GOOD WORK CLASHES
 WITH GOOD WORK.

New Haven, May 26-So many rr- ganizations here are undertaking re- lief work in connection with the war, or raising money for worthy objects, that complaint has become quite gen eral, the chief criticism being that the activities of one body overlap those of another. \ It was said today that representatFe citizen commit tee backed by several civic bodies had entered on the task of o-ordihating the relief work and the collection of funds. The aim is to form a cen tral committee. The task is said to present difficulties in that packers of an organization are usually under the impression that theirs is more inn portant than any of the others.

The Transformation.

After the hero of seventeen looks at the heroine of fifteen she is different person. Before he looks at her she likes the fine brick houses In the neigh borhood. In fact, she sees many ele4 gant houses in town that she thinks would make ideal homes. Unlike her mother, she even likes the house in which the family lives. But after the hero looks at her you couldn't give her a big brick house. To her such places look cold, and she hardly would take one of them as gift. But she just worships every little four and five room cottage she sees. They look so cute and neat and dear and sweet and cozy and snug. Oh, if she could just havo a house like that and a hero like him he is the only one there is of his kind --she would be just too happy for any. thing! And she would make fudge and have regular home, only it would be far happier than other homes.-@ Claude Callan in Fort Worth Star Telegram.

PROF. QUILTY's
 RECEPTION HAS
 BIG ATTENDANCE
Patriotic Number With Squad of Soldiers in Ball
 Room is Feature.

When Prof. Daniel c. Guilty starts out to give an exhibition of his danc- ing classes he does it with his usual efficiency and ends up by providing one of the most entertaining evenings of the year. Prof. Guilty held his annual exhibition and reception at Colonial hall last evening and every available seat and much standing room was occupied by spectators who enthusiastically applauded each of the 15 beautiful numbers on the program. So hearty was the evident approval that several groups found 1t necessary to give encores before the audience was appeased.
 The exhibition began with Roman games, and contained many classlc and esthetic dances, as we'll as folk dances, ballet numbers and comic numbers. The feature of the even ing was the last number, will You Be One of the Soldier Boys?' The dance with Uncle Sam and Miss Co., 1umbia showed the Spirit of '76, with the dancers in the costume of the Colonial soldiers and bandaged, in reproduction of the famous painting of that title. Into the center of the ballroom floor there marched Il men
 
 William Taylor, who brought storms of applause from the audience with their drilling Capt Louis lO'Neil of the company was present to watch the performance of his men
 Prof. Guilty himself appeared in a dance but once, Russian classic, with Miss Ella Tngard.
 Perhaps the most noticeable thing about the dancing was the grace and ease of the pupils and their precision. Many of the sirls were of the awk- ward age, and yet their movements were as filled with grace as.cou1d be wished for. The very little children who danced with their dollies, showed perfect understanding of the steps and ease in their execution. Prof Guilty needs no further recommend. ation as master of the art of teach ing dancing in it's various phases than the work of his students as seen in his exhibition last evening.
 The pupils who appeared in the va rious numbers included: Cyril Phe- Ian, Selma Eckler, Carol Gore, Mil dred Anderson, Catherine Ellison. Edna Gritmap, Catherine Mullins. Nellie Axma11, Gertrude Burns, Sarah House, Elvira Schoenfeldt, Mildred Jubb, Loretta Stadtler, Diana Berman, Ruth Berman, Dorothy Phelan, Flor entine Burns, Elle Tfngard, Grace Crowley, Edna Orvis, Mazda Nelson, Mrs. Elmer Blank, Lois Wolff. Dor Iska Chaffee, Marion Mccormack, Ethel Carr, James sMcKeever, Harry Abercrombie, Edwin Schultheise, Cornelius Schultheise.
 Following the program those who participated were presented with nu merous bouquets by admiring friends. Miss Florence Umstatter was pianist for the exhibition and a special orchestra accompanied the larger numbers.

Tragedy of Being Dull.

In the Woman's Home Companion Arnold Bennett describes the tragedy of being dull:
 The man lacking imagination is the utterly matter of fact man. He is nec4 essarily the man .Nvho never has and cannot have any point of view except his own. He is the Wordsworthian man to whom a primrose by the rivers brim was trictly yellow primross Instead of being miracle. He is irn4 prisoned in what to him is the actual, and he is always the exact center of the prison, which Is of thickest iron. His tragedy is that he does not sus4 pect and is incapable of suspecting that he is in prison at all and that the prison walls and floor and roof entirely prevent him from really getting at any other human being whatsoever. He Is always in his own place. This fs the deep meaning of dullness, and this is the dull mans doom

EVERY MAN LOVES
 SOME WOMAN

"Better to hope tho the clouds hang
 low,
 To keep the eyes still lifted;
 For the sweet blue sky will soon peep
 through
 When ominous clouds are rtfted.
 There never was night without a
 day
 Or an eve, without a. morning;
 The darkest hour, as the proverb goes,
 Is the hour before the dawning."
 Whenever you hear people speak of a. certain man, as one who takes no interest in women, don't set 1t down as an actual fact How is the world to guess what is in a particular mans heart, or really to know that it does not throb the faster for the near pres ence of some one woman? It is un- natural for a man to live happily, without loving some one. Because scores of the women whom he knows do not happen to fill the bill that IS not saying but what there is some one woman who does. It is generally the woman with whom he is thrown most in contact who discovers the rusty key of his heart still sticking in the lock. He feels the need of woman's com- panionship, and unconscious1y settles into the habit of contenting himself with her. Ere he Is aware of it, this one woman gains such an influence over him that it dawns upon him that she is more to him than any other woman But it isn't every man who finds himself in love, who is willing to marry. It is 8 hardship for many - T.f- .,p F<x E1 "a may be living at home with an old mother who has horror of daugh- ter-in-law being brought in to her. Or he may be boarding with part ner, who has an unattached sister, whom he would like his companion to marry in order to cement their busi- ness relations the closer.
 Neither to his parents, sisters, part ner, nor any other interested party, does he consider it advisable to tell the truth-that he has found a woman who interests him and whom in due time he will probably marry. As long as he can call without proposing out and out, he will put off marriage. He loves her, but, when it comes to con f1icting with his business, or social in terests, love is of his life a thing apart. He is willing to keep on loving to the end of the chapter, unless he is brought up with a sharp turn by one of her relatives, who will suggest to him that he had better marry or break off and give the girl a chance to get somebody else. Facing the possibility of losing her, the love in his heart which he has stif1ed so long, conquers. People who. know him are amazed when they hear of his approaching He tells friends, he has at last met the one woman who appeals to him. To none of them does he con- fess that he met that one woman ten years ago and he has been loving her all that time. No wonder that such g. man proves hard for other women to fascinate.
 But a woman-hater? Noi far from 1t. The gift of loving is strong in every man. Not one of them is born without love. Some adrodtIy conceal it. Others have no need to. They fall in love openly, wed, and live out their The man who conceals his liking for the opposite SC generally has some good reason underlying it. One such single man whom knew and all the girls admired from afar because he woufd not approach any nearer than formal acquaintance

In order to solve the problem spe4 cial stand was erected in Germany, and experiments were carried on along the shores of lake the surface oA which was frozen The ice was GOV. cred with strong blanks. It was shown that an infantry bullet shot ur-ard in a vertical direction passes downward in the same position in which it pass ed upward In other words, it cana back to the earth with its bottom first. Why was it not upset at its culmina4 ton point? The answer is that the propeIling force ceases to act at ths continuation point, but the twist has as yet not stopped, and therefore it starts its fall with a twist. Even on impact the twist has not stopped, as was in4 dicated by the warping of the wood fbers in the planking on the ice-Pop- ular Science Monthly.

Tn making stock. fresh. lean. and juicy meats. preferably beef. with a little veal and ham, produce the best results. Cracked bones. especially the marrow and gristle should be used, as they furnish the richness and body necessary to solidify the stock into jelly when cold.
