TESTING Silk.

The best way to test silk is to cut off
a small piece and burn it. If it burns
out quickly. leaving clear, crisp, gray
ash, the silk is pure. but if it smolders
and leaves heavy reddish brown ash
it has been treated with chemicals and
will not wear well.-EXchange.

Fighting the White Plague.

Adequate hospital facilities for the
$4,000 residents of Ohio who are sui.
fering from tuberculosis has been de-
cided upon by the prevention of tuber-
culosis and officials of the state board
of health. 1t is proposed to create II
hospital districts of from four to six
counties each, wherein campaigns will
be inaugurated for the erection of dis
trict tuberculosis hospitals to be main
tanned jointly by the cooperating
counties.
Through the erection of these IL
district hospitals, supplementing the
present sanitaria, anti-tuberculoslS
workers believe that the $4,000 vic.
Tins. will be adequately cared for, and
that the people of the state will be
so well protected through this hospl'
talization that eventually Ohio's death
rate of 1000 per year will be reduced
materially.

Raleigh.

Establishing a precedent in North
Carolina and asserting woman's sun-
questioned rights to enter into the
professional field soi long dominated
by man, is the initiative step taken by
Miss Cora Corpening, Of Mars Hill, in
matriculating for a full-fedged med1-
cal course in the University Of North
Carolina. She is the first woman to
register for a course leading to the
profession of medicine in the annals
of North Carolina colleges, and per-
haps has no parallel in Southern col
leges.
Miss Corpening's home is in Mars
Hill, where she received her prepare
tory training in Mars Hill College. On
the completion of her course at that
institution, she entered Tennessee
College, of Murfreesboro, Tenn, where
she pursued collegiate studies for one
year. She arrived in Chapel Hill
Wednesday and her schedule for a
first year medical course was imme-
diately arranged, DR.. I. H. Manning,
dean of the medical school, assisting
The recent elevation of the stand
ard of the medical school, the long
hours to which a "med" student is
subjected, and unending laboratory
work, are among the hardships which
Miss Corpening will conquer with the
same spirit which prompted her to

usual number of 80 hours on the
schedule of the frst-year "med" stu
dents will be attacked vigorously by
North Cardinals prospective woman
doctor.
The University for the past five
years has grown with increasing ia
vor as an institution where women
might pursue higher studies or a
course in law. 1t was five years ago
that the law department welcomed
its first woman candidate anticipating
the life at the bar. This first candi-
date for admission in the law school
was from Franklin, Macon county,
and each succeeding year since that
time a woman has graced the class
room Of the law department. The
present session has enrolled as stu
dents for full law course two wo-
men: Miss M. T. Ham, of Charlotte,
and Miss Margaret Berry, of Chapel
HILL The scholarship of women law
students, as we'll as women registeF-

The Revenue Cutter Service
Iu Inc Ph..ade,phia Press


There is a service but little known to
Americans on the seacoast, except sea-
farers there, and known hardly at all to
inlanders. who are daily besought to
join the navy. that is one of the most
efficient arms of this government al sea.
That is the United States revenue cutter
service. In war it is but an auxiliary OF
the navy. although the war with Spain
proved il deserves the name of being
much more than that But in peace,
which hath its victories as well as
war as the proverb goes. the revenue
cutter service is active In saving human
life when the navy is only going about
the business of practicinS how to take
life. Never wreck off our bound
Atlantic coast, nor d raging sou wester
lashing the coast of the Pacific but the
revenue cutters are poking their noses
out Of port, when the strongest seagong
tugs refuse to go to sea, to respond to
wireless calls for help. The Onondaga,
that hurried from the Chesapeake capes
to the Monroe and Nantucket: the stout
little hookerS that every day help a ship
or her crew to escape Henlopen; the
frOstbitten men that aid our Banks
fishermen to get ashore: the men that
destroy derelicts, and save others; that
are always first on perilous detail. and
the last to leave it-that is the service
which is proud of being "the original
naval force of the country And the
assistance of vessels in distress is one
of the proudest of its duties. More power

Replacing Wood With Steel

Wooden railway cars now in use in the
United States could be replaced with
steel cars for S39o, OOO, 900, says the presi-
dent of the Railway Business Association
Even for the railroads, whose treasures
are sometimes supposed to be exhaust
less. that is a considerable sum. They
should be allowed "a reasonable time
within which to replace this large
amount of equipment. Public opinion
generally condemns wooden cars. They
have too often proved their capacity for
mischief to have many friends left among
people who travel even occasionally. Ac-
cordingly. the proposal to compel by law
their replacement with more durable
coaches meets little opposition. Even the
railroads themselves are offering scarcely
any objections; all they ask is a reason
able time to accomplish the intended re-
form. Better cars. of course. will have
little or no influence toward preventing
wrecks. Other means must be found for
that. But. if occasional serious wrecks
are to occur. the rigid steel car seems
| 10 be the best guarantee SO far suggested
for reducing its horrors. In the end
the people foot the bill for such an un-
| dertaking. and the public consideration
Is paramount In any such discussion.

ton about a naval holiday increases

and Russia and Italy go forward with

their efforts to take charge is that the
taxes for the support of the military es-
Establishments have become SO oppressive
the backs of the people are breaking
under the burden. Hence their demands
for a change. and their promises to dis
arm il intrus,ed with power They would
seize upon Mr.. Bryan. therefore. as a

a weapon against existing government.
OF course Mr. Bryan. the Wilson ad-
ministration and the American people are
for peace. But they are not conducting
the campaign for peace along socialistic
lines or TO promote socialjstic propa-
ganda. There is no purpose to rebuke
any foreign government for its policies
respecting war. or play into the hands of
its local opponents on that subject
