FTvabouts for Women.

Three of the tiniest, prettiest, and
speediest Vendome monoplanes are
now on their way across the ocean,
and are expected in about a week.
to be just the thing to satisfy the
growing fad for aviation among
American women. Ever since CLIFFORD
Harmon took up in his Farham BIZ
plane Mrs. Harmon, Mrs. William K.
Vanderbilt and other women have de-
clared their desire to go aeroplaning.
1t is announced that three pretty
French woman aviators are to follow
to this country shortly after the ar
rival of these small airships. They
will be costumed as the woman avi-
ator should be and will be prepared
to demonstrate and instruct women in
the art of flying.
Yves de Villers, the representative
for the Vendome aeroplane, was at
Mineola, Long Island, yesterday and
said that the little monoplanes are be-
ing brought to this country as quick
ly as possible. At least one Of the
three machines will be shipped to the
aviation grounds in Mineola, where it
will make daily flights.
It is the smallest one-person fly
about in the world. and weighs go
pounds less than the famous Santos
Dumont Demoiselle.
The vendome monoplane is the
work of Raoul vendome, a French
builder of aeroplanes. It is equipped
with a 12-horsepower Anzani motor,
and complete, ready for flying, weighs
$50 pounds.
The spread of the wings from tip
to tip is only 16 feet. The steering
rudder is operated with the feet,
something like the Farman biplane
is operated, while the elevating planes
are controlled by lever. The oper-
ator is nestled in coy seat cut out
in the center of the wings of the
little go-cart of the air.-New York

he admits that the scientists have not

that the saliva and blood are the two

the germ itself, its origin and the

"IpS PART.

IT is true that most of the everyday
maxins are mems maxims, written
about men and for men. 1 should
like to come back to this world IN
ahout a hundred years and read some
,uo,oen-made maxims. says Erman J.
Ridpway in the Dehneator for Septem-
Der.
"AlI work and no play makes JACK
a dull boy" Not a word about what
"alI work" makes Jill. If that maxim
had been written recently, could bet
ter understand the makers failure TO
saw what all work and no play makes
I'LL. for. on the average. Jill does not
have to work as hard as she once did;
hut that maxim was made years and
wears ago, when jill was a perfect
drudge, and yet not a word for her!
Let her drudge
About the same, fancy. "Jack and
Jill went up the hill to get a pail of
water" and you remember what hap
pened. Jack gets the glory. Jack gets
the headline notice. He "fell down,
and broke his crown''-rare distinc-
ton among his mates-while Jill must
content herself with a mere mention
of how she "came tumb1ing after" In
the maxim he was not permitted to
break anything, whereas, in the life
we know, when there is any tumbling
to be done going up the hill, Jill is
sure to have her share of the knocks
even though to this day the circum-
stances are not always enlarged upon.
Her part doesn't often get into the
papers. AS in the maxim, Jill acquires
distinction only in the reflected glory
of Jacks historic tumble, SO today,
when they get out. up the hill with
their pail for water, and tumble, the
world is inclined to pity poor Jack;
and if they fill the pail, the world is
inclined to honor Jack; and in both
cases the world expects Jill to be con-
tent with honorable mention.
The Swan on still st. sMary's lake
Floats double swan and shadow.
But the world is not so good a mirror
as still St Mary's lake. Jill is no
shadow, whatever she may be willing
to let Jack think.
He would be rash who prophesied
what Jill is going to do in the COM
ing years, she is SO strange a mixture.
She may decide to go on pretending
to be Jacks shadow. She is marvel
ously unselfish. is Jill, and if her Jack
wants the limelight she may let him
have it, while she continues to be
what she has always been, the source
and salvation of the best things in life.
Jack may continue to stride the world,
like a Colossus, adding constantly to
life's complexities, sounding new
depths, scaling new heights; but Jill
will hold fast to those vital simp,icities
which are the very source Of happi-
ness for Jack, as well as for herself.

GAME CONSERVATION PAYS.

Objection to the rigid enforcement
of fish and game laws is often based,
among landowners, upon the ground
that the only beneficiaries are "city
sports who are fond of hunting. But
the experience of the state of Maine,
where hunting and fishing are good, is
that a good deal Of money is spent
by the sportsmen, and that the conser-
walton of game pays cash dividends.
The early angler and the fall hunter
left S2O,OOO,O0O in Maine in 1903, ac-
cording to the chairman of the Fish
and Game commission. Within 20
years, he thinks. Maine will get reve-
nue. annually of $100,0O0,000 from the
annual influx of hunters and fisher
men, And the money spent is dis
tributed pretty widely and where it is
needed. The value of the forests,
lakes and streams of Maine, and the
tenants of the water and the wood
lands is, according to Mr.. Bracket, be-
yond estimate. The conservation of
natural resources and of fish and game
is a matter of great Importance
