 She will make the legislative re- port at the opening se ssion of the leagues annual convention in Chi cago April 23-2S. and she will be busy making pencil sketches and notes up to the very minute of her scheduled report. She always car ries a small notebook, where notes on league work are intcrspcrsed with sketches of league workers, a passing scene from a railroad win dow, or a street character.
 Miss Clark has had leading part in suffrage and political life in Virginia for IT years. When the suffrage league was formed in that state. she became it's secretary.

Something Mysterious Doing at tn

 Shack Near the Farmhouse
 That Lillian was unusually wor- ried over possible danger to us at the farmhouse, l knew as she walk ed up and down the veranda wait ing for Jims return from the sta ton. It is the only exhibition of nervousness she ever gives, and it is an action which I rarely have wit messed. When we saw the car re- turning, driven at rate of speed rare with Jim, she hurried to the kitchen door with me at her heels, patently intent upon talking to him as soon as he stopped the car.
 But to our great surprise he did not stop. Instead he continued past the house and the barn, and turned into the narrow lane, little more than | pasture path, leading to the top of the hill from which a wood road saunters to the main road. Just beyond the crest of the hill is the shack in which were housed the men we 50 feared and with one of hom Dicky had SO unexplainable and ucomprehensible an acquat- tance.
 Well. I'll be--fried in olive-oil." Lillian eAclaimed-then as her eyes fell upon my car, she caught me by the hand and made a dash for it.
 Start that as quickly as the Lord will let you" she commanded. This is no time for splitting hairs. I'm going to find out what Jim is doing up there."

 Catch up to him and keep right behind him." she said. I saw Jim turn his head at our approach. and then he slackened speed and, stop ping at tho top of the hill, came hack to us and doffed his hat with the respectful etolidity which char acterizes our faithful man of all work.
 Did you want me, Ma'am:" he asked. "The car seemed to act a little funny coming homo and ! thought I'd run it up this hill and see how 1t took it.
 He spoke the words exactly as if they were | sentence learned by heart. and as I looked steadily at him I saw his cheeks redden pain

Beauty Drive in
 Chicago School
aint Cheeks From the
 Inside" Is Slogan.

Chicago. April 23,--"Paint your cheeks from the insiIe"
 This is the slogan. with it's subtle appeal to vanity of campaign now under way in Chicago's high schools to save the 1lappcrs from themselves
 Some Of the most prominent teachers in the city are heading the program. Early to bed and early to rise, they say, makes a girl healthy. wea|thy--and beautiful. These five rules arc being inn pressed on girl students who dance until the ''wcc sma' hours Of the morning and then yawn over their books in the classrooms next day with resultant dctrimcnt to mental efficiency and beauty:
 l-Early 10 bed and eight
 hours sleep.
 2-No late dances or joy
 rides.
 3-Proper dress.
 4-No smoking or drinking
 5-Llttle or no betting.
 One of the most active teachers in the campaign is Miss Alma $. Flick. dean of girls at Roosevelt High school.
 Need More Sleep
 'Thn first and foremost thing we are demanding of our girls, is eight hours sleep at night Miss Flick said. 'Wc have found imnunl,-ablc cases Of girls being run down in health and deficient in their studies as the result Of five, and sometimes four. hours Of sleep
 'Thc girls themselves admit they cannot stand up 10 dancing every night and schaal every day-and vet look at thc number who do not get enough rest"
 To prove if, Miss Flick showed a. number Of problem cards" each reading Hack of proper sleep"
 Of course, says Miss Flick. 'hc teachers cant actually put the girls in bed at night and make them stay there, but the campaign is winning co-opcratlon. In cases where it fails. teachers arc calling in the parents.
 We don't want 10 deny the girls their dancing and their fun---not at all,' said Miss Pick. "Rut we must do something to stop wild life and late hours or our girls will be old long before their time"
 Gym Is Compulsory
 itr,o, in, ,,l,ric,1 ,Se~l fare program is compulsory gym- nasium attendance. Every high school girl must attend gym classes unless excused by a physicians ccr- tificatc.
 Nearly every girl needs more healthfu exercise" continued Miss Tick. ''lt helps keep them young"
 Modesty and comfort in dress is also being emphasized. The do- nestle science departments in the various high schools are helping in this
 Health lectures. logic and reason- ing have heen tried many times be- fore but have loft little impression on the faprers. They've continued to dance late and get by with as little sleep as possible.
 But the present campaign for moro sleep at night is gaining con- verts because Of it's strategy in ap- pea1in'- 10 feminine vanity through tho lure of beauty.
 What f1arper wouldn't succumb to that appeal?
