But M you accomplish what | human marvel named Helen Keller, great factors. Women are no better than men, But they have different viewpoints and ideals, They are the other haif of man—the other half of humanity, They are the half that thas never yet been used. Now it will be used. Women, like the workers of the world, have learned their power and are learning unity of purpose. When women fully realize their power and use it, we shall go far toward a world where all men are free and all men are happy.” We found ourselves at this point digreasing a bit, talking of the peace treaty, the wise men of Versailles, the experiments in Government owner- ship in North Dakota, the new Btate tax, the high cost of too cream sodas and the difficulty of finding apartments. After we had settled | the questions of Prohibition, Social-) ism, Bolshevism, love, marriage, di- vorce, the Irish Republic and the lay- ing on of hands, wo returned in a finely curved swoop to the subject of reforming the universe through the movie. “You see,” went on Miss Keller, “in order to enlist women in the cause of the bloodiess revolution which 1! see coming in this country before we! are twenty years older, wo have first got to make them understand what is the matter with the world. | “Women in the mass have been too! busy with their own world to realize the needs of the vast world of which theirs is only a part, They cannot be} shown more poignantly than by pie- | turization. To see is always the most convincing way. I have not always geen, but I see now—not physically Dut with my soul. Mark Twain first taught me to eee that the world needs co-operation more than anything else, T am going to try, through my mov- jes, to make others see what he made me see. “I have'so much faith in women's Power to win men over to progres- | sive thinking,” she added with her| quick and lovely smile. “Once women | understand what's wrong with the world, they will get right to work changing things, Women will take men by the hand, so to nd drag them forward lightning-quick! We must have co-operation between the sexes, as between the classes.” ‘This reminded me of a talk Miss Koller and I had two years or so ago. Ghe said then as she ald yésterday, that the hope of the world lay in co- operation. And when I insisted upon being concrete and personal and ex- plicit and tremendously practical, and demanded to know why she did not put her theortes of oo-operation into practice, and marry some man whose views agreed with her! own, the promised #he'd think about it #e- rously—if she could get time, he even described the specifications up} to which this hypothetical running- mate must measure. He was to be “a workingman, of simple tastes,” I ro- member, “fearless and ready to make sacrifices for the sake of his fellows.” Ho was to be “of indomitable will, an optimist and a Socialist.” “Where is het” I demanded, i “Ah"—Helen laughed her cheery ripple again, “looked” at her adored and inseparable comrade Mrs, Macy’ in a wort of 8 O 8 wignal for help, and then with a motion of both hands to- | ward her piled-up work table, said “That was just a pleasantry—and a dream. 1 am too busy with all this!

Biessing and his company were called to a dangerous fire in the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Oct. 5, 1918, The submarine O-5 was afire at one of the docks, It was war time and tho sub's magazines were full of ammunition, At the first alarm all the officers and crew scrambled ashore with the exception of Ensign N.

It had previously been found im- possible for firemen not equipped with smoke masks and other pro- tective apparatus to go aboard the burning submarine.

In doth false and true croup the onset is sudden, accompanied by fright and difficulty ih breathing, sometimes going on to delirium or convulsions, therefore the treatment must be immediate, The first step is to relax the con- stricted laryngeal structures wito steam, either plain or medicated. Al- most every family in which there are children possesses a croup kettle, or one can be improvised by fitting a tin funnel into the spout of an ordinary kettle, Place the kettle of boiling water in such a position beside the little one’s crib that the steam from the funnel pours under the canopy that has been hastily thrown over the bed. An improvised croup tent can quickly be made with an open um- jbrella fastened at an angle to the head of the crib and a sheet suspended from it. An emetic will sometimes cut short jan attack. The most useful is wine of tpecac, from 5 to 10 minims in a lit- tle water, We do not want to induce vomiting, but want to give just enough to create nausea, which will often so relax the spasm of the la- rynx that the attack will soon be re- leved. (Rotch.) The atmosphere of steam not only accomplishes this purpose but causes a copious flow of secretions from the mucous membranes, which also af- \fords marked relief in most cases. (Many accidents have occurred from jthe improper management of the \gteam and from giving powerful jemetics, such as turpeth mineral. | ‘There is absolutely no excuse for jsuch accidents, for while the vapor is being directed under the tent, the { By Charlotte C.

CROUP 1919 Do Until or Comes child must not be left for a moment, and any one competent to improvise this treatment is capable of manag- ing the situation. In the absence of the foregoing measures a hot poultice applied to the neck and chest is useful and will also relieve the spasm. A sponge wrung out of hot water will do a» well. Counter-irritation of the chest with a mustard plaster, camphorated oll or turpentine are homely remedies not to be overlooked. Every household in which there is a baby should have a bottle of wine of ipecac on the bath room shelf for such emergencies. It is a perfectly gafe and harmless remedy. There is nothing more heart-rend- ing than that form of membranous croup which is accompanied by the presence of thick mucus in ‘Ye up- per air passages, If the obstruction continues or increases and nothing is done to relieve the child it will gradually die of asphyxia. Now in this disease the child has usually been ill for several days, #0 that the attack may not be altogether unlooked for—therefore, it is well to prepare for any possible emergency of this mature by having on hand a bucket containing lima No time should be lost when the child is seized with an attack to bring the mucous membrane of the throat in contact with the vapor of slacked lime. A bucket containing the same should be placed under the child's crib and a tent improvised over all as suggested above, If the little one is content only upon its mother’s lap, the vapor may be directed upon the child alone by throwing a sheet ovor the bucket and extending it over her own shoulder, Lime vapor boneycombs the mem- brane forming in the throat and af- fords further relief by its alkalinity and warmth. A spray from a steam atomizer containing equal parte of Dobell’s solution and lime water should bo constantly used on the throat at the same time, tf the breathing becomes rasping. (Keating.)
