Miss Josephine Conrad was pleas
antly surprised last night at o'clock
at her home on west Bank street by
a group of high school girls, who
gathered to recognize her sixteenth
birthday anniversary. The evening
was delightfully."- spent with music,
merry conversation and games, and
ice cream and cake were served. The
girls gave Miss Josephine a trinket
case as token Of their love and
friendship.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. D. Carpenter hap
PLY entertained the members of
their family residing in this city last
evening at their home on south Will
son avenue in honor of their thirty
third wedding anniversary. A boun-
tiful dinner was served at $50
o'clock and pleasant time enjoyed.
Until two years ago, Mr.. and Mrs.
Carpenter lived upon the Carpenter
farm two miles south of town, re-
moving at that time to their new
home in this, city.

The Home club held their first
meeting for the season yesterday af-
ternoon at the home of Mrs. J. B.
deValcourt on First street. A de-
licious course luncheon was served
at one o'clock and following a short
business session; half hour was CIV

Valcourt, who was leader for the af-
ternoon, read an interesting paper on
"The Land of Evangeline," and a
continuation of this lesson study will
occur next Monday afternoon with
Mrs. deValcourt as both hostess and
leader again.

proceeds of which go to the Iowa AS
ISOLATION For the Prevention of Tu-
berculosis, were read by the chair
man, Mrs. F.. r. Mason, and discuss
ed by the members of the club.
With the cooler days of autumn
comes renewed interest in club and
social events. From now on to the
holidays hardly a day will pass by
without some social affairs, whether
dinner, dance, card party, luncheon
or tea. knowing that all work and no
play makes Jill dull girl, under the
same conditions which make Jack
dull, the feminine portion of the
town is loath to work all the time.
The Outing club has been and will
be until the cold weather the scene
of many delightful affairs, the large
open crate fires possible to keep
ablaze in the club house, aiding in
making the place comfortable for
such events Later. the Elks' club
house will be the spot chosen in
which to hold many social events
not given in the home.

Miss Teresa Treat was hostess
Friday night at $50 o'clock dim
ner given to about forty friends in
the Outing club house. The guests
included the members of the Auction
Bridge club and their husbands with
the addition of few outside friends.
The repast was served upon tables
laid in the form of hollow square
and asters and smilaX lent their
beauty to the decorations. About
the CRATES brilliant sumac and many
hued autumn leaves were effectively
arranged. The evening was spent
with auction bridge.

Tuesday to small company Of
friends, the occasion being the third
of series of social affairs given by
her during the past two weeks. This
was a card-luncheon given at one

decorated with asters and daisies.
During the afternoon the guests
spent the hours at cards. On Wednes-
day at one o'clock another small COM

fine needlework. The luncheon was

social affairs given by Mrs. Green.

A Great Success.

Viewed in the perspective, yesterdays
preparedness parade in this city must be
rated as one of the most successful dem
onstrations ever undertaken in Wash
ington. AS spectacle it compared
favorably with other great pageants held
here, such as Inauguration parades and
great marches of citizens and soldiers.
Its most dominating feature, however,
was its exclusively local character. Il
was, in every sense Of the word, Wash
ingtonian. 1t represented the capital
city as never before in history.
Nothing but praise can be given to
the management Of the parade. 1t was
admirably arranged, and 1t moved with
promptness and precision. There were
no gaps to tire the multitude Of spec.
tators and the shalts. were very few and

The Fly Fight.

The time has come to think of fight.
ing flies. Unfortunately this il peren-
nial task, for the flies have BY no means
been exterminated, Notwithstanding tho
slaughter Of the past few years - re-
suit Of organized campaigns against
them. Fly SKATERS, fly paper and fly
traps are recommended for geasral and
persistent use. Every fly killed Is gain
for health, for each fly may be the pro-
genitor Of millions Of others, as we'll as
a present nuisance.
The Department Of Agriculture has
declared that fly traps are the best
means of getting rid Of the pests, for
they destroy by wholesale and can be
located at the points where flies are
most likely to gather. A simple form
of fly trap has been described in The
Star which can be made for q small sum
and has a capacity Of great numbers of
victims
Fly catching, however, is not all that
is necessary for this work for the pre-
vention of disease spread. All places
where the flies lay their eggs and the
young are Matched must be secured.
Flies breed in dirt, in old rags, in waste
paper. any place where there is refuse
and dampness. Premises that are kept
clean will not breed flies, although they
be infested with flies bred in dirty places
nearby It is to the interest Of every
body to keep the flies from breeding,
and to this end every householder and
every business man should make certain
of the cleanliness Of the premises, and
meanwhile catch every fly that can b
lured into q trap.

Gslicia and the right in Bukewins, and,
following the ancient military pfinci-
PIE, to conquer in detail. Perhaps with
a design to prevent the sending Of Ger
man reinforcements to the hard pressed
Austrians vigorous offensive is report
ed to have been undertaken by the Rus
slams at Baranovichi, an important rail-
road junction about seventy-hvs miles
due north of Pinsk, which is generally
the division point between the Austrian
and German lines in Russia. Berlin re-
ports that this attack was fruitless, but
it plainly has its significance as a part
of the general Russian strategy.
Doubtless as result Of the heavy pres
sure maintained by the Russians on the
eastern front and the consequent weak
ening Of the line for reinforcements the
Austrian offensive in Italy has been sud
denly changed to a defensive action,
marked already by material retreat from
lately captured territory. 1t is reported
that the Italians have regained about for
ty-dve square miles Of the terrain lost to
the Austrians during the past few weeks,
and are vigorously pressing them north
ward. Whether the Russian drive was
intended specifically to relieve Italy
from the menacing Austrian advance or
was undertaken solely for Russian rea-
sons. the effect is nevertheless plain in
the material easement of the Italian sit
uation.

The St. Louis Keynote.

Chairman Glynn's speech, naturally
and. necessarily, was glorifeation of
the President. In reciting the record in
detail the speaker itemized his eulogy.
The whole story is Wilson. There is
nothing else to it. The President has
been his own foreign minister, and in
domestic matters Congress has but reg
istered his will. If, therefore, success
has been achieved, a. Gov. Glynn claims,
the credit is the Presidents. In sum-
ming up. the speaker took high flight,
and fixed the Presidents place among
the stars.
He had the convention with him. APP
plause greeted every point he made. The
delegates knew that the speech had been
read and approved by the President, and
that gave them their cue. What is har-
mony, papa!" asked the little boy.
"Harmany. my son, is when mamma, with
. look in her eye. says a thing, and
papa, noting that look, agrees" No

November
As the convention is all Wilson. the
campaign in support Of its action must
be. All democratic orators will copy the
example of Gov Glynn. All will become
eulogists of the President. Some are
not now. and will not then be, in agree
ment with the President about every
item of the record. Mr. Bryan. for an
instance. But none will speak but in
advocacy of the Presidents reelection.
All will urge that, Mr.. Bryan with as
many eloquent words as Gov. Glynn.
Allowance will have to be made for
this in specializing about what will fol-

An Enthusiastic Partisan.

| This is taken from an interview with
Henry Morgenthau, telegraphed from St
Louis:
at is seldom that the real public opin,
ion of the nation can be ascertained on
any important issue-the current and
cross and counter currents are most con
fusing. Straw votes are some guide
but more frequently misleading. Pri-
maries in the various states produce
favorite sons, but NO intelligent verdict
This time public opinion has been un-
mistakenly ascertained. It il almost
unanimous in its approval of the de-
Woodrow Wilson. The democrats are
absolutely delighted with their Presi-
dent"
Mr.. Morgenthau is a stanch democrat
and so earnestly solicitous for Mr.. Will
sons reelection that his presence at this
time in the country is due to his keen
desire to assist in the campaign. He
was ambassador to Turkey, and render
ing most efficient service, but resigned
because of feeling that the homo field
would afford him opportunity to do some
very necessary work for the leader of
his party. And Mr.. Morgenthau's as
signment when the campaign opens will
be in keeping with his experience and
well known ability
But in this interview he has been
quoted correctly-Mr. Morgenthau over
states his case If it were true that
"publie opinion has been unmistakably
ascertained," and that "it is almost
unanimous in its approval of the de-
liberate, calm, wise and firm method
of Woodrow Wilson," no democratic
campaign would be necessary. Mr.. viii
son and his friends could await with
eomposure the dawn of election day.
But, az . matter of fact, public opin-
ion is far from being unanimous in Mr..
Wilson's favor. He and his friends are
doing some very serious thinking. They
had hoped for the nomination of Mr..
Roosevelt by the republicans. They are
faced instead by the nomination of Mr..
Hughes made on the third ballot with
unanimty, and informally Endorsed
since by many bull moosers who in an
other convention shouted for Roosevelt.
A very warm campaign is on the card !;
and maybe nobody knows this better
than Mr.. Morgenthau. He is a New
Yorker, and can recall the record Mr..
Hughes made in the Office of governor,
and how the people, with but small re-
gard to party, held up Gov. Hughes
hands in the many things he did for the
public welfare.
Many other New Workers are recall
ing the same thing, and many are tax
ing the Hughes side now, believing
that as President Mr.. Hughes would
serve as satisfactorily as he did as gov
ernor Of the Empire state.
Mr.. Morgenthau is indulging in the
enthusiasm of good partisan-a thing,
however, that sometimes goes to the head
He will find plenty to do between now
and ovember-enough to convince him
that matters are not, by a long shot
all one way.

Names state elections take place

said: =..

Maine elects two senator's and four
representatives today and If clean
sweep, or even six out Of seven is
achieved by the G. o. p, it will be
big feather in the Republican cap and
a forecast of victory in the national
election in November. Maine is nor
