Reform Schools Shameful"

Mrs. Shoff touched lightly upon the
problem OF teaching the immigrant
mother how TO bring up her children as
good American citizens, and the reform
school question. The situation of this
country in regard to the latter she
called shameful.
'In many institutions they treat the
child placed there as IA lost soul. with
out any chance of redemption, she
said. There is more good than bad in
any child and it may be shown if op-
portunity is given"
All these questions, she said, are to
come up before the conference.
The mothers congress IS in the United
States have about 100000 members.
Mrs W. f.. Thatcher is national treas
urer, and Mrs. Arthur A. Biruey of this
city is national secretary. There are
ten vice presidents and board Of man.
ayers, composed of presidents OF the
state branches of the national body.

Advanced by Mrs. Shoff.

These were SIX big ideas in regard
to the welfare of youths and young
children advanced yesterday by Mrs.
Frederic Shoff of Philadelphia. national
president of the Mothers Congresses.
who is in Washington planning for the
twenty-frst annual child welfare con-
ference. to be held at the Raleigh Hotel
from April "a to May l of next year.
Mrs Shoff said that because of the war
in Europe the conference. instead OF
being international, will be pan Amer
ican. 1t is expected that over 500 dele
gates representing the various mothers
congresses all over the western hemi-
sphere will attend.
Mrs Shof declared yesterday that the
greatest problems. mothers congresses
are trying to work out are to obtain
the cooperation of parents and teach
ers in endeavoriug TO educate the child
mentally. morally and physically. and
means to reduce and. eventually TO
prevent heavy and unnecessary NOR
ta1ity.' These topics. probably viii be
the. principal ones to be discussed at
the conference next spring.

The report reiterates the opinion tnat
it takes a year of intensive training to

For One-Year Enlistments.

Il do not believe that the time for
compulsory military service has come
vet" said Mrs. Shoff. Il believe, how
ever. that If the army and navy were
made more attractive and that if busi-
ness interests recognized the lmpor-
tance of military training TO such an
extent that young men would not need
to fear for their positions. there would
he more cniistments. A modified term
of enlistment. preferably of one year,
also would be better than the present
term"
Mrs. Shoff has only. RECENTLY returned
from a tour among the camps of the
troops on the border

said. "If there were active work to
keep them buaily engaged they prob
ably would not feel so badly. At pres
ent they need motherly women to look
after them. ] cannot see why some
good women cannot 60 down there to

She also said that so far as she could
see the physical and. to some extent.
the mental welfare of the troops is well
looked after by friends, the y. NJ. e. A.

FEEL, AWE AT CRATER LAKE
All by Its Characterization
Almost Fascination.

Crater lake has been known to in
Spirc reverence in visitors who claimed
to feel little or none at sight of the
Grand canyon. 1t is difficult to imagine
anybody who would remain untouched
by the canyon which is probably the
most magnificent natural spectacle in
the world; but If such person exists
he might still feel the spell Of Crater
lake.
For Crater lake has the charm Of
simplicity, of direct beauty that grows
after the shock of the first view. The
canyon, if anything, Is too grand; it
seems to have been built and cOlOred
for the amusement of the gods aid Is
likely to Cypress too impressionabe hui
mans after q time with an uncomfOrt-
able sense of their own unimportance
and lnsignlficance. There Is something
very different in the placid brooding
beauty of Crater lake.
Crater lake can be described in
few wordS. it Is cliff-walled body Of
''hAi'N Nblti, h'ih i'is7ii ~ 'iiN go ~
the cup of volcano that has retired
from active business for 10 these many
years. Also, it Is blue-exceedingly
blue blue beyond the habit of earthly
water. At times it looks like patch
of troplc sky seen in the early morn
ing. The only item In the character
ist,cs of Crater lake n bare inventory
fails to include is its peculiar attrac-
lion that is almost a fascination. The
Indians peopled it with all manner of
gods and spirits, and it is easy to see
why they did SO. 1t takes more than
chemical combination of hydrogen and
oxygen to give out the peculiar atmos-
phere of mystery and unreallty that
hangs over the sunllt turquoise waters.

There were so many wounded to be

Just under the brow of hill and dash
forward himself into the firing line to

Day after day he climbed he hill,
smiling and CHEEKY. But one day Muir
phys mules came not. The wounded
cried out to the OyerwOrked stretcher
bearers: "For Gods sake send Muir
phys mules" The mules were found
grazing contentcdly in Shrapnel valley
and Murphy lie had done his last

Travelling Insects.

Ship cargoes are often responsible
for the Introduction Of new species of
Insects in different lands. Banana
lunches often hide poisonous reptiles
and insects which travel long dis
tances, only to bite or sting the hand
Of some receiver of fruit. Often they
escape alive and breed their kind.
Many venomOus snakes have thus been
introduced into lands where none ex-
listed before. Strange creatures have
been imported on the blooms of or
chlds, and West Indian insects have
travelled in easter lily blossoms. De
structive moths migrate in fruit ships.
Flying insects often follow ships. One
curious case was that of a vessel from
the tropics followed by a swarm Of
butterflies. Out of sight of the shore,
they hid in the cabins and holds, en-
crying 40 days later when the ship
reached England. Thus originated
quite a new species Of butterfly in the
British isles.

PLANT NEARING COMPLETION,

Engfneer Pitz estimates that the
new combined utility plant at the old
pumring station will be in operation
I'm SIX weeks or at the latest six
months. The work was delayed nearly
a month by the delay in shipment OF
the boilers. They are now set. Delay
iu,hipment Of the switchboard also
set the work back. The contract for
pipe fittings will probably be let at the
next meeting of the city council. This
+, the last large contract When the
nc~ plant gets going the old electric
plant on Quay street viii probably be
entirely discontinued. 1t is expected
hat electrical energy can be produced
at the new plant for a fraction Of the
COS, nj the old plant because Of larger
production, increased day load, modern
generators and division Of much Of the
overhead expense with the water
utility. In anticipation Of this there
( now pending in the city council a
resolution providing sweeping cuts in
both electric and water rates. This is
said to be the mayors suggestion but
the council may hold Oft on big re
dlctions until the plant has proved it
self capable Of producing at the pro-
posed rates at fair profit, The
scrappIug Of the old plant is not such
4 big loss as one might suppose. The
system was approximately
of the purchase cost in 1912 and the
Old generating machines were obsolete
and wa,leiul and cost but little The
real eslate and building and much of
the machinery cau be utilized. Me.
Mullen and Pltz are busy laying the
condausIng water intake into the
lake and expect to have il completed

But the industries, mines, trade and
natural wealth Of that unhappy coun-

EXIST IN PRIMITIVE EASE
Pueblo Indians Live In Exactly the
Same Manner as Have Genera
tons Of Ancestors.
rhaps the most unique settlement

Perhaps the most unique settlement
in the United States is the Pueblo In
dian village, located in Arizona, OBJ
serves the Christian Herald. This viii
lage comprises 1900 peaceable Indians,
whose sole and almost only aim in life
possible. This settlement is located in
the hottest section of the state, but
the excessive heat is not uncomfort-
able to these people, whose ancestors
have lived in that desert section for
unnumbered generations. Wastes of
burning sand stretch for miles and
miles on every side of this village.
4 peculiar thing about this people is
thGt they have two distinct villages.
The summer village is located upon the
floor Of the valley, where the Pueblos
occupy themselves in agriculture. The
produce they raise, over what they
need to eat during these hot months,
Is stored away for winter use. There
are only few places in that section
of the desert where water is obtain
able, and in these places the Pueblos
pursue their primitive agriculture.
Seasons come and seasons go, but as
each goes by 1t sees these people living
as they did during the preceding one.
Since the white man first knew of this
colony, which was back in the six
! teenth century, the habits of this tribe
have not changed. They eat the same
kind Of food, do the same sort of fancy
work and live just as did their ances-
tors. SO far as Is known to historians,
this is the Oldest colony of any kind in
this country.
