WERE MEN OF FEW WORDS
Great Fighters Wasted Little Time in
Composition Of Dispatches That
Told OF Victory.

It is fitting that the great soldier,
who should be man of deeds rather
than words, should set an example Of
terseness in his dispatches. Thus, at.
ter the capitulation of Prague, Suva-
rolf thus communicated the Joyful
news to his empress, "Hurrah!
Prague!" to which Catherine, not to
be outdone in brevity, answered, BRA.
vO! Field Marshall"
That grim sea dog, Robert Blake.
after gaining one of his famous vic
tories over the French, sent the news
In this concise and businesslike form.
"Met with the French feet; beat,
killed, and burned as per margin"
The Vicomte de Turenne, marshal
OF France, was man of equally few
words, as he proved when, after his
brilliant defeat of Condo at the Dunes
In 1885, he announced his triumph in
ten words: "The enemy came, was
beaten; l am tired; goodnight"
But the worlds greatest generals
have always been models of brevity
as to modesty since the days of
Caesar, whose Il came, saw, con.
quered," sent to his friend Amintius,
after the glorious victory over Phar.
naces at Zela, is the most famous dis
patch in the annals of war.

A Delightful Occasion.

A delightful occasion indeed
was the reception given by Mrs.
Laura Boulware and Mrs. L. M.
Wood Last Friday afternoon be-
tween the hours of three and
six o'clock, during which time
one hundred or more guest en-
joyed the cordial hospitality OF
these charming ladies.
The various rooms presented a
most attractive appearance, red
rambler roses being in profusion
everywhere, with the exception of
the dining room which was decor
ated in pink roses, pink sweet
peas and pink carnations. The
table was especially lovely, a
large cluster of carnations form
ing the centerpiece, with roses
and sweet peas at the corners.
Mms. Wood and Boulware were
assisted in entertaining by Miss
Louise Lyon, who greeted the
guests at the door; Misses Cleo
Patton, Mabel Hawkins and Lu-
Ecille Hord, who presided at the
punch bowl Misses Helen South
ern, Senta Clark, Lenore Bris-
tow and Lena Drescher, who
served in the dining room, and
Mrs. Vesper Buell. and Mrs. j.
IN. Southern who otherwise as
sisted.
During the afternoon a number
of vocal and instrumental selec-
lions were rendered. Miss Ruth
Wilson sang "Until" by Win
fred Sanderson, Miss Mabel Haw-
kins sang eff I Were Rose" by
Hesselberg, and Miss Lucille Proc
tor sang GA Gypsy Maiden T.
by Parker, and "Rosalie" by Reg
inald Dekoven. At the piano
Miss Marguerite Reid rendered
"Eolian Whispers" by Auchestel
and "Humoresque" by Dvorak,
Miss Lillian McNutt rendered
Gala Bien Aime" by Schutt, and
Mrs. Thomas Dawson gave "a
Polish Dance" by Schwarenka,
and "The Mexican Dance" by
Buder.

FixInu the Crime.

1t was only nice friendly kind Of a
"sing-song" at the hydro. but Just be-
cause 1t was free expectations ran
high, and the critics were In full force.
The young man who rose to sing "The
Maiden Fair With Golden Hair" had
the best intentions In the world, but
somehow he was not up to what Is
called concert pitch" Indeed, lie was
very much below 1t, and after making
two or three attempts he had to capitu-
late and resume his seat at the back.
Then the benevolentlooking chairman
rose.
Ladies and gentlemen, there IL not
\ word to be said against the young
gentleman. He did his best, and what
can man do moref He deserves our
thanks for hiB willingness to come for
ward. But do think that the person
who asked him to sing should be shot"

Hard to Improve On Prison
Site Selected By the Council

Letters received by the Times indicate
there is considerable misunderstanding
about the house of correction site.
The house of correction is now. and
will continue to be primarily manufac-
turing institution.
AS such, it must be situated near a
railroad, so that it may secure supplies
and ship its products easily.
The farm feature is secondary.
Those inmates who are not fitted for
work in the shops will do work on the
farm.
The land must also be near enough to
the city so that water and sewer facili-
ties can easily be obtained, and the cost
of transporting prisoners will be light
The site which the common council has
accepted combines all these advantages.
Moreover, the land is likely to increase
in value with considerable rapidity, and
thus become . good investment for the
city.

To the Editor OF The Times:
II Is fact that the officials OF the
city OF Detroit do not realize that
the city. Is growing and that the
courts demand a competent Italian
interpreter. They have other ma,
tionalities doing police duty and in,
terpreting at the same time. For
instance, this week they had an ltal
ian homicide case and there was
no interpreter there TO translate for
the accused. There was another
criminal case there and there was
no Interpreter. The board OF health

an Italian. There are 10000 Italians

The School in the Woods.
~ Or. FRANK cRAMg
(Copyright. 1915. b. PRANK Ctansl

Every once In while YOU come across
something that makes you (klad to think
that the world Of men Is not entirely
wrapped up in conventional ideas, that
q few brave, free spirits yet exist.
One Of these cheering things is The
Little School in the Wo4ds." recently
established in New England.
1t is actually In the WOODS, real. bic

And there few peoplet who see th(
scared by tradition, have 4 school with
no ideas except the beautiful, simple, and
clear ideas that reason givesL
The first principle laid down in this
school is that the child has an inalien'
able right to be happy.
Learning, department. SKILL, and all
such things come best through happi-
ness, not drudgery, threats, iand repres-
sion. Isn't that glorious idea?
Then, also, they teach here mostly
through play A child's FREE efforts 81
self-expression are shrewdly guided. II
you want him to work, let him play; he
works at play ten times harder than at
a task: it is the business Of the teacher
to know how to use play ae an edun-
tional process.
The children learn here, but knowledge
comes as the adjunct to effort. The
Creator never made men tP learn nrst
and then do; the real lea1ning Gomez
through doing.
So almost every minute Is spent Ous
of doors, the little hands ever doing,
doing, doing.
Here's the way these wise teachers put
| it. Outdoor life gives the c4ildren hrst'
