THE WOODEN STOCKINGS OF
FRANCE.
The farmers Of France have always
been noted for their thrift They are
good customers because they can pay
for what they buy Nearly every
peasant, man or woman, has money IN
the savings bank or in stocks or hid

stocking
When De I4esseps was pouring mil
lions into the Panama canal he was
Gsked where the money came from. He
replied: From the wooden stockings

dreds of millions more" 1t was these
same stocking boards that paid the
cost of the Franco German war; the
greatest payment ever made by one
nation to another. The cost of the war
and of the indemnity amcsnted to
more than s30OO,OOO00O The govern
ment issued bonds. and the peasant
farmers of France brought out their
stocklngs and bought them. Since then
these stockings have again become full

STRENGTH IN SOME FORM,
The Quality Above All Else That
Woman Admires In Man.

Hnc auaIty ABOVE All Else Ihat
Woman Admires In Man.
Women abhor towards and still more
sneaRs, though l regret to say they
often endure cads in way that bellies
their intelligence and good taste. They
have quite pathetic desire to look up
to men, to feel men their superiors in
strength of body and of mind, ia calm
ness of judgment and clearness of in
tellect. And it is indeed a pity that
men so often seem to go out of their
way to destroy their most cherished
Illusions.
Above everything woman admires
strength In man. 1t may be strength
of body-she will worship a Hercules
with the brain Of guinea pig. 1t may
be strength of intellect-she will adore
a savant with the body of a gibbon
monkey. 1t may be strength of char
acter-she will break her heart for a
politician or a financier who is I'M
swervingly wrapped up in dreams of
personal advancement. and who pos
seSseS no more heart than an oyster.
But strength in some form she Graves
increasingly. 1t is a hereditary in
stinct that has been belueathed to her
through Ewes first disappointment
when Adam was tried in the balance
and, found wanting. Woman. secretly
conscious of her own physical weak
ness and lack of intellectual strength,
demands strength from man to make
up for her own deficiencies. Even the
strongest women, strong in body and
mind. well balanced as Athene herself,
though they may shield and protect
the weakness of the men they love
and stoop to help them, will never do
so without secret feeling Of contempt
which is destruction Of all ideals. Man.
in spite Of that deplorable start made
by Adam. was intended to be woman's
protector and refuge from all harm.
upon whom she could lean and rely in
every event of life's pilgrimage, and
when the roles are reversed, as they
often SO unfortunately are, it Is a bad
thing both for man and woman.
Strength, however, is what women
love in men.-Lady Colin Campbell

FRIcK MAY SUCCEED HIM.
Generally Agreed That President
SchWab Must Retire.

SchWap MUST HetIre.
New York, Aug. 19.-The retirement
of Charles M. Schwab from the presi-
dency of the United States Steel cor
poration is now commonly accepted as
determined upon, Notwithstanding re-
cent official denials and present re-
luctance in Official quarters to confirm
the report. President Schwab's i'm
paired health is the reason for this &C.
ton. In we'll informed quarters it is
believed that his retirement will be
followed by extensive changes in the
membership of the organization. The
succession to the presidency is a mat
ter of surmise only and if it has been
decided no information can be had on
the subject. But there are many posi-
tons of importance in the United
States Steel corporation now held by
persons who are there on account of
personal ties with Mr.. Schwab and
who remained with the corporation
from a devotion to his interests, grow
ing from former association in the Car
nsSie company.
It has been reported that the presi-
dency would pass to James Gayley, the
first vice president of the corporation.
Other rumors have pointed to H. G.
Prick.

PRECOCiOUS AUTHORS.
Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys In Their Teens.

Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys In Their Teens.
Was a successful play ever written
by boy Of fourteen? asks CORE
spondent. Yes. This seeming miracle
has happened at least three times. The
best known example of the precocious
playwright is the celebrated LOpe de
La Vega, the most prolific dramatist
known to history. He produced his
first play, comedy, entitled LA Pas
toral de Jacinto," before he had COM
pleted his fourteenth year. and this
was considered such marvellous per-
Torrance that he is known to this day
in Spanish literature as 1.-The Prodigy
Of Nature" Another Spaniard and con-
temporary of La Vega, Pedro Calde-
ron, wrote his first play when he was
thirteen. MetaStasiO wrote his tragedy
"Grustino" and had it produced when
he was fourteen on the stage at Bo-
logna.
OF English playwrights Douglas Jer-
rold, the famous author of BLACK
Eyed Susan" also furnishes an answer
to the question. In 1918, before he had
completed his fifteenth year, he wrote
very well known farce. entitled
more Frightened Than Hurt" 1t was
very successful on the English stage,
and the French considered it good
enough to steal. Curiously enough.
this French translation was retrans-
lated into English and again produced
on the English boards under the title
Of Fighting by Proxy" Another very
remarkable instance of a different" sort
Of precocity was that Of William Hen
ry Ireland, who when he was about
fifteen actually produced some plays
which he attributed to Shakespeare
and which, although afterward proved
to be fofgeries, were accepted by the
experts Of the time as genuine.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

Vacant Position.

Pittsburg, Aug. ia Loretta (Pa.)
special to the Pittsburg Dispatch says:
President Charles M. Schwab of the
United States Steel corporation has &C.
eepted the advice of his physicians and
decided to retire indefinitely from an
active business life. He will leave
America to seek some quiet nook in a
foreign cline, where not an echo of the
strenuous life he has led can reach
him. This information is authentic.
DR.. Golden never leaves the Schwab
home and the exact nature of his pa.
TENTS illness cannot be learned
through him.
Mr.. Schwab is not confined to his
bed, but spends much of his time on
the wide veranda which affords fresh
air and a sweeping view of the noun
tain slope. He is always with his wife
or his parents.
The strange part of Mr.. Schwab's
illness is that is always within view
OF those who call at his house, yet he
will not allow any person to approach
him. Heretofore the visitor to the
Schwab home was greeted with a
hearty welcome and vigorous hand
shake. Now the visitor is met at the
entrance and told that Mr.. Schwab
cannot be seen. Intimates of the fam
lily receive the same message and none
has been able to converse with Pres
ident Schwab since he came back to
his home. The correspondent then
says:
The knowledge of the people of Lo.
retta is that Mr.. 5chwab is going
away somewhere. His destination will
be kept secret and he will do nothing
but seek health until his nerves have
been restored to their normal condition
and his mind fully relieved of the
great strain resulting from so many
business. cares" NJ
