John w. Alexander Adds His Tes-
timony to DR.. Sargent's.
American Woman's Figure 10 Becom-
Ing More Masculine In Line Every
Day-outdoor Exercises and
Life Blamed.

New York.-If the American woman
persists In her undue athletic sports,
there will soon be little difference be-
tween the masculine and the feminine
figure.
So says John w. Alexander, presi-
dent of the National Academy Of De-
eign. In this he agrees with DR.. Dud-
ley Sargent, Of Harvard, who said
about the same thing. Mr.. Alexan-
der, one Of Americas foremost por-
trait painters has had ample oppor-
tunity to study women of every coun-
try and cline. In his home, at lie
West Sixty-f1fth street, Mr.. Alexander
declared that the American woman's
figure is becoming more masculine In
line every day.
Just where the beauty of such I'M
natural development comes in, don't
see," said the painter 81 don't see
why any woman should be proud of
losing that which constitutes her
greatest charm, her womanly bearing
and figure. But that is just what the
American women of all classes seem
determined to do.
In no other country In the world
do you see such masculinelike figures
az the American women have. In
France the woman is the personifica-
ton Of grace. In Germany the woman
is not so graceful, perhaps, but she
has that motherly bearing which gives
her lovableness that is not often
found among our women. In England
the stateliness and dignities of the
women dissipate the slightest sugges-
ton of the masculine.
TT has only been In the last few
years that this change has been SO de-
cidedly marked among our women.
'If she continues her violent exer.
cises and outdoor life. in few years
she will be so manlike in figure that
she will look ridiculous in woman's
attire.
up to a certain point this outdoor
life and development is excellent. 1t
gives the girl all that women of this
country have been distinguished for
Abroad free, easy carriage. and an
independence in movement and action
that at once inspires confidence in
her ability to meet crisis But this
point has been overstepped and she Is
becoming anything but interesting.

LAST FROM TOLSTO|.
Says War Against Capital Pun

FINAL Article Entitled EFFECTIVE

Count In optina Monastery,
November II.

st. Petersburg.-From vladimir
Tschertkoff, literary agent of Count
rolstoi, the last article written by
Tolstoi has been received. 1t is en-
titled Effective Means" and was
written by Tolstoi in the Optina
monastery, November IL, shortly aft.
or he began his self-imposed exile
from home. The article was given
out by M. Tschertkoff at the express
wish of Count Tolstoy for dissemina-
hon to mankind. 1t says:
Il am naturally anxious to do all
can against evil, which tortures the
best spirits OF our time.
II think the present effective war
against capital punishment does not
need forcing; there is no need for an
expression of indignation against its
immortality, cruelty and absurdity-
every sincere thinking person. every.
body knowing from youth the sixth
commandment. needs no explanation
of its absurdity and immortality;
there is no need for descriptions of
the horrors Of executions, as they
only affect hangmen, SO men will
more unwillingly become execution.
ers and governments will be obliged
to compensate them more dearly for
their service.
Therefore, think that neither the
expression of indignation against the
murder of our fellowmen nor the sug-
gestion of its horror is mainly need
ed, but something totally different.
"As Kantwell says. there are delu-
sions which cannot be disproved and
we must communicate to the deIuded
mind the knowledge which will en-
tighten and then the decisions will

Cost of a Year at Oxford


The scout must have minimum of SIS
a term and the scouts boy $3.50.
All meals are the more expensive for
the perquisites of the scouts. His bat
tells OF weekly bills for food are with
difficulty kept below $40 week. What
with rent for rooms, tutors fees and
the rest, terms bill very rapidly ap-
proaches $3.50 and may easily exceed
1t by considerable sum. This sum
does not, of course, include very large
items in the general daily outlay.
It is unquestionable that Cambridge
is on the whole very much less dear
than Oxford. 1t would be interesting
to see comparative tables of a years
expenditure at Oxford and Cambridge
and at any good Scotch university.
