Again and again, both you and l,
have heard well-meaning comrades
say: 81 am as good Socialist as you,
even if liant got no red card" The
comrade is right about it, too, after
we find out just what he means by be-
ing a Socialist, which usually consists
in lambasting the local politicians, dis
cussing religion with anyone who can
tagonizing everyone with whom he
comes in contact.
This is just the kind of service the
party is organized to eliminate. So
cialism has been retarded long
enough by just such tactics. When
we come face to face with such self
styled Socialists we are forced to ad-
NIT the truth of Bernard Shaw's ut
terance that Socialism will come de-
spite the Socialists" Long enough
we have had to live down the influ-
ence of such comrades and long ago

worse enemy than such a comrade.
The time has now come when patience
is no longer a virtue with such a man
or woman.
The service that Socialism must
have in order to go, forward is the
service of a comrade who is willing,
and who does carry his message into
the camp of the enemy and deliver it
with smile, the comrade who reaches
out and tries to convert his fellow
working man and who leaves the
preachers and politicians to their
trade. The Red Card comrade is the
comrade who realizes that we are Iiv-
ing In an age Of syste matized effort,
that the organizations opposed to So
eiaIism are pregnant with ruin to us
unless met by counter organization.
That the only weapon in the hands of
the worker is organization, and that Is
effective because it is so large, that
there are SO many Of us, and when
WI have all joined hands, we will only
have to take what seems good for us /;
that in that time there will be no one
left from whom to demand the things
we want to live, that when we organ
ize ourselves there will be no talk OF
direct action since there will be no
one on whom to act
The Red Card comrade is he who
knows that much work is necessary to
win the workers to Socialism, that
this work must be done by the So
cialists themselves, that it must be
done systematically if done at all. He
knows, too, that the Socialist party
is the property of the workers simply
from the fact that the workers finance
it, thereby controlling it, that wher
he fails in this, the Socialist party will
cease to exist as party of the work
ers. He knows too the stupendou'
work before it, that without it there

the kitchen. She was starting upon :ie
hardest part of her reform.

every evening for an hour"
Robert did not answer. He was seized
with violent spell of coughing and
sought relief in the open doorway. Sally.

denly into the pantry.
Mildred repeated her remark about the
reading.
Yes, miss. Th-thank you, ma'am,"
choked he, and followed his benefactor
into the library. She read from Emer-
son for an hour. The man thanked her
humhly and gratefully and escaped to the
kitchen.

had. He went errands. scrubbed We

August 21-Dorothea Klumpke,
Bessie Vonnoh.

Bessie Onaholema VOnnoh. who was
born August p, 1872. in ST. Louis, was
educated in the public schools OF Chicago.
and when she was only % years old she
had gained such distinction as sculptor
that she was given commission to make
a statue of art for the Columbian Expo
sition. This passed the approval of the
public at the time, but Bessie Vonnoh
was not especially distinguished from
other sculptors of her time till three
years later. when she began a series of
portrait statues of contemporaries.
which, likened as they have been to the
Tanagra fEurines. are still intensely
modern in their spirit and portray truth
fully and clevcrly the traits of those
whom they represent In 1899 she was
married to Mr.. Robert William Vonnoh.
a distinguished painter.
Dorothea klumpke, one Of our most
distinguished women astronomers, was
the daughter of German parents. Her
father was one of the "forty-niners'' in
San Francisco, and her mother was a
woman of unusually advanced ideas. who
determined that the four daughters Of
her large family should be given equal
opportunities with the boys. Her efforts
bore fruit. for Anna Elizabeth, the eldest
daughter, gained fame as an artist She
was Rosa Bonhcur's nearest friend, and
on the death of the latter received the
celebrated French artists fortune and
estate in France. Augusta. the second
daughter. married a professor of medi-
cine in Paris. and herself gained distinc-
ton as physician. Julia was a violnist
of unusual powers. and Dorothea was the
first woman to gain the degree of doctor
of mathematics at the Paris Academy Of
Science, where she studied for many
years She obtained the post of assist
ant at the Paris Observatory, though APP
pointment was awarded by competitive
examination and there were fifty French
men competing with her. She gained dis
tinction in photographing the stars and
made several successful balloon ascen-
sions She was considered the foremost
woman aeronaut for several years.

IT'S TIME TO SET The TABLE.

A very simple and inexpensive meal
tempting than a repast of broiled lob
sters and turkey. French artichokes and
nesselrode pudding. So the first thing to
do-and the last thing. too-before serv-
ing a meal is to set the table daintily.
Some unframed maids seem to like to
use their imagination in devising new
place to put each table utensil. Spoons
have an odd way. under their ministrs-
tons. of wandering where they ought
not to be. The glass of water is some
times on one side of the plate, some
times on the other. One never knows
where to look for the salt
You know how annoying 1t is to sit
down to table of this sort. So the first
thing to do Is to set the table neatly, and
always in the same way.
Remember. too. that absolute cleanlf-
ness should mark the table. Dishes
should be shining and clean. and silver
and glass should fairly sparkle. 1t is no
more difficult to wash dishes clean than
to wash them so that they ar" not quite
clean. And it is not an extravaganza,
when 1t is possible. to spend little
more money for laundry so that you can
have a clean cloth always on the table.
If no accidents occur the cloth may be
used for three or four days, but 1t it be-
comes spotted, especially in hot weather,
exchange it for n fresh one. Some other
little economy can be effected to offset
this extravaganza.
Then there are flowers. which do so
much to make able more attractive.
Remember, however. that stale flowers
are worse than no flowers. and throw
them away the moment they look with
cred. II they are left on the table for
several days, change the water daily, for
there is sometimes a disagrecable odor
to wet flower stems that is enough to
dampen an ardent appetite.
Such small things influence the appe-
tite that a neat. attractive table plays a
big part in the success of the meal. Re-
member this the next time you are set
ting the table.

Women are subject to a rule believed

The planetary direction is not a lucky
one for political aspirations or activities.
Many surprising defeats will be record
ed in the fall elections.
1t is not an suspicious government I'M
der which to seek positions or to pre-
pare for the future in work or recre-

The malefic power of Saturn will be
felt in many ways before the leaves drop
from the trees. the seers predict 1t will
be manifest in fluctuations in land val
ues, slumps of mining stocks and strikes
that affect the distribution of coal.
This sway of a malefic planet is be-
leved to cause depression of spirit,

thwart business enterprise

Getting Rich with Ragtime.

Ragtime may be on the decline but
the statement that Irving Berlin, the
young Russian Jew. who wrote Alex
anders Ragtime Band "Everybodys
Doing It. Il Want to Be in Dixie"
That Mysterious Rag" and a dozen
other ragtimes which have haunted peo-
pie on both sides of the Atlantic. has
earned as much as 5000 pounds a year
in royalties from his songs, calls atten-
ton TO the amazing success of this young
composer.
AS a youth Irving Berlin served in the
dual role of waiter and entertainer in
a small cafe in Chinatown, New York
He had been taught to sing by his
father, and, having n natural aptitude
for music and gift for mimicry. quick
ly established himself as a popular IA
vorite in Chinatown. where he would sing
twenty to thirty songs a night
Possessing the knack of parodying pop
ular songs, he quickly gained a local
reputation; but his real chance came
when. after Longboat. the Indian run
ner, had defeated that wonderful Italian,
Dorando, he wrote some verses, telling
how an italian porter had bet his shop
on his countryman and lost. He thought
so well Of his effort that he tried to sell

cess. Finally he submitted it to a music
publisher in the hope of selling II as
a song lyric.
why don't you write the music for IL

as partner, Berlin subsequently made A
fortune. IF you do I will buy the song
Irving Berlin wrote the song. and not
long afterwards the former waiter of
the Chinatown cafe was telling his chauf-
feur where to drive him in his l.0oo-

Berlin seized his first chance, and when

DOES CHIVALRY HELP WOMEN?

DR.. Anna Shaw has said a few
things that make US wonder whether
chivalry;y as our grandmothers and
mothers used the term, is really such
help to women after all.
DR.. Shaw-who never minces mat
ters-has said that it was a shame to
say that the spirit of chivalry
prompted the much-talked-about
lynching in Georgia day or so ago.
If it was chivalry that led the mob
to commit this piece Of lawlessness,
then we have had enough of chivalry
And DR.. Shaw remarks that Georgia
where one hears much talk about
chivalry, is one of the least progress
sive States, when it comes to legisla-
ton beneficial to women. The true
spirit of chivalry would make laws
that would protect women rather
than seek vengeance when women
have been brought to grief.
Isn't it true that what we choose to
call chivalry thrives best in the soil
of inequality? Where women are
most helpless, where they are least
protected by law, chivalry comes to
the rescue. At best it is but a make
shift, something to tide over in the
evolution Of things till women have
the legal protection that they need
The child is father to the man,
and even the most elaborate educa-
ton won't drive the boy out of the
heart of man. How like that of an
overgrown school boy is the recent
ly reported confession of the Chicago
millionaire who has been fighting in
the French trenches, when he says
that one of the things the men en-
joy most in the trenches is that they
don't have to wash. For himself, he
says, he never knew what comfort
really was till he had this chance to
revert to the primitive manners OF
his barbarian ancestors.
