Woman the ImpersonaI.

Woman Is not personality. She
is a symbol. This is by no means
assigned to her an inferior place. Far
from it, To regard woman as an in
ferior, man is foolish, and as long as
the woman movement, working on
that basis, tries to prove that she is
an equal or superior man, it must
break down. AS long as scientists and
scholars insist on treating the points
where woman differs from man as in
feriorit1es, so long will their work
remain useless. Equally foolish is the
discussion of which is the more high
ly organized. Both are superior; both
complete. They are merely different
Woman has Q different nature, a
different purpose; and the self-cen-
tered feeling Of personality is impossi
BILE to her. She is God-centered,
symbol of divine nature, power
working through man to accomplish
what she will She Is to men the
vision Of creativeness, and this vision

Of woman's Interpretation Of the word

but in her nearnes to divine nature

tied America before he achieved world
fame, and the sapient, cock-sure crit
les of New York were very hard on

him that DR.. Strauss had not yet
either forgotten or forgiven them. The
wound is still raw. It still bleeds"
The musician regarding with an abb
sent smile the slow, lazy graceful
dives of school of porpoises in the
tumbling water, continued:
II had the honor last year of attend
ing one of Dr. Strauss rehearsals in
Munich. 1t was q new symphony, very
beautiful, but very bizarre. In the

New York.-The average man who
stands at the edge Of swimming pool
ready to take the plunge which for
him means refreshment and delightful
relief does not realize that he is about
to expose himself to the attack of mil
lions upon millions of disease germs
in the tempting water before
him. 1t matters little where this swim
ming pool happens to be, whether in
fashionable clubhouse or in the base
ment Of an East Side tenement house;
almost everywhere, owing to ineffl-
cient supervision and ignorance of the
dangers involved, these pools are de-
clared by certain investigators to be
menace to health.
So grave, in fact, do these investi-
gators consider the danger Of disease
from this source that it has been
thought necessary to call an interna-
tional conference of bath officials to
convene at The Hague this summer,
and in New York City a meeting of
public bath officials was held recently

Anecdotes of Henner.


Nine. Steinheil's extraordinary me
moirs" contain some bits of personal
anecdote in startling contrast to the
horrors she depicts Of the notorious
murder case, prison experience and
trial. She writes of Henner, the cele
brated painter Of milk white auburn
haired beauties unadorned.
II never knew Henner to be en-
barrassed. But If he was never en-
barrassed he had embarrassing hab-
its, the worst Of which was that of
examining the shoulders and arms Of
ladies In decollette with unperturbed
insistence. And not infrequently he
would say: Allow me, just one Sec
ond; want to feel the grain, the quail
ity Of your skin
And before the victim had time to
move he would press down his hairy
and grimy fore1nger on her bare arm,
or even on her neck
Withdrawing his fingers, he would
pass some such remark as this: It's
really wonderful. l never grow tired
Of feeling flesh. 1t is all made Of lit

NOVEL USE FOR MUSIC
MAY BE MADE TO ExTINGUisH
FIRE 10 CLAIM.
San Francisco Man Makes the Asser.
ton, and Bases It on Vibration
Theory-Scientists, Unconvinced,
Listen With Respect.

When Charles Kellogg of San Fran
cisco announced that he could sing a
fire out there was scoffing among the
unbelievers. They had heard Of this
man before, and knew he could imi-
tate any bird he admired in the wood
land; that he had been able to pro-
cure wonderful pictures of wild ami
mails through the Sierra Mountains,
because he made them completely un-
afraid by his singing; they knew that
serpents had absolutely no terrors for
him. But fire, they argued, has
no life, no mind, therefore it cannot
be hypnotiZed, tanned or lulled."
Nevertheless, fires are being sung
out under test conditions.
Fire, says Mr. Kellogg, who denies
all Wizardry, is vibration; and just
as it has been shown in the laboratory
that one vibration may annul, control,
silence another, so the proper one will
still the vibration of fire, and, when
the vibration is stilled, the fire is out
Mr.. Kellogg makes no claim that
any human voice can sing to quietude
the vibrations of confagration. The
extinguishing vibrations must be of
volume commensurate with those to
be controlled, but he does maintain
that the fire-fghting operation in the
future will be based upon these prin-
ciples.
According to this theory, one may
live to see giant tuning forks or must
cal instruments taking the place Of
the fire engines.
Kellogg was born in the California
mountains, where he grew up in close
touch with nature. His ability to re-
produce unsteady all sounds of
mother earth is phenomenal.
Make a few simple little expert
ments in vibration on your own ac-
count. Hold an empty cigar in your
hands in the room where someone Is
playing the piano, and every now and
then you will feel that box vibrate.
Try singing in a room where there
are several small stringed instru-
ments and you will be pleased some
times to hear string sing with you.
The soothing, healing power of
music in treating the insane has
called forth remarks lately. Will the
physician of the future take tempera-
lures with tuning fork and pre-
scribe harmonious chords to allay
fever or concord of sweet sounds :"
to hasten the knitting Of bones?

ton is preliminary step to the inter
national conference.
Swimming POOLS" says H. F. J. Por.
ter, discussing the matter in a recent
issue Of the Survey, ARE little more
than cesspools." The public generally
regards them as refreshing, invigorat-
ing and beneficial, and few have ever
dreamed that they may be breeders Of
disease. There are hundreds Of such
pools all over the city. Recently in
the interest of the department Of bac
teriology OF the University Of Chicago
K. N. Atkins made a careful study OF
five pools whose water supply was
supposed to be clean. Investigation
proved that they caused ailments OF
eye, ear and throat and intestinal dis
ease
Investigations in Hamburg and in
Purdue, Brown, Chicago and Yale uni
versities showed that the impurities
are bacterial and chemical foreign
matter, and all detected the presence
of dangerous disease microbes. This
condition existed in places where the
details of hygiene and sanitation are
otherwise scrupulously looked after.
Examination of the Hamburg pools
showed that water fresh from the tap
contained 81 microbes a cubic cent?
meter After IA persons had bathed in
the water there were 1900 microbes
in the same quantity OF water. When
494 persons had entered the pool the
number had increased to 64,400, and
after 1929 bathers had been in contact
with the water there were $4,000 mi
crobes present to the cubic cent?.
meter.
The last figures are interesting in
that they show no proportionate in.
crease in the number of microbes, and
in that way illustrate the septic tank
theory; that Is, after certain point
of development the, septic condition OF
water either kills the microbes or
they devour each other when they
have become too numerous thus main
tanning a maximum Of fmpurity.
