The battles We have to fight give us
the philosophy of life. If everything

from the mountain top look down upon

glorious to rest and watch the other
climbers who are following In the
paths we have known. To sit on the

Thus, 1t behooves us all to let the

the girls were non-moral or actively

home conditions; a large number are
classed as weak or vain or fond of en-
citement or indolent or easily in
fluenced, and others as moral perverts
These results are taken to show that
the downfall of women was due to
causes operative long before they en-
tered the industrial world and that the
entrance of these women into industry
was not responsible for the existence
of their immoral tendencies and did not
furnish in the majority of cases the oc-

The two young daughters, Miss
Alice and Miss Lille Chang, have
been attending school in Washington
for two years, and with the progress
Of their education have abandoned
their picturesque nature clothes for
American garb
Whether they will adopt the clothes

Chang, who spoke for the party at the
St. Francis before they sailed on the
Manchuria, said:
1T all depends on what is in fash

Favor American Fashions.
IF we find American clothes fash

We adopted them when we entered

to pale blue silk crepe costume with
the latest frills and furbelows. when
we wear our other clothes, people
stare so, and sometimes they laugh.
They aren't used to them in Washing

The question of recent changes n

The opening of the skull revealed
a large area of degenerated brain

cyst containing fluid was removed.
This would indicate that in times

Mrs. Annette Robinson, also ar

her way with one William Dieverkorn.
Sudden anger surged through Die
verkorn, but he held himself in check
and escorted the young woman home.
Then he came back, met Andler on

lop.
Andler soon discovered that the
blow was meant for his brother and
that Dieverkorn got mixed in the de-

Otto Andler refused to rest on this
explanation. He caused the arrest of
Dieverkorn, and it came out in court

Judge Sabith inspected the twins,
