THIS UflAliLUflfElUWN GUARDIAN

A GREAT OCCASION

Nearly a century ago Frances E. Willard was born. Her heritage of godly parents. a keen adventur- ous yet studious mind, an indomit- able will, destined her for great- ness.

Frances E. Wlllarirs School, a. Mother's Shrine A Woman Who Stands Among the Immortals By Fred L. Holmes

Only one woman's statute stands in the crowded hall of immortals at the National Capitol. More than a thousand miles away in the rich, alluvial Rock River valley of the Upper Mississippi basin. the school- house which she attended as a child has been transfomied recent- lv into a shrine. In athousand cities and villages over the land her picture hangs on the walls of homes and women's club rooms.

The organization and building of the W.C,'I‘.U. was her life's It has been a moral force of inealculable good in the world.

The nation's tribute is fitting as a worldly recognition. But the plain folk of the prairies, where she liv- ed. sought out another. In the

schoolhouse in which she received her early lessons.

Through her busy life Miss Wil- lard never forgot “Forest Home." To her the Rock River valley was s. scene t0 be remembered. Shortly before her death she wrote these prayerful words referring to her farm residence near Janesville: "I thank Thee that wherever I may dwell. no place can be so dear. so completely embalnied in my heart. so truly the best beloved of all in me as ‘Forest Home?’

When Frances was fourteen years old. her father and neigh- bors built a schoolhouse one mile

John A. Logan was born, and from which he went forth to be- come the ideal volunteer soldier of the R9pilblit. Yet the great com- monwealth passes all of these by and brings here, with reverence and pride, a. work of art so full of gentleness and grace that all the illustrious company about it seems to bow with stately ceremony be- fore the white figure of this elect lacw of Illinois-Frances E. Wil- lard".

The natio l remembrance of her meant more than the praise due a departed leader. She was lauded for her womanly American- ism. This was the first official recognition of the advance which had been taken by women in the new order of things. The chang- ing era had begun about the time of her birth. Oberlin College, Ohio, in 1838, was the first in- stitution to grant a diploma to wo- men. The work and influence of Miss Willard sped the day for their enfrancliisement, a cause which she championed; she urged legislation for a better protection of the home and she also demanded “courts of national and international arbitra- tion which would banish war from all the world.” She was a reform- er, but of such apoise that she did not call down upon herself the animosities that are generally heaped on those who would side- track the old routine.

But above the cenotaphs that have been raised and tablets dedi- cated to her memory: over all the volumes written about her life, the scene of the little white school building in the Rock River Val- ley haunts memory most. By its dedication, the common school of America has been enshrined for its service; its high ideals glorifying the homes from which come the little children.

Miss Willard is buried near Evanston. the scene of hcr later labors. Yet the mothers of Am-

from “Forest I-lome"—a plain little one-room building under the oak trees on the bank of the Rock River. The pine desks were ar- ranged along thc side of the wall. and the boys sat on one side and the girls on the other. I-Iei-e Frances was sent to school in I853. her first teacher being Nelson W. Hodge, Whose children and grand- children have since taken an im- pcrtant part as educators in Wis- consin and Massachusetts.

Additional schooling was given i0 Miss Willard at Norilivrcstern Female College. now Northwestern University. and after gradua- tion she was made professor of natural sciences in thc institution. Scattered over the Mississippi Val- ley are women who studied under Miss Willard. When she took up hcr temperance work they were hcr first disciples]

While engaged in teaching she became interested in the temper- ance reform movement nud. in 1874 she became secretary of the Wo- men's Christian Temperance Un- ion.

Books iviiich she read. garments which shc ivorc. letters written by her. are now treasured and col- lecicfi by historical societies. Even the old phaeton in which shc rode has been reclaimed recently and stands on a platform near the famous carriage of Daniel Webster in the State Historical Museum at Madison, .Wisconsin.

Long before national prohibition was assured, however, her services to the nation were acknowledged. The dedication of her cenotaph in Statuary Hall was equaled only by the memorial honors accorded a President. Men of national re- putation were the speakers. Sen- ator Cullum. of Illinois. made the presentation for his state and ad- dresses wcrc delivered by the late Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver. of Iowa, and Senator Albert B. Beve- ridgc, of Indiana. At thc ex- ercises held in the House of Re- presentatives, the speakers were Congressman Foss, of Illinois, and Mr. Littlefield. of Manic.

“I have witnessed at the Capitol today a scene thc like of which has ncvcr taken place before-thous- iinris of children covering a statue with flowers and thousands of wo- mNl standing before it in silcuce and in tears." declared Senator Dollivcr in an address recording the fleeting event. “We are met to pui in place another pedestal; to accept another statue donated by the people of the nation. It is brought herc by a state rich in the household treasures of its bio- graphy-tin: stiite which gave to American politics the leadership of Stephen A. Douglas; the state from which Abraham Lincoln sct out on his triumphiil Journey to the Capitol; the state which sign-

THE \VAR THAT NEVER ENDS

In the midst of ivars and rumors of wars we are apt to lose sight of one war that has gone on for endless centuries, and seems to be a war that has no end- the war- fare against the tyrant Alcohol. Onc could write pages about the_ present situation. but here are a few items that should give us pause: From the "New Outlook." of Noveinber-“So this is repeal" ¢in the United States) One million, three hundred and fifty thou- sand girl ‘hostesses in repeal taverns are hired as ‘bar-room bait’ to stimulate male customers buying liquor."

I had promised to lunch with a . . . a friend," she said half turn- ing. The professo showed his dis- appointment, but stood his ground as Peter Allister came forward. Carr held out his hand to the young

man.

“I hadn't heard of you until t0-

day." he said, "but I knew your brother well." "Step-brother," corrected Peter. “A sad business," murmured Pro- fessor Carr. “Sad for all concem- ed. I was just sympathizing with Miss Brctherion and offering lunch. But I underrtand you've forstalled me." he added with l. smile.

Peter grinned.

“Maybe you would like to lunch us both he suggested, shamelessly.

Jill gazed at him in surprise. For the moment. Professor Oarr was taken aback.

“Well, Why not?" he countered.

“May I suggest the Brrtol Grill," went on Peter. "It's two years since I lunched there. Haven't been able to afford it since." Professor Carr laughed.

"Now that you've come into Phillip Allister-s fortune. you'll be able to afford all those luxuries." Pcter grinned back.

. “But I haven't come into the fortune yet. You see, I'm still suspected of the murder."

“Dear me! Was that what the police investigators meant?"

Peter nodded. g “Moreover, I'm hungry, and I've only two shillings in my pocket. And that's borrowed money," he added, giving an affectionate glance at Jill. "So shall we say the Bris- tol Grill. Professor?"

"You deserve your 1unch," smiled the Professor, and signalled for a taxi. I Ten minutes later they were sipping cocktails. Professor Carr excused himself to make arrange- ments for booking a table. “Peter, your manners are dreadful as ever," Jill declared. “Are they?"

“Of course they are. What in- ducied you to invite yourself to lunch?"

"I particularly wanted to make the acquaintance of Professor Carr.’ said Peter, swallowing the last, of his cocktail with appreciation.

“But. why?" asked Jill.

"He's the one man among all

‘.' u must remember that Scotland Yard only allows me to go about on sufferancc. A heavy hand may fall upon my shoulder at any mo- nicnt," lie grinned.

Professor Carr reappeared. “Shall we cat?" he inquired.

The Professor and his two guests seated thelnselves within the pink and mirrored walls which had be- cori l a noonday Mecca to all or would-be celebrities. At an ad- joining table was a famous film producer with the latest star of his

The widely advertised fact that the New Year celebration in one Alberta city showed only ten traffic mishaps, and that owing to the wamlng of the Chief of Police not one of these was-attributable to drunken driving shows quite clearly that when the enforce- ment officers want to, they can curb the accidents from drunken driving. -

No amount of money can save a soul or build a character. or cvanelize a city, and yet it is a factor without which these re- sults may not be accomplished.

LAST SPRING, a tired factory worker whose health was slipping, walked inio a drug sinrc for a package of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. A fcw weeks later hc wrote: “I was very rundown and lircd out aficr ihc long Winter in a factory. Had pains in the head zind brick, so started inking Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills.

“1 have a secret ambition about , this p‘ cc." murmured Peter, eye- , ing the bill-of-fare avidly. i.

"Arid what is that?" asked Pro- ‘ fesor Carr. ,

"To be flung out of it," rewi-ted Peter,

“For goodness sake behave your- self to-day," pleaded Jill.

“I intend to," smiled Peter. “I'm going to begin with half-a-dozen oysters." l

He tipped the bill-of-fare over I to the Professor. Very soon they i were enjoying the best of food and the best of wine. Professor Carr proved himself an excellent hot. He charmed Jill Bretherton he accepted Peter Allisters rough Bchcmianism with perfect ease.

“And now. professor, I would like to ask you something," blurted Peter. as the coffeee arrived, and he selected an excellent Corona. “What do you think of all these moon theories" l

“First tell me what you think," ‘ smiled Carr.

“Moon"hlne," retorted Peter, bluntly. “But then, I'm a musician. ‘ I left astronomy to my step- brother."

"Both music and astronomy are

based on mathematics." pointed , out Carr. "That's true.” replied Peter.

"But my mathematics come forth as sound." I i "So do the mathematics of as- , tronomy." said Carr. "I have a . gramaphone record in my labor- atory at Oxford which is the sound f made by moonshine through a ‘ photo-electric cell. If at any time you are in Oxford. I will play it to i you. Most remarkable music, I can l assure you." i

“I shall make it my business to - comc to Oxford to hear it." said ' Peter. "The more I listen to your tail: of the moon, the more inter- esting that dead lump of matter in I the sky becomes."

"There a. devil in the moon," broke in Jill Bretherton.

Carr gazed curioudy at her.

“It may be that you are right, Miss Bsetherton," he said. “I have a great respect for feminine in- tutition. And because you feel that way, and because I know someth- ins of its dangers, I urge you to stop your brother in his crazy ex- periments.

“Lut in what way is Bretherton placing himself in danger? asked i Peter.

"Bretlierton i" a. brilliant young n an, said Professor Carr,_quietly. “but at the moment he is dealing with matters that are dangerously beyond him." ,

"011, I wish he would listen to me." said Jill, fervently.

“Are his crazy experiments con- cerned with the possibility of life on the moon? asked Peter.

"That is what I ruspect,"

"And is there life on the moon?“

Professor Carr leaned forward. There was a tired expression in his face.

"I have been asked that question a hundred times lately." he said. "I am old-fashioned enough to be. lleve that the moon is exactly as it wa" when Galileo first saw it. The moon is airless. waterless. dead. It 1115 always been so." - ,

"But vuliat, of the moon to-day?" | insisted Peter. “I seem to recall in the lecture on astronomy that was [liven at the inquest to-day, some talk of a Dr. Pickering."

Carr rmilcd. toleranily.

"Professor W. H. Pickering. of Harvard. is something of a. them-Lat. He compared old and new charts of thc moon and made photographs of the lunar surface under all poss- iblc conditions of illumination. Herc and there he professed to sec sign" of volcanic activity and of vegetation growing with prodigious rapidity during fourteen days of glaring sunshine. only to pgrigh 1n the fourteen-day lunar night.“

And what do you think of the theory?" asked Peter.

"ASPTQIIOYYIBIS generally are not impressed,” evaded Professor Carr. “Brit it has led a few cnthusia-ts, ruch as your lamented step-brother. to make a close study of the moon And by a series oi‘ coincidents such studies have led to disaster, Tim; is all I need say as a warning to Young Bretherton."

“And you?" asked Profcsoor Carr, turning to the sardonic young man facing him.

Peter grinned again.

“I was just trying to recall those wor -. of Milton. How do they go?" Ab, yes! r . . . With living sapp-
