Mrs. r. L. J.: 1t is entirely un'

without waking at all, providing his

vegetabl just when you feel like

Hospital Requirements.
Very often l am asked as to the
requirements necessary when a
mother is to be confined in a hos
pital. Every hospital has its own
rules. Some want little or nothing
for the child during its stay there,
and only the mothers own toilet
articles, gowns, kimono and slippers.
Others want. the baby's f1annels and
nothing else. When one has decided
upon a hospital IT is wise to make a
visit there, talk to some one in
charge, pick out the type of room one
desires and ask just what this hos.
pital requires. This is far better tina n
trying to guess.

LABOR IS OPPOSED
TO TOBACCO TAX

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 16.-The Central
Trades and Labor Union has voted to
oppose Governor Bakers plan to
place a tax on tobacco sales for state
school purposes and will send repre-
sentatives to appear before the school
tax advisory committee, appointed by
the governor, to protest against the
levy.
David Kreyling, secretary Of the
union, said the organization was in
sympathy with the proposition that
additional funds be raised for educa-
tional purposes, but said he believed
selection of the tobacco industry
amounted to discrimination. The or
ganization would support a more gen.
eral tax measure, he said.

Wndsperger and Garvan,
Crystal Palace Experts,
in Novel Dance.

The Apache on ice-a dance which
only two other persons in the world
perform-has thrilled hundreds as
presented by Miss Sonia Garvan anu
Adolph Windsperger this week on the
ice rink Of the Crystal Palace.
Difficult as it may be on the stage,
this internationally known couple
make the dance seem easy on ice by
the grace with which they glide
through its motions.
Ending with a feat Of physical
strength and confidence in one another
which is displayed by few Apache
dancers on the stage, Miss Garvan
and Mr.. Windsperger elicit a hearty
round of applause long before the final
twist Is made.
DOES "AEROPLANE."
In the close Of the dance. Miss
Garvan is swung through the air, with
her feet locked around her partners
neck, while he spins around in a small
| circle in the center of the floor.
After acting together for three years.
the two skating experts perfected the
difficult number which has been re-
ceived so well by San Antonio devo-
tees of the invigorating outdoor sport
which has been brought indoors, as
it were.
Miss Garvan explained the secret of
the number.
"As you skate, you must act, but
at the same time while acting you
must not forget that you are skating"
she said. IF you forget that latter.
disastrous results are liable to result. "
COOPERATION VITAL.
Continuing she said: "One Of the
things which makes it so difficult is
that certain points in the dance must
be reached simultaneously with GER
tain musical strains, if best effect is to
be held. This makes extraordinary CO.
ordination between skaters and mu-
sicians necessary.
"For our presentation OF the dance,
we have the Gypsy Sweethearts play
Offenbach's Apache Love-" composed
especially for the dance"
| One of the things that makes the
dance such a hard one to perform, ac-
cording to Mr.. Windsperger, is the
sudden starting and stopping necessary
in it.
Besides the feature number given
this week, Mr.. Windsperger, "Th'
Spreadeasle King" and Miss Garvan
Empress of the Ice" both names Civ
en- them while skating in the Hippo
drome in New York, offer other selec
tons.
OF these, the spreadeagle and th'
Jackson Haines spin by Mr.. Winds
pcrger probably are the most difficult

Adults Seek Education

As person grows older he she realizes OF
what value is education. As contacts increase and
as one is brought into daily association with men
and women of culture and affairs, realizes very
sharply the deficiencies in ones mental equipment
for this struggle call life, and if the person is
honest, effort is made to remedy the situation.
OF course there those who simply resent that
anyone else has more education polish, or culture
than have they, and who will do nothing themselves
to remedy their position. They will not give the
time and the effort necessary to bring their mental
equipment up to passabe level.
This class, however, is gradually growing smaller
and smaller. Only recently report Of the exten.
sion courses given at Columbia University pointed
out that over onehalf Of those enrolled for the var
Gus courses were adults and many Of them far into
middle life
The extension courses being given by various col
le9es are Of great value those who are not able
TO take advantage Of regular college course. Thes.
courses perform . very definite public service b,
helping to raise the general standard Of inteeenc,
and education.
