So much damage has been done of
late to the beach front at Broadkill
beach, near here, that cottage owners
have moved their cottages back several
hundred feet. The recent storms have
played considerable havoc with them
and it was feared that with another
good storm they would be washed into
the sea.
Following "Clean-Up Weeks, ="
Chautauqua Weeks" and ''Clean-Up
Days." the town of Milton is now

The idea is to have every person owing

General Joffre, the French Comman-

the vast armies in France is disclosing
himself military genius of the first
order, while General French in charge
of the English forces and but little
younger, is also doing great and diff
cult work, the labors of both these aged
chieftans being the more arduous owing
to a bitter winters campaign, the
numbers engaged, and the unexampled
ferocity and persistence of the combat.

THE SUFFRAGE MELTING POT

New York, Mar. 16.
The Suffrage Melting Pot'' which
was a prominent factor in raising
money for the suffrage campaigns in
in the seven western states last fall,
has been opened again this year and re-
dedicated by the National American
Woman Suffrage Association to the
service of New York, Pennsylvania
New Jersey, and Massachusetts. In a
proclamation issued by DR.. Anna How
ard Shaw, President of the MA. w. S.
A, the women of the country are urged
to give up what gold and SILVER trinkets
they can spare to help their sisters IN
the campaign states.
This year is one of the most impor-
tant in the history of our movement
says the proclamation. -Four great
eastern States submit their amendment
this Fall. We recognize that the
friends of suffrage, both men and wo-
men, have had extraordinary taxes laid
epon them in the last ten months, and
we, in common with all other organiza-
tlons, are finding it exceedingly difficult
to meet the financial situation. But we
have plan that is rich in possibilities.
We have made application for q
copyright on the name of the Suffrage
Helting Pot, in order to preserve the
use and benefit of it, for the cam
paign states now and in the future,
and we herewith authorize the opening
OF melting pots for the benefit of the
states submitting amendments in 1915.
Particularly we address ourselves to
you; the women of Massachusetts.
OF New York, of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, and urge that you leave in
your treasure boxes no bit of gold or
silver that can possibly be spared. We
ask you to give something that may
mean sacrifice to the end that there
may be money in the campaign chests
for the struggle you are now facing. :"
The National has opened melting
pot at the Headquarters, sos Fifth
Avenue. AS rapidly as gold and silver
trinkets are received from the women,
they will be melted up into bullion and
converted into coin of the realm for the
suffrage campaigns.

Greta dropped her knitting and
looked at Hans, but he was too sound

Greta said: 81 wish for food stable,

"You have one more WISH" said the
old woman, when Greta did not make
a second wish.
81 wish Hans had big box of to-
bacco," said good-natured Greta.
"And now wish for yourself" said
the little old woman. "You shall have
another because you wished for others

ooh, do not need anything, thanl
you," replied Greta, "but it would b.

full of healthier women. Yes, indeed,
this is absolutely true! There are SO
many girls who follow sedentary occu-
pations sitting all day at a desk, or
typewriter, or table. The only real
exercise they get is little walking,
and that only tires them, because they
are so thoroughly unfit Their mus
cles are fiabby and soft through dis
use; their cheeks are pale; their sup
ply of energy is virtually nil; their
eyes are dull, and their figures are
listless and decidedly inclined to
stoop."
| This is all perfectly true, and the |
wonder is that these girls, hold out as
they do. Day after day they take no
exercise, and on rare holidays, if they
swim or walk or dance with sudden
squirt of energy, the unaccustomed ef-
fort wearies them so greatly that their
would-be health-bringing holiday leaves
them more tired and slack and stiff
than they were before!
These girls seem to believe that the
only form of exercises which can posi-
, bly do them good is something which
, requires a lot of time; and time is
: something they cannot spare Also
: they think it costs money-and SO 1t

criticism on the subject of dancing. 1T
is a foolish way of spending ones
time," she declared, land have abb
solutely set my face against any OF
my daughters learning how to dance
If they want exercise, let them walk
in the fresh air. Dancing never did
any one any good, but only a great
deal of harm. Look at all the expo
nents of dancing, and see how thin
they are. 1t isn't healthy. Besides, it
makes a girl keep late hours and lose
her looks altogether"
While it must be conceded that the
keeping of late hours is very far from
beneficial, at the same time, no one
but a very foolish woman would make
wholesale condemnation of anything Sc
healthy as dancing. One. only has to
read Greek history to note the very
high place which that most athletic
of races gave to dancing in theil
