ND IN Fight
AGAINST REDS


Ailouez council. knights o
fOiumbus. pledged its aid and co
operation to the government OF tn
United States In the fight to sup
press bolshevism in all its forms ],
resolutions framed at last night
meeting.
The resolutions were prepared b.
. committee composed OF Thoma'
+. Sinnett, Joseph P. Kelly am
Jchn Roach. Copies are to be sen
tc the president Of the Unite
States, the governor Of Illinois AM
10 representatives in the state an
national legislatures.
The resolutions in full follows
Whereas. It is with grave
anxiety and concern that we,
Knights OF Columbus and citi-
zens OF this great American re-
public, view the spread Of such
doctrines as bolshevism, CON-
munism, socialism and kindred
teachings whose aim is to de-
stroy American institutions and
government.
Whereas, We regard the dis
semination Of such doctrines
as an organized effort not only
to destroy the existing govern
ment and all government, but
also as an attempt to uproot
Christ and His teachings as the
controlling force in our life
and conduct.
And Whereas, We look upon
these agitators and their per-
nicious, doctrines as being in
imical to the interests of re-
ligion, society and state and
rs working to destroy the fun
damental principles of govern
ment guaranteeing life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
Now, therefore. Be 1t resolved
by the Knights of Columbus Of
Allouez council, that we extend
our aid and cooperation to our
government in the organized
effort 1t is now putting forth to
curb and to suppress those
radicals and agitators bent
upon the destruction of our in
situations and government.
Be it further resolved, That
we recommend to our lawmak-
ers. both national and state,
that the necessary laws and
legislation be enacted to the
end that the constitutional
rights of freedom of speech and
Of tho press shall not become
cloak and subterfuge for
those radicals and fanatics who
would have liberty and freedom
spell license and the orderly
processes OF our government
spell anarchy and chaos.
Be it further resolved, That
this council enlarge its activi-
ties by offering to the public
course of instructions upon
our laws, history and govern
ment, in order to combat the
spread of these pernicious doc
trines.
\ Be 1t further resolved. That

Believes in British
Sense of HumOr

Marion Green, the American Bari
tone, who sings the title role in Mon
sieur Beaucaire," is an ardent defend
er of the British sense of humor as
compared with the American.
He stepped into the role of Beau
caire' without any stage experience,
one which has been played by Richard
Mansfield and Louis Waller. He
made his first appearance in London
before appearing in his native coun-
try. He was singing in the New York
Oratorio society when Gilbert Miller
came to New York from London
about Is months ago, and someone
suggested that Green be given a trial.
He was impressed by his voice and
presence and promptly decided to
place him in the title role, although
he was then without dramatic expert,
ence.
Mr.. Green compliments the British
audiences upon their keen sense OF
humor that proves them good sports
for many of the jokes in the operetta
are aimed at them.

WHISPERS

Why is it that ones state of mind
Seems based on how the boards de
signed?
The man who daily reaps his bristles
Distinguishes the figs from thistles;
He is an ordinary dub
Who daily takes a morning tub,
Eats, reads, does what his business
bids,
And loves his country, wife and kids.
Whereas the guy who sports a blushe
Most generally runs to mush.
Il speak now of the common rule
Not every bush conceals a food.
1t seems the cobwebs on his jaw
Means cobwebs as his ruling law;
The lace wherewith his chin's be
digit
Shuts out the air and dim S the light
A hirsute ambush he provides
For fakes and frauds and freaks and
snides.
Suppose those Reds who rant and rave
And-who knows-might do lots OF
good,
When caught were teated to a shavel
Twould break the mattress brother
hood.

REGARDED Them as Human
Other Women Said: "Say, Butcher Boy" Etc

"All right, Johnnie, l will try put
ting them in the oven. Thank Mr..
Summers for not risking being late
with them, anyway"
Her Simple Method
When the hostess returned to he1
guest she was greeted with an out
bust
See here, Mrs. you've been in
this town only two years and have
lived here seven, yet you know all
these people by name, and | daresay
know their family history, and they're
turning themselves upside down to
please you. What have you done to
them all?"
The lovable woman laughed mer
rily, then answered with a puzzled
look:
well, l don't believe / know, I'M
less it is trying to realize that they
in personality. 1 always learn a per-
sons name and everything l can about
them to help them bring their peron
atty to the surface instead of helping
to swamp it, When you stop to con-
slider it, marketing really is personal
affair between you, the clerks and the
delivery men, the firm only figures il.
the background"
How true this woman'a reasoning
was and is. For it is the clerks and
| the boys who count for our veal or
woe. Distances may be trying for de-
livery men in the suburbs, but wha:
think you of the endless dumb waiter
ropes of the city that stretch their
misunderstanding length between the
delivery basket and the fiat kitchen
from which THANK you" or name
never floats down? Conditions are
ripe for reform along these lines,
and the wise woman who takes this
lesson to heart may benefit by quick,
kindly service from her tradespeople
never before secured, saving wear and
tear of nerves and increasing com
fort for all concerned.

Bits of News from
South America

OF the 27S0 members OF the Buenos
Aires Association 24OO are Latins.
In answer to the direct appeal of
the students themselves, a student
division of the Y. NJ. C. A. has been
organized in Rio de Janelro.
Twelve men attended the Sac Paulo,
Brazil, evening classes of 1917, 146
in 1918, $50 in 1919. Indeed the at
tendance was limited only by thehope-
lessly inadequate condition of the
building, and by lack of trained teach
erS.
The Y. M. c. A. in Rio de Janeiro
has bought a splendid site and is
planning to start, at an early date,
work on new building.
Uruguay is so enthusiastic over the
playground idea, that there are today
nineteen Fairgrounds in operation,
fifteen in process of construction and
nine more planned. Since trained
leadership has not kept pace with this
rapid development many Of them are
without leaders. The call to train
men who can take charge of and sue
cessfully conduct this work is one of
the great challenges to the Y. NJ G. A.

Exciting Moments

"The Sleeping Lion" enc of Mon
roe Salisbury's latest Universal sue
cesses, afforded the star his mos
thrilling moment before the camera.
The production required that man
resembling the star be lashed to the
back of crazed horse, to ride the
dreaded "mazeppa" of the plains.
The mazeppa was a custom of the
old west whereby man was tied to
a horse, face up, and forced to ride
the pitching animal until the man
died or the horse fell exhausted.
The Universal director took the en-
tire Salisbury company to the desert
near Newhall, California. Salisbury
sat in the shade of giant cactus and
waited for the scene in which he was
to play. He saw man being lashed
to the back of horse.
whats that?" he asked.
That's your double, who is going
to ride the mazeppa," answered the
director.
HE may be my double" Salisbury
said, but he's not going to ride the
mazeppa. l wouldn't let anyone ride
the mazeppa on my account"
Who's going to do it?' the aston
ished director asked.
why, I'll do it," the star answered
and he did.
The horse plunged like a row boat
in the trough of a rough sea. He
jumped in the air and CAME down linn
Der; then he jumped and came down
stiff. 1t was enough to break the neck
of the average man.
The result of Salisbury's determin-
alton to ride the dreaded mazeppa
was several closeup views of the star
which are seen in 1.-THE Sleeping
Lion" incidentally he sustained a
sprained back.

Giant African Snail

A valuable addition made recently
to one of London's famous ZOOS was
a collection of giant snails, many of
them measuring as much as eight
inches. These snails came from East
Africa and had they remained longer
they probably would have been eaten
by the natives. Both the snail and
it's egg are considered delicacies in
that far-off land. The egg of this
snail is so large it is often mistaken
for a pigeons egg.

BY MARY KING
Unjust Suspicious

Few girls realize the seriousness
of casting the suspicion Of dishonesty
upon others. If girls in offices and
shops realized the harm that invari-
ably follows their thoughtless accusa-
tions or innendoes, l am sure they
would take greater care and refrain
from indulging in such an unjust prac-
tice
The incident described in the fol-
lowing letter reveals the harm that
almost inevitably is bound to arise
when such a situation is created
either through thoughtessness or
malice:
Dear Miss King: An unfortunate
experience in our office prompts Ehis
letter to you in the hope that it is
used in your column and that it might
have the effect of preventing unhappi-
ness in similar circumstances.
There are about twenty girls and
two Office boys employed here. One
of the girls in the office has rather
excitable disposition, and is continu-
ally alarming with some wild tale
which on investigation usually de-
velops into the most commonplace
occurrence.
Hardly a day passes that doesn't
bring some exciting adventure to her.
The younger girls listen with awe
and admiration, but some of the older
and more experienced girls pay scant
heed to her extravagant stories.
"The other day about the middle
of the afternoon, Miss M. startled
everybody in the office by eXclaiming,
Somebody has taken S. out of my
purse. l had it when I came back
from lunch, and it's gone now, SO
somebody in the office must have tax
en- it. Did anybody see Johnnie at
my desk while l was up in the wash
room while ago.?
johnnie is one of the office boys,
and this was said in a loud voice for
everybody to hear.
1.-THE woman in charge of the Office
called Miss M. TO her desk ana ques-
toned her carefully about the posi-
bility of having mislaid the money or

of losing it outside. She was empha-
tic about not having touched the
money since she returned from lunch
and equally positive that she had it
when she came in. She turned the
the coin purse which she carrier in
her bag inside out for inspection
THE woman in charge told her that
she would make a thorough investiga-
cation and asked her to leave the mat
ter in her hands.
shortly afterwards one of the girls
told her that she had seen Johnnie
near her desk, but she didn't see him
touch anything.
"'That settles it; l know that boy
took it, she exclaimed, and without
another word went into the office of
the boss and demanded that the boy
give up the money or that he be fired.
Johnnie was put through a severe
grilling, but came through all right,
as the boss told Miss M. that he be-
lieved the boy was perfectly honest
and hadn't taken the money
Miss NJ. sulked after that and the
other girls in the office then recalled
strange and suspicious actions of
Johnnie on several occasions, and one
of the girls said that she had dis
trusted him long ago and wasn't a
bit surprised when the money disap-
peared, and so ,un until you would
believe that poor little Johnnie was a
regular criminal.
"The next morning Miss M. con-
fided to one of the girls that she
found the lost SIS bill folded between
the leaves of little memorandum
book which she carried in her bag
and finally recalled having placed it
there.
"She refused to tell the boss and
and asked her confident not to tell
anybody, as it would make her appear
ridiculous The other girl wouldn' t
promise, but said as everyone in the
Office was under suspicion she thought
it her duty to the woman in charge.
1.-THE matter has all blown over
now, but Johnnie isn't the happy little
| fellow he was, and | know that in
spite of the fact that he was entirely
cleared of dishonesty, the girls do not
trust him, and they let him see that
| they don't"

How would you like TO answer to
the call of Say, butcher boy, baker,
ice man or milk man" ard so on, all
your life when you have perfectly
good name of your own? Yet this is
what happens to tradespeople who
are as nameless to most of us as
posts. If mistake is made in our
order and they are called back it is
usually by their farm name, almost
never their own.
A suburban housewife, to whom all
servitors were nameless, was asked
to spend the afternoon and to dine
with woman whom all the neigh
bors loved, yet no one could tell just
why. AS they sat knitting step
sounded on the back porch. Excusing
herself the hostess went to investi-
gate. A little of her conversation fill
tered in through the half-closed door.
Good afternoon, Mr.. Stevens. How
tempting the wagon looks today. 1
know without asking that you have
saved fine bluefish for me-"
Yes, ma'am, have, and a fine fish
roe, too, though everyone was asking
for them on the way up he an
nounced with merry chuckle.
Returning to her friend the woman
said:
"Mr. Stevens is so kind and accom-
modating, especially when he knows
am going to have company"
"a new fisherman?" asked he guest
ooh, no! Mr. Stevens, the same
have always had since l came here.
Their Own Names
A glance through the sash curtains
revealed to the questioner the wagon
of her own fisherman, who had never
troubled much about pleasing her
when she had deigned to trade with
him, though here he had come to be
invested not only with name but
with reputation for thoughtfulness.

Hello, Edward, what brings you
uptown again."
Grapefruit and tomatoes, ma'am.
Mr.. Jones said you were so disap-
pointed this morning that when these
came up on the 800 he sent me flying
up with them, and hopes they amt
too late"
The voices trailed off in the dis
lance with Don't forget to thank Mr.
Jones for his thoughtfulness, Edward,
and thank you for hurrylng them up
to me-"
Another glance through the curtains
and the guest could hardly believe
her eyes-there was her own grocery
boy actually tipping his hat, and he
had also acquired name of his own.
She kept her own counsel until the
third knock, which proved the last
straw
well, Johnnie, you are early"
Eyes ma'am, but Mr.. Summers told
me to tell you to put the rolls in the
oven, right in the bag for nve minutes
and they would be like fresh, for he
had to send me up on the hill, and
was afraid | would be pack too late.

H00s HonD NOTES
THE DANDlNEss OF DANDELIoNs
AS Spring Tonic They Really Know
No Equal in These Latitudes

One of the first sights of early
spring in any suburban district is the
thrifty Italian women digging up the
tender young dandelion plants, which
| they take home and prepare in a
number of appetizing ways.
Until one has eaten crisp dande
lion salad on warm day, or enjoyed
them boiled with bit of bacon OF
salt pork the, average American does
not realize how pleasantly both food
and medicinal tonic can be com
bined.
To prepare a dandelion salad, use
the very tender, inner leaves. Place
them when washed in a large pan OF
very cold water and let them soak
for at least an hour or two. Then
dry as for lettuce. Arrange in a
chilled salad bowl that has been
rubbed over with cut Glove or garlic
sprinkle with chopped hard-boiled egg
and moisten with French dressing,
to which has been added a table
spoonful of tomato catsup.
DandeIion Soup
A dandelion soup is decided nov
city and when rightly made is equal
to the finest spinach PURGE. Cook two
quarts of the green's DIS for boiled
greens and when tender drain, chop
and press through a sieve. Dilute
this to the desired consistency with a
thin seasoned cream sauce. Add
extra salt and paprika, a few drops of
lemon juice, two tablespoonfuis of
stiffly whipped cream and one chop
ped hard boiled egg. Reheat to the
boiling point before serving.
Boiled Greens
For boiled dandelion green's the
outer or coarser leaves can be used.
Trim, wash and put them on to cool.
in a very small quantity of actively
boiling water. Add little salt to
the water and cook uncovered as for
spinach or cabbage. Boil rapidly for
Is minutes. Drain, chop finely and
season to taste with salt, paprika and
a little melted bacon dripping. Serve
like spinach with sliced or chopped
hard eggs as a garnish.
A bit of ham, salt pork or bacon
may be cooked with the green's; this
gives them delicious flavor and but
ter will be required for seasoning. If
the meat is used, add few drops of
lemon juice when chopping the vege-
table.
A Sandwich
Chopped crisp dandelion mixed with
butter is delicious as sandwich to
serve with afternoon tel and for q
late supper sandwich it is unexcelled
when blended with cream cheese and
a little French mustard.

Famous Oaks

There are two oaks on the State
road to Sudbury, Mass, that saw
George Washington pass to take com
mand of the Continental army at Cam
bridge. These oaks were made
famous by Longfellow in his Tales of
a Wayside Inn," says the American
Forestry Magazine One oak is Is
feet IL inches in circumference and
the other is II feet, inches in circum-
ference The oaks have now reached
across the road to meet each other.
An age of thousand years is claimed
for them.

The housewife who makes her own
beds will be interested to learn that
it is possible to make bed without
walking around to tuck in each cover
On both sides and yet have a smooth.
well-made bed. If each cover is laid
on smoothly, they can all be in place
before any tucking is done, so that
the person making the bed need not
move from the side on which she
starts until she has all the covers on
and has tucked them in smoothly on
that side. Then is time enough to
walk around the bed and pulling the
covers perfectly smooth, tuck them in
all at once on the other side. They
stay in just as well, the bed looks
just as good and the housewife saves
time and energy.

EMBROIDERED TRlcoLETTE
BLoUsEs MOMENTS FAD

They are exceedingly soft and
graceful. and when handsomely en-
broidered are very rich affairs. The
usual style is a straight and. simple
slip-on, which falls in fiat lines at
back and front and Grapes at the
waistline or little below into a
soft sash or girdle. The first models
had long sleeves, but as the season
advances, sleeves grow shorter. Just
below the elbow is a safe length to
decide on. There are plouses with
very short sleeves, showing the elbow,
but these are unbecoming to most
arms that the average woman will
prefer just-over-the-elbow length
for summer blouses and frocks.

POETRY WON'T BUY SHOES

Lord Dunsany gives the poet pre-

FASHION NOTES
INTERESTING Items for the Fair Sex
SPRING HATS ARE
VERY ATTRACTIVE

A great many of the spring hats
are trimmed with flowers, tiny, var
igated posies massed close together
around the crown. Ard the gay
wreath of color is yelled with weird
fiounce of iace that stands up in
front of the flowers.
Smart little hats of this type are
elongated in line, with rather low
crown and slightly sloping brim no
more than two inches wide. The brim
is faced with a color that matches
the dominant hue in the flower
wreath. These little hats look we'll
with face wells and are worn by older
women as well as by youthful ones.

HOW TO PROTECT
CHILDREN'S SHOES

Children's shoes may be made to
wear longer by putting small
amount of melted beeswax around
the sole where it joins the upper part
of the shoe. The tips will be pro-
tected by a thin coating of the bees
wax, which in addition to saving wear,
helps to make the shoes waterproof.
