There are innumerable lodging houses and missions and bread lines for old men. One of the most baffling problems of every large city is what to do with the old and decrepit men, the tramps, the vagabonds.

But what of the old women? No one seems to hear anything about them. When there are so many charities for the benefit of the aged man, why are there so few for the aged woman? Go down the Bowery, or Third avenue, and you will see countless dingy lodging houses, where tramps can Spend the night for 5 cents begged from the passerby, ftut how few such I places there are for women! I have asked several of the mission and charity workers about what becomes of the old women. They seemed puzzled. They really do not know. Their only answer is that there seems no need of many charities for old women.

But why? There are far more women in all eastern states than men. So where are all the wives and sisters of these men who fill the bread lines and East Side lodging houses? The only answer is that, women, however old and Every night and early morning finds an army of gray-headed, stoop-s'nouldered women scrubbing the floors of the huge office buildings all over the city. When they are too old to be hotel maids or work in factories or sweat shops, they do not become tramps and beggars as do the men. But they take up the scrub brush and pail and spend the rest of their days on their knees, scrubbing through untold hours for just enough to keep life in their weary old bodies. Go through any large building, hotel, apartment, or office, early in the morning.

and on every few floors you will find a kneeling figure, a gray head and work-rounded shoulders, bending the rcrub brush. She will draw aside her pail to let you pass, gazing up a dazed sort of way. Nothing seems to me quite so pathetic as just the way these poor old women move their pails and look up at you as you pass. There is nothing of appeal or supplication In their expression. They have so long been hurried by, that they expect nothing else.

They are only a part of the cleaning machinery of the building. No one ever thinks of those kneeling figures as women. And when they look up at you (sometimes they are too weary to even raise their heads), it is only with the dazed blankness of sensibilities diulled by years "of misery and want. And if you stop and slip something into her hand, so unused is she to receive any help that she may be too surprised even to mumble her thanks. The Picture of a Orudgre.

Compare this old woman with the men of her age and class who beg from 3 rou on the street and exhaust the city charities. She is self-supporting. She WORKS. She is not a tramp or a supplicant. She does not haunt the missions and bread lines.

She is earning her wretched a living it may be. And she is earning it honestly and by the hardest drudgery a woman can do. And yet she is gray-haired and weak and rheumatic! If she was your mother or grandmother you would think her too old and frail for even the lightest work. Do you know of anything more deserving of help than this great army of bent-shouldered, gray-haired scrub wefaen? What can be done for them as a wholfc? I do not know. I am not a sociologist.

I have no new theories for solving the problems of the poor. But I do know this. If each of you who reads this article would help In some small way the scrub woman who washes up the office in which you work, it would bring a little happiness tc a great many pitiful old women whose lives are more wretched than you know. Young Girls Of Today By MONSEIGNEUR HENRY E0L0. ENELON, who was the most admirable and also the most advanced prelate of his time, said that young society girls should be taught to be less timid, to read and write correctly.

Ilia wish has been mofe than fulfilled, we have indeed gone far beyond it. Our ycung society girl3 of today are no longer very timid and almost all are very well educated. Even if this advance were not accounted excellent, ore must allcm that it exists, and it must be submitted to. It is true that many of theso amiable juveniles, cured of timidity, exaggerate their recovery. I am told that certain salons are frequented by young girls of good birth, but bad breeding, who affect language and conduct which shock even the yoTir.g men.

The little creature with a shy laugh has disappared from history; another species is attempting to replace it, one which Schopenhauer would have called the with a pig- But because this young girl of today liberties like an American, flirts like an English girl, reads like a Norwegian, is omnivorous and versatile as a iuissian, uses her eyes like a Spaniard, and tomorrow may be-dressed like a Turk, this is not enough to conclude that she i3 quite French or even quite Parisian. There is then for us two things to do: First, to encourage this admirable irtellect.ua 1 progress, which had cured our modern young girl of frivolity, guided her toward a higher ideal, made her more conscious of the important part she has to play in the family as well as in society, and which has made it impossible for her to remain satisfied with being a uspless ornament oi charming parasite. Bossuot, remembering the Biblical tradition called her a supernumerary bone. Then we must declare war against this odious v.ay of thinking, behaving and speaking, which is characteristic o' the young girl, who has become a thorn in the flesh of tlie.se who still I b'ave reiurnrts of principles left, and the plaything of those who no longer respect anything.

Editor El Paso Herald: I noticed on your editorial page a few days since a brief comment on the misbehavior of many children at the band concerts which we are so fortunate in having at this time.

My wife and I are both lovers of music, and when it Is possible we go to Cleveland square to enjoy the good grade of music which the regimental bands are treating El Pasoans to; we have missed very few evenings in fact. In every case the children, both boys and girls, but more the former, are in evidence, and among these quite a number, 10 and 12 years old, apparently, begin their romping immediately prior to the first number The first burst of seems to be the signal and furnish the incentive for redoubled efforts on the part of these young rowdies to, if possible, drown the sound of the music by means of shouts, catcalls, etc. Not satisfied with these alone, some discordant rattles of lound sound have used by many, and a continual game of hide and seek is played among the crowd who attend to enjfiy. In these rushes between those gathered at the park many women are bumped into recklessly, feet trampled upon and the shouting is kept up continually. This is extremely provoking and, as you state, the remedy must be applied in the home.

There is a strong evidence that some of theso children are loose on the streets by parents who do not care; there may be many whose parents would correct if they knew, but the fact remains that these should not have the privilege of taking those times for their ndisy play at that particular place. There are some grown people who have no ear for music personally. I never want to have business dealings with such, for there always been a strong conviction in my mind that they are untrustworthy this may be a misfortune but, as stated, children should be taught to appreciate music and be to some extent prepared to be receptive to its refining influence. It would be a pleasure to me to applied a solution to this problem, which we seem to be up against for the summer. Very truly, E.

FIGHT ON FLIES NOW WIDESPREAD (Continued From Pape Five.) gradually Instead of suddenly, as It would have done If It had been the result of bad food. Innumerable flies were found Ground the place, but a careful investigation showed that the stables were perfectly clean and that all possible precautions had been taken to prevent the multiplication of flies. The authorities were nonplused. Finally someone thought to examine a coating of spent barley which had been secured from a brewery and spread over the grounds as a fertilizer. Millions of baby flies were found in It.

The Flight in Norfolk. Other puzzling conditions sometimes arise. The town of Norfolk, Connecticut, has been waging a war against flies, and in spite of the hardest work they did not seem to decrease in number. Every sanitary precaution was taken, and the people were puzzled. Then someone thought that perhaps the flies they were fighting were not house flies.

So they caught a box of them and sent them to the American Civic association at Washington. They were turned over to the Bureau of Entomology for sure enough, Norfolk had been using house fly methods to combat another kind of fly. The people of the country will probably be assured of flyless summer boarding houses during the coming summer. The American Civic association is thinking of preparing a list" in which all summer resorts and boarding places which can produce satisfactory evidence that they measure lip to the association standard of freedom from flies will be incorporated There will be no corresponding biaek list, but all the summer boarder need do when planning his vacation is to write to the Civic association at Washington, and he will be furnished the list of g-ood places. Wherever the fly crusade has been carried to a proper degree of completeness it never has failed to accomplish the predicted end.

A few years ago ail stables in the uptown business distrvt of Washington were ordered to keep their manure in covered containers. The decrease in the number of flies the next summer was remarkable. East year the Bureau of Entomology undertook to patrol the places where 'flies might breed in the vicinity of Ine department of agriculture. The result was a freedom from the insects that was surprising even to the most enthusiastic crusaders. Ada Pattami 0nthe Jubilata 0i the Bachelor Maid I REJOICE that I live in the land of the free, where the freest persons are the bachelor maids, or old maids, if you prefer.

I am thankful that I can eat what I like when I like, even if it happens to be chocolate caramels at 3 in the morning. I am grateful that I may keep the windows open when I like or close them when I wish, without danger of murder, as nearly happened in that little domestic tiff in Philadelphia, when the woman who wanted the window open brought up in jail, and her husband, who wanted it closed, made a star entrance into a hospital. Happy am I that I can spend my own money as I like. Show me the married woman who can say the same. I rejoice that I need tolerate no tobacco smoke about the house, unless it is made by my own cigaret.

That I never find ashes on my dressing table, unless I have left them myself. I am exceedingly glad also that profanity is never heard -within these walls, or that when it is heard, it is of home manufacture. I thank thee, power that the carefree existence of the latchkey girl, that no grouch ever enters these rooms except my own. I am content, nay happy, that I do not have to play up or down to some male mood. If there is a temper to soft pedal, or a good impulse to play forte, they are mine.

I thank thee, providence of the unwedded woman, that no one dwells beneath my roof who kicks my dog or teases my cat. If he that is another matter. I am more than glad that no one in my house finds fault with the cookinjg, except myself. I rejoice that I have troubles to worry about, except my own. I am thankful that since I like children, I have the courage to say so.

Thrice glad am I that every time 1 have a cold I have to fret about who will be my next wife. Glad am I that I can read the newspaper while my coffee is hot instead of waiting until my lord has finished the stock markets and the sporting page, and the coffee has grown cold. Thankful am I that reading the newspaper in peace, I can skip the to Keep Your column, written by one like myself. I rejoice that I live in a time when a few persons believe that a bachelor maid is glad and proud of her state. I deplore the scales that hide the 1 light from those wedded women who 1 believe it is better to be joined with 1 a convict, past, present or future, than to be unwed, to consort a wife beater, to slave for a lazy man, or scorch your eyes with burning tears over a follower after strange women, than to be blessedly alone.

But I rejoice that some of these omen are awaking from their romantic sleep. WITH The JUAREZ AND THE ARMISTICE. From St. Louis, (Mo.) Globe-Democrat. Juarez is never alarmed; there is always an armistice or some other useful subterfuge.

Boise comes from a word meaning and Coour'I the name of a famous minjng region, signifies The name was originally applied to an Indian tribe on account of the remark of a chief about the meanness of the French traders.

In Colorado there are some French names also.

Colorado has its Spanish quota. Among towns and cities one finds of Durango, named out of re- pect for a resident Spanish family, and La Junta, which is located at the junction of two railroads. Las Animas is of a peculiar derivation.

From this sad catastrophe the river; came to be called el rio de las animaa perditas, literally river of lost The city took its name from1 the river, whose title came in common usage to be shortened to Las Animas.
