Robustness
v D IAN

Many of our good people are de-
ploring the fact that so many of our
American girls insist upon going into
the business world to make their liv-
mg. They are afraid they will have
some of their sweet femininity rubbed
off by contact with the trough world"
Now to tell the truth, the business
world isn't rough at ALL Business
men treat the women working for
them with just as much courtesy in
the office as in their own home. To
be sure they expect to get value re-
ceived from the services of their wo-
men employees, but that only makes a
girl self reliant and capable. And no
girl would want her employer to ex-
pect less from her than from a man
in her position.
Then again, these business women,
if they use their heads, will make
mighty satisfactory wives In the
first place, if they have worked all
day in an office themselves, they will
be able to realize just how tired a
man is when he comes home at night,
and they'll know that he doesn't
want to listen to any of their troubles
as soon as he steps across the thres-
hold.
In the second place they can trans
fer some of the Office efficiency they
learned into making their own homes
efficient. The time is fast approach
ing when they won't be able to gel
any Lizzie or Annie for a day to helr
them out with the housework, anc
they will have to run their homes SC
efficiently that they can keep them

BENEVOLENCE AIDED
WITH S475. 90

1t is a pleasure to note the success
of Tag Day put on by the Ladies of
the Grand Rapids Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs which took place Satur-
day, November IS. The ladies did ex-
cellent picket duty on the principal
corners of main streets in our city. No
one was passed by without having an
opportunity to do their bit. This or
ganization has an excellent reputation
in our city for the many creditable
things they have accomplished in the
past and we are sure they have many
more improvements under contempla-
ton for the future. Never refuse to
help these ladies in carrying out their
future aims. The city will grow more
beautiful and attractive as time passes
if you give this organization an op-
portunity to develop the park and
Scenic scheme they nave in embryo
and the relief of needy families. This
money is we'll invested as the ladies
make excellent use in helping the
needy and guiding interests along the
civic beauty lines. Their influence and
good taste and judgment is helpful "a
long all lines. The ladies are entitled
to great credit for carrying out this
campaign for it is no fun or pleasure
to stand on the street corners on a
cold day to make these collections.
Our advice and suggestion is to never
lose an opportunity to boost and help
the ladies of the Fedora ton in all their
undertakings no matter along what
lines they make their demands.

IN THE AFTERGLOW

Mother O. mine in the afterglow
Of mothering years, love you so;
For loving me e'er, life | knew,
When next your heart a new life
grew;
Loving me on into fair childhood,
When [ so little understood
The long, hard way, we all must go,
Mother o. mine. love you So
Loving me, too, when life so sweet
Tempted my wayward, girlish feet
Away from paths of truth and right
To paths that lead TO sins dark night;
Winning me back with loving tone
To ways that you have made your own
By struggle and stress and pain and
prayer,
By loves own cords you held me
there.
Mother O. mine, tbs mine to take
The burdensome load, the stress, the
ache.
That come in motherhood's fair years,
The joy, the pain, the love, the tears;
'Tis mine to give whot you gave me.
Mother o. mine, I would faithful be
To the highest note in the song you
taught
Ny girlish lips, the music fraught
With all the mother hopes and fears
That fill to the brim the mothering
years.
Mother O. mine, in the afterglow
Of motherhood's years, thank you so
For gifts to me from out your heart,
At thoughts that rise my hot tears
start;
How great is my love before you go
Away to rest from your mothering;
I would remove ife's every sting,
And give you rest in the afterglow,
For, mother O. mine, [ love you so.

new EFFORT is MADE
TO END BOWIE BETTING

BALTIMORE, November 24-The
legal battle concerning the right of
the Southern Maryland Agricultural
Association to conduct horse racing
at its track near Bowie, Prince
Georges county, assumed a new phase
with the filing by States Attorney
S. Marvin Peach of Prince Georges
county. on behalf of the state and
himself, of a bill for an Injunction
against the association seeking to re-
strain it from race betting at the
Bowie track. In discussing the situa-
ton, Mr.. Peach said:
Il am now under injunction by or
der of Judge Camillear restraining me
from arresting or in any manner from
interfering with betting now going on
at the Bowie track. 1 have filed my
injunction papers with Judge Fillmore
Beall. one of the associate justices of
the seventh judicial district at La
Plata, Charles county. ! want the in
junction, otherwise l would not have
filed it,"
Further than this Mr.. Peach stated
that he preferred not to make any
comment.
Judge Beall, at his home at Belts
Vile, Prince Georges county, stated
that he had the papers, but. of course,
could say nothing at this time as to
what action would be taken. 1t is un-
derstood that interesting develop
ments may occur today or tomorrow
IS the result of the filing of this in
junction.

ILLINOIS LEADS IN WEST
Has Best Percentage in Conference
Foot Ball Season, With
Ohio State Second.

CHICAGO, November 24.-The not
unexpected victory Of Illinois over
Ohio in Columbus smeared the record
of the last undefeated team in the
western conference and forced fol-
lowers of foot ball to resort to the
percentage table to determine the
champion of the race which closed
Saturday BY this method Illinois
leads. having won six games against
a single defeat. and there is little
doubt that the Zuppke eleven as it
stands today is really the best in the
conference.
Tle Illini outplayed their Ohio
rivals most consistently and never
should have been as hard pressed as
a 9to-7 score indicates PRESSED
hard they were, however, and it re-
NAMED for Bob Fletcher to pull the
game out of the fire with u field goal
in the last half minute of play.
Another record was broken when
Minnesota defeated Michigan by "a
to in Ann Arbor Saturday. That
was Michigan's fourth defeat. Never
since Yost went to Ann Arbor, in 19Ol,
and never in the history of the con-
ference have more than three teams
been able to win from the Wolver-
ines in ID single season until the pres
ent one.
Beyond assuming that Illinois Is
the champion and that Ohio is sec
ond. it is unsafe to endeavor to rank
many of the other teams.
Startling uDsetS and the tremendous
interest in the games made the season
remarkable Many of the games drew
between 10000 and $4,000 persons. The
gate receipts at the game Saturday
between Chicago and Wisconsin were
about $4,000.
The final games marked the passing
of some brilliant stars. Chick" Har-
lev, all-American halfback. played his
last contest with Ohio. Chicago lost
several men--Capt. Higgins, Graham.
Hutchinson. Hinkle, Mcdonald and
Stegeman. Men who finished their in
tcrcollegiate careers at Wisconsin
were Capt. Carpenter, Meyers and

Frazee Calmly Confident.


The Boston magnate. who in addi-
ton to his base ball affiliations Occu-
pies a prominent niche in the theatre
cal world, is in Washington in connec-
ton with the new show at the Belasco.
of which he is the producer, and his
visit has nothing to do with the ma
tional pastime. He showed no hest
fancy about discussing the American
League muddle, in which he is one of
the chief figures. but did it in mild
hammered way that belied the reputa-
ton he has acquired as Scrapper.
His opinion that Johnson is going to
come out of the little end of the horn
in the battle now being waged was
delivered in the quiet. diSpa
tone of disinterested onloOker in
stead of a ringleader in the hostilities.
"Johnson's tactics have arrayed
against him two of the most powerful
men in the league-Comiskey and
RUPERT" and Frazee. His high
handed methods have sickened the
public and alienated 80 per cent of the
newspaper men. In the present con-
troversy he has forfeited the moral
support of those who have property
interests at stake and legally he
hasn't got leg to stand on, as will
be demonstrated before the annual
meeting is held. Much of the author
ity he has exercised in the past and
is trying to exercise now is clearly
vested in the board of directors. as
any ten-year-Old boy could learn from
reading the constitution of the league.
So long as the club owners were
willing to let Johnson get away with
his arbitrary methods all was well
and good with him, but they are no
longer willing and now there will be
different tale to tell. Not only IS
Johnson attempting to usurp powers
not vested in the president, he legally
M ri O n no
claim to the title.
The constitution specifically states
that the president must be elected an
nually and johnson has not been
elected since 1910. No executive of
any firm or corporation legally can
be placed in that position beyond the
life of its board of directors, and in
the American League the directors
are named for a period of one year
only.
Cites Assault Case.
johnson. as president, is a salaried
employe of the league and his duties
are limited to directing the work of
the umpireS and maintaining discipline
among the players on the field. How
we'll he has fulfilled his task in the
latter capacity may be judged from
the fact that one of>my players who
struck an umpire in the course of a
game at Boston was suspended for ten
days, whereas in the Mays case he
ordered indefinite suspension for
player guilty of no such fragrant vio
1ation of the rules of order and dis
cipline.
mo, there is little likelihood of
compromise short of Johnson getting
out and staying out There is no doubt
in my mind that both Comiskey and
Rupert are in dead earnest abou
deposing him, and. with the law to
back them up, l don't see how John
son can escape the fate in store for
him"
Frazee denied knowing anything
about the formation of a third league,
talked of as Planned by himself and
his associates. and said he had alb
soiutely no intention of selling his
interests in the Red Sox-in fact, that
no. offer has been made, from either
Representative Gallivan or any other
source.
