American Women
 Flirt Until 30

BERLIN.-"Until she is thirty the American Woman's sole intellectual diversion is flirting. Alter thirty she suddenly gets | craze for education and neglects her home and husband and children to attend mass of
 ndigestible lectures"
 This is the opinion expressed in an article contributed to the Voss- isci.e Zeitung by Karin Michaelis Stangeland, the author of "'The Dangerous Age" The Little Moth CT" and other books of feminist kind.
 Mrs. Stangeland. who married Charles Emil Stangeland, lately sec retary of the American legation at La Paz, Bolivia, has spent two years in America, where she resides with her sister, Baroness Joost Dable- rup, at New Rochelle, N. Y. She divorced her first husband in 1911 and married Mr. Stangeland Feb ruary 22, 1912.
 In the description of American wives Mrs Stangeland criticises thus:
 "The American wife has also bad qualities. She does not know the meaning of the word home To her it only means the place where she stores the pretty clothes she loves so passionately. If you asked 100 American women if they would rath CT keep their homes unaltered for twenty years or change annually ninety nine would choose to change.
 "The American woman does not coquette like the French. She just flirts Her whole attitude is one of Catch me. if you Can!' and flirting up to the age of thirty is her sole intellectual diversion. After she is thirty she suddenly gets craze for education and neglects her home, her husband and her children to attend a mass of indigestible lectures until she reaches the stage where her only serious quarrel with Provi dence is that it does not enable her to attend a suffrage meeting at Carnegie hall and an anti-suffra2e meeting at Madison Square at one and the same time.
 Not until America learns that this standardization of women is unworthy of her and, more important still. that the intellectual education of men is necessity of civilization will she really be a land of un' limited possibilities.

 When asked if he thought the gov ernment would build and maintain good wagon road along the line Of it's new railroad MT. Edgerton re piled that he did not think so. He said that it would be necessary for road to be built at places at least, but it would probably not be of a permanent nature. In many places, he said, he believed that the government would lay a temporary railroad track and would use that until permanent grades could be made.
