CONGRESS ASKED TO AID
SOCIAL Center WORK
Resolution Asking Appropriation Of
5000 Adopted by Home and

Appropriation by Congress of $4,000

Prof z. ]. Ward of the United States
bureau of education in urging the de-
velopment and extension of social CEN
tiers here.
The community center movement
gives US the opportunity here in Wash

try for the constructive and adequate
answer to community problems" he
said. When every public schoolhouse
is used as the forum of frank and fear

substituted the community club for the
Dolicemap's club as the agency for Sc

when we depend upon the big stick Of
human fellowship in place of the big

WHY One sneezes.

There is more than one cause for
sneezing, and persons may differ in
their susceptibility to Them" says q
specialist in diseases of the nose and
throat.
"A bright line will cause some per.
sons to sneeze. the pollen of certain
plants will affect others, and most
people are likely to sneeze in the
presence of dust. Such sneezing is
due to superficial irritation.
THE sneeze caused by the effect
Of cold is different. 1t is an attempt
Of nature to cure you. She makes
you sneeze for the same reason that
she makes you shiver-to generate
heat for warming the blood and pre-.
venting you from taking more cold
to help to relieve the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an
act of the nose alone, this being
merely the part of the body where it
explodes. 1t is an act of the entire
body, during which every muscle
gives a Jump. The body is affected
by spasmodic effort to warm the
entire system and throw off cold"

WHAT WOMEN TALK ABOUT.

And then she was aware of, first,

His memory till 1t grew a part

When group of young women are
talking together, IL there's bride
among them she drags in something
about her husband whether it fits into
the conversation or not Her blush
and the eagerness with which she says
it evidence the subject she's fond of
talking about.
The seasoned married women have
long since found it tedious and Of no
pleasure in dragging their husbands
into their conversation. He is an old
story to most of them, while others
are glad to forget for few brief mo-
ments that there is such a parsonage.
What, then, do they talk about?
Their children, of counsel Each one
will tell you proudly that her boy or
girl is at the head of the class. When
you talk of a score or more of such
women, whose children all go to the
same school and belong to that par
ticular class, If they're all at the head,
how many heads 1t must have to 1t
and no foot to stand on The spinsters
when they get their heads together
discuss him."
They start in bravely over their af-
ternoon tea, or bridge, to discuss, art,
literature or music. But they always
wind up by dragging some forlorn
bachelor or widower into the topic of
conversation. If not their own broth
er who is talked of it is somebody
else's brother. They are veritabIe
encyclopedias on who's single or, if
, he's engaged how many flirtations or
serious love affairs he's had, whether
he's matrimonially inclined, or is not
to be caught in the marriage net.
When you see bevy of older girls
crowding close together, looking mys-
FERROUS, each with finger on her lips
and a hand over her heart, they are
promising faithfully on their word of
honor that they will never tell what
one Of their number is confiding to
them about her beau. One after anoth-
er discloses her love affair. One beau
is sulky; another too cold; while yet
another is too affectionate; some 9TH
er one fiirts; still another makes life
uncomfortable by his jealousy, being
quite as bad as the next beau under
discussion who keeps her guessing as
to what his intentions are.
BY the time these young women are
through their cOnfabs each fellow
talked about has had his peculiarities
pretty well threshed out. Dances,
balls, skating, shedding, barn frolics,
surprise parties and all the pleasures
known to sweet innocent girlhood are
dragged into conversation as a side
issue. What girls do not learn by COM
pairing notes isn't worth knowing. Man

ously.

tations which her fancy maps out for
the future of this one and that one
future in which they will have no
crosses, no burdens to bear, no
storms; only sunshine and fair wealth
er. Even the aged grandma, sitting
peacefully knitting in the chimney cor
ner, has her expectations-of meeting
those she has loved and lost; who
have gone on before.
Men, too, know the sweets of ex-
pectation quite as fully as do women.
Deny it though he may, there is
scarcely man who has not his expec-
tation of marrying and settling down
after he has taken his fling of life's
gayeties. He has his happy expecta-
tion of home from which he can
shut out dull care and the world s
worries; the expectation of loving
life who will come to the door to
meet him with a smile; of a troop
of sturdy youngsters romping through
the halls each eager to be first to
welcome daddy.
Expectation never ends in the hui
man breast. When the children of
his brain fancies have become reali-
ties-are young men in college-ex-
pectation is even more keen in his
breast, in their behalf. He drives
harder than ever at his business to
accumulate money to give each one
a start. He has joyful expectations
Of seeing this one professional man.
that one a merchant and the other
upon fame's highest pinnacle.
This one may blunder, that one
may fall, and the other sidestep from
grace, but his expectations neither
droop nor fail. They are ever buoy
ant. The patient in the last stages of
fatal malady would succumb at
once without struggle were it not
for that wonderful rainbow of hope
the joyful expectancy of recovery.
The physician, also, feels the thrill
of expectancy in his breast-reward-
ing him for his faithful performance
of duty. He will tell you, Where
there Is life there is always hope"
The lawyer pins his faith to expec-
fancy to win no matter how many diff
culties face him. This very faith he
imbues others with, and the legal bat
tie is won. The artist from the OPP
cratic stage, the queen of the drama,
the merry-hearted chorus girl, fairly
live upon their expectations of gold
en- future. What would the shop girls
life be without that gleam-expecta-
ton? 1t is ofttimes the ladder by
which she mounts from obscurity to
wealth.
Every human being may have his,
or her, moments of dependency, but
the joy of expectancy will scatter
them. Keep the lamp of expectancy
burning in your heart. You can, if
you will, surmount every obstacle
through the joy of expectation!

LIQUOR MEN AND LABOR.
Conducted by the National Woman'p
Christian Temperance Union.)

@t4gON WEN AMI LA6OH-
Before the convention OF the Ameri.
can Federation OF Labor there was .
demand by the liquor interests or or
CARNATIONS identified with them, that
the American Federation Of Labor
line up with the liquor men In their
fight against prohibition. Mr.. Charles
Sickle, writing in the Continent, says
that the atmosphere of the convention
was so decidedly unfriendly to such
action that the liquor men were
easily persuaded to drop the entire
question. Throughout the conven-
tion," continues Mr.. Steele, the liquor
men were strangely quiet, refraining
from taking any part In any Of the
discussions. for fear of arousing the
enmity of anybody whose opinions
might be controverted. G g4
"A mass meeting for the purpose Of
discussing the relation OF labor to the
saloon was held on the first Sunday
afternoon of the convention. and was
attended by about one thousand per.
sons. With the use of government
statistics and logic which appealed to
the workers, facts were presented
which battered down the arguments Of
the liquor men that the abolition Of
the saloon would create labor panic.
The statement that the labor men
in England had not only organized
labor officials temperance fellowship
with which the best leaders were iden-
titled. but that bartenders, brewery
workers and others in the liquor In
dustry were not considered worth or
ganizing by the British Trades con-
gress, had a marked effect on the au-
dience."

URGE KINDNESS TO ANIMALS

2. They are especially liable to

this world that we ought to do every
thing we can to lessen, and not to In

5. 1t is cowardly and contemplate
to cause a living, sentient creature un-
necessary or avoidable suffering.
6. The animals do 30 much for US
in so many ways, ministering to our
needs, that they earn exemption for
their. various races from cruelty. suf-
fering and i'll treatment.
z. Selfish and callous disregard Of
their rights can only react disastrous

man family, and make other similar
evils appear excusable. 1t is q short
step from cruelty to animals to cru

The good-looking masher should not
consider all pretty women who do not
fatty rebuke him fish for his net.
1t cannot be denied that the general
run Of women love to be admired.
They are not averse to knowing that
masculine eyes are bent upon them
with admiration. They are sure that
their new gown is becoming and their
new hat makes a picture for them.
They may drop their eyes demurely as
a flush of pleasure deepens the rose
bloom in their cheeks. but the masher
mustn't take this indication as a cover
acceptance of his attentions.
Should he become bold and attempt
to get into conversation, he may find
that he has run up against a perilous
snag. All women do not meet the stu.
alton in the same way. The vain young
miss who was so delighted by his ad-
miration comes quickly to her senses.
While one will ignore him altogether,
another goes into Mysteries. Men who
have wives. daughters and sisters are
apt to handle the dandy numerically
and without gloves.
The masher who would make a prey
of pretty, unprotected women soon
finds that she discovers protectors
willing to fight her battles willingly
for her. The minions Of the law are not
