The Modern Spinster.

1t is deemed q mark of wit, in
some quarters, to sheer at the bache-
Tor or the spinster and point to them
with scoln, but there is abundant ev-
idence that the az erage bachelor and
the average spinster are quite as use
full to humanity, in their way, as
their married brothers or sisters.
says the Aberdeen, S. ID. News. 1t all
depends, with the bachelor as with
the benedict. upon the man, as it all
depends with the spinster and her
married sister, upon the woman. The
"cld maid" of an earlier day-who
figured oftener in fiction, anyway.
than she did in real ilfe-the one
with cat and parrot and gossipy
tongue and splteful disposition
has disappeared in these modern
days. The modera spinster is as
busy and as usefuly occupied rs the
mother of a dozen children-if there
are any women any more who mother
flock of twelve. The spinster of
today reads the latest books and mag
azineg She belongs to from one to
half dozen Women's clubs. she is ac-
tive in all coed works. If she is
riuh, like Miss Could, she spends
large portion CT her income in finan-
clay assistance to institutions calcul-
ated to advance mankind, and cspec-
tally womankind, in the scale of civ
ilization. If she has TO work for a
living she does not necessarily con-
fine her efforts to schol teaching, or
to sewing, or 70 trimming hats, or to
working in somebody's kitchen. She
may be cashier in a bank, private
secretary to a railroad president, a
lawyer with a Furnishing practice, a
dentist, physician, travelling
man, /" a merchant or an aviator. In
fact, with tire exception of bartender,
railroad brakeman, fireman, or engi-
nerr, blacksmith and a few other oc-
equations requiring muscle as we'll as
skill, there aren't many activities
connected With human life which the
spinster hasn't invaded and made
good"

FARMER INVENTS sPRAYER.
Patents Machine that will XIII Bugs
While Cultivating.--To Man
ufactufe.

Marshalltown, Iowa, Sept "a
potato sprayer that will spray the
vines at the same time they are Gull
tivated has been invented by Elmer
e. Weatherson, a young farmer living
north of this city. Before applying
for patent Weatherson gave one of
the sprayers a practical test on his
farm and neighbors unite with him in
declaring the device satisfactory i'm
every way.
The sprayer may be attached to
any kind of a cultivator, a pump at
tadhment being operated by sproc-
ket wheel on the cultivation. A tank
holding ten gallons of insecticide is
used on the machine and will spray
four rows eighty rods long without
refilling. An adjustable nozzle, ar
ranged to suit any height of plants,
emits the insecticide as the clltiva-
tor turns the sod. y
WeatherSon's idea as a potato
grower was to get something that
would do the spraying at the same
time the cultiyating was in progress.
"A potato grower connot grow pota-
toes successfully without fighting
bugs" said Weatherson, and no
matter how much is done to combat
the bugs, the potatoes have to be
cultivated just the same. We had
plenty of sprayers but they required
going over the field a second time. y
Friends of Neatherson in the
neigh borhOod are talking of organ
iZiEg a stock company for the
manufacture Of the sprayers in this
city.

CITIZENSHIP IS REFUSED MANY.
Governments New Requirements for
Naturalization Papers Mere
Stringent Than Formerly.

Centerville, Sept. Applicants
for final naturalization papers had a
new experience in court here today.
when of twenty-five who expected to
get through only four did For the
first time the United States govern
ment was represented in court here
by Naturalization Examiner Bode,
who demanded on the part of the gov
eminent that the applicants meet the
stringent demands of the new natura-
liZatiOn law.
Applicants who could not give an
intelligent idea of the United States
form of government, and show some
acquaintance with the constitution
were objected to by Mr.. Bode, and his
objection was sustained by Judge
F. NJ. Hunter. Some had variation
in the name they had applied under
and the name they gave to the immi-
grant officers on coming to this
country. The government had briefs
on all cases and confronted the appli-
cant with history of his case from
the time he left the old country. If
it was found that false information
had been given at any point he was
promptly turned down.
One of the prominent citizens of
Centerville, long a resident of this
country, and who has acted for scores
of Italians in getting their naturaliza-
tion papers, and who was witness in
some of the cases, was confronted
with some defects in his own natural
ization that disqualified him and
threw out all cases he was witness
for. The government is evidently in
sisting on rigid enforcement of the
more stringent laws passed in recent
years and does not propose to natur-
alize foreigners indiscrlminately.
One man who has been in this
country since 1868, and once came
within nineteen votes Of being elected
a member OF the Missouri legislature,
who lost his old papers and had ap-
piled for new ones TO remedy this
was turned down because of irregu-
larities, one of them being that he
did not stipulate the name Of Queen
Victoria, from whom allegiance was
severed.

School for Lip Reading
My dear Miss Doom

MY GEAR MISS DOoH'
Will you kindly let me know
through the Evening Star If there is
school in this city where lip read

pleased to know of such a school, il
there Is enc. Thanking you in ad-
vance for any information you may
give me, am, Yours very truly,
HOPEFUL.
p. S-My hearing has been impaired
for a great many years, and as there
lis no cure for same | am most anxious
to prepare for the worst and know
that lip reading would be most help
full to me. 1 may have a great many
twenties, and 1t is very discoura ging.
You are wise to prepare to meet the
future and to Tighten a burden which
now seems to you inevitable. Don't
give up hope. Maybe some means
will be found of curing your deaf
ness.
If you will go to the James Street
School on James street near Wash
ington street during school hours
and ask for Miss Wright you will be
able to obtain all the information you
desire. This school is for deaf chill
dren, but If you do not care to reg
lister there Miss Wright will probably
be able to recommend one of her
teachers who will give you private in

In this workaday world the wishes
of young wives are often considered
of slight Importance. Why not have
your husband call you at some time
when he can do so without trespass-

means should you insist upon, or even
think of your husbands giving up his

next employer would take the same
