There will always be waiting and gnash-
ing of teeth among certain set OF
prophets who see the deterioration rather
than the uplift Of the world at large.
These same seers have bemoaned the
coming Of the woman into the limelight
of public light. In their minds eye they
have foreseen the destruction Of love.
marriage and all paraphernalia OF do
nestle happiness. They have accused
women of pushing into industry when
she belonged by the fireside toasting her
feet over the fender or singing luIiabies
to the wee bairnies. But. strange to say.
women have not pushed into industry.
On the contrary, the industrial conditions
have forced them into their present posi-
lions. In early days. when women spun
at their wheels. dipped candles or knitted
stockings, there were no great factories
and mills to do these homely tasks for
them. Now each year more and more the
burden of Homework is Shouldered by
mechanical devices. No longer does one
frail pair of hands attempt to compete
with big iron machines that know no
fatigue. Thus women are given more
leisure from the petty details Of house.
keeping. and how does she employ her
time?
She need not neglect her family. even
though she finds outside work to do. The
whole social structure has changed and
she finds unconsciously that she has
broadened and widened her field Of ac-
ton. that is all. The mother heart that
used to beat for its little family alone.
now beats for the whole world of little
ones. The emigrant's child is as much
her charge as IL IT were flesh of her flesh.
The tired child droopin under the bur-
den of long hours in the factory has had
her active work in its interest. Women
and girls who have known little except
the misery of the sweat shop and OF life
in insanitary novels have found a new
inspiration in living through the things

Their work In public life has been q boon
to every city where they have entered

We have at times pleaded for brief, CO.

speech. Now we have a distinguished
colaborer In the vineyard of literary
style in the person of Premier Asquith
Of England, who. In late address, said !:
"A vast deal of the slipshod and prolix
stuff which we are compelled to read or
to listen to is. Of course, born of sheer
idleness. When. as so often happens, a
man takes an hour to say what might
have been as we'll or better said in twenty
minutes spreads over twenty pages what
could easily have been exhausted in ten.
the offense. in a large majority of cases,
is not due SO much to vanity or to in
difference to the feelings of others as to
the inability or unwillingness to take
palms.
There is a paragraph that should be
posted in every legislative hall. court
house. newspaper Office or wherever peo-
pie speak or write. There is enough time
wasted by long speeches and writings in
a lifetime which. IL rightly used. a person
could build a house on or buy a farm
or get an education.
And that is not all. for when a person
is profuse. prolix long winded, the force
of his argument is gone and he disgusts
his reader or nearer rather than con-
vinces him. The true art in argument is
to say the most one can in the least
space.

The white goats. the Rocky mountain

deep in rich pasturage, with innumerable
lakes and roaring glacial streams well

The best thing about the Glacier Park
Is Its closeness and the comparative
cheapness by which it can be visited. 1t
is of us; in our midst. Hundreds, thou
sands of tourists visit the great coast
range of Alaska every year and view
towering mountain masses and cleaning

Switzerland so as to tell of having seen
the far-famed Alps and of having been
conveyed across a real glacier. But our
Glacier Park is situated at only the

BIG CULL|NAN DIAMOND

Months Away.
oreign Correspondence OF The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. December Z, 1910
No earthly promotion equals in rapidity
that of the Cullinan diamond, which.
from being in the soil five years ago. is
now. for the most part. lodged in the
crown and scepter. and will shine at King
Georges coronation seven months hence.
Other jewels have taken centuries to
cover the same course.
Wells. a miner, found the Cullinan in
the mines of the Premier Diamond COM
pany one January evening. And in its
rough, uncut state it was handed. by
way of q birthday present, to King Ed
ward.
AS now divided it is represented by
two main pieces-the STARS OF Africa"
smaller ones and ninety-six minute par
ticles
Twenty-one ounces avoirdupois was the
first weight Of the entire piece. The Pitt
diamond now in the Louvre in Paris,
weighs q bare ounce. The Miami
snatched by a discerning European from
the hand Of an Indian child who was
playing with it's scarcely twice that.
Three-uuarters Of an ounce Is the disap-
pointing scale record Of the famous Kohl
moor.
There is no clue to the weight OF the
Great Mogul, OF which the kohinoor was
probably a fragment. 1t disappeared
from history, leaving US only dim ira
dition of its grandeur. But II can hardly
have equaled the halk Of the Cullinan.
whose STARS Of Africa are secure from
further adventure TIL fate disturbs the
monarchy Of England.

from the Boston Post.


Ex-Gov. Curtis Guild stirred up the
women Of Boston when he declared re-
Gently that Betsy Ross was not the design
er Of the American flag. but that the nag
was created by Israel Putnam. and Betsy
Ross. time-honored for her work on the
flag. merely sewed it together"
Far be ii from me to dispute with eN-
Gov. Guild" said Mrs. Susan Fitzgerald.
secretary Of the Massachusetts sWomen's
Suffrage Association but how does Mr..
Guild know who designed the flag? He
gives no authority for the statement. Per-
haps he can remember back that far
through some kind Of reincarnation. I'm
sure don't know just who designed the
flag, or to whom the credit belongs. but IL
Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag
together she deserves credit for the
achievement, and her work was harder
than Israel Putnam's. We will have TO
take history, for questions OF this kind
and not dispute matters about which
none of us today really knows anything"
Miss Katherine Conway, the well known
writer, said: 81 am thoroughly in sympa-
thy with ex-Gov. Guild when he says that
the Star Spangled Banner is the real
American anthem. 1t is a great relief to
find that some one thinks as I do about
that 'doggerer America About the flag
and who designed tiff Betsy Ross sewed
1t together she did something that neither
ex-Gov. Gui'd nor I could do 1t was
great achievement. and as she has always
had credit for the work. why not let her
have IL still?''
The difference Of opinion on the sub
ject Of who designed the American nag
has arisen from a talk delivered by exc
Gov Guild to an audience OF children NJ
the O'd South meeting house. Mr.. Guild
said the national anthem was THE Star
Spangled Banner" and not America,
and also said that Israel Putnam created
the flag and that all Betsy Ross did was
to suggest that the stars be hve-pointed
instead Of six. and then she sewed the
first American flag together.
