Women as Farmers.

Miss Elizabeth Murray Coffin will
open a farm school for girls at Los An
geles this fall and it will be followed by
other schools in various localities, all
under her management.
The Los Angeles, school farm will
have about 100 acres and the dor
mitories will be bungalows No tuition
fees will be charged as it is expected
that the work of the girls on the farm
will produce enough to pay expenses.
Modified overalls, blouses, strong shoes,
and big hats will constitute the school
uniform and the girls will be taught
every detail of farm work and house
work,
The initial outlay for this farm and
plant will be 100000, and there will
be room for one hundred pupils After
it is well established another farm in
another locality will be started The
intention is to fit girls for taking farms
of their own and SO living in the
open where they will have plenty and
good Health instead Of struggling with
poverty in poorly paid factory jobs.
The story of Miss Coffin is romance
itself She is widow, young, pretty
and a settlement worker. She was
adopted by Lorenzo s. Coffin, the mil
honaire farmer and phiIanthropist OF
Des MONIES, and he supplies the means
for her progressive work for women
On her adoption she changed her name,
taking the name of Coffin.
Miss Coifin's school is only one OF the
agencies at work for women in the ag-
ricultural line. Out in Oklahoma there
are $3.50 girls in the canning clubs and
they are producing profitable results
Oklahoma has over 5000 farmers
who are raising crops IN accordance
with Instructions sent out from the State
Agricultural Society and there are 1875
cotton demonstrators, 1912 corn dem
onstrators and ASl ka6r demonstrators
There are 6,367 boys enrolled in the
clubs under farm instruction besides the
girls.
In time the girls will have as many
opportunities as their brothers in the
farming line.

BEAT LION TO TREES TOP
Two Fat Men Who Went Out Hunting
for Deer Only, Encountered
Bigger Game.

San Francisco, Cal. Lost-two
guns, Ave cigars, several pounds OF
flesh and the wind" of two fat men.
And all because mountain lion,
described as being the largest and
most vicious on record, broke through
the brush recently In Black gulch at
the exact spot where Marin County
Sheriff Jack Heating and s. K Herzog
were stalking deer.
The guns, cigars, several pounds of
flesh and wind" of the two fat men
were all lost in their haste as they
scaled n tall sycamore tree,
From this vantage point the two
freed hunters halloed and were pres
emily rescued by Robert Pearson
Frank Riede and Bill Jones-other
members of the Victor Gun club
who frightened the lion away.
At the foot of the tree the duo re-
covered guns and "wind"-but the
cigars could not be located and II is
believed that the lion appropriated
them. The flesh the fat men hope,
is lost forever.

CURING DISEASED METALS

It has been discovered that the met
al aluminium has disease, anu
careful diagnosis by chemists as
closes the fact that 1t Is proaply oue
to the action of water containing lime.
Tin is made Ill by extreme cold, ana
some other metals have their pests
Just as plants and vegetables have,
and 1t takes careful investigation ana
a long series OF experiments TO learn
the source of the trouble. The alum
mum illness was treated first by FRO
fesors Heyn and Bauer of the lapora-
tory at ross-Lichterfelde. near Ber-
lin.
Cooking utensils were found to be
most affected, and the experiments
were begun on several pots whlch
were made by cold rolling. Numerous
spots on their surface lay in particu-
lar directions, running straight on the
fiat bottom, and In curved lines on the
convex sides. They corresponded TO
the direction of stretching OF the met
al. Chemical tests of the deposit at
the spots indicated showed the pres.
ence of water, alumina and lime. Sim
liar metal was then subjected to all
the conditions that had surrounded
the use of the kitchen utensils. II was
early concluded that neither impurities
in the metal nor atmospheric changes
were responsible for the disease.
1t appeared, however, that city wa
ter had deleterious effect on the
general heslth Of the aluminium sheets
undergoing the test. The thickest
sheets were attacked by tie city wa
ter. After analysing the water and
continuing the experiments with DIFF
ferent kinds Of water, Professor Heyn
was able to decide that lime salts
were probably the cause of the dis
ease, and suggests that aluminium
utensils be subjected as little as pos
sible to llmy water.
