arduous work. Despite che torrid heat
and the wet season in the tropics, Miss
Beeks made diligent research into the
manner in which the employees of Uncle
Sam are housed, fed and amused while
digging the huge waterway.
For the last ten years Miss Beeks has
been at the head of the welfare work CT
the National Civic federation. In con-
nection with this associa tion she has tray-

The Paramount Question.
A certain paragraph intended for our
Discovery" pages is so fraught with
human interest, impinges so directly
upon one of the most acute of domestic
problems, that we have been moved to
thunder. The paragraph comes from
A. l.. W." of Ontario, Canada. Says
the lady;
IF you have a good maid with a
weakness for melodramatic fiction, you
will add to the probability of her re-

the point of leaving till her mistress, two
years ago, adopted the plan of nourish-

staying power than most breakfast

The chirography of this paragraph is
distinctly English. But hearts are
hearts the world around" and as against
the fair Lady Evelyn we are ready to
give our adherence to Jessie, the Bea lie
tiful Saleslady, or such other American

Women Physicians
The New Orleans Picayune opposes
admitting women to the medical depart
ment of Tulane university unless in sep
arate classes, on the ground that il
would strip them of the veil of their
innate goodness, virtue and modesty."
| The Picayune says:
whatever may be claimed for the
intellectual. social and political equal
ity of the sexes, and however we may
propose to destroy all the barriers that
prevent women from assuming all the
rights they may claim, the fact of sex
remains, and its recognition must be
the basis of all sane and moral social
organization, and until the dreams of
communistic and anarchistic theorists
shall be generally realized and accepted,
society must rest ON that basis"
Meanwhile, in the medical schools of
most of our state universities, and
throughout almost the whole Of Europe.

medicine without being Segregated"
