LADIEs' COLUMN.


THE first thing l say to a woman,
says an authority on physical culture
and It's attendant ethics, when she
comes to me for advice and sugges-
ton, is turn your back to me- II
is remarkable how few women pre-
sent a good looking back, straight
and shapely, with shoulder tips in
line, elbows not poking, hips even.
and no protuberant shoulder blades.
I'm one of her stories Mrs. Cruger
makes a clever. fashionable woman,
who is displaying a Worth gown to
some friends, ask anxlously: Is the
back rlght?' and when told that it is
the perfection of elegant fit in the
back, say, with relief Then ! shall
keep it.
Zone has so many resources to
conceal an uniting 'front.'; ones
arms and hands, )ow of ribbon and
the like, but the back is hopeless,
and must be above reproach, or
words of similar effect. Mrs. Cruger
Is right, and she might have gone
further. The back is not only the
crucial test of a woman's gown, 1t
also is OF her general appearance. A
good back is rare. Watch women on
the street and you will be surprised
to see how few will own one"

Sveaborg is a strongly fortified
town of Russian Finland, situated on
seven islands in the Gulf Of Finland
Immediately southeast of Helsingfors.
The islands, which are connected by
pontoons, form the site of a fortress
which defends the harbor of Helsing-
fors and consists of numerous mill
tary works and batteries and mill
tary arsenal. Sveaborg also has an
excellent harbor. The fortress was
constructed in 1749, was betrayed to
the Russians May 8, 1908, and was
bombarded by an Anglo-French fleet
August 8, 10, 1855, during the Cri-
mean war.
The Island of Skatudden lies close
to the city of Helsingfors, with which
it is connected by short bridge. 1t
is half a mile long and about quar-
ter of mile wide and is given over
entirely to the fortress. The Gov
eminent railway from st. Petersburg
encircles the city and terminates
upon Skatudden Island The Skat-
udden fortress is about three miles
from Sveaborg.
Helsingfors is an important sea-
port town, capital of Finland, and
connected by rail with st. Petersburg,

How to Save Coal.

In addressing the Glasgow Univer-
sity Engineering society the other
day the president, G. T. Beilby, said
that there are in Great Britain steam
engines and boilers with yearly out
put Of at least 100000 horse power.
The coal consumed by these is not
less than five pounds per indicated
horse power hour, or, the whole 40
100000. BY the use Of gas engines
and steam turbines the coal con-
sumption might be reduced to one
and one-half pounds per indicated
horse power hour, or on the whole to
100000 tons. The saving in coal,
therefore, would be equal to 28,000,-
900 tons, valued at 100000 pounds.
The cost of making the change need
not exceed 5O,OOO,000 pounds, or, if
the power is to be delivered as cleo
tricity, 6O,OOO,0OO pounds, or respec-
lively 100000 and 100000
900.
Theoretical economies of this kind,
he added, were often disregarded,
but in the present instance they
would amour to over sixteen per
cent. on the capital expenditure, and
still more would result If one takes
credit for more efficient plant reduc-
ing working costs.

Errors About the White House.

To the Editor:
noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that IL was
In your columns an article on the
White House which contained several
mis-sta tements.
In the first place It was stated the
White House was first occupied ia
1909, and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
first occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there In
1900.
The original mansion was begun
In 1892. In 1914 II was burned by
the British and rebuilt in 1918,
Another of the errors in the artl-
Gle referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House TO make II beautifully
white.
] noticed this especially because
have used considerable paint myself,
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building, when allpainters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t so happened also that knew
white lead and llnseed oil - not
Teady-mixed paint-were used On the
White House, because had just read
a booklet published by a firm OF
ready-mixed paint manufacturers,
who also manufacture pure white
lead. In that book the manufacture
ers admitted that for the White
House nothing but "the best and
purest of paint could be used" and
said that their pure white lead had
been selected.
Above all people those who at
tempt to write on historical subjects
should give us facts, even If II is
OnIy "a uAJe OF SIHIement auOut

building material, Yours for truth,

GRAY SQUIRREL BABIES.
Small as a Peanut, Blind, Hairless ana
5orn-When2

DOIH-WHGHG
It's dull day now when ,ne nature
folks don't get into a new squabble
OF some sort. Just at present the read.
ers OF Suburban Life are torn up over
the question of gray squirrels.
Says Edward Howe Forbush THE
gray squirrel brings forth it's young
annually, | think in May, but often
has another brood late in August or
early in September"
This sounds all right to the unna
tured person, but not so to s. H.
French, who says: From my expert
ence in raising gray squirrels | can
say that usually they are born in Feb
ruary and March, although | have had
some litters as late as July. In fact,
at this writing, on March 10, l have
a nest of little ones that were prob.
ably born two or three days ago. The
young squirrels resemble young rats
and when born are about as large as
a small peanut
They are, of course, entirely de-
void of hair and we do not notice any
indications in that direction until they
are three or four weeks old. Their
eyes are not open until the age of six
weeks; from that time on they seem
to develop quite rapidly, but seldom
leave the nest until they are from 10
weeks to three months of age.
"At that time they become quite
playful, a good deal after the manner
of kittens, especially when everything
They are naturally very shy, and it is
difficult to handle them with any de.
gree of comfort, as they squirm and
fight to free themselves"

Miss Scherer's Start.

In most cases the San Franciscans
have made their new start in life
with courage and hope. A particu-
larly interesting instance of rising to
the demands of the occasion was that
of Miss Mabel Sherer, a bright and
good looking young stenographer,
whose place of employment and her
home were both destroyed by quake
and fire. Miss Scherer snved -~t','~s
but trunk, with which she and her
crippled father managed to get to a
park, where they were given shelter
in a tent. Further aid Miss Scherer
declined to accept, as she was too
proud spirited to take her stand in
the bread line. The trunk contained
500 in gold-her savings-and with
this she bought wagon and neces-
sary stock, and at once setup a porta-
BILE coffee and waffle kitchen. This
she managed with such success that
soon she was doing a flourishing
trade. In fact, her new business has
proved so much more profitable than
her old calling that she will probably
not return to the latter. 1t is not
wild prediction that one possessed of
so much energy and business talent
will some day be the prosperous head
of some big establishment.-Leslie'S
Weekly.

First of all 1t must be pointed out
that no press of any country attains
to that supreme potentially over
popular opinion which has been
achieved by the press of America.
Were it guilty, as whole, of animus
toward England, the present AMIGA
BILE relations of the two countries
would be impossible of continuance.
The idea intended to be conveyed
will perhaps be clearer to those who
have visited or lived in America, and
have realized with what marvellous
celebrity and strength the public pulse
of that country responds to press
suggestion and agitation-respond
in way that is apparently quite
foreign to English character. The
extreme sensitiveness of popular
judgment in the United States has
been to many an able, cultured Amer
lean source of deep concern. They
have seen grave issues, upon which
they believed the future welfare of
the country to depend, tossed and
banded by the flippant influence of
certain sections of the press that
neither professed nor practiced
moral or political principle. Yet to-
day the majo"ity of those who once
wrung their hands at the lack of all
sense of moral responsibility exhibit
ed by many American papers have
come to the conclusion that an evo-
luton, greater than they dreamed
Of, has been in process. and that out
Of evil good has come; for recent
history In America shows that, in the

So-called wandering pains" may
come from It's early stages, or the
presence of danger may be made mani

panied by unusual pain, from the
abdomen through the groin and thighs.

are indications of inflammation or dis
placement, secure a bottle of Lydia E.

TelIjnu the Time.

One of the accurate ways of telling
the time is to use your hand as an
hour mark. Nothing simpler. All
farmers not possessed of watches or
clocks, and who have some practical
notions Of common utilities not in
vented by man but given to us by the
Creator know the rule. 1t is necessary
to keep in mind the hour Of sunrise
and sunset and to hold the arm
straight out from the shoulder, with
the hand at right angles, bending from
the wrist forward. II the sun sets at
O'Clock, and is still high in the heav-
ems, close one eye and make three
measures Of the width of the palm
near the thumb. Each measure means
three hours, so that the time thus OBJ
tanned is z less 3, or 4 o'clock With
practice you can beat the average
watch.-New York Press.

We have followed the pillow, WELD
ed the hoe, served time on the public
roads under an austere overseer,
swept the back yard, worked the gar
den, churned the butter, washed the
dishes, nursed the baby and per-
formed other various and sundry dis
agreeable tasks in our time without
murmur, but when it comes to
cleaning streets under three lady
bosses - excuse us, please. Three
women to boss you. Great Caesar s

catastrophe is enough to give a man
the buck ague. "-Minden (La.) Sig
