FORM POLLY
ANNA CLUBS
Girls To Scatter Optimism
And Cheer

A dozen girls in West Philadel-
phia have originated a Pollyanna
Club, a performance which prom
Uses to be popular with children
throughout the country. The girls
about Pollyanna's age, organized
the club last March, but gained
no publicity by their action until
few weeks ago when the COM
ing Of Pollyanna to the Broad
Street theatre made the "glad
game" a popular one. The chill
dren have as their object nothing
less than making Pollyanna's OPP
timism a reality in the commun-
'ity. During the summer they
held fairs to raise funds to use
for spreading the gospel of glad
ness on Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. They carried Christmas toys
to children and dinner baskets to
the needy and shut-ins, just as
Pollyanna does in Mrs. Porter's
book. And now they are planning
more fairs in order to have more
toys and baskets next winter. So
carefully was the original club
planned on Pollyanna's career,
that the girls demanded, as one
of the prime necessities from the
very first, a mother" One of
the young ladies of the neighbor-
hood fills this position.

Advertising In The Churches

Churchmen and advertising ex-
perts of the middle west met in
Chicago last week to consider
modern publicity methods as ap-
piled to the churches Of America.
A few of their sayings follow:
advertising will make every
church a success"
"a good breakfast food ad
will make him reverent."
Every minister draws his sal
airy as an advertising man."
"The church bulletin board
should be large enough to give
every pedestrian a punch in the
eye"
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Chicago Advertis-
ing Association, and clergymen
from Milwaukee, Danville, Auro-
ra and other cities were present.
Advertising in newspapers, sign
boards, electric signs, street car
advertisements, window posters
and the news columns of the daily

times year and from six to
twenty at birth. The quantities
of grain and foodstuffs which
they destroy every year is almost
beyond belief. Added to this is
the damage done to materials of
all kinds by their habit of gnaw-
ing. They are responsible for
many fires from their habit of Sc
creting inflammable materials
and not infrequently matches,
which in course of time are ig-
nited.
But the worst charge against
them is the spread of disease.
Living on and in filth, they spread
the germs of the worst diseases
known to mankind, especially the
terrible bubonic plague, and in
this way have been the direct
cause of death to hundreds of
thousands of human beings.

of his cousins like the interesting
trade or pack rate, sometimes
called the bushy-tailed rat or the
wood rat. This condemnation is
of the common rat with whom
every one is familiar. He is smart
and clever, and doubtless this is
why he has continued to live in
spite of all the persecution he re-
ceives. Kill him whenever you
can, but do it mercifully.

COMMITTEES
PUPILS GIVE
MUSICAL PROGRAM
CONTINUED from page y


The last three numbers were
made doubly interesting by a rep
etition of the stories OF the COM
positions. "The Last Hope" by
Gottschalk, played by Miss Nc
Neal. was written during the COM
poser's stay in Cuba, where ne
made the acquaintance of Madam
S who encouraged him in his
work by an active sympathy Mad
anne S. was, at the time of her
association with the composer, al
Aicted with an incurable malady.
Her suffering was heightened by
the absence of her only son.
Nothing soothed her to forgettul-
ness like the music of the plan
list. One evening, while suffering
more than usual, "In pity" she
said. "my dear Moreau, one little
melody. the last hope" Gottschalk
began to improvise an air at once
plaintive and pleasing, one OF
those "spirit-breaths that mount
sweetly to heaven" The next day
the traveler-artist was obliged TO
leave his friend, to fulfil an en-
gagement in a neighborlng city.
When he returned few days
later the bells of the church were
sounding a slow and solemn peal.
A mournful presentiment struck
Gottschalk. Hurrying forward
his horse, he arrived as the mortal
remains of Madame s. were
borne from the edifice.
"The Rustic of Spring" by Oh,
Sinding, played by Miss Geneva
Burnite, gave wonderful de-
scription of the rushing of spring
in fascinating rock-ribbed Scan
dinavia, with it's snow-covered
mountains, it's smiling valleys, its
sombre pine forests, its flashing,
tumbling streams, and its broken
irregular coast line, white with
the foam of restless waves. In the
northern ATTITUDES the spring
comes swiftly, suddenly, with I'M
petuous rush. Ardent clustering
south wind sweeps triumphantly
over the icy battlements of the
frost-king's defences, breaking al
a touch, the letters of the noun
tain torrents, waking the flowers
from their long winters sleep ano
arousing nature, with his jubilant
voice, to prepare for her brldaI

ever recurring phenomenon, II
past centuries gave rise to the
