REPORT OF .
GRAND JURY
AFTER TWENTY-TWO DAYS OF
LABORS JURORS ARE
DISCHARGED.
(Juneau Empire.)
The federal grand jury-, which
has been in session for 22 days,
completed its labors this afternoon,
after returning several secret in
dictments and making a general re
: port, and was then discharged.
No information was given out
regarding the secret indictments. *
The report of the grand jui>cov
! ers five typewritten pages of legal
j sited paper. The jury recommends
I a concrete building for the cook
house of the federal jail; increase
> in wages; and general improvements
| which are needed around the fed
i tral buildings. New Furnishings are
1 also recommended for the jail and
’ a padded cell is believed to be a
needed addition.
The attention of the officials is
I called to the lack of a department
: for investigation in the First Di
vision. The jury reports that there
i is an unbelievable amount of crime
: and vice going unpunished solely
. for the lack of sufficient evidence
| to convict. Such evidence is im
’ possible to secure without the aid
of an investigating department, the
lack of which is one of the weak
est points in efforts to enforce laws.
Particularly at this time is such a
department necessary when many
.undesirable characters are coming
from Oregon and Washington, which
recently became prohibition States.
A department of investigation is
urged to be established with head
quarters at Juneau.
The infraction of the game laws
are also gone into.
Liquor investigations revealed as
tonishing conditions. It is charged
that liquor is being sold to men
while in an intoxicated condition;
that liquor dealers have allowed
their back rooms to be used on
Sundays for dances at which beer
and other drinks were sold; that
minors have been allowed to fre
quent saloons; and that liquor Is
being sold in houses of ill-fame
without a license. The grand jury
desired that a warning be issued
i "to violators of the law and that
they have their licenses revoked in
case of continual violations.
THE CURFEW BELL.
So many towns ring the curfew
bell to warn the children that nine
o’clock p. m. must find them safe
in the home nest, it is interesting
to know that the curfew bell orig
inated in the time of William the
| Conquerer. A “curfew” was a fire
| cover of metal, shaped like a hood
with a handle by which it was lift
ed. It had an opening on one side
and was about ten inches in height.
Because fires in early days were
made on large open hearths, the
smoke escaping through a rude
chimney or even through a hole in
the roof, fire risk was great. It
was ordered that every householder
before retiring must cover his fire
[ with a couvre-feu, meaning “cover
; the fire.” Tie scraped the embers
. together at the back of the hearth,
futtir.- the cover over them, the
open part close against the chim
ney.
A bell was rung in the market
place at an early hour every night
as a signal that people must ex
tinguish their fires and go to bed.
The term “curfew” was associated
with the ringing of the bell. But
in William the Conqueror's time a
curfew was nothing more poetical
than a plain metal fire extinguish
er.—From the People’s Home Journ
al for May.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
ADVICES TO AVOID ANNOYING
MATTERS BY THE P. T.
ASSOCIATION.
(Coaltle P.-I.)
CENTRALIA, April 6.—Mrs. C.
' E. Beach, of Olympia, president of
the State Congress of Mothers’ and
Parent-Teacher Associations, deliver
ed her address to the State conven
tion this morning. She discussed
the growth of the national and
; State organizations and their ideals
and purposes. In part she stud:
“We are just homekeepers. The
woman who aspires to distinction or
personal advancement has no place
in ■ the Congress of Mothers—and if
you should happen to have a wom
an of that sort in your community,
j see that she is kept out of office.
| No greater harm can come to us
[ as an organization than will come
I through women who neglect homes
: and children to run to and fro in
the earth, even though it is os
| tensibly to boost parent-teacher as
| sociations. Those who would bring
I honor to the congress, and to them
i selves as well, are those who will
1 do the work that lies nearest, mak
; ing as nearly as possible ideal
i homes, and then giving of leisure
: time toward promoting the organi
zation that has for its motto, ‘Child
i welfare in home, school, church and
j state.’
“In the issue of the paper you
have just received I emphasized the
i fact that we must not commercial
i ize our parent-teacher associations,
j and I feel that this is the time to
, warn you again of this danger. Re
| member, we are not organized to
! raise money. A very small amount
j of that sort of thing is sometimes
expedient, but the real reason for
! the Congress of Mothers and Par
j ent-Teachers’ Associations is to
j bring into our lives as fathers and
! mothers greater efficiency to do our!
.work well.
“Because of the intimate asso
ciation of teachers with our child-!
ren, they have been asked to join '■
us, that together we may study the j
problems confronting us all and so j
gain the greatest good. In many j
communities the teachers have been I
the* first to realize the importance j
of co-operation with the parents. In j
others the parents have taken the i
lead.”
FLOWERS OF THE PASSION.
Some of the early Italian paint
1 ers have in the foreground of the#
crucifixion scenes the white wood
soller, purple stained, which is said
to have grown at the foot of the
cross and to have been colored from
| the blood which dropped upon it.
The fact, as Ruskin points out, that
the leaf of -this plant possessed the
power of quenching thirst may have
been another reason for its intro
duction into the pictures.
One species of the orchid, which
m England is called Gethsemane
and whose pestals are marked with
dark stains; the passion flower, sym
bolical of the crown, the scourage.
the spear and the nails; the arum,
tiger lily and scarlet anemone—all.
it was believed, were mute witness
es of the crucifixon. And the white
.lily, emblem of purity, has always
been connected with the stories of
the Virgin and of Christ.
In Palestine there gTows a creep
j inS Plant with long, hard thorns—
’ the Spina christi—which may have
furnished material for the crown
of thorns placed on the Savior’s
1 head. One of th^ legends .says that
the willow was used for this pur
pose and that in sorrow for Its
fate its leaves droop and it weeps.
