NEWS OF WOMEN
HERE AND THERE

The question as to whether Nj. Poln-
care. the French president, is believer
in women's enfranchisement or not is at
present being discussed in feminist circles,
according to the standard, M. Poincare
has shown himself to be a friend in the
matter of womens advancement in pro-
fessons, and was one of the most earnest
advocates for their admission to the bar.
He gave still further proof of his femin-
list tendencies by appointing Nine Galtier
a woman advocate, as one of his private
secretaries, a position she is to retain
under his presidency. He has also public
~ stated his belief in universal suffrage,
and in view of his general attitude toward
women feminists are inclined to give him
the benefit of the doubt and accept this

For Busy Housewives

For the benefit of the busy young
housewives I send my formula for
making a variety of cakes: One and
one-half cups of sugar, one-third cup
Hof shortening, two eggs, one-third
teaspoon salt, one cup milk, two and
one-half cups of -FOUR sifted with
two teaspoons of baking powder; fla
yor to taste. Beat to a cream the
sugar, salt shortening and unbeaten
eggs; add milk, lastly the -four stir
well, then beat vigorously for few
minutes, pour into creased pans for
loaf or layer cake. or cocoanut cake
use three fourths cup of cocoanut- For
nut cake, one cup OF nut meats. For
fruit cake, fruit and spices to taste.
BY using one-half cup of cocoa in
place of one-half cup of flour one has
a good dark cake.
Lemon jelly for layer cake; Three
fourths cup of sugar. juice of one
lemon, one beaten egg, one and one
half tablespoons of water. Stir all to-
gether and cook over steam. Spread
when cool between the layers.
Pardon me for sending these re-
-cipes, but during these busy times |
find the old process of cake making
too tedious. N. M. W"

IF NJ. T. and all others who love the
delicate and delicious pecan Will fol-
low this method they will have no
trouble in getting out the meats whole
or in halves. Buy at hardware store
a patent nut cracker with either screw
or lever arm and an attachment Tor
fastening it to the table, and put the
nuts in lengthwise, turning the screw
to crack the nut. All thin shell nuts
will then be easily taken from the
shells. Or take a pair of nut crackers
hinged at the end. with square arms
and with the catching edge of the
cracker break off the sharp end of the
nut Then put the entire nut in the
cracker crosswise and with gentle
pressure crack it equally on all side
In almost every case this will bring
out the meats whole or in halves.
There is a compound leverage nut
cracker like a pair of pliers with an
alligator jaw, which eNerts a grad
uated pressure. but this is rather ex-
pensive. A pair of combination pliers
such as are used by chauffeurs is also
effective IL used as described above

for several years with considerable
success. A PECAN LOVER"

ambiguous statement as including women
as we'll as men.
The number of German women who
seek admission to the universities shows
steady increase year by year, and 32l3
are enrolled for this year as against 2795
for 1912. There are also 1722 outside stu
dents who are allowed by the faculties
to attend special courses. The majority
of women enter classes devoted to phios-
ophy, phlology and history, but with the
recent admission of women to Swiss pas
torships the number of theological stu
dents has also increased. A curious an
tipathy against this influx of women still
exists among the male students, and one
obdurate professor at Berlin university
refuses absolutely to admit women to his
lectures The women students are now
trying to break down this sex barrier and
establish cooperation by securing admis-
sion to the mems clubs and societies in
stead of organizing especial feminine
clubs. Up to the present, however, this
endeavor to introduce a communal social
life has met with but little success.

A young matron who is fond of many
outdoor sports, but partial to golf, was
discussing her pleasure in the game sev-
eral days ago at luncheon at the club
The first year of her residence in Bir-
mingham, she says, her health was ex-
tremely poor and this she attributes sole
ly to the fact that during that time she
lad given up her golf play.
There are a lot of anaemic, listless
women who do not know what is the mat
ter with them that might be restored to
health and intellectual vigor If they would
get out on the good green grass. use the
muscles they have and develop them.
Golf is largely played by men in this
vicinity, but the women players are in
creasing. Every woman, according to the
best informed people. who.~g goes to the
golf links means that some physician is
going to lose paying patient.
