 WHEN Manvilie said l was not to w expect him to waste time with my young friends. was at first so astonished I could scarcely speak. Man vile was young himself, not 23. of course. but young enough to enjoy such bright entertaining people as were June and Alfred Cabot.

So I swallowed hard two or three times, then rushed from the room and did not reappear until I had removed the traces of my emotion.
 The next morning I called June up and told her 1 couldn't come because Manville had an engagement. I felt justified in telling the lie--he had said nothing of m engagement-because of custom and also because I did not want tn hurt June's feelings.
 'oh. I am so sorry. but you must come even if he cannot.

 "Why-no. l am afraid not. Man. vile told me he had an engagement for us.''

In this respect the authors of the laws of the state 1 have in mind are very bfoad-nninded. It is not crime to play chess, dominoes or even parchesi. But it is against the law to play solitaire. Men made this law.
 In another state it is a crime to smoke cigarettes. This law, too. as conceived and enacted by broad.minded men.
 In still another state it is against the law for men to play billiards. This law was also conceived and enacted by broad-minded men for equally broad minded men.
 In another certain state it is against the law to sell or purchase cigarettes on Sunday but in this same broad. minded state it is not against the law to smoke them. In other words, the Sabbath has been, reserved exclusively for committing, the crime covered by the statute.
 All these laws--and they are only a few specimens-were enacted by men, by men who chemically criticize wom- men as being stubborn, intolerant, nar- row-minded and lacking in complete un- derstanding.
 Obviously, the counter-indictment which I file does not involve all men. I merely draw it up in an effort to point out the extremes to which broad minded men will go in being narrow minded

WOMEN PLANNING
STUDY OF ALIENS

Vote or don't criticise," said the
new head of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs today.
There are 100000 women in that
organization, and they are urged to
vote this Fall by Mrs. John Dickin-
son Sherman of Estes Park, Colo, the
new. president, who is in Washington
arranging her two years program.
She has called the directors from
each State to meet here September %.
with less than SO per cent of the
registered voters going to the polls
at the last presidential election, the
federation sees a problem in good
citizenship that. needs answering,
Mrs. Sherman says, adding, get out
your men folks or don't criticise Cow
ernment affairs. The American fam
lily has a stake in such situation.
and the matter of voting is a duty
and not job.
What about the alien family" Does
the alien intend to become an Amer
lean citizen when he comes to this
country? What does the immigrant
do toward further cementing that
great cornerstone of this republic
the American family? What about
the native born in this regard? The
General Federation of Women'S
Clubs is going to answer that ques
ton
Urges Alien Education.
on behalf of this organization Mrs.
Sherman has placed the problem of
the American family before President
Coolidge. She suggested he appoint
an unSalaried committee to devise
and recommend on a basis of cstab-
lished facts definite methods of edu-
eating the aliens among us in our
standards of living, of absorbing
ha., int. l. "a III,
ship and of improving our naturaiiza-
ton laws.
The American people should have
available the unpublished facts to be
found in the last census Mrs. Sher-
man says. Because of the lack of
Government appropriation, many i'm
portant facts are not placed before
the public. These facts would answer
such questions concerning the fam
lily as, What is the immigrant doing?
Are his children in school? Are his
children wage earnerS? Does the i'm
migrant own his home? What answer
can the native make to these ques-
tions?
The American family controls the
future of this republic. Then, what
can be expected of the foreign born?
Just what interest does he have in
Governmental affairs? The whole bust
ness starts with the American family
The American family is the most i'm
portant business in the world and
the biggest. Therefore. one of the
big jobs of the federation will be to
get at the facts concerning it, To
this end | am urging the naming Of
an unSalaried committee of repre-
sentative citizens to get at the .facts
and recommend definite methods of
the aliens among us in our
standard of living There is less
home life in America today than ever
before Wby?"
