work" she said to me, speaking Of
the teaching side of 1t. II try to get
ali the girls to see that they ought,
if possible, to join some church.
Then I teach constantly the idea
that each one must be bit of ra-
dunn instead Of sponge"
She amplifed this little.
The Religious Sponge
Il mean that in so many church
congregations the audience consists
wholly Of people who are mere
sponges-those who are content to
listen passively, feeling that their
Christian duty is accomplished. A
sponge never discovers its true ma
ture as long as it remains in a satu-
rated atmosphere. We refuse to
provide a saturated atmosphere for
the girls. We want them to give
out, like bits of radium, some of
their own light to others. Our aim
is to set every girl at whatever work
she can best do"
"The third point you spoke off," I
asked.
II endeavor 10 impress them with
the conviction that each must de-
velop her own prayer and spiritual
life This, naturally, follows the
radium idea, and is one reason, !
think, why 80 many are finding in

vited to the wedding.
The party left New York on board
the Patria on August 7, and will
go first to Naples, where the man
ager Of the International Railways
will meet them with a special train
and personally conduct them through
Italy, France, Belgium, Switzerland,
England and Germany. They will
be the first American party to go
through Germany since the war.
Besides the American delegation
there will be the same number of
people from twenty other civilized
nations. The Queen of Holland, the
Queen Of the Belgians, the Presi-
dent Of France and other royalties
and officials will meet the train along
the way to welcome the delegates.
AS they go through the different
countries the party will study social
conditions. There will be none of
the usual sightseeing, and those of
the party who have been abroad be-
fore will get new visions of these
countries.
Queen Maude of Norway is hold
ing reception at the Royal Palace
in Christiania for the delegates to
the International Council.
Mrs. Merriman is corresponding
secretary Of the National Council of
Women and chairman Of the better
film committee. She is also execu-
tive secretary of the National Fed
GRAFTON of Better Films and on the
editorial staff of Community Motion
Picture Bureau, an organization
specializing in films for educational
and social institutions.
Mrs. Norman is the only Ameri-
can on the program at the internal
tional meeting. She is to make a
speech on better films, and il is her
intention to show what America is
doing in the matter. She will take
with her some American films to
illustrate her lecture Though
it is supposed that the language
spoken at the meeting viii be the
English, Mrs. Merriman also speaks
Spanish, German and French, and
is prepared to deliver her address
in English, French or German.
The meetings of the council will
be held at Norway's Storthing (the
Parliament Building) in Christiania.
DR.. Merriman is interested in the
work Of educating boys and has done
much along that line. He is under
taking the education Of several boys
yat his own expenses. He will be the
official physician Of the party.

Miss Burial introduced q system of
groups with captains, according to
the locality where newcomers hap
pened to live. The group captains
are really Miss Burrall's lieutenants.
They see to It after a new girl Is
assigned 70 their group that she re-
ceives all information about the
classes, basketball team and
her up and report to Miss Burial.
"one Of the features that appeals
to the girls" Miss Burial remarked,
is unique way we have Of desig-
mating the different groups. In a
spirit of hilarity it was suggested
that each group take a ridiculous
animal name and be known by It.
l won't say they really try TO live up
to such titles as the Happy Hippos,
the Daring Deer or Terrific Tigers,
but the names afford a lot If fun at
orr gatherings and are the basis for
songs and yells for each group. All
this helps to stimulate esprit de-
corps"

nal names?"

"The class also believes in jollity,
JOY, even hilarity. Once every two
weeks a corking good time is
planned by the recreation commit
tee. These good times depend some
what on the season, of course, but
Washington offers wide variety Of
possibilities. Sometimes they are
conducted by the whole class, some
times by groups. They range from
skating parties, sightseeing trips
and launch rides on the river or
canal to picnics, house parties at
nearby girls camps and time-hon-
ored receptions and teas. We try to
care for every variety Of taste and
for every interest. We want the
girls to meet worthwhile young men
under suitable conditions, and so we
encourage them to bring their.
friends to all gatherings which can
be arranged to include them. We
have a mixers club. a guitar club, a
ukele}e club, choral club, two gym
classes, basketball team and
number of others"

quinquennial meeting In

Christiania, Norway, in Sep
TENDER. From the millions Of club
women in America ten delegates
and ten alternates have been chosen
to attend the meeting, and Mrs.
Myra Kingrnan Miller has been
elected chairman Of the American
delegation.
Only Mrs. Miller Is now Mrs.
Josiah Charles Merriman, and there
by hangs a romance. A short time
ago the then Mrs. Miller's daughter
became the bride Of Lieutenant Com
mander Carl Erling, and the bride
and groom quickly turned about and
sent out announcements to the eff
feet that lieutenant Commander
and Mrs. Carl Erling announce the

Also, du Pont told Of the incident

young man was, and the latter got a
prompt promotion as part payment
for that New England dinner.

A Business Woman

Miss Burial is business woman
herself; therefore, we'll qualified to
understand the life and ideas Of
other business girls. Her present
work is in the educational depart
ment of the National Geographic
Society, but she happens to be a
trained teacher also. She is dark,
extremely pretty, slender, Of medium
height, with a pleasing voice and a
captivating smile; she has a nile-a-
minute delivery, which is the despair

Girls Are Generous

I'VE are great believers in tithing.
The class makes no attempt to re-
ceive or control gifts. About $3.50 a
Sunday flows into the class Golfers.
When any special cause for money
help is presented the girls are told
about it. They do the rest. Last
year we gave over $4,000 to various
charities. If q goal seems too diff
cult to reach, that Is the goal we
pride ourselves on reaching. You
know our class motto is the third
lire Of the little quatrain, The Song
Of the Panama Builders:
Have you got any seas that they sag
are ancrossable?
Have you got any mountains they
can't tunnel through?
We specialize on the wholly impossL
bic,
Doing the things that no one can do,
I'VE FEEL the lure Of the so-called
impossible. Any one can fail in an
easy task, but gigantic one enlists
the imagination and helps to carry
one over the top"

DIRTY POLITICS

Somewhat on par with the literature
issued by the Democratic State Committee
of Ohio, in seeking to arouse racial preju-
dice in the recent election, was more in
sidious device employed by New Jersey
Democrats to try to bring about the defeat
of DR.. Walter G. Alexander who was on
the ticket for Assembly. This device took
the form of a post card which was sent to
about 10000 white voters in order to in.
f1uence them to vote against DR.. Alexander.
1t was made to appear that the card was
paid for by the "African-American League
of Essex County,, an organization that has
no existence in fact. The wording was arit-
fully contrived so as to appear to, be an
appeal to colOred voters to insure the elec-
ton of colored man. and the card was
sent to the white voters, so as to arouse
racial antagonism.
Fortunately, the hard headed and sensible
voters of New Jersey were not to be fooled
in this way. They voted for DR.. Alexander
despite the device of the enemy and elected
him, the first member of his race to occupy
a seat in the legislature of New Jersey.
How the leading Republicans Of the
county regarded the mater was shown by
the comment of the president of the Repub-
hcan League at testimonial dinner given
by the victors, where DR.. Alexander was
well up on the list of those highly toasted
Mr.. Vanderbilt said
81 think one of the most despicable bits
OF politics occurred when certain people,
Democrats suspected, sent out very disa-
greeable postal cards directed against DR..
Alexander. [ understand the prosecutors
office has taken it up and it will be handled
in stringent way
The moral is that dirty politics does not
always pay and that it is harder to fool
the voters than it used to be.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov-Reduction of
Southern representation is going to get an
inning in Congress- A number of out
spoken newspapers have commented strong.
ly on the subject. The Pittsburgh Chron.
icle-Telegraph, one of the leading daily
newspapers of Pennsylvania, speaking on
this important subject, says
"With the 1920 Census figures before
it, Congress will soon have to take up the
question of reapportioning the membership
OF all the House. There are now 423 men,
bers on the basis of one for 21O,5O4 per-
sons. A reduction, rather than an in.
crease of membership, is being strongly
urged. This could be accomplished by ap-
portioning representation on the basis of
the Presidential vote instead Of upon the
basis Of population. This would reduce the
entire membership but would especially af-
feet the Southern representation.
The states which do not allow Negroes
to vote would be particularly hard hit.
Section z, OF the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution provides that when
the right to vote is denied any male in
habltant OF such state, being 21 years of
age and citizens Of the United States or in
any IN rebellion or other crime, the basis
OF representation therein shall be reduced

SAN FRANCISCO CRIMINAL RECORD

The San Francisco gangsters, who paid
the penalty of their nefarious crimes on
a lynchers limb, doubtless got a part OF
what was coming to them; the other part
they will get "beyond the river", but at
that we have no patience with civilized
community that has to resort to lynching
in order to protect itself from such thugs
as were lynched by that California mob.
San Francisco had swung wide her gates
and extended an open invitation to such
murderous gangsters to flock to it's rendez-
vous in order to bring money to it's busi-
ness men. TO be sure San Francisco is get
ting the money and, from financial stand
point, she leads all other cities on the Pa
cifc Coast, but getting the money is
poor compensation for the criminal record
she is building up for herself Better by
far for city to have less money and busi-
ness, but more peace Of mind. But to re-
turn to the spirit of lynching; it is a dan.
gerous one to encourage. If the law is not
sufficiently strong to deter such gangsters
it is because those entrusted to enforce the
law are in sympathy with the gangsters and
the reason the executors Of the law are in
sympathy with such law breakers is be-
cause the supposed law enforcers are part
OF the notorious gangSters, and that even
extends to the lawyers at the bar. If it is
impossible to convict criminal in the
courts it is because the court is more or less
under the influence Of the controlling spirits
Of the community. There is altogether too
much law and too little law enforcement in
this country. The lawyer is altogether a
too-important parsonage. His modus pro.
cedure in court and the liberation of the
presiding judge with his quibblings and
hair splittings in the defense Of dirty Grim.
inals are nauseating to the lay citizens and
if the lynching Of human beings is ever ex-
cusabe it is in those communities where it's
next to impossible to convict person ac-
cused of crime, even when such person ad-
mits he did it and defantly asks and what
are you going to do about it? In Seattle
bootleggers almost brazenly practice their
profession on the streets and yet it is next
to impossible to convict them. Enforce the
law and there will be no excuse for lynch
ings.

into consideration the new woman vote.
Southern members of Congress did not
hesitate to declare, when fighting the en-.
abling resolution for submission Of the
woman suffrage amendment, that Negro
women would never be allowed to vote in
their section. If the South persists in it's
policy Of deliberate disfranchisement, it
cannot complain if it's suffers legal conse.
quences of it's course and has it's repre-.
sentation reduced in Congress and the
electoral college to accord with it's actual
vote at the polls ''-The Freeman.

The proposition that is now agi.
tating the public mind Of Seattle to force
the packing houses to move from their
present locations is nothing short of com.
mercial suicide and we venture the pre-
diction that if they are forced to move
they will move from Seattle and even if
they do not move from Seattle the plants
will be idle the balance of the winter and
thereby add another army of unemployed
to the already many woes of Seattle. No
one doubts that the packing houses have
an unpleasant odor about them, but it
seems to us that all concerned could over
come that just as they have in other cities.
in the center Of Kansas City are to be
found many large packing houses and in
