Club Women Debate
Are Derived from
Czars, kings and kaisers on their
tottering thrones, the spirit of one
kind of lese majeste that breathes
through this thoroughly democratic
age may have something to do with
the situation in the Lincoln Woman's
club, the president of which, Mrs.
F. M. Hall, last week urged the dis
solution of the tie that hinds the
Lincoln club to the General Federa
tion of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Hall
deems it unwise to any longer pay the
dues necessary to belong to the gen
eral federation on .account of the
meager benefits received in return
for the money, according to her judg
ment. ''
The motion did not carry, but it
precipitated the liveliest discussion
the Lincoln dub ever heard.
"The time has come when the in
efficiency of the methods of the gen
eral' federation to minister, tp the
needs of individual clubs is a much
discussed topic among clubwomen,
especially where the membership fee
is small and the membership large,"
said Mrs. Hall.
The Lincoln club is the largest in
the state, wjth a . membership of
1,584. The membersjjp fee isl and
the per capita tax 10 tents.
"I am frank to confess that t do
not feel I brought back $50 worth of
ideas received at the list biennial
whkh could be applied to the work
of the club. I know of no programs'
or methods that any other delegate
brought back and introduced into this
organization. Next I visited the de

Monday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. R. C. Person.
'Owing to the unsettled conditions

partment exhibits, asking for study

I was told there were none."
Art, literature and other confer
ences were held at expensive lunch
eons in fine hotels and while person
ally enjoyed by Mrs. Hall gave her
no ideas to bring to the ciub, she
said.
"I was fortunate enough to attend
a dress reform meeting, where I saw
a number of dresses displayed on liv
ing models that I am confident would
not meet the needs off a majority of
the Lincoln women."
Mrs. E. M. Syfert, retiring presi
dent of the Omaha Woman's club, the
next largest club in the state, with a
membership of over 500, holds views
diametrically opposite to those of
Mrs. Hall.
"I was especially grateful to the
Omaha club for sending me to the bi
ennial at the beginning of my admin
istration, for much of the inspiration
I had for carrying on the club work
was received there. Such far-reaching
movements as the baby health
week of last year and this year and
the campaign for better movies for
children would have been impossible
without the help of the general fed
eration. Mary Grey Peck, who came
to Omaha at the beginning of the
local work for better films for chil
dren, was sent here by the general
federation The women's and girls'
division of the federal employment
bureanMoc Jiaa the backing of the
general federation," said Mrs. Syfert.

YOUR MILITARY VOCABULARY
Probably Needs Brushing Up Here
Are Things Worth Remem
bering. Things to remember when using a
military vocabulary:- ,
A "rookie" is a recruit.
An officer never '-'enlists."- He is
commissioned1 by the president of the
United States. Only private soldiers,
including corporals and sergeants,
can enlist. .
To be "drafted" means to be forced
into the military or naval service.
To "volunteer" means to go into
the service willingly.
"Rank and file" do not mean offi
cers and enlisted men. "Rank" is a
row of soldiers and "file" represents
a man in the tront rank with the man
or men directly behind him.
Squad is part of a company.
A captain commands a company
and he has under him a first lieuten
ant and a second lieutenant.
A major commands a battalion.
winch is made up of four companies,
A regiment is commanded by a col
onel, and it comprises three battal
ions, so that a regiment is made up of
twelve companies.
lhe new army law abolishes the
grade of brigadier general. Here
after, if that law passes, a colonel will
jump directly to major general.
A general of the army corresponds
to an admiral of the navy. Lieuten
ant general ranks with a vice admiral
and a major general with a rear ad
miral.
Since Dewey's death there is no
American admiral, and we have no
vice admirals. Neither is there a
general or lieutenant general. Our
chiet-ot-statt is a major general.
J. he titles ot lieutenant ceneral and
general, vice admiral and admiral
must be especially created by act of
congress.
President Wilson is commander-in-
clucf of both army and navy, and has
the right to take direct command of
the fleet or the army of 1,000,000 men.
Every president durinir his term of
office stands at the top of both the
amy and the navy stands there as
the supreme commander.
He can dismiss anv officer, however
high or low the rank. He appoints
all officers. Philadelphia Ledger.
CHIVALRY NOT YET DEAD.
A Cripple's Tribute to the Man Who
Would Have Fought for
Him.
Always there is something which
shows the innate kindliness of the
American "man of the street" and
sends me home with a glow about
my heart. (The writer is a lame man.)
1 have collected a great store of
examples of this kindliness, but I
shall give only one, first, because it
is peculiarly typical, and, next, be
cause it shows how completely the
spirit of chivalry survives in everv-
day life.
I was coming down from a base
ball match at the Polo grounds in
New York one summer afternoon, and
about 6:15 landed on the corner of
Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street at
the moment when the large shops in
the neighborhood were pouring forth
their swarms of employes, most of
whom were quite clearly of alien birth.
1 wanted to take a street car, but as
I stood by the track one after an
other came up, only to be rilled by
a scrambling mob which paid no
slightest attention to the man on
crutches waiting to find a place, till
1 turned in despair back to the side
walk to wait till the rush should pass.
suddenly there stepped up to me
two young men, most evidently Amer
ican to the soles of their shoes, one
of them so angry that I thought I
must have done something to en
rage. "What to get on a car?" he
almost snarled. "Yes," said I in my
most conciliatory tone, hoping to turn
aside the wrath to come. "You don't
stand much chance here." "Oh," said
I, that doesn t matter; I n in no
hurry. I'll wait till the crowd has
passed." "Well, if you are in a hurry,
ii puncn some ot these people in the
eye and put you on."
that was abso utelv the ourest
spirit of Ihivalry. Lancelot or Gala
had, when they went about redressing
the wrongs of distressed maidens, did
no more than that young man offered
to do. Sir Thomas Malory has en
dowed them with a stately language,
as against the East Side vernacular
employed by my would-be rescuer,
but the spirit which would engage him
in a street fight to put an entirely
strange cripple on a street car was
just as fine as that of the knights
ot tne round table, and it was dis
played by a yrung man he looked as
though he might have been a clerk
in a banker's uffice or something of
the sort who was as completely
American as it was possible to be.

MELODY IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
Songs Are Wild and Melancholy, but
the boldiers Are
Cheerful
Nowadays there are soldiers every
where in Petrograd big blond boys
in long tan overcoats with flap caps
slapped rakishly over one ear. They
drill '."in dozens of squares, on the
cobblestoned space below the dome
of St. Isaac's which suggests St.
Peters at Rome and march the
streets day and night, singing their
tremendous Russian songs.
Three or four hies start the air.
after a measure or two the next sec
tion' come in. and so on down the
street, -until presently the whole col
umn is booming a sort of "round."
The song, wild and melancholy, with
tremendous basses, goes down the
street in a series of waves, and as one
descends in front of you another is
flung to the housetop a little way
down the block.
They march slowly, with a curious
rolling of the shoulders and swinging
of their long tan overcoats. Their
feet go out and down with- a snap
clop clop in a sort of mod
ified goose step, and to accent the
rhythm they are taught to swing the
free arm, the one not carrying the
rifle, in a wide, slow arc, almost up
to the opposite shoulder and back
again.
And this slow, deliberate reaching

IN THB New York TImea last week

days has a touch of embroidery on it.
I was allowed to peep Into the tissue
paper wrappings of a white cloth suit
which wan jus' being sent out and I
must say I've never seen such hard
some embroidery,

I'VF found that cooking Is a Joy and
always a success wtth my new

The oven and broiler are placed at

a turn because I can depend on the
oven giving a steady heat at any re
quired temperature. It is all so con
veniently arranged, too, and so neat
looking with its trays of whitest porce
lain under the broiler and burner top.

the wonders of this splendid range,
