VANS oF AMERIcAN WoMEN
Fair Sex in Politics Is So Rare as to
Be Abnormal-Never Take Part
in Elections.

American women take little OIL
no interest in politics, asserts
Mrs. Craigie, in the London Chron
icle. A woman taking a keen in
terest in politics is really so rare
as to be abnormal. Women play
no part in the elections. 1t shows
how adaptable American women
are that when they marry English
husbands and come here they gen
orally come to the front in elec-
pioneering.
What is the reason? Well, 1t
simply is not the custom. All
American men are interested in
politics, whether they go in for
them much or not, but it simply is
not the custom for women to un-
derstand anything either about
politics or business. American
husbands, you know, never talk to
their wives about professional or
business affairs. And the wives
interest themselves in literary
and musical and artistic matters.
And of course in social matters
the American woman is supreme.
All that ! mean is that in Amer
lea, men have to subordinate them
selves entirely to women's inter
ests. / don't say the women are
the happier for it, only say it is
the fact.
Personally, l think the French
method, where the wife is told
everything about the money af-
fairs, is the best. OF course, an
American woman may be spend.
ing money lavishly while her hus.
band is in actual dificulties-it
OIten happens. Inc men take a
pride in seeing the women magnif-
dressed, and in giving them
jewels and fine houses. And yet
the American man is not at all os-
tentatious for himself. However,
] must say that if American wo-
men meet with great reverses Of
they are always very cour-
ageous about them; the habit of
mind is very phiIosophic in Amer
lea.
And they are always very bright

Great veneration in India-Angle
Of Leaves Is Key.

Almost every magazine has a
small advertisement for a plant
known to botanists as "abrus pre-
Catorius," or weather plant. 1t is
a climbing exotic, and is held In
great generation by the natives of
India, who say that the state Of
the weather may be told some
time in advance by the position
which the leaves assume. Though
this theory is disputed by some, it
Is held by botanists of established
reputation as being within the
bounds Of reason. Atmosphere
unquestionably affects the leaves
Of flowers and plants and shrubs,
and to a close observer this action
may indicate coming changes in
weather which can be correctly
foreshadowed.
One of the great beauties of the
plant is Its small egg shaped seeds
Of bright scarlet tipped with &
black spot. These seeds are very
hard, and for this reason are used
for necklaces and ornamental pur-
poses. Their size is so uniform

standard of weight, and called

American citizens. This is not
because they read more than Others.
but because their reading matter is
better selected, is read under conditions
less ~distracting and more favorable to

commercial pursuits.
While Louisville will be the host

Louisville, and in addition to this, it
is proposed to have side trip tickets

O'Clock Until 8 in the
Evening.

Salt Lakes butchers and grocers and
all their friends turned out to Saltair
Wednesday and made the butchers
and grocers' annual barbecue a huge
success from all standpoints. The to-
tai number who Joined to make the
affair the success 1t was. was about
1000. which is a record d-breaker for the
annual barbecue. And tho best of 1t
all was that the butchers and groCers
had made great and extensive arrange
ments for showing the crowd that their
association Is not only made up of n
jolly bunch. but also Il liberal one The
butchers were on hand in their white
aprons and big knives, and with $500
pounds of roasted beef. five casks of
pickles and 1000 loaves of bread. The
barbecue started at 2 o'clock, when the
crowd OF people began to flock up TO
the stand where the big handouts were
being arranged, Each one was given
liberal supply of bread, plenty of beef
and big pickle. on paper plate.
Some were content with one hand
out" but others returned for a second
helping. The corps Of twelve butchers
was kept busy from o'clock until s
feeding the crowd. At that hour all of
the edibles were gone.
Athletics Did Not Matcrlallze.
A number of athletic events had been
arranged for by the association, but
these, for some reason, failed to ma
terialize. The whole crowd was salts
fed in the afternoon with sitting In the
shade and carrying out to the letter the
good old saying Of Eat, drink and be
merry" Later. hundreds took to the
water and enjoyed a swim, This was
especially popular In the latter part of
the afternoon, when the beach was
covered with people.
A Mighty Success.
In the evening the crowd took to
dancing, and the big pavilion was
taxed to It's capacity until the last train
OF the night left for the city. The nu-
merous other attractions at the resort,
such as the scenic railway the "Old
Mill" the Saltair theater. all received
good patronage, The music was good,
the barbecue was good, and the whole
affair was a mighty success,
