SANDWICH BILLINGS.

All kinds of dried fruit, when chopped or ground, make nice sand wich filings for lunch boxes and afternoon teas. Soak the fruit; then put through a meat grinder, season with lemon or orange juice, and spread between white or brown bread. Combination of dates and preserved ginger, prunes and nuts figs and dates, etc, are also accep able, while the banana, simply sprinkled with salt, or sliced, then marinated with lemon juice and honey, makes a delicious sandwich filling.
 A mixture of dried fruits, chopped and combined with cream cheese will also provide pleasant change and a few chopped walnuts or al monds will greatly improve the flavor of most fruit sandwiches.

A Feminine Sense of HumOr


S1111116111S11 S11SS$SSS1S11SS Of all the silly fallacies current about the female seX-such as that woman cannot keep a secret--is enc which is most untruthful. It is that women do not have a sense of humor.
 Different Kinds.
 Some women don't, but then neither do some men. As d Wto t women have just as much sense Of humor as men To be sure the two have a different sense of humoE, and that's just where the fallacy started Man didn't understand woman's sense of humor, and so, in his know it-all, superior way he said she hadn't any. Women have been so accustomed to having men tell her what she did and didn't have that she thought it must be true.
 Now that the feminist movement has come along and woman has dis covered that she has a soul and a mind (two attributes which men in times past have denied her), she is beginning to believe in her own sense of humor also, says a New York writer.
 At the Circus.
 Of course there are some things that do not amuse women as they do men. For instance. the slapstick style of humOr. It is the little boy rather than the little girl to whom the clowns antics are most hilari- ously funny.
 The little boy need not be em- phaszed for fathers, uncles and grandfathers have been seen to laugh as heartily, when one clown perpe- trated the exquisite joke of kicking another clown, as their young com panions for whose sake, theoretically, they attended the circus. Women particular variety of humorous ap- preciation.
 At the vaudeville show it is the  same. When one artist crushes another artists" hat in, or slaps him on the back so that he falls over the male portion of the audi CT bit while most of the feminine contingency appear to miss this fine point of humOr
 CHARACTER HUMOR.
 On the other hand the nonsense humor appeals more to women than men.
 The humoy of eXaggeration, the typically American kind of humor that takes a phrase or a situation of a peculiarity, and plays on if and exaggerates to absurdity is ap- precated by most men and women alike
 Women, as rule, appreciate char acter humor more than men. The humor that is in character rather than in event. For instance, Pigs is Pigs" is the humor of event: the story of the little girl who was told by the nurse not to let her little brother into the room while she was in her nightie because nice lit tie girls didn't let little boys see them in their nightgowns and who promptly called him in with the ex- planation You tan tum in now, I looked it off" is character humor, There is scarcely woman who couldn't appreciate the humor of that.
 MORE LITERAL.
 Women, especially of the older generation, are more literal than men. It was woman of the older generation who didn't see anything funny in the nonsense rhyme: ''The optimist fell ten stories
 And at each window bar,
 He called out to his friends,
 All right so far"

EMPLOYERS BEGINNING
RESPECT LABOR LAWS

Oscar F. Nelson, chief state fac
tory Inspector, reports that employ
ers of women and children in fac
tories, mercantile establishments and
workshops have endeavored to live
up to the labor laws during the pre-
Christmas rush season with. greater
effort than ever before.
The state factory inspector
ascribes this Improvement to his new
system of night inspections. During
the past six weeks Mr.. Nelson has
had his scouts in factories and stores
during the day and night hours to as
certain with what degree of truthful
ness employers were observing the
laws, especially those restricting the
hours of labor of women and chill
dren.

tered against the loop department.

Mr. Nelson's observations are that
employers are doing better each year.
This may be gathered from the fol-
lowing figures. During the past six
weeks 6,932 inspections were made
during night and day, resulting in
only 80 prosecutions, whereas two
years ago 1T violations were
brought in the courts as result Of
4,790 inspections. Last year 124 Vio-
lations were prosecuted after making
5,219 inspections.

COMMISSIONER

Some time ago paid officials of the
Everett Railway, Light q Water Co,
together with their attorney, called
upon the city council to induce that
body to pass an ordinance regulating
auto buses. The fundamental griev.
ance was that the auto buses were
making fearful inroads on the sacred
profits of the street car company.
Although the arguments presented
to the council were clothed and
couched in terms of public morals
public interests, and demands, fair
competition, etc, when reduced to
their lowest terms, what remained
was request that the council regu
late the auto buses by ordinance in
such a manner rs would practically
put them out of business.
At this conference 1t was suggested
that the company attorney and city
attorney draw up an ordinance cover.

so, as the street car companies as
sumed the privilege of suggesting
ordinances that would protect their
profits and further their business, the
chauffeurs had just as much right to
prepare an ordinance to meet the
public approval and protect their bust
ness.
The union selected a committee
which met with Attorney Loutitt and
drew up a proposed ordinance which
was introduced at the council meeting

What Kelly Did.

Commissioner Kelly got busy at
once and ordered the blue lights off
the auto buses. These lights were
carried to designate them from priv
ate autos.
Mr.. Kelly wrote to various cities of
the Coast in search Of ordinances re-
lating to auto-bus traffic; in short,
he showed the people at once where
he stood on the question Finally
the railway and light company sub
mitted proposed ordinance, and Mr..
Kelly had copies of others from cities
where the business was regulated to
suit the street car companies. Out
of this assortment was to come an
ordinance that would fill the needs of
Everett.

DEBS TO HTS BROTHER

No one can say or do a thing OF
this kind like Debs. 'Ionate 9756'
of the Michigan penitsntiary, after
sending presents to his friends at
home, sent 50 to the Good Fellow
editor of Detroit newspaper for use
in making happy the children of the
poor. His letter was marvel OF
simple pathos, particularly where he
said: "The money / send was hon.
estly earned at the rate of Is cents
day"
Debs saw the letter and immedi-
ately sent a reply to the lone Inmate
1885, no doubt most priced present
he ever received, In part the letter
read:
"My Dear Brother send you my
greeting with my heart in It. You
may be a convict, but you are my
brother, and when your message came
to me / was touched to tears. There
IS more or real religion of Jesus
Christ in the spirit you breathe out
to the world from behind prison bars
than in all the orthodox sermons ever
preached. You love the little chill
dren, even as he did, and you are in
prison, while he was crucified. You
had the misfortune to be born into a
society not yet civilized The society
that sent you to prison devours it's
own offspring. 1t is this Christian So

whom you, one of it's convicts, feel
moved to send the pennies coined
from your blood and agony. What a
sermon and what a rebukel If you

That is all. 1t is complete within
itself. 1t is Debs, not words, but a

PUBLIC LIBRARY AFFAIRS
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION
Religious Bigotry in Evidence

Ominous portents and rumblings of
revolt are in the air these days in the
public library circles of Everett. The
forces of rebellion seem only to lack
a fearless leader and means of public
expression to start something that
will make the European war seem
commonplace. Mismanagement, inef-
ficiency, violent opposition to certain
church interference as to what shall
appear on the shelves and paper racks,
together with a sort of general dis
satisfaction on the part of the users
Of the library seem to make up the
basis for the unrest.
Mrs. Sansdown's term as member
of the library board has expired and
she has signified her desire not to
serve another term. The city charter
provides that the mayor appoints
members of the board with the con-
sent of the council,
The forces of dissatisfaction are in
sisting that some one of backbone,
aggressiveness and impartiality be
placed on the board; some one who
will act as check on the present
management
G, w. Anguish and Mrs. Katherine
H. Hodgins seem so far to be the
favorite candidates. What will come
of the affair remains to be seen from
further developments.
