Aunt Mary ask IL Jack were better and
heard Dick answer gruffiy that he had
left the hospital yesterday and should
have been home before this.
He did, not say that he learned this

"You are the only woman in the

This seemed to have angered DICK
almost beyond his self-control.

men, except in social way. You

MARRIAGE AS A VOCATION
Writer Thinks, However, That Prep aration Should Re Made for It by

Marriage should be looked upon as vocation and nos mere avocation. argues one who signs herself "Femin- ist" in an open letter to one of the daily papers The writer, who had been teacher, but who is now a mother, has been surprised that be. ing a wife and mother is a "pro- fession, the successful performance -6f -wshose uutfes requires all my ef- fort and all my time,'' Feminist" thinks that women. generally do not realize this or r1fuso to face it, that young women contemplating matri- mony should be made to realize that they are choosing a profession quite as important as medicine. law or busi- ness, and that, if possible. a prepara- tory course should be required before. granting the certificate to practice the, profession of wife and mother. This sounds very well and would be ad- mirable if it could be carried through. But as there are two paths in mar riage it would be very one-sided If the, woman received all the training. A good, stiff preparatory course for the. young man contemplating the profess sion of husband and father would be, quite as much in order. If we have one, let us have the other, also.- Francis Frear in Leslies Weekly

factories mines and railroads. It is the property of Britishers.
 Gutierrez made himself power in the consti- tutionalist party rather by destroying property than by actual hard fighting. He became dicta- tor of the zacatecas district and set out to annoy his old employer, General Manager Percy Carr of the Mazipul Copper company who, of course, had never heard of Gutierrez while the latter was humble watchman.
 The copper company was the proprietor or the railroad running to Zacatecas and had arranged special train to take away the families of foreigners As Gutierrez heard of this he telephoned to Carr in Saltillo that Carr must pay him $27,000 for the privilege of running this train over Carr's own railroad or else the sol ders of the ex-watchman would not let the cars pass.
 If you don't pay, and send the train through you know what will happen,'' said Gutierrez and he could not have made his meaning clearer to Carr had he drawn his finger across his throat.
 So Carr paid the money and the women and children, chiefly Americans, reached the border without hurt

SCIENCE IN ITS EARLY YEARS
Efforts of Truly Great Men Largely NuIIified by the Work of the
 Sophists.

And so it happened tlhtssat. thsat about 65S 65S B. C., there arose Thales, who, by his wide experience and the persistent en- thusiasm with which he carried on investigation, earned the title of Fa- ther of Science. And so, also, shortly after him, Anaximander, by committing his knowledge to writing, brought into existence the first scientific manu- script. The sixth century, like the seventh, was still a period of origins. It saw the physical researches of Py- thagoras, and the historical studies of Hecataeus. In the fifth century Greek learning reached it's climax, This age was resplendent with the names of Thucydides, who wrote history with critical care; of Heraclitus, who con- ceived of a universal reign of law, and of Hippocrates, the Father of Medi
 cine. It's greatest character was So- crates, the 'barefooted, questioning sage of the market place of Athens. With ever burning enthusiasm for truth, this great teacher attempted. by quiet and candid debate, to aid men to make their concepts clear, and to give words definite meanings, trusting that through the correct use of the reason they would arrive at recognition of superiority of right actions. The fourth century was both an advance and a decline, II comprised the work of Plato and Aristotle, the one elaborat- ing the concepts of Socrates with po- etic power, the other systematizing knowledge in truly scientific form. But in this age the domand for brilliant

American Dentist in Europe.

But let me tell you about the Ameri- can dentist in the European war. The hospital physician told me that he no- ticed early in his war work that many of the soldiers were suffering from toothache more than from their wounds So every wounded man was examined by dentist before he was taken to the ward. It was discovered that a large percentage of the men from the trenches had swollen gums. and that by treating their mouths they were cured and ready for the front ten days earlier than in cases where their teeth were allowed to go.

Wonderful Wireless

There is apparently no limit to the future possibilities of the wireless. Wireless storm warnings and general weather forecasts for ships at sea, GOV ering conditions 100 miles off shore along the entire Atlantic coast, was inaugurated by the United States navy department on July IS, 1913. Direct wireless communication between America and Asia was established by the completion of stations in Siberia and Alaska, the stations being about 800 miles apart Today no vessel of any consequence plies the oceans with out its system of wireless, and it's ef- fectiveness in receiving news of the

Botanical Curiosity.

Since 1893, when Prof. John Muir head Macfarlane. now director of the botanical garden at the University of Pennsylvania, found that the leaves of the plant known as the Venus fly trap will close up only if the trigger hairs are disturbed twice in succession, very little has been learned about the phys iology of this curious insect-catching plant. During the past year, however
 some new experiments have been

made that bring it's behavior into line with the behavior of animals in cer- tain respects. The leaves are sensl- tive to mechanical disturbances, to electrical stimulation and to the sud den. incrs@.,e----iiii temperature as through the application of warm wa ter. At ordinary temperatures it takes two stimulations to get up the, re- sponse; but at higher temperatures one shock" will cause the leaf to close.

 and railroads earned for him the title of "The Destroyer" He never displayed Gpy such mili- tary ability Villa; but destr 1ction is popular with the Mexican soldery, it must be remembered.
 Gutierrez plundered and robbed with slight heed to what Carranza and Villa were doing He seized property of Americans and put it to his own purposes, while Carranza ignored protests, despite his title of first chief
 Last July he sent demand to Carr, ordering him to resume all the Mazpul industries at once. It must be remembered that the British company had been closed down for months. There was no fuel no cars, no railroad tracks, and there was no financial basis. Yet the order from the watchman read to start up the works, North Mexico is now pacifed and there is no excuse for delay.'
 It was physical impossibty Carr went to Carranza with a final protest. Carranza in- formed Carr he could delay resumption, and for this Gutierrez seized $300,000 worth of ore owned by the company and sought to sell 1t as contraband, in which he probably succeeded.
 Carranza has degenerated into the head of a band of looters The scenes accompanying his evacuation of Mexico City, it is learned, were disgraceful The national treasury was robbed of all except about 100000 pesos, which must have been overlooked. Every ounce of gold and silver in the mint was taken. Also there went printing presses, plates and the entire stock of bank note paper in the government printing offices The public offices were stripped of lit tings inkstands, typewrters furniture, rugs, car pets and curtains. Even the huge presidential chair in the National palace was crated and borne off It is estimated that automobiles valued at three million pesos at least were taken out of the city, many of them communicated from private citizens and foreigners.
 At the Buena Vista station of the Mexican rail- way train after train drew out in the direc- ton of Vera Cruz laden down with every con- ceivable sort of punder--motors furniture horses, pianos, paintings and safes. Even Huerta was out-Huertaed
 The now ridiculous Carranza is set up at Vera Cruz His cause is hopelessy lost Among his remaining leaders, however, Gen. Alvaro Ohregon looms large. He is undoubtedly 8 strong man He has kept Gen. Lucio B.anco in line for Car ranza and saw that the retreat from Mexico City was not an entire rout. However, Obregon is 8 plunderer like the rest.
 Another man who should not escape mention is Governor Jose Maria Maytorena of Sonora, whose men have been beseging the Carranza general Hill, in Naco. In Sonora Maytorena is supreme and he is idolized by the Indians. He is not friendly toward Americans, and there is a weldefined conviction among the American army officers along the border that Maytorena could by a word have prevented the snipers' bullets which killed and wounded 52 persons from com ing over the international boundary line at Naco. So far he has confined himself to the Northwest. If Maytorena ever decides to follow the path from the north of most of Mexfco's conquerors from the time of Juarez it may be with no mean army.

with a strong hand Dispatches from the agents of the United States government to the officials there are not pleasant reading for the friends of Mexico.
 If there is of whom the Americans interested in Mexico have hope it is Antonio Villareal. He enlisted early in the cause of Car ranza's consttutionalists and fighting steadily up to the date of the taking of Monterey, in the capture of which he assisted Then he was ap- pointed governor of Nuevo Leon. He was men, toned many times for his part in the conference at Torreon, which followed the first open break between Carranza and Villa and later Carranza offered him the post of war minister.
 He acted as president of the second or Aguas- ealientes convention it will be remembered. Car ranza, when he began his short period of glory" in Mexico City, made Vareal minister of finance, but Villarea became disgusted with the inepti- tude of the Carranza crowd and resigned
 villareal is quiet and unassuming in manner, and this more in Mexico than it would in the United States. He is thirty-eight years old, we'll educated, and speaks good English, having been school teacher
 When a youth he became involved in dispute with rival to certain woman's affections and killed him.
 He served four years in the pententiary But with this he has the cleanest record of any man in Mexico who is in position of power
 Villareal once was editor of Spanish paper published in St. Louis He is daring and at the same time tactful. He is not antagonistic toward Americans, either, and frequently goes out of his way to accommodate them. In his bold frankness and hatred of shams he is much more like an American than any of the other Mexican leaders.
 Carranza and Villa both like Villareal, and he Is the only they both like. While he has always protected foreigners and even forbade the publication of antiAmerican articles in Monterey he much hurt by the presence of American troops in Vera Cruz This was the one thing which stood in the way of his approval of things American.
 As to Villa he has long ago become familiar in ability and character to Americans. He is great military genius, but civil executive and he knows it. His game now is to be the power behind the throne-to rule through the de facto Mexico City president, Eulalio Gutierrez If Villa ever attempts to occupy the presidential chair he will probably travel the rest of the road of Diaz Huerta and Carranza in short order. Before the present troubles started Gutierrez was watchman employed by the big Mazipul Copper company at Zacatecas. This concern owns
