"A ow comes Surgeon GehernT George N Evatte, of the British Army. with
 a scheme of h!s own for making
 every woman beautiful The doctor
 - hns TO cosrnetics to seiran no new iotious to apply. He simply says that the safe and sane way of making the woman BhautIful Is to remove from her path all care and nnxietY as long as she is the mother of fchildren. In accordance vita. his plan, he advocates the passing of n Tpman's enfrnnchiscment bill as bli that win produce beauty. He ar2nes for an age limit of 2i years for the rrsr riHge of women: he wants widows 10 have pensions and all mothers to have lntioDs and allowances. All these re- forms. he says. will produce higher standard otsbeauty fin the race.
 But. argues the doctor. there are many conditions Shat act as-obs:aeles- te this rlap Of beanty. He believes that there Is noticeable lack of freedom in thc choice of mates. especially so far as the woman Is eoncerned.-In Tn this way he accounts for the scarcity of perfect mar riages. with the consequent birth Of ,hildren who are not beautiful. He ad- vocates that the barriers brought ahout ly existing social conditions. such as 6if- ference of creed. social standing and wealth. should-he- miaatea-and tbe hnman race go untrammeled in it's search for beautiful children.
 Isn't l. nice for the doctor? To the minds of many Of us he holds out a grenter panacea for our ills than all the suffragist movements that have ever seen the light ot day He says. practically. that hubby must no longer burden us with bis business affairs: that no mai ter how short hls purse may he IL must always belong to us: that hubby's prin- cipal business on earth will he not only io look after his business. but also to watch the cook and the chambermaid and the honse and take care of the chii- dren. Isn't it a brilliant prospect and lazy one for us poor creatures who have formerly had so much to do! But what woman would stand for such course of training. especially if she has been accustomed to boss everything around the house, including her so-callcI lord and master" and to handle the family pocketbook? The average militant woman just wouldn't submit to it. that's all,
 From a sane standpoint there Is much In the Doctors proposition that appenis 10 the laws of nature which would. no doiiht. fin time cause rPversion tu inc Greek type of beauty. which has always

THE MODERN JEW.
Topic of Interesting Address at Hart
 ford by Rabbi siIVerman.

Temple Beth Israel on Charter Oak avenue, Hartford, was crowded Sunday | afternoon with both Jews and Chris tians. who went to hear pr. Joseph | Silverman of New York, one of the | most widely known rabbis in the | country, lecture on fThe Modern Jew"
 Rabbi Silverman was the guest of Ararat lodge, No. 13, Independent Or der B'nai Brith.
 The modern Jew, said Rabbl Sil- | verman, is not the same as the an cient Jew, but to say when the change occurred is not an easy matter, yet 1 if one date in history should be se- lected the Spanish Inquisition might be taken to represent the great event of history that cut off the ancient Jew from the type of Jew that exists today. In one day during that bloody peri from Spain and scattered to the ends
 of the earth. This marked new era for the Jewish people. From this time on the Jew begins to take his place among the great men in all lines of activity and Mendelssohn. Spinoza and Ben DisraeH are names that find high places in the history of the world. The Declaration of Independence of the United States, granting religious liberty to all men, had more to do, both in America and all over the world, with the undermining of the Jew, and the modern Jew is no diff ferent, said Rabbi Silverman, than any other modern man. All are members of the great Caucasian race, and to speak of the Jews as a separate na- ton or race is no more than a poetic fiction. In America the Jew is loyal, true American. In England he is an Englishman and in Germany a German. He is d man, a citizen, a patriot In time of war he is & brave soldier and in days of peace an upright citizen, voting for the best man at election day There is no Jewish vote, said Rabbi Silverman, and no man or party can say it controls the vote of the Jewish people.
 In religion alone the Jew does not affiliate wiTh the nation where he dwells, and here he retains the faith that has been handed down through all the years of the history of his peo- pie, which is based on the one fcunds- ton, the unity of the Deity. The re- 'igion has not changed, but the ob- gervances Of the religious forms have changed, and now the synagcgues and temples are similar to modern churches and the screens in the galleries have been done away With and tho men and women sit together while the services have been beautifed The modern American Jew Is 8 modern American citizen, there is no other distinction.
