Anita King, the Lasky-Paramount
star, in her role of City Mother, gave
such n scoldins to the Ad club of Los
Angeles at their last meeting that the
organization has passed resolutions to
take countrywide action on her sus-
gestion.
Miss Kings topic vas the malicious
advertising Of irresponsible firms who
would entice young girls to Los An
geles in the hopes of obtaining posi-
tons with motion picture companies.
She also dwelt on the injustice of con
.tinually advertising California as a
land of gold and the consequence Of
bringing many people there TO become
dependent on the city. She informed
the AID club members that as a City
Mother she had the right to scold them
and If they didn't hurry up and rectify
conditions she would come back and
scold them again.
Immediately on the conclusion of
her speech she caught a train to San
Diego and there spoke before the Ro-
club and the San Diego Women's
At the end of her San Diego
trip she has been invited to visit San
TO speak before the women's
clubs and once again TO address the

There used to be a curious toast which one of the Scottish regiments Quartered at Edinburgh castle in the early years of last century was accus. toned to drink at mess. The toast was, "A clean sword and dirty B. ble." If the sword had to be drawn 1t must only be in the cause of honor, for the protection of the weak, for the defense of the helpless. The dirty Bi- ble meant a Bible whose leaves were thumbed and frayed with constant use

There ls a distinct difference between power and endurance. The average woman seems to have quite as much endurance as tue average man. but In actual physical power she Is entirely outclasSed. In a series of experiments to determine this point 1t was found that the average energy a man can de velop is one-ffth horsepower, that Of a woman only half as much. The ma chine for making the tests is bicycle mounted on a fixed frame and geared to a brake wheel. The person under test works the pedals, and the point at which the friction of the brake causes the machine to stop indicates the horse power he has reached. - Pittsburgh PrnSa

CABLE SERVICE

 Certainly we must have adequate methods of keeping in touch with the country at large by telegwahy if we wish to keep abreast of the commercial world and happenings 1 the field Of current events. The extension Of the cable service to places where 1t Is needed would be a boon to the people. A wireless in this town would be a help to the town, but Is not at the present time a necessity.

TEACHERS COTTAGES.
Lack of Suitable Boarding AeoommO-
 dations In Country Districts.

Lack of Suitable Boarding AecommO-
 dations In Country Districts.
 Teachers cottages erected by the community in or near the schoOlhOuse and used not only as the teachers residences. hut also as the community ! cent2rS. are advocated in bulletin pre- pared by R. s. Kellogg and distributed i by the department of the interior through its bureau of education to county superintendents and other off cers in charge of rural schools. The | bulletin describes the movement for | teachers residences in rural districts and gives plans for cottages of various sizes and types.
 Lack of suitable boarding accommo- datiOns Is one of the most serious diff cultles in the way of securing suitable ! teachers for country schools. the bull letin declares. There are more than 100000 rural school districts in the United States and over lG.OOO,OOO chil- dren of school age who live in the country or in towns of less than 2,5OO population. yet 1t is impossible because of the living conditions to get teachers of the highest type to remain in the country.
 Mir. Kellogg says: Many farmhouses have no accommodations whatever for a teacher. and often kitchen, living room and dining room are combined in one, with no heat in any other room in | the house. The farmer and his family have to spend most of their time work ing indoors or out, eating and sleeping Their occupations and hours of labor in no way correspond to those of the teacher. which increases the difficulty of fitting the teachers necessary hab- i its to those of the farmer with any satisfaction to either. A good teacher | must spend considerable amount of ] time almost every evening upon school work, for which a quiet, comfortable room Is essential If she insists upon such room when she goes tU board in the country she Is likely to be cOnsid- cred stuck up and exclusive. If she gets a room by herself it is often un. heated and too uncomfortable for
 study in cold weather,
 "Cn the other hand. if the teacher Is forced to spend her entire time in the living room with the rest of the family she has no opportunity to prepare prop erly for her school duties and is also very likely to be drawn unavoidably into ncighhorhood gossip and factional disputes to the dCtriment of her teach Ing influence. Many of the better situ- ated families in the country districts who have the facilities do not care 10 take a steady bCarder, so that if d teacher gets place to board at all she may be forced to go to farmhouses with only the bareSt accommodations" "

Nearly all women inclined to stout

there is nothing easier to obtain.
