Imagination is a magic key. Develop yours and it will un-
lock for you not only the realm of material and practical
things, but it will open wide the gate to the world OF beauty,
thus contributing to your aesthetic joy in life.
She doesn't see any farther than her nose. That is what
we say of the person who lacks Imagination. In business life
Of what value is such a person? In a mechanical, aimless, III
different manner such a type of worker performs the task that
is definitely assigned to her, no more and no less. She IS a
plodder; efficient enough as far as she goes, but she will never
go far because she lacks imagination. She never sees the pos
sibihties for the future in her job. II she is a typlst she never
pictures in her Imagination the day when she may be a private
secretary to the president of the concern. Ii she is a saleswom-
an she never dreams of the time when she may become buyer
for her department.
Lacking imagination there is no impetus, no aim in ones
work. Dream dreams and blow bubbles. Lifes greatest reall-
ties today-yesterday were some ones dreams. Imagination
multiples many times ones ambition. The strength of ones
ambition determines ones power. Cultivate your imagination.

Salads Are Most
Refreshing During
The Hot Weather
BY BERTHA L. SHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University

I remember a good dinner is
to remember a good salad" some
one has said.
What are the qualities which go
to the making of such a salad? One
rule is hat all the salad plants or
vegetables used must be crisp,
fresh and cold.
For a dinner salad a French
dressing should be used, never a
mayonnaise, unless it be a simple
dinner and the salad is to be served
as a separate course A salad of
cucumbers, tomatoes or plain let
tuce is much more appetizing if
served with the meat or fish.
Probably all salads depend more
on the seasonings than on anything
else. Three measures of oil and one
measure of vinegNg or lemon juice
is a good proportion for the average
taste. For s~easonings, salt, pepper,
mustard, paprika, sugar and a little
onion if the dressing is to be used
on vegetables or plain salad plants.
A Glove or bean of garlic left in the
dressing for several hours and re-
moved before the dressing is served
gives a flavor much to be desired.
Fruit Suggestions
For fruit salads omit the onion
and mustard. Very good combina-
tions of fruit and vegetables may
be made, such as tomatoes and pine
apple, peppers and grapefruit, cell
cry and apple, peaches and beets.
Sandwiches are rapidly growing in
favor for lunch or supper, and are
made sufficiently hardy to serve as
a main course. A meat sandwich and
a vegetable salad, with a sweet or
some fruit for dessert, make a salts
factory meal.
Slices + cheese, cold chicken, ham
or pork may be the filling. Then
toast the sandwich quickly and serve
on a plate with pickles, olives or a
lettuce, tomato or cucumber salad.
Combinations
Cold corned beef and cole-slaw,
cold tongue and sliced tomatoes, cold
pork and sliced onions, all make ex-
cellent sandwiches.
The chopped cabbage may be
mixed with mayonnaise or cooked
| dressing and the tomatoes dipped in
French dressing, If one does not care
for the mayonnaise.
Instead of toasting the sandwich,
occasionally fry it in butter, just
enough to give a golden brown color.
For "hiker's" a sandwich made OF
cold baked beans, mashed and sea-
soned with ketchup or chilli sauce,
with sliced pickles, between buttered
brown bread slices. is one which will

Female Help Wanted

temale Help
Out of the North comes a cry for
help.
A prosecuting attorney in a Wis
consin city wants a "Vamp Tanner
on his staff-and she must be a wo-
man.
Now there's a job for a modern
feminist,
The prosecutor says that he is
tired of having wives weep on his
shoulder and complain about the
home-wreckers. feminine gender.
Furthermore, he doesn't know what
to do about it, and won't some kind
lady please help him out?
This seems to be a sincere plea
for aid.
1t is a field of social uplift not as
yet extensively explored, and it
ought to be a great opportunity for
a pioneer. Methods of revenge up
on women are sometimes set forth
in the "drammer," but that IS about
as far as the proposition has gone.
These have consisted usually of
tying the lady to a railroad track,
In front of a buzz saw or, perhaps,
locking her up in an opium den from
which there is no escape.
These methods are now looked
upon az a trihe obsolete.
They would not be considered
strictly scientific by our best social
welfare experts.
No wonder the prosecutor is puz-
zled, His black and yellow and red
law books give him no light on the
matter. Blackstone is said to have
sanctioned Wife-beating, but he laid
down no remedy for ills suffered
either by husband or wife at the
hands of "the other woman"
In order to be helped we suggest

Catholic Daughters
Of South Amboy
Have Celebration

SOUTH AMBOY, June 30.-The
fourth anniversary Of Court Sancta
Maria Catholic Daughters Of Amer
lea was celebrated on Thursday night
at the Packer House, Perth Amboy,
when about ~sixty-five members Of
the local court gathered for the final
meeting before the summer months.
Rev. DR.. Z. c. Griffin. chaplain Of
the court, was the principal speaker
of the evening, and in an interesting
talk told those present what the or
ganizatIon should mean to every
Catholic woman, the charitable work
to be done and the excellent progress
made since its organization.
He then touched on the work to
be done in the future of the organ
ization when activities start again in
the fall, and asked that every mem
Der give her support and lend her
| efforts to the accomplishment of her
presidents undertakings.
Mrs. Margaret Coan, grand regent,
was the next speaker. She expressed
her gratitude for the cooperation
rendered her by the r,embers during
the year. and said hat II was
through the pulling together of the
members that this years success was
realized. She then asked the mem
bers for the continuation of their CO.
operation for the remainder of her
office.
Miss Clara Cusick, who proved
her ability as toastmistress of the
banquet, and who was highly respon-
sible for several of the social af-
fairs conducted by the local court,
at this time presented the Grand
Regent with a beautiful boquet of
carnations and maiden fern.
Other brief addresses were made
by District Deputy Mrs. Mary White,
of Perth Amboy. and Court Cores
pondent, Mrs. Sarah Powers.
Miss Helen Dooling, chairman OF
entertainment, is deserving of I'm
limited credit for the manner in
which the various activities through
out the year were conducted. II
was under Miss Dooling's leadership
that many of the entertainments
and social affairs of the court were
put over"
To the chairman of the banquet
Miss Eulalia Mcclure, the entire
court owe their sincere gratitude
for the splendid success realized a

I can do anything l want to do be-
cause of my mother.
MY mother was married when
she was very young and then she
committed the objectionable sin
in Japan-of having six daughters.
As she looked about upon the other
women over there she made up her
mind that her daughters should
never be like that-that the should
have freedom and a chance to
choose their own husbands.
"All alone she came TO America.
And although she didn't find the
freedom she had pictured, still she
persisted until she could send for
US. Then she ir/uced my father to
come too.
Now one of my sisters is a grad
uate of a college of pharmacy, a

NEW YORK-An exposition
ing the activities of women in every
state in the union is now being
planned and engineered by a wo-
man, Mrs. Eli s5eth Sears.
Her ideal, however, is something
far broader than merely a CONNER
cial exhibition of the textiles, ma
chinery, electrical appliances sid
artistic efforts of women, though
these will all be represented.
MY aim is to make this a real
milestone of progress, she explains.
"A vision of what women can ac-
complish in any field and what they
can do TO instil ideals of business in
tegrity in the younger generation.
Women had to go out of home
to go into business and the profess
sions, but they took with them the
spirit of their homes. They're hui
manized business and stamped their
own achievements with their par
ticular personalities. The world is
going TO be surprised = what they
have done.
When it was suggested to me that
such an exhibition as we are plan
ming had never been manaPed before
by a woman, l thought it would be
a very good time Tor a Woman TO
break into it, and make this an all
woman enterprise.
I'VE are accepting exhibitions and
selling space only to firms run by
women, or those with women execu-
tives in important positions. Ny end
of the work is pure pleasure because
business women are the easiest peo-
pie in the world to get along with.
If everyone were only as square as
the business woman"
The exhibition will be held in New
York at the Commodore Hotel, the
week of September 2t. 1t is under
the auspices of the League of Be-i-
ness and Professional Women. with
branches in all parts of the United
States q well as in Hawaii, China
and South America. The last joiner
was none other than Queen Marie
of Rumania who prides herself on
being a business woman as well as
a queen.
I'm undertaking this, I see the ad-
visibility of an international EXPOSE
ton of women's activities. and that
may be our next activity Mrs.
Sears concludes.

ASK SUGAR-COFFEE
EXCHANGE CLOSING
U. S. Would Force Reorgani-
zation Within Law, in Su-
preme Court Brief.

The governments efforts to close
the New York Coffee and Sugar EX-
cbanpe and the New York Coffee and
Sugar Clearing Association for viola
tion of the Sherman antitrust law
and the tariff act of 1913 were con-
timed Yesterday, when Attorney Gen
oral Daugherty filed in the Supreme
Court a brief in the case decided
against the government in the fed
eral district court in New York city.
The case is set for argument in the
Sunreme Court November ~.
Alleging that the exchange and the
CLEARING association constitute con-
sniracy in restraint of interstate and
foreign commerce in raw and renned
sugar, the government asked the
court to enjoln all transactions upon
the exchange. This II stated, would
have the effect Cf closing the eX-
change, but would result in no mate
~ial Inconvenience because another
exchange would be Immediately or
ganized which would comply with the
law.
exchange the government would have
it require both the exchange and the
clearing association to bring their
practices within the federal laws. To
do that the brief insisted, the eX-
change must permit, the delivery of
sugar and modify its rules and regu-
lationS so as to prohibit transactions
except by the owner or grower of
sugar or one owning or renting land
upon which it is produced or by rep
resentatives of such pers" ms.
The government would have the de-
cree drawn. however. so as to permit
all so-called Legitimate hedging upon
the exchange"
