BOTH SIDES WORKINGON ANTI-SALOON LIST

"Another thing at which they weredisturbed was my appetite. The Ger-mans cat all the time; four or .fivemeals a day, and they are not satis-

fied unless you do Justice to all ofthem."

"My short skirts were one of the

things about me which attracted mostattention,

" said Mrs. Cohn. "The Ger-

man women always wear trains 'on

their skirts and these trains are usual-lyallowed to sweep along the ground.They all voted that mine wbb the sen-sible dress and did not hesitate to ad-vocate reform along the lines of dressand yet no one was ever brave enoughto go without the train.

Mrs. Cohn is the only American wo-man who had ever visited this littleGerman settlement, and her clothes,

her ideas, and her pleasures were anever new delight and wonder to "thepeople. They wanted to know allabout America, "the land of gold andthe land where all the women arebeautiful" they called It. The beau-ties of the German forests, the littlestream In which the women do theirwashing, the old-fashinoned houses,together with the delightful hospitalityof the German people, were a sourceof never ending pleasure to the Ameri-can woman and these she brought to

her hearers yesterday in a way thatmade them truly feel that they -withher inLoubeau.

The little country village of Lou-beau, In a remote part of Germany

where Mrs. Cohn spent some timewhile abroad, was the setting for apaper which moved the members ofthe club to enthusiastic applause.

One of the'points upon which Mrs.

Hubbard dwelt was <hat the masterwho owns large tracts of land is aswatchful of hla dykes and would be asready to set to work to repair them ifin' danger as the man who has only aplot with a hut. The life of the peo-ple of Holland and the front whichthe country presents to an outsiderwaa also spoken of.

In the paper given by Mrs. Hub-bard she painted a picture of theHollander who strives year after

year to protect his land from the In-

roads of the sea, building dykes and

keeping them In perfect condition.

Friday Morning ClubThere was an hour of travel at the

Friday Morning club yesterday. Intorhe quaintest of little German villages

and along the Dutch water frontthrough miles of dyke land, the mem-bers traveled under the guldanca of

Mrs. Ella P. Hubbard and Mrs. MorrisCohn.

Council Has Twenty Days In Which toSet Date for the

Election"The council has 20 days In which

to set the date for the Iniative elec-tion at which the saloon question Is to

be decided "said City Attorney

Mathews yesterday. "The charter doesnot limit the time in which this dateIs to be set, but prescribes that theelection shall be called forthwith."

The city attorney was not ready togive an opinion as to the council's legalright to Incorporate other liquor ordi-nances, or alternate ordinances with

the one In the petition on the ballot forthe Initiative election. It is possiblethat the council may wish to give thepeople a choice of several measures.

All yesterday two forces of men(worked on the petition, copying It andmaking notes of .the names found. Oneforce represented the anti-saloonleague and worked In the outer, office.The other force comprised of six menunder Major Truman Cole worked Inthe inner office. »i.• «.»
