Boy Scout Companies
 To Aid In Civic Work

The United States Boy Scouts and other uniformed organizations will be utilized by the city Tn other cities they have been found useful in aiding the preservation of order on the streets and in emergency. They have been employed as auxiHaries to the police, fire and health departments.
 It has already been decided by the oard of health to abandon the usual "clean-up'' week in this city in favor of the Scout movement. They have volunteered and will be given an op- portunity to inspect all streets, alley ways and premises. Where violation of the ordinances or filth is found the organization will report direct to the health department upon a printed cord for that purpose. An inspector will then make an official examination. This system will be applied throughout the year, young scouts having sections of the city and blocks assigned to them for seTai-weekIy inspection.
 It is\ believed that within few days the police department will permit sim liar aid in the crusade against crime and vice. Just what steps will be ta- ken in this direction cannot be as- certained to-day though it has been an nounced that President John c. Stan ley of the police board and Inspector Howard Dunbar of the board of Health will address various scout organiza- tions tonight.
 The addresses will be made at 8 o'clock in St. Georges Episcopal church, MAplewood and Colorado ave- nues, follpwing review of the United States Boy Scouts, to which all other boy organizations in this city have been invited to attend.

German Officials
 Urge That Rabbits
 Be Raised For Skins

Berlin. May 20.-The Prussian nain- istry for agriculture. domains and for ests has issued an appeal to all the agricultural associations and organiza- tions in Sigmaringen urging that spe- cial attention be paid in the coming months to the breeding of tame rab- bits in order that as many skins as possible may be obtained for leather purposes, and that the fat of the little animals may be available.
 Already in Berlin there has been established a Company for Making Use of Skins, Inc.;; to which anyone may send his bunny skins. The de- strability of raising the animals in numbers is enhanced by the fact that they require little or no food that hu- man beings need, and yet can in part be fed with scraps that otherwise would go to waste. The appeal says that oils and fats obtainable from rab- bits are already very scarce, probably will become more so, and will probably be short for a period long after the war.

 RAPS ARGUMENTS
 OF MISS BURNEL-L-

A lively controversy has been going on the New Canaan Advertiser between Elizabeth R. Burnell of Hartford and Miss Emma A. Opper of New Canaan. About two weeks ago Miss Burnell made a speech in opposition to equal suffrage and Miss Opper who was in the audience took exception to some of her remarks. Then followed let ters from both in the newspaper, and the last issue of the Adertiser con- tains a long letter from Miss Opper taking up the chief objections to equal suffrage made by Miss Burnell- MISS Burnen, who is a good speaker and we'll educated and informed on most subjects, has evidently made little study of economics, and her objection to equal suffrage seems to arise chief Iy from her overwhelming fear Of so- cialisn and fenninisrn. Just what so- cialisn is she nowhere endeavors to state and is plainly not the socialism of the schools-the socialism which Is expounded in every college course on economies that she means. Neither does she explain what she means by fenainiSHn, but it is evidently som ething other than merely the full develop fnent of the whole powers of her own sex, and the progress of women in education and social usefulness
 In her letters she quoted W. L. George, an English writer, who calls himself a feminist, but whose right to speak for the other sex rests upon no real foundation. She also quotes Miss Emma Goldman who is well known as an anarchist-not a socialist and who is a strong opponent Of votes for women. Because there are few wild radicals in favor of woman suf- frage the cause seems to her to be to- tally condemned
 In her reply Miss Opper aptly quotes some of the great names that are on the side of the suffragistS and asks Are you not less just then, in con- demning woman suffrage because Of an alleged connection with three for ces of which you do not approve, than you would be in favoring it because of its tremendous and undisputed and un- assailabIe endorsement" Among the endorsements Miss Opper quotes are those of the National Prohibition par ty, the National Progressive party. President Wilson and nearly all his Roosevelt of the present, and John Stuart Mill, Henry Ward Beecher, Thomas Huxley Emerson, George Will liam Curtis, Wendell Phillips. Clara Barton, Francis Willard, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Julia Ward Howe, and Florence Nightingale. It is approved, she continues, by an enormous num- Der of cIergymen, Protestant, Catholic and Jewish. and of professional men and women of all kinds, by Jane Ad- dams, Katharine Bement Davis, Flo- renee Kelley and Lillian WaId. Six countries, twelve states of the Union and three Canadian provinces besides endless numbers of organizations.

Germany Had Great
 Wine Yield During
 Last Twelve Months

Berlin, May 20.1The pre-harvest predictions of an unusually big yield of wine in Germany have been more than borne out by results. The official re- port just issued gives a production of 7S5, ,9o5 hecto1iters of must in 1915. the greatest production of any year since the introduction Gin 1902) of the pres er1t wine law. In those thirteen years the production sank as low as 218,- 264 hectoIiters in 1913, and the famous year of 1911 brought but 537,1 hec- toltiers of must.
 The quality also was good. Of the white wines, Al per cent. were ranked as stvery good,'' 52 per cent. as 'tgood' and seven per cent. as medium" On- ly 2s,972 1iters of the total consisted of red wines. Most of the white wines came from the Mose1le, Saar and Ru- wer districts, which contributed almost three-fourths of the total. About 95.- hectoliters came from the Rhine vine yards.
 The prices obtained were slightly be- low those of certain other years, but the total still reached 44,39O, 900 marks the greatest on record, exceeding even 1911. In 1914 the total was only Il = .6so,ooo marks.
 The wine market, however, continues good, absorbing all offerings readily.

Dutch Would Reduce War
 Risk By Sea.

Rotterdam, Netherlands, May 20.- Consideration is being accorded by marine circles to a suggestion that the biggest and most valuable Dutch ves- sels now plying between the Neither lands and American ports be placed upon new route, running from Amer lea to either Spain or Norway, the car goes there to be transhipped in small CT vessels. of which Holland has more than a sufficient number.
 The purpose of such plan would be to enable the large vessels to avoid war risks in the North Sea and the British channel and the serious delays encountered through being detained at British ports for examination
 According to shipping men who fa- vor the suggestion, the quicker voy- ages which the larger ships would be able to make would cover the cost of transhipnnent and other added expen- ses.

ToDAY's POEM
THE BROKEN SOLDIER.
\~~~~NN

The broken soldier sings and whistles
 day to dark, He's but the remnant of man,
 rnaimed and half-bIind; But the soul they could not harm goes
 singing like the lark, Like the incarnate Joy that will not
 be confined. The Lady at the Hall his given him a
 light task; He works in the gardens as busy as
 bee; One hand is but a stump and his face
 a pitted mask; The gay soul goes singing like a bird
 set free WhistIing and singing like a 1innet on
 wing, The others stop to listen, leaning on
 the spade; Whole men and comedy they fret at little things. The soul of hinl's singing like a, thrush in 8 glade. Hitter and thither hopping, like Rob-
 in on the grass, The soul in the broken man is beau
 tiful and bravei- And while he weeds the pansies and
 the bright hours pass The bird caught in the cage whistles
 it's joyous staVe. Katharine Tynan in The London Westminster Gazette.

WASTED TIME.

U D. O. writes: "I am a young man of twenty-two and correspanded with a girl more than fifteen We quit writing for near a year. She said her father objected. I sent her a Christmas present. She accepted with thanks. First, she wrote me three nice short letters. I did not re- ply for two months, as was away from home. Thinking a great deal of her, how can I stand giving her up Think she loves me. Is it best for me to pay more attention to her. till she becomes of age?''
 She started correspondence too young. Girls are cflangeable at that age. Do not all know their own minds. Better waste less time. Find out her liking few years later for you.

THE PIONEER
 OF SUFFRAGE

The last of the survivors of that gall 4ant band of women who launched the suffrage movement in America, the Rev. Antoinette Louise Brown Black well, was born ninety-one years ago to- day, May 20 ,1825. in Henrietta, N. Y. She was educated at Oberlin College. and. after many difficulties, and deter mined opposition from the conserva- tsves, she was permitted to preach the ~sospel and in 1853 she was ordained . minister of the Congregational ssaurch. Later she embraced the Uni tartan faith, and became known as a gseligious liberal. Tn 1858 she became Sae bride of Samuel c. Blackwell, the pioneer woman physician of the world brother of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the Mrs. Blackwell was not only the pio- neer feminine minister of America, but she was one of the first suffragdsts. and was a speaker at the first national wo- cester, Mass, in 1s49. In the midst of her public duties she found time to rear seven children.
 On her ninetieth birthday, which she celebrated at her beautiful flower enn- powered home in Elizabeth, N. J., the natriarch of suffrage gave to reporters some of the secrets of her long and happy life.
 An absorbing work, marriage, and children-for most women these are the three things necessary to 9 happy hfe,' said Mrs. Blackwell s'NIoreover, have never found any reason why any. one of these desirable things should conflict with any other of them. If a woman is conscientious and has common sense, and the right sort of a husband, she may enjoy all three at once. It is especially important that a woman who aspires to rise above petty trifies and live a useful and en- nobling life should marry a man who is sympathetic and willing to co-ope- rate with her in every way. I can never forget what I owe to my hus- band. My children never heard a cross word from their father, and I cannot remember 9 quarrel or an an- gry speech in over fifty years
 According to my experience and observation" continued Mrs. Black well. sthe best mothers are women who are interested in a profession or Tn some big public movement. The women most likely to neglect their children are not the suffragists and professional women. but the social but Eeraies who are too busy with their /dancing and bridge to supervise their Households. I want eq'uah political and economic rights for wonten: but I don't want them to be like men or dress like men," she concluded

PICKLE LOVE MAKING
 BRINGS TROUBLE

M. R. writes: "I quarre1ed with a young lady Christmas, not giving her a gift. She sent me one and we made up. I said nothing to her. Gave away her gift. What am to do? We live in separate cities. Young lady here and have been out several times. Believe latter is jealous. She wishes to see my letters. Is this allowable :?
 Correspondent discovered my friend ship here. Asks her name. Am to give it? Friend here is easily anger ed. Knew I received letters two days
 ago. Said something of going on a visit. Not spoken since. Anxious for opinion.
 Course of true love in your case is not smooth. Break off with one where there is little affection. Choose one best suited and be true. Pickle changing brings trouble.

ELOPEMENTS ARE UNLUCK4

G. M. writes: fI am keeping steady company with a young lady of nine teen. Her parents are opposed to this owing to our both being too young. I have a very good position. Am advancing and saving to get mar fted. Would it be right to go off quiet ly and wed without abiding by her pa rents rigid command? We both wait to hear from you. yet fear answer
 Appeal to her parents. Use good judgment in weighing both sides. If you have their consent to seek her hand in marriage year or two later, 1t will make good friends all around and bring prosperity. EIopements do not always turn out to be free from future sorrow.

FALLING IN LOVE
 TOO QUICKLY

These violent delights have violent
 ends,
 And in their triumph die like ire ana
 powder,
 Which as they kiss consume. The
 sweetest honey
 Is loathsome in its own deliclousness, And in the taste confounds the appe-
 tite
 Therefore. love moderately. Long love
 doth do: Too swift arrives as tardy as too
 sloW.''
 No one save Shakespeare could aim at and hit a truth more sauarely In the words violent delights have vio- lent ends" Putting it more plainly he meant to say: Loving in haste IS g. passion which soon. burns itself out If it has not had time to take root thus establishing 8 firm foundation, how can it be expected to flourish and it's blossoms to last?
 Romantic women wonder if it is true that love is born at first sight While few cling tenaciously to the belief that those intended for each other recognize that compelling power that seems to draw them together at the first meeting of the eyes, touch of the hand or sound of the voice, more serious minded people, who have delved down far deeper than the sur- face of the subject, as earnestly de- clare that love is not-never was born at first sight. Admiration and interest can be awakened and the hope for future meetings
 That is an excellent beginning or foundation for building up the tender sentiment. The next step or, rather, the food for nurturing the sweet and T1a is T4a magic influence of the charm of per- sonality. Next-and of far greater importance than is accredited to ft-is allowing the thoughts to dwell con stantly on the person one is subtly at tracted to-.
 Tender thoughts woven into beauti- ful day dreams which beget longings are responsible for the mischief. Thoughts are the sun rays which cause the flower of love to burst forth. The man who gives no thoughts to love in the hours when he is alone and has time to look into his own heart and read the records there of the in- pressions each call upon a certain di- Yinity has made upon his susceptibiI- ty is the man who is never quite sure if he is really in love or not. There fore he is very careful about being non-committa1.
 How could he be expected to tell the young woman what the import of his many calls is when he has got mo- where in his calculation or hopes? He is of the class of men who are lag gards in loving and who waste a wo- mans time over a lapse of years to no purpose.
 Every plant has an allotted time to grow from it's first inception to the bursting forth of it's perfected flower, Love, the most beauteous. fragile. yet sturdy plant of the heart, must go through the same process. Some loves never blossom, but die in the bud through endeavoring to force them to bloom too quickly, Men or women may be impetuous by nature, but they err when they pin their faith to the belief that they have actually fallen in love hastily and that it will last. Every love affair worth encouraging should be given a year to perfect it. self At the end of that time mar riage should be the climax or both should agree to go their separate ways realizing there was not love enough between them to bind them to each other the rest of their lives.
