renlnsula Has Successful Night
School.
- The night school carried on at Fen
, -insula school this year has proven a
grreat BuccesH. At the beginning of
the school year the Parent-Teacher as
sociation, in -response to. numerous
requests, asked the school board for
a night school, including dressmaking
and millinery.
As similar requests from other
schools had been denied, this was not
granted. The manual training classes
and academic courses were open to
. night classes, but the teaching of the
domestic arts had to be taken up by
the association.
Students were asked to pay 10 cents
a lesson, ' and teachers were at once
engaged. Miss Hudson to teach dress
making and Miss Short to teach mil
linery. Both of these classes have
been extremely successful, there being
-12 enrolled in' the former and six in
the latter Much interest has been
shown and excellent work has been
i. accomplished. " The women 'feel; how
ever, that the classes have not quite
filled the heed. Inasmuch as the ones
who most needed the lessons were
barred' on 'account of the charge.
' It is-hoped that by next year some
arrangements may be made for mak
ing the lessons absolutely free: There
is a small" deficit in the treasury at
this time and the association and the
school is planning a presentation of
"Mrs. Lester's Soiree," to be given
about the :-middle of April, the pro
ceeds to be used to liquidate this debt.
Mrs. Herbert Bushneil yr -the presl
dent of this association and" Mrs. II.
- Ritchie is treasurer of the night
school. The association has served an
excellent purpose in bringing together
the people of the Peninsula nelghbor-
hood, making them better acquainted
: and arousing interest in the welfare
of the-school.
; ; Cliarlotte Perkins GUman to
Lecture.
Under the auspices of the Oregon
Civlo league, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins
Gllman will lecture this evening at
the Y. M; C. A, auditorium on "War
and the World Hope."
George Bernard Shaw and his wife
are warm personal friends of Mrs.
Gllman and keep up a lively corre-
spondence .with her when she is hot
with tbem. Shaw and his wife and
their circle of brilliant friends rate
Mrs.' Gllman as the foremost woma
..' of letters of America, even as does
; our own dean of American letters,
W. T. Howells. .
Hilliare Belloc, in reviewing some
of Mrs. Gilman's work, speaks of her!
'Irresistible logic," her "brilliant and
unanswerable arguments" which set
tie the contention that God has set ai
limit to woman's sphere and appointed
men as her guardians to see that shej
- keeps within bounds. She has proven
that the attempt to limit women serves
"only to limit the heritage of intellect
and ability of the sons of men and
women."

Made Into Comedy
Two domestic dramas and one ro
mantic comedy make up the offering
which closes at the National tonight.
If such a thing can be imagined, Ten
nyson's "Lady of Shalott" has been
made into a comedy by the Vitagraph
company with Flora Finch doing the
Ladyi It is a dejlghtful film and one
that brings spontaneous laughter. "The
Blessed Miracle" is a Lubin built on
the theme of a childless marriage
where children: are much desired.
Through lack of them the husband is
about to .be lured from home ties by
another woman when the-wife realizes
that their wish Is to be consummated.
On his return from Europe the hus
band finds a little one has arrived and
happiness is restored. "Barriers Swept
Away" is a Kalem that deals a blow
at too easy divorces that are secured
on "incompatibility of temperament."
The young husband secures the sepa
ration in this case, but his freedom
palls and he remarries his wife
Hearst-Selig Weekly completes the
bill. ;

One of our fellows who had been

Then the wounded man would lie on
the straw until nightfall, for it was
necessary ' to carry liim through the
firing zone to get back to the infirm
ary, which was another littlej house In
a town a mile distant. He would either
be wheeled along the towpath of the
canal on a stretcher made of two baby
carriages which were connected by a
board, or a "Charon" would earry him
in an old boat. "Charon" was an old
French peasant with long white whisk

Thirty Miles to the Train.
If the wounded men were jstill alive
by this time they would be put into a
Red Cross wagon or automobile or
some other sort of . a vehicle and
carried 30 miles to a large torn (which
I cannot, for obvious reasons, name)
and here they would be put in the
next Red Cross train and started. The
bed in the train might be a seat in the
third, second or first class- coach"; or,
if a man was lucky, it might be a
sheeted bed in a regular Red Cross car.
At last the train will pull nto Paris
or some other distant city oif France,
where there are big hospitals. Scores
of ambulances will be waiting in the
railroad yards. The ambulance attend
ants will be running around, each seek
ing out the wounded, who fre to be
assigned the hospital which !he repre
sents. To them he is only a number,
or perhaps a chalk mark on the door
of the car. They will put him -on a
stretcher, place him In a hijge motor
ambulance, perhaps with one or two
other men who have been wounded on
distant battlefields, and the1 car will
race through the streets of the city to
the hospital, which once seemed to the
sufferer so many miles away, and
where the warm white beds, gentle
nurses, flowers and no responsibility
await him. j
First Chance to Smile.
It is no wonder that the! wounded
men who reach the hospital wards
sink back onto the pillows with a srgn
of relief and smile when they! catch the
first glimpse of the white nui-ses. Look
back at the Journey he has taken sinee
that moment he was hit in the trenches
and you can understand how a hos
pital ward looks like heayen to a
wounded soldier.
To get into a hospital is one of a
soldier's dreams, and there are strict
laws in all armies against men wound
ing themselves. In the French army
this self-wounding is knowti as "mu
tilation" and the punishment! Is death.
In our regiment an ex-convict who had
been released after serving
in order to permit him to
15 ' years
enter the
army, persuaded another
soldier to
shoot him through the hand. In re
turn for this favor, he' also punctured
the hand of the soldier. .Wrhen they
came to have their wounds dressed the
doctors noticed powder marks on the
mangled hands, and the- truth came
out. Both men were executed.

near to; it as he dared to go. and in
doing so he made a discovery, j Fas
tened to the trunks of the big maple
trees were tin pails. That was curl
ous. He scowled at them suspiciously.'
By .and by his curiosity got the best
of him and very cautiously he peeped
into one. It was almost empty, but in
the bottom was a little, a very j little,
liquid that looked like water. He
sniffed at It and then he knew) what
it was. It was the sweet sa'p from the
maple tree. He had sometimes "found
it dripping from a broken branch. He
ran his long tongue into- the pail and
lapped "up the very last drop. Buster

It was .empty. So was the next and the
next and a lot more. Buster was just
about to give up and go back and see
what was going on at the little house
when he came to a pail brimming full
and running over. With a great sigh
of happiness Buster took that pail in
his big paws and drank everyi drop,
and then licked out the inside of the
pail.' Then he dropped it and It fell
with a clatter that frightened him so
that he wanted to take to his j heels.
But he didn't. He just held his
breath and kept perfectly still, i
