MARINES MEET CHA-CHAS.
Virgin islanders Hardest Drinkers
and Best Workers.

The Cha -Chas of the Virgin Islands,
who live on the west side of the 'har-
Dor of Charlotte-Amalie, are the
hardest drinkers and best workers on
the island.
The foregoing fact Is vouched for
by the Marines, who have hobnobbed
with Filipinos headhunters and have
long been friendly with the Chamar-
ros Of Guam, but who met their
Waterloo when they tried to estab-
lish the entente cordiale with the
Cha-Chas.
The Cha -Chas ere exclusive, declin-
ing to mingle or intermarry with ne
groes and resenting any outside in
reference with their affairs. The Ma
rines do not state what the Cha -Chas
drink, but assert that their industry
brings them good living as fisher
men and weavers of hats.
So far the Marines have taken only
long-distance observations of the
Cha -Chas, for, while the tribe Is not
hostile, its members plainly indicate
that they want to be left alone.

Sleep

Sleep. balmy sleep, of which
the poet writes! With that in
stock, successful are our nights.
If man can't sleep when to his
couch he goes, if he can't draw
some hours of calm repose, if
midnight hours but, fret him and
exhaust, his life is vain, his
world killing frost. He may
have fame in both the hemi-
spheres; admiring men may
greet his nobs with cheers; the
"Welcome" sign may hang
across the street when he to
Pruneville turns his princely
feet: but all his honors tawdry
are and cheap, if night hours
come and he can't go to sleep.
He may have wealth heaped up
and heaped again, his bins and
cribs may groan with iEon men;
he may have yachts and stately
parks and grounds, and hunting
steeds on which to ride to
hounds, but such possessions
have no worth or charm, life is
a failure and a false alarm, if
sleep won't come when he re-
tires to bed, while hours drag
on with weary feet. of lead.
While l can sleep l envy no
ones luck; the millionaire can
keep his snowy buck; the
statesman great may revel in his
fame, all shining marks can
play their 1ustrous game; l
sleep the night through like a
little man, and rise at dawn to
do the best l can.

est center of thought and activity in
the world People here have risen
TO but feeble conception of the re-
sponsibilities that such a position will
impose, but the City Club will help
IN large way to meet those respon-
sibilities-
This club will be a value because
u is interested primarily in the city,"
Mr Quick continued. "Other clubs are
interested in the city only secondariIy.
Ihe city Club idea has been tried and
Iound successful. and IL Is rapidly
Spreading over the United States.
In union there Is strength, and the
Sity Cluo Will represent the strength

will be a place of common council
where the dreams of civic betterment
cherished today will become the reali-
ties of tomorrow. The future of the

Recent Incident Cited.

THE people of Washington" Mr..
Woolley said, have not the ballot.
and Congress does not always give
them what they want But the City
Club will give the members of Con-
eress a chance to exchange ideas with
the people of Washington and to come
to a better understanding of the
needs of the capital. If we had pos
sessed a fully organized City Club
few days ago the House would have
been better informed and would not
have dared to menace the future of
our shell-shocked and wounded heroes
by cutting the appropriation for the
st. Elizabeth's Hospital.
The possibilities of the City Club
battle imagination" Mr.. Woolley con-
tinued. 1T is destined to become the
open forum of the nation. for here are
centralized the brains Of the nation
This club marks the dawn of a new
day. The time is not far distant when
the people of Washington will de-
mand that the membership limit be
raised from 1.508 to $500 or even
higher"
