to her present position of fame and
achievement not through a desire for
personal aggrandizement but through
d desire to serve.
Il have often noticed the difference
between the attitude Of men who have
done things and women VINO have done
things. Men are never willing to as
cribe their achievements 20 any power
but their own. They take full credit
to themselves for what they have done,
and never imply that it is God working
through them. The women. on the
other hand, view their work with
humility. They give God the credit
for it and are content that He chose
them ss an instrument. None Of these
women OF whom have written are
vainglorous about their achievements.
Dr.. Shaw, FOR instance, has been the
recipient Of many honors, and yet she
IS a. simple and unaffected as at the

SHOWS SUFFRAGE
AS AID TO NATION
Adolph Lewisohn Says Average
Man Knows but Little
About Politics.

a plain talk By plain business
man." to use his own Characterization,
was what Adolph Lewisohn gave the
audience at the Fifth Avenue Suffrage
Shop yesterday afternoon.
You have heard many eloquent
spcechcs on why women should have
the vote" ne said. 81 take it that you
wanted me 10 come here just TO tell
YOU what a business man thinks on the
subject.
II have been TO anti-sufrage meet
ings and listened TO their talk. and
have never heard q good argument
against woman suffrage. If everybody
was satisfied with this government. if
politics was taken care Of ideally. per-
hans we would be content to leave
things alone. But politics is not taken
care of ideally. Women, believe, care
more about making this better coun-
try to live in than do men"
Most men, Mr. Lewisohn SAID, don't
know anything about politics, anyhow.
81 doubt if per cent Of the men
could tell you the difference between
the Republican and Democratic parties,
and as we are here by ourselves !
will make a confession TO you: ' don't
know the difference myself, though |
have been a member Of the Republican
committee and ought to know. If the
women come in TO help US they may
find out.
1--WE hear a great deal about how it
will break up the home to let women
vote. Now, as to the sufragiSts and
the anti-SufFragists. they are out OF
the home a great deal already, working
for the vote or against the vote. IL
would take no more of their time to
vote

Winifred Sackyille Stoner, jr., the
twelve-year-old prodigy who has pub
iished nine books in various languages
and passed her college entrance exam
nations at the age Of nine, yesterday
covered her first story as reporter on
Broadway She was assigned TO write
her Impressions OF Ali, in Wonder
land" One of little Miss Stoner's
earliest triumphs was TO recite the
Jabberwocky at the age Of two.
Between the acts Miss Stone went
behind the scenes and interviewed the
child actress, who plays the part of
Alice. She missed none of the details
Of makeup or Of the other Mysteries
Of the land behind the curtain Face
TO face with Vivian Tobie, however, a
very natural little girl shyness over
took the child prodigy. The two gazed
at each other in embarrassing silence
for some time. Finally the visitor
spoke
How old are YOU" she asked
Vivian Tobe said she was twelve
and that broke the ice, for Nnlfred Is
Just twelve, too.
Her story, just as it reached The
Tribune office last night, is as follows:

She had been sent checks from the

This we readily understood, when
she further explained, her man" had
been discharged. We found that Kelly
had not appreciated the fact that a
private must not argue matters with
his superior officers, and that he had
more than once insisted on discussing
given orders, and even tried to raise
little strike in his company over some
detail. So Kelly had been asked to re-
turn to his freside. and Kelly's
"Missus" had missed the checks from

4 New Cabbage.
For those who find the common gar
den variety of rabbagc too punGen'
there is something new in cabbases.
This is the Chinese white cabbage
which is as different from the ordinary
sorts as possible. Instead OF forming
a solid, rounded head it assumes more
the appearance of Cos lettuce, with an
open and soft mass of leaves.
II is easily cultivated in this coun-
tn, but must be grown in the cool sea
son. for it runs quickly 70 seed in hot
and dry weather Il is superior 90 ouI
cabbage in that it has no strong odo-
when cooking and mas an cXcellen,
flavor either raw or cooked. Il re-
ouires less cooking than our cabbage
as it is of less substance. and will in
that way also preserve It's shape Tor
serving. The Chinese cabbage IS but
orc OF ABOUT a dozen Oriental vege-
tables that are now being tested and
investigated by the government Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Succulent Cardoon.
Sister to the artichoke is the car
doom, but while the former IS cult
waited for its flower buds, the latter is
grown for its thick and succulent leaf
stalk and midrib. The cardoon is a
native of the Mediterranean region,
and grows wild extensively on the
pampas of South America, but 1t is
practically unknown here except to the
foreigners. II is a thistlelike plant
with large prickly leaves, which must
be blanched before they are edible.
The seed is sown in April in rows
four feet apart, and two to three feet
apart in the row. They should be given
rich soil and plenty Of moisture sup
ply. for they must make continuous
and rapid growth. When the leaves are
nearly full grown they are tied to-
gether and some earth is banked about
them for the blanching. They are kept
thus for two to four weeks. The inner
leaf stalks are then used as a vege-
table, preferably as pot herb.
