THE VAMPIRE MOTHER

Charlotte P. Gilman in N. '. Sun)
 The sweetest, tenderest, noblest, thing we know is motherhood; and we nave so garlanded that great idea with votive flowers, so clouded it with incense, so long poured liba- ton and prostrated ourselves in worship, that We forget to look be- hino the world at the fact.
 There are mothers and mothers.
 There are, in overwhelming ma jority, the loving, patient, devoted, self-sacrificing mothers we all know, pouring their lives out for their children without stint.
 But there are others" also, There are the shallow, ignorant mothers too many of them-who refuse to nurse their children, because it will "spoil their figure" or Keeps them in too much;" and, back of these, those women, who dress like women, hut are not women-for they re- fuse to be mothersi
 There is the whole large group of irresponsible mothers who promptly +nrn over the real care of their babies to any ignorant young servant they please to hire.
 But the kind which is worst, pass inc the negative shirkers who refuse motherhood and the lazy or indifer- ent who refuse its cares and duties are those whom we. may call Yam pire Mothers-who live on their children.
 These from the first demand gratitude for what they do. They dwell largely on the duties of chil- dren," on how much their children lowe them" And as soon as son O. daughter is old enough they begin to collect the debt.
 No one planes a young man for going away from home to work, but too many do blame a young woman; call her selfish and ungreatful. 1t is her business to stay at home and perform her filial duties in person. Mothers, widowed or not, will sit peacefully down and accept the sacrifice of a daughters young life, knowing all the time that when they are dead the girl will be too old for any real life of her own.
 Sometimes, 1t is the son. We see most amiable, most lovely, most de voted mothers, only middle aged, quite able to earn their own living, but far from willing, fasten like a vampire on a hard working fellow and keep him poor. He cannot save: he cannot marry; he must take care" of his mother.

PARASOL MONOPLANES

By far the greatest number of flying machines used at the front are biplanes. because the latter machines not only land easily ana rise more quickly than monoplanes, but they can carry a greater weight of bombs and petrol
 An exception to the general rule is what is known as the "parsol plane" It is really a biplane with the lower pair of wings removed, the engine, pilot and observer all sitting under the upper plane. and thus giving rise to the nickname of "parasol."
 This type of monoplane is chiefly used for directing the fire of the guns. In an ordinary monoplane it is difficult for the observer to see below him.

THE COST OF DIGGING IN"

It is a matter of curious interest to know that twice as much dirt has been moved on the western line of the war by the French and Ger man soldiers in preparing the trench warfare, as was taken from the Panama Canal.
 For more than 800 miles from Switzerland to the channel, four five and six trenches have been dug on either side of the dead line, each trench averaging five and one half feet in depth, dug by private soldiers, with little war spades and expenditure of human effort almost without parallel in peaceful times
 But curious as this item of the record may seem, how many, as they affix their attention to it, will con- slider for moment what it must mean to the permanent fertility Of the richest plains of Europe, which have suffered such an enormous up- turning of barren subsoils.
 Those who have had occasion to note the slow degre by which our Iowa clays. left in the process of surface drainage, take on culti- vated and civilized appearance will be able to form some notion of what is ahead of France when the work of restoration begins. It will be years before the farmer will harvest even half crop on the acres of this trench warfare.
 If there were nothing else to condem the insane exhibition of folly in Europe it would be the energy that has been spent in de- stroying the fertility of France. If anything could be more hopelessly and criminally ridiculous than liv- ing in ditches like rats, it would be the waste of energy expended in diging the ditches.

DISCOVER PLOT
 JUST IN TIME
HUERTA WAS HEADING THE REVOLUTIONARY PARTY
 WHEN ARRESTED

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. i0-The former chief lieutenant and cousin of General Pascal Orozco, now a prisoner at Fl Paso, who was re- ported a few days ago of having made a confession of the alleged plot to restore Huerta to power III Mexico, has reiterated his previous statement, in which he duplicates several former officers of the army under Huerta.
 In his reiteration Orozco detailed the story of alleged plans for an uprising that was backed by Mexl- cans in half dozen states. Huerta was in New York at the time the revolution was being arranged, but was ready for launching the scheme to seixe Juarez and make it the provisional capital of Mexico. Then came his arrest, but this did not pre- vent Orozco from attempting to carry out the original plans. Gen eral Orozco crossed into Mexico, jumping his bond given in the United tates and joined his cousin in an endeaver to secure arms and ammunition. Subsequently, the cous- in was arrested in Texas for at tempting to take arms across into Mexico. The general was killed some weeks later while heading a large body of men collected and a. waiting a commander.
 A part of the confession of Jose Orozco that was not made public in full at the time follow:
 ''There was s11 100000 behind the SHuerta movement, and the former clerical party in Mexico was backing it. Pascual Orozco, Jose Orozco Isabell Gomez Robello, former sec retary to Orozco, now living in San Antonio, and Gen. Jose Ynez Salaz- ar, now in prison in New Mexico were to have been the Huerta gen. erals who were to launch the revolt As soon as they captured Juarez, T Huerta was to have pronounced it his provisional capital. Six thous- and rifles had been ordered for the revolt, also sixty machine guns"

CARRANZA AND HIS PROBLEMS
{ New York Sun)

Unlike the famous Pancho Villa General Carranza is not a pictur. esque individual. There is none ot the glamor and romance about hin with which Villa is credited. He is essentially q man of letters, a stu dent and scholar. He abhore war fare; his main object in life is de 'clared to De to bring about peace ana tranquility in his strife-torn coun try. This .s~a basic q lference be tween him and Villa.
 General Carranza is over six feet tall, and broad shouldered, and he carries himself like a military man His snow-white beard and his dark end eyeglasses give him the ap- pearance of patriarch. One of the characteristics which impressed me forcibly when 1 was with him was his coolness and apparent lack of en- thusiasm. He does not seem to pos sess the vivacity and exuberance so common among the Latins. He is rather of serious and meditative nature, and in that he impressed me to be more Anglo-Saxon than Span ish.
 Among the people General Car range is known as the Silent Stu dent" and the librarian" In reality, however he is far from be- ing what is suggested by such terms of description. While reticent and apparently slow, he waxes warm and enthusiastic whenever you touch the subject of the revolution in Mexico. l have seen him on such an occasion and l thought that the 57-year-old man had suddenly become a young ster of 18.
 General Carranza does not like to be considerend a military man. He has no pretentions to the glories of the battlefield. Such things he leaves to his generals. He is distinctiveIv civilian and has constantly plead ed the cauuss of the man who does not carry rifle, who does not fight. His title of general is merely one of courtesy, and the title by which he desires to be known among the peo- pie of Mexico is: The First Chief of the Constitutionalist Power of the Republic of Mexico.
 General Carranza realizes what a gigantic task he undertook when he promised the United States and the Latin American republics to pacifv Mexico. And for that very reason he refused to enter Mexico City fill he had gone over the ground his generals have conquered and made a thorough personal inspection. He knows that great deal of hard work is still in store for him. but he is going about it with the same determination which has character ized his fight during the past three years.

PARER SHIRTS FOR SOLDIERS

Paper shirts. made in Japan, are now being served out to the Russian soldiers for use in the cold and wet weather, which is rapidly approach ing on the eastern front. A number of these paper shirts were used by the Russians last winter, and they proved to be much warmer and cheaper than ordinary shirts.
 The paper used is called ''hash- ikirazu" and is made from the bark of the mulberry tree. It has been used by the Japanese army and people for many years, its anly drawback being that it cannot be washed.

Nearly all the moleskins used for making the fur garments that are now so fashionable are imported from Europe. But the Scientific American remarks that American farmers may turn the eplt of moles into a source of profit, as the United States Biological Survey re- ports that the common moles of our Eastern States supply a skin actual ly superior to that of the foreign market.

EXTRACTING TAR FROM GAS

Electricity is being employed with success at Detroit coke oven for the purpose of removing tar from artificial gas in the purifying pro- cess. The gass is passed through highly ionized field, which is pro- duced by a high-tension discharge of current ranging as high as &C., 900 volts, with the result that the tar forms in large drops, which are then easily separated.
