Old and New Fashioned Girl

Edward 5. Martin IN Harper'S Mag
azine: We keep hearing that the
world has changed so much, is chang
ing so fast, and especially for girls.
People wonder whether anywhere
there are backwaters where children
are being brought up as they used to
be. The suggestion is abroad-very
disquieting to good many people
that everywhere the world, includ
ing the institutions and the human
beings, is about to be different from
what it has been, and that the change
is now in full course and going fast.
Old fashioned people are getting rat
tied and begin to inspect one another
with the kind of attention that one
pays to menagerie animals, as eX-
amples of species about to become
/ extinct.
Still for the moment it is permitted
to depreciate these anxieties. Things
I do move, TO be sure, but there are
still considerations that may keep up
hope in folks who have agreeable
memories of the world as it lately was
and prefer that it should not do a
lightning change into brand new
place peopled with complete strangers.
| We hear of the great change in chill
dren, how differently nowadays they
are taught, clothed, trained by meth
DDS unfamiliar to most Of their elders
to ends that seem hypothetical and
untried And especially the girls. We
are constantly invited TO predict what
the girls are going to be and do
and what is going TO happen to the
world in consequence. The old fash
ioned girls got married and--well--

ioned girls that are just about to

Rresd in Other Lands

Forest and Stream: Every nation
has bread that is typically its own.
In one oat flour is used, in another
wheat or rice or cassava, and the
shape varies from the disk-like Scan
dinavian hardtack that has hole at
the center for convenience in racking
them away on poss in the farm
houses to our own plump brown
loaves that come out of the oven IL
the well known form. The odd shapes
of some of these foreign breads and
the strange uses to which they are
thereby adapted have been described
by L. Lodian.
The bread of the Balkans, curiously
made in the form of chains, is sold
from the arms and necks of itinerant
peddlers. In tent life in Balkania the
detached links are often used for fun
at quoits, or serve a more useful pur-
pose in suspending temporary cur
tains and awnings. Then when the
campers run out of provisions they
literally eat their curtain rings! The
japanese bamboo bread, so named
from it's shape, is somewhat sim
liar product. 1t is sliced and sold
in strings.
The sun dried bread sheeting OF
Central Asia looks much like chamois
leather and is made up in pieces Of
bed sheet size 1t is compounded
from flour and raisin syrup and is
highly esteemed by coffee drinkers.
In the bazaars of the califates it is
frequently seen hanging in place of
awnings to shield the stalls from th''
sun.
One of the strangest of crackers
comes from Russia. 1t is known as
fit-the-mouth begi, and besides bein;,
much appreciated as tea biscuit is
quite commonly used by merchants
ignorant of the three RS as a make
shift abacus in counting money
lower string of ten serving for CO
pecks and an upper string of the
same number representing rubles.
More picturesque still is its usage as
an extempore ring for marrying poor
peasants with whom the gold ring is
lacking.
Most singular of all, however, is
the peculiar pith bread of China,
which instead of being baked is laun
dered out in narrow strips with hot
iron much in the manner that a col
lar receives its finishing. 1t is made
from the central tissue of the fatsia
trees, and is valued highly by tht citi-
zens of the "flowery republic" as a
dainty cracker to eat with their littlc
cups of watery, unsweetened tea.

has laid out large job for itself in
social situation, with special reference
to the question of private ownership
and the method of distribution of
wealth. 1t would seem at first sight
as though the work of the Civic Fed
Grafton might better be directed to
the solution of some of the pressing
minor problems. For instance, in con-
nection with modern methods of doing
business-in food supplies, one of the
most necessary things to ascertain is
the effect Of natural or induced scare
ity upon prices.

sufficient subndssiveness for them to
marry? And when they are done,
will wary young men dare to love
them?
Of course, If the girls are going
to be different, it's a serious thing,
unless the boys and all the rest of
creation are nicely adjusted to the
change in them. Either sufficient
proportion of the girls must match
the rest of the terrestrial institution,
or the institution must match the
girls. Otherwise things can't 60 on.

For example, eggs placed in cold
storage in very large quantities in all
probability command disproportion
ately high prices when dribbled out in
time of scarcity; the higher prices arc
not compensated for by lowered rates
in time of plenty. If they were so
compensated, the cold storage game
would hardly be worth the candle as
a commercial proposition, and certain
ly nobobdy supposes that it is played
for fun.
Why is it that apples may sell in
a city market at So by the barrel

enough at the source, within 100 or
$50 miles of the city, to pay for pick
ing and barreling, so that thousands
of barrels rot on the ground? A little
time, too, might be spent in the in
vestigation of the economic reason for
throwing into the sea shipload Of
tropical fruit lest its advent should
break prices.
These minor things are far easier
to investigate than the great funda-
mental matters which lie behind the
sources of wealth, and the remedies
found could be far more easily

A Forgotten White House Bride

New York Evening Sun: The oc-
casion of VIE presidents daughter
wedding has brought to light story
which may not be greatly "impor-
tant,' even if true, but is decidedly
interesting.
Mrs. Elizabeth Chandler, 72 years
old, the widow of the late James II.
Chandler of Anderson, Ind, declares
that she was married in the White
House, and that therefore Miss Will
sons wedding was the fourteenth
wedding under that roof, though of
couse only The thirteenth official
event of that kind. Mrs. Chandler re-
lates that in 1862 she was living in
Augusta, Va, and eloped with Mr..
Chandler, going to Washington to be
married. On arriving in the capital
the young couple became bewildered
and called at the White House. Presi-
dent Lincoln sent for Baptist min
lister, who married them, and the
proof is on file in the pension depart
ment, according to Mrs. Chandler.
Since the day was stormy and well
advanced, President Lincoln invited
the couple to stay over night, which
they did, going to Harper's Ferry the
next day after breakfast.
Surely an interesting story and well
out of the common. It's authenticity
should be readily established or dis
proved. A pleasant picture is sug-
gested of the boy and girl from the
country, embarrassed among the sur
roundings of the city, fleeing to the
president for help; his friendly in
terest and kindly hospitality turned
the storm into sunshine for them and
they accepted his courtesy unaffect-
edly, as though there were no social
distinctions in the world; they knew
none, and President Lincoln looked
as high over the top of such things
as they did themselves.

Tubercular School Children.

No substantial claim of faddism can be
directed against a requisition on behalf
Of the District of Columbia for appropria-
tions to establish a special school for the
instruction of children afflicted with tu-
berculosis. This measure. proposed by
experts representing the Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis, to the board
Of education committee on ways and
means. Is designed to protect the health
Of the majority. That children suffering
from this disease in its incipient stages,
when II is communicable. are attending
the public schools of this city, is a fact
that is virtually established. To permit
these children to continue to mingle daily
and intimately with others is to expose
thousands to infection. 1t may seem
harsh to segregate tubercular children in
particular institution. but far more
harsh is the danger of permitting them to
associate with and to endanger the lives
of the majority.
In addition to the special school for
tubercular children 1t is proposed to es-
tablish a corps of nurses for the schools
to maintain a regular system of inspec-
ton for the purpose of detecting traces OF
ciated feature of any attempt to segre-
gate the tubercular from the well. The
present system Of medical inspection in
the schools is inadequate through lack OF
means and does not provide a trust
worthy defense against infection.
To oppose such a measure of precautior
in the interest OF the public health WOULD
be to deny the District a just means OF
self-protection. 1t is not to be believed
that the House and Senate, IL the matter
is submitted in the work of estimates
will refuse to grant the funds necessar,
for this new feature of the District edu
cational system. Congress Is not indiffer
ent to the public health. but on the con
trary when means are available has beer
always liberal In providing properly TO
me0guree of offense against disease. TIL,

The President il is stated has an anti

But a bill going into the details OF a

That shows precisely what the President
wants. and while open. OF course. to

to secure mis- signature.
Presumably this trust bill will reflect
somewhat the views OF the Attorney Cen

1nere are many lawyers in both the
House and the Senate, and somehow the
trust question from its incipiency has APP
pealed strongly to legislators of legal
training. They have shown a greater
partiality for it than for either the tariff
or the currency question.
This suggests that the democratic lead
ers may not be so yielding on trusts as
they have been on the tariff and seem
disposed TO be on the currency; that the
PRESIDENT HAY encounter opposition and
be obliged to yield something himself. As

Mr.. Underwood was likewise in office,
and will remain. If he fails in his sena-

Gov. Foss did not expect recognition OF
any kind at Mr. Wilson's hands. and. In
fact ia no longer a democrat He was
cured Of his democracy by the Presi-
dents tariff policy. which Congress IS

Only Gov. Harmon Is unaccounted LOT.
So far nothing has been done for him.
He seems to have dropped out complete

Mr. Wilson took office. His name has
ceased to appear in political discussion.
The Buckeye statesman was rated as
the conservative candidate at Baltimore.
All the others were progressives. To him,
for some reason, attached the suspicion
that he was not orthodox. Nobody ques-
toned his ability or high personal char

Child Labor.

From the Boston Transcript.
Dissatisfaction with the operation Of the
new child labor law Is reported from the
mill towns. BY mill owners and mill OPP
eratives are cited Individual cases of the
hardships resulting from the stringent
provisions Of this new legislation, which
became effective the first of this month
That was to be expected. It is SO with
any great reform. The right way is sell
dom the easiest way in life or legislation.
The new Massachusetts enactment against
child labor is a great reform. 1t is the
right way to safeguard the health and
the character of the citizenship of tomor-
row. Allowance is made by the public for
the impetus given these protests among
the mill workers by those Of their en-
ployers who fought against any further
restrictions upon the employment of the
youth of this commonwealth. But this is
not to say that some families will not find
their daily existence made the harder by
the new law Theirs is the sacrifice for
the general good.
