"THE BEAUTY OF THE HOUSE." Speaking before the Wllmette Wom- an's club recently, Mts. Pobtkb Lac- hes McCm-ntock voiced a plea for the revival of "sentiment in the home" through the restoration of the product of woman's handiwork, the little i benefited humanity nor only own century, but of all time. To compile a list of the ten most useful citizens of the present genera- tions will Tequire long and careful consideration, an elini.r ui'*n of preju- dice of any sort, and a broad knowl- edge of all that is being done along social.' political, scientific and relig- ious lines all over the world.

Mrs. McClintock de- . plored the use of factory-made articles in the stead of those in the production of which the homemakor of a former generation beguiled the time left free from necessary household duties. It is useless to lament the passing of the "tidy," the patchwork quilt and other evidences of the busy leisure of the housewife. They have been cast off In the process of evolution through which womankind has been passing and have no more a part in the life of the woman of today than candle dip ping or soap making. She has out- grown her taste for clutti r, even clut- ter of her own making. A knowledge opithe principles of sanitation and n>'- giene in the home bids her introduce j simplicity there. A newly awakened Interest in municipal affairs, educa- tion, and the many other fields open to her leaves no time to he killed by the construction of things which can lay claim neither to beauty nor util- ity or bv tueir care in the house. Sentiment in the home is not a thing smjent upon the expression of one "generation- That same interest which her grandmother manifested in a hair wreath, perhaps, the woman to today shows in her effort to secure better school facilities for her children. cleaner milk, purer and more whole- some food, and better social condi- tions for her sons and daughters when they grow beyond the immediate pro- tection of her home. ting those offenses against morals which have seemed to be an unavoidable evil in the gathering together of large numbers of children in a promiscuous ! way, marks a step of progress in the ' elimination of this contributing factor to the social evil. The idea of public instruction of children in a matter which they pre- fer to present to their bo> s and girls In their own way is repugnant to many parents. And it rna\ be true that in certain instances the lesson might well be left in their care Hut for the protection of the child who is not so fortunate in hi-> home rela- tions, and this class far outnumbers the other, something must be done by the public and that in the most nat- ural way. What means is there at hand so practical as the school, where the child is constantly learning new things and accepts information as a natural thing? The members of this association are men and women who realize the ne- cessity of handling such a matter with the utmost carefulness and the danger Involved in treating this branch of education in any but the most nat- ural, and at the same time scientific, manner.

PETER AGAIN IN THE MISSION *FIELD. There Is something incongruous in the idea of a motor chapel bearing the name of the saint esteemed as the founder of the church of Rome whiz- zing through the wilds of Texas and other un regenerate regions in the southwestern portion of the United States. And yet, why not? Certainly the worthy St. Pktl'b, himself, would have been the first to avail himself of the most effective means of carrying his message to the people most in need of it. Aside from the greater ease and speed with which the missionary fathers who are to be the possessors of the motor chapel will be able to reach or get away from the people whom they wish to instruct in the ways of righteousness and peace, there is the added advantage that such an innovation in the means of trans- portation may attract a crowd of the curious and that some who come to scoff, or to sec, may remain to pray. ' â- & ?K $K J WO EDEXS. The theosophical colony in Califor nia is said to look upon Krotona insti tute, the new school In which the theo- ries of that cult are taught, as the cradle of a new and better race of men, but the regeneration process re- quires time. The conditions in Pike county, Pennsylvania, may be entire- ly too materialistic to bear comparison with the coming race of theosophists, but while the world waits the devel- opment of Krotona Institute, many a municipality might do worse than pon- der the situation in the county of Pike, and. having pondered, to emulate. For eighteen months there has been no jury trial in Pike county. The courts are idle. There Is no county debt, there are no outstanding bonds and the treasury has a surplus ol $4,000. Pike county enjoys two attri- butes of Paradise, peace and plenty, qualities which to the material sense mean a fair degree of happiness. license but a health certificate show- ing the contracting parties are free from disease. Will Follow Legislative Activities. From time to time, as the Illinois legislature takes up various meas- ures, they will be submitted to the club members for discussion, and when feasible the club will support the proper laws. Mrs. McCulloch is very well qualified to take charge of this work, as she attends a large num- ber of the sessions of the legislature and is in touch with the law-making processes, through her work In the in- terests of the suffrage measures. TAX BOOKS FOR 1912 ABE HOW BEADY (Continued from Page 1) same in 1911 and jumped to .86 In 1912. For the sanitary district the rate is reduced this year, it being .49, as com- pared with .71 last year and .34 in 1910. For the First Park district the rate has also been reduced, from .25 in 1910 to .23 in 1911 to .16 in 1912 On the other hand, the rate for the Northwest Park district has increases from .28 in 1910 to .36 In 1911 to .48 in 1912. This is the first year that an assessent has been levied for the Wilmette Park district and it amount- ed to .52. Rates Compared. j Figured on the amount of the as- sessed valuation, or on one-third of the actual value, the tax rate for v Kvanstou for the year 1!*12, collected now, was as follows: District 75, no park.............%'>."\ District 75, N. W. Park.......... 6.21 Distric 70, no park............. h.'y.l District 76, First Park.......... 5.51 The corresponding figures for 1911 were as follows: District 75, no park.............$5.61 District 75, N. W. Park. .'........ 5.97 District 76, no park............. 5.3 District 76, First Park.......... 5.56 The rate of District 75 without the park in 1910 was $5.02 and with the park $5.30. The rate of taxation, there- fore, has increased in District 75 with the park district from $5.02 in 191 to $5.61 in 1911 to $5.73 in 1912. With the park district it has increased from $5.'!0 in 1910 to $5.97 in 1911 to $6.21 in 1912. In District 76 the rate is ap- proximately the same as last year, without the park $5.35 and with the park has decreased from $5.56 to $5.51. The difference between the assess I ment In the two school districts Is due to the fact that District 75 is pay- ing for the new Orringbon Avenue school. Tax in Actual Value. Taken at the actual value of the property, which is three times the as- sessed value, the taxes for l'Jl2 amounted to $1.91 in School District 75 without the park, and to $2.07 with the Northweste Park. The taxes in School District 76, figured on the ac- tual valuation of the property, amounted to $1,77 2-3 without the park and to $1.87 Including the park. Notices Sent Out. Mr. Bartlett has sent out 3,750 no- tices of taxes due on personal prop- erty and 5,000 for real property taxes. He has tried to send notices to every- body whose address he has or has been able to ascertain. The books were late in getting to the city treas-1 urer's hands, and for this reason the | notices have gone out later than i usual. The books will remain in Ev- anston until March 10, and after that date it will be necessary to pay the taxes at the county treasurer's office In Chicago. The personal property tax should be paid at once. Pay Taxes in Evanston. There are a good many advantages ! fn paying the taxes in Evanston. The j rush in the county treasurer's office is very great, and persons who have waited before can testify to the 'n- convenience of delaying. The pay- ment of taxes in Evanston is also a help to the city. The interest on the amount collected goes to the citv when it is paid in Evanston, and when the county treasurer receives the money it is not sent out to Evanston until considerably later and the city loses the interest. The money is coming in fairly well, and Mr. Bartlett "will be glad to have anyone who has not received his bill come in and get it. It is too late now to take exception to the amount of the assessment. There is no redress ex- cept by court, and there can be abso- lutely no change in the assessment without a court order. These taxes were assessed last April and all com plaints had to be made to the board of review of Cook county, which met in Chicago during last July. STATE BAN,v OF»E VANS TON . .
