RANK DISCRIMINATION.

The advocates for equal rights for
women and men will take offense,
naturally, at the attitude assumed by
the authorities of the National Museum
toward the feminine sex. as disclosed
in the following attempt to fill a va
cancy in the working force of that in
stitution: The United States Civil Serv-
ice Commission announces open
competitive examination for black
smith, for males only. This is a case
of rank discrimination against the
fair ladies of the forge, the hammer
and the anvil. When the next to the
last census was taken there were 1913
female blacksmiths in the country,
and their number probably has in
creased Since.-BOStOn Globe

GIVING THEM A CHANc-E

Surgery upon the battlefield, ac-
cording to DR.. Ziegelroth, is becoming
more and more a matter of back to
nature" The doctors, military and
civil, who are tending the wounded in
the west are discovering, not without
some surprise, how potent a factor ma
ture is in healing wounds. Amputa-
lions are resorted to only in cases of
utmost necessity, and surgeons are
acting with the greatest conservatism
where previously limbs were severed
quickly when certain symptoms APP
peared. The conservatism appears to
be rewarded by recoveries that ordi-
narfly would have been considered im-
Possible. Ordinary wounds are dress-
ed with antiseptic bandages, and Their
are not rebound any more than nee
essary. The healing is being left to
efficient nature In our civil war the
very opposite policy prevailed. The
surgeons in those days believed in am
putation. No doubt many man lost
a limb which would have been saved
in these days.-Springfield Leader.

and that while it has been impossible,
so far, to arrange with the local pic
ture houses for regular Saturday
matinee, it is hoped to do this later in
the season, or at any rate to intro
duce occasional films for children of
higher character than those now ex-
hibited.
The endorsement which the PEN
sacola club women have given to the
Better Films movement has been al
most unanimous, and is splendid
evidence Of their interest and willing
ness to cooperate with Mrs. Phillips
in this work.
When this interest becomes active
enough to demand that the films their
children attend are harmless in char
acter, and unless these films are
harmless, keep the children at home,
the producers will furnish better
films for their own protection. The
club women of Pensacola do not wish,
however, to resort to any measures
that would work a hardship on the
moving picture houses. They wish
to give the managers of the theatres
every opportunity to meet the demand
they are making and it is believed
that cooperation with Mrs. Phillips
this can be accomplished, and better
films can be secured.

COURAGE.

Because / hold it sinful to despond,
And will not let the bitterness Of
life
Blind me with burning tears, but look
beyond
Its tumults and its strife.
Because lift my head above the mist,
Where the sun shines and the broad
breezes blow,
BY every ray and every raindrop
kissed
That Gods love doth bestow.
Think you | find no bitterness at all ?
No burden to be borne like Chris
tian's pack?
Think you there are no ready tears
to fall
Because keep them back?
Why should hug life's ills with cold
TO curse myself and all who love me !?
Nayl
A thousand times more good than
deserve
God gives me every day.
And in each one Of these rebellious
tears
Kept bravely back he makes rain
bow shine;
Grateful take his slightest gift, no
fears
Nor any doubts are mine.
Dark skies must clear, and when the
clouds are past,
One golden day redeems weary
year;
Patient I listen, sure that sweet at
last
Will sound his voice Of cheer.

MRS. JENNINGS ELECTED
PRESIDENT F. f. w. C.

The reelection of Mrs. w. S. Jen-
nings as president of the Florida
Federation of Women's clubs did not
come as surprise to club women in
the state.
The officers of last year were all
reelected, with the exception of two
of the sectional vice. presidents.
At the election of officers, delegates
to the General Federation of Wo-
mans clubs, converting in New York
in May, 1916, were elected. There
are 119 clubs in the state federation,
with a membership sufficiently large
to allow the sending of seven dele
gates, the largest delegation ever
sent from the Florida Federation.
The, list of delegates and alternates
will be published on the Federation
page, very shortly. With the dele
gates from the Florida clubs that are
directly federated with the General
Federation, the Florida delegation at
the biennial will be most creditable
one.
Invitations had been given the Fed
Grafton for its next place of meeting
from Miami, Orlando and Tampa,
each representative bringing cordial
letters from the various organizations
of the cities they represented. The
board, by secret vote, selected Miami
for the meeting place of the next
Federation
During this all-day session, also
the endowment fund was given an
other opportunity to grow. Contri-
buttons from the various clubs rep
resented brought the amount up to
1.-THE splendid figure of $804,50, some
Of the contributions being payable
yearly. Many of the delegates were
| not authorized by their clubs to sub
scribe to this fund, and these contri-
buttons will be sent in later, after IN.

its charter, which was not effective
November, 1914, when the present of
ficers of the Federation were elected,
and therefore they were not elected,
hereunder.
Section l, article 8, of the bylaws
reads, in part, that "All officers of the
Federation shall be elected biennially

bered years. Each officer shall begin
her term upon the adjournment of
the annual meeting at which she was
elected. A complete term of Office
shall be two years No officer shall
be eligible for successive election to
the same Office, nor shall any person
hold more than one Office at the same
time"
The present officers not having
been elected under the present char
ter and bylaws, nor held Office for
the two-year term prescribed by the
charter and bylaws; therefore,
It was moved the Federation in an
nual meeting assembled at this first
meeting under the charter and by
laws granted by the circuit court
April IL, 1914; that it is the judgment
of the Federation, that the present
officers of the Federation are eligible

THE WHITE LIE -

BY George Munson

May HalIiwe1 sat staring into the.
fire while the winter gloom came
down and filled the living room with
shadows. Jack Strange was to re-
turn that night from his trip west;
she had not seen him since he had
slipped the engagement ring upon
her finger the night before he was
called away on a business trip to Cali
fOrnia in August. And noW-she was
trying to think how she should meet
him and what she should say to him.
They had known each other for
several years. She had never been
wildly in love with Jack, but she had
grown to care for him very much, so
that, when at last he asked her to be
his wife, there seemed only one an
sWer.
She was a sensible girl. She had
never believed in romantic love, and
Jack, too, was of the matter-of-fact
temperament. She knew Jack was
as true as steel; he was rising in his
business and had excellent prospects.
Her engagement, had seemed a very
sensible thing to all her friends, for
the small salary she earned as ste
nographer was barely sufficient to
maintain the home which she shared
with her Old,aunt, who was unable to
help supplement the family income
and was practically bedridden.
After Jacks departure she had
broken down and gone with a girl
friend, Louise Martin, to small sum-
mer hotel in the Catskills. A week
was all she could afford; besides there
was no one to look after her aunt and
the old woman was largely dependent
on the kindly neighbors. So she had
fastened back, leaving Louise to
spend the second week of the vaca-
ton alone. But by then the mischief

louise.

'1Iove you, May" he had said, "and
1 shall always love you"
Then she had blurted out the story
of her engagement. She had told
him that he fance was away, that she
could not in justice release herself
until he returned. after he comes

to you; till then I cannot see you

passioned nature Of his love-making.
He had been everywhere and done
everything; his stories read like TO
names and the thought that she was
the only girl who had ever enraptured
him gratified her pride. He touched
her heart, too. How different from
prosaic Jack Strange!
She remembered, with mixture OF
penitence and delight, that last even
ing he had taken her into his arms.
