' The All Around Wonian of To -day (Paper read by Mrs.-kirke at the last meeting of the Women's Insti- tute): • It has been said that no nation ever has risen or could rise above the'level of. its womanhood, and at -the present time it is an undisputed fact that the influence •of women in every ,cont- munity is something to be reckoned with. Our young womeh, should consider seriously whether their influence is for good or evil, as it surely is one ,,or, the oth- er. Some have failed .to •realize •their responsibilities and many a young man has fallen before the sneers of a girl when a hopeful, help- _ fu l word would have saved him. We should 'remember to carry the blessing of pure womanhood into any occupation and never be ashamed of work, however humble. Our Saviour washed his disciples feet, making even the lowliest act honorable if it is,use- fill, and it is only those who are use- less or who refuee to work when they they are well able to do so whoThave no right to be in the world to burderi others. . Right leadership is the greatest need of the world today and let wom- en atand fer high ideals of purity and honor and men will try to measure up to them. • - Home -making is one of the highest occupationt- for women. To be the head of a home and the mother of a family. is 'a most honorable position., „Those •who -have known the usual type of wither, who sacrifices great- ly and lovesgreatly, can hardly .be- lieve that there is any other kinds But the word anotlaer calls up totally different images to genie boys and girls and that some mothers tipper- ently cared nothing for the company of their- children Net felt responsible onlel• for their food and. clothes and •more or ;lees foe what education they received. The revelation of this conies as a shoek to those who know the beautiful and what we believe to be the usual kind of mother. • It is a hard problem for Many `mothers to solve, that of keeping an even %elan& of indulgence. Unsel- fishness racist be insisted upon and it might he •better to risk what seems to be perhaps a little spoiling than forfeit in any way the confidences of the children. • This is a:subject which will stand considerable discussion. Dr. ..Margaret Patterson says we "cannot legislate. people into being good, but we can educate them." When plead- ing for a more careful and thorough educational program in the home and in the community. • Every boy should be instructed in the work ,for which he has,'an aptitude; she said, and every'1 should be taught the ars of home=making and motherhood ,as the highest' and* holiest of callings and declared that self-control and consid- eration ;for others are much needed lessens that ipaxents Should teach their 'children. • Crime, she averred, is only. a symptom of maladjustment, physical, mental -and social—very of- ten a combination of 'all—and the cure of crime lies in renioving the causes, which usually have their or- igin in faulty training in eltildhood. 'We all realize there is anabnormal desire for thrills among the yoling people today and • they must have amusement. People have lost the art a reading and 'wish some-mie ese to entertain them in their leistae hours. This ean be secured -with safety only by 'providing attractive and •wholesome recreation easily available 'to all young people, espec- ially those who are away fromhome. We, should teacleeour young people the necessity of thinking upon thinge that are, true, lamorable Riven/. and of good report if the would make the best contribution toward the building of this nation - for God, foP as we think in our hearts so we are. The woman of today even more than the woman of twenty-five' or thirty years ago has need for many seasons of qtdet thought and many a', prayer for guidance, especially if she be the mother -of a grow,ing family; as there are a great many more temptations thrown in the way of young people. We are living in a fast age. The automobile, which is of great seevide to mankind, can also be used to make .crime easier to be carried out The motion, pictures, which could be the 'Means of showing people many wonderful things as well at most beautiful scenery in coun- tries whichwe may never have the privilege of visiting, are often esed to show degrading' pictures 'and the advertisements are often very- hor- rible and unfit fth anyone, let alone innocent children to look at.

' To'better thicierstand, what a per- fectly developed 3,vonlan shtuld be we cannot' do -better than consider one example as -sho-xis in the life of Christ. We Are told in Luke 2:52 that "Jesup increased inwisdom, and sta- ture,and' in favor of God and innn." •This -is 'recognized by students and thinker§ as the four -fold or 'perfect all-round development • Of nature; "Wisdom" standing for intellectual development; "stature" for Physical development, "fayour with' God" re -- presenting the moral and religious side," and "favour "with man" repre- senting the social side - of Oue nature. We may stem to be overdeveloped in any me or more of these four ways, resulting in a neglect of eth- ers. But we Must face the 'fact that there a.re at birth .implanted in Each 'ofus these four essenlials and we are taking a. grave risk in neglecting any one Of them, , to, be _ any We will consider first, the social side: Sometimes we have a limited idea of the meaning of the social.life, taking it to mean Merely pleasure and recreation • enjoyed or shared 'With others. While these are quite •necessary, yet that conception of it is far from expressing all of the trutha lagoader view would be our rela- tions with or duty to our fellowman. The oldequestiori recurs: "Am I my brother's keeper " And the answer comes'that most assuredly we have greater responsibility than we are willing to assume. In children we early note the desire to play together. - This same instinct is in each" of „us, only as we grow older -we sometiines allow ourselves to become 4e1feentresIt interested in nothing which does not concern- oarselves • or our immediate family, with the result that the social side of our nature is dwarfed or crowded out, and as we live to our- selves, our own worries and -troubles seem to grow from molehills into mountaint. The surest cure for trouble or sorrow is to find someone else in trouble and try, to help and so • helping others forget otir own. • To some it -is easy to mingle with neigh- brs and friends, but others find this side of their nature-enot very well de- veloped ,and must make a painful ef- "fort to appear at least friendly. But we should make an effort to over- come this feeling, for if we stay In our shells, as it were we lose a great deal of enjoyment and help to be got from the society of others. Some one else may be 'needing our friend- ship as we need.theirs and shall we not give a friendly clasp ef t'he hand arid a cheering smile if nothing elseA To consider the religious or moral side of our • life de we notehear great deal about a double standard of morality?! That is, we are ex- pected to overlook failings a man that in ,a' woman we condemn in no uncertain terms. Nothing 51 so false as this old idea; and the same laws which govern the honor, honesty and virtue of a worhan form also -the standards by which a -man stands or falls. -But to long as we women over- look the faults in a man that.would. make us consider a weaken not fit' to associate with, just se long will there he this false standard of war., In considering the moral side we cannot overleole the religioue, which Tn most lives is closely int_erivoven with it. One great man has said "I never think of my mother apart from her religion." Nothing becomes any - One, either old (P.' goung, as a rever- ence- for sacred things, and else 'for those holding sacred offices in our churehes.

EDITOR TAILED, IN KLAN -.FIGHT Former Brucefield Boy Has Exciting Experience Which Doesn't Seem • To Have Daunted Him Much Fighting the inroads of the Ntl Klux Klan ,in Flint, Mich., which is re- ported to have centrol of that city and to hold a corner on all civio af- fah•s, has resulted in the jailing of "Tip" O'Teil, former reporter of the London Free Prest- and now editor of the Flint Daily Herald. Reports from Flint are to the effect that (fTip" O'Neil and Wm. H. McKeighan, general manager of The Herald, were arrested on Tuesday, by an under - sheriff, a member of the K.K.K., nt the instigation of the Klan Keagle, The two newspaper men were rushed to jell and, held for bail of $5,000. bail which was made more difficlut to give; in view of the fact that the 'sheriff could not be lochted to re- ceive the. money. - • The battle between the Flint Daily Journal and the Flint klan has been exceptionally bitter and is said to be one of the most diffigult fights a newspaper has ever waged. The arrest of the two_men followed a complaint of the kleagle, a man by the name of Steenbarger, who asks dafnages 'of $50,000 on the grounds_ Viet hie business and confidence of the people were reduced by articles aftearing hi the Flint Herald. In the same "Extra", of The Her - aid which announces the arrest of its general manager and editor, runs an editorial by the jailed "Tip" O'Neil answering a rumor that the leVO newspaper men ha left town tempor- arily for fear of the Man. O'Neil points out in his editorial that neith- er would leave town foe; fear of "the two hundred and ten pound fraud" Steenbarger. In the same writing the ideagle is referred to as a "big baby" ancl his henchmen "fanatical and dan- gerously lunatic, yet absolutely harm- less." It also term Steenbarger "ham" and a "first-class eoward" and his followers "vultures." 1111'11111111 MEE 111111 II, 11111 mum 111'11111111111'11111 "The Servant in • the House" Sparing you travel -trouble --it makes shopping ' • lighter I Sparing you tratel-time —it makes shopping quicker!
