STREET CAR
MISSED THEM
p. e. O.'s Almost Have Their Outing
Spoiled When Regular Passenger
Passes Them up at HamiI-
ton Last Night.

In the words of an old song, ''They
saw the car go round the curve,
good-by street car, good-by."
This was something of the feeling
that thirty-six P. +. O.'s had last
night when they were left calmly be-
hind at the Hamilton junction station
by the regular interurban car.
The members of the society and a
few husbands went over to Hamilton
in a special car and paid round trip
fares, according to the members. They
were coming down the road from the
place where the Hamilton car stops
as the regular Warsaw car pulled out
of the Hamilton station, and sped
calmly on to KeolSuk.
A lawyer in the party collected
the round trip fare receipts, and the
party climbed on board the T., P.
& w. train and came home.
The bridge over which the Hamil-
ton street car passes is being re-
placed by modern structure and
this necessitates stopping the Hamil-
ton car about three blocks from the
junction and passengers have to walk
the short intervening distance. It
was while covering this that the
party saw the street car they were
trying to catch go by.

for the annual seal sale now, being
made under the direction Of T. j.

ton.
/ The health seal has been a regular
feature of the holiday season in Iowa
lproximately 100000 seals were sold

With the proceeds of last years sale
extensive health work is being done
lin the state this year. including the
forwarding of modern health crusade,
the making Of public health surveys
in various counties, employment of
public health nurses, holding OF tu-
iberculosis clinics, child welfare work
of various descriptions.
Red Cross Gives UP Sale.
In past years the seal sale has been
conducted jointly by the American
Red Cross and the National TJlberc1-
losis association. This year the Red
Cross has consented to forego the seal
sale and has given over this field OF
activity entirely to the tuberculosis
association.
Under the plans adopted, local pub
lie welfare organizations have an OPP
portunity to finance their home acti-
vities through the seal sales, only a
modest percentage of the proceeds
being turned over to the state aSso-
citation for purposes OF supervision.
Not a Drive
The 1920 sale will not partake OF
the nature of a drive, and large pur-
chases will not be solicited from indi-
viduals. It is hoped, however, through
cooperation of women's clubs, local
public welfare organizations and like
agencies to place the stickers on sale
in every community of the state, and
to reach an average sale of ten seals

NO WOMEN CLOWNS.
Fair Sex Revolts at Making Up to
Look Ridiculous.

The New York Evening Mail asked a
famous clown now with circus why it
is that there are no women clowns, since
they seem to have taken up everything
else in their efforts to make living. His
answer was to the effect that women win
not make themselves look ridiculous.
Take man clown, for instance" he
said; ''he doesn't care how funny you
dress him or how foolish you make him
look, because men, as rule, haven t
natural vanity. But give a woman ri
diculous costume and make her paint
her face in red and white cheeks, put
on a false set of feet seven sizes too
large, and what have you? A lady
clown? No-a resignation"
Then he goes on to say that women
haven't a sense of humor when the joke
is directed against themselves. They
