Woman is in the happy position Of
not needing any instruction in the sci
ence of success. She is endowed by
nature with all the knowledge that is
required by her in order 20 obtain
success in life; and the lesser arts
that may not perhaps have been born
in her, she acquires later on entirely
without assistance.
According to the prevailing ar
rangements in the world by far the
largest number Of women COnfine
their efforts 10 one form Of success
that of pleasing men. IN order 10 at
tain this end, all that is required is
that they be pretty. or have some
thing striking about them.
There are misguided minds who
have hit upon the infelicitous within Of
founding colleges for the higher edu-
cation Of women. In these the poor
creatures are taught drawing, drum
ming on the piano. numbering foreign
languages with an absurd accent and
confusing historical dates-that is TO
say, just those very things that later
on will make them objects of horror
to the men
The scheme of such establishments
can only have originated in the brains
Of pining old maids or vindictively
disposed married cripples who are
used TO being thrashed by their
wives. 1t displays an absolute ignor-
ance of the true life aims Of women.
The Orientals in their primitive ira
ditional sagacity regard matters from
a far more rational point of view.
Among them the girl learns nothing
beyond singing, dancing, playing the
lutte, telling stories. dyeing her nails
with henna and the edges OF her eye
lids with charcoal-that is to say. the
arts that make her an object of desire
in the eyes of men, which afford her
the opportunity of displaying her
charms in the most favorable light
and which will fascinate her male
partner in life and permanently at
tach him TO her.
Our poor girls of the west are in
consequence of the prevailing system
of education artificially prevented
from giving way TO their instincts,
though this would promote their in
terests with much more certainty than
all the specialized and unspectacled
teachers in their institutions.
1t is only when they have left be
hind them forever the absurd hard
ship Of school life that they become
able freely TO follow their natural i'm
pulses and develop themselves as they
were designed to do. Then of their
own accord they acquire the art Of

themselves up with rice powder, OF
wearing a bold style of costume, of

a way that what gives offense in the

their fans in the most expressive
manner of causing their eyes to roam
about in an inviting manner. Of in
dulging in little airs, charming ges-
lures, and sweet, dainty little pOuts,

HOW TO TELL WHEN \ MAN Is
SMOKING TOO MUCH.

In the February Womans Home
Companion Rollin Lynde HART writes
an article entitled Swearing or
which is the confession of an ex-
smoker. He says shat there are some
clear cases of men who are smoking
too much. and then he goes on in part
as follows:
What constitutes a clear case? Au-
thorities differ So do individuals
What is one smokers death warrant
may be another smokers quiz TO a
miserable longevity For nv owh part.
1 am reluctant 70 lay down any hard
and fast rule for the detection and
conviction of a clear case, and yet
those / chiefly suspect are these:
The man who smokes at his work
as well as at home
THE man who wants a pipe before
breakfast.
The man who must light cigarets
between the courses Of a restaurant
dinner.
The man who looks as if he had
lost his last friend whenever he is de-
prived of smoke for two or three
hours.
THE man whose hand trembles.
who has off days. and who thinks he
must smoke in order TO work.
Nov when woman observes that
her husband. father, brother. or son

ications it is time she opened up on
him with a good conscience. She will
not be asking him to exhibit phenOm-
email will-pOwer in his rebellion
against smoke; what he calls his
slavery rests far more lightly upon
him than he realizes. After his first
tussle, he will be able to carry cigars
about in his pockets or keep them in
his house for his friends, as I do, and
not feel the faintest craving for

The expOsition's travertine menag-
erie, which already includes a Won
derful variety Of species in the statu-
airy that ornaments the exhibit pal
aces the courts and the bizarre struc-
lures of the Zone, is to be further
augmented by the addition of four gil
gantic dinosauri. The plaster zoo al

several camels bullOcks, oxen, a
whole troop of horses, two great os-
triches. several classic and two Chi

habitat in the palace Of mines and
metallurgy, where it will guard the
exhibit of the Union Oil Co.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

Considering the amount of litera-
ture that is issued monthly, weekly.
even daily from the presses of pub
fishing houses in all parts of the
world, it would not be astonishing if
subjects to "dissertate" upon should
some day run out"
The thought is suggested by the ap-
pearance on the South Bend public Ii
brary shelves of a little volume called
Adventure While Preaching the Cos
pei of Beauty" by Nicholas Vachel
Lindsay. This is intended as no re-
Election on the book-adverse refiec-
ton, that is-but Mr.. Lindsay seems
to have gone TO a great deal OF trou-
BILE as we'll as a long distance to find
something to write about.
In the summer of 1912 he walked
from his home town. Springfield,
through Missouri and Kansas, up and
down Colorado and into New Mexico.
His rules were Ito have nothing to do
with cities, railroad money. baggage
or fellow tramps. Such wages as
made 1 sent home. starting out broke
again. spending just enough for one
days recuperation out of each pile
l always walked penniless. My
baggage was practically nil"
For his board and lodging, when he
didn't help harvest, he offered
Rhymes to Be Traded for Bread"
with the Gospel Of Beauty" that it
contained And this new book is
simply Mr.. Lindsay's story of that ex-
traordinary walk with an account of
the various adventures that befell him
and with a number Of charming
poems interposed
So long as we have mentioned his
name. il might be well 10 give his own
little rhyme which explains its pro-
nunciatiOn:

elected "man of destiny" raised mo.
ney almost over night to mobilize the
Ottoman army.
How poor, nearly ybankrupt Turkey
was able to get together good sized
force Of troops for participation in the
European struggle has been one of the
wonders of the war. 1t was thus that
Enver Pasha accomplished it.
"We must have an army at once to
defend our neutrality" he told his col
leagues when the conflict began.
"That's impossible" cried the 9th
er ministers in one voice. Turkey
hasn't money enough to equip a single
regiment properly Besides, we have
not enough men,"
"Leave that to me" rejoined Enver.
"In the first place, II threaten death
to every man who fails to answer the
mobilization call. After a few have
been shot and they see we mean busi.
ness, we will have men enough.
A Clever Scheme,
"Then we III announce that those
who desire exemption can have it for
43 pounds ($l90), and that will give us
all the money we need"
The war minister proved a true pro-
phet. His plan was put in practice and
men and money poured in. Employers
put up funds not only for themselves
but in many cases, for their employees.
They had to do it or lose the latter's
services.
Among other people the foreign am
bassadors were hard hit. All the EN-.
bassies employ number of Turkish
