GIRL SAVES
MOTHERS LIFE

Fate played a part in saving Mrs.
Victoria Gillich, SO years old, from
death by asphyxiation last week.
She quarreled with her husband Just
about the time the session of school,
which her daughter, Miss Irene Gil
Itch, 16 years old, attended, was over.
The husband left home in anger
after the quarrel.
Mrs. Gillich, becoming melancholy,
entered the kitchen of her home at
$40 Elmira street, locked the door,
turned on all of the jets on the gas
stove, and then lay on the floor to
await death.
Fifteen minutes later her daughter
returned from school. There was
no response to her knocking and she
became suspicious. All the doors
were locked, as well as the gate, and
all was silent within. To the girl
il was an ominous silence. She
knew her mother had no reason for
going out.
Through a bath room window the
girl crawled. AS she gained the In
side a strong odor of gas nauseated
her. The kitchen door was locked
Miss Gillich became desperate. That
door stood between her mother and
| salvation. Death lurked beyond
With an almost superhuman effort
the girl hurled herself against the
panel and the lock gave way.
A burst of gas fumes almost over
powered her as the door swung. open
She saw the form of her nrothe
stretched on the floor. The gas al
most stified her, but the girl did no
falter for a moment. Into the gas
filled room the girl plunged. 1
moment later she emerged, dragging
her mothers body along. Miss Gil
Itch placed her mother on the rea
porch and then called for help. Mrs
Gillich was unconscious when Patro
men Harvey and Pourciau arrive
and gave her first aid treatment
She had been somewhat resuscitate
when the Charity Hospital ambl
lance arrived.

jazz Dance Becoming
A Menace
(Contributed)

Where are the games that marked !
the times of long ago, in your days
when in your youth you enjoyed
game of "hiding-go-seek." Those were
the days of happy childhood. when
the atmosphere surrounding life was
sweet and pure. Don't you remem-
Der the times when one could walk
along our public streets and see the
happy little children merrily engaged
in the above mentioned game in the
days gone by?
Time has changed since then, and
most little boys and girls are not
given the privilege to share in the
pleasures OF childhood that the boys
and girls of yesterday enjoyed.
What is the cause? What has hap
pened? My dear girls and boys, 1t
is the deplorable jazz dance that is
causing the change in your lives.
Little boys and girls are taken from
the arms of their mothers and taught
the lessons that will eventually lead
them to ruination and destruction.
/ 1t has become so vulgar, undermin-
| ing and disgraceful that the boys
/ themselves are raising their voices
| in protest Young men are ashamed
| to bring their lady friends to dances,
while those boys who have sisters
are crying to stamp it out.
Mothers and fathers-I mean the
true, clean, honorable mothers and
fathers-what are you going to do
about it? Remember, the future OF
your girls and boys is at stake. Do
YOU know the latest step in the
world of jazz? Well, it is termed
cherry picking" which is not even
popular in the underworld, but it is
popular in a community where re-
spectacle people are supposed to
dwell, where civilization exists-the
town of Algiers.
Mothers and fathers, the pros
perity of every country depends not
on the abundance of its revenues
nor on the strength Of its FORTH
cations, nor on the beauty of its
public buildings, but II consists in
the number of it's cultivated men
and women, who form the foundation
of every nation.
1t is time for the organizations
who believe in purity, cleanliness
and morality to rise and fight this
; evil that has suddenly overtaken oul
youth.
Mothers, it is time to ek you
daughter that she shall not go t
) dances until the atmosphere sur
rounding them becomes moral.
Girls are the mothers Of tomor
o row. Mothers, would you have you
d little girls go through with the thing
e required of her to keep the moderl
a race? Really, would you? Do 80,
e know that the sweetest heritage
s mother can leave her child is tn
= knowledge of that which is swee
,. and good?
I pity that poor child who live
and knows it's mother had lived
dishonored life.
The sweetest force in all the worl
% is the force of a mothers influence
r. 1t works and grows stronger lon
n after she is dead. 1t is a force tina
" never dies, if her life was good an
n pure. Mothers and fathers, let
# make the next generation safe b
N fighting this evil.

ION, Pete" or you, Pete"
At the right time of year Pete want
ed Christmas tree, so he went to the
woods to get it. Selecting mountain
ash tree, he was about to cut it down,
when flock Of starlings disputed with
him, claiming it as their Christmas tree
and all its bright berries as their. own.
Then he considered nut tree, but the
squirrels were furious and wanted to
know where their Christmas would be
If he took it. So the boy concluded
that no one else would want the ever
green tree, with nothing on it but
cones, and took that.
Rejecting, however, that his tree did
not seem likely to have anything on
it worth while, Peter remembered

was now going to let them have them.
. The first of the three gifts was a
small box, all done up in tissue paper.
When Dorothy had taken off the paper
and undone the box there was another
little box, and when she opened this
box there was another. little box in
that, then there was another little
box, then there was another little box,
then there was another little box, then
there was another little box; and so

third gift was taken down and pre-
scented to Peter. 1t was only note,
,all done up in an envelope, but it
helped him to see why the party had
made him happier than he had been
when he was all alone with his tree,
for he could not only read the note,
but also the sweet meaning when it
.said:
All trees are Christmas trees that bear
!: The care of love and love Of care.
! To cultivate a Christmas tree
Plant it in love and let it be.
! Gold for misfortune it will keep,
Light in the darkness it will give,
: It's truth will blossom while you sleep,
Its happy kindness while you live.

'woodsman had meant when he told
him about cultivating trees.

so wonderful a surprise would be as
happy thing for him as it had been
for her; but she could think Of nothing
better, so that the Christmas celebra-
,tion began to Seem like failure. Mr..
:Oadwalader, however, had a sugges.
;tion to make. He said that he thought
that the tree had not been cultivated
enough, and that if Peter would invite
some Of his young friends in he
Thought they might get good deal Of
pleasure out of things even yet.
When the little company had assem-

placed on the tree there was merry
time over the games that he knew
how to play, and a wondering when
he disappeared into the hallway, prom.
Using to come back all dressed up In a

that were left on the tree and see
what they were and who they were
for.
They hardly knew the jolly man
who came back, after a little, all in
red, with white whiskers and paper
:snowfakes in his hair and on his coat,
as though he had come in out of a
snow storm. Little Dorothy Avery, the
smallest of them all, jumped up and
leaned on her crutch as she exclaimed:
IT know him, he's a friend of mine,"
mistaking him for Santa Claus, but
the older ones did not correct her mis-
take.

little speech and wished them a merry
day and began to take off the three
