by the Rreeln'cll Committee 0n S0- ‘rial Trends appointed by former President Hoover, tvhiclt made its report in. January. i

Dr. Bleckinritlco, who is profes-I snr of ptlblic vrvlfurt- aciministra-' tion at the Universizy‘ of Chicago,’ devotes considerable space to a, history of the women's club move-l meat. Referring to the Dickens’ dinner episode. she ‘tells how Nirswi Croiy, whr.\=e husband was a mem-i oer of the club honoring the Eng- lish novelist, was loftily snubbed: m1 expressing a wish to go to the dinner. “Her sex debarred her," ob- serves Dr. Breckinridge. “and in the energy of her exasperation she determined to secure for women some of the benefits that men were unwilling to share with them."

As the result of Mrs. Crolyls ex- perience, Sorosis, a “Women's Club in New York City" was formed in thc same year, 186B, which was the beginning of the club movement. Sorosis is styled by Dr. Breckin-l ridge as the “mother" of the Gen-I eral Federation of Womens Clubs, which was organized in 1890. ’

Describing the genesis of this group Dr. Breckinridge explains that in 1889, the 21st anniversary of the organization of Sorosis, that club invited all the known women's clubs in the country to e. conven- tion, Ninety-seven in all were in- vited to discuss such topics as "the extent to which in 21 years club life has grown among women," and “how it differs from the club life of man." Sixty-one clubs respond- ed, the monograph states, and as j. result the federation was found- rd. Dr. Brecklnridge refer: to a. re- solution adopted in 1892 in which the federation declared its belief

immoral conduct which debars one from public life

In 189d it was estimated that

the general federation, clubs in 21 ‘states were united in state feder- ttions, and the trend toward public welfare interest was apparent. More than 800 delegates attcnded the 1898 biennial meeting at Den- ver, representing an estimated Lmembership of 160,000 women.

In 1902 the general federations membership had increased to 211,- 763, and at the end of 1910, the eecond decade of its existence, it had an approximate enrollment of 000,000, an inqease of almost 500 percent.

route to Canada in the Cunard lin- er "Ausonia." Eric is one of the only two mechanical men in the l\'0l'ld, and although he is a marvel- lous congeries of photo-electric cells, wiring, ‘reinstate, condensers. etc. he can do a great many subtle filings.

In fact, he is almost human and can converse, fire a pistol, stand up or sit down, and rumour has it, can even smoke a cigarette.

Eric is the result oi four years in- tensive study by his inventor, who is a woman who refuses to reveal her identity.

Weighing 31-3 tons. Eric the Robot is a creature resembling a man in nickel-plated armour, Photo-elect- ric cells are concealed behind the gratings which cover his eyes, while his ears are disguised microphones. He is astonishingly life-like and can move his limbs. stand up or sit down, and answer questions. All this is done without human aid. He answers questions. the replies to which have been previously recorded by means of a sound film inside. The amazing part is the speed with which the films get round to the proper answer, the mechanism hav- ing been actuated by a keywordin the spoken question.

The main secret of the monster, however, is how he learned to read and some idea of the worth of the machine may be guaged. from the. fact that an offer of £12,000 has been refused by the inventor. Not long ago Eric turned on his inven- tor and due to a wrong command being given, raised his arm and fir- ed the pistol point-blank.

After disembarking from the Cun- arder Austonia, the Robot will be sent. to the Canadian National Ex- hibition in Toronto.

Premier John Bracken of Mani- toba. and Premier S. F. yTolmie, of British Columbia declared the ex- periments proceeding across the in- ternational boundary should be watched closely by the Dominion. The government heads suggested the policies which appeared of benefit to Canada should be adopted nere.

At- the same time a former Pres- ident oi tho Canadian Manufactur- ers’ Association, R. J. Hutchings of Calgary, said he did not care to re- commend that Canada follow the lead of the United States.

MARY CIIRISTIE

OHAPTII. II

Miss Dale, to Her Mirror "You are cruel, Jinnyl As cruel as you are beautiful!"

Young 'I‘ra.ymore‘| voice had the low, vibrant note that. seldom in the past had failed to touch her.

‘Crocodile pathos‘, she called it now, with a certain charity of vis- ion that recent events had brought about.

“I'm not cruel. ‘Whereas I was blind, now I see,‘ " she quoted. "See what?"

"More than you think, my friend." An enigmatic little smile flickered at the corners of her lips. “I use my eyes—" "To deadly purpose. They're the loveliest eyes in the world, Jlnny. I'll never forget the first time you turned 'em on me . . . clean bow- led me over .. . ." “Oh you made a pretty good rec- overy," she retcrted, unperturbed. “You've looked into lots of other eyes since then, and found a heap oi charm in them. But what I mean to say is that I see more than you give me credit for, and I know what's going on, sub rosa. You can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds." He had to smile at that. There was something like a frightened little hare about Miss Prudence, and Virginia had hounded her‘ . . . or at least attempted to . . . on the day of the memorable garden-party when liesiound the shy country maiden almost on the verge of tears! ‘Aloud he said:—

"I'm sure I don't know what you mean." . "Oh no, you wouldn't. The Bert ‘Fraymores of this world make a. point of never seeing anything that's unpelasant." At that, he leant towards her, one hand laid on hers. "Buck up, Jinny girl! Haven't you always been first with me? And don't you flirt to beat the band, yourself, whenever the spirit moves you? Then why be down on a chap because he's had a . . . a sort of spring interlude . . ." "Spring madness, eh?" He laughed uncomfortably.

“Oh, not as bad as that. She's only a kid, Jlnny. she's years young- er than either you or me." Oh, fatal blunder! Years younger? Had he really guessed, then? She'd have a long, long look in the glass to-nlght and woe betide Annette, her maid, if she hadn't got lots of the new cream ready, and the ice ordered from the village, and the things from town! "I'm still in my early twenties, and. can't pose as a Methusaleh," she said, with an angry simper, "though, personally, I fail to see or under- stand this flapper fascination that's come over you." "Come, don't be foolish, Jinny." Young Traymore slipped a cajoling arm about her waist. "You're so bright and amusing that you beat all the flappers in the world—" Insult to injury! Had she reached such an age, then that her sole charm was fllppancy of mind and agile wits? Good heavens!

“It‘ ill becomes an old lady like myself to be coquetting 1n the moon- light with a Don Juan!" She re- leased the clutch, and the car started forward. “No-stop philan- dering, Bert—I‘m tired, and want to get my beauty sleep."

To his protestations she was deaf and dumb. A good thing to tantalize him! The fish one almost caught, but hadn't, was the one a man would rave about for weeks! It was time Bert was brought to nis senses, and understood her value.

"You've changed to me, ever since that Peter Armstrong fellow started fussing over you," said Traymore sulkily. He was in a mood for dal- liance, and women didn't generally refuse his overtures.

Virginia's eyes widened.

"Peter Armstrong? fussing over me?” (How too ridiculous! The boot had been upon the other foot!)

"Well, wouldn't any chap fuss over you, who had a chance? And, if what. a little bird tells me is tnue, you've given him several chances lately."

The girl laughed, and tossed ner head.

"You mean when I took tea with him in his cottage, and another time we did an experiment t0- gether?"

Traymore nodded grimly.

"If you experiment too far, you'll may be bring the whole show down about your ears. Remembc Delilah, young lady, and go easy!"

"He's a very brawny Samson, anyhow." ‘

She felt brighter now, though her quondam sweetheart still looked sulky.

What did she see?

But . . . only herself would Miss Virginia ever have harbored such a thought! hadn't a certain ‘dewlness’ departed? Wasn't there a calculating hardness in the eyes and in the set of the perfectly-modelled mouth? when she was tired or des- pondent, too, it ‘sagged’, marrlng its beauty, so that Annette‘s clever fingers had to coax the lines away with the new kind of cream that was so excellent for face-massage, and worked wonders . . .

Oh, no trouble was too great if the queer, restless feeling in her bosom was a true one . . . and at last, after all her years of flckleness . at last . . . she loved a real man . . . worthy of a woman's passionate devotion . "If Peter Armstrong will but let me win him, I'll know happiness I've never known before," said Miss Virginia to the lovely image in the looking-glass.

London Dealer Buys Twenty Carat Ruby

A magnificent ruby for which it is stated, $60,000 was refusedjwo years ago has come into the possession of a dealer in Hutton Garden, London. The ruby weighed nearly 20 carats in the rough and came from Burma where it was found by two natives. It has now been cut down to 7% carats and is said by experts to be one of the much-prized plgcorrs- blood color and to be one of the finest rubles found in the past ten years. _ ,

The buyer has remained anony- mous even to his fellow-dealers in Hatton garden. v .

Rubies have not been a popular stone with women in recent years. because they have not been wearing colors with which rubies would match.

But with the return of regal yel- vets and richer color schemes there is an indication that the gem will regain its favor.

'I'ho ruby for centuries nas been regarded with some superstition. George Meredith speaks of it as "the gleam of murder," and in some countries it is spoken of as the blood stone.

BROWN AND RUBY RED LEADING FALL SHADES

CRAZY AND CRIMINAL

livery thoughtful citizen must sometimes be puzzled about our collective behavior as a. society, in our treatment of certain types of person and their conduct. One would expect that such responsible parties as our legislators and judges, chosen to deal with as- pects and attitudes of our life that are vary vital would use wisdom and discretion. Yet recent events in our courts, on our streets. and in the homes of our people, seem to indicate that these supposed- to-be expert and worthy leaders of a detainee-attic society have been falling in their task.

Not so long ago, and within the borders of this litile patch of Is- land earth, among our own en- lightened and morally advanced people, a man who beat a. fellow citizen and neighbor eo viciously and violently that he died IS the result of the attack was given only the same condemnation as a. man who stole a silver fox. Now we all admit bltat foxes an valuable but did we not hear at. one time that a man is much better thanafox, or something quite the same as that? have respective valuations been -cha.nged by decree of God? or of Parliament? or of Judge?-- or by whom?

But the man was drunk! Should this be regarded as an alleviation or an aggravation of the man's conduct?

Again, a. man appeared in court who had been guilty of the unheard I of crime oi‘ treating with brutal| indignity the very corpse of a bro- that‘ man, an offence against de- dency and humanity unknown in the courts since the darker ages of human history. And the pica was made on his behalf that the man was drunk! At the some tin-to ap- peared another who had recklessly driven his ca: so that he broke up the carriage of a. fellow citizen and injured his body so seriously that he died soon after. In this case also the plea. was made that the man was drunk! .

Surely the logic of such events is this: If drinking leads to such terrible results for society, then tc drink in itself a crime so dread- ful thalt he who indulges at all must be regarded as supreme criminal, for he involves socety in unpredictable dangers. It is crazy or wiminai or bot-h to deal so lightly with this evil.

Modern Rustlers Use Motortrueks’

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11-(0. PJ-Cattle rustlers again are rd- ing the ranges of the west, but to- day they are using motor trucks and ranch owners are at their wits end to stop them.

The solution to the rustling prob- lem was simple when the west really was "wild." Then when stock- men captured rustlers, or straple- iotls characters who even looked like cattle thieves, they rendered their non-alppealable verdict quick- ly: "String ‘em w." And s. wpe and the nearest limb quickly solv- ed the problem.

Today in the Pend Oreille dis- triot of Washington, stock growers have posted rewards of $100 for infomuattion leading to conviction of a cattle rustler. The growers said they had organized to fight a “crime wave" which has been growing steadily the last few years. .

But they aren't rounding up the cattle and driving them to hilly re- treats to change the brands these days.

‘rruckem motor to the ranges at night, load one or more steers on their machine and flee. Stooicmen said the animals sometimes were killed andthe meat sold to butch- ere. In Utah, Idaho, and Eastern Oregon nistiers are periodic- ally active.

MATTHEW ROGERSON LEARD

The passing of Matthew Roger- son. Leard of Alberton, P. E. Island, on August 2nd after a short illness of pneumonia. leaves a. wide breach in community and church life.

The laic Mr. Leard was born at Tryon. P. E. Island, 81 years ago the son of Samuel Icard, and at the age of 1'1 removed to Alberton, where for 43 years he was in the employ of the late Hon. Benj. Rog- ers as accountant. Retiring from that position in 1912 he engaged in other Pursuits in which he was quite successful and continued his activities until his last illness.

Throughout all the years of his residence in Alberton his especial delillht as a. sincere Christian, whose walk and conversation were exemplary, was constantly had in earnest and self-denying scrvicefog his Lord and Master as evidenced by choir leadership of 60 years, Sunday School superintendenoe ""1 teaching or so mm and as recent years of faithful duty per- formed in the interest of the Bible Society.

On his soul birthday he sang, by request. s solo in nu clear sweet tenor voice at the service in h]; church and a chief concern during his illness on his last Sunday on "ti" was Fekarding the choir.
