Little Dancer, in a Quiet

Paris Special: Little theodore
Girard. the 10-year-old American girl
who Is dancing at the Olympia, Is the
talk of Paris. It is all due to the quiet
way she reproved a Russian admirer
the other night at Maxim's.
An American gentleman, a New
Yorker. who was visiting the famous
place for the first time, was sitting in
a corner watching the gay scene when
Theodore rushed up to him with tears
in her eye exclaiming:
II know you are an American and
will not see n of you countrywomen
insulted as ! have been!"
He asked her to sit down, compose
herself and explain the trouble. Dry
ing her tears, h pointed out a huge,
bearded Russian at the opposite table,
who was staring at her.
She said the Russian had followed
her in the streets. called her bad names
and a even spat at her because she
refused to accept his barbaric ad-
dresses. The New Yorker advised her
to be calm, to go quietly to the JUS
sian and tell him he must never speak
to her again.
1T doesn't pay to get excited" the
American said, Just go to him in a
quiet. dignified way. I will accompany
you.''
They crossed the room and the New
Yorker said:
This lady has a quiet word to say to
you"
The Russian replied sneeringly that
he did not know the lady. Miss Girard
retorted by smashing a champagne

HOW WOMEN WILL HELP
DIG THE PANAMA CANA

Three hundred and fifty women. sitting
In a factory on the Panama strip. will help
materially to build the big ship canal. The
women will be engaged all day In mixing
chemicals, such as perchlorate of am
monia. nitrate Of soda. dinitrotoluol, par
affin and several other ingredients, and
the finished product will be an explosive
which is SO per cent stronger than dyna-
mite.
This explosive. which will rip out the
rocks in the Culebra cut and all along the
remainder OF the canal site, cannot be
exploded by ordinary methods, so that it
Is to be hoped the women will be quite
safe while they mak It. 1t has been
hammered with a sledge, shot at with a
rife, burned, and ordinary dynamite deto-
majors have been set off In 1t without any
effect. The only agency which can set in
motion the mysterious power locked up in
this material Is a tiny platinum wire
heated by al electric current to redness.
The Panama Canal company has 20 tons
Of the new explosive on land, and the
factory will make between 6.0OO and 1000
tons per annum. The United States consul
at Panama, who tells about IT,, predicts
that 1t will have a market all along the
South American coasts. 1t will probably
play a leading part in future South Ameri-
can revolutions, so that these $50 women
who make IL may be said to have the
destiny Of thousands of people at their
