ROTARY LUNCH T
Noon-Day Affair at Hotel Wilmington.
Prominent Visitors From Rich
' mond to Attend.
Wilmington's Clean-Up and Paint-Up
Campaign begins next Monday morn
ing, and during the week that follows
it is expected the city will be vastly
improved in appearance", provided the
citizens will co-operate in the move
ment as thoroughly as they did last
year. This year's campaign, however,
is expected to be even more success
ful tha,n last, because of the fact that
the paint-up feature will be urged this
year along with the cleaning up of
premises, while last year's campaign
was more particularly devoted to the
latter feature.
. The movement here is a part of the
third national clean-up and paint-up
campaign, and Mr. John C. McAllister,
superintendent of streets, who will di
rect the local campaign, has the co
- operation of the National Clean-Up and
Paint-Up Campaign Bureau, located in
St. Louis, in the way of suggestions,
advertising material, etc.
The Clean-Up and Paint-Up move
ment has had wonderful growth all
over -the country, and it is -recognized
as one of the leading factors in . pro
moting civic pride and appreciation
. for the city beautiful. Former Govern
or Curtis Guild, of Massachusetts, dur
ing the campaign in Boston in 1914,
addressed the following open letter to
the chairman pf the committee in
charge:
"Mr. Dear Mr. Morton: I was ex
ceedingly sorry that a previous en
gagement occupying the dinner hour
and the entire evening, prevented my
acceptance of your kind invitation to
speak Tuesday evening at Ford Hall,
in regard to the clean-up and paint-up
movement. This is the season to reno
vate and renew, not merely the inter
ior, but the exterior of our houses and
places of business.
"The outside as well as the inside
deserves attention. The interior of our
homes affects ourselves, but the ap
pearance of the exterior affects the en
tire community. : I have been particu
larly struck recently, and on some of
the best thoroughfares in Boston, with
the dinginess and ugliness of the signs,
so defaced have they become with wind
and weather. The French have taught
us that a poster may attract the eye
as an advertisement and yet be inof
fensive and even decorative.
"We are seeking to attract business
and tax-payers to Boston and to Mas
sachusetts. The impression made by
our state and city on the visitor de
pends, not merely on statistics or even
on the condition of our streets and
parks, it depends also on the appear
ance of our houses and even on the
grass plats in front of them. The most
hideous of homes may be made attrac
tive by window gardens and flowers
and climbing vines. This lesson has
teen taught by some of the poorest of
the poor, whose love for flowers made
even unsightly tenements beautiful,
j "Sincerely trusting that the same re
sults may follow in your movements
for a brighter and more beautiful state
and city, believe me,
"Faithfully yours,
(Signed) "CURTIS GUILD."
: "Boston, April 22, 1914."

Queen's Popularity Increas

At the luncheon they will deliver ad

correspondence of Associated . Press.)
The Hague, Holland, Feb. 25. Queen
Wilhelmina has displayed wonderful
singleness of mind with her cabinet
and her people in their determination
to " uphold . the dignity as well as - the
neutrality of Holland. The Queen's
popularity has, if possible, increased
with . her years, and the government,
the foreign relations, the defenses and
the social-condition of The Netherlands
are . her constant care.
At the beginning of hostilities, the
Queen and her ministers immediately
recognized the delicate situation , o
The Netherlands, lying on the seashore
together with Belgium as a buffer be
tween the powerful German and Brit
ish empires and with its territory
temptingly open to violation by either
belligerent. .
The Dutch cabinet; always acting in
conjunction with thfe young monarch,
decided "to call its aefensive forces to
arms and The Netherlands troops Were,
in fact, completely mobilized and pre
pared for eventualities even before the
armies of the warring powers had been
brought up to war footing. Since those
anxious days in the beginning of Au
gust The Netherlands army has been
in "constant training under the watch
ful eye of itsv commander-in-chief and
ruler, who day after day rides out on
horse-back to some point of military
concentration and inspects the men,
from whom she often inquires person
ally as to their comfort and condition.
The soldiers, kept away 'from their
families for months, although their
country is not at war, are greatly
cheered , by these visits. The Queen
shows them every sympathy -and en
courages them to exercise patience in
carrying out their trying patriotic du
ties. Her Majesty decided to refrain from
ceremonial functions while the war
continued and her meetings with cour
tiers and diplomats have been of a
purely informal nature ever since the
war began.
The Queen's mode of living is of the
utmost plainness consonant with her
position. She is as a rule kept busy
with State affairs but every moment
when she can break away from her

done much to promote the interests of
the Virginia city.
Mr. Morton has visited Wilmington
before, .and it was largely through his
efforts that the movement that cul

strangers, are as thoroughly imbued
with the Rotary spirit as is Mr. Morton,
and they are enthusiastic boosters for

it is expected that the attendance will
be large. The affair is to be entirely

Women in Land of the Dragon Held
. Responsible for Death of Husbands.
, (From the Chicago Herald.)
There are no merry widows in China.
When a Chinese husband dies his
widow is despised by every member of
her family as a woman who has in
curred the wrath of the gods.
This and other conditions among the
Chinese women was described by Miss
Hie-Ding Lin, at a meeting of the Wo
men's Trade Union League in Schiller
hall. Miss Lin is a senior medical stu
dent at the University of Illinois.
"Widows are not the only sufferers
in China," she said. "After a formal
introduction it is customary for one to
ask, 'May I know your honorable age?'
in order to determine the correct form
of address.
"An older person is addressed by one
form of 'you' while a person younger
than one's self is addressed by another
form.
"The teachings of Confucius were
blamed for the condition of Chirrese
women.
"'Ignorance is woman's virtue, is a
teaching of Confucius, which every
man bears in mind," said Miss Lin. "The
chief viees of women, according to Con
fucius, are that they eat and talk too
much and fail to obey their mothers-in-law.
"Only when a woman becomes a mother-in-law
does she obtain complete
liberty."
Miss Lin added that in China it is
commonly believed wohen have no

her little daughter. the Princess

Prince Henry, the Queen's consort,
has entirely obliterated his personality
from Dutch affairs of state during
these trying times and he never by any
chance interferes in the politics of the
country of his adoption. As president
of the Dutch Red Cross he recently
paid a visit to the . interned troops
Belgian, British and German and
among them found some wounded
Mecklenburg soldiers to whom he
spoke in their own dialect and after
wards sent them and their fellow pris
oners some comforts. He devotes him
self to the Red Cross and other benevo
lent institutions -most of the. time, but
at other times he takes his sporting
rifle and gives himself up to fhe chase
over the royal country estate. Alto

the Queen a great amount of real re
spect among the Dutch people.
HER "Hl.VCH" REVEALS THIEF.
Expressions of sympathy and letters
of condolence are pouring in from all
over the country on Mr. Sydney Ayres,
director and leading man of the Big
U. company.
Not satisfied with his success as a
motion picture star and director, Mr.
Ayres awoke one morning with a bril
liant Idea. He would seek other fields
in which to display his talents as a
director. He would become a trust
magnate. So he forthwith started in
to corner the market on "jitney buss
es," a Jitney in California being a five
cent auto bus.
He let it become known that he was
in the market to buy up all the jitney
buses in Southern California. The mo
ment the magic word was spread, Mr.
Ayres' troubles began. By the time he,
had contracted for the purchase of
about 40,000 jitneys, a new and unex
pected problem arose.
How much gasoline would it take to
run them all? Great Caesar! When
he figured it out, he got a headache.
He saw at once that he would have
to corner the gasoline market.
Now comes the sad part of the story.
While 'it isn't generally known, Mr.
Ayres and John D. Rockefeller have
been friends for many years, and not
wishing to hurt John D.'s feelings, so
Ayres says, he paid the price of friend
ship and reluctantly dropped his big
plan.

Cloakroom Attendant Gets a Shock
When Hatw Comes-to Life
(From the New York Times)
In the cloakroom at the Vanderbilt
on Wednesday night there was a com
motion which sent Mike, the attend
ant, leaping over the counter in search
of Thomas O'Malley, superintendent of
service; Mike's face was pale, and he
gasped: "Please, Mr. O'Malley, come
quick; it's a leprochaun !" v
A short time before a young woman
had come into the hotel with a hatbox.
This the attendant readily agreed to
check. A little, later, happening to
glance at it, he saw it move. .
As his hair went skyward the attend-
1 ant beheld the box roll over, apparently
from no cause. Plaintive little squeaks
issued from what was supposed to con
tain a hat. Just then the top came off,
and a tiny face, with hair surrounding
it, appeared, followed later by a figure
which sprang, out. : Almost simulta

By Giving Up Luncheon Date Woman
Save Lot of Valuables.
(From the Los Angeles Times.)
Seized with the premonition that dan
ger was lurking about her, Mrs. Alma
Erkes, of 634 South Union avenue, broke
a luncheon engagement she had with
her sister yesterday and hurried home.
She discovered a burglar inside prepar
ing to leave with" several hundred dol
lars' worth of loot. Mrs. Erkes gave
the alarm to neighbors, but before aid
came the thief had made his escape.
Mrs. Erkes left her home early in
the morning and met her sister, Mrs.
Mary Lehr, of Romona, the two having
planned to takeluncheon at one of the
leading cafes. - They were on their way
to the resaurant when Mrs. Erkes sud
denly became nervous. She declared
she did not know what was the matter
but she felt that something was wrong
at home. Despite the protests of her
sister, she summoned a taxicab and de
parted. Mrs. Erkes was soon convinced that
her premonition was true. Arriving
home, she found, a hole in the plate
glass of the rfont door and inside she
saw a burglar at work. He had gath
ered all of- her jewelry and a 'large
number of pretty and valuable things
which she had purchased for Christmas
presents, and was in the act of thrust
ing them into a bag when she scream
ed. Thoroughly frightened, the burglar
ran to the rear of the house and jumped
headlong through a window. Neigh
bors joined Mrs. Erkes in chasing the
man, but got no trace of him.
