A WISE MOTHER
By ADA PATTERSON

She lives in the Bronx, remote and more or less wooded suburb of New York. this wise mother come to judg- ment.
 Recently the news afforded us the spectacle of an unwise widow one who permitted a man to squander her more than half a million dollars in injudicious investments, he cloaking the crooked transactions with his love holds up to us the wise widow of the Bronx who asked and received an all lowance of s30O0 a year from her hus- bands entailed estate to support and educate her 13-year-old daughter It will be a double edged sharper who will secure a. second thought from this widow. He need not tarry in hope of a dollar
 It is thus she strikes the keynote of her plan for rearing her daughter: "I believe in bringing up the girl of today with all the sweet old-t time virtues, but with the self-dependence that goes with our modern ideas of womanhood"
 
 or better: q realize that I am only doing part of my duty when I wisely look after the spending of her income. A mothers greatest duty is guiding the developing mind of her child
 My little girl was graduated very young from grammar school, and is now taking a preparatory course for Vassar. She thinks she would like to be a lawyer. Perhaps she will
 T have suggested that she might take d teachers course. which would give her @ profession much in demand, that she could fall back upon if she should lose her property. I think that a woman who has property ought to have a vote to pro- teet it.. But I believe sincerely that a w"man's place is in the home To be the home maker for her husband and children is the highest happiness of d normal, sensible woman, and she is full Filling her greatest duty to the state and to society.
 "But before marriage, or in the event Of her not marrying, if woman is espe- cially brilliant, do not see any reason
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-03-21

why she should not devote herself to a profession. A good education cannot be taken away from you though you may lose every cent you have.
 My daughter is interested in art and music and is a great reader, but l am taking pains to teach her housekeeping and homemaling. I asked the court for S4e0 a year for clothes, but 1t pleases me that she likes to design her own cloth ing. We make her dresses ourselves here in the home.
 She was born in the city and likes best to live here, though I have begun to travel with her. I have taken her through Canada and the south and this year We will go to the Panama-Pacific exposition to broaden her education
 All this is the essence of homely wis dom. Here is a flash from the mind of a sage.
 Tn guiding her mind I have tried to give her all the useful knowledge of the world that woman of e5 ought to have, anc to give it to her wisely as she is entering her teens. The old fashioned mothers brought up their daughters in an ignorance that was criminal for the mothers"
 I would stop there to let this nail of wisdom enter where 1t belongs, but her budget of expenses is too valuable to omit. Here is good opportionment on the scale of $So00 a year that may be adapted on greater or less scale
 We live quietly here in the Bronx because do not want her to grow up in . section of the city that is too crowd sed. My estimate. which the court ap- proved, of how to spend her yearly 5000 is this.
 Rent of apartment ssGo Of course we could spend much more than that, but 1 want her to study economy.
 For general expenses, too many to de- tall. $1400.
 Tor clothing S4O0.
 For summer vacations S200.
 For music, dancing and riding les sons $50.
 Birthday and Christmas gifts $50.
 For amusements, candy and pocket money $50. (That is less than $1 week.)
 Tuition fees and books $500.
 "A final word of the wise widows: Money is important. but it is not the main consideration. The most important is the development of childs character and individuality.'
 "A compendium of maternal wisdom. It is enough to overturn the advice of sammy Weller's parent.
 Beware of widders."

PLAN TRUCK FARMS IN GREATER BERLIN All Available Garden Plots and Vacant Land Will
 Be Used

Berlin, March 7-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)- movement, support ed by many women of high position, to utilize all available garden plots and va cant land in Greater Berlin as truck farms for the immediate raising of veget- aDles. has been set on foot. It is the consensus of opinion that the present war required some such step.
 To accomplish this purpose it Is pro- posed to enlist the aid of all available truck farmers and agricultural experts, and to get them to give instruction in vegetable raising, and so far as possible, assist in the actual work. It is expected that it will not be difficult to interest women in large numbers to carry on the work of feeding the people.
 Women willing to assist. 1t is proposed, will first take short free course at the royal gardening institute. The installa- tiol and preparation of courses is in the hands of the war committee on veget- able raising" Interested in the movement are suchswomen as the wife of the minis- ter of war, Frau Wild won Hohenborn; thes Countess of Brockdorff, the Elm perors chief lady in waiting; Faulein von Gersdorff and the wife of the late Minis ter Of State Frau von Boettlicher.

City Managing As a Profession

From the CnlcagO Tr1bune
 Illinois has at least two "city mana gers" of the new type, and it is no vio- lent presumption that she is interested in the progress of the city manager plan of administration. With what amaze Inent one head. some years back, the items from Germany telling us of the Teutonic way of electing mayors-of ad- vertising for them all over the empire and giving a trained man the position regardless of residence, politics or what not! Now the idea seems far less start ling, We are not as yet thinking of ad- vertising for our mayors, but in conjunc- tion with the commission form of gov ernment or notifications of that form we are slowly developing the science of city munaging and the profession of city man. ager.
 A City Managers association came into existence a few weeks ago. The latest report showed about 19 cities and villages under the city manager plan, and several communities are about to submit the same plan to referendum. The Univer- sity of Wisconsin has established course for would-be city managers. and 1t seems very liberal and practical one.

UNUSUAL MODESO WAR IN MOUNTAINS Germans Slowly Dislodged French From Heights
 Near Muelhausen

I Berlin, March 7.-(Correspondence of the Associated ess.)-Unusual modes of warfare were seen on a mountain by the queer name of Hartmannsweiler-K -Kopf I near Steinbach in Alsace in January The top of the mountain form a plateau, 1000 feet high, looking down upon the Rhine valley to the northwest of Muel- hausen. In peaceful times 1t Is favorite resort for the geologists and botanists of Strassburg and Freibury universities. During the hard fighting which occurred there in January, Alphine riflemen of the French army were in possession of the plateau, which they had fortified with | timber and earthworks. When the Ger 1 mans came to dislodge them, the Alphine r'flemen shot at them not only from be- hind their defenses, but from the tree- | tops as well. A number of them had clothed themselves in black goatskin and fir trees. From this coicealment they were able to pick off the advancing Ger mans with fatal accuracy.
 The Germans were at further disad- vantage because they were all lowlanders, While the French defenders came from the mountain districts and understood how to take the most advantage of the topography. The Germans, however, suc- ceeded in capturing the saddle of the
 
 them off from communication with other nountain-tops from which they might receive endorsements. Having succeeded in this, the Germans spent several weeks holding their position until they could bring up artillery and prepare thoroughly for their attack. When this finally be- gan, they had already ascertained de- tails of the French position so accurately that one of their first artillery shots dropped into the officers dug-out killing two of the three. The remaining office/ soon surrendered with his little band of 15o riflemen.
 These mid-winter operations were car. | ried on successfully against number of mountain tops held by the French, not Withstanding that the Germans had but recently been converted from cavalry men | to mountain-climbers. The mountains were deeply overlaid with snow and the attacking forces did not get a warm meal for weeks. Only after they had cleared the mountains of the French could they take time to erect log huts and begin | to cook their meals.

COLONY WITHOUT
 BREAD WINNERS
Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon Suffering
 for France

St. Pierre, Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, March 7.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-A colony with out bread winners. Such is this tiny in- suiar possession of France the last re- maining vestige of her once great em- pire in North America. The '.catch'' upon which the whole industry of the Islands is dependent is known to be promising, but the fishing vessels swing idly at their moorings, the dories are nestled on the beach, and the travis are coiled in tubs on shore. Every able bodied man who could meet the requirements for mili- tary duty-there were 564 in all-has crossed the seas to fight for tse mother 1and
 Nearly 5000 miles of ocean separates St. Pierre from the battlefiekis and the St Pierrais, while intensely loyal, know lit- tie of the causes of the war and of its progress. Since the beginning of hostili- ties strict censorship of the cable has permitted only vague tidings from the outside world to reach the fisher folk Occasionally mysterious message from Paris was received by the civil adminis- trator, M. Chaubaud, and one day the lat ter posted a notice announcing that the time had come for St. Pierre and Mioue- lon to play It's part in the world trag- edy. All able bodied men of fighting years were ordered to be at the pier at Si30 o'clock on the morning of Feb ruary 8. Two hours after the time set the steamer Chicago dropped anchor in the harbor, and when she sailed again only the old men, women and children remained.
 The French government is paying % cents day to the wife of every fish erman soldier with an additional all lowance of 10 cents for each child. The winters are long and hard and fuel is a prime necessity. The soil of the is- lands is barren and all foodstuffs must be imported Many are suffering for the cause of the allies.
 Instead of the great sailing fleet that usually comes from France for the spring fishing it is expected that steam trawlers will be sent These can be op- erated by a comparatively few men, thus releasing thousands of fishermen for service on the warships. In this way the French government hopes to meet the re- quirements of their market for codfish.
 The St. Pierrais, generally loyal, do not appreciate fully their relation to the mother country. Several years ago a civil administrator, sent here by the Paris government, aroused the hostility of the fishermen who made a demonstra- ton in front of the officials residence. hosted the stars and stripes above the principal buildings and declared their in tention to annex the islands to the United States. Still earlier they forced an un- popular governor to flee from the colony and seek safety in Canada.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
 One cent will buy enough electric cur rent to make your sewing machine take S0,00O stitches. Your grandma needed two very long days of steady and rapid sew ing to put as many stitches as that in your new garment.
 But since your grandma was not paid wages and reckoned nat her time in dol lars and cents, the garment upon which She worked two days cost less than that on which you make one penny's worth of electricity take 5000 stitches.
 Your grandma had invested only a few pennies of capital in her sewing outfit, but you must invest perhaps $50 in a sewing machine and the contrivance which introduces the electric current to its wheels. Then it is impossible to sew with lightning unless your house is prop erly wired. so that more capital must be invested for that purpose.
