Creed for the Women's Clubs.
Keep us. O God, from pettiness;
let us be large in thought, in words,
in deed.t
Let us be done with fault-finding
and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away pretense and
meet each other face to face, without
self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hajsty in judgment
and always generous.
Teach us to put in action our better
impulse, straightforward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize that it i9
the little things that create differ
ences; that in the big things of life
we are one.
And may we strive to touch and to
know the great common woman's
heart of us all, and, O Lord God, let
us not forget to be kind. Anon.

JTZSS RUW SLABAUGH
Judge and Mrs. W. Wv Slabaugh an
nounce the betrothal of their daugh
ter, Ruth. Julia, and Mr. George E. En
gler, the wedding to take place some
time before the holidays.
Intimate friends ' have anticipated
the engagement announcement, espe
cially the Happy Hollow club set.
Miss Slabaugh is athletic in her
tastes and one of the best woman ten
nis players at the club. Since the mar
riage of Miss Ethel Tukey, now Mrs.
Louis Korsmeyer of Lincoln, Miss
Slabaugh has taken charge of the
corps bf young girls who distribute
flowers each Thursday for the Emma
Hoagland flower mission.
When Milady Goes Shopping
"And many a flower I longed for had a hidden
thorn of pain,
And many a rugged by-path lead to fields of
ripened grain."
Bjr ADELAIDE KEKNEBLY.
"I learn as the years roll onward
And leave the pist behind,
That much I have counted sorrow
But proves that God is kind.
That many a flower I longed for
Had a hidden thorn of pain,
And many a rugged by-bath
Led to fields of ripened grain."
And so it is with conflicting ideas
of merchant and customer!
In serving thousands of persons
every day the intelligent merchant
realizes that unless an element of
fair play is practiced he will not
only lose business but would be
committing a crime against those
persons who patronize his store in
good faith. 1 i
The return evil presents itself in
many and varied ways, especially
in the large department stores, but
the refusal of merchants to accept
the return of certain goods, for
sanitary reasons, is surely worth
consideration.
Hair goods, which includes orna
ments, switches and a hundred ac
cessories, is not returnable goods.
And it is surprising how many worn
en cannot understand why, if they
decide they want to change a switch
for something else, they are not per
mitted to do so. They do not real
ize, and probably do not even know,
that there are a great many scalp
diseases and that dandruff is ex
tremely infectious, easily carried
from one person to another through
combs, hats and hair goods. There
fore, for sanitary reasons, if for no
other, such goods is not exchange
able.. Would you shop in a department
store where you knew they accepted
goods that had been used by some
other person, no telling wha?
Would you consider, for one mo
ment, purchasing goods in which
there was a single element of dan
ger of contracting germs?
Would you want to shop in a
store where they were careless
about the brushes and combs on the
sale counters?
'No, you wouldn't!
You would say: "I shall buy my
hair ornaments and . combs in a
first-class place, where I can be as
sured of sanitary goods."
That is it exactly 1
The merchant who refuses to ac
cept the return of such goods from
you is, first of all, protecting you
against 10,000 others who are, per
haps, less particular in the hand
ling of articles they take away on
approval. The refusal to take back
your purchase is a small matter
compared to the risk you would" be
taking if such exchanges were per
mitted. "So after the earth comes
Heaven,
And out of our loss our gain."
Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE? FAIRFAX.
A Lack of Fine Feellnc .
Dear Miss Fairfax: Is ft proper for s
young man who baa been riving- atten
tion to a girl for a year to be attentiv
to a friend to wham ah Introduced hlml
Klvea her everything and takea her out.
Hla aweetheart tores him. bat do 70 u think
it worth worrying overt . PCZZLED.
This is not a question of propriety, bn!
one of consideration and fine feeling. A
man who really lores one girl is unlikely
to want to make love to another and surely,
would not wish to humiliate his sweet
heart by demonstrating the charm anothei
girl had for him. He is either fickle 01
has a rather brutal desire to hurt th
girl who loves blra and to glory in showing
his power.
Dear MUs Fairfax: I am a high school
girl or IS and am corresponding with a
soldier four years my senior. My mother
does aot approve of him at all and since
he is coming home on a furlough soon I
am asking you to tell me some secret ways
to see him. jj q
Why does your mother object to him 7
You are very young and I should certainly
not advise any clandestine meetings. Ask
your mother to allow him to call if he is
a worthy young man. But don't imagine
that a soldier suit changes the heart of a
rogue.

Children Health Officers
Dr. J. C. Montgomery, city and
county health officer of Manhattan,
Riley county, Kansas, has found the
children most valuable assets in the
work of cleansing ud and aidine the
public health. He has a regular offi
cer in every school m the countv.
These boys and girls are appointed
with certificate and badge, and they
make a report each month on local
conditions.
If there are insanitary disease-breed
ing dumps they have authority to
have them removed. If there are ab
sences from school they report '&J
once in case oi niness, ana thus the
health otticer can prevent the spread
oi contagious diseases, ine year pre
ceding the employing of the children
in this work the death rate was 11.1
per cent per thousand. The next year
the rate dropped to 9.9 per cent; the
year following this the death rate was
even less, 8.1 per cent, and the third
year of the juvenile health aid the rate
had dropped 4 per cent from the first
year of its trial to 7.1 per cent.

Buffalo Cushions
The hides of the buffalo in Golden
Gate Park these days look like the
next to the last picture in the "going,
going, gone" advertisements of cer
tain hair restorers. Attendants have
been wondering why women who
passed up the herd in the days of its
hi.sute glory have been flocking
about the corrals as the buffaloes be
come homelier than ever, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
"They even pet the big brutes," said
one puzzled attendant. He walked
over to the pen, determined to get the
secret of the feminine change of
heart. 1 ,
He learned the women were not
fondling the buffalo, but trying to
help nature along by pulling out
their fur. The big beasts seemed to
appreciate it as they stood quietly by
the heavy picket fence through which
the women reached. Now everybody
is happy.
The park attendants are glad be
cause the buffaloes, if their fur is pil
fered by women, won't try to rub it
off on the trees, which generally suf
fer in the process.
The buffaloes are happy because fur
pulls off a lot more easily than it rubs
off, and the former system sort of
tickles.
And the women are joyous, because
they are getting a lot of buffalo fur,
which is ideal for sofa cushions.
What Are You Saving Toay?
If you saw a little child lying on your doorstep dying of hunger, would
you pass him by and go in to your own abundant meal?
Or would you leave him there because you thought some one else in
your street would probably feed him as much as he needed?
. Or, perhaps, because your husband is very particular about his food
and the child might require something that he wanted and he would be
cross? , i
Or, just because it wasn't your child, anyway, so why think about it?
The idea, even, of such cold-hearted conduct would bring ary of pro
test from the women of the United States.
Yet, ,that is substantially what many of you are doing.
The fact that the child is not actually on your doorstep does not alter
the principle. Realize him! Visualize htm and all his tiny, suffering brothers
and sisters in Belgium' and northern France. , ' .
j Realize also that from America must come the food -for them.
! Sign the pledge card of the United States food administration and be
comforted with the knowledge that your thought and self-denial are help
ing to feed the babies across the sea.
Mother's Pensions in Ohio
Ohio oeoole are a.1 unit as rrsrds
the popularity of mothers' pensions.
Its beneficiaries and the thousands of
workingmen in Ohio's numerous
factories, throutth the instriifTipnfal it v
of this law, now know a peace of
mind concerning the future of their
families they have never known before.
As administered in Ohio the allow
ance of a mother's pension 'is not
charity. It is on a par with the free
school system, supported by taxation
tor tne good ot the individual and the
state. Ohio has cdme to look upon
her children as her greatest asset and
has thriven on the theory that chil
dren,, properly reared make men and
women worth while. Ohio has pos
sessed institutions of the better char
acter, good houses well managed and
well systematized. But Ohio learned
that no institution and no hired per
son could take the place of mother
and the home. Three years has so
demonstrated the truth of the idea
that now Ohio has appropriated
$100,000 for the erection of a hospi
tal for crippled and deformed chil
dren. The mothers pension is ad
ministered by the juvenile courts.
Any mother who is a widow, or
whose husband is absent or unheard
from, or whose husband has fallen
afoul of the law, who is in need and
who has children under the school
age, is eligible to receive a pension
for a six months' period, renewable
as long as may be necessary. The
scale is $15 for the first child and
half that amount for the second fend
additional children. Under the eye 'of
competent court officials this has been
found satisfactory, but it is likely that
a scientific basis will be worked out
by which the mother will receive
difference between what is necessary
to maintain her home and what sh
is able to earn.
Social service investigators and of
ficials of organized charity, who are
best able to pass upon the working of
mothers' pensions, say that the sys
tem has aided them wonderfully and
relieved them of many burdens. There
is a noticeable falling off in the rate
increase of vouthful
homes are kept Intact. With the ex
tension of the work of juvenile re
search and orohan placing it is be
lieved that many of the problems
of a growing state will be solved.
The public institutions are becoming
a burden to keep up and manage and
the home idea is winrfing. g
The mother of mothers' pensions
in Ohio is Mrs. Eliza R. Cox. Mrs.
Cox now deceased, is the mother of
James M. Cox, Ohio's present gov
ernor." With almost three .years' ex
perience mothers'! pensions ' ha?
demonstrated that the system must
be expanded and enlarged. There if
nowhere heard a demand that the
pension system be -abolished. In Ohic
it is making good. Woman's World
