SACRED
TO WOMEN,
THEY SAY
Prominent Members of Sex
Don't Agree With Col.
Lewis Slap Him Hard

NEW YORK. Jan. S.-New York
women disagree with Colonel James
Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago, who has
jumped into the llmelight with the
statement that an oath means nothing
to a woman
Mrs. Rosalie Loew Whitney, New
York's foremost woman lawyer, said:
II distinctly disagree with Mr.. Lewis.
A m is undoubtedly a less reliable
witness than a man. But that Toe not
mean she is a liar born, and that is
what Colonel Lewis implies. I am posi-
tive hat woman, speaking OF her as a
class, does not deliberately perjure her
self more often than man does"
The remarks of Colonel Lewis were
made to the students of the North
western University Law School. Colo
mel Lewis said:
Remember, gentlemen of the bar. an
oath means nothing to a woman, and as
Horace has SO truthfully expressed 1t.
When a woman starts out to perJure
herself, all hell cannot keep her record
"A woman always comes to testify as
a witness for one of two reasons:
Either she m through a sense Of
affection or duty to those whom she
loves, or she comes to satisfy what she
regards as a perfectly legitimate feel
ing of resentment.
IF it is the first of these. she will
come through fire and water to testify,
and she will see things as her friend
Views them. Sincerely and earnestly
she will testify that things are as she
thinks they ought to be, and you may
cross-examine until you have exhausted
the vocabulary and you will get nothing
from her but her ideas Of what they
ought to be.
"a woman has no idea Of the sanctity
of an oath, and a woman will repeat
when on oath anything she will say
when not on oath"
Miss Sadie American, prominent as a
club woman and a charity worker, in
reply to Colonel Lewis, said:
Z disagree entirely with any such
statement hat this person may have
made. AS a matter of fact, a woman's
conscience is more awakened than a
mans. She is more afraid to do any
thing like perjuring herself than a man
is. The one who made the statement
has IN reality nothing to bear 1t out
in experience"
Mrs. Harriet S. Batch, the great
helper of working women, who lives at
the Hotel Victoria, at Ninety-seventh
street and Riverside drive. said:
"I annot believe that such a state
ment wal made. 1t is entirely false.
Women, generally speaking, are more
truthful than men.
1.-THE idea of separating the sexes on
the basis of truthfulness, or the under
standing and the keeping of the obli-
cation of an oath, is silly"

IF there is any time when I envy a
man more than another, it is when 1

a young woman whom many of you
know. All a man has to do" she con-
tinued, when he wants a new suit or
a topcoat is to go to his tailor, select
his material and have his measure
taken, and when his order is finished it
is sent home to him. If he buys his
garments ready-made the trouble Is
even less, for then he simply selects
something to fit him and goes home
contented."
"Why don't you do the same?" asked
a friend, who listened patiently to her
wall.
WHY don't I? Just as if 1 wouldn't

BALTIMORE, Jan. SIN a new case
of cerebro-spineI meningitis brought to
the Johns Hopkins Hospital from At

again used with success the serum
which DR.. Simon F1exner, head of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search, recently discovered in expert
ments on animals at the Rockefeller
farm. near New Brunswick.
Before being brought to the hospital
the disease had been running five weeks
and showed all the malignant symp-
toms which it develops.
The success which the trial of the
serum at once met with is regarded
here as a noteworthy tribute to the
value of Dr.. Flexner's discovery, which
has been thought by some of the pro-
fession to avail only in incipient cases

HEALTHFUL HINTS.

There is no greater mistake than to try

Eyesight is too important to be tempered

putting a drop or two of cologne in the
eyes to make them brilliant is Injurious.

Girl Folly.

One girl never, never thinks of re-
newing her supply of hairpins until
her couture is In danger of tumbling
down about her face with the least jar.
And then she has to tie a cord around
her little finger, besides pinning a
memorandum to the front of her shirt
waist, before she goes to the stores,
else she will surely come home without
the important little articles.
Another girl lever thinks to purchase
new shoe strings, even after the old
ones have been knotted and reknotted.
Another, who lives within five minutes
walk of one of our largest department
stores in Newark, has wanted a pair
of curved nail scissors for nearly a
year. Hers were broken last March,
and she can never remember to buy
new ones.
What is your special little want, one
that has been with you for a long, long
time? Mine is a-pair of worsted slip
pers, and I've intended to make them
for the last five years, without exag-
geration. Felt slippers are all right in
their way, but they are not "in it,
with the good old-fashioned, Comfy
knitted kind, which just fill the bill
when Jack Frost gets entirely too
friendly with ones toes.

Jumping rope has just been advised by a
famous reducer as the quickest way to
bring down a woman's flesh. Care should
be exercised where the fat woman does
her jumping, or it may also bring down
the house.

A long list of the little needs and
put off duties of various individuals
would make mighty funny reading. A
good idea for a party would be to make
each guest write down his own particu-
lar failing in hat line, and hen have
them read aloud.
An East Orange woman, who shops
in Newark very often, told me a sad
story the other evening about a cracker
Jar. She saw 1t first about a year ago
on a shelf in the bric-a-brac depart
ment of one of the big stores. 1t was
both beautiful and odd and she wanted
it Immediately, but felt that she could
spare the money that day..
She came downtown about twice a
week, and every time she would go to
gaze at that jar and debate as to it's
purchase. But she always spent her
money for something else. And last
she went to gaze nee more, feel
ing quite sure that she would buy the
jar, and behold, there was no jar!
Moral" said she in conclusion,
never be mean to yourself when you
can afford to be generous. 1 could have
purchased hat jar long ago, but, badly
as 1 wanted 1t, 1t seemed expensive and
l hated to spend the money"

This same beauty-trainer declares that
walking never yet made@a woman thin,
and cites policemen as examples of the
pounds to be gained on a beat. But she
adds IL women would walk with a load
on their backs as does the letter-carrier
then would the coveted thinness be theirs,
as the heavy weight pulls on the muscles
of the back and abdomen.
