DECLARES HELL
INVENTED BY MAN
Mrs. Kate Trimble Woolsey, Apostle of
Free Thought, Denounces
Doctrine

"Hell was a man-made invention, -
declared beautiful Mrs. Kate Trimble
Woolsey, who stopped in New York on
her way to Chicago to open the ma
tional convention of liberal leagues.
Mrs. Woolsey was the delegate-at-large
from the United States to the interna-
tional free thought congress at Brus-
sells last summer. What she then termed
the new Lords prayer" in converting
the assembly, has been adopted by the
free thinkers throughout the world.
'They found hell useful for nearly
1000 years, she continued, "to intimi-
date weak-minded women and then
keep them in what they choose to des-
ignate as woman's sphere Of subsection
and silence. But civilization has elm
mated this horrible belief from the
heart of man as it has overcome other
frightful crimes and brutalities
"What a distortion of the deity to
endow him with the cruelty and brutal
ity of man. 1t is a part of the same
theology which classes woman with
dumb beasts, which has inflicted polit-
zeal, legal and civic death on the
feminine sex.
cit is woman who has emancipated
mankind from this frightful belief in a
place of eternal torture.
ono woman could ever have invented
the narrowing notion attributed to a
medieval theologian that hell is paved
with the skulls of unbaptized infants
Maternal tenderness has always been
the antidote Of masculine cruelty and
has been one of the influences which
have won the world away from the
idea of tortured present and future
life.
Organism did not contain this
charming conception of grilling souls
and paganism was much kinder to
women than theologians have led her
to believe.
"Of course, there are still many
ignorant beings to whom the myth of
hell seems a brutal actuality. But the
intelligent world has definitely thrown
it overheard"

steneiIIna Hints.

When stenciling a design for a
wallpaper frieze. draw the diapered
pattern on heavy paper so as to al
low the skeleton design to hold firm
ly together after the sprays have
been cut out from stencil plates. Cut
out each piece Of the drawing with
q sharp knife. and lay it on a rough
piece of the cardboard so that the
edge OF the knife is not turned.
Prepare each piece to resist the
action of the color by sizing or by
shellac dissolved In methylated
spirits.
Mix the color with one-third pic
ture copal varnish and two-thirds
turpentine. using only a small por-
ton at a time. as 1t is very volatile.
Then dab the color all over the sur
face OF the design with a stencil
brush. You will then be ready to ap-
ply It to the walls.

Eleven Million Bushels Kafir Corn.

The Oklahoma state reports show
the katir corn crop this season to be
the best in several years and the grain
yield per acre to be much better than
corn, as the average yield per acre is
given at 22.3 bushels, while the corn
yield was only 1871 bushels. The kafir
corn grain yield per acre last year ac-
cording to the assessors returns was
4.6 bushels showing the remarkable
difference in favor of this years crop
of 17.7 bushels. The total estimated
yield of the grain crop is IL ,O11,261, as
compared with 2,255,470 for the 1909
crop. The greater part of this big
katfir corn yield was raised in western
Oklahoma, where it is needed for winter
feeding on account of the corn crop
being almost a failure in some sections.
The big kaffir corn grain yields made
this year, when corn in the same locali-
ties was hardly worth harvesting, dem
onstrate very forcibly that farmers
in southwestern and western Oklahoma
would make a surer and as good a feed
ing crop as corn by raising kaffir corn
and milo maize
The kafir corn forage crop averaged
tons per acre, as compared with one.
half ton per acre for the 1909 crop
The estimated number of tons of forage
raised this season is given at 1,10O,339
tons, as compared with 225,5S tons foI
last year crop.
The estimated acreage of kafir corn
raised this year is 49s, 1877, as compared
with 1924 acres raised in 1909.

PEARY SAYS HE WAS THERE.
North Pole Explorer Gives Testimony
to Congress Committee.

Armed with what his friends declare
ample proof that he had been to the
north pole, Captain Robert E. Perry
appeared Saturday before the subeom-
mittee on private bills OF the house on
naval affairs and submitted evidence.
He appeared in connection with the bill
for recognition of his services.
For the most part the members of
the subcommittee were convinced be-
fore he appeared that he had reached
the pole. But it was deemed best to
head off any charge on the floor of the
house that his promotion had been rec
commended without consideration of the
evidence. Moreover, two members OF
the subcommittee were well known to
be hostile to Peary' claims as an ex'
Representative Moon of Ar.
kansas and Roberts of Massachusetts,
Mr.. Macon insists that if Peary be rec
ognized and promoted then DR.. Cook
ought to be.
In spite of this the feeling of the
committee generally is favorable tC
Peary and the opinion was expressed
among members of the subcommittee
that there was to be legislation for hi.
promotion along the lines recommended
by the president and secretary of the
navy. In the hearing Captain Peary wa.
subjected to close questioning by the
committee. He told in frank anc
straightforward manner about his polar
trips.

situation Entirely Different From
That In other Big citles-Too Many
Sets Of Almost Equal Importance
Many Clever Women.

Washington.-''Who is the real lead
er Of Washington society?" is a ques-
ton frequently asked over the tea
cups and in the embrasure of club
windows when the social season
opens. Although never answered, it
never fails to arouse a discussion In
which no two participants are agreed.
The late Mrs. Astor's acknowledged
supremacy In the New York social
world served to draw attention to the
fact that the social situation in the
capital city is far different from that
of New York and that the unquestion-
ed sway Of the individual is hardly
possible here from the very constitu-
ton Of society itself. It is different
here, in that It possesses several dis
tinct sets and there are persons who
are prominent, even leaders in one of
these sets who have few Affiliations
with the others.
This winters social season at Wash
ington starts with the understanding
that there is to be in some sort a re-
organization of what in the first presi-
dents time was awkwardly called
"the republican court"-that is to say
the persons on the invitation list OF
the White House. Mrs. Taft is repre-

Naval officer May Lose Place.
President Taft is much incensed over
the "last drop of blood speech of
Commander w. S. Sims, delivered at
Guildhall, London, wherein the Ameri-
can naval officer pledged the last dol
lar and the last drop of American
blood to the defense of Great Britain
in the event of attack from an ex-
ternal enemy. The president took the
matter up at the cabinet meeting with
Mr.. Meyer, secretary of the navy.
Those who predicted that the presi-
dent would let the matter pass lightly
are badly mistaken That Commander
Sims should have so far forgotten him
self on an important occasion, as to
put the United States government in
an embarrassing position has made the
president so angry that more than a
simple reprimand for Commander Sims
is almost certain to follow: In fact,
it is understood that Commander Sims
is about slated to lose his command and
that the battleship Minnesota soon will
be given TO another officer Whether
any further action against Commander
Sims is to be taken will not be known
until the president IS communication to
Mr.. Meyer is made public.
