A little book of twenty-five pages
has been written by ]. o. Davidson,
called THE Man Inside" There are
five chapters on the following sub
jects: Eugenics, dietetics, gymnastics
athletics and dynamics. The aim of
the book is not so much to discuss the
Importance of these four subjects in
physical life, as it is to show the re-
latiOn of each to Christian life. The
author aims to persuade one to look
at religion from a different view
point. He uses mans physical make
up to illustrate what his moral make
up should be. He compares our food
or our method of eating and digest
ing food, to the spiritual food, and
so through the other three subjects
he gives a clear and helpful discourse.
The book is a series of addresses
which the author gave at chautau-
qua meetings, and as the preface says,
is meant to be suggestive rather than
exhaustive.
THAT some may be helped to new
viewpoint of life is the purpose of
this book" says Mr.. Davidson. Den-

sourian will in the same broad-minded
way allow itself to be corrected re-
garding Professor Weiner tissue of
March So Professor Weiner is a Jew.
His familiarity with the Jewish liter
ature is attested in his book on that
subject in the library.
The incongruity of calling Professor
Weiner a Russo-German is dOubly
heightened when one adds mentally to
Russian persecution the frank and
fierce anti-Semitism of the German
nation. To illustrate the latter: If
Professor Weiner would occupy in a
German University the position he
holds in Harvard, he could do so only
through conversion. Further, l need
hardly recall the plans for extermina-
ton or assimilation of Jews invented
almost monthly. One of the recent
ones is precisely that of the ancient
Pharaoh. The cause of the great un-
rest is frankly confessed fear of the
Jews superiority, especially in that it
may disturb the newly acquired ma
tional solidarity The cultured Ger
man seems to forget that the most in
tensely representative German poet
was Heine, the Jew, and that the Jew,
Lasker, was in his time the most eff
fective agent in exposing political
corruption. OF Russia no mention is
needed. She is still in the deep-sea
stage of life.
1t would do both of these nations
good to realize how some of the
worlds figures most intensely typi-
cal of their respective nationalities
have been Jews. need hardly men,
ton Gambetta or Cremieux, or Dis
raeli. In our own country We ought
not to forget Haym Solomon who
financed the Revolution, Benjamin
Judah, the secretary of the Confed-
eracy, or Louis Brandeis, who fights
trusts. The Jew may here we'll thank
God for his treatment as a human be-
ing. Thanking you, A JEW.

CONVERSATIONS OF AGE.

Age opens a finer vision. BY un-
folding life's complexities, it gives
boldness and encourages an adven-
turous spirit; and by the same process
of widening the view, age causes men
TO concentrate their endeavors on the
particular business, their admiration
on the particular delights of today
while it is called today. The young
man lives in the future which he iden-
tifes with the present by forgetting
the past"
Thus a contemporary writer philos-
ophizes upon the compensations of age.
His is the aversion to the view of life
that is passing. With age man becomes
broader, or at least should do so. and
his field OF vision widens. Each sue
ceeding year adds to a mans free
dom from the tyranny of impossible
standards.
The fallacy of measuring life by
seasons. of believing that as man ages
he must decline in strength and power,
and that the compensations of living
diminish with swift ratio as time
wears on, is the cause of much that is
evil.
The proper conception would rev.
olutionize the thought of mankind
Man should expand as the days go by.
He should grow in greatness-not de-
cline into palsy. His mental powers
should be enhanced-not diminished.
And then he should live more than
the allotted period and enjoy life's
activities TO the fullest. Old age
should not stand for gout and decrepi-
tude, but for an enlarged understand
ing and a full measure OF health.
This is The new idea. This thought
will make Gle men younger and young
men more youthful.

Socialism Summed Up.

Those who say it is hard to crit
icise socialism because it is impossi-
BILE to find out what socialism is, now
will have chance to criticise Nor
ris Hillquit has just issued a little
book dealing with socialism, which
sets out its value in a clear and force
full manner. Mr.. Hillquit's idea of
conservation of resources is to pro-
tect the lives and well-being of the
workers of society.
The book tells why socialism hap
pened to be, the aims of the socialists,
the trend of social development, their
political program and their accom-
plishments. The book also gives a
history of the socialistic movement in
the United States. Oh. X. Fly Co.,

and a tenacious one at that. The
central figure, Mrs. Pitman, a kind
hearted widow, has found it necessary,
after passing her prime, to keep a
cheap boarding house in the overflow
section of the city. Theatrical people
are wont to stop at her house. The
Ladleys, who came to her home, fol-
lowed the stage, and lived inharmon-
iously. Mrs. Ladley was known at
the theaters as Jennie Brice. Mr..
Howell, a young newspaper man, Mr..
Ladley, and a theater manager, for
the purpose of aiding their several
callings, plan mock tragedy.
Jennie Brice is to figure as the VIC
tim. But the psychological effect of
the plans and the basis of reality in
it all overcomes the dissipated Lad
ley. He commits a real murder. An
old scar of his wife's breast proves
her identity and convicts Ladley.

AS 1t Might Be in Columbia if All Were
Up-to-Date--Watchf for the Brilliant
Bulgarian Hues.
bulgarian HueS.

1t is Easter morning, 1913. The
first church bells have just rung and
the Easter parade has started its
march. Everybody is going to church
today-girls who danced until mid
night, professors who sat up grading
papers, housewives who neglected Sun
day dinner for once-yes, everybody,
save perhaps a few who had no new
Easter frills to wear.
How like real parade it looks with
all its fashy colors! Turkish red,
burnt orange, bright green, all the
rich Oriental hues, mixed in startling
combinations, make the crowds look
like Bulgarian army. Everything in
styles this spring must be Bulgarian,
the colors, the make of the coats, the
draperies, for what is the good of the
Balkan War if it cannot start new
fashions?
No, the woman at the head of the
procession is not the leader of the
German band. She is only wearing
her new spring hat, which has feath-
er standing up in front foot higher
than the crown. Some women have
these at the backs of their hats, others
at the sides. See, the feather curls
to form a question mark so these are
called "question-mark hats" There is
a woman wearing a boat" hat which
has the PROV sitting right out over her
nose. Those square-shaped hats of
checkered straw are called log cab
ins."
The Hats Are Really Smaller!
What are the men behind smiling
about? Why, because the womens
hats are really much smaller this year,
so small that the hair has to be
dressed low and tight to the head to
get them on. The brims are narrow
and rolling, and the crowns are low.
Of course, they all have high trim
ming, a feather, a peak of flowers,
Dr. a tall slender bow, but the men
IAN peep around these.
But here comes a girl walking alone.
She is wearing her last years skirt,
which is two yards wide at the bot
ON, while this year the widest are
,nly yard and half, and the me-
lium ones yard and a quarter. How
,ver, in the dresses they do not look /
narrow, for these have drapery at the |
op to give the effect of width. That
S why the women look as if they
we're wearing barrels.
Checks and stripes in both mems /

lizzy. The latter are mostly in grays .
md mixed colors, and are very plain /
With short cutaway coats and perhaps |
few fastened down plaits. The coats
With the peplums fastened on like
prons are Russian effects, and those
which look like sacks tied in the mid
lie are Bulgarian coats.
But who are these women marching
long by themselves? Oh, they rep

VACATIONS FOR COLLEGE MEN.

The Navy Department recently made
an offer to a number of institutions of
learning which should appeal to col
lege men.
The offer is to take limited number
of college students for training on
board the battleships of the North
Atlantic feet during the coming sum-
mer. The cruise will last about two
months, during which time the STU
dents will be taught the duties Of
naval service About twenty students
will be assigned to each battleship,
and they will be grouped in con-
genial parties Those who pass a
physical examination and who have
completed at least two years of their
college course will be eligible.
This plan was devised by George
Won l.. Meyer, former secretary of the
navy. The wisdom of this new depar-
ture in the governmental service
seems evident. The plan will not only
afford the college men pleasant and
useful vacations but it will in time
train n naval reSarva foroa tbot NOV
some day be of incalculable value TO
the country.

! No, they haven't borrowed their broth
ers' mackinaws, they are wearing tn,
new seashore coats which come in
/ bright red, yellow or blue plaids
These are about thirty inches Ions
and are worn with white or colOred
skirts or thin dresses. The senior
girls have on coats shaped like these
but more sedate looking, being made
of covert. The girl in the bright red
flannel coat and white serge skirt is
a freshman. The fat girls at the back
are smiling because the skirts are
much longer this spring, only two
inches off the ground.
But look at the women's shoes.
More white ones than ever this year,
and all in a mannish style with low
heels and receding toes. But the laces
are the queer part, being circular like
small ropes. Many Of the girls are
using real leather shOe-strings.
Next comes the mems brigade in
flashy attire. Stripes again, and
checks, and Scotch effects in rough
goods are predominant Browns in
solid colors. browns in mixed effects,
even browns with red are ruling colors
Such a gay procession, some think it
is real circus.
Here come the clowns" pipes up a
small boy.
He only sees some sophomores
dressed in extreme stripes. They are
wearing the bright red and black and
blue and white striped Norfolk caps,
and have on new lavender ties. Too
bad bright colored hose are not fash
ionable this spring.

so the University boys have adopt
ed a uniform this year." says an old
man on the street corner. He thinks
that, because so many are wearing
Norfolk suits and coats. But if he
looks closer he will see the older men
have them on, too, for they make
everybody look young.
But the parade moves on Here
come some men carrying canes and
wearing English model three-button
walking coats with long lapels and
high cut vests. Some of the more dar-
ing ones have on soft green hats with
a bow i'm the back but most of them
are wearing high crown derbies with
narrow brims.
Surely the parade is not over now.
Where are the urchins that always
follow up the last circus wagon?
Here they come. They are the ones |
who are going to church without |

There is the girl who sat up late last |
