PORTING THEMSELVES IN
BAYoUS TExAR AND CHICO

While Of course, the "bathtng seas
on" has not been officially opened, the
beautiful weather of yesterday was
too great q temptation for quite a
number Of youths who were at Bayou
Chico, and several of them were in
the water for some time, reporting
'the water fine" Those who were
thus taking the bathing season up so
soon were the envy of a large number
who witnessed them from the bay
shore cars, as the latter made trips
TO and from the reservation.
It was reported that number of
boys on the east side of Bayou Texar
also enjoyed swims, the sparkling
water being too much Of a tempta-
ton to several who had bathing cos
tunes handy, and who used them, to
their great delight.
There are several picnics planned
already for Bayview Park, one Of the
first being the joint outing Of the
Sunday Schools of the First Chris
tian and the Knox Presbyterian
churches, to take place early in June.

LEAP YEAR.

The custom which ordains that a
woman may propose marriage to a
man in leap year dates back seven or
eight hundred years. An act of the
Scottish Parliament, passed about the
year 1928, made it a crime punish
able by fine, for an unattached man
to refuse to become the life partner
of woman who had the courage to
speak we mon she liked"
The custom in milder form is re-
ferred to in a work published in 1906,
entitled "Courtship, Love and Matri-
mony."
Albeit it has now become d part
of the common lave in regarde to So
cial relations of life that as often as
every bissextile year doth return, the
ladys have the sole privilege dur
ing the time it continueth of making
love unto the men, which they doe
either by wordes or by lookes, as to
them it seemeth proper; and, more
over, no man shall be entitled to the
benefit of clergy who doth in any wise
treate her proposal with slight or con-

COTTON STANDARDS ISSUED

Washington, Feb. 10-An illustrated
description of the work of preparing
the official cotton standards of the
United States has been issued by the
Department of Agriculture These
standards were promulgated by the
Secretary of agriculture in December,
1914, in accordance with the provision
of the cotton, futures act and were well
received by the trade. Practically
every important cotton exchange and
spot cotton market of the South has
adopted them, as well as most of the
largest cotton mills and factories.
During the first year after their pro-
mitigation $40 full sets and So frac-
tional sets were shipped by the depart.
ment in this and foreign countries.
The original set is placed in small
safe and stored in one of the vaults
of the United States treasury, while
other sets are stored in vacuum in or
der to preserve their characteristics
of color and leaf.

When your friends tell you how
easily you can succeed in pictures,
thank them as politely as you can, but
do not take their words too much to
heart Our director tells me that the
girls who apply to him for a trial.
because their friends are sure of their
immediate success, are each day num-
erous enough to furnish every pro-
ducing company in the United States
with leading woman. A very few OF
these many applicants will some day
be sure enough leading women, but
they are the ones who will the most
successfully disregard what their
friends have said and consequently be
the more ready to start out with a de
termination to work and wait until
success is theirs.

DAZZLING in Journalism


, who believe that journalism is effemi-
nate as a profession for men. Writ
ing" says Mrs. Gertrude Atherton the
famous novelist and feminist, sis a
woman's job. Men ought to do things,
not write about them. When a man
does nothing but write, his hands get
soft, and his character, too" 1t would
appear from her own admissions that
Mrs. Atherton once nearly fell in love
with a man who was a writer. But
thought saved her in time, she con-
fides to an interviewer Il thought,
Good heavens, the man does nothing
but sit on a three-legged stool and
write little stories all day long, and
peddle them about to the magazines.

CuriOusly enough, a well-knOWn au-
thor masculine, this time), appears
to have a certain measure of sympathy
with Mrs. AthertOn's point of view.
Il WRITE he admits lachrymosely,
"but | would rather be an admiral, or
a trapeze performer, or king, or
champion pugilist. And, thanks to the
feminists, the day is coming when
men will be rescued from writing and
all the other arts, and from intellec-
tual exertiOn generally. These things
will be attended to entirely by women.
The poets, the painters, the sculp-
tors, the philosophers, the lawyers, the
architects, the scientists, will all be
women. Wits are unmanly In the
days to come, we shall despise the
man who thinks. We shall be taught
to estimate Plato and Shakespeare
and Darwin as the weak, unnecessary,
school-miss creatures they were; the
next generation will curl lip at New
ton and Milton as mollycoddles."
This certainly is a melancholy pre-
diction. The world is always pro-
crossing onward and upward and no
decline of human intelligence in such
an order of things is possible.

| The world, at the present day
strikes me as being filled to overflow
| ing with literary aspirants. There
| isn't a man or woman, who, at some
time or other of their existence, hasn't
| firmly believed that the heaven-sent
gift was theirs, and theirs alone. The
period doubtless passes, and the same
| people are. with the immortal Mat
thew Arnold, "still waiting for the
spark from heaven to fall" To their
! friends, at least, this period is consid-
erably more satisfactory than the
| other. Yet the literary aspirant is
always with us, and the curious part
is that those who display real inepti-
tude at the outset are those who are
most enthusiastic in performance.
Eyes, dabble in literary affairs oc-
casionally," remarked young woman
whose ESSAYS" on various philosophy
cal SUBJECTS are in their exceeding
great amateurishness the trial of all
her friends and acquaintance. Not
that the aforementioned literary
achievements have seen the light of
| day either in newspaper or magazine,
enough, failed to convince any editor
that they are suitable" for publlca-
ton. But her long-suffering friends
have to attend strange "seances" and
sessions at the gifted damozeIs house
wherein solemn readings aloud of the
various literary inspirations take
place. This certainly is severe test
of friendship, and it says a great deal
for the young woman's powers of at
Effectiveness that her friendships still
remain intact, and remain pure gold
though tested in such fires.
The woman who writes well is the
one who is least anxious about pub
licity. Good wine needs no bush and
real ability always wins out in the end.
In the whole wide world there is no
more interesting profession than jour
nalisn,. nor one more calculated TO
bring out all that is deepest and most
attractive in human character. The
mind must be ever alert and receptive,
filled to overlooking with a keen in
terest in life, retentive OF new impress
sions, and free from every form of
mental stagnation. There is no more
interesting companion in the world
than the man who writes well, for the |
man who is capable of writing well
has usually powers of conversation
above and beyond his fellow men. 1t
is his business, his profession, to have |
an interesting, well-stocked, attractive |
intellect.
The woman, too, who writes we'll is |
invariably a congenial companion in |
that she. too, has funds of entertaining
and anecdote, which the
average woman does not bother to cul-
tivate. nor could even aspire to, did
she so wish. Women are inclined to
be shade too lethargic where any
strenuous mind-cultivation is con-
cerned.

El Nuevo mexicano., 1916-12-21

Democracy. not mIlitarism,' is the way
General Wood describes the plan Of univer.
sal military training in this country, 80 pow
effully advocated BY himself and General
Hugh A. Scott, chief Of starr OF the u. S.
army, before the senate committee on mill
tary affairs yesterday.
The failure Of the volunteer system as
exemplified in the Mexican border niobili
cation is characterized by these soldiers as
~"lamentabIe,'' terrific" and with even
stronger adiectives. The warming to the
nation was made a astrong and. unequiyo-
cal and stern as such soldiers could make t.
THE task at present Is to educate the
people Of the United States into the knowl-
edge long ago attained by the nations Of
Europe which he have admired as sturdiest
and most Democratic-that training to de-
TEND ones country in time Of need is as
much a civic duty as training to administer
her domestic affairs III time Of peace; that
it is essentially democratic to have, not a
standing army segregated from the nation,
but a nation ready to become an army when
need arises; where there is no separate
military class, where ability to bear arms
does not differentiate n citizen from his
fellow citizens. =
Insurance against War-that is the vital
need Of a country devoted to peace, the
worlds exponent OF peace. whose influence
for peace is negatived and nulified and Grip,
pied at every turn because the country IL
confessed at home and known abroad to be
unable to enforce a single demand for the
Safeguarding Of her own rights and pre-
starvation Of her own peace.
The tremendous moral ? power Of three
million men--as proposed by the chief Of
staff-trained in arms, to enforce peace, Is
something to grip the imagination. Multi
ply the status before the world Of Holland
and Switzerland hundreds and hHndreds or
times and yon would have the prestige
which such a United States would possess
among the nations.
And the most important result Of such q
system in this country after all would be
THE efficiency resulting in civil life; the
elevation Of the American physical stand
ard, the need Of which was SO strikingly
pointed out at the meeting Of life insur-
ance presidents; the effect upon the morale
OF the whole nation. I
After all, all the preparedness without
man-power is futile; all engines Of war de-
signed for our use in enforcing peace and
establishing national security are SO much
junk without men who know how to use
them.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands Of
Americans continue calmly in the belief,
despite the awesome lesson which Is before
them, that a country which wants to be
peaceful has the power to be peaceful, how
soever helpless It may be to resist aggres-
sion. Every warning is a little more omi-
nous; THIS last one could hardly be more
explicit. Will It be Needed at all?
