upon women that it is their duty to
rear future presidents of the United

or five men what he calls an open

the club house belonged to that open
table and the women are puzzled and
furious. l have been saying to them,
The reason the women don't get to-

Women could enjoy life so much

Can that be learned?"
Eyes, by self-training. Every wo-
man can shame herself out of tbs
cave woman idea that every other wo-

the man she might care for. This is

which makes them see in every other

ourselves to think of every woman as
woman, a creature with tenderness
and sympathy, and fitness or sensi

possess or ever will possess We should
think of every woman we meet as
having some of the qualities that
make our mothers the most beautiful

ourselves too seriously. Why do men
set on so we'll together? Because
they are not weighted down with self
reverence. Have you ever heard men
who are good friends call each other
names? In a discussion one will say
You insufferable idiot, can't you see
this?' Or Listen to that dub's opin-

their arms about each others Shout
ders, unashamed, and go out together
for drink or a smoke If women
talked to each other so frankly there
would be tears, maybe hair pulling.
And they're ashamed to admit that
they are such good friends as they
are. They think is is 'musy' or silly
to have a genuine sisterly affection
for another woman.
"The first year of my widowhood a

HumOr to Help

But have great hope in the grow
ing sense of humor in women. They
are gradually learning to take them
selves more humorously, feeling as
men do, that hey and their problems
are more or dess of a joke, and they
are gradually developing the ability
to laugh, or at least to smile, at them.
Formerly every woman was a more
or less developed tragedienne, in her
own affairs. Now she is developing
comedy gifts. Women are welcoming
the advent of a sense of humor in
women. Every man will gladly do
everything he can to develop it in a
woman if she shows a spark of it in
her.

FoRETELLING THE WEATHER.

As scientific methods of work grow
general, many traditional and print
tive arts, roughly successful in their
own way, disappear. Reflection along
this line was prompted on reading a
dispatch sent out from Central Park,
New York The menagerie keepers,
it appears, predict cold winter, be
cause the squirrels are buildinr nests
month earlier than usual
Can weather be predicted
serving the ways of animals? Al. tna
old people thought so. Stockmen say
cattle are restless some hours before
man can see signs Of storm. Chick
ems oil their feathers before rain. II
an owl boots in a hollow. it means a
cold storm. II he cries On the hill
it portends warmer weather If hor-
nets build low, winter will be cold
And SO on
Scientific research seems to be
against the bulk of this lore. Profes-
sor Lindlmayer, of the University OF
Prague's zoology department, recent
ly studied the familiar sign by which
the low fight of swallows is supposed
to indicate storm. He concluded that
the swallows flight was not directly
due to atmospheric conditions, but
that they followed the insects. Otter
he found these insects high UP before
storm, the swallows following them.
The oid-timers watched weather in
dications sharply. But the one tins
when a sign was verified was remem
bered, while the dozen times it fail
ed were forgotten. They We're re
markedly accurate in their deduc
items from cloud movements. To thu

Approximately one third of the A.,
coo secondary schools in the United

which was complied by DR.. Kendric c.

to school and college officers in ad-
mitting students from other states to

The bureau list has been made up
chiefly from the various certifcation
lists maintained by the stltes, but
where the state officials print lists
OF high schools of different grades,
only the schools of first rank are in.
Guided. The general principles Of
selection are that the school shall
offer the IA or Is points" necessary
for admission to a standard college
or university, each point representing
a subject studied for a year; that the
curriculum represents four years of
thirty-six or more weeks each; that at
least three teachers give their whole
time to high school work; that courses
Of science include satisfactory labora
tory work and that the school keeps
up an adequate library and labora-
tory equipment
Both public and private secondary
schools are represented on the list,
names Of private schools being print
ed In italics to distinguish them from
the others. Great care has been
taken to see that the names and adj
dresses are accurate, but warning is
given that lists such as these are
bound to be out of date In a short
! time, and credentials of earlier years
from many of the schools listed
should be received with caution" In
