The Tenderloin isn't very proper place
for little boy or girl to grow up. The
workers for the Volunteers OF America
know that because they see at first hand
the deplorable conditions in the Tender
loin, for they move about the district

advice wherever they can.

Announcement OF the intention Of the

Lloyd, secretary of the association. The
exact date of the meeting has not been
determined, but it will take place soon
so that the Board of Education may hear
the official opinion of the alumnae at Its
monthly meeting In September.
Various members favor the indorse-
ment of various candidates, so that
warm discussion may ensue, but the board
OF managers will definitely recommend the
selection of a woman, whoever she may
be Mrs. Lucy Langdon Williams WIZ

and head of the Department of Biology at

MEN Judge the veracity Of men by tho
| lHl logic of their statements. Women
Judge, with higher skill and nobler in
tuition, by the look in mems eyes. So in
nine cases out of ten a man will judge
right. and that tenth case in which he
fails. will be through his failure to see
through tricky logic, And so. in nine
| cases out of ten, a woman will Judge
right, and in the tenth instance will fail
because she does not read deep enough
in mems eyes.
AN of which would not matter enough
to worry three minutes about If 1t were
not for the fact that a lot of money is
lost every year by women to men with
persuasive glances and cheap logic that
would not fool the biggest simpleton of a
man in the world. These 3windlers, with
tender eyes, sell women whole peach farms
right off the map, and the women never
have anything to show for II but the map
and sometimes not even that, for some-
times it's a fake map.
They also sell shares in mines that
don't exist. And little fortunes melt and
little hearts break, and there is no help
for it. But stop! There is help for it,
after all. 1t is a woman who has come
10 the rescue OF women VINO nave money
to lose. She is Miss Mary II. Ingham,
vice president of the Equal Franchise
League and secretary Of the State Pro-
gressive League. She has been engaged
to conduct woman's department for the
firm of William p Bonbright & Co., Inc,
dealers in securities, 437 Chestnut street.
Miss Ingham shows women how to
manage their own affairs, that is to say,
the only affairs on earth that women
don't manage already The whole world
was given TO woman TO fashion as she
should see tit. One little GIFT did the
gods withhold, the knowledge of the in
tricaces of business. OF course this has
probably been rectifed by the time this
goes to press. Perhaps 1t would be more
polite to say that, until recently, womcr

PARROTS CRY JJNITES
PAIR AFTER 40 YEARS
Knowing Poll Recognizes Long
Lost Brother in Passing
Automobile

Hello, Uncle Joe'-an improptu salu-
the reunion at Live Oak, Cal, of two
brothers who had not seen each other
for 40 years
Joe and Ezra Corbett left orphans in
Iowa, separated when boys. Joe went
West and located in Idaho. Ezra found
work in Kansas. married. and finally
moved to California and settled in the
San Joaquin Valley. Both prospered
Joe Corbett and his family arrived in
Live Oak one afternoon, en- route to the
Panama-Pacihc Exposition. AS they
stopped in First street to ask directions,
along came family In camp wagon,
headed for the mountains north of Oro-
vile.
In cage on the wagon was a parrot.
When the wagon was opposite the auto
mobile, the bird sat up. looked around,
and cried shrilly:
"Hello. Uncle joe"
The members of the auto party looked
up in surprise. and the driver of the car
said Jocularly 1t was knowing bird that
could call a perfect stranger by name
Ihe remark started conversation, and
II was but a few moments before the
men discovered they were brothers.
The ihtroduction of the members of
both families followed the handclasp of
the brothers, and then both parties set to
work TO celebrate the reunion.
A tablecloth was spread under a huge
oak tree nearby, and soon a meal was
ready II was long one-three hours
for there was much TO talk about he
tween courses. When the time came for
each OF the brothers to be on his way.
II was agreed that all should meet st
Ezra Corbett's ranch next September.
The strangest feature about the reunion
is that never before has the parrot in
by name.
