LEISURE ron FARM WOMEN.


Virginia State Normal school at Ilar-
risonburg were asked recently to
solve the problem OF more leisure for
farm women. Leisure. in degree,
was recognized as the sine qua non
10 culture and progress. The girls
were given thirty days in which to
studv the question, TO read &c talk.
to think: at the end o. that period
each was to givc her plan rs briefly

The problem was thus stated. How
MAY farm women secure some leis-

She one hundred girls who answered

question in textbooks; the i"ajority
Of them had also studied it from the
experience OF actual life IN the farm
most OF them were farmers daugh-
tiers. who, although unmarried sought
TO look at the problem from the view
point Of wife and mother.
Here is summary OF the enc hun
dred answers received:
Practically all the proposed solu-
tions agree on two points: First, the
farm wife must systematlzc he- work;
second, the husband must be thought

What is meant by system? The

New Orleans, La, Dec. pa pair
Iof trim red shoes at the end of an
Iequally interesting pair of shapely ana
silken ankles, the whole being sur
mounted by a stylishly Transparent
skirt. are the foundation for an ap-
peal filed before the grave judges Of
the supreme court by an attorney for
the New Orleans Railway and Lifht
Company. The disastrous ankles and
red shoes were the property of a pref
ty actress who was the chief witness
in a damage suit brought by hand
some widow.
The company lost the case before
jury. Said jury was composed of
men. each one of whom had good eyes
and was entirely human. 1t was little
wonder then. that, since the chief
witness and her red shoes were close
to the jury box the twelve men and
true. after gravely regarding the red
shoes and comely ankles, did retire
and award the handsome widow $500.
Thrown Down; Sues Company.
The BRIEF states in cold legal Ian
guage that Mrs. Edward Vincent sued
the company for $3.50. She alleged
that she was riding in one of the cars
of the company when it stopped with
sudden jerk for which that type
of machine is just famous. AS she
rose to leave the car, she declared that
the car started with even more
lence and threw her to the floor of
the aisle, knocking her unconscious
and injurng her the $3.50 worth.
Attorneys for the company tried to
show that Mrs. Vincent's injuries re-
suited from the ordinary operations
OF the car and not from any negligence
on the part of the precipitous motor
man. Cases of opnderous tonnage
we're cited; ruthless oratory by the
column was thrown to the resoundine
rafter; confusing questions were filed
a. the witnesses and damaging ad-
missions made.

But what awaited all this if in the
ace of the discreet red shoes and the
trim silken ankles! Evidently not az

widow, they looked admiringly upon
the actress whose red shoes adorned
the witness stand and-said that the
company ought to pay Mrs. Vincent

shoes"

HEARST PRAISED
FOR SUPPORT Of
CURRENCY BILL
Senator Owen Predicts Passage Of
Glass Measure and Rural
Credit Law.

WASHINGTON. Sept. Ex-senator
owen. chairman Of the Senate Com
mittee on Banking and Currency
expresses his appreciation of the
splendid support given by William
Randolph Hearst to the banking and
currency reform bill now pending in
Congress.
Senator owen said:
IN the midst of innumerable ar
ticles appearing in the public press,
very many Of which are inaccurate
and misleading and a few OF them
obviously inspired by the hostile
propaganda engineered by selfish in
tercsts, it is very gratifying to find
the newspapers controlled by VIII
liam Randolph Hearst giving a Wig
orous and patriotic support 10 the
objects Of this bill and to the main
features Of the measure.
There is no question whatever
about the bill passing. The intelli-
gence and patriotism Of the country
demand action and this bill will be
perfected and passed within a very
few weeks. For five years the COun-
try has been studying this problem.
Hundreds OF thousands Of dollars Of
public funds have been spent in a
critical analysis Of the European sys-
TENS and Of the problems involved,
and during the last two years the dis
cussion has been vigorously carried
on in Congress and out Of it,
while this bill does not, Of course
attempt to cover the system of agri-
cultural credits, except in a small
degree. by permitting the use Of a
portion of the national bank funds
to be invested in farm mortgages; the
present Congress undoubtedly will
perfect an agricultural credit system
which will harmonic with the ma
tiOnal banking system and supple
ment its obvious lack of power as a
commercial bank system to meet the
permanent investment needs Of the
agricultural interests of the country.
Naturally a few of the big banks
which can be used by larger men for
building and bearing stock markets
and which may be deprived OF the
undue and injurious control they
have heretofore had over the credit
system of the country may oppose
this plan to give a greater degree Of
financial freedom to men engaged in
the productive Industries of the ma
tion. But the opposition of mere
selfshness will not prevail to deny
the people of the United States the
relief which they are SO obviously
entitled"
