'Woman's Club Held
Interesting Meeting

The Woman's Club of Lakeland
met in regular session at the Club
house yesterday afternoon at D.. m.
a splendid audience of representa-
tive women being present. After a
short business session in charge of
Mrs. C. Rucker Adams, first vice

bers were received and four new
names presented for membership, as
we'll as minor business matters at
tended to, the meeting was taken
over by Mrs. Edwin Spencer, chair
man of the legislative department
Mrs. Adams presented Hon. Edwin
w. Spencer who delivered an address
replete with information and good
suggestions concerning the phases of
woman's work in the government of
our State. This was recommended
through their personal interest and
work along the lines of compulsory
education, prison reform, and the al
deviation of poverty and ignorance.
He clearly outlined methods whereby
these matters might receive the at
tention of the legislative bodies OF
Florida and the part which the no.
BILE women of the State might assume
in these matters. The club was
honored by the presence and words
of Mr.. Spencer and are very grateful
to him for his thoughtful attention
to these matters in their behalf.
Mrs. R. n. Skipper delighted all by
her rendition in her usually faultless
manner of a masterpiece of instru-
mental music, as her solos are al
ways pleasure and source of enjoy
'ment to her audience. Her welcome
is ever warm at the Woman's Club !.
After the announcements, pay
iment of club dues and further plans
for work, the club adjourned to meet

CHANGING COLOR OF CHICKS
solutely Black at Birth-Color
Changes With Growth.

The novice is often offended be-
cause chicks are not the color which
he expects them to be, but the color
of plumage, feet and shanks changes
with growth in many varieties. No
purebred black chick is ever absolute
ly black at birth. The more brilliant
the adult plumage, the truer this is.
The chick which is jet black when
Matched is a cross and its color will
change with age. A Langshan chick
is almost white with some gray on its
head and back. but it develops into a
black with an emerald sheen.
Barred Rock chicks are black and
white. Brown Leghorns and other red
varieties in which the cock has a
black breast have a wide brown stripe
in the middle of the back and other
dark bands. which are not SO heavy.
The Silver varieties in which the
males have black breasts have similar
design in deep gray, the light stripes
being almost white. Reddish brown
birds are nearly black at birth, and
usually have some tan on the head
and around the eyes.

How TO Keen = citv Clean

To make a city cleaner and neater
and to substitute beauty for ugliness
is to enhance the value of both pub
lie and private property. AS to pub
lie property, this work can be easily
controlled. But the city authorities
can be expected to act only on the in
sistenee of the general public. Tn
fortunately, however, no matter how
careful city may be about structures
erected on public property, the gen.
eral effect of street and open places
may be spoiled by ugliness in sur
rounding structures and private prop
erty. Billboards. signs, ugly, garish
or unkempt buildings. buildings out Of
repair, untidy yards and vacant lots
all may counteraet whatever the city
may do to make public property at
tractive. The only way to keep the
city neat and to make it look as
though it were really selfrespecting
is for all citizens to cooperate in iy:-
sisting on private as we'll as public
neatness and attention to good design.

HER IDEAL AT LAST
MODERN MAlDEN'S SEARCH FOR
TRUE MAN" REWARDED.
Willing to Delight in Any Foolish Fad
or Frenzied Fancy She Might
Want to Pursue-Drew the
Line at One Thing.

The modern young woman gazed
critically at the modern young man.
You are sure" she said, that you
wish to marry me? Nothing could al
ter your decision?"
Nothing .
In case l should accept you, would
you be willing to fill in at any time at
one of my dinner or bridge parties-l
mean, of course, when l really need
someone?'
Il should be delighted"
You will, | presume, permit me to
go away in the summer time and
spend as much money as | please at
any place which my fancy dictates?"
Certainly"
sIn case | should desire to roam
over Europe alone, you would have no
objections?"
None whatever"
1T is necessary for me, in order to
maintain my position in metropolitan
circles, to become hysterieal over all
the latest fads. This means that |
will probably have literary freaks, bo-
hemian impossibilities, suffragette
caucuses and other highbrow functions
in our house at any time. You would
welcome all of these, would you?"
with open arms, for your sake"
u shall, of course, have to indulge
in the latest ard smartest effects in
clothes, no matter what the extremes
may lead to. | trust that this would
not disturb your serenity or make
you express in any way any feeling of
shame?"
Impossible, You can go as far as
you like"
Suppose that I should become eu-
genicaIly inclined?"
1T would be my great pleasure to
praise your Efforts
The young woman moved a trifle
nearer.
Just one more question" she said.
will you go to the opera with me at
the matinees every Saturday after
noon?"
Then the young man got up. folded
his arms sternly and replied:
Never | love you dearly, | am
willing to make all kinds of fool of
myself and to do anything that any
metropolitan husband is obliged to do
in these halcyon days, but I'll be
eternally frizzled if lose my self-re-
spect to the extent of attending the
opera with any grown woman in day
light
Answered like hero." she ex-
claimed. clasping him fondly in her
arms. ct is the one thing that didn't
want you to do. Oh. how grand it is
to feel at least that | am marrying a
true man."-New York Sun.

Economy in Fireproof Qualities.

While fireproof qualities and perma-
nence of materials are items appar-
emily increasing the cost of the new
house, the home-builder will find in
the end that economy lies in these
qualities; and applying the old adage
of the chain, his house will be as last
ing as its weakest part.
Hence the ratio between the life of
different materials should be consid-
cred and permanence in the walls of a
building should be duplicated in its
foundations and roof. AS for instance:
permanent, requires concrete or stone
foundation, and slate roof
The depreciation of a house of this
type is said to be about l per cent a
year, reckoning its life to be loo
years.
But the permaneney OF materials is
not restricted to brick alone, and that
frame houses can be constructed to
last 100 years. though not immune of
course from the accident of fire, is typ
flied in the numerous frame houses of
historical interest standing in a state
of good preservation throughout the
country.
Among these are the old Gushing
house at Higham, Mass, built in the
early part of the eighteenth century:
the Wadsworth house in Cambridge,
built in 1928, and the Fairbanks house
in Dedham, probably the Oldest house
in America, built about 1886.
White pine was used extensively in
these houses, which fact is testimony
to the lasting qualities of that wood.

Activities ofaWomen.

The women of Japan are generally
hard workers.
Woman school teachers in Germany
number over 10000.
Japanese drama was founded by a
woman, priestess of the Temple of
Kitzuka.
France now has more than million
more women and girls than men and
boys.
A large ;.uto truck concern in the
West employs a woman to run their
demonstrating truck. which has a ca
pacity of five tons.
Woman conductors in the London
tramway cars are proving SO success
full that it is question as to whether
they will be retained indefinitely.
Rev. Ann T. Allenbach, an ordained
minister and graduate of Columbus
university and the Union Theological
seminary, has formed in New York a
new religious cult, which is known as
the First Woman's Christian Com
munity church.

out that he never did make any money
as long as he worked. He lost near
ly everything except his wife.
Then he got to playing at farming
and his mules and horses got to max
ing money for him and his land grew
in value. 1t got so valuable that
man came along with checkbook
and ran him off. Then he moved into
town, and it looked like he was 60
ing to dry rot and be made fit for the
boneyard until he took to playing
again. He started his Garden OF
Eden, and today he is friskier than
ever.
The first figures one sees on enter
ing the garden are Adam and Eve,
who stand eight feet high, hands
elasped over the gate. One serpent
is putting an apple in Ewes extended
palm and another is being stamped
to death by Adam. while the devil ap-
pears overhead ON a limb. with spear
poised and maleyolent eyes glaring at
this worlds first lovers.
Mr.. Dinsmoor confesses that they
were made with cement and trowel
Some people don't like the looks of
Eve. and their creator admits he
doesn't blame them. But then, he ex-
plains, his models were women who
passed the house. and as they gen
orally passed in a hurry, he couldn't
follow them very closely.
There are two things about the gar
den that the townspeeple do not like.
one is the all-seeing eye on high
cement pole which winks electrically
at night as If Ii were a solemn warn
ing to all who look at it
The other has to do with the prin-
eipal figures of the garden. which are
mounted in trees re-enforced by gas
pipes. Very often when curious
crowd gathers outside and gapes at
the creations, Mr. Dinsmoor, who
loves a joke, viii slip to the base.

To this unangelic query Cain will
give the twentieth century reply:

Whereupon the devil from his dig.

This generally makes the crowd
move on, especially if it's just growing
dark and the weird conversation is
accompanied by the winking Of the
all.seeing eye.
