Commissioner McLaughlin’s sum- 1 ir.er home is a Seagate, near Con T*y Island, and late last night he sp.cv a 44-foot motor boat in dis tress several hundred feet from shore.

J i Pastor Thinks Church Place To Do Spooning , Wants' Sunday School Rooms Fixed For Entertainment of Pet ting PiirticN Fargo, N. It.—Should the church provide a place for young folks to | spoon. Should it turn the Sunday school ■ room mto a weekly “sparking par lor?” Is u part of the duty of the church to furnish first aid to courtship ? The pastor of the largest Me thodist Episcopal church in North Dakota answers "Yes.*’ In a recent sermon that at tracted attention throughout the northwest the Rev. fcrnest C. Paris pastor of the First Methodist Epis copal church of Fargo, declare! the time has. come for churches io realize the old-fashioned American parlor is vanishing and to provide something to take its place. “It is part of our duty,” he told his congregation, "to recognize the danger that lurks in unwholesome courting places. The old parlor, where we courted our sweethearts is gone, and the young sheik of to day is of^en forced to use a park bench or his dad's sedan. I “Churches would do well to pro vide “sparking parlors-’ where young folks might meet under proper and wholesome, but not too stricf, conditions. , “It is not my thought to replace he family parlor where it still ex ists, but nanev recognize the fact thr.t to a large degree, in tins ities at leas/, it is already gone. Apartment- houses do not provide opportunity for young folks to meet as we once did. Then, too, there are a great many working girls who have no place whatso ever to entertain their friends ex cept the park bench or the fellow’s car. “I would suggest a very honey but spacious room or rooms with a pin> o and so on. as a parlor might he furnished, with possibly the use of a kitchen in connection. “It would be my thought to have several books arid crannies where coupler- might spark without inter ference. flic whole spirit of the place just as was true of the old .r. hioned home. precluding its misuse.

A certain class oi young folks would of course, make' no use of it, but those who do nnf care to meet young men and wo men under present unwholesome conditions (and 1 am sure that there are many such, would gladly avail themselves of tile opportun ity.” Send that boy or girl in college The Star e very o t h e r day.

Young as the “most distinguish ed woman in politics in tne world,” and “one of the most fascinating figures uf our time." is convinced t.hat women have mudr great pro gress recently in the rapidly chang ing world of the past few years. ”.\o longer are women classed for political purposes with crimin als. paupers and lunatics,” she added. "No longer are they classed as weaklings physically. Look at j the channel swimmers. And the women have had another triumph since then. I read of n lady in' Rhode Island who managed to con sume two pecks of clams, and ate every man under the table, showing our digestive organs as well as our j muscles arc superior to man’s.” j Woman's progress in politics hus been matte despite male opposition, she thinks, for “the machine poli tician does not like woman. They cannot be counted on. They are an unknown quantity. So i,t would set m that women nre r.till up to their old tricks of keeping men guessing. Well it is better to keep 'hem guessing than to be led blindly by them." As for the flappers, she doesn’t quite know what tney are, unless the term means the modern young woman, whom Lady Astor consid ers more venturesome but quite ns! virtuous as their grandmothers. I I.ndy Astor raid the progress of! women was a great cause of rejoic-j ing to her. "And," she added, “I believe in time they will make the world a place of far more rejoicing than it is now." In the short time British women! have had the vote, she said, more j laws dealing with the betterment1 of women and children had been passed than in two generations' before. Women will never go hack on prohibition, in her opinion. i "They are thinking," she said.' "of a world ahead —a world what has been rid of rum runners and i law breakers, in which the child ren can grow up with a reasonable j chance of not knowing the evil of drinking. Lady Astor’s speech was a pre liminary farewell to America on her recent visit. The Reason Sifter’s Suitor—What's the mat ter Johnnie ?
