The struggle Of life among the birds

from the time they leave the nest A
full measure Of life, the perfection of
every quill and feather and unerring
instinct carry them along. They are
always in the enemy's country; they
are always on the firing line; eternal
vigilance and ceaseless activity are the
price of life with them. The natural
length Of life Of our smaller birds is
calculated to be eight or ten years, but

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
Little Hints and Helps.

Use warm water instead of cold
when sprlnkllng your clothes. The
steam penetrates and the clothes
are more evenly dampened.
Try rubbing your hot iron over
waxed paper, and see how smoothly
the iron runs over the clothes that
are to be pressed.
After washing white silk gloves,
stockings or waists, wrap them up
in clean white cloth to. dry. They
will never turn yellow If done this
way.
When the oven door squeaks or
opens hard, rub a little lard on the
hinges OF the door and you will be
pleased with the result.
When cutting butter for the table
first plunge the knife into hot water
and then into cold. 1t will cut a
smooth even slice, and the butter
will not stick to the knife.
When you are going to use your
meat grinder first place a small
piece of tin between it and the ia
pie. This will save your table from
getting dented.

A treat is in store for the forward
looking people OF this city when on
Friday, May 26. Mrs. Guilford Dudley.
OF Tennessee, will address them in
favor of the adoption Of the equal
suffrage amendment now pending in
this state. Mrs. Dudley Is one Of the
most gifted speakers in the country
and this city and state are fortunate
in securing her presence. She. comes
TO West Virginia under the auspices of
the state Equal Suffrage Association
and will spend one week in making
speeches in several Of the larger cities.
While in Clarksburg she will be
guest of the local branch OF the state
organization. While here she will be
the recipient OF many social attentions
and her stay will be made most de-
Hghtful.
Mrs. Dudley is a member OF one OF
the pioneer families of Tennessee. Her
people have always been noted for
their unselfish devotion to the public
service The visitor is young, charm
ing, tactful and thoroughly in earnest,
possessed with the gift Of eloquence
IT. will be an unusual experience to
litsen to this welcome guest. Since its
founding Mrs. Dudley has been the
president of the Nashville Equal Suf-
frage League, and for the last two
years the president Of the state or
ganization. II was largely due to her
Eard work and skillful leadership that
the legislature Of Tennessee almost
unanimously passed the bill favoring
the submission Of the equal suffrage
amendment in that state.
1t is certain that large number OF
men. and women will be present next
Friday to hear Mrs. Dudley, and it is
equally certain that most Of her hear
ers,will afterward be ardently in favor
OF the amendment. She will speak at
8 D. m. in the Red Cross room of the
Masonic temple. Everybody is cor
daily invited to attend and hear her.
