Women Interested
TOWner-Sterling
GENERAL FEDERATION OF WO-
MEMS CLUBS HELPING EDU-
CATION IN UNITED STATES.

Mrs. Edward Franklin White, chair.
man of legilation of the General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs and assist
ant attorney general Of Indiana, calls
attention to the fact that the United
States Government now spends four
times as much per head on the cattle,
horses, sheep and hogs Of the country
as it spends per capita on it's school
children, and that the women Of the
General Federation feel that the chill
dren should at least be on a par with
fish, hens and hogs.
They are much concerned over the
critical situation Of the Towner-Ster-
ling bill which provides for a Depart
ment of Education with a Secretary
in the Cabinet and for federal aid to
the states in the promotion of educa-
ton, including the training of teach
ers, the teaching of adults, vocational
training, and assisting in payment of
teachers salaries.
Some twenty amendments offered
to this bill in the last Congress have
been incorporated in the new bill in
troduced in the Sixty-seventh Con-
gress. It rests now in the committee
on the reorganization Of departments,
where it is being considered with an
other bill for Department of Public
Welfare, in which education will have
only part. The wemen of the Fed
Grafton feel that it should not be sub
ordinated to other departments and
should be dignifed by separate place
in the Cabinet, as is done in other
with a trained educator at
the head.
Mrs. White asks all club women to
write at once to Hon. Walter F.
Brown, Winder Building, Bureau of
18th Street N. W., Wash.
ington, D. c., chairman of the COM
mittee on reorganization of depart
ments, concerning their stand on the
bill.-Capital News Service.

stiff fights on for seats in the senate
and house, as many as five candidates
having filed for these honors in some
districts.-M Minneapolis Journal.

St. James Ladies
Enjoyed Visit Here

st. James women are loud in their
praise of the entertainment given the
women of the Second District at their
convention last week at Redwood
Falls. From the time they arrived
until they left that city, every minute
of their time had been carefully
planned. The keys of the city were
in their hands, the homes cordially
opened to them, and they came away
satisfied that the convention had
been success.
/ The outstanding things of the con-
vention according to the delegates
from ST. James were:
The splendid spirit of friendship
and sociability on the part Of the 140
delegates and many more visitors
who were at Redwood Falls. No
better bunch of women exists in Min
nesota according to the state officers
than those who gathered there. The
personnel of these women was out
standing. The cooperative spirit
and harmony in which they did
things was noticeable, and drew the
hearty commentator of Mrs. j. E.
Rounds, state president.
The vital subjects discussed by the
women, shows that they are exerting
a powerful influence on the great
questions of the day.
The delegates had anticipated a
great time on account of the beauties
of Redwood Falls, and the character
of the women. Three federated clubs
are located there and they did not
disappoint the visitors. They did
everything in their power to make
things pleasant for them.

Returning to Sanity
Az music is dying out.

Jazz music is dying out.
Jungle dancing is being discarded.
People are learning to live within
their means.
There is less attempt by the poor to
ape the ways of the rich.
A lot of the chip, hip, hurrah" stuff
is being thrown into the discard.
Labor is no longer being sneered
at, and the "sweat of thy brow" is
once again considered honorable.
These are certain indications that
the American people are returning to
sanity after period Of hectic life,
and that all is again well with the

Law ENFORCER
!. BREAKS The Law !
STATE AUTOMOBILE LICENSE
INSPECTOR LANDS IN
COUNTY JAIL.

VIM. Martin of St. Paul, special auto
license inspector, got himself into
trouble by his oficiousness while in
New Ulms last week.
John Regelin Of Summit avenue
has an old REQ which has reached such
a ripe old age that it is retired.
The children have been using it for
playhouse, it is said. Mr.. Martin
saw in3this old car aschance to make
use. Of his law enforcing powers:
Sells Car for $500.
Martin threatened ,Regelin with ar
rest. for not. having q license on the
old REQ and induced RegeIn to turn
over the old machine, whereupon the
state law enforcer seld it to the
Kretsch Auto Co. for the princely
sum Of $500, putting the money! in his
own pocket without making report to
his department as to his nethod of
enforcing the law: Part efsthe deal
was that Kretsch was to take the in
.spector to Searles without further
charge. The old REQ was evidently
not worth much when, including livery
to Searles, the inspector received only
$500.
Police Arrest Inspector.
The inspector also told Mr.. Kretsch
not to- mention anything about the
"'sale''.of the, old REQ SO that Police
Chief .Harnening would get to know
about it. This aroused the suspicious
Of Mr.. Kretsch, who did tell the Chief,
who drove to Searles and brought
Martin back. s
The inspector then weakened con
siderably, admitted that he was wrong,
paid back the $500 to Kretsch, paid
all costs, in connection with his arrest
and was released. The last heard Of,
he was back in St. Paul, probably a
wiser and better man. So the Regelin
children got their playhouse back again,

WORTHY WIFE OF HUN CHIEF
AttiIs, the "scourge of God" Had
Devoted Helpmeet and Adviser In
His consort Helga.

Attila the Hun was a thoroughly
house-trained husband. Helga. the
beautiful Morse wife of Attila. was a
fitting mate to this barbaric warrior.
Amazonian in figure, gigantic in
strength, she accompanied him on all
his raids. She acted as Attila's aide
lie camp, his secretary and his chief
of staff. She planned the campaigns
that led to his ascendency over most
of the civilized world For all her
daring and strength, however she
was still a woman 1t had been At
tila's custom to carry off the women OF
the yanquished tribes, but Helga put
an end to this, giving as her reason
that the women impeded their prog
ress Her real motive, it is believed.
was fear that she might lose her
sovereign position. SO il became the
custom instead, to kill the women.
Another example of her feminine
instinct was the trouble she went TO
for the sake of her beauty. On all
their travels she caused to be brought
along a drove of asses, so that she
might have her daily bath in their
milk.
Helga was as courageous in death
as she was in life. After the unsuc-
cessful campaign at Chalons, when
Attila was stopped by the Franks and
the Romans, the Scourge determined
to die rather than face defeat, He
built a funeral pyre and was about TO
climb upon it when Helga approached.
"My lord" she said, why do YOU
not die as you mete out death to
others? Behold, 1t does not hurt"
And plunging her dagger into her
heart she fell dead at his feet
Attlla did not follow her example,
neither did he fling himself on the
funeral pyre. He gathered new
courage, and lived to fight again.

Fireworks IN History.

The business of making fireworks
and the business of setting Off elabo-
rate displays are sometimes called
the art of pyrotechny," the word 'py-
rotechny" being compounded Of two
Greek words meaning fire art" There
is an extensive literature on the sub
ject
References may be found In the
writings of Nautilus and Nesplcus to
the fact that fireworks were set of in
connection with the circus In ancient
Rome, and Claudianus, who wrote In
the Fourth century, mentions "whirl-
ing wheels and fountains of fire in
connection with the celebration of Ger
tain festivals, Fireworks, and which
should not be COMPOUNDED with mere
bonfires, were set off as spectacles and
ceremonies during the reign of Henry
VII, Henry VIII, Elizabeth and other
English monarchs. In those early
English days dragons spouting fire
were popular form Of fireworks. In
a book written on the subject in 1913
there is a reference to trees and
fountains Of fire sent high up into
the air"

Old Krook.

Krook Is the name of a rather prom
inent but most uncanny character in
Dickens novel, BLEAK House, which
has much to do with the then dilat0ry
procedure Of the Court Of Chancery.
The system Dickens describes ceased
to exist many years.
Krook Is the proprietor of rag and
bone warehouse, where everything
seems to be bought and nothing sold.
He is a grasping drunkard. who even
tually dies of spontaneous combustion,
that is, he Is 50 saturated with liquor
that he takes fire and is consumed.
In note to this chapter of Bleak
House" Dickens cites a case Of spon-
taneous combustion that took place
In Paris. France, and which, he said,
was well verified by medical authority.
1t was probably from that case that
Dickens obtained the idea which he
made use Of In describing BROOKS won
derful death.
