PROPOSE GARDENS FOR POOR
City of Buffalo Planning to Rent
Ground for Municipal Farming
Loan Tracts to Worthy.

Buffalo, n. Y.-"That it would be a
good business move for the city to
lease, for stated periods, tracts OF
available land, and turn the same over
to the worthy poor for municipal gar
dening purposes" was an idea ad-
yanced by Louis J. Kenngott, city
overseer of the poor. Heretofore, y
said he, 1.-The municipal gardening done
here has been on plots of ground, the
use of which has been donated by the
owners.
These plots have been loaned, with
the understanding that possession or
the same was to revert to their own
ers In case the lands should be sold
So the poor, who planted crops on
these plots, were always facing the
possibility of losing the results OF
their labor by having their plots,
when under cultivation, taken from
them through a change of ownership.
OF course, such deprivation would not
happen often"

HOW TO BECOME BEAUTIFrL
Millennium for Fair Sex, as Far as Per-
sonal Appearance Is Concerned,
Says Artist.

Boston.-The millennium has come
for women Of high and low degree
fat, thin, TALL short and middling-as
far as personal appearance is con-
cerned, says Henry Turner Bailey, the
Boston artist, If the rules laid down
by him are followed Perfection of
beauty depends on dress tones, says
Artist Bailey.
ITO begin with, The athletic or man
nish girl is unattractive from every
viewpoint" he says. when l say
woman can be well gowned if she lives
up to certain artistic rules, | am talk
ing only of feminine women, not of
those who try to ape the men.
'In regard to the color of the cos
tune, that should be determined by
the complexion of the wearer. The
larger and plumper woman the more
quietly she should dress. In nature it
is the butterfly who is brilliant, not
the elephant. One very great danger
is in OVERRIDING dress. This fault is
most evident among the newly rich.
The costumes Of self respecting shop
girls are better, as a rule, than the
costumes Of the newly rich woman.
IF one is tall she should wear
gowns made on horizontal lines and
never have dresses too long or too
short. If short, the costume should be
made on vertical lines. Never have
your dresses short, regardless Of style.
If one is stout, dress plainly in one
color scheme. If one is thin, mixed
goods are permissible.
THE use of animals and birds for
trimming should be banished from mil
linery. Women are sometimes bar
barrie Of themselves. Anything that
echoes the barbaric or animal is out of
place There is also the danger of
sharpening the finger nails until they
remind one of bird and animal claws.
The eye should never be attracted
to the feet. Women possessing large
feet should never wear tan shoes"

HA WAXAN STAMP AT $4,000

the early days of irregular mails by
the first missionary families and &C.
casional whalers give added interest
Still, to the philatelist their very
crudity in printing and spacing makes
them more precious. Each one of the
first sets has been identified and it's
minute differences from it's fellows
ticketed as in the case Of early books
and prints. If the difference between
the original five-cent value Of this
stamp and the present-day valuation
of $1,000 seems startling to the non
philatelist, there is another sort of
Hawaiian stamp that presents an
even greater rise.
This stamp, which was seen by Mr.
Colson In studying the exhibits at
the Bishop museum in Hawaii, is of
only a two-cent denomination, but it
brings today about $4,000.

IDEAS OF MORALITY
and the two institutions stand sep

and the two institutions stand sep
arate'
In discussing the matter of incest,
Professor Kroeber said that it could
not be based on reason, because 1t is
a biological fact that the nearness OF
relation of parents does not produce
inferior offspring. 1t is popular mis-
take that marriage of cousins and
near of kin Is an occasion of weak
children, unless it has been continued
for generations; and in the case of
horses and dogs, breeding IS custom
arily done between animals of the
nearest blood relationship.
The fact that there is nothing more
at the bottom Of our morals than
these vague feelings or instincts
causes different peoples to go on try
ing to justify them In reason, with
widely opposite results In England,
until recently, it was thought wrong
for a man to marry his brothers
widow, while in other nations it was
frequently made compulsory for him
to do so, he said. In England the in
stinct against incest was built upon
to an abnormal degree.
Doctor Kroeber told the story of
Pacific island mother who went to a
white woman visiting on the island,
telling of an awful wrong other people
had done in eating her baby. The
white woman, Of course, had an equal
ly keen sense Of the wrong. but, on
investigation, learned that the mother
considered herself wronged because
she had not been allowed to partici-
pate in the meal. This exemplified,
he said, the way people often attempt
to condemn an act in reason and do
so by directly opposite means In
conclusion, he stated that We should
not go back of our instincts. but let
them stand as, reason In themselves.

AnthropoIogist Talks of Primitive
Mans Standard.
Religion Has No Natural Connection
With Morals AS Is Often Sup
posed-incest Cannot Be
Based on Reason.

Berkeley, Cal-Addressing the Phi
losOphical Union on the subject OF
Moral Theory and Practice in Pr1m-
tive Life,' Prof. A. l.. Kroeber OF San
Francisco, head of the department OF
Lnthropology at the university, an
nounced a doctrine that reverses the
general idea of morality and its ex-
tstence. The savage, he says, is just
as moral as the civilized man OF this
or any other age, and man, as race,
is moral and immoral because he is
made that way and cannot help it.
There are four stages Of morals, .
said Professor Kroeber, instructive
morals, which are evident in the ami
mails as we'll as ourselves; next,
morals shaped by social standards, as
in primitive man; then stage where
conscience enters, and, fourth, a stage
that no race has yet reached, but
which it may, where morality is en-
tirely a matter of intelligence.
But all these later stages arise
from the first, wherein we do not diff
fer from the lower animals, but feel
instinctively that a thing is good or
bad, and base our actions on that In
stinct. The repugnance which muir
der, incest and cannibalism have for
us are purely instructive, and are pos
sessed by the savage just the same as
by the civilized man.
Where real virtue arises is in liv-
ing up to our standards, and in that
sense we are no better than the most
primitive savage, often not as good.
The setting Of our standards is not a
moral matter, but one Of culture and
civilization.
Religion has no natural connec-
ton with morals, and the two do not
go hand in hand, as is often supposed
Religion is product of our civiliza-
ton. At certain times religion gets
an opportunity to seize upon morality
and incorporate 1t into itself, but the
two never assimilate. 1t is due to
this that morals have now become al
most entirely divorced from religion

Boston Enthusiast Claims Increased
Interest Among PhiIateists-
Trip Well Spent.

Boston.-A trip to Hawaii for the
express purpose Of studying the post
age stamps Of the island, with the
consequent purchase of two Of the
rarest stamps Of that sort in exist
ence has just been completed by War
rem Fl. Colson of Boston, who, with
the true collectors enthusiasm, con-
siders the trip well spent by the
single acquisition Of the two bits of
crudely printed blue paper that sold
half century ago for five cents each
and that are now valued at $1,000
apiece.
That stamp collecting is to receive
a great impetus in popularity among
grown men once more is the belief
of Mr.. Colson, who points out the fact
that King George v is a devoted
philatelist and gave up his position
as president of the Royal Philatelic
Society Of London only when his &C.
cession to the throne made this pro-
cedure necessary.
Mr.. Colson has himself become one
Of the best-known collectors and con-
noisseurs in the world of philatelists,
and SO he is averse to the impression
that his trip to Hawaii for study in
his chosen field should be confused
by nonphilatelists with the stamp col
lecting that every schoolboy INDUCES
in at one time or another.
For example, he has gathered mate
rial during his four months journey
for monograph on Hawaiian stamps
from the time Of the earliest mission
aries through the provisional govern
ment to the present day. AS for the
two rare stamps he acquired, they are
known among philatelists as "the
Hawaii five-cent blue, 1882" of the
missionary issue. They were printed
by Henry M. Whitney, the first post
master at Honolulu, and the son of
Samuel Whitney, one of the early mis-
sionaries sent out by the board of
american missions in 1919.
To the average person these stamps
look like ordinarily poor examples of
