face that It was submitted "in accordance
with the above advertisement." which was
clipped from the World-Herald and pas.ed
on the bid. The advertisement specified
that nil bids must be in by u o'clock on
the afternoon of June SO. before the ex
piration of which time The Bee's b'd
was In the han'dn of the clerk. Tho World

Councilman Funkhnuscr referred to th?
time ho was on the' Board of Education
and said that It was tho policy of that
board never to accept one bid, taking oc
casion to censure the city clerk for open
ing tho one bid, which, he said, was done
without the consent and approval of the
council. Councllmen Brucker and McGov
em also took water to some extent and an
nounced In a mild way thnt possibly The
Bee ought to have the contract, the fact
that the World-Herald went to sleerat the
switch and forgot to flfT lis proposals In
tlmo not being the fault of the council.
Mr. Hunt denied that the 5 o'clork clause
In tho advertisement was binding and
claimed that bids could be submitted up to
the hour of the opening of the council in
the first meeting In July, which he claimed
was rightfully July 7. Attorney Cunnell
showed by the char'er that the meeting on
July 1 was the "first." no matter whether
that session be dominated as a regular,
special or adjourned meeting.
Owners of property abutting on Califor

Athlete rinds Better Training rood.
It was formerly the belief that to become
strong, athletes must eat plenty of meat.
This Is all out ot dute now, and many
trainers feed athletes on the well-known
food, Grape-Nuts, made of wheal and bar
ley, and cut the meat down to a small por
tion, once a day.
"Threo years ago," writes a Michigan
man, "having become Interested in ath
letics, I found I would have to stop eullng
pastry and some other kinds of food.
"I got some Grape-Nuts and was soon
eating the food at every meal, for I found
that when I went on the track, I feit
more lively and active.
"Later. I begun also to drink Poatum In
place of coffee and the way I ginned
muscle and strength on thla diet was cer
tainly great. On the day of field meet In
June I weighed 124 lbs. On the opening
of tho football season In September I
weighed 140. I attributed my fine con
dition and good work to the discontinua
tion of Improper food and coffee, and the
using of Grape-Nuts and Postum, my prin
cipal diet during the training season being
Grape-Nuts.
"Before I used Grape-Nuts I never felt
right in the morning always klud of
'out of sorts' wit!) my stomach. But now
when I rise I feel good, and after a break
fast largely of Grape-Nuts with cream,
and a cup of Fostum, I feel like a new
man." "There's a Reason."

generally estimated that the expenses of

while the salary was $12,000 a year. Mr!
Bryan then replied that in case he wss
elected, rather than have the vice presi

AMONG TIIE CLUB WOMEN
Remarkable Statistics Regardin.r the
Women's Congress at Borne.
"STRAWS" AT BOSTON BIENNIAL
Where ome of tronart Womea on
General Federation F.xrrutlve
Hoard Stand on Important
ttaeatlon.
Here Is what tho Gazette dl Venezla got
out of the congress of women held re
cently at Rome, and the report has been
going the round of the press ns a "statis
tical summary" of the convention:
"There were assembled." the paper says,
"4(7 congress members, 44t5 of whom de
llvctcd speeches. The one who did not was
the representative of the Deaf and Dumb
Institute of London. In all, 618 speeches
were made, most of which were Impro
vised. "Of the women, twenty-six were married,
twenty-eight widows and 302 spinsters. To
ascertain the ages of the fair members
seems to have been an Impossible task, for
the compiler contents himself with stating
that only two were under 20 and 3TS were
over 50.
"He says ruthlessly that 113 women wore
spectacles, M7 eyeglasses and 1S4 made use
of reading glasses. Twelve women sported
tho latest creations In the now fashionable
bell shape hats, twenty-eight wore rococo
bonnets, 337 Juvenile hats and thirty-nine
grandmothers caps.
"There were also to be seen, adds the In
discreet reporter, seven wigs, four sets of
ralso teeth and eighteen snuff boxes In
continuous use. During the congress tho
members dispatched 3.112 telegrams, with
a total of more than 240.UOO words, and they
also sent off 140,000 picture post cards."
While the press reports wero a trifle dis
appointing to the serious minded women
over tho world who would like to have
known something more about what trans
pired at that meeting In Rome-who some
of these women were, why they assembled
and what they said In some of those 446
speeches-they must realize that It would be
quite unreasonable to expect one corre
spondent or even a liberal detail of re
porters to collect all tho above data and
get anything elso out of the convention, too.
How the Lenders Stanrt.
Although tho General FeJeratlon of
viomens nubs excludes all "political and
religious" organizations from membership
and has never made any pronouncement
In favor of woman suffrage, it Is a fact
that Its official board grows more nnd more
strongly tinctured with suffrage cverv
year.
Mrs. Decker, who has Just completed her
two terms of presidency, was a voter fmm
Colorado and has been president of the
State Board of Charities and Corrections of
Colorado, an offlco filled by appointment
by the governor. She was the only woman
ever Invited by a president of the i-nii
States to sit In a conference of the gov
ernors of the various states to dlscufs
matters of general Interest to the states
The new president, Mrs. Phllln N. Monro
or at. iuis, has never taken any active
part In tho suffrage movement, but when
the National Woman Suffrage association
met at Baltimore two years ago she soou.
on college night, which stamps her as a
suffragist.
Mrs. May Alden Ward, the defeated can
didate for the same office, has been many
i. men aeneu oy me suffraa sts to ,m.
for them, but has always refused, although
this played no specifio part In her defeat,
which was on other grounds.
Among tho new officers Mrs. Frank km v
ot Cheyenne, Wyo., tho secretary, la
voter; Mrs. Evans, a director, is president
of the Oregon Equal Suffrage association;
uuuui(m uianKenourg of Philadelphia,
tho auditor, has for years been the heart
and front of suffrage work In Pennsyl
vania; Mrs. W. A. Johnson, a dl.e,.f
was formerly president of tho Kansas Rt'.
frage association, and Mrs. John Sherman
of Chicago, second vice president, has long
been active In suffruge work In Illinois.
I no word suffrage does not occur In the
constitution of the organization nor have
the suffrage leagues ever been definitely
and formally excluded from n.embershlo
But when tho federation waa organized
years ago by Sorosis It was so thoroughly
understood that no suffrage leagues heed
apply that the National Council of Women
was organized immediately afterward that
it might include the National Suffrage as
sociation. During tha last year for the first time.
three suffrage leagues were admitted Into
the General Federation. No commotion
was mudo over It; the board simply read
Its constitution and said that while "polit
ical" clubs could not bo admitted suffrage
eagues weren t political; "political meant
democratic or republican or socialist clubs.
As the federation is the largest and most
powerful organization of women in tho
United States, representing I,0u0,c00, many
of them of wealth and prominence, th's
new reading of their constitution Is signif
icant. Tho greatest applause of the entire
convention at Boston was heard when Prof.
Zueblln of Chicago university declared for
suffrage in his speech.

TATTT'Q
At the Theatero
-Oat of tho fold" at the Boyd.
Just for a change, at the Boyd this week
we do not meet eny of the folks of the
nobility or the gentry, but are offered ac
quaintance with some of the plain, every
day folks f the world. We go with them
Into their homes and take part In their
dally lives, and rather enjoy the experi
ence. For the most part they ero folks
good to know, but Just as the world Is
made up, so the ' people In "Out of the
Fold." Several of them are of the kind
we would like to omit, but they sem essen
tial, for Jf it wasn't for them the story
would end before It got under headway
It tells the old, old story of a girl who was
e victim, and who finally found what she
thought wss the wsy to happiness only to
have her dreams rudcty Interrupted. But
through the Intervention of a good man.
ell came right In the end. It has a cosy
country atmosphere, and in oil ways Is
most enjoyable. Director Kirk has provided
fine setting for each of the four acts
and achieves some genuine triumphs In
realism.
The piece1 has the further advantage of
giving to Mr. Beamish the best chance he
hs had since his opening bill, and he
makes tho most of his opportunity. He has
a fine character and It Is finely played. Mr.
Morrison Is quite at home In the role of a
romantic lover and leaves nothing to be
desired by his work. Mr. Kirk. Mr. Poulter,
Mr. Wsllock, Mr. Derante. Mr. Bchrode and
Mr. Klott contribute well develop d char
acter studies to the action of the play.
Mlsa Fleming, dressed plainly, looks, If
possible, even more charming than In tho
elaborate gowns of a lady of fashion. She
brings all her powers of sympathetic por
trayal to the role of Helen Gray. Miss
Power Is the rich young woman who also
want to win the hand of the young school
master. Miss Spencer Is the crabbed old
gossip of the village and Miss Duke is the
impertinent tomboy ot the play.
The opening performances yesterday In
dicated the satisfaction the play Is giving.
It will run all week.
Plctare at tho Uurwood.
The moving picture show at the Rurwood
this week Is one that will be very popular.
Several very dramatic pictures are shown,
among them "Tho Boston Tea Party,"
which very well Illustrates the episode of
the capture of the British ship In Boston
harbor and the dumping of the cargo of tea
Into the water. A very artlstio picture Is
that of "The Sleeping "Beauty." It depicts
the well known fairy tale on which Tenny
son based one of his most charming rooms.
The comic pictures and the Illustrated
songs are good and the synchroscope Is fur
Ing "Because I'm Happy." Ail day yester
In g "Because I'm Happy." All day yester
day the theater was well filled by people
who expressed their delight at the excel
lence of the show. The present program
will continue until after Wednesday night.
"The Shadow of Darkness" at the Air
Dome.
A very Interesting play Is '.'The Shadow
of Darkness," put on at the Air Dome last
night. It tells the story of an old Inventor,
who la seeking the lost art of glazing pot
tery. His daughter Is led away by the son
of the man who has ruined him. The old
man discovers the lost secret, after long
trials, and sees his former employer re
duced to practical beggary. Ills vengeance
does not taste sweet to him, though, and
he continually mourns for his missing
daughter, who turns up finally, the happy
wife of the man she loved all the way and
who the father thought had wronged her.
All through the story is a most Interesting
one. Mr. Hillman plays the role of the old
Inventor and Miss Hayes that of his daugh
ter. The staging of the piece is very effec
tive, especially the scene at the kilns,
where the old man burns everything to
keep the fires alive and finally wins the
secret he seeks. The bill will run all week.
GOOD THING RIGHTLY APPLIED

Ive Exuberance of
Youth.
Judge Wlllard H. Olmstead. presiding
Justice of the chlldrens' court of New York
City, says his court Is "a pedagogical, not
a penal Institution." The "children's
Judge," as he is called, said, when ques
tloned In regard to his system of correct
ing children:
"It Is hard to understand why the chll
dren of our country have been neglected as
long as they have. They are the bone and
sinew of our nation, and turned astray
In childhood, their entire life is bcund to
be worked out on false lines. J believe
every child at heart Is good. Ha means
well, and when, through the exuberance
of his feelings, he commits some act
against the good of the community It Is
only a simple mistake that can be cor
rected In a simple way.
"Spanking Is good for many boys, es
pecially if tho spanking Is administered by
some one In parental authority. I have fre
quently sentenced a boy to a sound spank
ing by his father or mother right In my
court, because I believed It would do him
good. Its effect on hhn Is far more salu
tary than If It were administered In his
own home.
"I got only one spanking In my life, but
I will never forget the impression It made
on me. I debated most seriously for hours
whether to run away from such cruel pa
rents or not, and, of course, I finally de
cided not to run away. WhyT Because
the punishment was of such a nature that
It appealed to me and I finally came to
the conclusion that perhaps I had deserved
what I got.
"The remembrance of that spanking
came back to me when I took charge of
the children's court. If It had a good ef
fect on me, I argued, why wouldn't It be a
good thing to try on others? So I got to
ordering spankings right In court and I
believe they are doing good." New York

Rev. . T. George Sayi the Gift Often
Open Way for Prayeri.
GIFT TO CHURCH SHOULD BE FREE
Mensbere who Look at Collections la
Right l.laht llela to Moire Many
Problems of Church
Boards.
"The Offering as a Part of the Worship"
was the theme of the sermon by Rev, K.
T. George at Trinity Methodist church Sun
day morning. He ewld In part:
"If we turn to tha lexicon we can find no
explanation of worship that does not coh
tsln the Idea of an offering. Wo learn the
me thing from the Bible. The old cere
monial worship waa not complete without
an offering. It Is very clear, plain and
definite there.
'The attitude of the Individual toward
law depends on his relation to the law. The
man who doea not want to desecrate the
Sabbath does not complain about the laws
against Sabbath desecration. If we. enjoy
reading God's word. If there la something
there to cheer and comfort us, we love to
read It and It doea not need any command
to mako us read It. So It Is In all of God's
law. If our relationship with Clod le such
as It should be It nerds no exhortation to get
us to go to church, Sunday school ' and
prayer meeting. If we wnnt to do the right
thing bad enough we will do It.
Solution of Many Problem.
"Our offering ought to be free. It ought
to be willingly given. The offering Is a,'
part of our worship. If we looked at It In
that way the problems of hundreds of
church boards would be solved.
