SOCIETY GIRL BECOMES
SCIENTIFIC FARMER
Sets Good Example for Other
Young Women to Follow

Hats of and liberal applause for
Elizabeth Moore, a wealthy ST Louis
girl and member, by inheritance, of
the most exclusive clubs. A Vassar
graduate, she came home a year ago
and dipped into swagger society. She
found ii boring and a waste of good
time, so she has chucked it all for
scientific farming, says the New Haven
Palladium. The other day she entered
the agricultural department of the
University Of Missouri, and she is go
ing to study away at soils and drains
and cattle until she is an expert. Then
she viii put her knowledge to practi-
cal use
Many girls have a like longing TO
get out in the world and do something
worth while, but they haven't the nee
essary backbone. It takes rigid
spinal column TO run counter to public
sentiment and friendly and family
states of mind. And so, rather than

into which is packed all the varying
feminine ideas of social heterodoxv.
most girls go the rounds of depressing
society, like blind horse in q tread

would like better TO have d plane or a
hammer or saw in their hands to
make something themselves. out of
sweet smelling pine, than to cast a
ballot in q presidential election,
There are thousands Of girls who
have the making of good carpenters
and cabinet makers and all the finer
kinds Of handicrafts who are thwarted
of their longings and the capacities to
make mechanical and boring pianists
4 few of them, bold enough to strike
out from the shore and too timid to
get out very far, make artistic jewelry
and hammer brass and iron, in an es-
tbetic way, while their soul burns
within them to get on a leather apron
and roll up their sleeves ond seize a big
hammer and pound out iron doors and
gates, after the manner of the artistic
iron workers of the golden age of art
They would do il. too. and all the
associated things, if they had the nerve
TO live their lives after the fashion of
the Moore girl. She wishes to be of
some use in the world and sees that

They see the sign, but they can not
follow it. And yet every masculine
reader would admit, if he were fair.
that he knows girls who have more
aptitude for mechanics than half the
men who follow trades when fhey

mules. Aptness at trade is not a
masculine prerogative. but the right to

TUNING OF CHURCH
BELL DIFFICULT ART
Five Distinct Notes Must Be
Made to Blend

No matter how great may be the
care taken in making the mold. bell
has to be tuned before it will ring q
clear, true note AS matter of fact.
every bell sounds five notes, all of
which must blend together harmonious
w. If one is the least bit out the tone
will be spoiled. The first of these
notes is produced by the vibrations at
the mouth of the bell. the second by
the vibrations a little higher up. the
third still higher up, and so on to the
fifth, which is produced quite near the
top. AS the character of the sound
which rings depends upon the thick
ness of the metal it is possible by TAX
ing thin shavings from various places
in the inside of the bell to alter the
five notes until they are all in har-
mony.

PRlMEVAL WOODLAND IN
BAVARIA TO BE SAVED
Yew Forest Once Furnished
Weapons of Warfare

A bit of primevaI yew forest is still
to be found in the Bavarian highlands
of Germany, says the Baltimore Amer
lean. This tree. whose wood was so
eagerly sought in the days when the
crOsSbOw was still a dangerous weap-
on of warfare. was in the middle ages
widely distributed over Germany. but is
today almost extinct. and even most
German fOresterS know it only as a
very rare tree. individual specimens OF
which are here and there preserved.
There is, however, a tiny yew woodland
still in existence in the Bavarian
mountains near the village of Pater-
zell and not far from the royal city of
Munich itself. 1t covers an area Of
not much more than half a mile square.
Here along the peaty shores of tho
dried out lake of Zell grow the last
of the yew trees
1t is primeval forest land and. ac-
cording to a recent count. comprises
S45 large and 1.456 small trees The
larger trees are at least geo to 500
years old and perhaps hundreds of
years more The smaller trees are all
under so years. The largest of the
trees at a height of four feet from the
ground have a circumference of eight
feet eight inches. and quite a numbcr
of them are more than six feet in cir
cumference and have heights varying
from so TO so feet The larger trees
are much damaged by storm and
still more through the cutting away of
the young sprouts in the spring. These
dark green needed branches are much
sought for wreaths and for decoration
Fortunately. if it may be so put. the
old trees are all more or less rotted
and their wood thus rendered useless.
for to this fact undoubtedly is due their
preservation. A small part OF the yew
woodland belongs to the community oe
is included in the state forest reserve.
There is at present a movement on
foot looking TO the preservation OF
these rare trees

SOCIETY IN VIENNA
CONQUERED BY BRIDGE

Bridge has conquered society in
vienna, according to an article by
Raoul Auerheimer. "Once upon time,
he says, lit was whist, before that
is bridge, the fashionable game In
which people take refuge when the
worst enemy of the salon, boredom, is
to be conquered" He says that the
of the conversation de-
streying game shows decadence IN
Vienna society, but thinks that bridge
is not the cause. but simply an effect.
