Recognizing the human races
love OF gossip" said Mrs. Gait. "the
plan OF the educational propaganda
department is for every women be-
longing to this organization to write
down what means to her the vital
truth in this war and send II into
headquarters. From this mass OF
material one hundred of the clear
est. most comprehensive statements
win be chosen and printed in PAM

Unique Publicity Ideas
Many unique methods for obtain
ling publicity for their activities
were cited by the delegates at the
|meeting. One of the most interest
bng Is the Bulletin of War News
Issued under the direction Of Mrs.
tharleS Becker. containing items
concerning women and children OF
|ths allied countries. culled from va
srious foreign newspapers
In Jacksonville, Fla, the womelI
Of the committee OF the Council Of
National Defense were influential in
securing a town ordinance passed
THAT causes all activities Of the
|city to cease for a few minutes at
y o'clock. the lights going out and
Hhe street cars being stopped. for
the purpose of sending up a silent
prayer for victory.
Tennessee reports that no work
ers in the committee are allowed to
Ihave their names or pictures ap-
pear in the local papers in connec-
fion with their war work. to pre-
vent a few from getting all the
fredit for the work accomplished.
Moving Pictures Are Useful.
New York women have moving pic
lures taken of themselves, and their
propaganda appear on the screen in
many picture shows throughout the
fState-
Publicity departments Of several
States have short pamphlets printed
IN clear and simple language. stating
|ouT purpose in being at war. and have
them placed in pay envelopes.
Others use pageants to arouse en-
thusiasm for the cause. Travelling
libraries with patriotic literature tour
ne country districts. and reacn the
.romtTy women in various States.
Poster exhibitions have been used with
shat success. the contributors rang
ng from the ablest artists of the
ommunity to the youngest school
hildren. The national chairman OF
he publicity department. Miss Ida
rarbell. who presided during the
pOur given to this work. laid great
trsss on the Importance Of organizing

wife and White on Sunday, May .,
one day prior to the Killing. White
and Mrs. Piatt reiterated their. dc.

the charges. Sloan says ~ you

ing White testified he, was walking
down the street when Sloan, who had
driven up In an automobile, accosted
him and called him over. There was
a hot exchange of words, and, White
testified, Sloan started. toward him.
Then, fearing for his life, said the wit
ness, he drew his gun and fired.
Mrs. Plat Not Called.
Mrs. Piatt, a young and quite at
tractiVe woman, was in the court
room during Whites testimony, but
the state did not .call her in rebuttal,
The prosecution permitted Whites
testimony to stand that Piatt had
told him that Sloan would kill him
IL he did not admit improper rela-
tions with Mrs. Piatt.
The shooting of Piatt, which fol-
lowed the killing Of Sloan, has not en-
tered into the trial. Inasmuch az
Piatt was cunning for White when
the latter fired the fatal shots the
prosecution appears to have admitted
that in his Ease the killing was iusti.
fable homicide.

vember we arrived in the harbor on
the east side of Queen Charlotte's
Island, called by the natives kom-
she-wah That evening two of the
Indians boarded the sloop, to whom
we gave the names of John and Char
ley The wind began to blow heavily
from the southeast and they declined
to leave US for the night. They be-
longed to a camp about four miles
distant across the bay and as we
afterwards discovered could not reach
their camp without considerable diff
Guilty.
In the morning the wind had in
creased to gale and the George
anna" was blown ashore. Nearly
abreast of where she was grounded
was another camp and on the beach
Indians were assembling from all
quarters. They belonged to the Hy-
dab nation. which is divided into nu-
merous tribes, inhabitating the island
and mainland opposite.
About the time we commenced
abandoning the sloOp probably so
had collected. At first they received
us with great show of friendship and
several of us remarked they were not
only the best looking but the best
Indians we had ever met, but we soon
learned that those demonstrations OF
kindness were but affected to induce
all our party to abandon the wreck,
which they indicated to us unmistak-
ably was now their plumber.
AS the wind was very fresh, the
bay rough and the surf very heavy,
it so happened that but few of the
people from John and Charley's band
(our companions on the sloop of the
night previously could reach the wreck
and it was already evident there was
a jealousy about their first having
made our acquaintance.
Nor lad we failed to improve the
opportunity to convince the Indians
named that we were friendly and any
kind Offices to us would be remuner-
ated. At one time we found ourselves
