MARRIAGE AS A VOCATION
Writer Thinks, However, That Prep
aration Should BE Made for Il by
Both Parties.

Marriage should be looked upon as
a vocation and not 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
mother, has been surprised that be.
ing a wife and mother is a pro
fession, the successful performance
Of whose duties requires all my ef-
fort and all my time," feminist"
thinks that women generally do not
realize this or refuse to face 1t, that
young women contemplating matri.
mony should be made to realize that
they are choosing a profession quite
as important as medicine. law or bust
ness. and that, II possible. 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 IL it could be carried through.
But as there are two paths in mar
riage it would be very one-sided II 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. II we have

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, COW
ering conditions 100 miles OF 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
500 miles apart. Today no vessel of
any consequence plies the oceans with
out its system Of wireless, and its ef-
fectiveness in receiving news of the
present European war is well known.

SCIENCE IN ITS EARLY YEARS
Efforts Of Truly Great Men Largely
Nullified by the Work Of the
Sophists.

And so 1t happened that, about $50
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 period Of origins.
1t saw the physical researches of Py-
thagoras. and the historical studies of
Hecataeus. In the fifth century Greek
learning reached its climax. This age
was resplendent with the names of
Thucydides, who wrote history with
critical care; of Heraclitus, who con-
ceived of universal reign of law, and
of Hippocrates, the Father of Medi-
cine. Its greatest character was So

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 a 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.

Gutierrez speciality of running houses, bridges
and railroads earned for him the title Of "The
Destroyer" He never displayed any such mill
tary ability as Villa; but destruction is popular
with the Mexican sodiery, 1t 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 a demand to Carr, ordering
him to resume all the Mazipul industries at once.
1t must be remembered that the British company
had been closed down for months. There was no
fuel. cars, railroad tracks, and there was
no financial basis. Yet the order from the ex.
watchman read to start up the works, North
Mexico is now paciied and there is no excuse for
delay"
1t was physical impossibity, so Carr went
to Carranza with a final protest. CarranZa in
formed Carr he could delay resumption. and
for this Gutierrez seized 100000 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 q
band of looters. The scenes accompanying his
evacuation of Mexico City. it is learned were
disgraceful The national treasury 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

The now ridiculous Carranza is set up at Vera
Cruz His cause is hopelessly lost. Among his
remaining leaders, however. Gen. Alvaro Obregon
looms large He is undoubtedly a strong man.
He has kept Gen. Lucio Blanco in line for Car
rama and saw that the retreat from Mexico City
was not an entire rout. However. Obregon is q
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
welldefined conviction among the American army
officers along the border that Maytorena could
