A Song of Women

long ago, in the youth of mankind,
There were women, strong, good women.
They loved and caressed,
They cherished, they blessed
And spurred man Earth's pathway to find.
Ages passed. Were a goal to be won,
There were women, helpful women,
To love and caTess,
To cherish, to bless
And inspire man Earth's race-way to run.
And so. after long, fruitful years,
II our women, fine. true women,
Think the better to bless
Be true women not less
And TO meet Life's sharp tests without
fears,
They should, with equal rights, walk on
Life's highway.
All our women-fair, brave women.
Still to love and caress us,
Still to cherish and bless us
Through all dme till that great Final
Day.
Then, to women DER all seas and lands,
10 women let's stretch helping hands.
Here's word of good cheer to you,
From a heart full OF love for you
For women, all women. God bless you!

clubs have been founded in New York
and Boston," added Lady Aberdeen.
Phe problem of industrial ireland
claimed Lady Aberdeen when she first
accompanied her husband to Ireland in
1856 The undeveloped country did not
afford living to the man on the farm
and his income had to be supplemented
by the woman.
"Thc Irish women, in their homes, have
revived the Old-time trades. Hand-woven
linen and Irish linen Is known throughout
the world: Irish laces, Irish, Limerick
and Carrick-ma-cro and hand-wove4l
homespuns have been brought to life
again by Irish women. Rural Ireland is
being transformed. The poor wages paid
to the farm laborer has been another
detriment to the country"
With Sir Horace Plunkett, the David
Lubin of Ireland, Lord Aberdeen has
been instrumental in solving the land
problem. The landlords have been bought
out, and small farms of 80 acres each
have been placed in the hands of tenants
to be paid for by degrees. Fifty thousand
laborers cottages have been built
throughout the country in the effort to re-
habilitate the country and stem the tide
of immigration.
but it all comes back to the babies,
doesn't il, always?" said Lady Aberdeen.
Mothers are losing our boys; our very
best are fighting for their country. [ have

we mothers want the children of today
fit and able to carry on the work of the
next generation. They will have added

Death Rate of Erin's Young Ones Exceedingly
High, Popular Peeress Declares
Appealing for Funds

To help the babies of Ireland Such
Is the mission of Lady Aberdeen, the
most popular English woman who has
ever served at Lady Lieutenant of Ire
land.
"Our constructive social work i'm Ire
land" she said, has been cut off
absolutely by the war. The baby problem
in Dublin is always the dearest to every
woman. In Dublin we have li6 deaths
in every thousand; even 80 per cent
higher than you have in New York We
have with the greatest difficulty kept a
few of our municipal nursese at work
At our depot for pastcurized milk, where
we could supply milk to sick babies only,
we found that among the babies that
came to us, the death rate was only Az
per cent, as compared to the 14la per
cent, of the entire city of Dublin. ,...
The financial assistance that i'm the
days before the war came from the United
Kingdom has almost ceased. Relief work
has monopolized the generosity of the
liberal supporters of the Health Associa.
ton of Ireland.
But" said Lady Aberdeen, who re-
minds one of Queen Victoria with her gray
hair softly waved from her face, and her
regal gown of black velvet, with a deep
vest and Limerick lace. "it is necessary
that our work continue. The country
must think of the next generations: that
is the main issue. And to think for the
lack or funds, the only baby hospital in
all Ireland, just completed cannot be put
to use because the money is lacking to
pay the builders. 1t was started before
the war broke out and finished within the
last year, But we could not get the
money on which we had counted. So this
hospital, nine miles from Dublin, is idle"
The National Health Association, of
which Lady Aberdeen is founder and
president, has established infant welfare
centres with Fairgrounds attached, where
the children may play while their mothers
are at work. The district nurses system,
milk depots, dental clinics, Fairgrounds
have been the result of the efforts of the
association.

Of Course You Have Time

To sew that loosened button on your
shoe. 1t will add wonders to your ap-
pearance and prolong the life of the shoe.
Loosened buttons allow the shoes to be-
come lax and they soon lose their shape.
A few minutes are sufficient time to
mend the slit in your glove, which helps
a lot toward neatness.
It will only take short time to darn
that tiny hole in your stocking, and you
know the old maxim about "a stitch in

What a little time 1t requires to press
the wrinkles in your skirt, and how much
better your skirt looks after the pressing.
Many elderly women know how to sew
we'll because in their salad days mothers
taught their girls to sew. II wasn't the
day of ready-to-put-on garments, so there
was a reason.
what has that to do with the woman
of our day?" might be your natural and
justifiable query. Why Just this; These
elderly women who want a bit of pin
money can earn 1t by building up mend
ing trade.

Shortly after 10 o'clock today

At lib Paul Haffer, princi-
pal in the libel suit against him
for "besmutting" George Wash

At 10:45 Col. Albert +. Joab,
complaining witness, appeared
with a stack of histories, and
neatly clad in his military cape.
Exactly three minutes later the
jury box was filled and the great
trial was off.
Col. Joab assisted the deputy

animation of the jurors. He will
take a leading part throughout.
Attorney Pendleton will be as
sisted in the defense by n. j.
Criswell. They intimated that
their entire defense would lie in
the pages of histories and the tes-
timony of Haffer. Yet Pendleton
winked his eye and suggested
that something startling would be

POLICE
CATCH
LEVINE

One of the biggest catches
made through the Tacoma
police i'm years was announce
ed by Police Chief ID. o.
Smith today.
j. A. Young, alias W. Le-
vine, wanted here on a
charge of having swindled
=. }. Fransioli a Co. of
$1,000 and wanted i'm Port
land for alleged swindles Of
Sff,G00, was captured this
morning In San BernardinO,
Cal.
Extradition papers will be pre-
pared Immediately and an officer
sent for the prisoner.
The Fransioli swindle occurred
in October, 1915.
How He Worked II.
A man giving the name of w.
Levine appeared at the offices Of
the Fransioli Co., dealers in hay
and grain, and offered for sale a
large shipment of grain from
Eastern Washington.
He produced bills of lading,
and the Fransioli company learn
ed that the grain was already on
the read to Tacoma. A deal was
made, and the man given check
for $4,000.
1t was later learned that Lee
vine had forged the bills of lad
ing, on a shipment which he knew
to be on the way from Eastern
Washington, and had no claim
whatever to the grain.
Wears Big Diamond Ring.
The same game was operated
by Levine or Young, the police
charge, in Seattle, Portland and
other Northwestern cities.
After the swindle here, Fran
sioli put up $500 reward, and it
was on the circular issued by the
Tacoma police, announcing athis
reward, that Young was today
captured.
Young is 40 years of age.
He wears a $1,000 diamond
ring, and other evidences of pros
perity such as adorn the figure of
the famous fiction character, J.
Rufus Wallingford, the police
say.
