Mrs. Lydia Johnson, widow, be-
lieves in the ability of her sex to do
almost anything man can do, and,
when taking care of fiat buildings is
considered, she has proved her belief,
for Mrs Johnson does the paper hang

apartments and does not hesitate to
decorate window frames three stories
up
She is a carpenter also, can hit a
nail with a hammer ten times out OF
ten, and in winter puts up the storm
windows. She has fitted each window
with a combined screen and awning,
patented by herself.
She mixes her own paint and goes
about the task with a smile, which she
thinks should enter into every can of
paint When the colors are ready
Mrs. Johnson cleans the woodwork
with a wire brush, leaving a fresh sur
face, and then, to complete the job,
washes the windows.

Medical Properties in Many Plants
Looked On as Pests.
It is not matter of common knOwl-
edge that some of the weeds 'infest-
ing" the land will produce the crude
drugs which to-day in large part are
obtained by importation from abroad.
Alice Henkel, an assistant of the
governments plant industry bureau,
says that the root, leaves and flowers
of several of the weed species regard
ed as plaques in the United States are
gathered, prepared and cured in Eu-
rope, and not only for useful COM
modities there but supply to consid-
cradle extent the demands of foreign
lands.
There are weeds in this country
against which determination laws
have been passed which hold in their
leaves, stems or roots medicinal prop
critics which have value in the work
of preserving the health of the ma
ton.
1t is possible in Kidding land OF
weeds in order that crops may be
grown to make Of the uprooted pests"
a source of income. Moreover, it is
possible to maintain upon land given
over as worthless for crop-grOwing
purposes a weed plantation, which
after the harvest will prove itself to be
not less profitable than some of the
titled fields.

OXFORD NEEDS MONEY.
University Now Too Poor to Supply
Proper Scientific Training in Some

University Now Too Poor to Supply
Proper Scientific Training in Some
Field.
The first public act of Lord Curzon
as chancellor of the University of Ok.
ford was the publication Of an appeal
asking for 81 $780, 900 to meet the press
ing needs of the university, among
which he enumerates the promotion of
modern and scientific studies and the
maintenance of the Bodleian library,
says Outlook
In many departments of science, he
declares, Oxford is unable, for want of
necessary funds and appliances, to
supply scientific basis for practical
work, and an electrical laboratory and
provision for giving scientific training
for the practical profession Of engi-
neering are greatly needed.
He says that the gift of Cecil
Rhodes, the greatest benefaction which
the university has received of late
years, has, has brought with it
burden, adding, as It does, 200 men
from all parts Of the British empire,
from the United States ard from Ger
many to the body Of undergraduates
and imposing upon the university the
necessity of offering the newcomers
all that is best in teaching, equipment
and study.
To Americans it would seem as if
this appeal from an institution so ven
cradle, SO yenerated, so intimately as
ISOLATED not only with English scholar
ship, but with English literature and
English history, would meet with
prompt response. Unfortunately, so
far neither the universities nor the ca
thedrals have been able to make up
by popular gifts for the great losses
they have sustained by the shrinkage
of incomes caused by the fall Of rents
during the last generation.

BAD WOLVES IN THE WEST.
Uncle Sam Is Busy Fighting for Their
determination.

determination.
Uncle Sam has been making a study
of the wolves Of this country, not, how
ever, because that particular animal
is worthy of preservation, but simply
with a view to determination.
The losses to stOckmen and farmers
from the depredations of wolves is
very great, ranchmen frequently los
ing 10 per cent of their calves from
wolf attacks. Many protective meas
ures have been adopted, such as build
ing wolf-proof fences, granting boun-
ties for wolf pelts, direct destruction
by hunting, poisoning, trapping, etc.
1t appears that the bounty system
has not proved very satisfactory and
hunting is both expensive of time and
labor, so that poisoning is largely re-
sorted to.
The most successful method consists
in the use of strychnine, which is in
closed in gelatine capsule such as is
usually employed by the druggist in
putting up sundry powdered medi-
cines. These capsules are concealed
in pieces of beef suet and are dis
tributed at points likely to be trav-
ersed by wolf packs.

BOOK PLATES.
Their Invention Came Half a Century
After the Printing Press.

After the Printing Press.
1t was within half a century from
the invention of printing that book
plates were introduced as identifying
marks to indicate the ownership of the
volume
Germany, the fatherland of printing
from movable type and wood cutting
for making impressions in ink on pa
per- is likewise the home land of the
book plate.
The earliest dated wood cut of ac-
cepted authenticity is the we'll known
''St. Christopher of 1928" which was
discovered in the Carthusian moonas-
terry of Buxheim in Suabia.
1t was to insure the right of owner
ship in book that the owner had it
marked with the coat-of-arms of the
family o" some other neraldic device.
Libraries were kept intact and passed
from generation to generation, bear
ing the emblem of the family.
The first book plate in France is
dated 1874; in Sweden, 1875; Switzer-
land, 1907, and Italy, 1923. The earli-
est English book plate is found in a
folio volume once the property of Car
dinal Wolsey and afterward belonging
to his royal master.
The earliest mention of the book
plate in English literature is by Pepys,
July 16, 1858. The first known book
plate in America belonged to Gov.
Dudley. Paul Revere, the patriot, was
one of the first American engravers Of
book plates and designer of great
ability.

follows:
