WHY WOMEN SEEM FRIVOLOUS.
By DR.. Lester Frank Ward.

It often is remarked that women as a rule
are more frivolous and trifing than men,
Where the only objects with which woman
comes in contact are those of the kitchen, the
nursery, the drawing room and the wardrobe,
how shall she be expected to have broad ideas
Of life, the world and the universe? Her
ideas are perfectly natural and legitimate.
She has seen and handled culinary utensils,

BEWARE OF APPLAUSE OF THE CROWD.
By President Butler of CoIun1b

A most persistent enemy Of sound stand
ards is the tendency to delight in the ap-
plause of the crowd and in the acclaim Of
the unthinking, the Immature and the H.
Informed. More than one leader Of men,
past and present, has been led astray by the
strong temptation which this tendency offers
Sometimes one almost feels that the

JAPANESE CHERRY TREES
 TRANSPLANTED IN CITY.

The first of the celebrated towering Japanese cherry trees to be brought into this country have been received in Sir mingham this past week, two out of the lot imported recently by Dr. David Fair child of the department of agriculture at Washington.
 These two have been presented to Mrs. J. D. Kirkpatrick and Mrs. J. C. King, and are being especially cared for. It has never been supposed that this little won der of the Orient could survive trans- planting, but pr. Fairchild decided 10 make the experiment.
 When with Mrs Fairchiid, his wiLe who is a daughter of Alexander Graham Bell. Dr. Fairchild made a tour of the world, not long since he made arrange ments for the importation of many Of the rare and most beautiful of the Asiatic plants, trees and flowers, among them about 300 Of the Japanese ''cherry blos- som" trees.
 Dr. Fairehild has planted the seedlings at his country place near Chevy Chase, and they are expected to bloom this year
 MT. Herbert Claude, secretary and treasurer of the Chevy Chase Sand com pany, of which Senator Francis New lands of Nevada is president, bought 200 of these trees for the improvement Of Chevy Chase, the most beautiful of the N SuDutDSs diAO CNhiVoSSN SCA'Ao three or four to friends in Birmingham.
 Dr. Fairchild recently gave to the pub lie schools of Washington 100 of these rare trees The following Is taken from the Washington Herald:
 "Arbor Day was celebrated in the Dis trict of Columbia today. in practically all the schools there were special exer- cises, into which were introduced lessons on tree planting.
 ''Trees have been provided for planting in the grounds of 100 schools. One impor- tant part of the days exercises will be given over to the planting of the tiny seedlings
 Nearly 100 boys were taken yesterday morning to the country place of pr. David Fairchild of the department of agricul- ture, near Chevy Chase. There they were each provided with small Japanese flow erlng cherry tree.
 Each boy represented school. The tree given him will be planted today somewhere in the school grounds.
 ''The boys were much interested in the lessons Tn planting which were given them by Mori, the Japanese gardener at the Fairchild place.
 "The Japanese Towering cherry is a beautiful ornamental tree of Japan, which is so loved by the people of that Oriental country that they take a holiday each year when it first comes into bloom. It is the flower which is so much used to decorate the many beautiful art objects and paintings by the Japanese"

What the $43o Class Think.

A writer in the April American Magazine says:
 Your little article. "A Dollar-and-a- Half Fight is interesting. The in come of the average American family is something less than S1.50 per day. It is about s430 per year.
 Now if the average man and his family live on $430 per year, the prob lem of living on $500 should be an easy one. The bank teller, the pro- lessor and the minister have a prob lem only because they assume that they are made of finer clay than the great American wage-earner. The $430 kind of people don't write for aga zines. Neverth eless they have finan- cial problem which, if forced upon the better class would drive many of them to suicide or the penitentiary. The bank teller, the professor and the rninister speak of tastes which they assume ought to be gratified, tastes that cost money. If our $500 fami- lies suffer because of unqualified taste, what must be the suffering of our s43O family? The tastes of the bank teller. the professor and the minister are acquired by reading and associa- tion. Our $43O people read also. If our $500 complainants will take the trouble to investigate, they will find that the $430 people have similar tastes to their own, and given the same leisure and the $500 they would be nice people, too

THE CASUAL BUSINESS AC-
 QUAINTANCE AND CLUB.

comment has been made on the tend ency to relax the old rules of etiauette and of good taste that at one time and should still prevail in good society. Re- garding what is known as club house lntroductions there is a certain amount of extreme thoughtlessness frequently ex- hibted by club men who introduce the merest 'business'' acquaintance to their women friends. For business reasons men are frequently called upon to enter tain a casual acquaintance at luncheon or dinner at the club, to put them up'' at the club, the cards of admission en- titling him to all privileges, even to the social gatherings on Saturday evenings at the Country club.
 The business relations existing between men is fully recognized and everyone un- derstands that a certain amount of hos pitality is expected in the way of club luncheOns or dinners. But unless there is stronger grounds upon which introduce tions can be made it is certainly bad form to introduce business acquaintances in that intimate social way frequently observed in this city, and to which sev- eral club men have recently asked that attention be drawn in these columns.
 "In many instances" said a clubman yesterday, ia man makes these introduce tions thoughtlessly. His business rela- tions with the man he puts up at the club are all right. No one objects to any social courtesies in this matter. But do not think man should introduce an acquaintance to the ladies who are at the club unless he knows something about him. Half the time he does not know whether the man is married or single, or anything of his family. This matter of introducing the casual acquaintances may pertain in their cities but it seems to me that it is done to a greater ex- tent in Birmingham. But the line should be drawn"

MOTOR CYCLE RACES.

At a meeting of the Birmingham Motor- cycle club, held the past week, plans were discussed for the motorcycle races at the State Fair grounds Saturday, April 70. and the report of the competition com mittee was read, showing trat the track had been secured and was being put In sufficient shape to take speed faster than a mile per minute.
 As there will be several out-of-town rld- CTS here, possibly one or two from New York. they will demand the very best pos sible track, as the speed of these gentle men is somewhat under the mile-a-minnte rate.
 About 20 entries are signed for these races. and as the prizes are valuable and rivalry keen, the spectators are assured some hair-raising finishes.
 The proceeds from these race meets lnls summer will go toward the building of clubhouse. ,
 The club is now in fourishlng cohul- tion and several new members are aoded to the roll each meeting
 A pleasure trip will be made to Snades mountain via Oxmoor this afternoon, ieaV- ing Robert Stubb's place, and all motor cyclists are cordially invited to SO, whether members or not
 A more detailed account of the races will be given later.

gree only, not in kind. Probably the most distinguishing mark is that o.ir s1S00 family adopt race suicide, and write about themselves for the papers, while the $430 kind raise big families and say nothing. The clamor of the s430 people is sometimes heard in the land. but 1t is the clamor for more of the actual necessaries of life. Were they to clamor for more money with which to cultivate mere taste, the derision and ridicule that would be theirs can be left only to the imagina- tion. Until the problem of the S430 man is solved, the problem of the s1S9O man must wait. Therefore, if the bank teller, the college professor and the minister would help themselvse, let them help us solve it. I am writing this for the purpose of showing the at titude of many of our wage-earners and l assure you it comes direct from one of the $430 class"
