The recording secretary's report
was listened to with close attention.
Again the months have multiplied
themselves into the sum of year,
and it is full time to review the pro-
ceedings of the Woman's Board and
compute the resultant products dur
ing the period of our activities which
have been ably conducted by Madam
President Padgett, and associates, at
the 10 regular meetings whose at
tendance has averaged more than
seven women. By reason of generous
gifts to the hospital during the prevl-
Gus year the treasury was much de-
pleted so it was voted to suspend the
annual appropriation for surgical sup
plies and continue the support OF the
free bed and to expend Sl.OO for
china when needed.
This treasury condition greatly
stimulated the interest in the Thanks
giving offering, which collection with
the efficient help of Mrs. Daniels car
ried on with energy and phenomenal
success, as will be declared by the
Forthcoming report. The cash contrl-
buttons headed all records, and large
supplies of many useful articles were
received and sent to the hospital.
Great was the rejoicing of the board
thereat, and heartfelt the thanks &C
corded both these ladies for their
splendid showing.
Meanwhile the mending committee
was busily employed in their especial
line under direction of Mrs. Bowen

If we were honest with ourselves
and faced the tact that the reason
that we do not succeed is because we
are not putting enough energy in our
work. and are not giving to 1t our
highest intelligence, and that we are
not working towards any definite
goal, we should win out. But we
soften our defeat by wrapping 1t up in
the pink chiffons of faIsehood.
We call our laziness bad luck. We
even persuade ourselves to think OF
1t as undeserved misfortune, or the
Christening of the Lord, and we at
tribute other peoples success to luck,
or pull, even while in our souls We
know that luck is only another name
for being on your job.

mum. Perhaps the blacklist moment
of the judgment day for all of US will
be when we see the record of our

to behave ourselves, and do our part
in life, thank goodness, no such calan-
ity is likely to befall us. Our nerves.

they are an ever present help in times
of trouble.
Let us once persuade ourselves that
we are delicate, and we are equipped
to ride rough shod over our families
forever after, without giving them a
chance to protest against our greedi-
ness and seifishness. If there were
any tonic of honesty with which you

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIzABErH THOMPSON,

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I will be IA
soon. chum with a girl who goes
to dances. but my daddy won't let me.
Once my mother said 1 could, but
when 1 got all ready to so daddy said
I couldn't. He said 1 was too young
go to bed at nine.
Do you think I am too young to go
to dances even If go with my moth
err? She goes. but daddy never goes
with her. He doesn't care for dancing
and so he doesn't know what fun II Is.
When l do what mother says I can.
then sometimes daddy gets so cross 1
am almost afraid. Mother is away
mostly. Daddy does not like it that
she works and she goes out nearly ev-
cry night.
1 don't think they care for each
other any more, but they are good to
me. l just can't please both at the
same time and daddy Is hardest TO
please. What will do?
Your daddy is right. You are too
young to attend dances. Be on the
safe side, and when be advises
against a thing have faith in his opin-
ion and do not do It, Your mother
seems to be over-fndulgent; rather
than disappoint you she consents to
many things that would be unwise.
Wait until you are two or three
years older before you try to be a
young lady.
You can please both your mother
and father II you love them and try
not to displease either one.

AS an immediate means for correct
ing present abnormal commodity
prices and reducing the period OF ex-
cessive war debt taxation, resolutions
unanimously adopted by the board of
directors OF the National Association
of Manufactur at a meeting In New
York City urge public support of an
effort greatly to increase the indus
trial production. of the country, point
ing out the growing tendency to re-
strict production on the theory that
the less work a man does the more
work he provides for others to do.
The resolutions declare that much of
the Industrial antagonism which ex-
lists between employers and employees
Is based on the unjustifiabie and sys-
temAtically fostered belief among the
people that the manufacturers OF the
country are mainly responsible for the
levels which prices generally have at
tanned. Attention is also called to the
fact that heavy war debt taxation has
contributed heavily to present high
prices and increased productiveness is
described as an effective means of
shortening the duration of war tax
burdens now imposed on our indus
tries and the individual citizen.
