When records of the visits made in
the 1872 city blocks which are yet UNI
covered are returned. totals Will show
that close TO $4,000 persons have been
visited in Detroit and suburbs by
Home Visitation workers. according
TO an estimate made, Thursday, by j,
Shreve Durham. superintendent OF the
visitation movement. Cards from 10
more blocks were turned in Wednes-
day and increased the number of those
visited to 654 900.
According TO those who have exam
ined many cards, one of the features
OF the canvass in Detroit is the dis
covery that so many cards are what
might be known as split tickets"
meaning that several different relig-
ious denominations are represented in
a single family.
The great showing made in Greater
Detroit has substantially enlarged the
extent Of our national work." said

OBJECTS TO WOMEN WEEPING
Writer Has No Use for Old Saying
Which Declares II to Be One
.. Of Natures Laws. ..l..ev

Men hate q weepy woman, and You
cant blame them for hating her, writes
Mary M. Maxwell. The thing for
which they are to blame Is that they
have not discouraged weeping by
making II well known that they are
reasonable and reasoning beings and
that they take 1t for granted that
their wives are also of this order. or
all the quotations that make me angry
| think that one which declares that
men must work and women must
weep" affects my temper most. Why
must women weep, | should like to
know? Once let an engaged man give
his fiancee to understand that weeping
does not appeal to him; once let hus.
band explain to his wife that weeping
not only calls out the very devil In
him, but makes her look a positive
fright-leading her gently to a mirror
and showing her weeping self up In
all its sickening ugliness, and we
should get rid of good many tears
or rather, we should not get rid OF
them, but prevent their showing
themselves
Men have for many thousands OF
years been telling women 1t Is their
part to weep, and until recently wom-
en- have not known any better than to
believe them Men have told women
great many other foolish things
which have been destructive to friend
ship between husbands and wives.
Men have given women to understand
that they (women in general) are
natural invalds. Women are no more
natural invalids than are men, but IL
you keep telling woman she Is an
invalid, that she is "frail," you can
make her believe 1t against her own
inward knowledge that she Is as sound

treaty OF peace was signed with the
Indians.
A fort, called Fort Armstrong. after
the then secretary of war, was COM
Melted at Rock Island in 1917. The
Indians evidently knew that the cree
ton OF the fort was intended TO COM
mel a compliance on their part with the
disnuted treaties which had been
made and that when white settlers
came they might have to leave their
homes. Speaking OF this. years after
wards, Black Hawk said:
I'VE did not. however. try TO prevent
their building the fort on the island;
but we were very sorry. as this was
the best island on the Mississippi. and
had long been the resort OF our young
peopIe during the summer. IL was our
rarden-Iike the white people have
near their big villages-which sup
nIied MS with Strawberries, blackber-
ries. plums. apples. and nuts or various
kinds: and its waters supplied us with
nure fish, being situated in the rapids

ME He was white, with large wings
i've a swans. but ten times larger. We
vvere particular not 10 make much
noise in that part of the island which
he inhabited for fear Of disturbing
him. But the noise OF the fort has
since driven him away. and no doubt
a bad spirit has taken his place

connect the two lines. Such bridge
was constructed in 1856 from the Illi'
nois shore to the island and from the
Iowa shore to the island, with an en-
bankment across the island connect
ing the two bridges, or rather the two
parts of the Rock Island bridge. This
bridge is not now in existence.
Many determined efforts were made
to acquire title to the land of the is
land because of its desirable residence
qualities, but chiefly because of the
water-power possibilities. Several
men were successful in establishing
such claims through the medium of a
special bill passed through congress,
and the government afterwards re-
bought the land at many times the
price paid for it by these enterprising
citizens.
In July, 1862. congress passed a bin
locating an arsenal at Rock Island.
Ground for the first building, large
storehouse, was broken in September,
1863, in the corner stone of which
were placed three newspapers
Rock Island Union, a Davenport Ga
zette, and a Davenport Democrats
half dollar, and a paper giving date of
laying stone, the name of the presi-
dent of the United States. the name
of the governor OF Illinois, and the
names of the commanding officers at
the arsenal.
Extensive prison barracks for pris-
oners of war were built on the island
in 1863. and the first building of the
,~,araI moe narfly constructed hv the
labor OF confederate soldiers.
Congress in 1869 appropriated $780,
600 for the construction of the pres
ent Rock Island bridge. the building
of which was later given over TO the
engineer department of the army.
The arsenal plant, including build
ings, machinery. and so forth. has been
