Decry Educated Woman

One of the misfortunes the little know
of militant outrage-mongers have
brought upon their sex is that they have
helped to revivify the dwindling prejudice
against feminine intellectualism. 1t Is
assumed. quite wrongly, that the wretch
ed creatures who break windows and lay
bombs are highly educated women. and
the reactionary sees his opportunity for a
sermon against the whole tendency of
modern progress.
For instance learned gentleman, de-
scribed as a we'll known biologist and
lecturer at Guys hospital, is just now
uplifting his voice on the old text of
'woman's place in nature and telling
England and the world that they are all
wrong when they try to promote the men
tai and physical efficiency of the one
sex AS well as the other.
The professor exhorts us to go back to
the early Victorian IDEAL the ideal of
babies and housekeeping. mitigated by
woodwork and the use of the globes.
Woman will miss her vocation as wife and
mother IL she goes to college or attends
lectures or attempts to develope her in
tellectual powers. Vassarm Girton and
Newnham are mistake. let girls be
thinking about husbands instead of
mathematics and modern history and
lawn tennis.
The author of these views, DR. NJ. S.
Penbrey of Guys hospital, receives un-
qualified support from number of Lon
don physicians
From the purely physical standpoint .
says Professor Kendall, ''the woman who
has not dissipated her mental energies in
the first years of her adult life by close
and confining study is apt to be greatly
superior to her more learned sister. Ac-
cordfng to the present theory of advanced
education for women, however. just those
years when she is ripening into her prime
must be devoted to close study and COM
petitive examinations. 1t is within the
experience of most physicians that where
a woman is versed in the "oiogies'' or has
the letters of some learned degrees tackled
to her name. her children rarely enjoy
that tender motherly care and close per-
soral supervision which mean so much
for their welfare"
Another physician connected with one
of the great children's hospitals tells
how he was asked by woman COL
league who was engaged In advanced
research work in the meteorological
laboratory to prescribe for her ailing
child. II found that the slight all
ment which had not caused the moth
er the least anxiety was an attack of
scarlet fever" he said. land it had
practically run its course by the time
was called in. If the child had not
had such learned parent but lit
tie more of the ordinary unschooled
mothers care 1t would not have HAD
to undergo the risks of such an attack
unrecognized and intreated."

London, August 9.-Amerieans will soon
be listening to a real live Earl possessing
one of the most famous English titles
talking from the lecture platform.
Lord Lytton intends TO give some lee
tures on Bulwer Lytton and his times.
The first lectures will be delivered in
England and later he will swing the cir
cles of the principal American varsity
cities. The Early of Lytton is, of course,
q grandson of the famous novelist. but
never saw him. as he was not born till
three or four years after Bulwer Lyt-
TOMS death. Lord Lytton. who has come
rather prominently before the public as
an advocate of votes for women, is a
brother of Lady Constance Lytton the
suffrag.st of Lady Betty Balfour, who is
an author herself. and of Lady Emily
Lutyens, the wife of the well known
architect of that name.

Count Zeppelin has tested with one of
the latest pattern Zeppelin dlrgibles the
improved motor presented to him as a
birthday gift by its inventor Maybach,
chief engineer of his factory. The count
says it more than iustlfes Maybach S

1t is the most powerful motor ever de-

30 horse power motors previously used
with the Zeppelin drigibles. Through
this advantage the count hopes to increase

less than 40 per cent while assuring the
greater safety OF long distance voyages.

Succession Out of Direct Line


The succession of the Sacllville barony
will still be out of the direct line, ap-
rarently. The late Lord Sacllville did
not leave a son to succeed him, and the
present Lord Sackville's only child is the
Hon. Victoria Sacl<ville-West. who has
played such a prominent part in the re.

And that is leaving out of account alto
gether Miss Sackville-W Vests own inclina-
tons, rumor having it that she will soon
be engaged to Mr.. Harold Nicholson a
young diplomat of great promise attached
to the Russian embassy at ST Petersburg.
1t is remarkable how the De La Wars,
the Saclvilles and the Vests have inter
mingled in the effort to save their lines
from extinction. First of all, the West
barony became merged with that Of DE
La Wars by marriage. but both lines
fell into allegiance in 1854. The allegiance
was never formally pronounced, however,

Heirs Disannoinied

Certain anxious heirs in the United
States who have been informed by a
firm of attorneys that the estate Of the
great English navigator. Sir Francis
Drake. is ready for distribution will be
disappointed to learn that the most dill
gent search has failed to reveal the
existence of this property.
The American embassy in London has
recently received a number of letters
from people in New York saying that
certain persons representing themselves
as the American attorneys for the claims
to the property of the scourge of the
Spanish maine could be substantiated.
The attorneys demanded a percentage
of the estate and Incidentally a few
dollars in advance to defray the expense
Of collection
An investigation of Somerset House,
where all estate records are kept, does
rot reveal the slightest foundation for
the claims of the New York attorneys
and if Sir Francis left any estate it
was distributed to his heirs several hun
dred years ago.

Strange pranks are ofttimes played

and when the series of encounters that
begun at O'clock ended three hours
later Saxons and Normans crowded
pell nell into the waiting motor omni-

and back they were carried to the
Lyceum theatre to don their arms and
armor before sitting down on the stare
