The Afternoon Session.

The women of the Federation are to
be commended for their promptness in
the opening of their meetings and in
the transaction of their business. The
afternoon session was called to order
promptly at o'clock, with a larger
attendance than in the morning. The
president addressed the women briefly
on some matters of Federation bust
ness and made some suggestions for
the convenient and economical carry
ing on of the work of the Federation.
In the reading of her minutes the Sec
rotary announced that 55 clubs were
represented out of 142.
Mrs. Martha Baker Dunn.
One of the delights of the afternoon
session of the Maine State Federation
of Womens Clubs. in mldwinter meet
ing at Augusta Wednesday was the
paper on Heroes and Heroines,' given
by one of Names gifted authors, Mrs
Martha Baker Dunn of Waterville.
In the introduction of her subject,
Mrs Dunn said in part:
"A member of the book committee
of modern public library is liable to
have moments when he or she envies
the paucity of the old-fashioned fiction
list. The most romantic imagination
sometimes refuses to cope with the
endless floods of heroes and heroines
especially heroines-which each re-
current season brings: THE Mistakes
of Elizabeth" THE Confessions of
Peggy" The Stupidity of Susan"
THE Meanderings of Margaret THE
Idiocies of Imogene,' are poured upon
us in a rushing tide. Alice of Old
Vincennes," "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm Ann of Avonlea," Anna of
the Five Towns are but few Of
the accomplished and fascinating la
dies who present themselves for recog-
milton. 1t is fashion begun long ago
with Eve of the Garden of Eden, :"
and Helen of the Topless Walls of
Troy"
One sees them pictured on the book
covers in all manner of bewildering
costumes and attitudes, and it is
part of the charm that the artist has
seldom troubled to make the heroine
of the cover in the least resemble the
heroine of the book.
The prevailing type at the present
time is sinuous creature whose cop
per-colored hair falls in ripping cas-
cade below her knees. She may be a
high-born lady or only a millionaire's
daughter; she may be a chorus girl
or a creature of the slums; she may
be the modern type Of heroine whose
sole desire is to experience the whole
gamut of what she calls "life"-and
life so depicted seems frequently to
be located in a mudhole-to whichever
class she belongs, cascade Of cop
-colored haid appears her most nee
essary asset.
Like the King of Zenda, IF she's
red, she's right" and however she
looks, she is siren who
Mows down the bearded men at a
breath
And the boys that grow between.
Not unfrequently when one has
SKINNED through the annals of good
many of her one understands perfectly
why Charlotte Bronte determined to
make Jane Eyre small, plain, and
unattractive, in defiance of the ac-
copied canon"
1t is a positive relief sometimes to
raise ones head out of the quagmire
of hand-decorated heroines and re-

The report cards for the first semester
will be distributed to the high school
students on Friday of this week. While
the grades are not all that could be de-
sired in many cases. the reports furnish
careful estimate of the quality of work
done, and it is the desire of all interested
that still better averages may be made
for the last half of the school year.

patrons of the schools have no right to
expect average results while they are
willing to allow the present crowded

enrolled. while in the first primary, one
teacher is responsible for the progress of

LABOR FOR ROBINS

81 am glad to be able to say that
the toilers of Illinois are standing
almost to a man for Raymond Robins
in this fight" said Secretary E. N.
Nockels of the Chicago Federation of
Labor. "The average wage Garner in
Chicago and the state knows exactly
who Raymond Robins is, why he de-
served the staunch support of union
men and women, and why both Suli-
van tand Sherman do not.
81 feel it important to call atten-
ton once again that Roger Sullivan,
Democratic candidate for the United
States Senate in Illinois, remains on
the unfair list of organized labor by
a vote of 236 to 156; that all his en-

deavors to hide his unjust attitude to-
ward organized labor have failed, as
have failed his strenuous campaign to
be restored to the fair list. AS Sam
uel Gompers pointed out, Senator
Sherman is not the friend o flabor.
Raymond Robins has helped the
labor movement time and time again,
unfalteringly and unselfishly, during
the past fourteen years. We now
have chance to even this score, in
slight way, and luabor must not ever
be accused of ingratitude."

many of the old-timers will not ap-

The war and the now 50-cent tax

HoYNE TO MAKE NEW MOVE


Hoyne is expected to make the
next move in the lively little tilt be-
tween his office and the detective
bureau. Grand jury indictments for
the dicks" who are proven grafters
may be returned before the week is
up.
Hoyne's promise of immunity for
crooks who "came through" with
what they know about crime and its
relations with the police is said to
have produced good results.
He claims that many grafters,
some of them from among the po-
lice, have visited his office and, when
assured of complete protection,
talked freely of conditions at the bu-
reau.
One of Hoyne's men was in Joliet
yesterday, talking to Nathan Spira.
convicted f1rebug. Spira was too
weak to attend the trial of Lieut..
Tobin and Detectives Egan and
Monaghan and his story in the form
of an affidavit will be presented to
