NEAR-FIGHT At
IRISH Lecture
Leblanc Called Renegade and
Slanderer by One of His
Audience.

Cornelius Lehane's lecture on the pres
ent Irish revolution, delivered in Old
Masonic Temple last night. under aus
pices of the Socialist party of the Dis
trict. nearly broke up in a fight when
an Irish-American in the audience called
Leblanc a renegade Irishman'' and a
"slanderer."
Every now and then the Irish labor
leader would make a statement that
angered the Irish-American, who would
jump to his feet and give vent to his
protest. Each time the audience OF
Socialists would drown the voice Of the
'Irish-American."
He called Leblanc a pro-German and
Leblanc called him a PROHIBITION. Later
the "lrish-American' objected to Lee
hane's denunciation of John Redmond.
Leblanc called Redmond an enemy of the
people of ireland. The Irish-Arnerican
said he is the best friend ireland ever
had. -
The verbal arguments between the
speaker and his auditor finally resulted
in cries of throw him OUT from all
sides. Julian Pierce, presiding. informed
the Irish-American that IL he did not
cease his Interruptions he would be asked
to leave the hall
Mumbling his protests, he thereupon
left the hall.
The substance of Lehane's lecture was
that the present revolution will result in
the freeing of Ireland from British con-
troll and the establishment Of a republi-
can form of government along genuine
democratic lines

Ward PREDICTS
INDUSTRIAL VAR
Mission Speaker Says Faith in
Christian Ideals May Be
Lost in Strife.
FACING CRAVE RESULTS
Meeting Startled by Statement that
Property Rights of Man Are
Restricted by Christianity.

Harry F. Ward, of Boston. speaking
before the National Missionary Congress
In Memorial Continental Hall last night
on the subject Facing the Social Re-
suits of the War" gave a graphic pic
ture of the suffering and waste caused
by the European conflict. William j.
Schieffelln, of New York. presided.
Among the most serious results pre-
dicted by Mr.. Ward from the present
war are the destruction OF human COM
passion, the loss OF faith in the triumph
of Christian ideals, and the loss of the
desire to do justice. He also predicted
a great Industrial war.
Mr.. Ward emphasized the teaching of
Jesus regarding the stewardship of prop
erty. power and ability, for the benefit
of mankind. and urged that the church
stand for those principles Of brotherhood
that would lead ali to stand together for
the development of property for the bene-
fit OF human life.
President Z. NJ. Poteat startled the
congress yesterday when he asserted that
the true Christian had right to no prop
erty whatever except what is needed to
maintain him In full efficiency The as
sertion was made in defining the property
right of Christians.
Other speakers at the morning session
on the question of practical ways in which
laymen can use their property for the
extension of Christianity were George
lines, r. A. Dean. and DR.. John r.
Goucher, Of Baltimore.

GREAT SALE OF
DRUMMOND WORSTEDS
Attracting Attention of Washington 5
Best Dressed Men.

The great sale OF the famous English
Drummond Worsteds, now in progress
at NJ. Stein & Co.'S tailoring establish
ment, Eigth and F streets, is certainly
attracting the crowds. No similar event
has ever created such a desire on the
part of the public TO secure a bargain in
good clothes as has this sale. OF course
the reputation of the famous Drum
mond Worsteds has spread all over the
world and when Mr.. Stein was fortunate
enough to secure twenty-five bolts of
these celebrated English worsteds he de-
cided to give his patrons a real treat by
making them up into suits to order at
so. No one ever heard of buying a suit
of Drummond Worsteds before under SIS
or $4O-so you can imagine the eagerness
with which the good dressers of Wash
ington are taking advantage Of Mr.
STEMS generous offer
The sale is limited, of course, TO the
twenty-five bolts of Drummond's. After
they are sold there will be no further
opportunity this season or at any time
in the future to buy them at $50. The
writer dropped in to see these goods and
he can vouch for the fact that they are
genuine DTummond's, for every piece
is stamped with the familiar J. D. & s.,

1915 Is
Baby Year

The facts about American babies, the
needs of American babies and Ameri-
cas- responsibility to her babies will
this year be known as never before,
because the first week in March will be
baby week throughout the country.
More than 400 communities, repre-
senting every state in the Union, are
already laying their plans for baby
week, according to the children's bu-
reau of the United States department
Of labor, in order that during those
seven days the needs of the babies
may be 50 presented that all the par
ents in those communities will learn
a little better how to care for their
babies and all the citizens will realize
that they have a special obligation to
safeguard the conditions surrounding
babies. 1t is confidently believed by
those who are interested in this nation
wide baby week that the remainder
Of the year will be marked by
strengthening Of all community activi-
ties for saving babies lives and giving
them better chance to grow to
healthy maturity.
The baby week idea originated in
Chicago not quite two years ago. Then
New York had a baby week and Pitts
burgh and other cities. Such practical
benefit has in each case resulted that
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs has undertaken to promote this
nation wide observance. State health
officials and national organizations in
terested in public health and child vel
fare have taken up the plan and In
various ways are giving 1t not only
their sanction, but their active CO.
operation. The extension divisions of
the state universities have promised
special assistance in interesting and
helping baby week in rural communi-
ties.
Baby week will give more parents a
chance to learn the accepted principles
of infaIr care and will awaken every
American to his responsibility for the
deaths Of the 100000 babies who, &C
cording to the census estimates die
every year before they are twelve
months old.

He Knew All Right

Here is a story from the Minneapo-
lis Journal abou. diplomatic negro
waiter; also about two well-known
Kansas men, who can go by the names
Of Smith and Jones, just to tell the
yarn, remarks the Buffalo Commercial.
Smith and Jones look much alike and
are frequently taken for each other.
One day Smith was in a certain big
hotel not a thousand miles from Kan
sas City and went into the dining
room for dinner. The negro waiter
brushed off the crumbs and said:
why, how is you, Mr.. Jones, how is
you? Use glad to see you. ! hasn't
seen you since | waited on your tables
when you all used to have little game
upstairs" I'm afraid you are mis-
taken" said Smith very quickly. my
name isn't Jones. You have the wrong
man" "Nuff said; nulf said,' smiled
the negro, with much bowling and
scraping. "Ah knows all right when
to keep nah mouf shet; All knows all
right, Mr.. Jones"

FIRST AID ESSENTIALS.
What Mothers Should Keep In the
Bathroom Medicine Closet.

Bathroom Medicine Closet.
Accidents will happen as long as we
are human, and particularly so while
we are children But the irritating
part about accidents is that we do not
expect them and that they all have one
thing in common-they happen at the
wrong time. When you have no perox-
ide you cut your finger. When Charlie
burned his hand at the bonfire you
were without olive oil or ointment to
soothe the pain. SO, the wisest thing
to do is to be prepared for war in
time of peace. to talk in the language
of the day. A good many serious re-
suits have been avoided by having a
wound dressed properly in the nick of
time. Every household, and that means
every mother ought to have lit
ways filed with a few essentials which
will prevent unfortunate consequences.
Antiseptics for small wounds should
be the first essential.
A small bottle of linseed oil and lime
water oil comes next. And you know
that 1t is the open blister which some.
times causes tetanus.
Boracic acid to wash out sores be-
fore putting the dressing on is not to
be dispensed with. Turpentine is also
splendid thing against infection Of
sores from rusty nails.
Do not let us forget the almost in
evitable bottle Of castor oil or milk of
magnesia in case of fever and indiges-
ton. A small quantity of essence Of
peppermint and spirits of ammonia
should also be added. because sick
stomach is frequent occurrence with
the little ones. A box Of bicarbonate
OF soda and one filed with epson salts
are indispensable.
