She was a very intelligent woman, quick and' scintillating wit. Her society was eagerly sought by the young people, and among the pupils in her school she was the object of much affection. She was married In Alton to Harry Mackinaw and gave np school teaching.

There was perhops no one' woman in Alton who was -more popular than she at the time she was married, nor in the years to follow, she was a great asset to her husband, in helping him realize his ambitions. Harry Mackinaw was a glassblower. He sought to rise in the glassblower's organization. He began to develop a talerit for making good speeches They, attracted attention. There Ws' 'report' tna't" Harry Mackinaw was going through the experience that was afterwards the subject of one of the bept stories James M.

Barrie ever wrote, "What Every Woman Knows." There is no doubt about it that Mrs. Mackinaw was the source of much of the inspiration that was put in the speeches ot her There is no doubt, either, that she was the guiding power that shaped much of his course, in public life. When he became a candidate for post in the glassblowers' national organization it was Mrs. Mackinaw's influence behind him that spurred him on.

1 You are more safe down in the factory with the machines hum ming and the steam- hissing with the noise and the supposed perils, than you arc in your home. That's what Oliver T. Tremmera, president ot the St. Louis Satety Organization told the Rotarians at their luncheon at the Mineral Springs this riibon. Thd reason.you are not safe at the factory, all its supposed perils, is that there are safety precautions taken there, while at home there are dark stairways, Illy lighted attics and Illy lighted baslments and perhaps a can of gasoline sitting right in the Mr.

Tremmers says a gallon can of gasoline is equal to Bixty-ftVe' pounds ot dynamite when you" turn it loose. Likewise he said that a static spark, when one is cleaning a woolen dress or coat with gasoline, may set off the vapors and burn the woman doing the work and fire the house. That's why home, happy as it is-and comfortable as it is, is the place to he after all, BO far aa safety Is concerned. Statistics show a long list of burned to death In the-home vas 68 14 fvioh perils. Talking of the.atdtic sjmrk, that was why the gasoline trucks a chain dangling down to the ground from their rear, to ground the static spark instead of blowing up the tank of gas; Mr.

Tremmers asked Rbtlry to safety council here and Join the great work which he says is a Godly work of saving lives. He believes that continuous teaching of safety measures finally.makes a child a safety emlsary In home, on Street and. at school, and that the seed will be sown. Mr. Trera mers told a story on repetition ot a German who often called at the St Louis courthouse, vwho was named and they never could remember his name, and when asked would always ahswer: Ach, Just write 'Sche' then 'm" ft of times, then 'L' a couple df times, then 'fe' then 'N' a couple of times, then and then 'Q' a couple, of times and dots it' 1 He wants everyone in Alton to think and re-think and always practice safety in home, on street and in factory and office.

TIME EXTENSION FOR LOAN ASKED War Corporation Help, Private Finance Body, and Assistance Through' Federal Agency. By WASHINGTON, Jan. steps for the relief of the agricultural situation in the Northwest, some to be taken by Congress, some by the executive branch of the government and some by private interests were outlined by President Ooolldge today in a special message to Congress. The steps Include: Refunding ot the pressing past- due indebtedness of the farmer in the territories most seriously affected. Financial assistance through a federal agency to enable wheat farmers to make the change from a single crop system to diversified farming.

Restoration, wherever it would be helpful, ot the impaired capital of banking institutions in the sections. Cjeatlon by private capital of a substantial financing corporation to assist In the plan of reorganization. of the time during which the War Finance Corporation can make loans. Mr. Coolidg'e told Congress these were measures "by which, without nl but noyer tneless promptly and effectively we cmr.

bring to bear on" a serious though happily; a localized emergency, every the federal government and all the which the business and farming community can render." Acute Reached. Tho economic situation in certain wheat growing sections of the Northwest," the president said, "is reaching an acute stage that requires organized corporation on the part of the federal government and the local institutions of that territory.for its solution."

"Many farmers are, 'however, in ch jeopardy from their creditors that this assistance there Is no assurance that they would have a sufficient period in which to work out the necessary conversion of their methods and, It would be useless to give to this group such governmental assistance if it is to be only for purposes of immediate seizure by the creditors.

LESS THAN 30 NAMES MUST BE SECURED Chairntan A. W. Sherwood Sees Vindication Near for Theory that 300 Supporters were Obtainable That the Alton chapter ot the American Red Cross and the Visiting Nurse Association would achieve the goal they had set in their campaign for funds to sustain the two organizations dur.ng the year, seemed certain today after a meeting last evening of the Red Cross directors had heard reports of success so tar. It was stated today by A.

W. Sherwood, the chairman of the drive, that the goal of 300 memberships with each had been 90 per cent He said that it was a little better than 90 per, cent, but that he was making allowances for some hopes that might not be realized and he was placing the num her of memberships at 270 at this time. The number set as the figure at which all subscriptions would be validated Is 300. Mr. Sherwood said that steps would be taken to complete the list, and make it a round 300 sustain'ng memberships for the Alton Red Cross and the Visiting Nurse Association.

Pros- are good for closing the gap between the goal and where the directors were told the campaign had reached last night. Many of those who subscribed to the campaign have sent in their money, apparently not regarding any validating figure, but willing that the fund for the local assoclat ed charities should receive the benefit of cash contributions when their need was the greatest. At the time the campaign was launched both these "two organizations were.practically at the end of their resources. They had attenuated their finances to a point where they would scratch no further debts had, begun to pile up. y.siting Nurse Association was little better off than the Red Cross Ijtrtnot much.

It was a surprise to everybody when A. W. Sherwood! elected to take charge of the drlVe for members, that 300 would be made the validating figure. It was said to be too h'gb, that there were not 300 people in Altqn who would give $50 each to any cause.

Mr. Sherwood said there should be, and he there- was. and would demonstrate it.

It is a fact that almost all the public beneficences in Alton have been supported comparatively small number of people, while many who be able to give have not contributed. The directors have decided to go ahead in their efforts to raise the balance needed for flie support of these two associated charities of Alton, after "discussing the whole subject at a special meeting of the d.rectors last night.
