A remarkable demonstration of the
control the mind has over the body is
provided by Miss Kittie M. Smith, an
armless Chicago girl who uses her feet
to do the things the average person
accomplshes with the hands, says the
Popular Mechanics Magazine. So adept
has Miss Smith become that she makes
cabinets, book cases, desks, and like
furniture, using with skill all the neces-
sary tools, such as saws, chisels, planes,
etc. In mailing, however, she uses a
Ratchet instead of hammer, as the
shape of the former is better adapted
for tight clutch between the toes.
Miss Smith also sketches with pen and
pencil, does excellent needlework, and
uses a typewriter for her correspond
ence. The daily task of making a
toilet, including brushing her teeth and
washing her face, is done with compar-
alive ease She is also an adept gar
dener, using all ordinary implements
with her toes in the garden of the home
for disabled children which she has
founded at haywood, Chicago suburb.

Trip on a Canal Boat.

The Woman's Home Companion has
been offering prizes for the best letters
descriptive of delightful vacations taken
at little cost. Following is part of the
letter that won the second prize. twas
written by woman in Massachusetts
about canal trip that she and her
daughter took;
''Now, please don't laugh. We did at
first, but it was the joliest, oldest, and
most restful trip we ever took-a canal
trip from Albany to Buffalo, and back.
A real canal trip, with horse, or was it
mule, power, and no train smoke, no
up, no rush or hurry; just green banks
sliding slowly by as we sat on deck
under an awning and read, sewed, talked
or just did nothing. People came to
the banks and talked with us, and of
fered fruits for sale, though some would
take no money, but threw over cherries
or berries, or head of lettuce, perhaps,
simply because they had more than they
wanted.
There was one idyllic sketch where
we kept exclaiming like children, oh,
do see thisp and the JOY of it was that
you could see. In train or automobile,
you just get ready to look and you re
mile past the scene. The locks were
great excitement.
After we were thoroughly rested, we
made little venturesome journeys, adj
vised by our hostess, whom we dubbed
the boat lady. We would alight when
the horses were changed at some con-
venient place, go up into town a little
way, take a trolley car and ride on to
the next stopping place, buy books,
magazines or candy, and in a delicious
frenzy of fear lest we had missed our
boat, hurry back to the sleepy old canal
always in plenty of time to Chamber
aboard, and always so glad to get back
to its cslmness and coziness.

These are busy days at the White
House President Woodrow Wilson
rises early, has breakfast at $3.50 and is
at work at nine. He shaves himself,
and the BARRIERS of Presidents Roose-
welt and Taft are "without occupation.
President Mckinley was able to perform
the operation without a glass in front of
him, while President Wilson uses
glasses upon a glass.
The President is a firm advocate of
the simple life. He seldom remains up
later than eleven O'Clock and even on
the night of his Inauguration it is said
retired, so that the orders are lights
out" at la contrast to the midnight
lights often burning to two or three
o clock in the morning, when President
Taft was in the White House. President
Wilson is an advocate of sleep-he re-
quires, it is said, nine hours, though
Napoleon may have decreed five hours
sufficient and Edison three. The new
President has a fondness for guests at
luncheon, and delights in an old
fashioned visit. He has his dinner hour
at seven sharp, instead of at eight, as
during the previous administration, and
some say he has alluded to the evening
meal oftentimes as supper. Joe

Dear Sir: ~. - =. -. -
In reply to your verbal request

the high school contract as to the
relative responsibilities and pow
ers of yourself and the architect,
we would advise you as follows: p.
1t appears from an examination
of the contract, that the architect
is to act as the superintendent di-
rectly in charge of the work to
be done. 1t is his duty to- see :.
that the specifications are in all
ways fully complied with and IN

may rely upon his certification to
that effect. ....E ~.... - >.:-

[Ry Latest MalIl

LONDON.-''The possession of a
BABY by woman is more valuable
to the state than her ability to dis
play first-class certificate in the
classics or a silver trophy won at
sport. The so-called higher education
OF woman is not good ideal for wom-
an, man or state.
This is the central. idea Of a maya
zine article by Marcus Seymour Penn
bry, lecturer in physiology at Guys
Hospital Medical school. which Is at
tracing attention here. This promin-
emit biologist contends that the old
fashioned view OF woman's place IN
nature is supported by the latest
biological knowledge. He eriticizes
late marriage as bad for the health
and morals Of both sexes and bad for
the state. and describes q tendency
toward these deferred alliances to the
higher education of women and their
employment in posts which can be
filed by men.

value of tie work so done TO be
withheld, however, by yourself
until final completion Of the work
and its acceptance both by the
architect and yourself. Ii is also
provided that the architect shall
decide any dispute arising as TO
the quality or fitness of the ma
terials or Workmanship. Provi-
sion is also made whereby the
power 10 suspend any portion of
the work embraced in a contract
is reserved to yourself, whenever.
in yoHr opinion, it would be mex
pefient TO carry on such work.
-. TIE contract further provides that
final payments shall be made
only upon acceptance of the work
by yourself. There are, il is true,
certain apparent Inconsistencies
between the relative duties of
yourself and the architect, but
these inconsistencies must be con-
sidered and construed with re-
gard to the general responsible
ties and duties laid upon you.
You are charged as a matter of
law with the general superintend-
ence and management of all in
ternal improvements in the terri
tory. Such responsibility you
cannot delegate, nor can you re-
lieye yourself by the employment
of an architect. or any other Off
Ger or agent, from this general
duty to see to it that the internal
improvements in the territory are
made strictly in accordance with
contracts executed for such pur-
poses, and for the general benefit
of the territory. If, therefore, 1t
appears at any time from your
personal examination or otherwise
that the work being done under
the high school contract is not
fully in accordance with the re-
quirements of the specifications,
even though the architect may fail
in his duty to take the necessary
steps to compel proper perform
ance, and even though under the
contract, it might seem that he
is the only officer to so act, yet,
We would advise that you not only
have the necessary power, but
that it is your duty to properly
protect public interests.
1t therefore follows from these
general considerations, as well as
from the fact that no money can
be paid out upon this work except
after your approval, that the ulti-
mate control of this work rests
with you. together with a duty on
your part to compel its faithful
performance.
Very truly yours,
