LONDON'S NEW WORK
IN PACIFIC MONTHLY
Opening Chapters of Martin
Eden" Appear in the Sep
tember Number

The opening chapters of Martin
Eden the novel which has been her
aided as Jack London's greatest work.
made their first appearance in the Sep
tember number of the Pacific Monthly.
Whether it is his best work or not can
only be decided when the last serial
has been read, but judging solely from
its opening the tale ought to prove as
popular as either The Call of the
Wild" or The Sea Wolf"
That peculiar virility and strength
which London injects into his charac-
ters is manifest in Martin Eden to a
remarkable extent and is heightened by
clever method of contrasting the
rough with the refined physical
strength with weakness.
Among the other contributors are

1t was Shermans intention to buy q

purchase, he stored the gold in a heavy

floors would know nothing about it
unless informed by members of the
patrol, who would ask them to leave
the building. The floors being fireproof
the fire could not break through and
probably would be cornered and un-
der control soon after it started.
ALL MODERN CONyENIENCEs
These two systems for ventilating the
building and fighting fires are the most
modern ones devised, and Hale Bros,
Inc.), were the first on the Pacific coast
to install them and put them to
practical use. Their practicability and
superiority over all other systems hav-
ing been proved conclusively, it is more
than likely that other firms in the
same line of business will install them
in their buildings.
These two features, entirely unknown
q few years ago, are by no means
the only interesting things about this
modern store, which boasts all up to
date conveniences. To such an extent
has the work been carried that COM
Portable chairs with backs replace un-
comfortable stools, and the mahogany
counters are purposely curved back,
permitting customers to sit up close to
the counter with perfect comfort. Such
things as a restaurant and tearoom,
branch postoffee, efficient telephone
service. information and checking bu-
reaus, restroom, with easy chairs, writ
ing desks and maid in attendance, are
but incidental to the great business
done by this firm but the success of
the firm itself attests to the wisdom
of establishing such conyeniences for
the shopping public, and the success
of the many new features included in
the Hale store practically will force
other firms TO adopt the same methods
if they would win the same success.

A Few Words With
the Lady Of the House

"It is easier to avoid disease than to
cure it."
Until comparatively recently house
keeping has not been considered a
science. 1t has, in thousands of homes,
'just growed," like Topsy.
President Eliot of Harvard recently
said in an address to young people:
Americans believe in education more
than anything else in the world-the
lifting up of the individual, which is
the making of the nation
Worshiping education until it has al
NEST become fetch, the American girl
has trained herself in various lines,
astonishing the rest of the world by
ner cleverness and briIliancy. but, by
some marvellous oversight. learning
little about the science of home making.
which. is her ultimate destiny, until she
has found herself within the confines
of her own home.
q q q q
It is a common thing to hear a
woman say: Il couldn't cook when /
was married; / knew absolutely moth
ing about house keeping until after 1
was married, when I had to learn" and,
although the woman who is listening
may not be equally frank, she probably
experiences again the sense of humi1ia-
ton and despair occasioned by her
husbands surprised remark long years
ago: why, | thought every woman
knew that That's her business and
remembers how gladly she would have
exchanged her proficiency in music or
art or her knowledge of biology or
bacteriology for just the ability to
cook and serve food properly.
The day of the troubled bride, how
ever, is passing. Domestic science is
being taught in the public schools. In
the normal schools of the middle west
and Ontario AZ per cent of the hours
is being given to domestic art and
science courses. and the normal school
at Framingham, Mass. has three
year course in household arts which is
not. after all, too long time to give
to the science upon which depends the
health of the nation. Whom man is
sick he does not call in a physician
who has not received his diploma, and
the more diplomas the better.
Many fashionable private schools are
also adding cookery to their subjects.

In the John Crerar library in Chicago

business. but its results, for good or
evil, according to how it is done, are
greater in their effect than the re-
suits of any other business.
All over the country women are
awakening to a greater realization OF
their responsibilities and to the deeper
appreciation of the necessity for or
ganized training on household matters
In many towns household economy
classes are formed. lessons being
