Hornell Branch To Be Hosts
of 81 Vacationists from
New York
Six Other Towns
To Receive Parties
200 Children Leave for Two
Weeks Outing on Up
state Estates

Do YOU believe in the Elks? Or arc
your believe ms" confined to fairies
1t doesn't make much difference in thi;
case, for the Elks are the good fairies
Of this story.
A month ago one of The Tribune
Fresh Air Funds field agents tried to
interest Hornell, n. Y, in the idea OF
entertaining a.party Of Fresh Air chill
dren this summer At first nobody
seemed to have time to lead the move
ment.
One said, "I've got to help raise this
Liberty Loan" Another put the idea
of with, "Pm going to be too busy with
the Red Cross campaign" So The field
agent, believing in the Liberty Loan
and the Red Cross, as we'll as the
Fresh Air Fund, did not press the mat
ter with these busy people, but kept
on looking for a captain for the cam
paign.
Elks Take II Up
One morning she found Samuel B.
Whitney, who thought for a moment
over the proposition, then smiled
"Well, I've got my cnecks for the Lib
erty Loan and the Red Cross all signed
up" he said. "and | don't believe the
Red Cross would care for my knitting
50 | think you can count on me to try
this thing. III put II up to the Elks
Club and see if they will help me-"
He did-and they said they would.
And when the field agent stopped at
Mr.. Whitneys Office to learn the out
come Of this conference he reported,
ITS all right, well do il; you can
send some boys and some girls
B. P. 0. f." Then he added in reply to
an inquiring glance from the field
agent, "That last is our campaign
motto-'Big party of each.
Call for Fifty-seven Children
Yesterday the invitations for the B.
p. O. L. reached the Fresh Air Fund
Office and proved that the club had
lived up to its motto. They called
for twenty-six boys and thirty-one
girls to be sent to Hornell for two
weeks beginning July II. =,
The best part Of it is that not all
the good fairies of that region live IN
Hornell Good fairying for the chill
dren Of the New York tenements has
been the fashion all around there:
Canisteo, eighteen minutes this side of
Hornell, has found fairy godmothers
who will play hostess to forty-iive of
the funds children; while Almond,
twelve minutes beyond Hornell, and
Cassnaeraga, twenty minutes beyond,
will provide fortnights of fun and
health for sixteen and eighteen boys
and girls respectively.
Going on up TO the north OF Hornell,
six other towns, Bath, Ramona, Cohoc-
ton, Nunda, Mt. Morris and Avon, have
found hospitality for ninety Fresh
Airs" All these places are to receive
their guests on the same date-July
17-and the whole party of 225 lads
and lassies will leave the city on the
same train next Tuesday morning.
200 Left Yesterday
Not all the Fresh Air Funds activi-
ties are in the future. Yesterday
morning the fund sent 25O boys off TO
the Shepherd Knapp Home at Litch-
field, Conn, and yesterday afternoon
fifty girls to Happy Land, at Tenady'

You cannot tempt japanese labor out
Of Mexico into the United States any
more, according to tie japanese cor
respondent of the "Nichi Bel" Of San
Francisco. Daigoro Hashimoto, a Jap
anese labor contractor, is now trying
TO get the three thousand japanese VINO
arc working in Mexico TO come into the
United States to help solve the labor
problem in America. The "Nichi Bei's'
correspondent, who is evidently an old
resident in Mexico, predicts complete
failure of Mr. Hashimoto's efforts.
"Most of u.s." he goes on TO say, here
in Mexico to-day mean 70 stay here. An
overwhelming proportion of the WORK
ing class among us japanese nave al

Those of us who have not are steadlly
working hard TO get 1t. Most OF Us
are now independent work rkingmen IN a
way. There are very few japanese mere
who are wasting thought about gong

Suffered Many Tortures
"Since 1910 the japanese in Mexico
have gone through experiences which
would turn an old-fashioned martyr
dom at the stake into a summer eXcur-
sion by comparison on-robbery, torture,
murder beyond all adjectiyes or
painters colors. We have survived
them somehow, and without the siight-
est assistance from outside. Our own
legation did not lift a finger 70 help us
Peace came in due time, and we no
longer feel the need of special protec-
tior. And there is not the remotest
desire on our part TO go into the United
states. From this point of view Mr..
Hashimoto's efforts will be fruitless.
"There should be no. difficulty, how
ever. for him to secure certain num-
Der of Japanese laborers TO suppl y the
needs Of the United States. lie should
divert some of our emigrants who are
heading for South America. Some OF
them arc eager enough to enter the
United States. The only question, or
course. is whether the American
authorities would permit their entry.

States by a heroic method. Their

Domestic Science.

Domestic science p is the art OF
dressing up a piece Off the neck OF
an aged cow so that it will look at
to eat.
For thousands OF. years food was
prepared in thoughtlese and ex-
travagant manner resulting In lop-
sided digestions and bankrupt hus-
| were still in their infancy the rugged
willowy neck of the domestic COW
was not considered good for anything
except to make side saddles anu hair
trunks. Our ancestors could not be
induced to eat one of these necks, as
nobody knew how to break its proud
and stubborn spirit. and as 4 result
supply at the Ladies Aid Society
suppers between the north and south
Domestic science, however, has
solved this problem to the satisfac-
ton of every vegetarian. Young, girls
who are about to get married are
now given a course in domestic SCI
ence and are allowed to experiment
in wild, free manner upon the ap-
petites of their husbands. Az 4 rule.
the domestic science wife does the
buying for the home, and the fiend-
ish ingenuity with which she wiz
wiring four square meals out OF a
soup bone is an awe-lnsplrlng spec
tacle. If every prospective, bride
were required to pass a rigid exam
ina ton in domestic science before
being led up to the floral arch there
would be more husbands with money
in the bank and a shrinking sensa-
ton around the waist line.
Domestic science, when it is work
ed we'll, can take the humble front
lawn dandelion and convert it into a
six-course dinner. Great quantities
Of polite and affectionate husbands
are being fed some form OF bran
mash every day. and in time become
too weak and emaciated to resist. 1t
is a remarkable evidence Of woman s
innate superiority that 80 many do
nestle science teachers are able to
eat the denatured high school dough
nut and get fat on it.
Domestic science has one advan-
tage-it discourages the pernicious
habit Of overeating in raucous and
engrossed tone of yoice.-Howard
