PLAN TO KEEP MINORS
 AWAY FROM P00LHALLS

Steps that might be carried out by the women of the city, to prevent minor boys from visiting billiard halls and poolrooms; the enforcement even more strictly than at present of the laws against the sale of cigarets, and other matters of the same general nature, were discussed at considerable length by members of the w. c. T. U. Thursday afternoon, and are to be dis cussed again at later meetings of the body.
 Dr.. Palmer and Dr. Lowe, who con ducted the cigaret clinic here last winter, spoke to the meeting, express ing satisfaction with the results achieved, and reporting that 49 men and boys had been cured of the clga- ret habit as result of the treatment, some of the patients being old ma pl1 l1 tues.'
 Circuit Judge w. B. Sorrells ana Prosecuting Attorney T. C. Parnam also made talks. along the line of con tinued enforcement of the clgaret' poolroom and liquor laws.

HANDSPRING SUITS
SOUTHERN SEASON BRINGS OUT UNUSUALLY LARGE DISPLAY.
Accepted Lines of Convent;oraIIy &c., were Tailored Coat Show Little Change From Those of Last
 Winter.

The Southern season always brings out certain number of spring tailored suits, but this year there is an unusu- ally large display. There is nothing particularly new or startling about the advance spring tailored costumes.
 For the conventionally severe tai lored coat the accepted lines promise to be very much like those of the win ter season.
 As is generally the case in the spring the Norfolk suit, although often hav- Ing little in common with the Norfolk except its belt, is much on view, espe cially in the collection intended for country or sports wear.
 Then there is the suit coat semi fitted and rippling around the bottom. ! This varies in length from hip to finger tip length. Some of the new models are of hip length with the front of the coat open to show the waistcoat in Breton or Louis XIV style. A fanciful tailored costume of black satin revealed pearl gray waistcoat embroidered in silver. This coat had a belt of the material and pockets posed below the belt. There are also few straight models, elaborately embroid- cred or braided.
 The spring frocks multiply daily. A lovely model recently noted was of navy blue serge and navy blue and green checked material. The serge formed the upper part of the gown which fastened down the side with froggings, meeting skirt of navy and green checks. The collar and cuffs were braided.
 Great vogue is predicted for braid trimming. An interesting model noted is of navy cloth and black satin. The long, straight fourreau opening over a black satin front is braided on the waist, and at the neck, while the edges are trimmed with pieces of wide gal loon, pointed at the ends and posed one above the other. At the waist similar pieces of galloOn are arranged to allow satin sash to slip under them. This sash is tied at the side and braided at the ends.
 For more dressy frocks there is pre- dicted return of the vogue for taffeta. This silk is also much in demand for trimmings and combined with geor- gette crepe and voile.
 Frocks of satin are much in vogue. Black satin intended for dress wear was appliqued with designs of Indian cashmere in medallion form with me- tallic embroidery on bodice front and cuffs.

Where Children Play

Give me the house where the toys
are strewn,
Where the dolls are sleep in the
chairs,
Where the building blocks and the
toy balloon,
And the soldiers guard the stairs;
Let me sleep in the house where the
tiny cart
With its horses rules the floor
And the rest comes into my weary
heart
For am at home once more.
Give me the house with the toys about,
With the battered old train of cars
The box of paints and the books left
out
And the ship with the broken sqars.
Let me step in a house at the close OF
day
That is Uttered with children's toys,
And dwell once more in the haunts o1
play
With the echoes of bygone noise.
Give me the house where the toys are
seen;
The house where the children romr
And I'll happier be than the man has
Meath the gilded dome of pomp
Let me see the litter of bright-eyeC
play
Strewn over the parlor floor,
And the boys l knew in far-off day
Will gladden. my heart once more
Whoever has lived in a toy-strewr
home
Tho feeble be he and gray
Will .yearn, no matter how far ht
roam,
For the glorious disarray
Of the little home with its Uttered
floor
That was his in the bygone days
And his heart will throb as it throbbeC
before
When he rests where a baby plays

at Can't be Done"

Somebody said that couldn't be done,
But he, with chuckle, replied
That "maybe it couldn't" but he
would be one
Who wouldn't say SO till he tried.
So he buckled right in, with trace of
grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be dome and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: ooh, you'll never
do that;
At least no one ever has done it.
But he took off his coat and he took off
his hat,
And the first thing we knew, he'd be-
gun it;
With the lift of his chin, and bit of a
grin,
Without any doubling of quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done and he did it.

Albuquerque came near losing the
Military Encampment on account of
the action taken by the City Council
regarding the closing of saloons last
week. An ordnance was passed by the
governing body of the city, which had
several loopholes, especially the one re-
garding the sale of booze which might
be taken away from the saloons to be
consumed. Governor Lindsey had asked
for strict regulation. In response the
governor wired Major M. L. Stern to
hold off with the work, which action on
the part of the governor seemed to
prove to the Albuquerqueans that he
meant just what he said. AS a result
a majority of the council got busy
quickly and adopted a suitable ordi-
nance. Governor Lindsey is teeto-
taller who is not afraid to show his
colors, and deserves the plaudits of peo-
pie who believe in protecting "our
boys"
