"A WOMAN WHO
 WAS \ SINNER''

This day is sacred in the calendar of the Roman Catholic church to St.. Mary Magdaien, "a woman who was sinner" always one of the most po- pular of the saints, and the inspiration of a multitude of painters and sculp- tors who have sought to display in the nude figure of the Magdalen the beauty of repentance.
 The worship of Mary Magdalen and the observance of here fete day Is gen- eral in Provence. that quaint and me- dieval section of southeastern France where the modern spirit of rational ism and freethought, which now dom- mates the French government, Is al- most without influence. The Proven cal tradition that Mary Magdalen fled from persecution and found a refuge in Provence, where she lived for thir- ty years in cave, Is still unfalteringly accepted by the majority of the peo- pie. The visitor may see the very cave which was her home. and also the mountain chapel where she prayed daily and was permitted visions and revelations of the Lord." There is also to be seen the sacred pillar" which is said to mark the spot where she died.
 For centuries hot dispute was waged over the alleged remains of Mary Magdalen. The monks of Vexe- Tai asserted that some bones found under their altar were those of the repentant sinner. and these relics were placed in silver shrine. St. Louis, the king of France. attending the cere- mony with his whole court
 
 and the monks prospered nightly, while many cases of miraculous cures were reported. Then came a rival in- to the field. Prince Charles of Saler- no, son of the King of Sicily. heard the Provencal tradition that Mary Magdalen's body had been buried in an alabaster tomb somewhere in Prov ence, and he began a search for the relics, His quest, so it was declared was drowned with success. Accord ing to the legend, the bones were found in ian alabaster tomb at st. EBaume and on a board covered with l wax was the inscription. Here rests bility of Provence assembled to pay of Mary Magdalen was set up. | In the controversy which followed the Pope upheld the contention of the monks of Vezelai, but in spite of this popular sentiment favored La Baume For many years the controversy was carried on. each side presenting argu- ments and citing facts which seemed to render the contentious of the othel absurd and ridiculous. The conten- ton eventually had the result o1 arousing widespread doubt of the au. thenticity of either set of relies. That St. Mary Magdalen spent her last years in Provence is still firmly believed however, and the places connected with her Provencal pilgrimage are considered holy.

OWNED AND
 RENTED HOMES

A little group of men who have dealt considerably in real estate in a number of cities, got to comparing experiences the other day. They were discussing the question whether more or less people own their homes than formerly It was the final consensus that there are fewer houses owned by the occupants than formerly.
 Workmen nowadays cherish tena- ciously their freedom of movement. If they hear of q better job, they want to be footloose to pull up and go. They do not work as long in one place as formerly. The man who has stuck to one job for 10 years is a member of the Old Guard, a. conspicuous figure. There Is an unwillingness to tie ID money in any one place.
 As Q result 1t was the feeling that there is~an increasing contrast be- tween the various sections of growing towns. The better houses arc very nicely kept up.i People settle. down in them in Q permanent way. They plant shrubbcry and cultivate flowers and fertilizc and decorate their lawns with an eye to the future.
 Meanwhile in less costly homes, the tenants are more mobile. They hate to do any permanent grading or plant ing on their landlords real estate They may be far away another year and other tenants would reap the ad- vantage of their labor. Let the land. lord do it, is their view. Usually the landlord does not see how beautifica- ton will improve his rent.
 All of which tends to create resi-. dcnce districts without beauty. plain and bare. Also the man in a rented house is less likely to save. A mort. gagc is a constant incentive to thrift
 But the renter feels independent and i5 apt to be indifferent to a bank ac- count. It is not easy to build up sub. stantial and beautiful towns on the basis of the modern restless popula- ton.

rived at the solution which l believe is

A SUBSCRIBER and READER.
Problem and Solution: A, B, C and
D having built stone wall, received
a certain sum which was to be divided
as follows: A received $4,000 plus
1-13 Of the remainder; B received
$100.1O plus 1-13 of the remainder: C.
received $11011 plus lib of the re-
mainder; D to receive the balance of
the remainder and all to receive an
equal amount.
Solution: Assuming that the differ
ence between BIS and C's receipt of
money, being $l0.01, is equal to 1-13
Of the remainder which C was to re-
ceive, therefore C's share is $11O.11
plus $10.01, or $12012, which amount
equals IA Of the whole amount, there
fore $12012 multiplied by 4, or
$480.48 is the total amount received
for the work. $48048 minus $1,000
CAS- payment) equals $4,000; divided
by 13 equals $1,000; and $4,000, AS
cash payment, equals $120.12, AS

Of remainder) equals $96O.36; minus
$100.10 Obs cash payment) equals
$26O.26; divide by 10, equals $1,000,
Obs share Of remainder); add $100.1O
(B's cash payment) equals $120.12,
BIS share. $26O.26 minus $4,000 (B's
share Of remainder) equals $24O.24;
minus $110.11 (C's cash payment)
equals $13O.13 (remainder) divided by
10 equals $10.O1 (C's share Of remain
der), therefore $11O.11 plus $1O.O1
equals $120.12, C's share. $130.11
minus $10.O1 (Cs share of remainder)
equals $120.12, the balance of re-
mainder, which is equals to IA of the
whole amount received, therefore it is

AMERICANS WANT VILLA
DRIVEN FROM BORDER

Atlantic City, N j., Oct. 1S.-Suple-
mental assurances from Gen. Carran-
"a that he is beginning new and
vigorous campaign against Villa were
received today by his representatives
on the Mexican-American joint COM
mission. The general asserted all
available troops would be used in the
pursuit of the bandit.
The American commissioners re-
viewed the joint session a carefully
prepared statement of the Mexican
claims as to conditions as well as pro-
posals for restoration and mainten-
ance of peace along the frontier. This
statement also included arguments
designed to show why the American
troops should be withdrawn from Chi
huahua.
The Mexicans insist they are capa-
bic of driving villa and other outlaws
from the border, but the Americans
attitude is that they must demon
strate ability to do that and also to
maintain effective government in the
interior.
