WOMEN AS PHYSICIANS.

women are unfit to be DOCTORS"
says the eminent, but ungallant Ger
man surgeon, Professor Won Berg
man, who has given the following
opinion in an interview:
Il am most decidedly against
women studying medicine, for they
are neither physically nor mentally
equal to the task. So long as men
cooks and men tailors exist-that is,
so long as women are unable to claim
cooking and sewing trades as their
monopoly-they cannot compete with
men doctors.
Were it possible to obliterate sex
distinctions, women might become
good doctors, but that is not to be
thought of. Women certainly can do
excellent scientific work, but they'are
incapable of fighting With the excite
ments and responsibilities OF the doc
tors profession and with the desper-
ate situations in which the medical
man is often placed"
DR.. Helen Childs, of Jamaica
Plain, says:
Professor Won Pergman is voicing,
l believe, the sentiment Of the mSn of
Germany. The ideal of wonNnhood
has seemed to be merely "a type of
housekeeping women who shall bring
up a family of children. l do not
want to deprecate that type of wom-
en-. There are woman who will find
their greatest happiness in just such
a life. There are other women, how
ever, who are fhted. physically and
mentally, to become doctors, lawyers
to enter into the same fields that
men enter.
The women who have given their
lives to the profession of doctoring
the sick have given evidence of their
ability, and need no defense. 1t is
not so very long ago that women
have had that opportunity, and ]
think they show for themselves what
they are capable of.
"A woman is in many ways better
fitted to be a doctor than q man Is
She is intuitive, sympathetic, tactful
and she can devote more time to hel
profession than can a man, because
she has not the diversity of interest
Her whole life is bound up in her pro.
fession, and she is bound to make z
success of it.

GIRL BUILDS BATTLESHIPS.

There is one Boston girl who may
look the part of a secretary for some
home for stray cats, but who is build
ing battleships.
She is Miss Lydia Gould Weld, OF a
famous and wealthy old New England
family. She is employed by the New
port News Shipbuilding and Drydock
Construction Company.
When just budding into woman
hood Miss Weld concluded to be OF
some use in the world, A little story
Is told concerning an interesting ses-
sion between Miss Weld and Mrs.
Lucia Ames Mead, sometimes termed
"a temporal vice-regent of the Prince
of Peace" Miss Weld had ane
nounced her intention of learning to
build battleships. Mrs. Mead was
Mortified.
my dear Miss Weld acclaimed
Mrs. Mead, "one battleship costs as
much as an entire university. One is
educational and the other is totally
destructive. I am astounded."
my dear Mrs. Mead" responded
the girl, "your mathematics are cor
rect, but I question your logic. FIRE.
Quently there are occasions in the
onward march of civilization when
one good battleship, properly
handled, is worth more to God and
humanity than forty average uni
versities."
So Miss Weld fitted for technology
and matriculated. Downing her
leather apron, barring her well-bred
arms, greasing, olng and blackening
her pretty fingers, she worked at the
bench, the forge, the lathe, the anvil
and at her books. After three years
of savage plugging at naval architec-
ture, Miss Weld graduated at the
head of her class.
Miss Weld one day amazed the mil
lionaire owner of big steam yacht
by running the pilot house out and
heavy sea.
President circuit, of the big New
port News Company, is very proud OF
his fair employe, and says that he
hopes that his company will get the
! contract forthe "Skeered- % -Nothin'."
If he does, Miss Weld, frail, gentle
bred New England girl, will have the
proud distinction of making all the
working plans for the greatest, most
powerful, fastest and most terrible
upholder of peace that the world has
ever known.-Boston Post.

DETRACT FROM BEAUTY.

Exercise abused is one Of the chief
destroyers of womanly beauty.
Over-devotion to bicycling encour-
ages certain unattractive peculiarities
of expression and development. The
foot is broadened and the ankle en-
larged The rider is often carried
into associations that make her bold
and mannish. Yet bicycling in mod
Grafton is one Of the most enjoyable
and beneficial sports and develops a
trim, shapely, agile body, light and
graceful in motion.
Overeating makes more bad COM
plexions than the hottest sun and
most biting wind.
So-called realistic drama and nov
els produce an influence that makes
a woman coarse and vulgar very, very
quickly, with this gormandizing goes
hand in hand. Dress, too, for the last
half decade, has been demoralizing in
its tendencies.
Coarse thoughts and ugly tempers
make coarse mouths and heavy lips.
Over-sensitiveness with reference
to some defect and vanity are grave
faults and cause unhappiness which
is the chief destroyer of beauty.
Bad manners detract from beauty
more than ugly eyes, hair, or teeth.

RUBBER OUTLOOK
IS PROMISING
tContinued from Page one.l

The reason for apprehension that the
Smith explains, due to the craze which
seems to have overtaken capital all
over the world In regard to rubber
''The world has gone rubber mad" Mr..
Smith declared in an interview yester-
| day. land everybody with money to
invest seems to be wanting to get it
invested in this industry"
The madness is not without some
sound reason, for the decrease in the
production of the natural supply of
rubber from the wild forests in several
parts of the world, and the huge in
crease in consumption demanded by
the increasing use of this indispensable
product, particularly in vehicle tires,
has forced the price to a point which
makes the rubber business, as Mr.
Smith puts it, "the greatest agricul-
turl gold mine in the world today"
Regarding the outlook for the indus
try in Hawaii, Mr.. Smith says that
there is no question that it will be a
success, although up to the present time
there has been no output from the big
plantations. Some of the companies,
however, have trees which should be
large enough to bear within the next
eighteen months, and many more will
follow in rapid order. One or the Ma
vi companies has between 500 and 300
acres set out in rubber trees, which
number 100000. The other companies
have also lately added largely to their
acreage, and at the present time the
Investment in rubber in the Territory
must represent at least 100000.
Almost all of the business up to the
present time is in the form of big COM
panies, but Mr.. Smith states that he
sees no reason why it should not be
profitably carried on on a small scale
by limited capital, and in time, by Sc
lection Of trees, increase the yield
which is now possible per acre. mas
much as up to the present time the
methods of gathering the product and
preparing it for market has been of
the simplest and most primitive ina
ENABLE, the outlay for plant need be
almost nil. The variety of rubber tree
which seems best adapted for Hawaii,
is old enough for tapping in from four
to six years.
