the little mermaid saw number OF
children dancing and having good
time, but she did not seem pleased.
Don't you like that picture?" asked
the gull Those children are playing
and having a good time"
Are they?' asked the mermaid
'The children / have seen were play
ing on the shore of the ocean and had
pals and shovels and were running
in and out of the water. They were
having a good warm room. Show me
another picture of the land children. .
You have seen all the pictures

wanted to be a little land girl this
morning. Do you think you would
care to give up your ocean and live as
they do on land?"

happy if they had to live in your coral
house at the bottom of the ocean"

rock where found you this morning"
The gull again touched her with his
beak, and there she was mermaid
again, just as he had found her.

Washington, April 20.-That tht
Daughters of the American Revolution
have lost none of the fighting spirit
which characterized the patriots who
harrassed the British at Lexington and
Concord 140 years ago today, was
shown when the Daughters assembled
here today for their national congress
and biennial election. Not only is
there bitter political strife, but there
are many troubles to adjust and
wounds to heal.
The nationwide campaign for the
two rivals for the office of President
General, Mrs. George T. Guernsey and
Mrs. William C. Storey, will be
brought to a head with the least pos
sible fristion Mrs. Story, who is
seeking reelection, on the claim of
courtesy election, has live opponent
in Mrs. Guernsey of Kansas, who
comes to the convention armed with
endorsements and promises of votes.
Arizona has brought a grievance
which will be threshed out. The
Daughters of that state are said to
have been disfranchised by a ruling
of the national officers holding that
Mrs. w. C. Barnes, for years regent
of Arizona, is not eligible to that office
because of non-residence. Another
storm center is proposed amend
ment to the bylaws which will re-
move from the custody of the historian |
general all historical sketches that |
have been gathered by that office. /
Mrs Bassett, the historian-general, de- /
nounces the action of her fellow Off
GERS in rejecting her official report.
Questions of mileage for the travel
of national officers, and the financial I
tangles of the society's magazine will
be aired at the congress. Altogether,
it will be a busy session for the sew
eral thousand delegates who will at
tend.

One scarcely ever picks up the dali,
paper without seeing in faring head
lines the notice of some disastrous
| marriage and it's unfortunate sequel
If the reason for it's the unfortunate
sequel be analysed, it would in 81
cases out of 100 be found to lie in the
fact that the motive of the marriage
was something very different from
loves young dream-than which, Ac-
cording to the poets, there is nothing
sweeter-and that it was probably
based on the unhappy ending to some
former love affair, thus being 10th
ing more than a marriage of pique!
Where this is the case, one never
could expect happiness to result from
the match. For to marry one person
with the sole intention of showing
another person that he or she is not
the only man or woman in the world
and can be perfectly we'll dispensed
with is poor foundation for life of
conjugal felicity Yet there are thou
sands of disappointed lovers who
today are doing that very thing.
The curious point is that the only
persons who seem really hurt in the
whole affair are the parties to the
themselves. For instance, |
suppose a girl is disappointed in a |
love affair, and the man upon whom |
she has set all her hopes and youth |
full affections proves clearly that he !
has neither the use nor the time for |
them-or for her-her pride is often |

Berlin, April 20.-One of the hardest
working volunteers in the hospitals
| for wounded soldiers is Countess Ina
Won Bassewitz, the morganatic wife
| Of Prince Oscar, the fifth son of the
Kaiser. The pretty romance of the
prince and the noble woman had many
Interruptions, and it seemed for a
time that the bars of royal custom
were to keep them apart forever. The
prince is now at the front, while his
morganatic wife is patiently working
under the rigors of war times in the
hospitals. The Countess is highly
talented, and her father was Minister
of Foreign Affairs and president of
the council of State for Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. When she was chosen one
of the ladies-in-waiting on the EN-
press she became greatly endeared to
the royal family. When Prince Oscar
wooed her, he met with opposition
from his father, and Count Won Bias
sewitz refused to have his daughter
become a morganatic wife But the |!
young Prince won the affection of the |
Count, and through his mother and |
sister brought influence to bear with |
the Kaiser to allow the marriage |
Everything was set for brilliant we'd |
ding in October when the war broke |
out last August, and the young Prince :.
would not take the field before the |
wedding. The Emperor and Empress
were present at the nuptials, and soon
afterwards the young lovers were sep
arated by the war.

in the United States, whose chief output
fconssts Of tomatoes. From statistics
compiled by the National Gamers asso-
citation for the year 1914 il is learned
that among the tomato-producing states
Maryland ranked first with a production
of 5,S50,000 cases of canned tomatoes;
Delaware second, with l,335000 eases;
Indiana third with l,295,000 cases. The
total production for the whole country
amounted TO I5,222,000 cases OF tomatoes
and about 100000 cases of tomato pulp
fused in making catsup, sauces, soups,
etc) The total was therefore over $780,
900 tons, and having an approximate
value of $2S,000,000. If these cans were
placed one on top Of the other, the re-
sulting column would be very nearly 81,
900 miles high, or if placed end to end
in row would encircle the earth one
and half times at the equator. These
figures deal only with the canned product
of factories keeping accurate statistics.
When we remember that perhaps twice
as many more are eaten raw and canned
by the thrifty housewives and girls can
ming clubs, we may get some idea of the
Importance in our national economy OF
the garden tomato.

PUBLICITY FOR SCHOOL NEEDS.
Is Valuable in Securing Cooperation Of
the Community.

Frank publicity in securing the co.
operation of the community in the work
of the schools is urged by w. S. Deffen-
baugh, of the U. S. bureau of education.
in report ON "School Progress in the
Smaller Cities" just issued.
"School boards that are managing the
schools ably and honestly do not fear
to turn on the searchlight," declares Mr..
Deffenbaugh. "The sentiment is grow.
ing among school boards that the public
should know how its money is expended.
In the most progressive schools, the board
and the superintendent are presenting
facts to the people either in printed re-
ports, in newspaper articles, or by both.
"Some schoolmen, however, object to
furnishing the newspapers with school in
formation on the ground that they are
thereby advertising themselves. A su.
perintendent who was complaining about
lack of interest among the parents in
the schools of his city was asked wheth-
er he reported the progress of the schools
through the local papers. He replied that
he did not believe in advertising him
self. He failed to grasp the idea that
school news is not for the purpose of
boosting a superintendent; besides being
legitimate news, it calls attention to the
needs of the work of the school SO that
the school may become more efficient.
"In several cities, as Fredonia, Kans.,
there is an educational issue of the To-
cal paper. In some other cities there
are daily school news notes. On the
whole, the public is becoming better in
formed regarding the schools than it was
a few years ago. The tendency is to-
ward greater publicity by means of
printed reports and newspaper articles.
THAT the schools can work to advan-
tage through women's civic improvement
clubs and through parent teacher associa-
tions has been thoroughly demonstrated
in many of the smaller cities. Such
clubs are often instrumental in the in
of kindergartens, manual
training and domestic science. The SUI
of one school utilized the
clubs of the city by asking that
each club give some consideration to the
question, What can be done to improve
the efficiency of your schools? Each club
discussed the question and sent rep
resentative to present to the teachers
the ideas of the club. In the opinion OF
the superintendent of schools In that
,ity, the plan aroused interest among
The women of the city in better schools"
These and other plans for arousing in
terest in school work are discussed in
chapter ". Vol. of the 1914 report of
the commissioner of education. This IS
