In a family where there are three daughters and one son it is not uncommon to find all daughters staying at home, in a more or less active warfare, 'and the boy out doing for himself. The girls must stay at home. Even though they are 30 or 40 years of age. They are still girls and are still to stay at home.

A girl needs to know that she is able to hold her own in the world single handed quite as much as a boy needs that knowledge and experience. She has just as much common sense, just as high incentives, just. as strong a desire for power over life as her, brothers have, perhaps more, and ought to be free to find her place.

The club has given to' many city organizations; it has assisted the Montclair Improvement club with its building, erected a waiting station. on Morago road and contributed $500 to the building fund the Thorn Road Community church.

'Montclair was also, instrumental in putting in trestles in that vicinity; it has worked for the erection of new safety crossings, heretofore dangerous for school children, and now it is working with the local parent-teachers for the establishment of a local branch of the public library." Always a community club, Montclair. has done a great deal for the industrial members the district. It has taken. over the various famfly problems for solution and looked after the needy children. Each year it contributes to the Community Chest and from the club's general fund has gone contributions to the Pacific Coast Girls' Rescue Home, the Big.

Sisters and Lovina Gibson Home for girls. The Babies' hospital in Oakland this the Veterans' hospital in Livermore have also been the objects of their philanthropy. The club soon became too large, for home gatherings and in May last year purchased from the Montclair Improvement club its bullding at the corner of Thorn road and Mountain boulevard. This property is valued at $25,000. Last November fire partially demolished the club home.

In November, 1928, a fire partially destroyed the new club home and for many months the members were again forced to meet in homes and church rooms.

Upon a table beside Miss' Sherty when I talked with her was worst case of money mutilation the treasury ever has received. There were four heaps of green and yellow threads. They represented $13 in bills which had gone through a fur cutter's machine. The owner had signed affidavits as to cause of mutilation and the amount of the notes.

Miss Sherty's keen eyes saw that he told the truth. He will get back. part, if not all, of his money. Half a dozen cases a day come to the department from women who put their money in stoves for safe-keeping while went shopping or to bridge parties. Pathetic charred remnants are all that remain of the price of an Easter hat or maybe the savings of a life time when frantic woman suddenly remembers the money about the time the roast is done.

She knows every line on the nation's currency. Pouring in to her tragic results of fires IT IS the age of agreements. Mussolini has agreed with the Pope. The Allies have agreed with Germany. Mexico is: on the point of agreeing, with the Church.

Even California and Arizona are finding things to agree on. Congress managed to agree on reapportionment and will agree on farm. relief. The denominational churches are patching up their differences and uniting for common action. The talkie and the radio quarrels are being settled and their businesses are merging.

Peace and cooperation are nearly as obvious policies now as war and competition were once. Everybody has made this discovery, in everything but international affairs, and everybody but America has most interesting questions just now made it even there. are whether Helen Wills will wear stockings, and whether Sir Esme of all is the in freedom. 0 HOOVER has none final settlement of European reparations. The dogged persistence of Owen Young and his associates has again enabled America to save Europe from a crisis.

Incidentally we have saved ourselves from the consequences of that crisis. For the first time since the war, there is an, agreement in Europe voluntarily entered into by all its parties and regarded by all of them as morally binding. That all of them are dissatisfied with it is so much the better. It indicates that the settlement is a fair one. The psychology of peace has at last replaced the psychology of war.

The agreement between Mussolini and the pope is scarcely less important. It means peace and' unity in Italy, and it may lead the way back even to liberty. After nearly sixty years of quarrel between politics and religion in Italy, there is now harmony. The Italian, people are united, and are ready for the next stage in their progress.

The answer seems to be that Helen will and Sir Esme won't. It is a mere matter of good taste on both their parts.

Otherwise, it should be nobody's business. Secretary Stimson was decidedly correct in deciding that the American government would take no action and make no suggestions on the question of "diplomatic liquor." The privilege of "diplomatic fmmunity" is one on which the United States has been particularly insistent. Under it, our representatives in foreign countries are not subject to the laws of those countries nor obliged to conform to their customs. How far, they shall do SO voluntarily is a matter of their own good taste. Sometimes our diplomats manifest that good taste and sometimes they do not.

In the case of Sir Esme Howard, good taste is automatic. Whatever he does, we can be assured that he will do it courteously and graelously. As much cannot be said, of some of our senatorial attempts to heckle' him. 0 THIS whole question- -and to judge by the. "play-up" of news editors and the unanimous consent conversation it 1s the only, Interesting subject has made some interesting additions to our vocabulary.

"Personal is of course old. It means booze. A "sane" view of the subject is a hostile view, and a "sane interpretation" of the prohibition law is any interpretation that does not mean prohibition. A. "'fanatical is any citizen who agrees with President Hoover that the law should be obeyed and enforced.

A "liberal" is a defiant wet. "Beer and wine" means beer. "Modification" means the passage of a law permitting that which the Constitution: forbids. And "innocent" means, that there was a comma wrong in the search warrant. 0 IT IS not necessary to follow the example of the San Francisco man who Jumped, out of the twentieth-story window because he feared he was losing control of his temper.

There are less fatal rem-. edles. But at least this, suicide, had the intelligence to realize that a "temper" is a sign of weakness, not of strength, and that not to control it is to be a failure. Our worst offenders are those who are proud of their lack of self-control. ON SATURDAY night.

Bushels of ashes are sent the department in the vain' hope that some magic alchemy will turn them into greenbacks again. Those cases are hopeless. Burned money is easier to identify than buried money. The latter is moldy and the bills stick together. Old people have a disposition to bury money.

The women in the redemption division call these faded bills "ghost money." The human, dramatic element 1s strong redemption division of the treasury. Women workers are quick to respond to it.
