The cubists Explain Themselves.

Chicago Inter Ocean: In order to
converse intelligently nowadays you
must know at least something about
the cubists, the post-ir' DressiOnists
and the futurists. Naturally, there are
many sources of information. but the
most authentic Is that derived from
the fountain head-the authorized
description of the cult. .4a
It is obtainable in book form and is
the product Of the first cubist writer
in the world, Gertrude Stein of Paris
This authority says:
There is all there Is when there
has all there has where there is what
there is. That is what is done when
there is done what is done and the
union is won and that division is the
explicit visit"
Neatly put, is it not? Nothing like
consulting a real authority. Here is
some more, just as clear:
There Is that desire and there is
no pleasure and the place Is filing the
one space that is placed where all the
piling is not adjoining. There is not
that distraction.
"A wall that is not stepped where
the floor is covered is not the place
where the room is entered The
whole on is the same There is
not any stone. There is the wide door
that is narrow on the floor There is
all that place"
With this clear explanation Of the
new cult you can readily see why q
picture Of an explosion in shingle
mill is labeled Nude Descending a
Staircase also why the police cen
sor will never have word to say.

Tariff Making In 1897 and 1913.

New York Herald: In his proclama-
ton calling for an extra session OF
congress President Wilson has fol-
lowed almost verbatim the similar
proclamation Of President Mckinley
in 1897 Congress is called together
now, as it was then. "to receive such
communications as shall be made by
the executive"
With the exception Of passage OF
annual appropriation bills left over
from the last congress the work OF
the extra session will be confined to
tariff legislation. That, at least, Is the
present program.
Sixteen years ago republican con.
gress was called upon to enact a tar
if law to restore the prosperity that
had been so successfully dispelled by
four years of democratic rule. Pros.
perity came and has lasted. Now the
democrats are to have another try
at tariff making.
What will come of it? We must wait
and see.

workers Underground.

According to the best obtainable sta
tistics, says Popular Mechanics, at least
1000 persons In New York spend their
entire working hours under ground.
These figures include the $500 employees
on the two subway systems now in op-
GRAFTON in that city. They also include
the 1000 men employed digging the new
subways and 100 men working several
hundred feet below the earth's surface
driving the aqueduct which is TO carry
through the Island Of Manhattan and
over into Long Island the waters that
are being brought down from the Catskill
Mountains.
Then there are more than 1000 men
and women who are employed In more
private enterprises that take them con-
stantly below the street surface. On quite
ordinary days l,5ooO 900 persons are ac-"n-
modated in New York subways and the
crowds are multiplying week by week.
In the great hotels OF New York the
mechanical departments are all far be-
meath the street surface. These kitchens.
bake shops. furnace rooms, engine rooms,
and laundries ordinarily are the cleanest
in the entire hotel.
Many OF New York's greatest depart
ment stores are connected directly with
the subways, as are also some Of its
newer theaters.
Last February a family of three from
San Francisco. visiting in New York,
lived for a fortnight in one of the most
fashionable and expensive hotels In the
city, spent most of their time shopping,
sightseeing, and theater-going, and only
once during the entire fourteen days
passed into the open air of the outside
world. From their rooms in the hotel
they were dropped by elevator to the
level OF the subway. Through the SUBJ
way they went to department stores,
theaters. and restaurants.
When they started for home they went
by subway from their hotel to the Grand
Central Station, and did not get out into
the sunlight until their train had well
started on its long journey. And this
was not on a bet. either.

When Dean Swift thus ventured to
versify on the subject Of science he
probably didn't look far enough ahead
to see the wonderful extent to which
micro-organisms would be utilized in
farming and fruit growing. The latest
instance is an attempt to save the orange
industry from the citrus white fly by
importing from the Orient a species of
ladybug which esteems the young of that
pest as the tenderest morsel in the die
tary. The fly has caused millions Of dol
lars loss to the growers In Florida and
the Gulf States. and California is alarm
ed lest II spread to the magnificent
groves OF the Pacific region. Spraying
experiments having failed, a search was
conducted In Southern Europe and in
parts of Asia, where the orange and
lemon flourish. In China and India the
groves were found to be infested with
the fiy, but II was kept in check by the
ladybug and a species Of internal para
site which keep up a ceaseless attack on
the pest. These tiny devourers are TO be

Superior to Tagals.

The wild people are not only one of
speaking-they average a head taller
than the relatively feeble Tagals-but
they are exceedingly bright and clever.
Whatever the Americans have had to
teach them they have picked up with
utmost rapidity. But it must be remem-
bered that they are savages still. The
progress Of thousands of years cannot
be compressed into q decade or a gener-
alton.
The chief thing the Americans have
done for them is to teach them indus
try They have learned to make roads,
and bridges. to build modern houses of
brick and stone, and TO practice a va
riety OF handicrafts from carpentry to
weaving. All very valuable, but the up
lift cannot go on unless the agencies
which have brought IL about continue In
control. The wild people, in other words,
are not yet In a position to take care Of
themselves and to attend to the busi-
ness of extending and promoting their

AIRMEN WIN
ITALIAN LADIES

MILAN, Feb. 22-The airman,
Bielovucic, by his flight across the
Alps captured the hearts of the fair
sex in Italy. The fact was demon

other day. The rumor had gone round
that Bielovucic was to visit the UNI
berto gallery, and crowds gathered
outside to gain a sight Of him.
Suddenly cheering was heard, and a
motor car drew up, out of which step
ped young man and lady. Imme-
diately another lady rushed out from
the crowd, and before any one could
say her nay she had given the young
man two ardent kisses, saying: From
the ladies of Milan to the famous Bic
lovucic."
The crowd laughed, but the lady who

woman doctors disfavor, but other
suggestions of somewhat similar tend
ency were also thought to be just as
much to the point
One reason was given with much
emphasis: that the majority of women
were much older than the average doc
tor, and that, although a woman might
consent to consult comparatively
young doctor of the other sex when
persuaded of his cleverness, she had
generally a reserve OF pride that dis
suaded her against appearing to admit
and to be in some degree dependent
upon the superiority of a younger
woman.
The question is one OF some import
ance in Berlin, where there are prob
ably more women doctors in practice
than in any other European capital.

GERMANS ARE WORRIED
OVER WOMEN AND STATE

but, on the whole, the idea survived,
as is proved by the fact that at present
more than one organization is trying
to establish something like voluntary
national service. The idea, for wide
ly different reasons, has appealed to
Germans.
! Militarists like the suggestion of
stiff discipline. Peace enthusiasts
imagine that an army of women busy
in useful work would be standing

claim that if women are compulsorily
grounded in domesticity they will for
swear the vote and other male vani--
ties. Ingenious calculations have been
made to prove that barracks full Of

Three Colonies Formed.
! The conservative Deutsche Tages-
zeitung combats the proposal on q
more serious ground. In any kind Of
mass women's training it sees the
germ of a universal female demorali-
cation. "The woman, when in asso-
citation with other women, loses all her
good qualities. Women in the mass
are frightful," it says.
A third objection is that if national
service were enforced on women, the
state would not stop at the program of
teaching sewing, cookery and care of
infants; that it would have to teach
law and medicine to the intellectually
superior conscripts, and that in the
end the number of women competent
in sewing, cooking and rearing child
rem would be even smaller than it is
today.
AS there is no immediate prospect
of the state taking action, modest At
tempts at voluntary service for women
are being made by private organiza-
lions. The Union for Women's Eco
nomic Schools is starting three wom-
ems service places (Frauendenst-
plaetze), where girls will be taught
agriculture, gardening, nursing and
other occupations. One is at A.
second at Pima in Saxr.y,
and the third in Bavaria. If these in
situations, which are to be barracks
with land attached, succeed, then wom-
ems service places will be started all
over Germany. The funds are to be
through public subscriptions.
A patriotic society proposes to start
somewhat similar institutions in Po-
zen. Here the girls are to be ira Il
n German patriotic and colonizing
work." They are to engage themselves
o serve year.
