LOCAL HOUSEkEEPER'S
CLUB AND REST ROOM
Article Which Appeared In Recent
Magazine Gives Publicity to
Local ORGANIZATIONS.

An article which appeared in the
May issue of 1.-The American City"
magazine, published in New York
City, on the establishment and work
of the Public Rest Room in this city,
written by Mrs. Alton Crosby, secre-
tary of the local Housekeeper's Club,
has brought the room, and the local
club much publicity. Mrs. Crosby has
received several letters from various
places since the article appeared, in
quiring into the work done by the
Housekeepers' club. During the past
year the club has assisted the Com
mercial Club in establishing the park
between Fifth and Sixth streets, on
Pacific avenue, a continuation OF the
railroad park. Up to the first of De-
cember, 1915 they had taken in ST.
322.33, serving at the meetings of the
Stavanger-laget and the County Fair.
The expenses were quite heavy, how
ever, altho there was a balance of $409
to their credit. About 1891 was raised
for the rest room, and there were ex-
penses amounting to $245. About $50
was realized from the sale of the cook
books gotten out last year.
The club has flower fund, and all
sick members are remembered in this
manner.
The yearly report concerning the
rest room shows that $50 visitors, not
including those from the immediate
vicinity who have registered severa
times, have visited the rooms, and 1,
1S9 cities and towns were represented
by the persons who registered. Mrs
Garwell reports that she is buster thar
ever now, and that the rooms are very
popular with the travelling public IL
the morning, those who come in OF
the early trains and are forced to wal
until afternoon before departing. IL

farmers wives and families to rest
Mrs. Andrew Larson is the chairman
of the Rest Room committee this year
and nearly enough money has beer
raised to defray the expenses of tn
room for the year.

WHISTLING LANGUAGE
OF MEXICAN INDIANS
An American Mining Engineer
Found II and II is Understood by
All TOItec Descendants.

CARLISLE, Pa. Dec. 23-That en-
tire tribes of Indians converse in
whistled language in old Mexico is an
established fact. This is authenticated
by Harold T. Mapes. a mining engi-
neer, in Mexico for twelve years, but
now at his home in Carlisle. Pa.
Mr.. Mapes AYERS that the Mexican
Indians have whistling vernacular
in which they can carry on conversa-
ton as fluently as in words This
languages coming traditionally from
the Toltecs, it is universally under
stood by the natives now. Not only
are words whistled but sentences as
we'll.
The Spanish language, Mr.. Mapes
says. is musically adapted to its use,
and the natives employ it upon occa-
sion as carrying further than words,
also using it when around noisy ma
chimes and when not wishing to be
understood by others. Indian swains
converse with their sweethearts from
afar off, even though behind closed
barred windows. The laboror talks
with his fellow at his side and asks
for tools using 1t also as a means by
which to communicate words of an
ger or signal the approach OF the
overseer.
Its origin is unknown according to
Mr.. Mape's information. He found it
nowhere else in his travels through
Central or South America.
