Y. ". c. A. FOUNDED
FIFTY YEARS AGO
Great International Organ
ization of Women Has
Anniversary.

On March 3, 1s66-just fifty years
ago yesterday - the first Young
Yomen's Christian association was
organized in Boston. At that time
there were only few Interested in
the work and the establishment of
the first organization was regarded
more as an experiment than anything
else. Following the passing of an
even half hundred years many hun
dreds of similar organizations yes
terday celebrated the birthday of the
now powerful organization. The out
growth of the association founded in
the Hub City has resulted in the es-
tablishment of similar organizations
throughout the world.
Following out the usual custom OF
the Y. w. G., A., the local organiza-
tion held fitting ceremonies celebrat-
ing the anniversary of the society.
More than IS prominent workers in
the local association attended the
ceremony which was held in their
headquarters, corner Fifth and Chey-
enne. Following honorary services,
the directors of the local association
work mapped out the plans for the
coming campaign, in which it is
hoped to raise $4,000.
The campaign. which starts early
Monday morning, will extend over a
period of one week. closing Saturday
night, providing that the amount is
not subscribed at an earlier date.
The Division Captains.
While it was not definitely decided
Just how many members would com
prise each team. the captains Of the
nine divisions were announced as fol-
lows: Mrs. n. w. Mayginness. Mrs. w.
H. Peck, Mrs. II. G. Tyrrell. Mrs. II. n.
Greis. Mrs T.. w. Sinclair; Mrs. f. w.

rcau. Miss Julia LathrOp, chief of the
bureau, is the particular instigator of
the movement and has spent several
years working out details for preseu~
tation to the public.
The object of the campaign is to
furnish II greater knowledge to par
cnts concerning the general welfare
o. children. With this achieved the
next step will be To demand that par
ents follow out the civilized principles
which are being brought to their at
tention for the first time.
Educational Value.
The movement is in the main of
educational value and is being OBJ
served in most cases by frequent
meetings in schools, churches and
clubs. Some of the leading physicians
and teachers Of the world are devotins
their time to the success of the propo
sition in the larger cities.
This will be the ease in Tulsa as
almost every organization with any in
terest in babies is taking up the mat
| ter with zeal.
which includes representatives. from
the leading clubs OF the city, has a
| special committee on arrangements
| and has instructed them To bring out
| the full force of-the group. Most Of
| these clubs have planned meetings
next week at which some one well
versed in the care of babies will talk.
At the present time the city schools
seem to be taking the lead in tho
local movement. No school will be
| held today and this will necessitate
the postponement of their activities
until next Monday A portion of every
day next week will be spent by each
| teacher in the system of lecturing to
the children ulon some phase of
child welfare.
Big Mass Meeting.
In addition to this great mass
meeting is under consideration and
may be engineered SO as to include
both children and parents being held
at convention hall.
All patrons-teachers associations
Will hold regular meetings next weeN
and endeavor in this way to reach the
parents. The general public viii be

ties will be provided.
An example of the zeal that is beini
aroused by BABY week. was brough
out today when one proud mother
telephoned the school headquarters
that she had fine bouncing baby
which she would gladly submit as I

THE YOUNG MANS EDUCATION.
College VS.. Busincss-A Business

-Four years of college does a lot
for some men," says successful busi-
ness man in the March Woman's
Home Companion. ''others simply
waste the years and would be better
off under the firmer discipline of
business. Those fond parents who
are determined to force their boys
through at whatever cost often do the
boys a doubtful service.
"If after a year of college boy
still feels strong antipathy to college
work and a desire to enter business
Immediately it is often wise to let
him drop out and have a year Of bus
mess experience. At the end of the
year let him have the advice of his
employers and of other successful
business men whom he knows. 1t may
be that the year will have convinced
him of the value of more education
the men he talks with may be able to
show him that three additional col
lege years will more than pay for
themselves in the rapidity of his busi-
ness progress On the other hand
the end of the year may find him
more eager than ever to continue al
work. In either case he is in a far
better position to know the facts and
make his decision. Anyone who reads
biography must be impressed with
the general futility of attempting to
force a young mans course contrary
to his strong predictions"

POINTS IN POTTlNG PLANTS
BY EVA RymAN-1AILLARD.

Plants grown for beauty Of their
foliage should be given rather large
pots. holding plenty of rich soil. while
those grown for blossoms should be in
smaller ones.
Root-bound plants seem to produce
more and finer blossoms, but this
should not be construed to mean keep
Ing them SO tightly root-bound that
they starve to death
When the pot is full OF roots shift
the plant to one an inch or two larger,
and fill the space with good soil.
Never gil pot SO full of soil that
the water runs off the top instead OF
settling into the soil. Leave a space
vacant in the top of the pot. an inch or
more. according to the size of the pot
and the amount OF water needed by
the plant.
For plants having hard, woody
stems, the soil may be level on the
surface, and no harm is done as the
water standing around the stem will
not injure it, but for soft, crown-cen-
tered plants like the primrose. the
soil should be higher In the center
than at the edge.

COLD FRAMES FOR WINTERlNG
PLANTS
BY /. M. BENNINGTON.

Successful gardening depends on
early production. Cold frame plants
are more certain to live than hotbed
plants and give a larger per cent Of
good stuff than do the more tender
hotbed plants.
To construct one use two frames In
stead Of one. The larger frame is four
and one-half feet by seven and one-half
feet and one foot deep. The inner one
Is one foot smaller each way and only
eight inches deep.
The space all around the inner
frame, six inches wide. Is filled with
dry sawdust well packed down.
The covering for the inner frame is
a glass-covered sash made to fit quite
close to the frame to exclude the air.
The outer frame Is covered with an
oiled canyassed frame SO as to be wa
terproof.
A strip of carpet, or other good
material. is kept over the inner sash
In severe weather.
We prefer shallow frames to keep
the plants from growing spindling.
We choose location free from cold
winds and where a good exposure to
the sun can be had.
In such a frame there are 3.276
square inches, and allowing three
square inches to the plant. one can
have over 1000 plants per frame.
Good rich soil is used and the under
soil is made quite loose to give a
chance for root growth. 1t is best to
grow the plants in the open and trans
plant on the approach Of severe
weather.
Frames Of larger size are not
easily handled. nor can the same pro-
lection be given them. On mild days
we give light to the plants by remov-
Ming the outer sash. and II safe we raise
the inner sash to admit fresh air.
These frames are not expensive where
one can do his own work and they add
a good per cent to the investment

FIRST "skookUM' DAY
Fl. COLLINS PEOPLE CELEBRATE
BoUNTiFuL HARVEST.
Two Thousand Maskers Dance or
Newly Paved Streets Covered
With Meal and Soapstone.

Western Newspaper Union News Servica
Fort Collins, Colo.-Fort Collins
celebrated the completion OF the first
street paving in the city by observing
a "Skookum' day and being host to
farmers from all of the region round
about. 1t was really celebration ir
connection with the most bountiful
harvest ever gathered in the Cache
la Poudre valley, and everyone "lei
himself loose to make as much noise
as he could and have as good a time
as was in the cards.
During the afternoon the largest
parade ever given in the northern
part Of the state was sent through the
streets. The school children aided
by arranging a series OF historical
floats, illustrating the discovery oi
the western world and many Incl.
dents following.
In the evening the newly paved
streets were covered with cornmeal
and soapstone and 1000 maskers
danced until midnight.
R. N. La Fontaine, mayor Of Chey.
enne, Wyo., attended, accompanied by
Mrs. La Fontaine. and assured the cit
liens that he had counted $1,000 per
sons on the streets. Fred Farrar, at.
torney general Of Colorado, made the
address of the day, comparing the
lighting of the city in 1880 to that OF
today by simple expedient. Mayor
Clammer turned out all lights, putting
the city In darkness. "That was the
lighting of 1885," said Mr.. Farrar.
And then the mayor turned on every
electric light in the city to close the
comparison.
A feature of the masked parade In
the evening was given by go college
girls, who appeared as Red Cross
nurses, forming crosses as they
marched. Mrs. Sadler was queen OF
the evening, maintaining incognito
until almost time for general un.
masking.
