at midnight gone with the express

secured the sack of samples, and car

old deserted and vacant cabin. They
hung blankets over the windows Of the
cabin and then by the light of a candle
they opened the sack, They found to
their surprise, that the sample-hags

What to do for those women who
have been deserted by their hus-
bands remains still an open question.
At present ii seems impossible for us
TO invent ways and means to pre-

No Longer Speculation.
The question of widows pensions,
Dr. Simon concluded. has ceased
being a matter of mere political or
social speculation. The nation thus
far has been Won over to some con-
structive method of binding up the
domestic wounds. which somehow our
social system has engendercd. and OF
keeping together the families where
the male bread winner has either de-
serted or IL deau. 1t certainly IL wise

discussion on this whole question in

the distribution of the funds; whether
tho moneys shall be distributed di-

Individual Must Fulfill Duty
Toward Fellow Men By
Payment of Fair Wage and
Reform in Hours.
By FLORENCE E. YODER.

A DEQUATE administration of
~ laws and the proper disposal
n OF funds. according to DR..
Abrsm Simon, Is the ques-
ton which now comes up before the
public as result of the agitation
Of the question of pensions for
mothers who have been deprived OF
other means Of support.
Only through cooperation can this
administration be made just, he as
Serts. State, municipal. and Federal
Government. uniting with tho indi-
Nidual. alone can hope to bring about
the completely satisfactory admins
tration which will do the most
fundamental good to both COM
munity and Individual.
While many hold that the ques-
tion should be settled by the pas
sage OF law by the Federal Gov
ernment. the majority OF those who,
like Rabbi Simon. have had an al
most unlimited practical experience
in the question of aiding the needy.
agree that tho proper distribution OF
moneys. without graft" can alone
be accomplished through the coop
Grafton of all forces. and not alone
through n Federal amendment.
Much Discussion.
Ever since the passage OF the first
bill providing such a pension and tho
expressed doubt Of its adaptabilitS
as law in the larger cities arose.
the question of politics. of the big
money interests, has been widely
discussed
The success. however, OF such leg
tslation in Pennsylvania. and tho
subsequent passage of a bill provid-
ing for like measures in New York
Is most assuring.
Dr. simon contends that through
the Cooperation Of State. municipal
and Federal governments the cases
OF helpless mothers can be reduced
to a minimum by the prevention
OF widowhood through conservation
of the health OF the father.
The result OF the trial OF this
new legislation he said in a recent
interview. has led at least TO this
one hopeful conclusion: 1t is found
that over 80 per cent OF the women
thus helped are widows. while a
small per cent have been deserted
b.; their husbands. The average age
at death OF the husband ia about
men have died OF tuberculosis and
Z per cent OF industrial accidents.
Most Of the women are employed
and it Is found that they. too, have
been suffering physically from over
work, want OF food, and unsanitary
quarters.
Tho unsanltary conditions in
death "f the husbands because
of them and because of in
dustrial accidents prove that the
causes of ths death of the latter
are both preventable. In other
words. the premature widowhood in

Archery At Home.
It is easy enough to make a target.
The usual ones are of thick straw, so
made that arrows cling to them and
the score may be taken at the end OF
each round. The beginner who doesn't
wish to invest in a large target may
do very well with a smaller homemade
one. This would be especially appro-
pirate If a small green or city yard
were used. which would mean shorter
course. for In that case the smaller tar
get would tend to average shooting
conditions. The target should be prop
ped up on &n easel on the level with
the eyes, Just as far away as ones
court allows. Twenty or thirty yards
is the average distance. but even a
shorter distance should not be scorncd

ors. to aid in keeping the scores sep
arate. 1t never pays to buy cheap ar
rows. for they split and break after
they have been used a very few times.
In addition to the playing equipment

does not restrain the upper part of the

There Is so little eXertion connected

posture bears an important relation to
health and vitality" says Miss Amy
Morris Homans. head of the department
of hygiene at Wellesley college.
Every woman has not the corrective
apparatus of a well-fitted college sym
nasium and few can be induced to join
classes. yet there are certain sports
that may be enjoyed in the average
yard with resulting increase of bodily
efficiency.
No more schedule of exercises could
correct faults of posture more surely
than archry. The movement necessary
for raising and poising the bow and
taking careful aim throws back the
shoulders, expands the chest and raises
the head. This sport has the further
advantage which will specially appeal

Ut,e Indians are a race whose use of
the bow and arrow has made them
