Hla Family Club Id.s Explained by 8acretary Lecb. rreslelent RooseTelt, In Lbskl attire, attendee! the garden party given on the grounds of Jolin Weekes, Jr., at Oyster nay, N. V., the other afternoon for the benefit of tho Nassau bospluil and dur ing Ida stay remarked to a number of men, women nud children who bad congregated around him that he de plored the conditions existing In Amer ican family life. lie had visited and enjoyed many exhibits on the grounds and was then escorted to s Swedish and Norwegian weaving booth, decorated with red, white and blue. Ite regarded tho weaved goods displayed there with In tent "Is this still done In Sweden!" Inv sked. When told It was he remarked: "I hope the Swedes who come hero to lire will keep their work np. I want to see- all the guod customs of the old countries trnnrplantcd and thriving here. I want the Germans who come hero to Loop up their clubs and soci eties, where the fullicr, mothers and children vUlt together. I have worked to bring alwut a general observance of such a system. It has been bard work, however, but I still have hopes. "Here In America," he went on, raising his voice, so all who had grouped shout the booth could besr, "our husbands and wires lira too far apart "If a man Joins a club or organiza tion hla wife will have nothing to do with It If a wife belongs to a society nothing spparrntly will Induce her hotbuud to bars anything to do with It We must bars a better family life bera In America and learn lessons from Sweden, Norway and Germany, These countries give us some of our best cit izens. "Look at prosperous Minnesota, where men of Swedish and Norwegian parentage are rival candidates for gov ernor. Ifs good very good. I hope we have more of It" When President Roosevelt was inter viewed the next day be declined to stat directly what Ideal club and home conditions he Is working for In America as announced In bis Informal talk at Mrs. John Weekes' garden party. Late In the evening, however. Secre tary Loeb stated that be had become fully conversant with the president's wishes nlong the social line and be lieved that It was ono of the most Important pieces of work undertaken by Mr. Roosevelt By stating that he had been working for a social condition In which entire families would belong to the same 'clubs the prcsldeot Is said to haTo meant that he had constantly advo cated such a condition and had shown marked consideration to organisations inado up of entire families. The president believes that tho grow ing divorce record and the constantly Increasing extravagance In America are dne to a wowing Indifference to home life. lie believes that men and their wives are being educated to have absolutely diverse lines of entertain ment and that the condition can be remedied by providing a society sys tem that will arrange better for their mutual Interests. "The splendid social systems In Ger many, for Instance, or In Denmark or Sweden, or the societies among the Jewish people," said Mr. Loeb, "are what the president hopes to see estali llshed here. lie wishes to see It made popular for entire families to take their evening entertainment together, to see places provided where they con meet other families amid enjoyable surroundings. "The president has worked hard along this line. He never has hesitated to go out of his way to address socie ties made up of men and women both and help tbem plan to extend their work. Often he has given such socie ties preference over much larger organ izations composed simply of men. "Ills present plans for a farmers' commission has this point chiefly In view. By providing agreeable meet ing places for the families In farming districts, the president believes, the boys and girls will grow up to love country life and not lie so constantly drawn to the cities." The president, It was explained, be lieves that the farmers' families of the country should combine, much as they have combined In Denmark, and pro Tide themselves with many benefits In a social way never before thought of. What would be true of the farming districts, the presldeut believes, would be trie In the cities. lie believes that tlie majority of men and women would prefer to have their entertainment la company if thu proper Bystcm of so cieties and clubs Ihj arranged. In the president's next message to congress It Is Intimated that he will have a unique Idea to advance along this line. Collecting Eskimo Data.

Btnnley Hall of Clark university. As for President Hall himself, he does not em overjoyed when he views tho modern college wo man. In an article In Appleton's Mag. arlne he says: Her triumph over the olj tl nitatlons of her sex Is so complete thet a VnunR man whom I know ami who tanned to onvr his heart and hand to one ot them h'altatrd and finally withdrew from the lilirh chlv alrlc motive that he would rob the large social circle which aim adorned by tempi log her to become a housewife. "The Independent self sufficing bachelor girl," free, socially charming and "sometimes positively Inspiring." Is the Ideal product which President Hall would have of colleges officered by women, now, nlae, too subject to "a denatured Intellectual regimen." Ho criticises presidents of varlnue colleges for women for extolling the graduate who Ix-rome a NiaMliig school principal or the head of n school for native girls In up-r Kcrpt or one who, while not excluding the episode of homemaklng, evolves n plan of life with an ultimate aim Mimewhere in the Intellectual nnd spiritual spheres. None of the spinster presidents speaks of the promotion of health us Impor tant to college education, while Dr. Hall submits that this should lie pars mount In the Interest of the young woman's bodily, nervous, mental and emotional makeup. Instead tho "unl versltlilng" professorllug fis'ds her on the philological husks of English in erature; yokes her. In rhetoric, to the trinity of purity, precision nnd pro priety! anatomizes her I-ntln, German and Freneh; dehuuinnlzcs her physics and la general strangles the spirit that lives with the letter that kills. Sometimes, he ndmlls, the college young wonmti survives the denaturing process, still Imojnnt nnd unfaded. and It Is reaurliig in learn that, after all. In IT. Hall's opinion, "gnisl even now predominates over ft II in our girls' colleges." International NivvhI Conference. Tho International naval conference which will tm In-lit in London in Oc tober may prove to ! the memt Im portant aul productive meeting In which the world's principal power) have taken part since the famous gathering Immediately after the Cri mean war, which resulted In the nN Iltlon of prlvaW-rlng. American In terests at the conference will lie repre sented by Hear Admiral rhnrlcs II. Stockton and Profc-eor George Graf ton Wilson of Brown university. Both are eminent authorities on Interna tional nnd maritime law Hear Ad miral Stockton was president of the Naval War college at Newport ten years ngu and was afterward attache at the American etuli.ishy In London. Professor Wilson has IllleM the chair of political nnd social science at Brown university for twenty years and has been lecturer on International law nt tho Naval War college for the last eight 5 ears. The delegates froui each nation will go to London prepared to work up their own cases. If they have any principles which they desire Incor porated Into International law they will formulate them for adoption. The United States has for n long time tried to secure Immunity from capture nt sea of all private proerty not con traband of war. Thus far we have not succeeded. The American dele gation nt The Hague last J ear worked for It. It Is hoped that the coming conference will frame a rule of law governing such caos In the Interna tional prize court.

The great Inventor was seen at his villa, situated picturesquely on the shoro of Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey. "I can hardly explain," he said to n reporter of the New York American, "how I tamed from the manufacture of Instruments of death to the Inven tion of something that will prolong hu man life I'te seen the sticiess of one, and !crhap 1 11111 tlrtsl of that and de sire somcTh tew 1 hie great faith In my newi id. 1 and hope that It will Is-con 1 p in-ill part of life, au.l Nfo.e I .-i'i I wl-h to say frankly, ho.-. wi.

"My Idea Is to use electric currents of very much higher potential than heretofore. Of course the amperage of the current need not Is gieat. "A well known process of making chlorate of sodium and chlorate of pot ash Is by passing chlorine out of solu tion through n partition Impervious to the flow of n liquid, but previous to tho passage of the molecules of 1 hlo rlne under the lnfluetue of the electric current, so that the potash solution on recelWng the chlorine through the Im pervious partition Is converted Into chlorate of potash. "My Idea Is to Interpose the human lioily as a portion of such partition and to pass chlorine, or un equivalent rem edial agent, through the human body by means of a very high potential electric current of low amperage." "Then do ' at claim prolonged life for mankind' vas asked. "By klllln. disease- germs In a man's liody a naturally lengthen his life," responded the inventor. "But do you claim or expect that you can prolong life Indefinitely i" persist ed the Interviewer. "No," quickly answered Mr. Maxim, "becauso death Is as much n part of life as la birth. Life can only lw pro longed In the human body to n certain point If my device proves successful we shall be able to do what Hob In gersoll paid he would do if lie was ffoil Almighty 'mako good health catch ing.' " At the request of the reporter Mr. Maxim made a diagram of his new device. It will be n cabinet of con siderable size and will bo divided Into three parts. On either side will be tanks. Ono will hold nn ulknllne so lution, while tho other will contain a solution is" chlorine. In tho compart ment tietwoon these two, wherein will sit itie patient under treatment, will lie another solution, which Is the se cret of tho whole thing.
