A Column Prepared Especially for W omen—
But Not Forbidden to Men
Oh, Oh, Oh, its a lovely Club, who
wouldn't be a writer, eh? '
When a Triennial comes our way
We peek up our grips with glee, for
old and new friends we'll see,
And we'll chat and we'll sing till the
rafters Ting,
With good fellowship and cheer.
ii * *
The above isn't as good poetry as
we usually look for to adorn the top
of this column, but it has the dis-
tinction of being original with one of
- the nienlbers of the Canadian Wo-
men's Press Club, (not one of the
poet-Ynembers, by the way,) whichl
- was composed to sing at one of the
social gabherings provided for them
at the seventh triennial and thin
teenth general :meeting, held in Ot-
tawa the last week in May. On
these social occasions one doesn't
look for any very deeply' profound
utterance either in prose or verse
so this could be sung with vim by i
the ladies present, although I do not
believe that it was. It eeeuvs to me
• that on the occasion thele was not
time for it. We had to hurry off to
something else, But anyway, it was
there and would have been taken up
with enthusiasm had tirnie permitted. I
• It was, I believe, for the day on
which eve were "lunched" by the
Prime Minister that this was to be I
sung but, not wishing to .detain a
busy man listening to it, we con-
tented ourselves by singing a little
personal •ta'ibute to himself and he-
lieve me, he enjoyed it.
The triennial meeting of this' Wo-
men's Canadian Press Club does not
make so much of a sensation as one
might expect, the great outside world
`
reeks little of it. But the , city in
which it is held' certainly takes ac-
count of it and sees that the "Gentle-
women of the Press," as one speaker
gracefully described us, are well
and genoronily entertained. And the
railways have certainly always
treated the press ladies with gener-
ous and kindly courtesy,
Of course the Club meets for busi-
nese. It is an organization made. up
of women writers in every province
of. the Dominion, and every province
was represented at this gathering.
There were poets, authors, advertis-
ing writers ,editors of Foments pages
in daily, weekly and monthly pub-
lications, editors of magazines and
weekly publications, special writers,
free lances, all sorts of women who
snake a living by the pen and some
who only do a bit of writing on the
side. But you have to- do a consider-
able bit of writing to keep your.
standing as an active member, al-
though there iv provision for asso-
ciate membership for those who can-
not 'qualify for active Membership.
The Club has been 3n existence for
many years, the first 'beginnings
having seen the ljgbt of day on a C.
P.R, train when some press women,;
among' them -"Kit" of the Mail and
Empire, away back in the 1890's, dis
cussed the organization with the late
George Ham, who 'became' the one
and only male member the Club has
ever had. And, by the way, a pic-
ture of the genal C. P. R. official,
who was the friend of all press wo-
men as well as of press men ,adorned
the table in the Chateau Lam'ier in
which the convention was field dur-
jag all the sessions.
As I said the Club meets for busi-
ness and there was a fine pregram to
go through. Were were new prem-
bers to admit; almost endless amend-
ments to the constitution, until I
should think that constitution should
be nearly perfect; .speeches by mem-
bers' and visitors, election of officers,
etc. And so ihtent were the people
•of Ottawa on entertaining us that we
had hardly• time to carry on the im-
portant business -of the Club. Such
entertainments included a luncheon
by the mayor and council of Ottawa;
a luncheon by Dr. P. D. Ross of the
Ottawa Journal, a luncheon by, the
Rt, Hon. R. B. Bennett, Prime Minis-
eer and another 'by the arra, both in

STATISTICS
The criticisms which are heaped
mean statistics should be directed at
those who attempt to interpret the
• statistics' rather than at the statistics
themselves. Alter' all, statistics are
merely a'record of facts expressed in
the form; of figures. Facts are facts,
but the interpretation of facts may
be faulty.
Many people are interested in
blood pressure, For one thing, they
• want to •know what is the normal
rate.. The truth is that there is no
such thing as a normal blood pres-
• sure, Statistics give . usthe aver-
;'esge pressures of persons who are ap-
parently normal. Individually,• we
are not •average persons, and we

The .blood must be under pressure.
'in order that it may circulate. The
pressure depends upon the heart, the
blood vessels, •the blood itself and the
condition of the organs through which
the 'blood passes. Not only may the
!need pressure' be affected by changes
in all er any one of these, but it is
also influenced by the emotions.
In certain cases, increased blood
pres::•are, or hypertension, is found to
exist without any apparent cause.
The person himself is unaware of it,
and'' it isfortunate for him if it is
detected ata periodic health exam-

Such hypertension is known as an,

most commonly among those who live
a strenuous or worrying and energet-
ic life, taking no- time for relaxation.

in moderation of a wide variety of

thing whish is enjoyed provides a

Sufficient ,sleep is. essential. All of
this may be summed up by saying

OUR RECIPES FOR TODAY.
Cheese In The Picnic Basket"
The picnic season is there a-
gain and,front now on until the
leaves have changed their col-
our many a picnic basket will
be peeked, and many e. happy
family -or group of friends
will ga to the woods, the trout
streams or other enchanting
haunts to enjoy hours of leis-
ure in the great outdoors.
Some foods seem; to be just
right forpicnics— and cheese
is one of •them, -Cheese sand-
wiches are; without doubt, the
mast popular and most practic-
alway to serve cheese at a pic-
nic. It is a'good idea, and an
easy matter to vary the sand-
wiches from one .picnic to an-
-other by making use of the
many cheese fillings which
•can be se quickly and econom-
ically prepared. For tasty
and nourishing sandwiches
blend cheese --either grated
Canadian cheddar, pvoressed,
cottage or cream --with ,salad
dressing and add chopped
green pepper, green onions,
pimiento; nuts, prckbes,; Delves
or celery. Use a generous a-
mount of filling with brawn or
white bread cut to suit the oc-
cation--'in other words not too
thin, or, for a change, use the
filling in buttered tea biscuits
or rolls.
Another suggestion is to
serve plain buttered bread or
rolls in piece of the sandwich-
es; and make cheese a part of
the salad by combining .grated
cheese with the other ingred-
ienes, or by serving a cheese
dressing with the salad. For
the 'dressing blend together
equal parts' of grated Canadian
cheddar cheese, processed,
cream or cottage cheese with
salad dressing, folding in whip-
ped cream if desired. -Small
balls of oottage or cream,
cheese, slices of Canadian 'ched-
dar or processed cheese, large
prunes or celery stocks stuffed
with a cheese mixture all add
;Flavour and food value to the
picnic salad plate. And speak-
ing of salads, keep in mind that

Let me tell of the career of one
man who has made a' deep impression
on the lives of literally millions of
Persons by his spoken and written
teachings—Edward Howard Griggs,
very famous American lecturer and.
author. He decribes himself as "an
itinerant teacher." The story of his
career and work should have inspira-
tion for many a young man and youth
handicapped by poverty or a circum-
scribed invironment. It is true that
this man Griggs had a brain alto-
gether remarkable—the legacy of
parents, grand parents and great
grand parents. But assiduity in
study, purpose and endeavor, joined
to a good character, can lift to the
heights any man, irrespective of the
quality of is lineage, Let this fact
comfort and inspre {ill those who
may be nursing the view w their lot
i
and their descent are misfortunes
which nothing can alter.
* *
The lad Griggs had a restless fath-
er—a man who kept moving from one
part of the country' to another in
quest of a livelihood. And so the boy
grew up without roots, as it were,
: He had a strong liking for !Meeks, al-
waes, even in childhood. Stories at
first were his favorite reading, Then,
at 11 years of age, he acquired a
taste .for biography and hastary.'
When he was a high'*sehool entrance
age, young Griggs went to work on a
wholesale drygoods `him. From 13
to 19 he was a bookkeeper. He found
beekeeping rather dull] -work+ and
so he turned hi smind, in spare time,
to the aegiiasement of knoyledge. Yet
as a bookkeeper he acquired, through'
diligence, an amazing skill in addi-
tial,. He made himself able to add
four columns of figures at a time,
This self-discipline in speed and ac-
curacy was good fox him, in many
ways. He .formed the habit of writ-
ing
riting down in a small note -book ques-
tions which Denied .hint and then,
during his- two-mile,vaik to and front
business,, 'and at other times, he
would take one of these questions and'
strive to think eoihipletely through.

" ing one of the most joyous 'activities
of human life."

versity„even though he had never at-
tended a high school and had never
matriculated, A university accept-
ed him as a student on condition that
he should make-up his entrance re-
quirements as he went along. At the
end. of his second year, Griggs' had
four years of college credits and had
made up all his entrance require-
ments. He asked the faculty to grad-
uate him, and it did reluctantly, find-
ing no rule that this could not be
donee But the faculty straight away
Made a rule that never again should
a student be allowed to graduate af-
ter an attendance of only two years!

Griggs became a, teacher at sum-
mar schools, and later an instructor
in mathematics' at his alma mater,
Later he went to Stanford Univer-
sity as a professor in the department
of ethics. At the end of his first
year he was granted a leave of ab-
sence for a period of study in Eur-
ope. On his return he did much lec-
turing at Ohatauqua gatherings and
in connection with university exten-
sion activities: "With growing ex-
perience in it,” Mee Griggs said,

I warmly commend all beaks by Dr-
Griggs to young people vexed with
the problems of life "The aim in my

Up in the big house, alone with my
sorrow,
I mourned for today, and I feared for
tomorrow.
The walls seemed a prison, a captive
my soul,
And courage and strength ebbed be-

Dawn by the seashore the tide was. -.
My heart took new courage, and
ceased from its mourning;
Giving hope for tomorrow and
strength for today;
The wind took my 'sorrow and blew
it away,

LARGESS
How can there be a -fairer thing
Than flowering fruit -tree in. the

A cloud of clustered pearl and gold
Too heavy for a branch to- hold,
And yet as light as scented air,
As pink as sunrise, and as fair.
She stretches out her laden arms
And offers largess of her charms
To every vagrant passer-by,
To child and bird and cloud and sky.
And he who looks and he who takes
May keep forever what she makes
Of beauty in his listening heart:
She holds no residue apart.
And this is strange: though day and
day
She gives her scented self away
In beauty, sunlit showered; driven,
She given—,and keeps what she has:;
