the Ctate or organizations that are ad-'
mittedly ef .cient, Is undermining the
confidence of many of the people in
the militia. Now that's pretty strong,
but l mean it. 1t is humiliating to the
men who are interested in the service
and who are performing a patriotic
duty in undergoing training; devoting
time and attention to the advancement
of the organized militia. Further. such
statements are interfering with enlist
ments. When you take into considera-
ton that one man in every hundred
in the 100000 men in this country
Is doing his duty in regard to military
service it is rather disconcerting to
hear such things said"
1t is well-known fact that some
organizations in the Guard are al
ways maintained at q maximum of
men, that some are always above the
minimum and that very few drop
below because of expiration of enlist
ments, which makes the drop only
temporary. No reference is made by
Washington people to the fact that
there are organizations of the regular
army that are often times below the
minimum in strength and whose Off
GERS are absent on other duty What
is apparently a crime in the organized
militia is evidently a virtue in the reg
ular army" in the language of a man
talking about it here to-day.

Boyer Followed Old Custom

DIR. Yates was not nominated as a
regular candidate. Messrs. BretZ and
Houtz having cast their votes for him.
President Boyer has consistently voted
for Mr.. Houtz, in accordance with the
usual parliamentary reciprocity Gus.
tom whereby candidates usually eX-
change votes with each other.
Several reports in connection with.
the possible outcome of the meeting
were current in school and city circles
day. One was to the effect that
some taxpayers contemplated manda-
musing the directors into court to show
why they should not be ousted and a
new board appointed in order that an
election of a president and other Off.
GERS necessary to completed the school
board organization might be named.
One director said he heard such a
rumor. but didn't place much faith IN
it. He did say, however, that he be-
lieved the school code provided for no
such contingency as the present dead
lock and that the law made mandatory
the election of president on the first
Monday of December.
In the Fight TO Stay
Another rumor was to the effect
that President Boyer had been asked
to withdraw his name. This he ad-
mitted to be true.
But you certainly can say that
have no intention of doing anything
of the kind" said he.
I'm in the fight to stay-and," he
concluded smilingly. "I don't intend to
vote for myself either"
Five votes will be necessary to reach
choice. As DR.. Yates really isn't q
regular candidate. it is believed that
the problem will be settled by either
Mr.. Rretz voting for Mr. Boyer or by
Mr.. Houtz returning his own fellow
candidates complimentary vote-or by
Messrs. Bretz and Houtz both turning
in for Mr. Houtz.
The kindly feeling which the teach
ers of the city have for Mr.. Boyer was
never more heartily or significantly ex-
pressed than last evening when he en-
tered Technical high school audi
torium to attend the lecture to more
than 800 school instructors delivered
bv DR.. J. Leonard Lew. rabbi of the
Pittsburgh Temple The teachers. as
soon as thev caught sight of Mr.
Rover. gave him a round of hearty
applause.

You Can't Keep Your Thoughts Secret.

In the January Woman's Home Com
panion Ralph Waldo Urine writes re-
markable article entitled "Actualizing
Ones Ideals" an interesting extract
from which follows:
at was that able writer of the minds
processes, James Allen, who said: Men
imagine that thought can be kept
secret, but it cannot; it rapidly crys-
talizes into habit, and habit solidities
into circumstances $50. Man is a
growth by law, and not creation by
artifice, and cause and effect is as abso-
lutte and undertaking in the hidden
realm of thought as in the world of
visible and material things And again
he says A man is literally what he
thinks, his character being the complete
sum of all his thoughts
"As within, so without always and
inevitably A thoroughly scientific
foundation, we will find as we go deeply
enough, underlies the statement: AS
a man thinketh in his heart so is he.'
There is nothing by way of habit, char
acter, even achievement that can get
into mans or woman's life except
through the avenue of his or her mental
life. Search as carefully and as criti-
cally as we will, we will find no excep-
tions to this rule

Where to Keep Your Stockings in
Small Apartment.

In the January Woman's Home Com
panion appears department called
1.-THE Exchange" in which readers con-
tribute helpful household suggestions
which are the results of their personal
experience. A Massachusetts woman, who
has evidently lived in small apartment
in great city, tells, as follows, about
device she invented for storing stock
ings in the cramped quarters of city
apartment:
when living in a small apartment
where drawer space was limited, /
tackled tape around the sides of bureau
drawer at intervals, making each loop
large enough to hold neatly folded pair
of stockings. By placing my husbands
stockings ON the left side and mine on
the right, silk stockings at the front
and old ones at the back, each pair could
easily be selected without disturbing the
other contents of the drawer very
much"
