1uence TO large degree, the near future
thought Of clubwomen everywhere.
The Wilmington delegates TO the con-
vention represent As no other two women
possibly could, at this moment, the earnest
purpose OF Delaware club-women. Mrs.
4. u. Warner. past president OF the
Delaware Federation of Womens Ciui's
is widely known as one OF the best posted
club women in the United States. Mrs
Warmers even, thorough treatment OF
matters within her jurisdiction, has made
for a high appraisal OF her value to the
Federation on the part of the clubs at
large Always lust and cear-sighted,
with an initiative talent for construction,
Mrs. Warmers administration as presl-
dent of the Delaware Federation wns
marked by wonderful growth In club unity

weary hours in the canteen huts OF tho
A. f. F. in France, during the war, serv-
ing thousands of cups OF hot chocolate
and coffee. and sandwiches TO American
douchboys on leave, or dancing eight
hours n dsv an evening on hard cement
floors in order that home sick soldiers
might know American women were with
them in winning the war. Every State
federation of clubs sent one or more
representatives of this army of girls, and

sol diers.

APPETITE AND A BOY.

"A Teller gets reel hungry about break.
fast-time, you know.
Cause there amt been any eatin' for
a dozen hours or so,
So l pile out Of bed and throw some
water on my face
And as soon as ma calls Ready"
I'm a sittin' in my place.
1 eat some fruit and APPLE sauce and
breakfast-food and mush,
Some cocoa and some eggs-on-toast
and oh. a lot of slush,
And then ! top off with the best of
anything ma makes
A half a dozen griddles-full of buck
wheat batter cakes.
But by the time l get to school I'm
all so joggled down;
Ny stomach Is as empty as the
emptiest in town
The mornin's awful long (exceptin'
recess with the bunch)
And l come racin' home at noon to be
in time for lunch.
eat some soup and crackers and an
other bowl or two,
And then l eat some salad and an
omelette or stew.
And then ma brings hunk to me
the best thing that she makes.
One of those shaggy. creamy. nelly
cocoa-nut layer-cakes.
I'VE get out early afternoons and
have some time to play.
And though you'd think that ought
to be the best time Of the day,
4 Teller can't enjoy II, even while he's
having fun.
A wonderin' all the time IL dinner ever
will be done.
And when it's ready, then I eat until
my insides hurt.
But save a place just big enough to
take in mas dessert,
Cause that's the best thing that she
does. Yes. sir, / hope 1 die
Ii ever you eat anything to beat her
custard pie.
81 get along all right. until it's almost
\ time for bed
And then | have a feelin, for bowl
of milk and bread.
Ma says AN empty stomach causes
any boy distress,
II he has to sleep upon Il, and she
knows. you better guess!
It's long. long time till breakfast
and she says 1t isn't right
For a boy to lie there suffer In with
an in-grown appetite,
And so she brings an apple, and she
brings-my gracious sakes!
A heapin' plate of doughnutsl they're
best things that she makesr'

Folks and Things
Around Washington
Labert St. Clair.

Any mistaken notion that anyone
had prior to II month ago that
William Jennings Bryan was dead
was rapidly dissipated here at
the recent Democratic conference.
Bryan may or may not be able to
get votes. but he certainly has a
way of breaking into the news
papers.
II by any chance Bryan should
obtain the next Democratic nomina
ton, the country would see some
Old sights in campaigning that
would stand out in contrast to some
of the campaigns that the country
has seen In the last eight years
For Bryan certainly can make more
speeches in given space of time
than any man in public life. An old
politician in discussing him recent
ly said that he once was with him
on tour when Bryan made eighty
speeches in two days. One of the
strange things about Bryan is that
he can eat full meal and arise
frCm the table to speak for an hour
"ithouI lCtlihS SIlentbSI Ill Ell
fects. He also can lie down and
sleep at any time. 1t is his custom
when campaigning to sleep between
stops of his special train even
though the stops be not more than
five minutes apart.
In the good old days of pork bills
for river and harbor Improvement
in Congress. Representative Lang
ley, of kentucky, was known as
one of the most ardent waterways
enthusiasts in the House. Now
however, he has switched his allie
glance to good roads and for this
reason he is called Turnpike John
Langley got his change of heart
as result of an experience he had
with the big Sandy River down in
Kentucky. For many years Lang
ley pleaded long and valiantly the
dry cause of the Big Sandy. He
pointed out in many a speech that
il the Big Sandy were dredged its
banks would be crowded with COM
merce and the country adjoining
the stream would blossom with
prosperity. At last Langley OBJ
tained a juicy appropriation for the
Big Sandy and a dredging outfit
was sent to the navigable waters of
it and advised to work northward
until the appropriation ran out.
Never before in history, perhaps.
did a dredge have such as terrible
time clearing a stream. After many
weeks of hard work the dredge
seemingly finished the job and the
man in charge telegraphed Ito Gin
cinnati for further ORDERS He was
advised to turn around, float down
the stream and return to Cincinnati
With some difficulty he managed to
turn around but that was as far as
he was able to advance withou,
digging himself out. For. during
the time that the dredge had stood
at the source of the Big Sandy
awaiting orders from Cincinnati,
mot only all the sand that had been
dredged out, but a whole lot more
had sifted back into the river bed
1t required several weeks for the
dredge to dig its way back to the
point where II entered the stream.
The story soon got out and Lang
ley, like wise statesman. abandoned
his regular plea for improvement OF
the Big Sandy and went after good
roads hard. Folks say that IL the Big
Sandy project is left alone long
enough some day the entire bed OF
the stream will fill up and Langley
can begin to advocate the construc-
ton Of Big Sandy highway down the
course that the stream used to follow.
