SOLVES BIRD SECRET
SAYS ONE CHILD is ENOUGH
So Declares Olive sohreIner In Her
New Book--Hard Work Would
Make Women Much Happier.

Cambridge, Mass.-"One child is
enough for the Twentieth century fam
fly," says Olive Sohreiner in her new
book, Woman and Labor"
The woman who doesn't earn her
own living is therefore a parasite, ex-
cept for that small portion of her
time when she is engaged in propa-
eating the species. but for that time
she should be paid.
Wherever in the history of a ma
ton great numbers of its women have
become parasitic, that nation is on the
road to downfall and decay. America
is, therefore. on the road to degenera-
ton. unless its women OF leisure can
their vanities for hard labor.
The human female parasite" the
book states further. whether in mod
ern Paris or New York, or in ancient
Greece. Rome or Assyria, is the won.
an who. relieved Of manual labor by
the prosperity of her class or nation.
or by the invention of labor-saving
machinery. will trade on her unused

right to live on the labors of the male.

nations, where the duties OF mother.
hood extend over a greater period
than the half dozen years now neces-
sary out of her three score years and
ten.
The woman Of leisure today" she
says, like the hot-house specimen SC
notorious before the downfall of
Rome. who seeks madly by pursait
OF pleasure to fill the voil left by the
lack OF honorable activity, would be
far happier If she had plenty of hard
work to do. and the race would be
correspondingly healthier and more ef-
ficient."

CAUSE OF DELUSIONS

well as figuratively, and. of course,
there must be an infinite variety or
mixtures of the other sensations.
The most distressing cases are those
In which there is no actual confusion
of sensations, SO that odors and tastes
and sounds are not differentiated. No
doubt these abnormalities are at the
basis of many delusions and hallucina-
tions of the insane
The nervous instability of synesthe-
sizes is the practical side of this sub
ject Without an exception. the cases
present evidences indicating consider
able nervous Involvement In the may
of abnormal development Some If
not most OF them are highly intelli-
gent. though incapable OF that hard
work necessary for success. and all
are very sensitive to irritations which
the average man ignores.
Perhaps the condition is far from
common than we imagine. and It would
be well TO keep 1t In mind In the treat
ment of neurasthenics. We might find
that they are great sufferers from lar.
ring sensations. not In the way usually
thought of. but in these overflows to
other centers. A normal woman may
be made actually Ill by garish coIors
or coarsely arranged music. and we
all know the bad effects of certain
tastes and colors; how much more suf
fering these must be in synesthesics
where the irritant affects more than
one center.
"of course the cases are SO few in
number that the general practitioner
rarely II ever sees them. but he is IL
able to have milder borderland types
in which little attention to aesthetics
may make all the difference between
success and failure in treatment"

FAN Lines Of chIIdren's Coats.

Buyers are well pleased with the
fall lines Of children's coats. The
new materials brought out this season
are so rich in themselves that It re-
quires very little trimming to make
the garments attractive. says the Dry
Goods Economist. Rich Scotch mix
lures. fancy cbeviots and double
faced materials are among the sea-
sons novelties which promise to NEE
with great success. In the double-face
fabrics the reverse side is frequently
used for the trimming. and is either in
plaid or striped effect or in con

FIGHT WITH BIG coPPERHEAD
Pennsylvania Sign Painter Frightened
at First, Returns and Dis
patches Reptiles.

Allentown. Pa.-Eugene Carl, an AL
lentown sign painter. is laid up with
twftching nerves as result OF battle
with G. monster copperhead. He was
walking across the meadow at Doruey
park to paint sign, when he heard a
kissing noise and saw the retpile
coiled to strike.
He fought the snake off as best he
could by striking 1t with his paint
brush and kettle, but the reptile was
as sktllful as boxer. and finally
reached him; but. fortunately, it's
fangs were only imbedded In his trous-
ers and did not strike the skin. Carl's
cries brought to his help Calvin Nyce,
who killed the snake with stick It
was 51e feet long.
After thinking over the matter
over night Nyce went to the spot
again and found the snakes compan-
ion. female. with "a young ones,
which were dispatched.

New Disease Mixes Sounds, COL
ors, 0dors and Tastes.
Physicians Now Recognize Condition
Which Probably Accounts for Hal
Iucinations Of Insane-It is
Called synesthesIa.

New Neutrality-suspicious. now recog-
niZe a condition which probably ac-
counts for the hallucinations and delu-
sions of the insane. 1t is called syn
esthesia. and those afflicted with 1t
are known as synesthesics. 1t is that
peculiar condition in which sounds Gre
ate the idea of colors, and vice versa,
or in which colors. tastes. sounds and
odors are confused.
"Synesthesia is not matter OF
much practical Importance says
American Medicine, but 1t is highly
interesting to say the least 1t is that
curious phenomenon of the overflow of
sensations so that air waves, for in
stance. give a sensation of color as
well as sound. 1t seems that through
some defect of development the corti-
cal centers (of the brain) are not In
sulated from each other completely, SO
that a stimulus received from the re-
tina say, ts not confined to the visual
centers. but affects adjoining ganglia.
The commonest form is colored
hearing. and most of the cases of
synesthesia investigated up to a few
years ago were Of this type. No two
were alike. that is. the same sound
would cause different coIors or shad-
ings in the different cases; a locomo-
tive whistle would be yellow to one.

Moreover, in some cases only a few
sounds are colored, such as the tones

sound has light sensation added to

RAPE is an exquisite fabric
which we almost wish might be
used for other than mourning
wear But it has become so thor
oughly established at the head of the
list of those fabrics suited to mourn
ing apparel that 1t will never be dis
lodged Grape is. in fact, in our CIV
ilization the insignia of mourning and
is used in gowns and wraps as well
as In millinery. Its weave and body
make possible very beautiful effects
In workmanship and mourning hats
rarely are improved by decorations
other than those made of Grape.
For first mourning, hats of Grape
or Grape and plain silk should be me-
dunn In size and carefully made silks
are manufactured especially for
mourning wear and are used in con
junction with Grape in with fine effect
Shapes for mourning millinery should
be conservative in every way. No
extremes of size, no noticeable &C.
centricities are good form. 1t is in
neat and ingenious work that mourn
ing millinery is pre-eminent.

amples of mourning Of the highest or
der of excellence. The round hat. oi

the body of the hat in grenadine. In

A tongue made entirely of Grape

fastened to place by the buckle.
A turban shape, made entirely of
rounded folds, is trimmed with pair
of wings made In the same way and
mounted by means OF buckle OF dull
Jet. The folds are cut In such way
that the rib runs across them on the

LAWN AND MUSLIN FRocKs
Some Suggestions Regarding tho Max
Ing Of These Light, Airy Sum-
mer Dresses.

Ready-made lawn and muslin frocks
sell from three dollars up. With home
making 1t must be remembered that
soft material is needed for the
tucking at the top OF the skirt SO as
not to be bunglesome.
Anent all the little inexpensive
wash textures that might be used for
frocks. word regarding the doctor
ing of black and white with color
is in order. The shops are using
edges of plain red or blue or green
lawn, together with line OF plain
black, on black and white wash frocks
of all sorts. SO. of course. the unmade
materials are provided for private
making. With little coarse lace for
the yoke and undersleeve edges, these
lawn bands put on the bottom of the
skirt and In some manner on the
bodice transform a cheap goods into
something that seems expensive. So
treat the lawns In this manner, and
at the same time try and keep the
frock as long as possible without
washing. For although accounted tub
colors. there are many summer dyes
that respond with bad grace to soap
and water.

FUN BY BARoNET AND WIFE
Disguise Themselves as "Poor Musi-
clans" and 90 on Tour-Friends
Drive Them Away.

London.-An escapade in which fig
ure well-known baronet. his wife, a
cavalry officer, the heir Of another bar
onet and street organ is reported
from Warwickshire.
The incident. which took place a
few miles from Nuneaton, has caused
much amusement among those con-
nected with the Atherstone hunt
Having hired piano-organ from
some travelling foreigners, the baronet
and his wife disguised themselves as
Italian musicians. The former wore
slouch hat and old clothes which had
formances; the latter wore old gar
ments and bound her head with a col
ored silk handkerchief.
Accompanied by kinsman Of the
baronet, they set out to the neighbor-
ing mansion occupied by the son Of a
baronet well known in London.
No sooner had they begun to reel on
tieman appeared upon the scene and.
in a peremptory manner. ordered their
instant withdrawal under threat of
calling In the police.
When. after time, they made
themselves known. he Joined them in
a peregrination OF the village, and
eventually the. "adventurers' reached
the seat OF a country magnate. lead
ing Justice OF the peace.
Here the butler was sent to tell
them to leave the grounds Immediate
ly. and 1t was not until the irate squire
himself appeared on the scene that
the quartet retired.
The climax was reached when the
party arrived at another country resi-
dence. The family were away from
home. but the servants in body de-
scended uuon the poor musicians"
But the party reached home with
their disguise unpenetrated. and few
days later details of the Joke" leaked
out. and were discussed and greatly
enjoyed by the field that met the
Atherstone hounds near the village
where the escapade was planned.

of Metallic CoIors.

AbsorptIon-Prof. Cutler on
Arid Problem.

Ohicago.-Peaoocks and pigeons. but
kerfiies and beetles the gayest OF the
bird and insect tribes-have yielded
the secret Of their brilliant attire to
Prof. Albert A Nicholson, head of the
department Of physics of the Univer-
city Of Chicago, who has discovered in
his laboratory the real cause OF the
metallic colors observed in his feath-
cred and buggy" specimens.
Prof. Nicholson. who won the No
bel prize In 1909 for his achievements
In optics. announced his latest find in
a paper read at the annual conference
OF the Illinois State Academy OF Sci
anoe. In the botany building Of the Uni
verstty Of Chicago. The professors
experiments prove that the colors stud
led are the result Of light absorption
due to the shape Of the surfaces and
are not caused by the pigment cells or
any means that the amateur naturalist
might imagine.
The discovery. according to the SCI
entists at the meeting. furnishes schol-
axs with a new theory for important
color phenomena It overturns the
position held by many distinguished
Investigators that the irridesoent gilt
ter Of beetles and the tints Of the
humming birds are the result Of or
dtnary Interference and "diffrac-
tion~
The total number of specimens
which have been examined" said the
investigator. "is perhaps not SO large
as IT should be to draw general con-
illusions. and It Is clearly desirable
that It should be extended, but so far
as the evidence for surface films as
the efecttng source Of the metallic col
OTIS in birds and insects Is entirely con-
elusive"
Prof. John M. Coulter. head of the
University Of Chicago botany depart
ment, said:
Practical plant breeding Is now on
a practical basis and botany has at
last attacked the fundamental prob
lens and may be of some practical
service. for 1t includes plant breed

OF the possibilities of converting arid
land into wheat and corn lands Prof
Coulter said:
Attempts are being made to secure
a combination Of hardness to drought
which we desire and quality of grain
which we possess. | see no reason
why the vision should not be realized,
but you need not invest In arid land
for immediate use as wheat fields. In
the case Of corn. as of wheat, we are
not breeding It for drought resistance
alone. and 1t will take many plant gen.
eradons of the highest type OF scien-
tihc plant breeding to determine
whether We can combine this drought
resistant structure with the high grade
quality and yield we have already OBJ
tanned in our cultures"
