The Strenuous National Game of tho
American Women.
There is always something impress
sive about a crowd that is swayed by
a single emotion. You get an impress
sion Of force, says Mary Heaton Worse
in Success Magazine. These women,
who a few moments ago had been
quiet shoppers, formed a mob. They
swayed and pushed as though moved
by a common impulse toward a table
where were the embroidertes. From
their throats, came a little dull growl,
a curious notes.-the whisper of a mob
The noise of a mob in joy or in an
ger or in fright or just its restless
murmur as it waits is different from
any other noise that comes from the
human throat-quite distinct, Of a Gu
rious animal timber i heard it once
on the occasion of the throwing Of
bomb, again from a crowd waiting for
a bank to open and a third time In
theater when fire had been called,
and now here it was in miniature from
a couple of hundred women waiting to
buy ten cent embroideries.
They were poor women with shawls
and baskets. women with babies in
their arms, women with threadbare
clothes carefully brushed. who must
think before spending each dime in
the dollar. but for once INDUCING in
the great sport Of American women

help you next time and that a little
toll and determination put together
will accomplish wonders in the whole

The Oldest R.Ii.hI. Date.

1t used TO be supposed that the most
ancient civilization. OF which real rec
ords had been found dated from B. q
$500. This had relation to Peru and
it's earliest known inhabitants. but DR.
Eduard Mayer. professor OF ancient
history at the University Of Berlin,
studying the Egyptian. calendars on
tr/ monuments in the state museum
OF the German cnpiiai. discovered that
the date B. Z. 424i is frequently cited
as that in which the early Egyptian
astronomers first calculated their solar
year from the rising Of rhe star Sirius.
This is by far the oldest reliable date
in the history of the human race.
