For the first time in eight years she has been excluded from the list of eight society leaders who will welcome the guests at the formal spring opening of the Club. In her place Mrs. Marshall Field will head the receiving line.

CALL UP YOUR

Or Call on Him and Find Out What His Stand Is on the r School Board Question Which Comes Up for Discussion Tonight.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. How many women Interested in seeing a woman on the school board have called up their councilman and found out what the tatter's attitude is on the subject? For the matter depends entirely on how the individual members of the city council will vote. The only way to find out how they are going to vote Is to ask them. And there is no reason why they shouldn't tell you. For the doings of any councilman should be open to every person in his ward. If he evades, is vague, side-steps a direct answer and even, mayhap, shows symptoms of grouchiness over being interrogated at all and happens to more or less delicately intimate that It isn't any of your business how he votes, that that is a personal matter and he don't intend to be annoyed with questions as to what he intends to do or not do rest assured he's been in dark chamber conference with the politicians. The whole trouble with the country is this there is too much pulling down of the blinds and retiring to inner rooms, too many entrances by the alley-gate, too much tip-toeing and putting the fingers to the lips and executing mysterious high-signs. Everything done by a government of any sort, whether city up to naticAal, should be open to the light of day. This is an alleged government by the people and the people have a right to know what is going on. And it's the fault of the people that they don't know They won't take the trouble to find out. Because of the indifference of the voting body to official procedure, or its absorption in its own individual affairs with consequent neglect of necessary attention to those of the public of which it is a part, politicians have been left very much to their own devices and it wouldn't be human nature if they didn't pull the strings to suit themselves. Somebody has to run things. Then when it's too late,' the former jump up and down and froth at the mouth and howl "the corrupt politicians!" When the truth is it's they who are corrupt in neglecting their civic duties and delegating them, oftener than not, to underlings and parasites. No pity should be wasted on a body of enfranchised citizens who complain of the "corruptness" of "politics." If you'll take the trouble to look up the meaning of "politics" in the dictionary, you'll find there is no opprobium attached to the word. The shadow cast upon it has been cast by those who denounce it. They, themselves, make the shadow. Hence "politics" has come to mean "graft," "corruption," dark chamber "deals" and other linguistic stock in trade of the reformer. When the fact is that "politics" is a perfectly legitimate form of civic activity. One of the finest exhibitions of civic frankness on record was that shown by Governor Hughes who, upon taking the gubernatorial office of the great city of New York, put his desk into the reception-room where, up to that time, those seeking to see him in common parlance, "cooled their heels," many of them, until the latter were' frozen stiff, the while the Governor entrenched in an inner sanctum smoking a cigar, was only to be approached through a series of lobbies and held up by flunkies of more or less degree of authority before usher Free

ed into the awesome presence of the chief executive of the state. Hughes changed all that Anybody who wanted to see him could walk right in and say his say. This is all rather by the way, to be sure, but it's a phase of the present social complexion which is becming dominant The people want to get at the heart of things without so many intervening mediums and devious avenues of communication. Hence the agitation for primaries, the recall and other allegedly revolutionary, but really perfectly simple, procedure. To return. The "constant reader" of this paper has no doubt been informed- of the desire of the women of the town expressed through the heads of all the women's organizations and individually to take advantage of the resignation of Mr. S. S. Strattanfrom the school board and urge the appointment of a woman, Miss Sarah Hill. The question of paving a woman on the local school board was stated, the J other day at a meeting of the Fran chise League, to have been agitated for the past fifteen years. It is nothing new nor revolutionary. Women are included in the personnel of school boards in many states of the Union, have, indeed, almost entire charge bf the public educational system of the country. Are not only teachers and principals, but in a number of -instances, supertendents, as instanced frequently by the city of Chicago which has a woman at the head of its entire system. In many states women vote on school questions. As pointed out Miss Hill is eminently qualified for the position, both by practical experience as a teacher in the city schools, and by her fine qualities of mind and heart, and from the fact that she is one of the best known business women in the state, being secretary of the E. G. Hill Company. Miss Hill, while not a candidate, will accept the appointment if made. And, as the women have pointed out, Miss Hill is the woman eminently desirable, because, as stated, the women themselves do not want any woman. They recognize that any woman might be entirely unsuitable and unsuited. They are recommending Miss Hill because she is the person for the place regardless of sex. Many men of the city are in favor of the appointment of Miss Hill for the same reason. Neither are the women of the town opposing any man who may have been or will be named. They are merely urging the appointment of Miss Hill at this time on account of the resignation of Mr.S. S. Strattan, who resigns on account of continued absence from the city. In answer to many inquiries as to the exact status of the personnel of the school-board it might be said that the resignation of Mr. Strattan at this time will make two vacancies since the term of Mr. Lee Nusbaum. the treasurer, expires. The term of Dr. M. F. Johnston, the remaining member, ending a year from this date. The appointment of Miss Hill is being recommended on account of the resignation of Mr. Strattan. The matter will be brought up at this evening's session of council. Today, then, is the time to find out what your councilman is going to do. If you don't know who your councilman is, look on page 23 of the city directory and, if you also happen to Pants

know what ward you live-in. you caa locate him at once. There are eight wards represented by one councilman each and four councilmen at large. Some of these twelve have telephones, some have not This information is for any woman who may cast her eye over this column. It is the truth, however, that the writer has now and then stumbled across a man voter who didnt know what ward he lived in nor the name of his councilman. If you are interested in seeing Miss Hill put on the school board, therefore, find out from your councilman whether he is for or against her appointment and, in either event, ask him why.

CURIOSITIES OF PAIN. A Cramp In tho To May Indicate a Disordered Stomach. Pain sometimes behaves la a curious fashion. There was a soldier in London after the Boer -war who complained of excruciating neuralgic pains In his right foot. This very much amused his friends, for he had lost his right leg, and both leg and foot were long buried near Ladysmith. The explanation was that the pain happened to be in the trunks of those nerves which had sent branches to the foot. Sometimes a patient comes to a doctor complaining of pain in the knee, and he is greatly surprised when the doctor tells him that the site of the affection is not the knee, but the hip. We are all familiar with the pain under the shoulder blade which comes from an afflicted liver. The stomach, too, can produce pain in many parts of the body. A disordered stomach will give ns pain as far away as the head, and when one gets a cramp in his toe it is often due to acidity of the stomach. Swallow a pinch of soda and the cramp will disappear. An aching tooth will produce neuralgic pains in the face, and very often a violent pain at the back of the head is due to the faraway kidneys, which themselves may suffer no pain at the time. FEAST OF THE VULTURES. Magic of a Tiger's Carcass In tha Open Air In India. The vulture is seen at its best when a dead tiger, brought into camp to be skinned, is exposed in the open. Overhead is a cloudless sky and not a bird to be seen in that great void by the human eye. The tiger's body Is thrown from the pad to the ground, and before the skin has been removed there above one and always nearlng the earth are the vultures circling, poising like things ol air. now a dozen of them, in a few minutes a score or two and then a hundred strong. Then, when the flayed carcass of the tiger is left by those who skinned It the Vultures descend. Down they come like feathered thunder out of tha sky, and from east and west and north and south, the very embodiment of power while they whirl aloft and In their quick descent to earth, and now, as they waddle around that carrion beast misshapen ghouls, whose only apparent strength is that of the ravening jaws which tear and gorge the tiger's flesh until within the hour naught of that splendid brute remains but a clean picked skeleton.

THE ART OF FELTING.

It Was Developed Long Before the Weaver Was First Known. Felt is a fabric formed without weaving by taking advantage of the tendency of hair and wool to interlace and din to each other. Antiquarians state that the art ot felting was developed Ions before the weaver was first known. Felting antedates the Christian era by many centuries. , Authorities state that the feltins quality of hair or wool results from the natural structure of the material. The hair ot most animals is noticed to be more or less notched or Jacced on Its surface. This Is the more apparent when an examination of the material Is made by the aid of a microscope. Ia some animals there appears to be a set of barbs on the hair, and these barbs are so placed that the tip of each points to the end of the hair. It follows that when a number of hairs are pressed together those which lie In the opposite direction to each other will Interlock with the barbs of the bair surface and resist an effort to tear tbem asunder. When the hair has a natural tendency to curl the Interlacing process which is called felting Is more easily accomplished. Although the felting property Is possessed by wool in a special degree, other animals have It in their covering. This Is true of the goat ox. hare, rabbit and beaver. New York Sun. The Liberty Belt A correspondent of the Literary Digest avers that the famous crack in the Liberty bell Is not a crack, but only the facsimile of a crack.
