TO AMERICAN WOMEN
WOMEN OF GERMANY, AUSTRIA
AND OTHER EUROPEAN COUM-
TRIES ASK AMERICAN WOMEN
TO HELP PEACE CAMPAIGN.

The Hague, Holland, May 20.-An elo-
quent plea for help from American wOm-
Ell to aid women of Germany, Austria and
other European nations in campaigns in
the interest of universal peace was made
today by Countess Isabelle Aberdeen,
wife of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
and president of the Worlds Council of
Women, when she opened the annual
convention of that organization here.
The convention viii continue through
Tuesday. Scores of women prominent in
movements toward universal peace and
international arbitration in Europe and
America attended today's sessions. The
big topic today was the program to be
arranged for the great %quintennial meet
ing in Rome in 1914. Mrs. Andrea HOfer
ProudfOot of Chicago, member of the
International Amity League, and a CO.
worker with Frau Hainisch in Vienna
for the past few months, also pleaded
for a more hearty response by American
women."We are sadly handicapped in our
work" declared Mrs. HOfer ProudfOOt.
for it is difficult to arouse interest
in European countries in our work. We
need the activities and experience of
women of the Western Continents to
stimulate enthusiasm in the work over
here. All present the women of the states
do not play the part they should i'm this

THE CREPE PAPER BALL.
(Contributed)


"What color will you wear to the
Crepe Paper Ball?, is the quite feminine
question each friend asks the other these
days. Friday is the day Of the beautiful
crepe paper ball, and it will be a beauti-
full spectacle if all we hear is true. Like
O rainbow will the fair maidens be in
their fluffy costumes, and the men wei
come this pretty event as they will wear
cool. summary clothes-nO full dress, no
silk hats this night-but cool, white duck
or ~flannels and their straw hats. The
crepe paper costumes are not only for
the participants in the special dances. 1t
is requested that all wear crepe paper
costumes. They are lovely and inexpen-
sive and are quickly made. Don't lose
sight of the fact that this is a Crepe Pa
per ball. You won't feel conspicuous In
such attire. You will feel more cOnspic-
nous in any other. for most of the fem
mime population is seen with a roll OF
the pretty colored papers under their
arms.
The Crepe Paper Ball is given for the
benefit of the Charity Hospital, but alsf
for your real pleasure, and mt a cost mo-
more than for an every day hop.
Be there. by all means. It's novel.

USING INTERCOASTAL CANAL.

Brownsville people who have so long
been discussing the advantage Of water
transportation for freight will be inter
ested in the account of the first ven
ture through the i~ntercoastal canal from
GalvesOn to Matagorda.
The schooner Myrtle, Captain A.. S.
Barrow, cleared May Is for MatagOrda,
inaugurating the first regular freight
service through the new inter-doastal
waterway canal. The Myrtle was loaded
to capacity (35 tom with oil, sand brick
and groceries for delivery to cOnsignees
at FreepOrt ,VelascO. HinkeIs Ferry and
MatagOrda.
The Myrtle will run twice weekly. Gal
weston to Matagorda and return. Pres
ent indications point to an abundance of
bushes for this schooner, as merchants
are quick to take advantage Of the saw
ing through water transportation to the
points mentioned. What has been ac-
cOmplished in the case of the Myrtle is
indicative of what will occur in cOnnec-
ton with all points along the canal,
from central Louisiana to the Rio Gran
de. The canal service affords a double
saving in time and money over that re-
CURED by rail transportation.

sATIRICAL STRAIN OF HUM0R

company with Lawrence Barrett, and
at that friends suggestion, and during
which he had been annoyed as we'll

1eonomlc Inquiry, Conducted Along.
Scientific Lines, Means Muclsto
the Human Race.

Notwithstanding the growth In re-
cent years Of the work Of the geologi-
cal survey along practical economic
lines, scientific work has not been
neglected, according to the annual re-
port Of the director for last year. In
fact, IN the survey the scientific inves-
legations are inseparable from the.
economic work. though the one or the
other may predominant in purpose ac-
.cording to the needs Of the particular
research in hand. In any field econo-
mic work Of the highest rank is Inn
possible without full knowledge of the
scientific laws and principles pertain
Ing to the subject Of the work, but as
there is no application Of geology
which does not involve unsolved prob
lens, some Of them Of the highest Inn
portance, the best knowledge available
Is nevertheless relative. It thus fol
lows that the broad and searching
Observations which should accompany
every piece Of good economic work
comprehend data that are eventually
combined in the construction of new
scientific hypothesis, some Of which,
as more observations accumulate,
grow into established laws or princi-
pies that are in turn Of the greatest
practical consequence. Thus the de-
tailed studies Of the metalliferous de-
posits in one region or another bring
to light evidence from which to deter
mine the genesis OF the ores and the
modes or conditions by their occur

BARREN LANG IN AUSTRALIA
In Northern Districts There Are 1926
Square Miles to Each Person,
RELATES a Traveller.

PROF. Baldwin Spencer, who holds
the eh2ir of biology in the University
os Melbourne, returned lately from
travels in North Australia, and what
most struck him was '4the extraordi-
nary emptiness and loneliness of that
great land"
! In more than one-half million square
miles there are but four thousand
white people, Which allows 125 square
miles for each. But only twenty
hundred miles away, four days sail
or so, is Japan, with forty million peo-
pie. 1t is a fact, he says, calculated
ito make Australians think about the
possibilities of the future"
And it is this, of course, which LEADS
Australia to object to the proposal to
make Gibraltar the base of it's impe'
rial fleet That would be nice for
England, which has weakened its
Mediterranean force, but from Gibral-
tar to Melbourne is nearly nine thou
sand miles. Nor does it suffice to say
that no European navy is nearer; as
one. Australian lately put it, 1--WE are

NATURAL COMPASS IN WOODS
TO Those Versed In Woodcraft, No,
ture Provides Many Guides for
& Il. the Traveller.

Those we'll versed In woodcraft
point out that even in the 'tracklessl
forests" nature provides many nat
ural compasses to keep the traveller
straight in his course.
For instance, there Is a mature tree
that stands apart from it's fellows.
The bark on this tree will be harder,
drier and lighter in color on the south
side. On the north it will show a
clump of mold or moss. On the south
side of the evergreen trees gum will
be hard and amber colored. On the
north side this gum is softer, general
ly dustier, and is Of a soiled gray hue.
Hardwood trees-the oak, the ash,
elns, hickories, mesquite, etc.-have
moss and mold on the north. Leaves
are smaller, tougher lighted in color
and with darker veins on the south.
on the north they are longer, Of dark
or green and with lighter veins.
Spiders build on the south side. In
the south air plants will attach them
selves to the north side. Cedars bend
their tips to the south.
Sawed or cut stumps will afford one
IF the compass points, inasmuch as
The concentric rings are thicker on the
south side. The heart of the stump
Is thus nearer to the north side.
These results are said to be due to
The influence of the sun. Stones are
bare on the south side, and if they
show any moss at all it will be on
the north. At best, on the sunny side
only thin covering of harsh, half-dry
moss will be found. III

Watch In the Safety Vault.

"A strong box, containing family rec
ords and heirlooms was opened q few
days ago to examine an old manu-
script, relates the New York Tribune.
The box had not been disturbed for
several years, and the women, who
had taken 1t into q private room, were
surprised when they removed an old.
fashioned open-face watch from its
resting place to hear it tick loudly.
This to them was evidence that the
box had been tempered with. But
everything was found intact and in
keeping with the memorandum Of
contents, and they were much per.
picked because Of the ticking watch,
which ceased its activity before the
box was returned to it's place. A
matchmaker who was consulted said
that such "momentary life'' in dead"
timepieces when disturbed was not I'm
