Good Evening
THE SOUL OF THE VIOLIN
BY ROY K. MoULToN

The SOUL Or The VlOItN
(Villanelle)
There are many different kinds OF
lawless sin,
But the girl next door is arch-fend
of them all,
AS she gently scrapes upon her violin.
There's the outrage that was brought
on by Berlin;
And the scandal of the Babylonic
brawl;
There are many different kinds of
lawless sin.
But more terrible that vandal javelin
Are the piercing strains that echo
through the hall
From the girl who gently scrapes her
violin.
There's the lagrancy that comes from
drinking gin, -.~
And the infamy that dwells in
glasses tall
There are many different kinds OF
lawless sin. :..
But those wailing notes like rasp OF
rusty tin
More deadly than a spook that girl
can squall-
AS she gently scrapes upon her violin
And to me the very devils sister twin
Is that lady with her haunted fiddle
call;
For many are the kinds of lawless sin
But none are like that ghoulish violin
Harry V. Philip.

tention than heretofore to sanitary regulation of
tenement property, in order that the most may be
made of existing accommodations. The Mayors
committee on housing in Boston recommends
housing improvements in the old North End Sec
ton of the city, as already outlined by the city
planning board, to be accomplished within the
present calendar year, and proposes the estab-
lishment of municipal fund, to be administered
by housing council of five members, for making
loans to encourage the building of multiple dwell
lings for low rental.
1.-THE main practical aspects of the situation,
with regard to construction, seem to be sum-
med up in recent remark by the chairman OF
the housing committee of the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York, that the factors which are de-
laying the building of apartments and houses are
high costs and difficulties of financing 1t seems
to be more and more the general opinion as this
authority also says, that there is grave doubt as
to any substantial lowering of the price level
within the next few years. So the thing to be
done seems, usual to. be the best that can be
done in the circumstances With practical bust
ness men, legislators and economists, well as
humanitarian agencies at work on the problem,
something adequate to meet the more pressing
needs may surely be expected. Without doubt
there great number of individuals, scatter
ed over all parts Of the country, who were pre-
pairing to build houses for their own use when
such plans everywhere suspended by the
war. Many Of these persons it is safe to assume,
are questioning the economic possibility of carry
ing out these plans or in the near future. If
some means could be devised for helping indi-
vduals to finance the construction of such
houses, the result would in the aggregate, largely
improve the general situation Here may be an
opportunity for the legislators"

MISS Merriam MORRIS

Early last fall 1 was taken with
the scarlet fever" says Miss Merriam
Morris, popular telephone operator,
1873 w. 18th St, Indianapolis, as in
troductory for a remarkable story of
her experience as a worker in the
great business world for women
Il was in bed for about seven
weeks, Miss Morris explains while
1 was convelescing, and while my
body was still weak from the ravages
of the fever, 1 fell a victim to influ-
enza, and owing to my extremely
delicate condition, l promptly de-
veloped case of pneumonia
Didn't Expect to Get Well.
My recovery was almost miracle.
When l was again able to be out Of
bed my nerves were completely shat
tered by previous suffering. Besides,
l had no appetite and I didn't relish
anything l ate. l was very slender
my cheeks were hollow and pale At
night l couldn't sleep soundly and
would often break out in perspiration
When I became strong enough I
went back to my position as telephone
operator but since my illness, up to
the time l finished my first bottle of
Pepgen about three weeks ago, I had
never been right from the standpoint
Of health and vigor. My work seemed
twice as hard as formerly After a
few hours standing on my feet my
limbs would hardly support me The
work was very tiresome to me, though
it should not have been to a healthy,
normal girl.
Repaid For Confidence.
my mother read about Pepgen and
insisted that / try it, which / did, and
now, thanks to Pepgen. I am feeling
like my old self again. Both my moth
er and had confidence in Pepgen be-
cause of the many people who had
recommended it.
Il don't know when my meals have
ever tasted SO good to me. My sleep
is sound. l have gained six pounds
since started to take Pepgen."
To many people Miss Morris's story
may seem remarkable, but it is echoed
every day by women, and men, too,
for whom Pepgen has saved a good
position and smoothed the way to a
better one by building the health and
strength needed
Pepgen may be obtained at Glenn
Thistlethwaite's drug stores or from
any other first class drug store any
where.-AdV.

What Methods Did
Pioneer Women Use
to Combat Liquor?

Directness OF action and Sabotage"
marred the efforts Of the "drys" of
early Wayne county, in their fights
against the early saloon.
In Clay township, 20 years ago, cit
liens did not suppress a saloon which
was operating in the township, quick
enough to suit the women Of that day.
A dozen Of them, headed by Mrs Olin-
da BunneH and Mrs Nathan Jones,
marched to the saloon and talked to
the keeper. Their appeals were eff
fectiye, says history, he quit business.
The same tactics were used on sew
eral others who tried to open saloons
They organized in punches, visited the
saloons, and in some instances kept
watch and watch in the saloon and On
man would visit them while the wom-
en- were there. The only saloon ever
licensed in the township was closed
before it's time expired.
In Williamsburg, the Washingto-
mans organized in 1S41, and the Sons
Of Temperance in 1886. and both of
these organizations did good work for
several years. When a saloon was
opened about 1885, a women's tenn
perance society was organized, which
soon put the keeper out of business.
In Dublin, the first temperance or
ganization was in 1889. and was fol-
lowed by the Washingtonians in 1886
and the Temple Of Honor in 1851. In
Webster, the temperance movement
started in 1878, and Arlington and
Boston townships and Chester and
Middleboro, were full Of temperance
workers.
IN Richmond, the first direct action.
after years and years Of petition and
prayer, was taken by ten women
| about 1888, who chose the saloon with
the worst reputation in town, entered
| it about ten O'Clock / nthe evening,
| it about ten o'clock in the evening,
of the habiteus. During the evening
| they took in enough of the situation
to enable them to demonstrate in the
| commissioners court" says the his
tory. They doubtless did.
