Statutory Provision That

Your short editorial calling attention
to the fact that the women are organ
izing a school to properly train women
politicians for their work certainly sug-
gests that It would be desirable to have
some statutory provision that men elect
ed to public office should also have some
qualification for their work.
Everybody knows what an inefficient
organization for its purpose our Con-
gress is, and yet men OF a very low or
der are sometimes allowed to dictate
who shall be and what

GIRLS DANCE FOR

PAIR TELL HARD LUCK STORY
Young Women Nabbed by Police Are
Stranded When "Days of '49"
Breaks Up in Rock Island.

"a carnival is stepping stone to
tough luck"
Eva Camphett of Lima. Ohio, frowned
as she sat before Police Matron Anna
Kirkman. Laura Pickett frowned,
too, as if to acquiesce in the statement
of her companion.
The wage, or salary, should say was
munifcent. They showed the usual lib
crafty of carnival companies to en-
ployes. Why, do you know, we got s
cents a dance for every dance? If it
was good day and there were enough
dances we would almost make enough
to buy our eats on" Laura said sar-
castically.
The two girls were picked up last
night by police. They had 60 cents
between them and were glad to get
picked up. They were at least pro-
vided Tgace to sleep, even though
the means, arrest, might have proved
distasteful to girls less accustomed to
humping about the country with a car

I'm the DAYS of '49" is the name of
the dance hall which was a part of
the Heinz carnival. which showed at
day, when the show left town. The
Days of 40" did not go with it. The
dance hall had not been making the
money that the investment called for
and so ii broke up. Hence the girls
were without a job.
Turns Good Omen.
Not only did their arrest provide a
place for them to sleep last night but
today ii proved the indirect means of
securing positions for them Mrs
kirkman obtained employment for
both in Davenport and they will not
only be provided with board and room
but the money they get will be in the
form of fixed wage, not subject
to the number of dances they dance or
the number of drinks that young men
buy while they smile across the table
at them in The Days of 40"
It's going to be a cold winter, and
they are happy.

structure is not used exclusively for
school purposes, in which case the Igoe
law, prohibiting erection of county

NEEDLEW0Rk GUILD IN NOVEM-
RER

So successful was the needlework
guild conducted last year by the Help
ers' circle Of Kings Daughters that
the plan as carried out then will this
year be repeated. The plan of the
guild as conducted last year was this:
The circle sponsoring the movement
has asked a, certain number Of women
in the city to each contribute three
articles that are alike to some cause
to be designated by the individual,
these women in turn to ask any num-
Der Of friends to do likewise, each
group of women enlarging the circle
Indefinitely. On a given day these
articles will he collected and will then
be distributed according to the desire
Of each contributor.
The Visiting Nurse association, the
West End Settlement. Bethany home
and Associated Charities have been
designated as the charities that are to
profit by the guild, or if the giver
wishes any particular society or indi-
vidual in which she may be interested,
and her wishes will be strictly adhered
to. The collection OF articles this
year will he in the early part Of No
yember, but the place has not vet
been decided. Last wear the affair
was held in the home Of Mrs c. c.
carter and there were collected at
that time about 500 articles of every
description, given by not less than
200 people.
The needlework guild Is a branch
of a national society which has sim
liar organizations in IS states of the
union Wherever the plan has been
carried out it has met with wonderful
success and the charitable organiza-
lions have been enriched with articles
much needed at the beginning Of the
winter months
The committee from the Helpers
circle in charge Of arrangements is
composed of Mesdames F. :. BrCugh,
chairman: I. S. White, Mary D. Mont
gomery, c. I. Walker, f. Il. First and
c. c. Carter. The guild has neither
officers nor dues and bat one meeting
throughout the year.

Dear Mrs Thompson: Three years
ago / met a Young man. At first he
seemed to care more for me than
did for him. We saw each other
quite often for about three months
and then he told me that he was
drinking man and he thought l ought
to know il. / felt terribly, but /
thought l could help him break the
habit. For a while | was very sue
cessful. He went a few months with
out drinking and then he started
again After a while he stopped a
second time. but then he went back to
the old habit He says that l am the
only one who can help him at all.
After he began to depend upon my
help l learned to love him. For three
years we were able to remain friends.
and then one time he said that he had
lost courage and he felt the only
thing that would help him would be
to have me for his wife. I said that
l would think it over-I could not de-
eide to marry him because l feared
the future so much. l decided that l
must refuse him, but when it came to
telling him | lost courage entirely
and l knew l could not give him up
l told him 1 would marry him. He
didn't take it the way l thought he
would. He didn't say anything for a
long time, and then he said he would
not let me. He told me he was going
away and that 1 would not hear from
him again. He thought l would
wreck my life if l married him and
he said he loved me too much to let
me do that. l didn't know what to
say and so I didn't oppose his plans,
but I didn't think for a minute that
he really meant what he said. The
next day | didn't hear from him and
l worried a little. Then the second
day I telephoned his boarding house
and learned that he had left and
would not return. l can't find any
word of him. 1 don't know what to
do. l am utterly unhappy and 1
know l can never be happy again.
Do you think he will ever come back?
BROKEN-HEARTED.
The man you love did a brave,
noble thing when he refused to marry
you and went away. He sacrificed
himself for the sake of your happi-
ness. Now don't defeat his purpose
by giving up to sorrow and loneli-
ness. You can be happy if you will.
