The National association today was

of obtaining passage Of the federal

teen. The rule of age is as hard and
fast as is the age requirement for
membership in the United States con-
gress and to the boys who belong
the membership is quite as highly
priced as in the senior assembly.
While the congress was organized
in the Westminster Presbyterian
church and its directors belong there
and the congress meets there, it has
in it's membership boys from every
denomination and no denomination.
1t IS thoroughly democratic and
non-sectarian. 1t is presided over by
a speaker and is governed by the
same parliamentary procedure as
governs congress. And at times there
is much pomp and Formally, while
again there is just plain boyish

Must Resign at Sixteen.
There is just one unhappy feature
about the congress and that is that
the boys must resign at sixteen to
make room for the boys who have
come to be ten years old. No boy
ever left the congress without long
ing backward look-and that speaks
volumes.
The congress was organized by
Miss Martha p. Hornish with whom
the idea was original and she has
been its director through all the ten
years. She has been most ably as

hand at giving anybody a good time.
Miss Ackley is also an assistant
director.
The boys have two meetings every
month A meeting to study missions,
or rather TO speak on missions and
to tell what he has read and learned
on his topic since the last meeting.
Every congressman represents a
country. The speaker of the, house
presides and as the clerk calls the
roll every member rises and after
formally addressing the chair, speaks
for the country which he represents.
Everyone is learning what the other
fellows know, while they tell of the
progress OF missions in their respec-
tive countries.
The progress of missions means
the advancement of civilization in
those lands, SO the members OF the
Boys Congress have a knowledge Of
wide range in many lands.

PHILOSOPHERS on Booze
Habit.
BIG PROBLEM FOR COURT
Says Anybody Can Quit, if They Put
Their Mind TO II, But That She
Has Not Enough Sense
to DO II.

Drunk and disorderly; locked up;
complaint by telephone; nothing OF
value on person-that is all the police
blotter shows, but behind il is a story
OF how the other tenth lives, as IN
known to most people in Keokuk as
the domestic life of somebody in
Sumatra.
This time it is Pima Hogan. Chief
Henneman said she has been locked
up fifteen times since he took COM
mand of the police department. She
spent some time at Mt. Pleasant, and
she has viewpoint of life that is
very easy to understand and alto
gether logical, after she sobered OFF
today.
Yesterday her husband went home
from his work-and he is hard
working man-and found nothing TO
eat ready for him Also he found
his wife very drunk. In a few min
utes she was disturbing the peace.
Her Philosophy of Booze.
Il got too much bootleg whisky"
said Pima this morning in explana-
tion of being behind the barred door.
~Why don't you cut it out?"
because / haven't got enough
sense
TUu must have had lot"
NO; didn't drink much yester
day; / only drank about bottle and
half Yes; ] was in booze cure
once, but that never did anybody any
good. You can cut it out yourself by
your own mind, but the doctoring
won't do anything for you / quit
once for four years and half in
Kansas. Yes; / could do it again,
bur / have trouble, and when / get
to worrying / hit the booze"
A Constant Problem.
Just what 10 do with Pima Hogan,
of No. II Rag alley. is a good deal
of problem
When she drinks, she nearly al
ways raises row that causes her
arrest. Giving her jail sentence of
thirty days or SO. keeps her quiet
just that long and a little longer.
The authorities are thinking of try
ing to have her sent 10 Mt Pleasant
again in the hope that she will be
cured or kept there where she can
not get hold of whisky.
Every little while some such prob !
lem comes out Of some community !
in Keokuk, Rag Alley, or elsewhere, |
and yet most people think the police 1
court has only to accept a plea of /
guilty and say thirty days in the /
county Jail" !
This time she got sixty days while |
a decision is reehed about what TO
DO further.
