towns or communities where our club
workers are also necessarily active IT

Need Definite Goal.
1--WE must have a definite goal in ouI
work-a clearly seen objective point
We must adjust our means to our ENDS
We must use what we have to get what
we need. Someone has quoted Robin
son Crusoe as an illustration of these
principles. To save his life was ms
first great thought-his dennite goal
with few shreds of clothing, few
pieces of wreckage-what did he do:
He adjusted his means to his end. He
used what he had to get what he need
ed-he lived. Let us apply this idea 70
our state work and our local work.
'The very first thought in the object
for which our organization exists ts
this, to bring the women or the state
into communication for acquaintance.
we are doing this to a great extent In
our local club meetings, in our district
meetings, in our board and council
meetings and in our annual state meet
ings. But, cannot we do much more! DO
we know our neighbors at nome as we
should, as federated club women with
a great vital object in view, to get &C
quainted with the people in ana ABOUT

we give to our state than TO ne goou
citizens? Why SHOULDN'T we nave GET
together parties and discuss the com
mon interests of our communities, with
much singing to get our hearts proper
ly tuned. Why couldn't our clubs urge
the formation of community clubs con-
sisting of the mayor, ministers, chtei

meetings or parties during each year?
Would not this be laying the founda-

miss Paddock tells us that of the
public libraries in our state
are known to have been
started by club women. Are these
libraries serving the greatest useIuI-
ters? Are they made educational and
attractive by means of artistic posters
and bulletins? Have we placed books
therein that will carry the messages OF
our departments of work? Are lists OF
the best books posted up and are they
school teachers using them?

Children love this fruit laxative"

A child simply will not stop playing

ally, breath is bad, system full of cold,

California Syrup of Figs" and in q
few hours all the constipated waste,
sour bile and undigested food passes
out of the system, and you have a well,
playful child again.
Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it never
fails to act on the stomach. liver and
bowels.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle Beware of coun-

Man Who Says He Can
Talk Monkey Language
Has Gone to Jungle

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Prof. Robert
l.. Garner, who studies monkey talk and
nature, is going to Africa again to bring
back more specimens of his favorite
subjects.
He says he knows twenty words of
the monkey vocabulary with which he
will talk to the apes in the jungle and
learn more about them than any other
man could.
CARRIER says the ape has a language
somewhat like mans, only it has less
sounds. We have 100 groups of sounds,
while the apes language is built only
on seven groups. he says.
Garner came to this conclusion after
studying the ape in large strong wire
cage house he. had built himself in the
jungle, away from any other humans.
He lived in this cage with his mon
key subjects and found it gave him ev-
cry advantage to study the apes Ian
guage and habits. This is how he learn
ed twenty words of monkey talk
Years of study alone in the jungles
of Africa have made Garner especially
flied for the new expedition. He will
explore western and central Africa for
his collection.

DRASTIC STEPS ARE TAKEN
TO RELIEVE CAR SHORTAGE
Railroads Given Ten Days to
Name Committee to Decide
on Relief Measure

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-The inter-
state commerce commission took dras-
tic steps today to relieve the shortage
of coal, refrigerator heater, ventilated
and insulated cars, serving notice upon
the railroads that unless they should
appoint a committee within ten days,
vested with plenary powers to cooper
ate in relief measures, the commission
would act Independently.
Holding that present conditions are
without a parallel in the country's his
tory, that "the wrongs are fragrant"
and that "in the emergency any doubt
as to it's authority to act should be de-
cided in favor of the general public, the
commission also issued an order requir-
ing the roads to return to original own
ers all cars of the four specified types
on their lines as fast as the cars are
delivered and unloaded at their destina-
tions.
The order will become effective Feb
ruary 81 and will remain in force until
May 1. By that time, the commission
believed, relief will be general. In is
suing it's order, the commission review
ed at length it's investigation of the
situation, saying it had found some car
riers honestly endeavored to relieve the
situation, but that as a rule and with
but few exceptions" the roads have
failed to afford such relief" Notwith-
standing assurances that diversion and
misuse of coal cars would be stopped
the order says, hundreds of instances of
diversion and misuse have been quoted,
and sit is clear that the entry of a
formal order is necessary to protect
shippers, consignees and the general
public"
Commissioners Clark, Clements and
Hall dissented from the order.
