WOMAN LOOSE IN ARGUMENT
u 10 otffeult for Her TO Concentrate
on Central Idea. According
to Writer.

The woman, as q rule. finds Il DIM
cult to retain q grasp upon q central
idea to clear away the side issues
which obscure It. She can seldom
carry an idea to its logical conclusion,
passing from term to term; some
where there is q solution of continuity,
W. l.. George writes In the Atlantic.
For this reason arguments with wom-
ep, which have begun with the latest
musical play, easily pass ON from its
alleged artistic merit to its costumes,
their scantiness. their undesirable
scantiness. the need for inspection, In.
spectors of theaters, and, little BY
little. other inspectors until one gets
to mining inspectors and possibly to
mining In general.
The reader will observe that these
ideas are fairly well linked. All that
happens Is that the woman, tiring of
the central argument, has pursued each
side issue as it offered itself. This
comes from a lack OF concentration
which indisposes q woman to pene-
trate deeply into subject; she is not
used to concentration, she does not
like it. 1t might lead her to dis
agreeable discoveries.

CAN GROW BULBS IN ROOMS
Prepared Fiber Enables Flat DweIIers
to Have Choice Flowers at
Their Pleasure.

Lovers Of flowers who live in hats,
apartment or uptown houses where
there are no yards for bulb planting,
can have their Plants In their rooms.
The wizards Of the flower world have
discovered that the rarest bulbs, as
we'll as the common ones, grow their
best in prepared fiber. This is fer
thized and is cheap. Bulbs can bo
planted in this fiber In vases and
bowls. The hber is danpened from
time to time and nature does the
rest.
In tho last 25 years bulbs have never
been as cheap as they now are, nor
has the American market been sup
Piled with better quality than can
be bought this season, the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal observes.
Holland. the greatest bulb produc.
Ing country of the world. is a neu-
tral nation, but the countries engaged
In war have no time to think of flow
ers. In years Of peace England. France
and Germany we're great patrons Of
the bulb market. They had the first
choice Of the select bulbs. Today
these markets practically are closed.
The Holland bulb growers look to this
country to buy their output and for
this reason are Offering the choicest
bulbs at prices so cheap that bulb
planting Is placed in easy reach of
nearly every person.
1t ia to the thoughtful lover of fow-
ers of the early spring that the pres
ent cheapness Of bulbs will appeal.
Once planted in the open air, the
bulbs will bloom patiently for years
and years. They never die naturally,
and will yield their fragrant harvest
each spring.

rardy Justice to s.uyve.and..

The official representative of the
Netherlands at the unveiling of a
statue Of "Petrus Stuyvesandt, the last
and best of the governors of New
Amsterdam" presented to the people
of the city OF New York by the Dutch
government, frankly admitted that
this colonial administrator did not re-
ceive proper support from the foreign
office when he was in power. In this
and in other ways contemporary Hol-
land has tried to show to descend
ants OF the men and women who
founded and built up New Amster-
dam that the former estimate of Stuy-
vesandt is not held; that he was not
responsible for the surrender to the
English; and that 1t is time to do
Justice to his merits as man of
force and insight. Thus does time
rectify injustice done, give 1t but years
enough! II may be doubted now
whether Washington Irving painted
the portrait of this administrator
fairly.

How Zeppelin Bombs Break WIndows.
Why do window panes broken by q
Zeppelin bomb explosion fall outward
This question is causing a discussion
at London.
A Chester schoolmaster says tho
explosion causes wave Of condensed
air to strike the window and force Il
inwards little. This suddenly com.
presses the air In contact with the in
ner surface Of the glass and the re-
action of this increased pressure sup
ports the glass like cushion. The
air condensation travels as a wave to
the opposite wall of the room, where
1t is reflected and sent back to the
window, thus pushing II outwards. BY
this time, however, the wave of rari-
fed air which follows the original con
densation due to the explosion has ar
rived. So the combined extra pres
sure inside and decreased pressure
outside sends the glass into the street.

Yes. for sure, all right" the Japa.

i They went humping up the street,
swung wildly round a corner, and
finally at the far side Of the town drew

the store was bedstead on which
hung the sign, This week cheap"
What do you mean by taking me to
