For some reason or other the South American

there it is possible for man, perhaps
sailor to be bitten by fever-laden mosquito
just before he sails for another port and to carry
with him the poison. 1t is held by the high think

yellow fever exists should be forced to stamp

An able-bodied and perfectly willing native

of gold for his batting work and he, with others
who afterward employed, said 1t easy

When the tent had million more mosqui-

Other tents were pitched and in each was sta

the South at Sewanee, Tenn. where he studied
from 1869 to 1875, graduating with the degree
of bachelor of arts. He graduated in medicine
at the Bellevue Hospital Medical college in 1879.
He served on the house staff of the Bellevue
hospital from 1879 to 1880; entered the United
States army in 1880, and served in Florida and
on the western frontier until the Spanish-Amer-
lean broke out in 1898. He went to Cuba
with the expedition which captured Santiago
After the fall of Santiago General Gorgas con-
tracted typhoid fever, and back to the
United States. He went with the expeditionary
force which occupied Havana in December, 1898,
where he remained health officer until the fall
of 1902. During his incumbency health officer
of the city of Havana the army medical board
made a discovery with regard to yellow fever
and found that it was conveyed by the Stegomyia
mosquito. AS health officer with his sub
ordnates he devised plans and measures whereby
this discovery put into practical service
AS result of these measures Havana was
freed from yellow fever entirely in about eight
months, although the disease had been there
continuously for the previous $50 years For
this work he promoted by special act OF
congress from the grade of major to that OF
colonel

Evolution Of an Aristocrat.

When Hanch Glover was a farm
hand, relates the Howard Courant, he
ran away and married his employers
daughter, and he had never worn a
linen collar or nightgown, and his
wife had to nag at him to get HIM to
wash his feet every Saturday night.
When he moved to town and built his
new house she had the fight Of her
life to get him to have bathtub and
hot water equipment built in. But she
won out, and now Hanch doesn't see
how he ever got along without it. In
fact, he monopolizes the bathroom and
calls it his room, doing all his dress
ing and undressing in it, and his wife
can't get inside the door until after
he is through or leaves the house. The
other morning when he found long
hairs in his brush and some hairpins
lying on the shelf he snorted and
jawed around till he made himself
very unpleasant, and now he is plan
ming to have bathroom put in which
shall be his exclusively and where his
wife will not be allowed to butt in and
clutter it up with her powder puffs
and tooth brushes and funny looking
fixin's. Hanch Glover has changed

stands unique. In order to honor him congress
in way upset its traditions and changed line
OF legislative action which for years ran one
unvarying Last spring the congress of
the United States paid General Gorgas the high
est compliment that it is within its power to pay.
1t gave him the thanks of the congress of the
United States; it promoted him to the grade of
major general, and it changed established
custom to enable him to remain at the head
of the medical crops of the army for some
months after the four years allotted for such
service shall have expired

General Gorgas, instead OF being surgeon general
of the army for the term of only four years, will

which any institution of learning can confer

sordid tragedy of Marian Lambert,
17-year-old school girl, whose poison
burned body lies at rest while the
story of her love romance andtragedy
is banded here and there, sorrowed
over or wondered over, and a great
deal of truth has been written of the
need of closer and better understand
ing between mothers and daughters.
Yet it seems to me that the tragedy
of Marian Lambert points to great
er need than that of closer relation
ship between mothers and daughters
"a need that is only being whispered
today, but may as women grow more
accustomed to the little political free
dom they have gained, grow in
strength in their battle for greater
than political freedom that has been
denied them, often with their own ac-
quiescence since time so far back we
cannot lift the veil.
Women's subservience in the
scheme of the sexes has forced wo-
men to make the sex lure their only
appeal The weapon Marion Lambert
is said to have tried to hold over the
head of the boy she loved to bind him
to her and which brought about her
death, whether by murder or suicide,
was the result of the sex lure she had
used, and many more girls than she
have taken the road that leads to dis
honor in the hope that by yielding all
they might gain all.

MARIAN LAMBERT PAID PRICE MANY WOMEN
PAY FOR CUSTOM-SLAVERY OF SEX


despite the fact that her heart and
head and nature may dictate that
there is some appeal in the man that
answers an appeal of hers, she must
deny that appeal or affront the civil
lied custom that makes a woman a
slave of custom and grants a man
freedom of choice.
Then the girl is forced to resort to
that which will not appeal to the
higher instincts of the man, since
custom dictates she may not in any
way attempt to appeal to his intellect
or to his heart without being unmaid-
emily in her camaderie, but she may
use the subtle appeal of sex. She may
not openly seek his society, but she
may throw herself in his way and she
may not openly say to him: 81 think
we could be good friends" but she
may in thousand ways that women
have learned because they have been

an interest that is not very frequently
going to lead to happiness.
There are thousands of women to-
day who know in their hearts they
married not the man they would have
wed could they have had liberty of
choice, had they been free of custom
slavery, but the man who sought
them and the man they took because
they could not have free choice, and

Marriage does not end the sex sIa-
