The Indians Gratitude
VOL. l., NO. 1os.

Bobby and Jack lived with their
parents on q ranch in Texas. They
were each eight years old, and had
lived on the ranch for three years.
One day as they We're playing they
noticed little Indian boy, probably
about ten years old. sitting In u
large oak tree which was on the
edge of the forest. AS Indians were
plentiful in those days, the little
brothers took no notice of him. Sud-
denly. however, they heard a scream
from the direction of the forest, and,
running there, were in time to wit
ness fearful sight. The little brave
had, In some unaccountable way,
entangled himself in the gnarled
limbs of the tree and was hanging
suspended in the air by one foot,
Bobby quickly ran to the farmhouse
10 get a. tall ladder, while Jack
climbed the tree and attempted Co
get the little indian back to safety.
In about fifteen minutes he was out
of harms reach. He gave his name
as Telahwahla. OF the tribe of Pach-
ixous, and said, IF ever l can help
you call Raodonica, and If ] am
within hearing distance / will come
to you" The boys soon forgot the
episode and went on playing.
One day, while playing on the edge
of rocky gorge Bobby slipped, and
il he had not caught a projecting
bush, would have been dashed to
pieces on the rocks below. Jack
darted to the house for rope, leav-
ing Bobby on the edge of the cliff
Bobby suddenly remembered =. his In
dian friend and called Justify, "Rao.
donica! RaodonicG!" Soon he saw
little boy emerging from the for
est. The Indian, who turned out to
be Telahwahla, took In the situa-
ton at a glance, and, taking his lasso
from his belt, he attached one end
around a tree and tied the other
around Bobby's waist. Jack ther
came with another rope and together
they pulled Bobby from the brink
of the precipice.
Bobby and Jack grew to be great
friends with Telahwahla, and played
with him as often as possible

The going forth of hordes of women
to offices and shops in the past few
wears has FASTENED the feminist
revolution and quickened it's spirit,
After the first little vanguard of
women had invaded the masculine
stronghold, their sisters of the quiet
prosaic home, always limited as to
spending money, saw them come out
in new gowns and hats and they
realized the advantage of this new
earning power of the sex. Besides
these there We're many others who
were pitched into the industrial con-
aict willy-nilly. More and more women
have been storming the fortress and
the success of their siege has given
many Of them a sort of parity with
men and a determination to press on
and capture the innermost citadel and
sanctum, says Bailey Willard, in the
Woman's World for June.
The anti-feminists object strenu-
ously to this invasion or to any other
form Of female militancy. They de-
clare that woman has no right to
make a man of herself Now it seems
10 me pertinent to inquire right here,
If woman is making man of her
self, what kind of a man is she be-
coming? II. as one philosopher de-
clares. n woman's chief business, no
matter what other she may engage
in, is TO attract and make a conquest
of man, It might seriously be asked,
is she, as a worker outside the home,
less attractive to him, is she less fitted
to make the conquest? While it may
be admitted that because OF her new
competition with man she has re-
nounced her right to some of his old
fashioned chivalry. the fact remains
that there still centres in her all that
makes woman woman. Her sex at
tractfhn is just as strong as ever

of me, so left me in my grandparents

him. You'll get mo all wet she
cried. you silly dog Donald just
wagged his tail and splashed harder
than ever. He didn't mind being
called a silly dog, because Lucys

Mary Elizabeth stopped at this

Dorothy nodded. IF you said

OUT uilll luO water covered neT

bank to get stick for Donald, who
splashed after it into the deep
water, coming back wet and happy,
and bringing the stick for Lucy
to throw again.

a long time, and Lucy was very
careful not to go where it was deep.
After q while, though, she for
got Donald dropped the stick and,
in her haste to get 1t, she ran to

THERE IS ONLY ONE WOMAN BAILIFF
IN ALL THE UNITED STATES
Some of Her
Problems

Miss Caruthers as trained nurse
was doing for needy women and for
lorn mothers that first attracted the
notice OF Judge Uhlir, of the Chi
cago Court of Domestic Relations,
and upon his suggestion she was APP
pointed q bailiR in his court with
greater power than any of the city S
ten policewomen. During her hours
in court Miss Caruthers, dressed in
her nurses gown of blue Bingham,
stands near the judges desk, look
ing and listening. She has found
that many of the offenses and trou-
bles that the court has to consider
drunkenness, Wife beating, desertion
and estrangement-are primarily due
to physical causes; SO. whenever
case appeals to her, she whispers to
the judge, who places it under her
care.
She says that drunkenness, with its
attendant evils, is often traceable to
lack of proper food, TOT stomach
trouble, or other durable ills and
ailments; therefore she spends her
afternoons and evenings visiting the
homes of culprits and complainants,
teaching wives how to take care of
their husbands and children, securing
medical treatment for those that need
it, and helping discouraged men to
find work.
She has authority to make arrests
and exercises it when necessary, but
her leading idea is to keep the home
intact, and it is said that hundreds
of couples who have aired their
troubles in the Domestic Court are
now living happily because Of the
syInpathetic work of this bailiff
nurse.

I'VE entered into several argu-
ments as to the easiest way for you
to reach the aquarium, and the con-
sensus of opinion in this office is
that you should take the Pennsyl-
vania tube train at Park place
through to Cortlandt street, New
York, and either walk down to the
Battery Gt is not far or take a
West street horse car. The round
trip ticket to New York will be
thirty cents and the horse car fare
five cents each way. .szs,.
You would save a little money by
taking the turnpike trolley to Jer-
sey City and ferrying across, but
not enough to make up for the long,
tiresome trip.

Standard of Measure

How rarely do women stop to con-
slider the origin OF the yard measure
which is used so frequently in the
sewing room, It is a fact, however,
that the yard as standardized today
only became authorized in 1926, when
John Bird calculated it by means
of the seconds pendulum. A yard in
the reign of Henry I. Of England
measured the length for his males
tvs nose to the end of his thumb
Henry VI. was responsible for the
earliest yard stick now in exist
ence, but the earliest foot rule on
record was made in Greece. from the
length of the foot of Hercules, says
an exchange.
Edward H. of England decreed an
inch to equal the length of three bar
ley corns, and While barley corns are
not all the same size, this meas
Urement Is still approximately used
for determining the eizc OF shoes,
each succeeding number being a
third of an inch equal to one bar
iev corn larger than the preceding
shoe.

THE SKIRT SILHOUETTE PURELY A MATTER OF PERSONAL
FAVOR

There are almost as nauy skirt de-
signs this season as there are new
materials of which to fashion them.
one French house favors the skirt
topped up in back; another, the bell
shaped outline, and several others
show clinging. drapery effects in their
models. TUNES and trimming bands,
however. seem TO be universally
favored.
II Is foretold that silk will be much
used for skirts and coats, as well as
for dresses a little later. At the pres
ent moment striped and checked now
city stuffs, plain and plaid serges,
gabardine and cloth are the mate
rails being used. Contrasting coats
and skirts arc generally seen and will
undoubtedly be even stronger than
the one colored suit. as there is such
an opportunity for economy.
No. s133-s26S shows a coat OF black
cloth combined with e skirt of striped
serge. The coat is one of the new
short models, showing a smart little
inset vest and one Of the new sash
effects. These are features of many
of the new suits. The skirt is a
three-piece model, with g slightly
raised waistline and % circular trim
ming band. Cloth ranges in price
from $3.50 a yard and up. and serge
