The knightly chivalry of ancient days
Is still alive, I think. though people often
u It il'cd limit yenrs ago. Some ay the
atifTi ascites at home have ended It, Willi
their wiiii rulds nnd strnmre destructive
schemes. I Jo not think that Is tho case
It nt 11 must live.
I know the plrlt or n Qnlntiotl shone
in that Iceman's klhdlv face. He drove me
to the nearest board I nil house and rang

Wo mnt have looked a curious com

Tho Iceman moved to lilt my lugguge
down.
"You need not bring that trunk Inside
this 'mil," iild ! i "V have no roon
here, anyhow," nncl closed the door.
I felt as If a pall of Ice cold water hai

THE GALLANT ICEMAN.
I had tho same sensation once again
that evening when the door slammed shut
upon the gullnm. iceman and myself.
We clambered on h'a wagon once again
and tried another boarding house-also in
vain! 1 must sign an agreement to stay
there one vvtolt at least and pay h In

U length we rem-hifl a cheap hotel,
which made no dltllculty In taking me. I

Mrs. Rudolph BlanKcnburg, wife of
the Mayor of Philadelphia, has returned
to town after two months spent at her
country home In Pocono Pines, followed
by a fortnight In September at Atlantic
City.
On the devastation and suffering of
warfare Mrs. Blankenburg holds decid
ed views. "I think this war, as war.
Is a terrible thing." said she, "and I
know that when the women of the
world are consulted there will be more
peace. It is a stock argument of the
antl-suffraglsts that women cannot fight,
but the antl-suffraglsts overlook tho
fact that It Is the women who produce
the fighters. I know many mothers
who want their children to go and fight
for their country, hut I believe that
the majority of women hate the very
Idea of yraifnre. When women have ,i
voice in the Government It will be far
more dlltlcult to have war! Personally,
when I think of tho widows and orphans
left I can find no excuse nor apology
for It.
"One of the worst features about
war," continued Mrs. Blankenburg earn
estly, "is that the hale and hearty young
man. who. before he is accepted by the
army authorities, must see well, and
be well, and have a fine physique, Is
being killed, while the lame and the
blind and the feeble stay at home to
be tho fathers of the next generation.
That Is the vital point In which war
fare weakens a nation so much."
Mrs. Blankenburg has Just given up
the vice presidency of the General Fed
eration of Women Workers, as she finds
she cannot devote the necessary time
to it this winter.
"Do you think the woman worker Is
the happiest?"
"I think that every man and woman, no
matter whether they are rich or poor,
should do sotno work to insuie their
own h.ipplne.'-B and growth," said the
Mayor's wife. "It gives them a wider
outlook in every wn, too. No matter
who earns their own living. It Is hard
work. It i a dltllcult thing to get started
in a way of comfortably earning a
living, and so long as women have to
earn their own living this evolution Is
making It easier for them to be prop
erly prepared and equipped for the strug
gle. Fo long as women do go out of the
homo to work, they cannot be too well
equipped."
"Do you think the very rich woman
works as hard as the average middle
class worker, who earns her own liv
ing?" "Tlmro are a great many kinds of
work." said Mrs. Blankenburg. "A great
many rich women who are supposed to
lead easy, leisured lives, work hard-r
than many a poor woman. You cannot
live In luxury and elegance without having-
a good deal of care along with It "
"Do you think there Is as much hap
plness among the poor as among the
rich?"
"I think." said Mrs. Blankenburg. "that
poor people, provided they are not
actually hungry or in want, have as muth
chance to be happy as the rich. In fact,
I think the man or woman who ha- a
comfortable homo ard a little money Irt
the bank Is Infinitely happier than the
-ine who keeps anxiously counting his
millions.
I "I should like," she continued, "as a

NORWAY NEEDS FOODSTUFFS

Says Country Depends on America,
j WUhelm iljornstad, representing a Chris-

I BJornstad (ay the war in Kurope makes
1 It necessary not only for the nations in

said Bjornstad, could use two per cent.

Klghtccn boys and seventeen girls ap-
I piled today nt the headquarters of the
Bureau of Compulsory Education, 1S22
Cherry street, for legal permission to
terminate their school careers and begin
work in the stores or factories. Several
of the children wero questioned ns to
the cnuscs which made them ask for
labor certificates. The answers wero re
markable. The first applicant was a little girl,
whoso wan face Indicated she had never
known any other condition than poverty
and that heavy responsibilities had
checked htr normal development.
'My futhei was killed In a railroad
accident," she stammered, "and iver
since that tlmo my mother has hnd a
hard time of It. She worked last year
as n scruhlady In an ofllcc building, hut
the doctor told her that If she didn't
wnnt to die and leave us kids nil alone
she's better give up thnt job. So she
did. And now Jlmmle, that's my oldest
brother, who nlwnys made good money
j working In a silk mill, Is only working
half time, and It's up to me to go to
work."
Kdwaid G n robust lad of 16, ap
parently wns delighted over his prospects.
"Hither I was dtimb or else I was lazy,"
he confessed. "Anyway, I never was
any good in school. Half the time I
didn't get promoted, nnd my father thinks
I'd be better off at work. My mother
thinks so, too, and my uncle says I'll
make a good mechanic. I wns always
handy with nails and hammers and things
like that. I can make furniture, and
nobody ever taught me, cither.
"When anything gets broken around
the house I can fix It. So I'm going to
work as a carpenter's npprentlcc. I'm
golnv to get Ji n week nnd 1 am going
to pay a dollar board every week, too.
Maybe 1 nln't glad."
"TEACHER A "TYRANT."
'I am going to quit school because I
don't like my teacher," was the answer
of a plump, snub-nosed little girl. "She
always had a spite on me and she knows
It, too. When anything went wrong she
always blamed It on me. She said I
didn't tell tho truth and I was stupid
and I wns always coming to school late
and I had dirty hands and that I neVcr
studied, nnd, oh, you ought to hear all
the nasty things she use to say about
me. But I don't care. I am going to
quit, and now I wonder who she's going
to pick at. I have a Job as a cash girl."
"I should worry," exclaimed a more
optimistic girl. "I got a Job In a rib
bon factory, and maybe they'll like me
and give me a raise and maybe they
won't. Maybe I won't like them and then
I'll quit. I'm going to take a chance. I
should worr,"
"Pop says If I want spending money
I'll have to work for It," was the reason
given by 11-year-old Charles L. "He says
he's tired of handing out coin to me all
the time and If I want to go to movies
I can earn the money for It. Ho got me
a good Job at e3 a week In a stocking
mill."
HARD TIMES. BOY'S REASON.
"I nln't got a job yet," confided Sam
uel T , "but I'll have to go to work.
Hard times has struck our house nnd
my father nnd oldest brother are out
of work. So I guess I have a right to
earn something for tho family. I'm
half glad I'm going to quit school, be
cause when I'm working I can go out
at nights, but I'm sorry that I'll have
to quit my education. They say you
can't ever amount to nnythlng without
nn education. Anyway, the teacher gave
me some old books to keep and when I
get time after I have a Job I am going
to study up."
Henry R. had decided upon an experi
ment. "I am going to quit school for
n while, anyway," ho said, "and I think
I'll go to work ns an office boy. If I
like It I'll stick and If I don't I'll go
back to school. I'm young yet nnu I
got plenty time to try things out. When
I'm a man I want to be a prize fighter,
but the fellows tell mo I'm too young
for that yet."
I All of the applicants were between the
I ages of It and 16. Children younger
than that cannot leave school and chll
I dren who have attained their 16th birth
day are not required to obtain labor
certificates. Remar'tahle differences
were noted In the height of the various
children. One boy was six feet tall anil
nnother who stood near him. measured
i hut little more than the average child
of 8.

BERLIN, Sept. 26,
No small part of the fortitude with
which tho women of Germany are bear
ing tho hardships of war Is duo to the
Inspiring example of the Kalscrln Au
gusta Victoria, who Is practically giving
her wholo tlmo to the work of visiting
the sick nnd wounded Boldlcrs.
She has given up her residence nt
Potsdam Palace, where she usually spends
this time uf the yenr when In town, nnd
Is living with her dnughtcr-In-lnw,
Princess Eltel Krlcdrlch, In tho quiet
little Bcllcvuo Palnco, Just off tho Tier
guiten. Every morning a severely plain, gray
motorcar, not bearing the Imperial stand
ard which usually Mutters from automo
biles occupied by members of tho Im
pcrlnl family, draws up before the palace
door, and the Kalserln steps In with one
of her IndlCB In waiting. Frequently she
Is accompanied cither by Crown Princes?

FLOWERS FOR SOLDIERS
Tho enr Is filled with huge baskets of
cut flowers, Intended for distribution
among the soldiers.
The military hospitals In Berlin are
widely scattered over the largo area from
tho garrisons at Doebcrltz In the north
west to hospital sheds which have been
erected on Tempclhofcr Fcld. To visit
oven a part of them In tho course of a
week would be impossible, but the
Kalserln Is untiring nnd consclontlouslv
endeavors to visit not only every hos
pital, but every cot.
When there Is not time to finish with
n hospital In the morning, she comes back
the next day, beginning her visit whero
1'. loft off. In order thnt no single soldier
will be disappointed. No soldier falls to
receive a kcepsnko in the form of a
flower, and It I pathetic to see the care
with which the wounded men treasure
these souvenirs of her coming.
However busy the day, she usually
finds time for a few words with every
man.
Another member of the royal family
whi is Indefatigable In helping the Red
Cros and tho work of other relief organi
zations Is the Crown Princess Ccclllc.
whose Immense popularity among all
clasdes has been Immeasurably Increased
by her hard, self-sacrificing work In he
half of the poor nnd relatives of the men
in the field.
PRINCESS BENEFICENT.
Just ns the Kaberlu lias devoted her
self especially to the wounded soldiers,
tho Crown Princess has made the father
less families the subject of her special
care, and people's kitchens opened In
various parts of Berlin owe their suc
cess In no small measure to the energy
with which she ha thrown herself Into
the work.
She often calls herself for a plate of
soup nnd bread, distributed In generous
portions at the price of 10 pfennings a
plate: not infrequently on busy days she
has made her own midday meal upon
the regular kitchen fare.
Following her example, many of the
richest and mot fnshlonablo women of
German soelety have gona to work with
a will to. help the relief societies, and the
spectacle of a lady of high title, with her
rl..ve rolled up, ladling out bowls of
soup for hours at a time. Is no longer a
novelty.
PRODUCE PRICES NOT
AFFECTED BY WEATHER
Housewives Told by Dealers That
Costs Hnve Not Risen.
The fears of many housewives hero
that the ' recent drought, coupled with
Midden changes In weather, would so
affect the crops of fruits and vegetables
as to bring about a raise In prices were
dispelled by Inquiry nmong the fruit and
produco dealers nnd growers today.
"The fruit crops," said a prominent
Dock street dealer who expressed the
general f.ellng, "with the possible ex
ception of apples and pears, have lieen
plrked, and tree crops are not. ns n rule,
very much affected by weather, anyway.
Peaches have been poor ever since the
beginning of the season, but there have
beep plenty of them and prices havo not
been very high accordingly.
"As for vegetables, there have never
lecn so many of them and they have
not been so cheap for a long time. It
Is true that tomatoes have been scarce
and high, but to offset this there Is an
abundance of onions, cucumbers and tho
like selling for Uss than tho cost of
raising them."

The output of Inexpensive gloves that are,

Thcro Is a glovo of a woven material
called leatherette that requires very close
Inspection to distinguish It from doeskin

These leatherette gloves In greys and

A chamolsctto glovo that closely resemble-!

Children's chamolsetto gloves In chamois
color and gray und tan cost 0 cents a

These gloves wash very well, and It Is
advised by the dealers to use cold or
tepid water rather than hot and to let
thorn He In soapsuds instead of rubbing
them too vigorously.
So far thero seems to bo no very groat
Increase In price In tho staple kid gloves.
A very good quality of street glove

dogsktn glove with ono clasp and with
outseams.
Whether or not the price of gloves will
rise ns the surply dlml'hes Is a matter
of conscience on the one hand nnd con
jecture on tho other.
But even if tho price remains ptn
tlonary, there may conic a time when
kid gloves will be out of tho market alto

several years, as It Is predicted that It
will by many military men.
