them to be making no real demands

feel that there is no place in life that
would be empty If they failed to fill it.
Could FIJI Real Places.
1t would be simple enough for them
to fill a real place in life if they in
turn, let the demands Of life fill their
own existence; but instead they put
a few trifles, a lSttle work, a little
pleasure, little whining and a little
impotent struggle into lives that ac-
tually crave to hold some big neces-
stiles.
The only cure for az sufferer from
emptiness in life is to search for one
big thing to do, regardless as to
whether that big thing is the absolute
congenial choice of his nature Out of
one big interest will spring many little
interests. One of these is bound to
lead to cOngep1al work. And all of the

W omen With Empty Lives.
They May Be Divided Into Several Classes Says Beatrice Fairfax
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

O tru 11'' that nature ma '" aO6 6oP 'l a
vacuum-and we dismiss the
idea without applying it in any per-
sonal way to our own lives. But if a
vacuum is abhorrent in science and all
the "ologies" and 'isms" of book and
laboratory life, it is equally so in the
vast field of humanity. There is moth
ing that is more unnatural and harder
to endure than a life that is based on
nothing and filed with nothing.
The hard working folk who must
grub for their very needs have no right
to be half as sorry for themselves as
they are for the poor creatures who
have no struggle to fill their empty
lives. Even if all ones work does not
bring in enough money to buy warm
clothing and good food and proper
housing, there is a certain element Of
fight and planning and interesting
gambling chance" to make the life
Of a worker varied and free from
monOtOny. And in the monOtOny of an
empty life there is a very painful
kind of misery. of which Ifes busy
workers are mercifully ignorant.
Sufferers From Empty Lives Many.
The sufferers from empty lives"
may be divided into several classes.
First of all one thinks of the society
fills up her existence with all sorts
of fads and fancies- The worker envies
the idler when she sees her lOlling in
her limOusineOn the avenue. 1t is true
that the butterfly" is probably shell
tered and protected from all Of life's
realities but how is a grown up woman
to content herself with frOth and frivol
and toys when life in the very nature
of things is filled with her primal facts
and necessities2

who sits quietly at home and permits
her father to do the wage earning
and her mother to do the homework.
1t never occurs to her that the DAYS
she gets through somehow might
be far more interesting if they were
filled quite full Of real things instead
of treated so that they are like boxes
with a few trifles rafting around in
side.

will compare with any we have in the
United States. I understand that they
can raise Bartlett pears and ROckyford
cantalOupes, and in the markets
found them selling plums and apples,
and figs, blue and white. Among the
muskmelons is one that has a white
flesh which is especially delicious, and
which will weigh twenty or thirty
pounds. This melon is said to keep we'll
and it may be among the fruits ex-
ported for our winter use. The same
melons are raised in Chile and I am
told that shiploads of them could be
got for export. Another curious fruit
is a peach without fuzz. It's skin is as
smooth as that of a plum and at the
same time the flesh and stone and taste
are those of a delicious peach.

The general lectures this week are
being delivered by Professor Quigley.
His topics are unique and he handles
them in such way as to give many
practical suggestions for teachers. He
is most happy in his choice of illustra-
tive material and speaks in a convincing
and interesting manner Next week,
j. Adams Puffer, author of The Boy and
His Gang. will give series of five lee
lures and in addition will conduct round
table discussions in which the teachers
may discuss with him their problems in
discipline.

To make q mistake and get another
man S suit case, leave the train and go
your way without taking notice of the
mistake is liable to create considerable
trouble. At least Jim Vernon, q resi-
dent Of Lake City, found it so when he
hurriedly left the train at Gunnison this
week and IT afterwards developed that
he had taken the suit case owned by
one, Army Adams. Now it seems that
Vernon is the right sort of a fellow, and
every man makes mistakes, but in the
meantime the aforesaid Adams dis
covered that his suit case was gone, and
after he reached Sapinero, twenty-eight
miles from Gunnison. he decided that
there was too much in the suit case to
lose and SO turned around and came
right back to Gunnison. In Gunnison
he stirred up the authorities, and the
authorities not knowing the man who
made mistake and being bound to do
their duty as they saw il. did it: and SO
the man with the wrong suit case found
a
victim Of circumstances.
Things began to look bad. But there
was girl in the case and she saved the
day.
Yes she saved the day and she was
pretty Normal girl, and it would seem
that she was the treason why" Vernon
found it necessary to stop in Gunnison.
Poor Vernon. although the world
would love lover. found the authorities
hard and cold, and the same authorities
confined him for the first time in his
life to the cold gray walls of the county
jail there to remain until he proved
that he only wanted his own suit case
and thought he had it. But the girl
would not have it that way. and Vernon
had hardly become acquainted with one

A head-on collision of two automobiles
occurred last Monday . short distance
this side of Psrlins, end resulted in the
injury about the head of . small child
end the smashing up of the hesd-end Of
the machine. r. o. Ward, his wife and
little child of Oklahoma, were riding in
one of the cars, and o. +. Werner and
wife of Ohio City were in the other.
The two cars came together with
such force that the twenty -one months
old child of Mr.. and Mrs. Ward, who
was sitting on its mothers lap, was
thrown partly through the wind shield,
cutting . long cash in its head. The
radiator, front spring, fender, one light
and hood Of the Ward car was badly
smashed, and it will cost him something
like 500 to have it repaired. Those
who have seen the Werner car, say that
the lights. tenders. and radiator are
somewhat smashed.
1t seems that the accident did occur
near q curve, but that both of the
drivers saw each other Mr. Ward who
was coming toward Gunnison, was com
PEELED to turn into the bank, and he says
that he turned in as close as possible
without running up on the bank and be-
ing turned over. He says that he was
driving at the rate of ten miles an hour
and had good control of his machine. 1t
seems that Werner was going at much
higher rate Of speed. and failed to slack
en- his machine or turn out sufficiently
to avoid the collision when the two ma
chimes approached each other. The
condition of the front end of the Ward
car Indicate that the driver turned out
on the right side of the road. and it is
known that he had the bank side of the
road. Why Werner did not either
bring his car to q stop or else turn out
sufficiently is not known unless he was
going at a rate Of speed which prohibit
ed an avoidance of the collision. Those
who saw Ward driving along the road
say that be was driving At a very
moderate rate of speed
