FAR FROM THE Millennium
Charity Organizations Have Not YET
Solved Problem Which Is Old
az the Human Race.

Lawson Purdy, the secretary of the
Charity Organization society, said al
a dinner In New York:
1.-THE millennium hasn't come yet by
any means. A policeman one cold De-
cember night of rain and sleet was
walking his beat on the East side
when he came upon a shivering, Ill
clad urchin trying to sleep on the
steps of a warehouse. The policeman
reused him up and told him to 60
home.
"T amt got no home said the boy,
"'Where's your fatherT
"tJava-he's a sailor
"'Well, where's your mother, them
"'She's in JAIL
''The policeman took his little, cold
hand.
".Anyhow, you can't sleep out here
he said. You'd be frozen to death
Suppose you come along with me-
"The boy went along with the Pc
liceman willingly. v e eagerly.
"'You're goin' to put me In jail

"'Oh, no; don't think about jail;
the policeman answered.
"'They said you'd put me in JAIL
said the little boy, If you caught me
sleeping in the street.
"The policeman made no reply
They walked on for q while in silence
Finally they came to a builders red
lantern.

said the little boy, would you put me
in Jail then, sirT
ayes, probably said the policeman,
but don't you go talking about steal

there's a nice warm fire and some hoi

"But If I steal the lantern, then
you'll put me In Jail, won't you? And
the urchin reached out his tiny, cold
fist and actually lifted the Lantern
from Is hook.
"'Put that back growled the pc
liceman. Jail, indeed! What do yor
want to go to Jail for?'

Mrs. Gerard Livezey, scoutmistress
of the girl scouts, appeared before the
commissioners to ask permission to
build a cabin for the use of the mem
bers of this organization on the public
park between Oak and Pine avenues,
West of the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks. The request was granted with
the understanding that, technically
speaking, the commissioners have no
right to do so, but are willing to try
to accommodate the scouts, tempo
rarily. How long these buildings may
be permitted to remain in this park is
uncertain the mayor cautioned, ard
admonished the petitioner that the
times to the public, and that no adj
mission fees may be charged for any
entertainments given in any building
on this park.
In a statement to the public, last
week, the new mayor of Wildwood let
it be known that he and his fellow
commissioners were not influenced or
swayed in taking the strong stand they
did against gambling games, by any
outside criticism; and he referred spe-
ciically to a publication in the
Bridgton Daily Pioneer, under date of
Friday, August Goth. Here is what
the Pioneer had to say on that &C.
casion:
"Rotarians discuss reports of their
Ill --4..xs-- - aUN----
sion,-" the report of the club meeting
continued, sit was evident that the
club here will continue it's interest in
the Boy Scout movement, school ath-
letic, public health work and other
like activities. 1t was stated by one
the Rotation should be to provide
against present temptations for the
boys. He referred to the prevailing
spirit of petty gambling and the fact
that everyone seemed to be taking a
chance. He urged that there should
be some respect shown for the Sabbath
and that there should be no wide-open
business Sunday in Bridgeton. He
said that last Sunday he was in Wild
wood and was amazed at the gambling
and chance devices which are operated
there. Almost every business place
along the boardwalk, he said, was OPP
Grating some kind of a chance game,
and certainly the example was serious
from the viewpoint of a boy or girl
who was starting out in life.
Another member of the club said
that Wildwood was positively dis
graceful and was now being conducted
upon a more wide-open basis than
Coney Island ever wasi"
1t is a good thing sometimes Ito see
oursel's as ithsrs see u.s.; and it is
to be hoped that this. terrible excoria-
ton by the Bridgeton Rotarians will
brace up any weakened persons who
may hesitate to back UP our city COM
missioners in the heroic stand they
have taken against the gambling
menace.

THOUGHTS on thinking.

Men Of great attainments have often
been troubled with mental or physi-
cal ailments, but too wide an inference
should not be drawn from this. Those
who have never endured tOothache
cannot describe suffering. One who
is unmoved by the loss Of a collar
stud is not fitted to picture passion;
II his blood is cold he lacks artistic
temperament and the portrayal of hope
and fear, to say nothing Of all con-
Tuming anger, is not for him.

while Herbert Calhoun's stiff-necked
pride fought a losing fight with the
fascination of the beautiful, competent

prejudices that are about as hard to

TIRED BUSINESS MAN ENJOYING BEAUTY OF THE
PLACID MENOMONEE.
THE MENOMONRE RIVER

The Menomonee river, which slow
ly meanders through our beautiful
city, was at one time one of Wiscon-
sins most beautiful streams, carrying
the Indians in their birch bark canoes
to Milwaukee and other trading posts
and abounding with black bass. pick
erel and many other varieties of fish
In later years the county of Milwau-
kee decided to build a few county
buildings and chose the land SUIT
rounding our city as the best on which
to locate.
AT the present time the old Menon-
once is still used for carrying puT-
poses, but instead of the picturesque
canoes, Indians, etc. sewage, filth and
stencil is sent on its merry way re-
gardless of where it lands or where
it goes. A whole lot of it seems to
make the supreme sacrifice under the
West Main street bridge, where ii
sends forth its gas fumes and en-
deavors to stifle all passersby.
No effort seems to be made to stop
this dumping of sewage in the river
by any of our county officials, all
though a new septic tank has been
built to take care of the sewage from
the county buildings. Whether or not
this will stop this dangerous nuisance
remains to be seen.
If it does not, our citizens should
see that this unfair practice is stopped
at once. We all have the interests
of Wauwatosa at heart and this idea
of scum and filth all along the river
and alongside our brand new park is
or ought to be thing of by-gone days.
We could have a beautiful place,
with a pool for the children, as well
as grown-ups, to go wading or swim
ming, with little or. no expense. Let's
get together NOW and clean her up
The cartoon pictures our idea of the
river at the present time.

cannot fully possess this knowledge
unless we know something of the
mosaic of the past-out of which has
developed world conditions as they are
today
A love of good pictures, good music
and good literature is the first right
of everyone and the opportunity for
a clear comprehensive understanding
of these arts has come to Wauwatosa

State superintendent of public en-
ployment for Wisconsin is the official
title of Miss Mary Hulburt, daughter
of the Rev. and Mrs. d. w. Hulburt of
this city. Miss Hulburt is the only
woman who has held this position.
Upon her graduation from the Uni
versity of Chicago. Miss Hulburt en-
tered the teaching profession. For 10
years she taught in various high
schools.
II enjoyed my work." she says, "but
felt that the bigger opportunities
were outside the teaching profession
and that l had reached time when
would have 20 make a change.
AS I didn't have specialized train

what l wanted TO do, but / was inter
ested in people and accepted a posi-
ton as employment manager with the

As employment manager it was Miss
Hulburt's task to hire and discharge
all employees, a position which she
filled successfully and efficiently until
she left Niagara to come to the Uni
versity of Wisconsin for technical
training in the field of economies.
While studying at the university she
was offered an opportunity to work
with the industrial commission part
time for six weeks and was more than
glad of the chance to study the em-
ployment problem from the states
point of view. When Mr. Miller, the
director of the public employment di-
vision. resigned the commission asked
Miss Hulburt to take the work
Asked about opportunities for wo-
men in this work, Miss Hulburt re-
piled:
There is no reason why a woman
with training and the proper back
ground cannot hold such a position.
One who enters the work should have
executive ability, a knowledge of the
fundamentals of labor movements, a
large share of tact, likable person
ality so she can meet men of various
types without antagonizlng then, and
diplomacy so as TO be able 60 keep

hope they will see the light ere long

KEARNEY-TRECKER BAND
ENTERTAINS

The second concert Arranged by the
Wauwatosa Community Band Concert
Committee was given last Monday eve
ming by the Kearney-Trecker band un-
der the direction of o. Kessler.
This concert brought out a very
large number of our citizens who came
with the knowledge that they could
spend very pleasant evening, and
they were not disappointed, for this
band surely has made reputation
as musicians.
The band handled all the music in
fine style, playing with a whole lot
of pep and understanding of the score.
The Chimes of Normandy, Poet and
Peasant and Forest Whispers being
exceptionally well done. 1t is hoped
our citizens can again hear this band
before the close of the season.
Mr.. Frank Eggert, baritone, added
to the pleasant evening with several
well rendered songs. Sunset, by Dud-
ley Burk, being one of the best.
The children we're very quiet dur
ing the first half of the concert, but
they got restless the latter part and
were hard to keep still, They should
either be kept from running around
during concert numbers or taken home
bg their parents. It is very unpleas-
ant for those who come to hear this
music to be annoyed by children run
ming about and parents are requested
to keep them in tow,
Remember "The Big GET-TO-
GETHER Night" at Greysteae Park

advisement and may include this fea-
ture in one or two of the later con-
certs If deemed advisable, but will not
