CITY NEWS.

The suggestion was made to The
Gate City today that Keokuk might
aid in the Christmas ship, which Is to
sail for Europe in about month, fill
ed with gifts from Americans for the
children in the countries which are
at war. This city usually does do its
part in every sort OF philanthropy and
many would perhaps be glad to aid
in this work. All that is lacking is
for some one, or some organization
to take the initiative. This will be
cherries Christmas at best for the
innocent bystanders, the children"
A number of local people are
planning to go to Ft. Madison Satur-
day to see the football game between
the local high school and FIT. Madison
teams.

DISCUSS DAYS PROGRAM

At the Parent Teachers meeting
held yesterday afternoon from four
past three to half past five O'clock
in the high school assembly room,
mention Of which was made In ycs-
tcrday's Gate City, the date of the
reau'sr meeting was set for the third
Tuesday In the month from Septem-
Der to May, inclusive. Mrs. o. w.
Weyer was elected to fill the vacancy
in the vice-presidency, occasioned by
the resignation of Mrs. Lee Daughrity.
About two hundred were present at
the meeting which was cussec -fI!
one in every particular.
Miss Solomon presided and Miss
Florence Gabriel acted as secretary.
All present signed the membership
list. Following the program and bust
ness meeting, lunch was served in
the upper hall by Mrs. j. P. Hornish,
Mrs. J. NJ. Ddnson. Mrs. A. E. Marks.
Mrs. c. w. Lantz, Mrs. ]. G. Cole,
Mrs. Joseph Skinner and Mrs. l. C.
Howe.
The subject for the day was "A
Twenty-four Hour Program for the
Child In the absence of Mrs.
Leonard Matless, one Of the members
of the program committee spoke using
Mrs. Matless' outline. The women
were rather inclined in their discus
sion to take the question literally and
to say that for every child, according
to his age and physical condition. GER
tain hours should be set aside for
certain things; for example the part
OF the twenty-four hours in which the
child Is not in school should be given
to sleep, to meal time, to study or
profitable reading, to recreation, to
Occupation or tasks and lastly, every
child should be taught that the church
or some Of its agencies-the Y. w.
q. A., or church ORGANIZATIONS
should have place in the days pro-
gram,
Influence Of School.
DR.. r. L. Reid, in speaking of the
division of time for which the school
is responsible was less literal in his
Interpretation, and dealt more with
the projection Of the influence of the
school into the hours spent at home
and vice versa. His texa or central
thought was Learning is a Modifica-
ton Of Behavior in the Light OF Expe-
rience" The school, in it's effort to
teach the child, has only the material
to work on which comes from the
home.
The music for the day was under
the direction of Prof. Hayden. The
children who sang were from Miss
Nina Phillips room in the George
Washington school. Miss Phillips
played the piano accompaniment. The
children marched in, Graham McClin-
took leading the line. The children
sung Loves Old Sweet Song"
and Santa Lucia with unusual
sweetness of tone, clear and high.

brought their babies, every one OF
which since birth has been under the
care Of the visiting nurses, conse-
ouently none OF the babies were older
than fifteen months. The various doc
tors under whose care the babies were
born were also invited to be present
and the list contained the name OF
nearly every physician In town, show
ing how far reaching the visiting
nurse service has been here. OF all
the babies who have been under the
care OF the nurses since birth only
one has died and that one when 1t
was six weeks old had whooping
cough followed by pneumonia. A
case OF that sort Is almost impossible
to save.
Some Of the dentists in the city
have been most helpful in their CO.
operation and they too were invited to
the meeting, since the tooth PROPOSE

400 PATENTS GIVEN TO WOMEN.
InGeniOus Devices Among Recent
British Inventions.

LONDON. Jan. 9.--Durlng 1918 10000
applications were made for patents in
he United Kingdom. Five hundred of
the applications dealt with aeronautics,
while over 1000 were filed for patents
relating to railroads, automobiles or other
road vehicles.
An interesting invention is an auto
matte collapsiblo escape ladder. which,
II Is claimed. provides q rapid, continu-
Gus and safe means OF transferring pas
sengers and crew from "a vessel to boats
or RATS.
Among the amusement devices is huge
cushion. the imitation or DETECTION of
which causes an undulating surface like
the waves of the sea. Upon this surface
vessels will ride. giving the passengers a
good idea OF the briny ocean. Another
contrivance is "a switchback railway, with
variations consisting OF obstacles which
apparently threaten the cars with dlsas-
ter. but which are safely eiuded.
Inventors have also turned their atten-
ton to many labor saving devices. An
ingenious invention Is a workmen's time
recording machine with which is incor-
porated a thumb print arrangement that
enables each workman to be identified.
Woman has taken her place among the
inventors and nearly 400 applications
for patents came from women In this
country IN 1919. A few years since only
about sixteen applications from women
were filed.
