OLD.TEuE SALOON.

DO YOU ever rause in the great prohibition desert
and conjure up a picture Of the saloons that -four

All that's left OF those ancient whisky dens is the
path in the sidewalk worn by the tramp OF drunk
ards feet as they made their rounds. tapping up so
much they were ashamed to drink it all in one
place.
Prominent among the customers was the business
man who ran in at the stroke of every hour for a
highbau or small glass Of water with large whisky
straight for chaser.
By o'clock at night, the regulars were well
tanked and below the din was the friends apology:
Don't mind him. he's swell follow when he isn't
drunk"
The owl cars carried them home-to mothers and
wives who sobbed quietly in the stiffness Of night.
There was considerable prfvation in the average
hard drinkers home. short funds because Of the
barroom tilrs greedy appetite.

and horne-builder A fathers greatest fear that
his son would "get the appetite"

THE RILEY HOSPITAL.

memorial TO James whitcomb Riley could take
more fitting form than the proposed hospital for
children.
Riley loved all children and his poems will
read by children as long as language carries mes
sage to the human heart
His was heart that beat in sympathy with their
troubles. that sad with their woes and happy
in their trumphs and his works echoed the gay and
innocent laughter of their joys.
The citizens who have determined to erect a per-
manent tribute to the memory of the great Hoosier
decided wisely when they proposed an institution
which would the health. the lives and the
futures of the unfortunate children of the state.
Riley would have builded such institution had
he turned his thoughts to money instead of poetry
for his heart completely in sympathy with
childhood that childish distress panied him.
The plan now devised calls for contributions from
those who wish 10 have part in the raising OF
this memorial which will put into actually the
kindness and care of children which Riley sang to
the world
The governor and other prominent citizens will
soon make an appeal TO all citizens to participate
Let it be hoped that those who have found an
inspiration in the works of this will be
liberal with their gifts they have been helred
and aided by his message.

THE SONG SPARROW.
Half an ounce of feathers,
Half an ounce of bird.
A fluffy mite of brown and white
And just a touch OF gray
In all sorts Of weathers
Passing round the word
At dusk and dawn that Witer's gone
And Spring is on the way.
Wee prophetic wizard.
Buneting the blast
The while ne shakes the lacy flakes
of tiny whirrins wings.
Well ne knows the blizzard

And in the lee of yonder tree
He sings and sings and sings,
Ere the sun has risen,
or its earliest ray
Beams OF high across the sky,
He pipes his pure delight.
Nothing can Smprson
That ecstatic lay
That bids all men be glad again
For everything's al. right,
April showers scorning,

Always there is morning

And Cor me thereu always be

THE GLAD GIRL.


4 Figure in Popular Literature.
This child Of curious tendencies
To your acquaintance add.
Her smile is permanent. for she's
The gladdest of the glad.
Come battle famine, food. or FIRE
The cherry little one
Accepts il as her hearts desire,
And says, Amt we got fun?"
The Joy Of living fills her cup;
OF hope, she's never rid
Imagine how she'd brighten UP
Your household-God forbid.
The bitter ills her fortunes send
She sprinkles smiles galore on;
It seems to me our little friend
Is something of a moron.
But If I had her authors pelf.
I'm sure that I'd be glad myself.

WOMEN LAUNCH
LUNCHEON CLUB
Luncheon Organization Hopes to
Secure Miss Kelly for Its
Organization Meeting.

Steps toward organization of a
business and professional women'a
club in Rock Island were taken last
night at dinner meeting of rep
resentatiye business women of the
city IN the Y. w. c. A.
Miss Claire Van Calder, a mem
Der of the state board, arranged
the meeting and the club is now
assured. Forty women attended
this first gathering and will be-
come charter members of the club.
The list, however, will be kept open
for sometime, until a larger mem
bership is secured
Following the dinner Miss Van
Calder explained the purposes of
the club and told of its rapid
growth since the national fedora
ton was formed three years ago.
1t now has membership of $4,000
women. The club is non-sectarian,
non-partisan and self-supporting.
The larger clubs exist i'll the east,
although the middle-west is taking
up the movement and already there
are thriving clubs in many of the
larger cities. Illinois cities make
a good showing, having completed
the formation of numerous groups
since the state federation was &C
complished in Elgin less than a
year ago. Like Rotary and kiwanis
club membership for men, business
and professional women's club
membership entities the holders to
privileges of club houses, employ
ment lists and directories, rest and
information bureaus in any city
where clubs exist
The local organization will be
completed at the next meeting,
which may be a called session next
week. Miss Lola Kelly, Denver,
Colo, first vice president of the
federation, is TO be in this commu-
nifty, and an effort is being made
to re-route her itinerary to include
Rock Island She will be in Au-
rora Monday and in Peoria Tues
day. At this session the members
Of the newly organized Davenport
club and the Moline Business Wom-
ems council will be guests.
Miss Van Calder presided last
evening and the constitution COM
mittee named included Miss Jose
phine Peard, Miss Ollie SmutZ and
Miss Mango Osterman. A nomi
mating committee will be named in
few days. Dues for the first year
will be SO, which will include 81
for the national organization and
% cents for state dues. The state
meeting will be held April IA, Is
and Is in Springfield, and it is
planned to have delegates and re-
ports sent to the convention.
Assisting Miss Van Calder in the
preparatory plans for the club were
Mrs. F. E. Marshall, Miss Agnes,
Abrahamson, Miss Ruth Weltmand
and Miss Elizabeth Bryan.

a point which would make them
Notwithstanding" within the mean
ing of the constitutional amend
ment
The advocates of the beer tax,
however, approach the subject from
the viewpoint of conformity with
the 18th amendment. The constitu-
ton forbids the manufacture of in
toxicating beverages" The supreme
court of the United States has de-
cided that congress has the power
to determine what per cent of al
cohol may be included in beverage
without making it intoxicating. The
Volstead law says one-half of l per
cent shall be the limit though most
members of congress will admit
that if the alcoholic contents were
increase two or even two and three
quarters per cent, the beverage
would still be notwithstanding.
Amend VOIstead Act.
To get money enough to pay the
soldier bonus, it would require a
simple resolution of congress of
about fifty words amending the Vol
stead act so as to permit 2.75 per
cent beer and the revenue laws
could also be amended so as to put
a tax of 20 cents a gallon on the
beverage. The whole thing would
be a simple procedure if the pro-
hibition forces did not have as tight
a hold on members of congress as
to cause the latter to hesitate. But
the danger of punishment by an
aroused soldier vote is not easily
swept aside either. And many of
the soldiers are as resentful about
the passage of prohibition amend
ment to the constitution while they
were absent in France as they are
about any single thing which con-
gress has done. To pay the soldiers
a bonus and give them at the same
time a beverage of Notwithstanding
alcoholic content would admittedly
be solution devoutly to be wished
for, politically speaking, if it were
not for the potential power of the
anti-beer forces who have in the
past been strong enough to compel
congress to deny beer to the sick as
we'll as the healthy. Whether the
anti-beer elements could win in a
fight against the soldier bonus in
duence is quite another story, the
answer TO which can only be given
after soldier opinion has expressed
itself directly to congress.

TANKS USED BY

HAD USED Them
zAcetyIene Burners At Eagles Hall
Taken From Car Company Dec.
I2-Loss May Be $780,.

James Wright, secretary Of Rock
Island aerie, No. $50, Eagles, stated
today that losses in money and ne
gotiable checks taken by yeggs
from two safes and a '-poor" box in
the lodge rooms between IL o'clock
Sunday night and 8 o'clock Monday
morning, would amount to about
$500. The loss was first estimated
at $815
Mr.. Wright was unable to say how
much of the loss was in cash, but
stated that il Is hoped that by to-
night exact figures will be had to
show just how much cash was on
hand and also the amount OF the
checks on which banks have been
warned to stop payment. 1t Is be-
-lieyed that some of these checks
may have been cashed before warn
ing was given. That the thieves ex-
-pected to cash the checks is indi-
Gated by the fact that they passed
up all unsigned checks, taking
only those fully made out.
The police have learned that the
two 200-pound acetylene tanks
fund in the building were stolen
Dec. II from the Tri-City Railway
company. The tanks were taken
from Forty-fourth street and Sew
enth avenue, where they had been
used in welding rails.
Say Tanks Were Used.
Yesterday is was reported that
the tanks had not been used, but
the police said today that the tanks
had been in use, and that the job
was an expert one. The acetylene
burners had been used on the doors
of both safes and the expansion. by
the heat is said to have expanded
the steel about the lock bolt so that
Z the bolt was much easier to punch
out, and, with less noise.
