THERE are so many wavs of doinl
ones little bit; we are all work
ing, our men are CALAMITY don
ing khaki and our women are diligent
ly doing Red Cross and aid work.
Society women as well as the Others
are all doing an extremely important
bit IN endeavoring TO grasp intelligent
ly the problem of food conservation
and to help solve it by economy in
their kitchens.
The report Of the secretary Of agri-
culture this summer, made the amaz-
ing statement that the country would
be on short food ratiOns within q few
months and famine menaced the rest OF
the world. 1t required facts like these
TO arouse half the country from the
apathy into which it had sunk. The
United States is, therefore, preparing
p0t only to practice economy in food
itself, but to help feed the rest of the
world. In this most important condition
of war, it is essential that the women
everywhere concentrate their energies
on giving their country the most in
felligent aid possible. The nation 's food
waste has been tremendous, and much
of this waste may be prevented by the
women Of the country.
1t seems the hotels and restaurants
took the initiative and set the ball roll
ing, and quick to FOLLOW suit and alter
appreciabF their extravagant modes
of living were the society women.
The attractive grounds surrounding
the John HAlbert residence were brigth
with light and color, Thursday night,
when Mr.. and Mrs. Albert and Mr.. and
Mrs. John II. Scott entertained with
charming al fresco dinner.
The Alberts gardens, which are es-
pecialIy lovely, filled with Towering
shrubs vivid hued plants and huge
shade trees, make an ideal setting for
summer time festivities.
The affair was one of the most de-
Iightful Of the season, and the guests
included fourteen prominent society
folk
Gay eolored Japanese lanterns light

which was arranged at one OF tho most
attractive spots in the garden was
decked with a huge basket of vivid

story Of Enoch Arden was about as fol-
lows: He went to sea and was ship
wrecked on an uninhabited island
where he remained for several years.
When at last he was rescued Mr.. Ar.

subsequent action?" lizard to figger,"

Not the Horse They Prayed For.

The nuns of certain charitable in.
.;tftutfOn in Calcutta had bus horse
that had done mitch useful service.
In course of timea<,e horse died, much
to the grief Of the good ladies' whom
he had served SO faithfully and well.
The providing Of successor was the
next problem, and. as funds were short,
the nuns decided to resort to prayer.
They prayed long and earn .stly and
one morning they discovered horse
grazing on the lawn. They were firm
ly convinced that their prayers had
been answered; the horse was taken
to the stable and harnessed to the
bus. A few days later the institu-
tion was visited by Il prominent citizen,
the owner Of Il number of race horses
and supporter Of charity. He claimed
the bus horse as one of his racers, in
spite OF the protest of the nuns that
1t had been sent to them in response
to their earnest prayers. He was good
enough. however, to give them a real
bus horse to replace the horse that he
had claimed,

spoonino Wastes Time.


"Sp0oning is a waste of time" DR..
Joel H. Hildebrand, chemistry profes.
sor at the University Of California,
told his freshman class. Then he
added:
physical attraction should be sec.
ondary. Men and women should meet
on the common ground Of intelligence
and fellowship. Their interests should
be genuine. To commence friendship
with spooning puts the relation on q
false foundation. Both are concealing
their better selves, their real interests
behind the mask of conventional silli.
ness.
1T is the beauty of the soul and
not of the skin that man should
seek. No marriage founded on sense
beguilement can be happy, for these
charms are short-lived. The bond
should be such that a man could love
his wife even though she became blind
and her hair fell out, for these exter.
nal beauties are the smallest part OF
the foundation upon which true love
rests. A wife does not need to be 9

Pet Animals Sold for Charity.

In these days, when nearly every
body in Britain Is giving up something
to the cause of the war, pet animals
have played prominent part as a
form of war charity. People have CIV
en- their dogs and cats to charitable
institutions to be auctiOned Off to raise
money for wounded soldiers. So many
unsuitable pets have been offered as
to make them burden to the animal
many of the cats and dogs were SO old,
decrepit and dirty that no bids could
be obtained for them, that they were
handed over to the societies to be
put to death by gas.

Pretended Deafmuti.m.

A French medical journal, lie Ca.
ducee, reports strange case, the sim.
ulation of deafmutism by a young sol.
der, following the explosion of great
shell. The case is given by N. Ber.
ruyer. In consultation the man
seemed to be an absolute deafmute.
Before the explosion his speech and
hearing were normal. He had at once
been told that he would recover, in.
formation that did not appear to af-
ford him any special pleasure. Close
watching did not disclose any evidence
Of stimulation. He was then placed in
q state of semi-consciousness with
chloroform, and in this condition
conversed without difficulty. A dress.
Ing was applied to his throat for the
psychic effect. Afterward he admit.
ted recovery, but exhibited no delight
over his good fortune. It was sup.
posed that the original shock was gen.
uine and that after this came the
thought of deliberate malingering in
order to keep out Of the fighting line,

In the early days of California q
thief with his knife slit hole in q
neishboring tent Mt the head of q
bunk. thrust in his arm and extracted
a bag of gold dust. He was caught
with the goods, indicted for burglary
and convicted. His counsel moved for
an arrest of judgment and new trial
on the ground that he was not guilty
of burglary, for he had not 'br0ken
into and entered" the premises, as
charged in the Indictment. The cour,
refused to grant q new trial, but said
that in passing sentence he would take
the peculiar circumstances into con.
sideration. He did so. He sentenced
the arm that entered the tent to ten
years Imprisonment, but accorded tc
the defendant the option of accom-
panying it there or of cutting it of

Get the Habit.

Good cheer Is great lubricant. It
oils all of life's machinery. Good cheer
is a great producer. 1t adds wonder
fully to ones active ability and in.
crcases mental and physical power. 1t
makes host of friends and helps us to
be interesting and agreeable. Good
cheer will attract more customers, sell
more goods, do more business with less
wear and tear than almost any other
quality. Optimism is the greatest
businessgetter, biggest trader, truest
achiever in the world. Pessimism has
never done anything but tear down and
destroy what optimism has built up.
In the business office, in society, in
politics, in workshops, everywhere, the
favorite is always the cheerful fellow
with the bright smile and bright
thoughts.

LEGISLATURE OF 1918 SUBMITS
QUESTION TO VOTERS.

In the campaign of 1914 woman
suffrage received 4O.2o9 yes votes. 1t
was voted on under article l22 of
the constitution and required a ma
iority Of all the votes cast at that
election. Suffrage was the only bill
with such Il requirement and there
WAS no special provision made for
counting the vote on this question.
therefore the blanks and the nos were
not separated.

and the nos were 49,34S making a
total Of S9.557-251 more than voted

1t is reasonable to suppose that

vote as these three amendments or
around $4,000 votes. From these fig-

70 REDUCE HOUSE MEMRERsHI

10 HEOUCE HOUSE MEMBERSHIP
Washington--Th mooted problem
Of reducing the membership of the
present cumbersome and unwieldy
house of representatives would solve
itself automatically if the principle in
volved in Il constitutional amendment
offered recently by Senator Pondex-
cordins to officers of the National
American Woman Suffrage :lssOcia-
ton.
The P0indcXter amendment provides
for striking the word male" from tho
second section Of the fourteenth
amendment. and it's effect would be to
base representation in the house of
representatives and in the electoral
college on the voting strength Of the
reSpecA Ave states.
Tskin,. the vote cast in the suffrage
states as II proper basis for r.pre-
sentution. because only in those states
ire American citizens granted full
right to representation irrespective of
SEX the present house of 435 members
would he cut to a "ouse of 247 menu
bers. Aside from any question Of how
soon this basis of representation may
actually he adopted. the drastic
changes which would result from the
acceptance of this equitable nlan ex-
hibt graphically the great disparity
which exists between the apportion-
meme Of the present house and the vot-
ers entitled to representation Section
IL influence in tho house would he
topsy -turvied. New England and
to women would be hit as hard as the
south. The power Of the suffrage
states in the house would be prac-
tically doubled
