joined statement is apropos of the
point:
I Editor of the Palladium:
There is a disposition on the part of
that portion of the public unacuuaint-
ed with the activities of women's
clubs, as represented in the various
state declarations. to call into question
the practical nature of their work.
But this attitude is generally the
result of lack of information.
Will you permit me, at this juncture
the meeting of the Sixth Distr;~t
convention-to call attention to the
Importance of the History Committee.
under the direction of Mrs. S. HarrelI
of BroOkville, who is both district ami
state chairman of this department of
the Indiana Federation of clubs?
Mrs. Harrell is, by the way, one of
the leading women of the state having
attained national conspicuity at the
time of the Columbian Exposition at
which time she was a member of the
state commission and a prominent
1ndianaian who helped to give the
state eclat, both officially and socially
No one better, therefore. than Mrs
Harrell to take charge of the work of
the History Committee, whose special
object just now is to have a represen-
tatlve in every club in the state to
make collections of local history for
the use of the managers of the State
Centennial, which is to be held in
1916.
The club women could render no
better service to the state" saws Mrs
Harrell. than that Of getting into per

MISS HILL Defends AIMS
ATTACKED IN LOCAL CLUB

agreeably self-assertive woman will
never arrive; but timidity and shyness
are not good form nowadays, because
they are the outward signs of a lack
of self-confidence produced by a lack
of preparedness
There is nothing like a good club
to give woman that confidence in
herself which makes her an influence
for good, whether through study and
practice of domestic science, in aiding
our hospitals and churches or, for
ward, through the study of art, music,
literature or civics.
IF the lady who made the WAYNE
county report at Brookville is here to-
night, we hope that she will laugh
with us; the very relaxation that
comes from membership in good,
live club is balm-of-gilead to busy peo-
pie carrying the responsibilities of our
too complex lives.
And SO, dear federated ladies', l
have at last arrived at the kernel of
my discourse. On behalf of all the
Richmond clubs, l say again that we
are glad you are here. You are the
very salt of the Sixth district; we are
proud of your good works and your
labor of love.
welcome to Richmond"

NARROW ESCAPE
FOR MOTORMAN

While westbound T. H., l. & E.
traction car was speeding along at a
rapid rate last night between Lewis
vile and Dunreith, the trolley wire
broke and Motorman Willard Ulrich
had very narrow escape from being
electrocuted. After the broken wire
had shattered the front window of the
motorman's platform, the broken glass
severely cutting Ulrich's hand, the
wire wound itself around a part Of the
car front. When the car was stopped
with the emergency brakes the wire
untangled again and whirled into a
nearby field, setting fire to a hay
stack. The passengers were greatly
frightened for time. A repair crew
fixed the wire within short time.

INTERPRETATION OF Pain.

Pain has been explained as an &C
compartment of the Promethean spirit
of life, which, in perceptible haste to
proceed upon its journey, takes the
most ready and efficacious path on
ward, needless of what it breaks and
brushes on the way. But pain is
rather an impulse within the spirit OF
life. Pain is its conscience urging it
on. Unless We were pricked on by
pain we should wish to stand still, con-
tent with our own satisfaction, meanly
Indifferent to higher pleasures; with
out pain all life might have been con-
tent to house itself in low animal
forms and wallow in bestiaIity, ease
and lust. 1t may be that the onward
progress might have been accom-
plished without pain, we might have
been whirled upward, insensible satel-
lites, toward the universal goal. But
we have received the privilege of con-
sciously sharing in the upward jour
ney. Each onward movement must be
a wrench from the past, each moment
a parting, each step an eternal fare
well. These noble Inconsistencies are
tasks imposed by pain.-From the At
lantic.
