Several shots were then fired into 1t by

"a Political Crime"
After remarking that the assassination
cannot be an act of personal revenge. but
is political crime, the Tanin says:
is it fact that our country cannot
yet support liberty OF thought and con-
science? Is il impossible to utter with
perfect Independence an opinion which is
disagreable to others?
lis the conflict of opinions to degener-
ate into a conflict with knives and re-
volvers. What. then. becomes of the
freedom Of thought proclaimed by the
law?
This crime bears remarkable re-
semblance to the murder committed last
year, before the events OF April: crime
which excited pubic opinion against the
committee OF UNION Anu DrOxreSs. Lato~
on IL was established that the murder
had been dictated to the sultan's rifle

ter, chairman of the Council Of the
London Eugenics Education Society
Men and women of the best types
Shoulder the good of the race-mar-
ry early, though not too early. The
healthiest children are those born
when the mothers are between the ages
of 20 and 80. The father should be a
few years older than the mother.
The trouble with the race, DR..
Slaughter says, is that women don't
select their husbands with any thought
of producing the best children. They
are looking for money, material com
forts and all sorts of artihcialities en-.
ter into the selection.
Rational choosing of mates does not
exclude sentiment" he says, and he
adds that If mercenary motives are
eliminated the right sort of man will
be chosen early In his '20s.

ask what is behind it, or to the men

The woman of Forty.

Tho woman of 40A-if she knows the
value of happiness and common sense
has beauty plus. Plus experience,
which is itself a beautifier If viewed
Alright For viewed Alright, the bitter
husk OF experience is cast away. the
lesson remaining as one of the solid
assets of life. The woman of 40 who
would stay long at the meridian of life
must cast no brooding looks backward.
One point of attractiveness in the
woman of 40 is that she has learned
to stand alone. The book of life, no
longer mystery, has opened to her and
fits most thumbed page. the one oftenest
wet with her tears shed in the watches
of the night, is that for her happiness
she must look not to others, but to
herself. She has learned that we ex-
pect too much from any human being
when we ask him or her to keep the
sunshine of happiness ever about us.
We can only radiate that quality con-
einually from ourselves.
Its first phase is serenity. The wom-
an OF 40 knows that the full, rich life
has calm center which no outward
storm can disturb as the surface tenn
pests never fret the still depths of the
ocean.
At 20 woman looks to others for
happiness. At 40 she looks to herself.
AT 25 she has ideals. At 40 she still
has ideals, but in the first state she
has clothed them In concrete form.
In the second they are distractions.
AT 40 comes peace. for the 40th year
the Rubicon, crossing which persons
grow small upon the horizon. and prin-
ciples grow large.
The woman of 40. who has come into
the heritage of her years, has grown
erect under discipline. 1t has never
more than momentarily crushed her.
Her straight shoulders are the symbols
of her erect spirit.
The woman of 40 no longer guesses
She knows. The rest of life is a deep
ening Of the lessons already learned,
an enriching of the experience already
gained.
