BOSTON, Jan. 16-Are women the
principal buyers Of immoral books In
Boston? nv
Looks startling enough at first
glance, until one learns that local
Judge, speaking from the bench, vent
on record as holding the opinion that
such literature has a special appeal
for fair readers. t
This little remark, which has caused
two Of Boston's most successful wom-
en- to rally to their guns" was
brought forth when certain store
keeper was being tried before the said
Judge on the charge Of having and Of
fering for sale immoral pictures.
The accused man, Just to prove that
he was being unjustly charged, ex-
claimed that his pictures could hard
ly be immoral, as women were his
principal customers.
But the viewpoint Of the Judge and
the viewpoint Of the storekeeper sad
ly differed. THAT women are the
principal customers for these pic
lures is no criterion that they are not
immoral" said the Judge. For" he
continued, women are the principal
customers for immoral books"
It is here that Mrs. Clio Bracken.
Take Exception to Charge.
Of Brighton, notable woman sculpt-
or, and Miss Bertha Badger, an ex-
pert on all questions pertaining to en-
ployment, the founder and president Of
the Employment Problem Associa-
ton, enter upon the scene.
Are women the principal customers
for immoral books?
what If they are?" answers Mrs.
Bracken. II dare say they are, and in
one way this fact is to their credit"
she continued, with fire in her eyes.
sBut they are not, that is the very
point" says Miss Badger. "That man
doesn't know what he is talking about,
He is just like the rest Of the mem
trying hard to tag women with some
thing they don't deserve" 81
Seen from Different Angles.
Mrs. Bracken being an artist, sees
the accusation from an angle that Is
totally different from that Of Miss
Badger, who is an expert in quite a
different line. Miss Badger is stu
dent Of economics at Boston Univer-
slty in addition to conducting active
work in solving the employment prob
lem. Miss Badger talks to over q
thousand unemployed girls week.
~ suppose women are the principal
buyers Of immoral books. so-called,
but there is a reason" began Mrs.
Bracken, while she carefully kept on
modelling a beautiful bust Of her beat
tiful little daughter. What am 60
ing to say, won't be like music to the
ears of man, but facts are facts.
Some Times It's Curiosity.
"You see, women are sort Of kept
away from that which Is risque. 1t Is
quite different with man. The aver
age boy at II knows more than the
maiden Of rs. Therefore lit is here
that make my point, the story which
the girl Of 20 would call risque would
seem tame to the youth of IL simply
because he knows more than could
ever be told in a book. He has heard

Record. "Chief Of these Is nicotine,

Hare says: 'One thirty-second OF q
drop will kill cats and dogs But
when we see men chewing tobacco In
its strongest forms, from which they
must certainly extract much OF the
soluble content, 1t is evident that such
figures cannot apply to tobacco as 1t
is used by man"
DR.. Altman quotes the London Lam
Get as stating that by new process
Of separating nicotine, used in Its lab
oratory, q much smaller proportion
Of It Is found In tobacco. The Lancet
emphasizes too that an analysis OF
tobacco Is far from being an analysis
Of the smoke which men take into
their mouths. He gives some figures
from chart show facts far different
from the opinions generally held In
regard to cigars, pipes and cigarets.
The Lancet prints chart showing
the percentages Of nictoine In various
tobaccos and in the smoke therefrom'
"The analysis" says DR.. Altman,
demonstrates that while a cigaret
made Of caporal tobacco contains 2.s
per cent Of nicotine. the smoker con-
tains but .95 per cent Of the nico-
tine, and that other varieties show less
nicotine IN smoke than In the original
tobacco. The Lancet also states that
furfurol, fifty times as strong as al
cohol, is one Of the most harmful con-
stituents Of tobacco"
He quotes many authorities. de-
scribes his own investigation and ex-
reriments and concludes: #
'From the foregoing widely con-
flictlng opinions we can see how far
we are from dehnite conclusions as to
the true effects Of tobacco. We must
remember that large proportion OF
our population is EXPOSED to tobacco
smoke from early childhood. even II
they never become smokers them
selves. Much OF the air we breathe In
homes and public buildings Is charged
with smoke. and II has been pointed
out that people who are susceptible

y INCIDENT Of Revolutionary
N times finds q more vivid and
dramatic contrast in this day
than the first trip of the Lib.

John A. Sheath, ex-state treasurer of
Pennsylvania, in the Philadelphia
Press. That trip was to Allentown a
year and two months after it became
the Liberty Bell, at the time when
Howe's army, victorious over the Con-
hnental forces at the battle of the
Brandywine, was advancing for the
capture of the city.
When the bell left for the San
Francisco exposition last year 1t de-

For at that time there were many

evacuated by the Continentals, these
Tories came out of the obscurity in
which they had been prudently lying

President Woodrow Wilson was
fifty-six years two months and four
days old when he took the oath of
office March 4, 1913. He was the eighth
native of Virginia to attain the presi-
dency.
About two years after Woodrow VIII
sons birth his father accepted a call
to the passionate of the Presbyterian
church of Augusta, Ga. This was at
that time one of the most influential
congregations in the South, and the
elder Wilson remained as its pastor
throughout the Civil war. He was rec
ognized as one Of the leading dlvines
Of the South
woodrow was only five years old
when the war broke out, and as Au-
gusta was not the scene Of any actual
conflict, the boy knew little about what
was going on. He was also shielded
from the stormy passions and violent
prejudices Of the war, and grew up
into manhood unwarped by sectional
hate.
The elder Wilson did not force the
education Of his son. He took him on
journeys about the city, visiting fac
tories and explaining to him how cloth
Is made. He also read to him by the
hour. But the boy himself did not
learn to read until long after the aver
age age when children are supposed to
read. This is rather remarkable when
one thinks of the omnivorous appetite
for books the president has always
had. But when he did learn to read
he more than made up for lost time. |
He Is, at the present time, one of the
most widely read men in this or any !
other country.
The early years of the presidents
life were spent In the interesting
though inconspicuous pursuit of knowl-
edge. he specialized in the law. in |
American history, and in political
economy. With this foundation laid,
he burst upon the political world in
I9lO when he was elected governor of
New Jersey on the Democratic ticket.
In the second year of his governor
ship his boom for president was start
ed under the management of William
E. McCombs, one of his former stu
dents at Princeton. During the pre-
convention months no less than half a
dozen other entrants for presidential
honOrs made their appearance.
AT the subsequent Democratic ma.
honal convention at Baltimore. June
28-July 2, Mr.. Wilson beat out all en-.
tries with a vote that increased at
each roll call till his victory was re-
corded on the forty-sixth ballot In
the election that followed he was an
easy victor over the Taft and Roose-
Velt tickets, though his entire popular
vote did not reach that accorded VIII
lam Jennings Bryan in 1908.
