cises will commence at 8:15 o'clock
Thursday night. Among the members
of the class are many of the prominent
athletes and ruling spirits of the in

ment fund has been increased consid
erably during the paBt year.
The monument is to be erected in the
plaza in front of the building as soon
as the necessary capital has been
raised.
NEW HOUSEKEEPING
"WAY URGED FOR WOMEN
Uses of Various Labor-Saving Devices and Expenditure of Time Gained to
Be of More Use in World Is Advocated.
ANEW housekeeping has come Into
our homes. Is It in yours?
And If not, why not? Because
you are too remote to get in touch with
it? Or because you are quite satisfied
.with your present methods?
These questions are not asked Imper
tinently. They are asked in all earnest
ness and good faith. Because if you
do not know about the new housekeep
ing you may be glad to hear about It.
And if you are acquainted with it but
have put it aside ydu may upon a lit
tle further consideration of it find It
worth while adopting.
Every housekeeper has accepted with
our question certain phases of the new
housekeeping. And as a rule, she has
accepted these phases gladly. Few
housekeepers nowadays weave their
own linens or make their own candies
or smoke their own hams though this
latter may still be done in the home in
certain parts of the country. But these
parts of housekeeping aa a rule have
gone out of our homes long ago.
Getting closer to our own times, a
large percentage of housekeepers, if not
the majority of them, buy bread and
rolls made outside the home, have their
washing done at laundries, have much
of their clothing especially their coats
and suits and stockings and underwear
made ii factories. The pickling and
preserving are done by others. Within
the last GO years a large amount of the
housekeeper's work has marched from
the home to factories.
Compared with what our grandmoth
ers did, who sewed rags for their car
pets and spun their linens and made
candles and baked and brewed, it would
seem as if the housekeepers of today
have little to do. Lights are switched
on, bread and ice cream ordered from
the bakery, hemstitched and embroid
ered linens bought ready to lay on the
table, the laundry called for and re
turned. Nothing, it seems, is left for
her to do but to press a button or use
the telephone.
But this very change has brought
about the new housekeeping, the house
keeping of supervision and the house
keeping that uses all the labor-saving
devices that modern invention has given
the home.
If our bread and butter are made out
side of the home, if our clothes art
made and washed by- alien hands, we
need to know how these things are
done.
But if we are so situated that this
phase of the new housekeeping does
not come within our domain, we may
still take advantage of another fea
ture of it. .abor-fcaving machinery
and efficiency methods are today as
much a part of the new housekeeping
as is work outside of the home. There
are devices now to lighten almost every
branch of housework washing ma
chines, electric irons, vacuum cleaners,
dustless dusters, quick methods of
cleaning silver, bread mixers what
hasn't been thought of to make easy
the task of housekeepers? Yet many
women dismiss all these with a shrug
and say, "Oh, I've always done it this
way," or "I don't bother with these
new-fangled things," and drudge along
with the methods and utensils of 60
years ago
But why not measure up to the new
housekeeping in all its phases take
our share of the community work that
has lifted such burdens from our shoul
ders, if this cornea within our province;
or take advantage of the helps that
win lift still more, or perhaps do both.'
There is no virtue in making a Sisyphus
stone of housekeeping. Let's do our
housekeeping as well as It can bo done;
but in achieving this result let's make
use of all the time-saving and energy
Ravin? aids possible, and so have time
and energy in uty left for the many
other things life offers to gladden and
enrich our days.
DEAD CAN PROLONG WAR
Men and Animals Slain Would Yield
Xeeded Glycerine.
CHICAGO, June 15. Albert Oppen
heim, of Marietta, O., a member of
the Western Nitroglycerine Manufac
turers' Association, discussing means
for increasing the production of gly
cerine, an essential element in all high
explosives, suggested using the bodies
of the horses and men killed on Euro
pean battlefields to obtain the neces
sary animal sinews.
It was declared that the war was
necessitating the use of so much gly
cerine that the entire supply in the
United States would be exhausted
within 90 days.
If the glycerine is entirely used up,
speakers said, it will have not only
an important effect on the' war, but
much work, such as the development
of oil wells, will be stopped.
Members discussed a plan for pool
ing their interests.
"No explosive aside from nitrogly
cerine has the shattering effect neces
sary for shooting oil wells," said Mr.
Opperiheim. (
"Glycerine is produced from bat one
source animal sinews and there is
no 'way of increasing the production
unless we can make use of the bodies
of the horses and men killed on the
field of battle.
"In normal times the United Btates
imports from Kurope 10.000,000 worth
of crude glycerine annually. This sup
ply has been entirely cut off."
DUEL FOUGHT OVER WOMAN
Mother and Babe Crouch as Shots
'"'Whizz by Overhead.
NEW" YORK, June 14. Pedestrians
near Third avenue and One Hundred
and Fourth street recently saw two
men shoot at each other over a woman
and a child who crouched trembling
on the sidewalk.
Mrs. Rose Sleser, with her 10-year-old
daughter, Belle, was walking north
ward on the avenue when a man who
called himself Frank Flynn pulled out
a revolver. She turned to see Frank
Jefferson, just behind her, draw a pis
tol. Realizing she was in line of the
men's fire, she dropped upon the side
walk, pulling her daughter down be
side her. An instant later Flynn's re
volver flashed and a bullet whizsszed
close above the woman and child.
The duel was witnessed by Police
Captain Brady and Lieutenant Thomp
son, who pursued a car which Flynn
boarded for two blocks and arrested
him. A revolver was found on him.
Jefferson also was held.
The police say the snootinpr was the
outsume of a recent cocaine sale.
