STIMULATION
- Oncovin awhile our skin needs stim

A ln awhile, remember.
And therefore, In order to bring life
and glow to your skin, when it may
be particularly dead and yellowish, it
is permissible to apply a little arti
nscial stimulation.
One way of livening up your skin,
rJ after a fatiguing day, is to rub It
rather hard with a rough-fabric tur
t ktsh towel. Do not rub ao i that it is
painful, but rub until you reel tne
warm blood flowing- into the tired
p&pfllaries. Rub untili you really feel
refreshed. Io not confine this odd
Diaasase to the cheeks alone, but ap-
3ply It to the forehead, the chin, the
neck and the shoulders. se careiui,
in ruSbbiwy around the eyes, not to
press hard iipon the eyeballs, for any
undue pressure is bad for them.
Zi The "patting massage is another
way of bringing the glow to your
3 face. To do this, if possible, first
3 iMttne the face in hot water. Then,
with the fingers, slap or pat your face
with a rather sharp stroke. Do this
s -while the face is still wet.

program, among whom were Miss May
Lord, contralto soloist of Milford Con
gregational church, whose rich, mel
low tones thrilled the hearts of her
hearers; Chester Harrison, organist, of
Olivet church, played .several eelec
tlons and his work,always of w& high
order was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Regi
nald iReed, soprano, was heard in eo-
-los, she being favorably known m the
city, where ehe has frequently sung at
concerts. Mrs., Joseph Hancourt, an
accomplished piantiste and formerly a
teacher ' of music, was another whose
playing added greatly to the evening's
enjoyment and whose eon, Joseph, Jr.,
aged six, fairly - took -the guests by
storm by his -clever singing of popular
songs. : He i won the life-long friendship
of every- one present. Last on the program,-
but -(not. by; any, means least,
were the two talented children of Mr.

yeanet -. whose . rendition - of . j Nevln's
'"Mighty j Lak" a Rose," was really a
very fine piece of work; for a child of
such tender years; ' and - Russell, aged
three, made the biggest , kind of a hit
when he sang, accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. Fenton, "Somebody's
Coming to My House." It -was an eve
ning long to b,e , remembered by those
who were fortunate enough to be pres
ent. . j
.Two large tables were utilized to'ae-l
commodate the guests at supper, upon
which everything in the line of good
"eats" was spread.

REV. DR. SWAIN'S VIEWS
ON THE DEATH PENALTY

' The Rev. Dr. Swain, pastor of the
Second Congregational church, when
questioned concerning his opinion of
the hanging of Mrs. Wakefield, said
that he was not familir enough with
the circumstances of the case to have
reached any .decision on It.
"Apart from that, on the question
of capital punishment," continued Dr.
Swain, "I have been for sometime un
decided.. '
I have always thought," said he.
that I should hate to be the one to
pronounce the' death penalty to aay
to anyone that they, must die and . yet
I know that those things which are
for ,the highest good ,- of society must
rule. I thoroughly believe, that so
ciety needs protection from auch vici-

Recreation In A Big Red Barn
How a Social. Center Was Started In a Rural Town,
Fred Eastman, Secretary, Matinecock Neighborhood Ass6ciation?
. '-'' Locut Valley, New York. .
(Exclusive Service The
, This Is the story of how our village
has fought' for clean recreations and
won them.
I will begin with the status of af
fairs last September when r first came
into this community . to work am sec
retary of a Neighborhood Association
and pastor of a email country churcn
of twenty-two members. Community
spirit and community, recreations haa
died. Practically the only recreations
the village afforded were those bt the
saloons, of which we had five.
yet there was one organization Iet
among the young men. At was caneu
the Firllng Athletic Club with a really
active membership of about fifteen. It
met once a week In an aoanaonea
shoemaker's shop, about eight feet wide
and ten feet long.
Goinz to a young man who had
spoken to me about starting a boys'
club, I asked him if he would help me
call a mass meeting of the young men
of the village for Friday night of .that
week. It was then Monday. He-prom
ised to do so. .'
But there was no use waiting until
Friday -night to begin operations. I
got myself invited to a meeting of the
Firling Athletic Club. This seemed the
logical place to begin. I played cards
with them, smoked several pipes with
them and swappeU yarns with them.
I told them I had a. proposition 'to put
before them.
This was the proposition: First, they
were to give up their present organi
zation. That meant a sacrifice, fer it
had been founded by man for whom
they had a feeling of great loyalty.
and associations and memories dear to
them had gathered round it.
Athletics was not the only form of
recreation that we needed. We needed
sports for our kid brothers .nd sis
ters, for our fathers and mothers. We
needed dances and euchres and sup
pers, we needed a motion picture
show, a club roomsand a dozen other
forms of play, so that all ages and
conditions could enjoy life as well as
we who were interested in athletics.
Second, they were to unite with the
rest of the fellows of the village in
forming an organization which would
furnish the entire community, old and
young, with clean recreations and
plenty of them.
Third, we would form It in this way:
Draft 'a petitioii to the Neighborhood
Association to take us in as full
fledged members on payment of the
regular dues of one dollar a year, and
then to commission us as a recreation
department to furnish recreation to the
whole community
Friday night came. We had the
mass meeting in a shed that was used
for the apparatus of the volunteer lire
department. I think I shall never for
get that night. About 40 boys from 16
to 25 years of age were present. They
lined up their chairs along the wall of
the room and a dozen or more etood m
the doorway. I had to do all the talk
ing. For the life of me I couldn't get
any boy to open his head.
'All right, fellows," I said, "think
about this one week. Discuss it. TVt
will meet again one week from tonight
in this room."
The propoeal to start this organiza
tion for recreation was the talk of the
town for the next week. The Firling
Athletic Club held two or three meet
ings to discuss giving up their own or
ganization for the sake of the larger
one. I naa written Mr. Fining, the
founder of the club, who now lived in
New Jersey,- and a sired him to help
my proposition if he saw fit.
Mr. Firling came all the way from
his home in New Jersey to help the
plan along and I found him here In

night. The boys asked me to go over
the proposition again. I , did. As 'x
finished I drew from my pocket the ps- j
tion all ready to sign. -"Who wants to
sign It first?" I asked. Again utter si
lence. Then Mr. Firling reached for
the petition. After him every young
man in the room put his name down.
The next night things went swim
mingly at the mass meeting.
Sunday morning . we , devoted our
church service "to the interests of clean
recreation. When the time for the ser
mon came I discussed the subject with
out condemning the few recreations
the young people had and without the
ological vocabulary.
At three o'clock that afternoon the
directors of the Neighborhood Associa
tion met. All were present. The peti
tion went through with a blessing at
tached a blessing with a fifty dollar
appropriation to start aspeclal treas
ury for the department. The direc
tors appointed an executive committee
made up of two directors and five boj
and told us to go ahead. "
The committee never touched the fif
ty dollars the directors had voted them.
Instead It met at once and organized
sub-committees.
Each committee set to work. The
temporary quarters committee secured
a barn in a convenient location from
Neighbor Allen, a public spirited citi
zen,, at the nominal rental of ten dol
lars .a month. The boys themselves
fitted up that barn with a vestibule, a
dance floor and a ' movable partition.
Then- we called, upon the neighbors to
equip it with discarded articles that
might be of use In the club room. We
sent out a list of the things we needed.
Rich and poor responded. One-man
could give only a cuspidor, another a
second-hand pool table, but when the
answers to the call had all been re
ceived we found we had the following
equipment: Stove, chandeliers, graph
ophone, dishes, chimney, Indoor base
ball set, $150 pool table, pocket stops
for same, 5 leather chairs, whiting for
walls, 12 decks of cards, piano, cuspi
dors, 3 sets checkers, 3 sets dominoes,
boxing gloves, card tables, reading
lamp, window shades, 3 1-2 dozen
glaeses. 24 chairs, oil stove, 15 yards
cocao matting, water pitcher, 5 folding
chairs, $137.87 in cash, . subscriptions to
Boys' Life, Playground, Popular Mag
azine, Saturday Evening Post, Nation
al Geographic Magazine and. Outing
Magazine. The Firling Athletic Club
turned over its entire equipment of 9
chairs, 2 tables, 20 cups, a coffee boiler,
an iron pail and its treasury of $42.87.
Meanwhile the entertainment com
mittee shouldered the burden of pay
ing the running expenses of the -club
room by giving some form of public
entertainment every two weeks. Our
expenses have run from $40 to $45 a
month, including rent, light, heat, jan
itor and deterioration. - -
The house committee was the last to
get started, but it has- been no less ef
ficient. It proposed Juet two rules,
both of which were adopted by unani
mous vote. One rule is, no booze; the
other, no gambling.
I do not Know where all the boys
come from, but today, a year from the
time we started this department, we
find that there are 148 young men u. I
it, governing themselves, paying their
own expenses and furnishing suppers.

fathers and mothers and brothers and
sisters. These young men are between
the ages of 16 and 35 and all of them.

One of the best results of the depart
ment has been the forming of a band
which now has a membership of twenty-two.
Ten weeks ago not one of
these boys knew a musical note.
That's the story. Neighbor Allen's

and a road and a swamp in front. But
