiedgling. She becomes then a fiier. at the Bluebirds' Council blue feath- CTS. caps and wlngs are awarded for at tainment These are placed on the dress.
