MINDS VARY LITTLE
SMALL. DIFFERENCE OF THOSE OF
MEN AND WOMEN.
President Of Smith College Has Given
Expression to Views That Will
Be Received With More or
Less Approval.

That there is very little difference
between the minds of men and the
minds OF women, and what difference
there may be is caused by personal
ity, and not by sex, is the opinion of
DIR. Marion LIE Roy Smith, president
of Smith college.
THE differences that still exist in
the education of boys and girls are
not so much due to psychological diff
ferences between them as to social
conditions" declared Doctor Smith in
defending this theory. They are
fulfill in the world. For instance, to
date, and probably for some time to
come, more men than women will do
the worlds work as mechanical en-
gineers. And so there are naturally
more institutions to train men for this
work than there are for women
Put already the Massachusetts IN
stitute Of Technology has opened its
doors to women, and I don't doubt
that before long more conservative
professional schools will follow suit,
or they will be duplicated by similar
conditions in schools for women.
In Smith college, while there has
been IN increase of l per cent in the
proportion of men employed during
my administration, the relative i'm
portance of women on the faculty has
increased. The college now has a
woman dean, a position formerly held
by a man. There are sixteen women
and three men in administrative po-
sitions, where there used to be six
women and two men, and there are as
many women heads of departments as
there ever were. One significant rea
son why we have not more women
on the staff is that there are not more
adequately trained women.
"As to economic independence, l be-
lieve that every woman should be
brought up to earn her own living,
If necessary" said the college presi-
dent. but / am not willing to say that
a wife and mother in a home does
not earn hers. | believe that in most
cases she does. The average mar
riage is a partnership, in which the
wife does her share in keeping up the
home and caring for the children. The
children belong equally to the man
and the woman, and are a joint respon-
sibility.
& certainly do want women to have
all their rights. What / look for
ward to is the day when no woman
shall be at a disadvantage. because of
her sex, and when no woman shall be
able to take an unfair advantage be-
cause OF it. Both conditions exist to-
day

Modern Earmino.

United States Secretary of Agri-
culture Houston was describing at
a dinner in Washington the changes
that have come over farming
methods.
It's an age of machinery today"
he said. 1.-The milking machine has
succeeded the milkmaid. The phono-
graph has succeeded the melodeon.
The motor pillow has succeeded the
horse pillow.
There's an appropriate story Adopt
a young farmer who loved two girls
e~qually-the one slim and petite, the
other tall and herculean.
"The young farmer in this dilemma
asked his fathers advice. The ia
Their, putting thoughtfully on a Havana
for your modern farmer is too pros
porous to smoke domestic cigars
answered:
There's so much machinery used
in farming nowadays. James, that a
big, strong wife is hardly needed. l
advise you to take the little one
she'll eat less"

French Army Mustache.

We know that our soldiers have
been allowed to do away with their
facial hair. 1t has been shown that
the soldiers of Napoleon remained
freely b~eardless and that the absence
of hair beneath the nose accorded
with the views of ~hygienists. The
opinion, c%oElbated by the mustache
school, has just surrendered. An CT
fetal circular recalls to the soldiers
of France that the wearing of the
mustache is military, that the razored
face is nOt~sso and that the entire
army should hereafter avoid showing
the upper lip. Thus, the mustache
has triumphed after having been dis
cussed, decried and almost prescribed.

left a noble example for her
loved ones, which is a solace to
our troubled minds.
With her pure christian spirit,
she was always pleasant and had
a smile of good cheer, ever look
ing for the happy things of life,
and was happy because she could
make others about her see the
sunshine. realizing fully that the
world was not made for her alone
and did not expect the best it
had to offer.
Her husband and four children
survive her. She was &c years
of age and had lived the greater
part of her life with her parents
near Shannon.
Her many friends are sad at
heart, but time will reveal that
all of Gods plans are best. A
long life may not be the sweetest
gift God sends to His jewels, but
sometimes the sable pail of death
conceals the fairest born His love
can send.
Wen meet her upyonder,
Where hope never dies
Nor the bonds of friendship are riven,
In the sweet bloom Of youth,
In the sunlight of love,
Wen meet Johnnie in heaven.

About November 18th three cars will be loaded with
supplies for our Orphanage at Jackson, Miss. One from

is right now.
We want for these cars everything to eat and wear:
Corn, Meat, Peas, MoLAssEs, Preserves, Dried Fruit,
Canned Goods, Butter, Eggs, Dressed Chickens, Etc.
Also Flour in barrels and sacks, Groceries of all sorts,
Dry Goods, Clothing, Etc.

KITCHEN WORK SHOULD BE
 A SERVICE, NOT A DRUDGE
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT Fly MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

Few people in thinking of the work of the kitchen, especially here in the south. where so much is left to the negro cook, consider the real value of scientific food preparation, the ques tion of suitable diet never occurs to them, the necessity of not having an overdose of starch and too little pro- teid or an overdose of proteid and too little starch. They seldom think of the diatetics and nutrition in the serv- ing of food materials. It's all right just so there is enough and it's clean with no other thought behind it.
 It probably never occurred to us that that might be the reason the children are cross and the husband feels slug gish after meal and the housekeeper
 is perfectly at loss to know what to do.
 The study of domestic science has now become necessity and is rec ognized as one of the branches Of higher education, all the normal schools in the country consider this branch of work part of their course as teachers are required to have domestic science tidcccS, cSPctldiy tHc ltdtueTS Ol tue rural districts. Many diseases found In the rural districts are attributed to improper cooking of foodstuffs, the teacher in the country prepared to | instruct the pupil becomes a benefac- | tor to the neighborhood.
 A very recent announcement from
 the Woman's College of Alabama in 1 Montgomery tells of their teacher of 1 domestic science at that school and is | particularly interesting news to Bir-
 mingham when we are being splen- didly entertained and enlightened our
 selves along these lines. A visit from l the famous teacher. Mrs. Betty Lyles | Wilson, is a landmark in the field of | culinary art in this city. Miss De Col I yer, the teacher in Montgomery, holds a diploma from the teachers college Columbia university, New York city l the same school in which Mrs. Wilson | is the instructor of domestic science In speaking of the new teacher in l Montgomery the necessity for teaching I domestic science was emphasized.

There is no reason why woman should not
 run her household on the scientific and l artistic lines. Men are constantly look ing for new business methods in theii
 effort to distance their competitors
 They win success in systematc plan ping.
 The conscientious housekeeper now

also very economical everything that she eoncocts is as beautiful as it is possible Tor hands to make it. She s an artist Just as much as the person that paints the most beautiful picture in the world, or the person who makes the most beau tiful music. Mrs. Wilson is really an ex ; cellent example of a woman doing a woman's work. She was an invalid for F months and it was during this time of trial that Aunt Betty,-frst received "her calling" not a calling exactly, but a chance of discovering her wonderful genius
 Unlike other cooks who have become famous because they were able to make something that no one else could make Mrs. Wilson has no secrets; in fact she is willing and does give to the public each day all of her recipes, and each night while in her room writes others that are even better. These also she tells, but her wonderful brain is filled with an inces- sant supply of wholesome recipes for the dema nding public.
 Mrs. Wilson loves her work-in fact. it is hard for her to talk or even think of anything other than her Delightful cooking schools She doesn't like for her lessons to be called lectures, but only talks given while demonstrating.
 Yesterday for the opening class the first demonstration consisted of three con- gealed bullions. tomato, beef and orange.

 The orange was served in oranges scooped out and out jack-o Lantern. Each pui- lion was garnished with celery. The next was a Japanese wafer, and the third was an olive relish sandwich served with Mar unique salad
 The most beautiful demonstration that was given yesterday was chocolate pud- ding, served in rings made of pink ana green roses. The recipe for each dish demonstrated will be printed and dis- tributed among the classes, which VIII continue through Friday. Mrs. wilson has designed cake for each state ana she usually gives this cake on the last day of her school. Every lady in Birming ham is invited by The AgeHerald, the merchants and Mrs. Wilson to attend these lessons, which will be given free daily. in the Merchants Permanent Ex- hibit hall, beginning at 3 o'clock, and 1t will certainly be an opportunity over looked should anyone not go.
 An unusual and most delightful use was made of Knox gelatine at the initial lec- ture yesterday, when Mrs. Wilson dem onstrated the three different kinds oi bouilon, all based on Knox. All three were of the filled variety. Every house. wife present got decidedly new idea or the possibilities of Knox gelatine and were thoroughly convinced that Mrs. Will son was right when she said Knox gela tine may be delightfully."- used in so many ways that no housekeeper should be without it.
