And why has no one ever thought Of men

It is not l. gentle reader, who has the
temerity TO put the question. 1t is instead
Gertrude Atherton, thought by many to be
Americas leading woman novelist.
In her newest book, THE Living Pres
ent" CFrederick A. Stokes Company, Mrs
Atherton strikes the most shattering blow
vet delivered by feminists upon the head or
masculine superiority. Jumping at the very
teeth Of the servant problem, she solves II
with a word. And that word Is Man
THE truth Of the matter" Mrs. Ather-
ton writes, puncturing with calm disregard
the very heart of male vanity. lis that
there is a vast number of men Of all races
who are At to be nothing but servants,
and are so misplaced i'm other positions
where habit or vanity has put them that
they fail far more constantly than women.

means. They are not fitted TO play a mans
part in life. and many Of the things they at
tempt are far better done by strong, de-
termined women, who have had the neces-
sary advantages, and the character to ignore
the handicap of sex
II can conceive Of n household where a
well-trained man cooks, does the wash,
waits on the table, sweeps. ana If the mis-
tress has a young child or is indolent and
given TO the rocking chair and a novel-a day,
makes the beds without a wrinkle He may
lack ambition and initiative, the necessary
amount Of brains to carry him to success
in any of the old masculine jobs but he in
herits the thoroughness OF the ages that
have trained him, and, If sober, rides the
heavy waves Of his job like a cork, I will
venture 70 say that a man thus employed
would finish his work before p. m. and
spend an hour or two before bedtime with
his girl or at his club.
Domestic service would solve the terri.

For the curling fluid use one tablespoon

water Pour the water over the seeds and
let them steep for several hours: the sticky
substance may then be thinned with a few
drops OF some good toilet water. Moisten
the hair with the mixture before curling.

More recently observations have been
made by Penzodt and by Cannon, the lat
ter using the x-ray, and the following facts
discovered
Carbohydrates pass out Of the stomach
most quickly. beginning in ten minutes after
they have been eaten. Protein is next IN
order and fats last.
when protein (beeO was fed before the
carbohydrates the discharge of the food was
much delayed. When carbohydrates (crack-
ers) were fed first the discharge Of the food
was almost as rapid as when the carbohy-
drates alone were given.
a mixture OF carbohydrates and protein
passed out Of the stomach more quickly
than protein alone and less quickly than
carbohydrate alone.
When fat and carbohydrate Csuet and
crackers) were mixed the time required for
gastric digestion was longer than when car
bohydrate alone was given. When fat and
protein equal parts of suet and beef were
given. the food remained longer in the stom-
ach than either the fat or the protein given
alone. Evidently the addition of much fat
causes delay in the stomach The reason
was found to be that fat does not leave
the stomach faster than 1t can he absorbed
by the small intestine.
When a mixture of the several food prin-
ciples was given. Cannon observed that at
the end of a half hour eight times as much
carbohydrate as protein had left the stom-
ach, and at the end Of an hour five times
as much.
The amount of food eaten also influences
the time required for the stomach to empty
itself.
Seven ounces of water left the stomach
in an hour and a half. The quantity of

at a recent conference Of English teachers
for the perfect woman. Here is the list

THE perfect woman is forty is mar
ried and is the mother Of five children.
She is in happy circumstances, living in a
beautiful part Of the country few miles
from a big town. She is the center Of a
good home, in which there is a high
standard of cleanliness and comfort and
where good taste is everywhere visible in
furniture, carpets, curtains. wall paper,
ornaments and clothes.

Designers of frocks are mark
ing time with the millinery
style creators in the production
of fall models. All of the style
shops are showing costumes
which are emphatically labeled
for fall, but which are being
sold for and worn right now
during the present summer
season. Many of these new
models are fur-trimmed, thus
making at least one effort to
live up to their designation by
the style folk. The early fall
model pictured in the adjoin-
ing sketch is of dark blue
moon-glo silk and trimmed with
collar, cuffs and footband of
gray squirrel. The hat is

agreed to submit Mr.. Stanley's final
communication to a conference Of dell

eight hours is normal and enough for
any engineer, they often work Is
hours on a stretch. recognizing the me-
cessity of working longer hours at the

The newspapers point to the ex-

transportation of the wounded as well
as reinforcements of men and sup
plies to ports.
J. H. Thomas, M. p, of the national
union, says the union has, protested
strongly against the society's action
which he regards as a breach of the

It seems, however. that there Is
some antagonism between the two

The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1917-08-18

London, Aug. 1s-There is consid-
siderable danger of an immediate
strike involving about half the en-
gfneers and firemen employed on
British railroads. The main point
5at issue is the recognition of the prin-
scipIe of an eight hour, day, although
ethe demand does not necessarily in
clude making the principle effectiye
during the war. The men concerned
enumber about 40 900 and belong to the
Associated Society of Locomotive En-
gineers and Firemen. This union is
distinct from the much larger ma
tional union Of railway men, which is
not involved.
The trouble has been brewing some
time. The government recently said
in the house of commons that the
society's claims are inadmissible but
President Stanley of the board OF
trade held two or three conferences
with leaders in the hope of arranging
the dispute. though without success
At meeting of the executive commit
tee of the society in London yester-
day II was decided to strike because
the demands were not granted. Late
in the evening Secretary Bromley sub
mitted to his colleagues further sug-
