And opened wide the golden gate.

Light and Shadows On an Ohio Farm

From Ohio comes a tory which gives
an insight into what modern convent
noes have come to mean in the farm
home.
A certain farm house in Montgomery
County, Ohio, was almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire short time ago. The
house was of brick, roomy and sub
stantially built as most oId-fashioned
farm houses are. Thick stout walls ana
good workmanship are probably what
saved the house from being destroyed,
but as it was, nothing much but the
four walls were left standing. The
house is being remodeled now with
some enlargements and conside rable
changes as to interior arrangement.
The owner is seeing to it in this rebuild
ing that the new house will have
all modern conveniences
Among such conveniences is, OF
course, electric service. The owner
had electricity in the old house, the
electric plant being installed in the
basement In fire which destroyed
everything inside the walls the plant.w vas
of course ruined. Fortunately there
was new garage on the place a short
distance from the house and the fami-
~ was forced to move into this gar
age temporarily. The first thing the
farmer did on the morning after the
fire was to cali up the men who had
sold him his electric plant and order
another one. Before night the new
plant was III and the family was enjoying
the convenience of electric light des-
pite the fact they had no home to live
in. The pumping system which sup
piled the old house and little distance
from it and was not destroyed in the
fire, so that it was an easy matter TO
pipe the water into the garage. This
pumping system was also operated by
electricity so that as soon as the pump
ing was completed, the family was en-
jJying running water in the garage just
as they had in the house.
This experience goes to snow the ex-
tent to which the fam family becomes
attached to modern conveniences-
This particular family has found that
electric light and running water have
made life in their present rather crowded
living quarters much more comfortable
and it is certain that they wal make
the fullest possible use Of electricity in
their new home when it is c mp!eted

The woman's Club of NJ Mellwood District


There are signs of interest from
every direction, as to the nature Of this
newest club Of the numerous clubs OF
Women in the State of Maryland. 1t
shows plainly, that women everywhere
are waking to the great opportunity
that is before them TO take the need
of today, and make them into the sue
cesses of tomorrow, by the proper I'M
derstanding OF the possibilities that
are in even the most humble and un-
noticed situations. The least of these
shall be the greatest of Stomorrow, if
we go into the understanding of things
with an open mind, and the deIermina-
tion TO wiring suc.:e-s cut of what has
always been regarded as drudgery.
The granting of the franchise to wo
men has put a new Interpretation
on the adjustment of the laws--this
calls for a better understanding of the
laws-and the needs of our weaker sis
ters who must still be taught not to
break laws, by the penalties of those
same infractions. The department of
'Civics'' will have for its work this
proper adjustment.
The trouble with domestic service
today opens the necessity Of full un
derstandipg of the properties of food
and its relation to the nourishment of
the body This is not as it was in the
days of our mothers and grandmoth-
ers; consequently. we must have the
light of today on this department of
the proper part in the work of the
home keeper The w oman's Club of
Mellwood District has a department of
Home Economics, where lectures will
teach the way to take the same food,
and SO prepare it, that saving of
labor and money shall result. The
needs of this present time show the
necessity of vitamines in the food in
order to have that proper nourishment
that makes the home happy one-for
a properly nourished body is a happy
body. What are vttGmanes? This will
be taught in the Woman's Club of
Mellwood District-in lectures, open
to any earnest minded woman.
The need of relaxation, both. of body
and mind, is found in few minutes
reading, or even the glancing over one
of the magazines. This is better than
medicine, in many ways, and calls for
no doctors bill. The Club will have a
good library, and on its tables will be
found the principal magazines, in this
way giving a member the benefit of
the offering of all thinking women, for
this is what the magazine of today
really is.
These are but a few of the many
things that are for Us to do. In all Of
it we seek to act always in a kindly
way, calling to US those who feel the
great urge to serve; that is the fore
runner of this day in which we live, !
whether we realize this or not mo
man liveth to himself, and no man
dieth to himself, is plan statement
of an everyday fact. This Woman
Club of Mellwood District, club of
earnest minded women, has been called
into existence by the needs of life in
the making. There is in it place for
any woman who wishes to take her
place in the forward movement of to-
day. 1t is not necessary for the wom-
an to be resident of Mellwood Dis
trict-it is necessary only that the
Club exists to serve as her mental
home. Ithas happened to come into
existence in Mellwood District.

WATER ON Af(fR
 SECOND BREAK

Water began running in the city mains about o'clock this afternoon, ofter having been entirely off through out last night. A second break in the supply line between the reservoir and Gleason was responsible for the ab- sence of water service today. Repairs of main which burst Tuesday night had just been completed yesterday af- ternoon and pumping resumed when another section of wooden pipe, several hundred yards distant from the first place, gave away, and the pumps had to be shut down again. Owing to darkness it was impossible to locate the break last night, but force of men went to work early this morning and completed the repairs shortly after noon.
 Supt. E. V. Leverett said this after noon that the consumers are exhibit ing great patience in the circumstances and few complaints have been made. The newly-appointed board of com missioners of the district organized to reconstruct the water system has been making plans and obtaining esti- mates for the work. It is found that prices of iron pipe are still at their highest peak, although the manufac- turers frankly state that reductions will be made early next year. In view of this fact and the present condition of the money market making it inn possible to dispose of bond issues ex- cept at a great sacrifice, the com missioners, while continuing to pre- pare plans, are awaiting a more fa- vorable time to begin reconstruction work
 Mr. Leverett said he had about de- cided to employ an additional bumper and run a single pump day and night hereafter. By using two pumps one employe can serve the station and pump sufficient water in daylight hours for 24 hours consumption, but the superintendent believes the two pumps put an additional strain on the supply mains and they would not be so likely to break when only single pump is used.

Belgium's Recovery
From War Rapid,
Says Loan Envoy
Francqui, Here Seeking u. S.
Financial Aid, Asserts
Coal Production Is Now
Ahead of 1913 Record

Emile Francqui, president Of the
Societe Generate Of Belgium, who, with
Florimond Hankar, is seeking to get
new loan for Belgium in this coun-
try, tells an optimistic story of his
country's economic recovery.
Belgium is making rapid strides in
ment made public yesterday. "Alrcady
her collieries are not only up to but
little ahead Of their 1913 output. Spe-
fcally they are producing 1o3 per cent.
Before the war Belgium received an
nually 100000 tons of coal for in
dustrial purposes from Germany. By
the terms of the treaty, Germany is
required to furnish coal to Belgium,
but SO far Germany has not been able
to do this, or at least she has not, but
when the coal begins to come and the
remaining factories are repaired. the
Belgian industrial position will again
be up to normal. This should be by
December, 1920.
"Conditions with us are more favor
able than in those countries where
there is greatly lessened output of
coal and very slow progress in in
dustrial rehabilitation. In Belgium we
are moving rapidly. The reason for
this is our laborers are not Bolsheviki,
Iucy are iOJ dndICNlStS, CHey are not
radicals-they are workers. We can
rely on them right up to the opportu-
nifty afforded them.
Our socialists are as loyal nation
ally as are our conservatives. In this
situation Belgium has an asset of in
comparable value. The strength and the
credit of nation rest upon the quail
ity Of its individuals. On this basis,
where in history has there been a
finer exhibition of stability than that
in Belgium since the armistice?
"The result of all this is the daily
increase of our commercial movement
Our exports to Holland, France, Italy
and Germany surpass our imports.
With England the balance has been
practically reached 1t is only with
countries such as the United States,
Canada and the Argentine, where we
are purchasing our food requirements.
that the commercial balance is still
against US.
But although Belgium is nearly on
her feet and has reentered the class O.,
desirable commercial associates, she
still has need of the financial assist
ance Of the United States little while
longer"
