Tomorrow afternoon the grounds of Mr. and Mrs. John Holbbook Habdin, at Sheridan road and Mary street, Hubbard Woods, will be the scene of a garden party, given for the benefit of Grove House for Convalescents, situ- ated In Evanston. This institution, not entirely char- itable, for a small sum is charged for residence in it, is filling a great uvea in the north shore communities by iving to women recovering, but not yet possessed of sufficient strength to meet the stress of their lives at home, an opportunity to recuperate under favorable conditions. Many times it is quite impossible for patients to be kept in public hos- pital institutions during the critical days of convalescence. They are dis- charged and returned to their homes; where the Importunity of tasks need- ing to be done, children demanding at- tention, and the many cares which , may have necessitated the Beason under hospital care, sap the little vitality which has been recovered by the weeks or days of absence from the household demands. To such ?f?women the boott of an Institution of ^ffeSfefe tho nature of Grove House is ines- timable. To the homeless woman, who has neither family nor friend to f|| %care for her in illness, nor money for ~ season in a sanitarium, lnatitu- # tlons such as Grove House, in which v she may fight the battle back to j*^|jf health, mean the difference between ^|0» home and] utter desolation. P|j; | The donors of Grove House, the 5|J|ii:^patronesses of the garden party, and p||^ the guests of that occasion are recog- nizing the great need which the insti- tution to be benefited, financially, by ^^^m^^.c(aJheikmk»ur:iB-imng.

It is war, and not a truce, that the Woman's vote means to the industry which It directs. * m m FLIES ASD THEIR COST. Government experts who have been observing the activities of the house fly and tlnir accompanying results have reckoned the price to the nation of harboring the familiar little pest to j be $157,2<iO,<'<.'U, a tidy sum to pay for J something that nobody wants. Tickling baby s nose and buzzing on i the window iiaue are but side-issues j in the busy life of the fly. He gives his real attention to an unprejudiced distribution of tuberculosis germs, with typhoid and the many intestinal infections by way of variety. The scientists who have computed the ravages of the fly in terms of dollars, distribute the entire sum thus: $GO,000,000 for handling tuberculosis casts, $To,(miO,000 for typhoid, and $37,- 200,000 for intestinal diseases. The cost thus estimated is startling enough, but when one adds to the mono- loss, the sum of suffering and deprivation which so much disease must occasion, the astonishing result (/tight to produce immediate action to- ward the eradication of a devastating torce of such magnitude.8 * A concerted "clean up" campaign will effectually reduce the numbers of the fly and, in proportion, his ravages upon a too friendly humanity. Public education in the matter of his serving as a carrier of disease and filth, a con- stant agitation of the subject by maga- zine and newspaper publications, teach- ing the children in schools and the parents In the home on every possible occasion, are necessary steps toward the complete eradication of the fly. More important, perhaps, 'than any other one preventive of fly propagation is a sanitary disposition of the waste in thickly populated communities. The handling of a city's garbage In an insanitary manner adds its might to the maintenance of the fly cost at $157,- 200,000 annually and brings Its burden of preventable disease to the city. The employment of a system more in ac- cord with modern principles of sani- tation would tend to reduce it and, at the same time, add considerably to the health and happiness and comfort of the people. m * * SUPERVISION OF, PLAT. In tho bulletin issued last week by the North Shore Juvenile Protective Agency, a plea is made for suitable chaperonage of the young people just escaping from the restrictions of childhood. The voice of experience speaks in the words of the message, the experience of long dealing with the victims of a lack of proper super- vision, instruction, or restrictions, broken-hearted parents of wayward boys and girls. It is always difficult for one to Imagine disaster striking home, and yet a realization of the immensity of peril which may fall anywhere is the only absolute safeguard of those responsible for guiding a boy or girl through the difficult period between childhood and early maturity. It is a [Representative Thomson! to His Constituents m growing recognition of the need for vanrurt for 4b^-granting^>f the Tiallotr} adult supervision over theleisure o* play time of the young people of a community which has developed the idea of supervised playgrounds and the many social enterprise's Instituted, for the wholesome recreation of our boys and girls. .Mayor HAnnuoir, of Chicago, is now advocating women po- lice officers for duty on bathing beaches, dance halls and other places where boys and girls congregate in a social and informal wayâ€"simply sup- plying a municipal chaperon, whose authority will be recognised, and who has power to back her protest against questionable conditions.

C, July 7.â€"After the tariff bill had been passed by the house there remained nothing for it to do until a banking and, currency bill was introduced or until the sen- ate had acted on the tariff and re- turned the bill to the house. Many members, therefore, returned to their homes. The house convened every three days as required by law, the senate being in session, but no busi- ness other than routine matters was brought up, the floor leaders of the three parties agreeing in open session that no business would be done until June 1. a date which was later ex- tended to June 23, on which date I returned to Washington. v All committee assignments have now been made. I have been given a place on the following three commit- tees: Public lands, expenditures in the navy department and enrolled bills, The only matter of Importance now pending before any of these com- mittees is a bill giving the city of San Francisco the right to build a dam in the Hetch Hetchy valley In the Yose- mite National park, which is being considered by the committee on public lands. The committee held sessions every day for a week at which all the conflicting interests presented their views. The dam is to create a lake for use by the city as a source of wa- ter supply. Although it has been agreed that the tariff and banking and currency are the only subjects of leg- islation to be considered at this spe- cial session, it may be that unanimous consent will be asked for the consider- ation of this Hetch Hetchy water pro- ject bill as soon as the committee has reported It. If .any of my readers are Interested in the banking t and currency ques- tions, and would like to see the pend- ing bill, I shall, of course, be very glad to send them a copy of it if they will drop me a line. The bill has been introduced in the house and has been Bent to the committee on banking and currency. v ' I am told that this is the sixth con- secutlvo year in which congress has been in session throughout the sum- mer. Wliile I have heard some ter- rible tales about Washington as a summer resort, I have as yet not ex- perienced any hotter days than are frequently our lot at home. While we do not bav« good old Lake Michigan at our door, the ocean is not ao very far away and we enjoy a delightful east breeee -which brings In the ocean air. The beat seems to affect the south- ern members of congress most. They have a habit of taking it out on the street car employes. During one week there were no less than four clashes l»etween street car conductors anil southern members of the bouse or Ben- ate. One of them attempted to open a window vhich would not open, so he calmly sat down and with one swing of his elbow sent the glass shattering into the street. The conductor natur- ally remonstrated with him, where- upon the member began to work his elbow oh the conductor. A member of the house from Missis- sippi presented a transfer the other day which the conductor contended was not good at that point. The con- ductor demanded another fare. It was refused. The car was stopped and a lot of argument ensued, the passenger refusing to leave and the conductor not Inclined to force him off. The car proceeded to the next transfer point, where the conductor called a super- ^-vlsor into consultation and another wrangle took place, the supervisor ex- plaining that the conductor was right, and the passenger inviting them to throw him off, for he was itching to make a test case of it. Finally, a housewife on the car, considering her errand of more moment than the pas- senger apparently did his business, jumped up and said; ; V "See here, I've been delayed long enough. Here's the poor man's fare. Now, for goodness sake, go ahead." Sty handed the conductor, a dime. He promptly save the signal to go ahead and rang up the fare. Upon handing a nickel back to the woman she refused it and asked the conductor to present if to the passenger who had delayed them all so long, saying she would "hate to see him out anything." To say that tho gentleman from Mis- sissippi w« greatly embarrassed is putting it itttidlylMife ^;:;-v--:'^':y/C KAY BECOME LAW DEAN XT SCHOOL Well-Known Evanston Woman and Suffragist Leader Has Been Tendered Position at Chicago Col lege of Law. HAS NOT YET DECIDED Mrs. Catharine Waugh McCulloch. Evanston's foremost woman attorney, framer of the Illinois equal suffrage bill and prominent throughout the na tion for her activity in the fight for woman suffrage, has been tendered thu place as dean of law relating to women In the Chicago College of Law in Chi- cago. She has not yet decided whether she will accept the offer. Her deci- sion will • depend largely upon the amount of time she will be forced to devote to the position. As is well known in Chicago and Evanston, Mrs. McCulloch has a large and lucrative practice in the city and probably transacts more legal busi- ness than any other woman attorney in the middle west. She will decide concerning the honored position when it is known definitely how much of her time it will take to attend to the duties in the law school. New Law Responsible. The passage of the equal suffrage bill In Illinois probably has had much to do with the creating of the chair in the Chicago Law college for a de- partment for women. In Beeking Mrs. McCulloch to fill this place, the au- thorities of the college have selected a woman who is thoroughly con- versant with all of the detailed duties which will devolve upon the depart- ment head. According to an outline of the work to be conducted In the new section, two or possibly three day classes will be conducted each .week In elementary law pertaining to women. These classes will not be limited t women students, but prob- ably will include all students in the the who bar* not yet nml elementary study. '.'i'iW^^t The department Is intended to in- terest the women in the law of the state and nation. A course of lectures ozuthe modern and local political and legal Issues will be given by Mrs. Mc- Culloch, should she accept the ohair. This course of talks will be invaluable even to women who do not lttjtend to take up the profession of law, but who wish to become conversant with legal and .political Issues. Not Yet Decided. "I have been unable yet to reach any decision about accepting the place tendered me by President J. J. Tobias," said Mrs. McCulloch. "I do not know bow much of my time the duties of the position would take up and consequently cannot tell whether or not I will enter upon the duties." Mrs. McCulloch has devoted much time during the last few months to giving free public lectures to north shore school teachers and other women Interested In the study of law. A few months ago she organised the teachers along the north shore and, until a few weeks ago, gave lectures each week on timely topics concern- ing political and legal subjects. The Chicago College of Law Is rec- ognized as one of the strongest insti- tutions of Its kind In Chicago. Judge Richard S. Tuthill of Evanston is one of the directors and gives lectures to the students. Many other prominent Chicbgo attorneys are identified with the college. Coat of Ocean Cables.
