Uniforms for School Girls

The school authorities of Chattan-
ooga, Tennessee, have forbidden girls
to wear silk stockings, high heels,
waists of transparent material, elab-
crate coiffures, and so on, while in
school, Instead, they are required to
wear plain MILDLY suits, stockings of
cotton or wool, shoes with low heels,
and other things to match.
The action is intended not only to
promote better health but to discour-
age the spirit of snobbishness that is
becoming so pronounced in the larger
places. Here the young people from
wealthy homes take a rather cruel de-
light in lording it over the ones who
IAN not wear expensive clothes and
in humiliating them in many unpleas-
ant ways.
Such a spirit is not wholesome in
the public schools if a democracy, in
which class spirit is supposed to be
broken down. 1t is possible that some
simple uniform will ultimately be re-
quired for all public schools in Amer
lea, mainly for this reason.

SAVE BADGER
WOMAN IN Big
HOTEL FIRE

hington-Firemen carried Mrs.
B. J. Bellin, Green Bay, Wis, to safe
ty here early Sunday, when the, IA
nous old National Hotel, once the
home of Daniel Webster, was des-
troyed by fire. Two lives were lost in
the fire.
Mrs. Bellin was the only Wisconsin
person registered at the hotel. Fire
men carried her down the ladder just
before the floor on which she was
stopping collapsed. She lost most OF
her personal effects.
The National was one of the most
famous hostelries in Washington.
From the administration of Abraham
Lincoln up to about the beginning of
the Mckinley administration it was
the gathering place of Badger states
men.
(Note)-The Mrs. Bellin spoken
of in the above item is probably a
cousin of Mrs j. J. Looze in this
city. AS yet, Mrs. Looze has receiv-
ed no particulars further than what
is indicated in the above item.

America at present is sixteen-year-
old Luna Nestor, who arrived in New
York a few days ago from Japan. =
Her home was in Sir a, where
she was the sole support of her moth
er, grandmother, and little brother;
but with the terrible soviet rule, all
four faced starvation with apparent
ly no possible hope of escape.
She is a marvellous dancer, having
danced for the Gar when only ten
years of age. So the family bundled
up their few belongings and went to
a nearby town where Luna, by dane
ing, earned enough money to carry
them to the next village. There she
made money to carry them to the
next one; and so for two thousand
miles she worked their way out OF
Siberia, then through Japan, and f.
nally across the Pacific to the Won
derland of America, paying the way
of the entire family as she went. Now
their troubles are over, for she will
probably ere long become wealthy.

SALMON

Government works on this King of
Fish show some very interesting
points about which some of US, many
Of us in fact, may not be informed.
Both the Federal and State govern
ments maintain departments for the
propagation of fish, and among the
various kinds of fish the salmon, with
out doubt is one of, if not the most
important
But, what are the habits of the
salmon? How do they live? Where do
the pass their lives?
A salmon Matched in certain river
is always a salmon from that river,
though it only matches and dies there
so it is with all other salmon from
all other rivers
Eggs may be transplanted from one
river to another, but not the fish.
A salmon's life is four or FIVE years.
The little Jack salmon are just as
old as the big chinook. That is the
reason the fisheries always select the
eggs from the big ones, as like pro-
duces like and kind produces kind.
The first few months of life are
spent in fresh water but as the little
fish grows it finds its way down
stream past the cannibals of its own
race, and if successful, reaches the
Ocean where it reaches maturity in
the early spring usually of the fourth
year; it finds its way back to the
mouth of the river from which il
came and gradually works its way up
stream to the shallow waters at its
source, where the female deposits
her eggs and the life fluid also de-
posted in the water makes them
fertile beginning of another gen
Grafton. This last act of the salmon
is called spawning. Within a short
time both male and female die anc

HELPFUL
THOUGHTS
To get on in the world we must
think of ourselves in terms of
success. The way we see things
determines our fate.
Makers of Child Ideas

One of our idols has turned to clay.
Roscoe, FATTY" Arbuckle, behind the
bars, appears to be a man of a really
vicious type. Hardest of all, and
most to be lamented, is the fact that
we must learn to look upon him as a
type" for it is becoming clear that
there are very many other bad char
acters, of both sexes, playing in the
movies. Indeed, it no longer puzzles
us to know just why the screen has
been showing SO strong a tendency
of late to become lewd and obscene.
One more adjustment is required
on our parts, it seems, before our
family circles shall be made safe. We
must discern clearly how straight
and short is the road from the gilded
palaces of Hollywood to our own
hearthstones. Day by day, the loose
people who inhabit that far-away
shrine of moviedom are teaching our
children more than all our schools
and colleges.
Unquestionably the little ones take
away more ideals from a picture play
than from a lesson in arithmetic and
geography. The movies must some
how be kept as free from vice as are
the classes in our public schools.

Hollands First School Girl

DR.. Aletta Jacobs, of Holland, was
the first girl to attend a high school
in that country.
She made a demand to be allowed
to go to high school but before her
request could be granted the law of
the state had to be changed. She
fought for the change and secured it.
Recently the fftieth anniversary
of the passing of the law allowing
girls to attend high school and college
was reached No intimation had
reached DR.. Jacobs, now an aged wo-
man, that the day would be observed,
but when the day arrived, delega-
tions of girls from every college ia
Holland came to her home to pay
her homage and express their graft
tude for having blazed the trail two
generations ago. They presented her
with loads of flowers and with beau
tiful gift.
DR.. Jacobs was also the first wo-
man in Holland to enter a medical
school and again she had great
struggle. Europe was scandalized
when she announced her ambition tc
become a physician, but her father,
who was an M. D., defended her in
her struggle. For many years she
has been president of the Suffrage
Association of Holland.

Two Kinds OF COwardice

A great steamship ran upon a reef
off the Pacific coast the other day.
As she broke apart, the frantic pass
engers tried, for the most part in
vain, to save themselves by clinging
to floating wreckage.
Several persons found refuge upon
a mattress. But finding that it would
not carry so heavy load, man
strangled woman and threw her in
to the water. A youth who was look
ing on, college athlete, Mortified by
the sight, said, 'If this is the way
men act-if life is SO terrible-then
| do not want to live" He embraced
and kissed his sister, leaped into the
sea and was seen no more.
One of men was brute while the
other was chivalrous, yet it is hard
to see wherein either showed true
courage. Indeed the one seems to
have been as greatly lacking in this
respect as the other. For the mind
that is really brave and generous
seeks not merely to escape the sight
of human woe, but tries with all it's
powers to relieve it instead.

become food for the eversiacreasing
number of scavenger fish all large
rivers contain.
When going down stream in the
first few months of its life of course
the young salmon eats and it con-
tinues to eat while it inhabits the
salt waters of the various oceans,
but when it returns to the fresh
waters Of its birth, its feeding ends
and its throat closes up. The longer
fish is enroute to the spawning
grounds the poorer it becomes.
Many fishermen say that this part
of the story is not correct because
they catch these great fish with their
! fish hook caught in their mouths.

We DON'T KNOW

The chief of police of Chicago says
one-half of the policemen in that city
are booze runners or bootleggers or
engaged in some manner in the Illicit
handling of booze.
Conditions may be as loose in other
cities-but we don't know.
They may be as bad in the less pop
ulated parts of the country-but still
we don't know.
Even the man we meet on the street
may have a flask in his pocket-and
again we don't know.
Bu5 we do know that in the enforce
ment of prohibition Uncle Sam is up
against the hardest JOB of his whole
career.
It has been the boast of the proud
old gentleman that he has never yet
met defeat.
He may make good that boast in the
present case, but
Candidly, it will be long time be-
fore we ever know.

PROBLEMS OF
THE H0 ME-
And F A MIL !
A Talk With Our Wives, Mothers,
Sisters and Daughters
A Mystery of Child Mind

Our second great task in the train
ing of our children is to make their
own reason the supreme ruler, or de-
termined of their conduct. Strangely
enough, this is not achieved by the
training of their reasoning powers,
but by the planting and nurturing of
right ideals in their unfolding minds.
The reasons for this are clear. I'm
til the child's ideals are right, no a.
mount of reasoning can influence his
actions With grown-ups and child
rem alike, wrong actions spring not
from lack of power to reason, but
from ideals that are low and evil. It
follows that one of the most mement-
Gus duties of our lives is to lead our
little ones, unconsciously to them
selves, perhaps, into the voluntary,
whole hearted acceptance of high,
righteous ideals as the guiding rules,
or principles of their lives.
Now the personal acceptance Of a
noble ideal by any human being.
whether child or adult is an inner
work, which, according to the great
plan, is concealed from human eyes.
1t is the individuals own secret, and
rarely is it confded even to his clos
est friends.
Probably such acceptance never re-
suits in the case of children from
scolding, fault-fnding preaching"
or harsh treatment of any kind Ra-
Their these methods all seem actually
to set the child's mind against the
ideals that we are trying to instill.
In truth, it seems that virtually none
of the methods which grown-ups use
in the regulation of the behavior of
children can possibly result in the
actual formation of high ideals by
the little folks.
How, then, can an ideal be plant
ed in the mind Of a child so that it
will take root and grow until at
length it becomes a dominant force
in shaping his thought and action
The ways that are known, which are
few in number, will be taken up in
later articles.

Mob Protection Not Wanted

The Women's state committee of
Georgia on cooperation between the
races has issued an appeal against
mob violence.
The action is significant, as it is
by lynch law that the womanhood of
the South is supposed to be protected
from the lawless negro element
While the women appreciate the chiv-
airy of the men, they ask that in the
future, the law be allowed to take its
course in such cases, and also that
special organizations, such as the Ku
Klux Khan and the like, not be main
tanned and used for their protection.

days ago in the district court at Ce-

to ht r own husband, who is judge of
the district court.
Mrs. Anderson is the first woman
IN Iowa to serve as the foreman of
grand jury, and perhaps the first in
the United States to report the find
ings of such a jury to her own nus
band. Since the business of the grand
jury is to examine the preliminary

the resulting trials in court, it ap-
