HUERTA, Between
TWO FIRES, TO QUIT
Ell PaSO Hears the Story of
Retirement

FL Paso. Tex, April 4.-To satisfy
all factions in the Mexican melee,
General Huerta has agreed to the
naming of Pedro Lascurian as provis-
ional president, said advices here to-
day directly from the national capital
Lascurian would serve out the I'M
completed term of the late President
Madero.
AS minister of exterior relations in
Madero's former cabinet, Lascurian is
entitled to serve as next in line, In
view of the deaths of Madero and
Vice President Suarez. The Huerta
cabinet would be retained by the COM
promise.
This arrangement, it is said, has
been offered to the constitutionalists
now fighting the Huerta government
in Northern Mexico. 1t is declared
that Governor Carranza, of Coahuila,
has agreed and that the Sonora insur-
rectionists will fall in line The de-
cision of the present provisional pres
'ident is said to have been occasioned
by the recent uprising of zapata II
the south, which places the Huerta
forces between two fires.
Mexican military men here estimate
that Huerta has not more than $4,000
troops in all Mexico with which to
meet the situation. This is even less
than Porfiro Diaz possessed in COM
batting the Madero revolution. Madero.
or taking Office, began recruiting vol
unteer troops with the ex-insurrecto
corps as basis In the meantime the
regular army was not recruited to no"
NAL strength. The desertion to the
opposing side of the majority of the
volunteer groups has left the actual
government forces far below par

The striking thing about the woman
movement among the French women
is the breadth and scope of their de
mand. 1t is not the vote primarily
they are concentrated on. That is in
the near future. Their ideas and hopes
penetrate much further. 1t is for d
moral and social reorganization. They
desire to free womanhood. To give
woman equality of opportunity in ev-
cry branch of life, that she may bring
the best of herself to the aid of the
race, and to a new social order.
One of the most interesting as well
as conspicuous workers in the Ma
tional Council of French Women,
whose work embodies these ideals, is
Nine Leonie Camusat Rousade. She
represents the working class. Her
father was a matchmaker, and his re-
publican ideas led him to give his
daughter a liberal education. After
her marriage with Auguste Rousad6,
encouraged by him, Nine. Rousade
threw herself with great enthusiasm
into the study Of social problems. She
was member of that celebrated fem
mime congress arranged in 1878 Dy
Marie Deraisme, and in 1881 she ran
as municipal candidate for the Twelfth
ACCOMPLISHMENT, Paris. No woman has
been yet elected to such an office, but
it is part of the principle of the
French suffragists, while working for
the vote, to put up woman candidate
at each parliamentary election.
In all of this work, Nine Rousade
has been most active. She has lectured
and she has studied, and she has writ
e ten. And now, at the age of seventy
4 I'VE, she is dreaming of the Utopia

A Public Library.


But above all his other discoveries
Professor Vale puts that of a great
library which he has found in Cara
calais baths. This, he believes, CON
tanned many of the missing treasures
Of the famous library of Alexandria,
brought to Rome by the order of the
emperor himself after his suppression
OF rebellion in Egypt 1t is the first
time that archaeologists have uneartE,
ed public library of ancient Rome.
1t gives a new idea of the Importance
of the great thermae in the life of the
imperial ages. The arrangements for
the bathers were en- the most sump-
tuous scale, but, in addition, the great
buildings served as club houses, plac-
es of public assembly. Tammany halls
for political plotters, conversation
rooms, art galleries, and even librar-
les.
Not less astonishing and interesting
are the evidences Of engineering skill
that Professor Wales excavations
have disclosed. Immense galleries
extended under the building, which
measured a thousand feet in one direc-
ton and nearly 400 in the other, AMI
the total length of these underground
passages was over two miles. You
will read, with interest, the discov,
erer's suggestion as to the uses to
which these passages were put.
The arrangement for supplying and
disposing of the water, for Lighting
the enormous structure, whose solid
walls were $50 feet in height, and for
ventilation, are such as the most skill
tul of modern engineers and builders

A MODERN UTOPIA
DAWNING FOR WOMEN

that shall come some day Her books,
The World Overturned" THE Voy-
age of Theodore to the Island OF
Utopia" are the fruit of many years
of labor and of study. The last book,
La Femme ct LIE Peuple," set forth
her social ideals. In the last chapters
she gives in the form of a catechism
questions and answers, the new world
that is coming; a new order that We
are unknowingly moving toward, a
utopia beyond the widest dreams OF
Sir Thomas More.
AS steps to this new world, Nine
Rousade demands the education of all
children, poor as we'll as rich, and
equality of opportunity. For this the
over-rich will pay. She asks law
that will guarantee every individual
man and woman means to be we'll
lodged, nourished and clothed. Labor
and leisure for all. Idleness for none.
AS women need everything that men
need they must have the same right
to everything, she says. They are in
complete without each other. A differ
ence, not inequality, does not mean
that the same free chance for develop
ment should not be granted to each.
Marriage, she would have a volun-
tary union. And would give to the I'M
married mother rights and recogni-
ton.
Above all, no one should be so driy-
en- by labor that they should not have
leisure to grow and to be beautiful.
All these things and many more are
in the lines of humanity's progress.
They will prepare us for day." says
Nine. Rousade, when We shall look
for the gods, and behold, we will see
they are ourselves"

HOW CLOTHES TELL
WHAT We ARE LIKE
Gloves, Hat and Shoes Tell
of Vanity

In an article on "a Girl and Her
Clothes" published in the March Wo-
mans Home Companion, appears the
following:
You may not speak word to me,
but the manner and line of you, the
gentle or brusque, gracious or awk-
ward little tricks of body, the way
you walk, the hat you wear, the
clothes, the gloves, the color and fash
ion of them, the manner of wearing
them-all these, along with the look
in your eyes are expressing you and
are saying to me, She belongs to this
class, or that She is this manner o.
person or that See, she is careless.
See, she is tired and worn, She is a
person of good judgment or .whimsi-
cal.' dependable; person of lovei-
ness ;'unloveliness, of TASTE or lack
of taste Don't you understand what
we are saying to your Read us! Read
us! AS plain as day.
Whether we realize it or not, we are
perpetually expressing ourselves, and
our clothes speak for us-condemn us
or recommend us, praise us or blame
us-as plainly as though they spoke
with voices like our own. l have seen
girls apply to business houses, seeking
positions, and | have seen them refus-
ed good positions and they never
guessed the reason. Some of them
brought with them reasonably good let
tiers of recommendation, saying, per-
haps, that they were capable, willing
But of what avail was all that when
ell the while huge masses of yellow

chosen and designed, were saying as
plan as could be, She has no judg-
ment' She does not know true val
ues.' She is frivolous Could youI
trust a girl to be careful of your &C
counts who is evidently careless Of

Then the kindheartedness of, the

When you read the name of the En-
per or Caracalla you recall, with .
shudder, the long. series of cruelties,
murders and denominations that history
has associated with him. Says the
great historian, Gibbon: "Caracalla
was the common enemy of mankind!"
If Gibbon could read in the March
Cosmopolitan, the story of the discoy-
cries recently mbde in Rome by Pro-
fessor Alessio, Vale he might modify
his opinion of Caracalla. At the very
least he would be compelled to admit
that the empero. whom he helped to
cover with infamy in the eyes of the
modern world had another and a ry
unexpected, side to his nature, side
which everybody must admire, IN
spite of the brutal and criminal in
stincts with which it was joined
We all know that CaracalIa erected
in Rome an enormous bath palace,
now called the Thermae of Caricalla.
whose gigantic ruins constitute one OF
the sights of the Eternal City. Two or
three of his successors extended AMI
embellished the work, but to Caracal!a
belongs the honor of having conceived
it, started it and filled it with some of
the greatest works of art that the
world contained.
Their Great Beauty.
Some of these masterpieces weee
discovered in the ruins of the baths
many years ago, and they now adorn
great museums, but Professor Vale
has dug deeper and found that the sub
soil of the immense edifice is rich in
precious marbles, the possession Of
any one of which would establish the
fame of modern museum. The ex-
ceeding beauty of these sculptures
may be judged from the photographs
that accompany Professor Valle's ar
ticle. Such store-house, large part
of which has been buried and forgot
ten for centuries, furnishes a partial
explanation of the disappearance of
tie thousands of precious works CT
