at is time for US to stop dying
early" said Grand Medical Examiner
G. w. P. Johnson of Tampa, "and this
can be done if we will just observe the
laws of health, take proper rest. "You
cannot dance all night, work all day
and keep up. Our women must stop
the kissing habit. which is a common
carrier of disease. Learn how to
shake hands and express yourself in
that style. We have had TO reject too
many this year. Let US make COM

Protect our children. Give every child
the right to be born strong and
healthy"
Calanthe Inez T. Austin of Tampa,
grand royal matron of the Order of
Eastern Star, and supreme represen-
tative, spoke. But a real common
sense, homespun address was deliver
ed by Calanthe H. G. Andrews. the
wife of the grand chancellor. She
spoke against children gadding about
the streets at night, and condemned
in strong language the dance hall,
which she declared had cast down
many. There is entirely too much
freedom for our young people. and
too many mothers neglect their chill
dren while they are trying to play
young. You must save your children
or God will punish you"

 Fortunately for this particular work ing mother, as well as several others
 sharing her predicament. something has been done just recently here in New York. A Working Monthers' Co- operative Home club has been opened at 60 West Ninety-second street, where mothers may live at a reason able boarding rate with their children. and leave them in the care of trained specialists while they away at work. Whife the idea was borrowed from a somewhat similar enterprise, cago. this New York club has many special features which make is unique among institutions caring for children.
 For one thing, while it is now strug- gling to it's feet with the aid of philan thropy, it is designed to be self sup porting after little while, and it's prices are sufficiently high to make it necessary for the mothers who patron ize it to be in receipt of fairly large salaries. The club charges a minimum rate of s15 week for room and board for a mother and one child. with additional sum of S7 week for each additional child. For the best rooms in the house s2O a week per mother and child is charged.
 Widows, deserted wives, and di- vorcees with their children are admit ted to the club. The only stipula tions made by the philanthropic manage ment are that the mothers be self sup porting. and without families to help them raise their children. The club is essentially for young self-supporting mothers. who are alone in the world and who would in all likelihood have to place their children in institutions were it not for the opportunities thus offered them.
 The clubhouse is an attractive resi- dence building containing 70 rooms, all pleasingly decorated with cheerful ere tonnes and generously perfumed with bowls of spring flowers. The first floor, with the exception of a comfort able living room and reception hall for the mothers. is devoted to play rooms for the children In one bright. sunshiny room the smaller tots work hard over lovely, complicated games under the direction of trained workers from the Federation for Child Study and the Ethical Culture society. In another equally bright room the older learn their lessons. some of them studying singing at this tender age from a we'll known singing teacher in New York.
 Mothers and children breakfast to- gether, and at any time when mothers are home they have the entire respon- sibility of their offsprings. but during the day the club takes charge. The themselves are taught to be extra ordinarily helf-reiiant. and they do their small part to maintain the cooperative spirit of the place.

1t happened rather oddly that the
day Bill Cumming went away dis
covered the monument. After all, that
day was quite like a Barrie play so
humorous and pathetically sweet that
1t left one feeling like laughing and
crying at the same time.
Bill was the first boy from Ridge
field to enlist in 1917, when his coun-
try called on her sons, and he was
going into camp at Mantle Conn. In
an American household from Scotland,
such as this is, of course the "meenis-
ter" came TO supper that Sunday
night That was as inevitable as quo
tations from Burns poems at table for
Burns IS a hero here. just as Roose-
Welt and Joffre are.
Everybody talked a great deal and
ate little. The minister told of how
a descendant of Hannah Dutton, that
heroine dear to the hearts Of ali young
readers of history, had helped serve
meals In Rhode Island summer ho-
tel where he had spent his vacation.
Bin talked about automobiles.
Then the time came for him to go
He had said beforehand that he want
ed to take his bag to the station
alone. He had seen the departure of
his company from the Bridgeport ar
mory the day before, and he saw that
a farewell cannot be too quiet.
Just as he went Off the veranda the
minister took his hand. God bless
you, BILL" he said, very low, but we
all heard it. And it made the moment
a little more solemn than we could
have liked. There was a mist in Bill's
eyes for moment. But nobody no
ticed that any more than they did how
his mother went into the house very
suddenly. However, those who under
stand viii understand all about how
this was.
Just then l set out for the post of
fee For those who love rustic air
and the mild monotony of the night
insects songs few walks afford more
quiet delight than the saunter down
for the evening mail. 1t is broad
thoroughfare arched with naples
whose leaves are silver In the moon
light. You may meet some townsman
you know, perhaps, a driver OF some
delivery automobile, and he will pass
with you staccato greeting. Smooth,
flowing conversation seems somehow
out of place at this time Of day.

Until five years ago the battle of
Ridgefeld was unmarked and existed
only on one of the seldom-looked-at
pages In the histories though the an

Miss Mary Olcott reckoned where to

When this battle was fought most
Of the men Of military age were away

generals. They had no home guard
such as parade in full rig about the

of the six hundred were men seeking

he was then popular hero and he
directed the principal defense against
the British.
