clubs and reading circles throughout

are entering into the quadrennial
throes which precede our Presidential
election along comes somebody and
starts the query, who are the great

living today?" And, behold, the fat
is in the fire, tongues are set to wag-

other minor matters are forgotten
None of us may rest well until the
matter is settled for sure and for
certain" and some authority, accepted
by all the world, has pronounced upon
this momentous question.
In the meantime, of course, any one
who has taken as much as a three

of the world may hold and deliver an

opinion. He or she may go over what
is remembered of the worlds greatest
women and select names deemed
worthy of inscription in the feminine
hall of fame The elector will prob
ably find no one to agree with him or
her, but that need make no difference,
since in this moot question, as in so
many others, one man or one wom-
ans opinion is quite as good as an
others.
For the setting up of some sort of
standard of comparison the list Of
Mrs. William Howard Taft, wife of
the President of the United States,
has been selected here for illustTa-
ton. Whether or not one agrees with
Mrs. Taft in her selection of the
names of the worlds greatest women,
dead or alive, her list is worthy of

the worlds most famous women have
been compiled. On some of them
Mrs. Tafts selections find places,
from others they are omitted. Mary
and Martha Washington, Nancy Hanks
Lincoln, Jane Adams, Mary Lyon,
Mrs. John Adams and other Ameri-
can women have been named. Sarah

compiled by others.

one of Americas masters of landscape

has been accomplished without the aid

that a teacher destroys individuality,

April IL, the boats patrol our coasts,
going out to sea when occasion de-
mands their services. Sometimes they
come into port, but only to replenish
stores or to bring in, at the ends of
towlines, vessels which might other
wise have been lost Often in such
cases the wardrOom and officers

the men taken from wrecks and fed
and warmed and comforted until har-
Dor is made. Sometimes there is at
the end of the towlne only a hulk,
battered by the sea, but still valuable.
