WOMEN OF BRAVE OLD DAYS
Tribute to Those of the Revolution and
Civil War-Their Courage
Inhari8ad

It was natural that the women of
the Revolution and the women of the
Civil war should have been radical.
outspoken and determined, because
they aspired to an understanding of
those great political issues they
were lifted out of domesticity and
frivolity by their active cooperation
with men.
Women have always ranked with
men, says Ida Tarbell, Gin actual ca
pacity and achievement; and it is
certain that in these two crucial in
stances they rose spiritually to the
level of their husbands. They sought
no immunity from suffering, they made
no ignoble plea for peace. They posed
neither as innocent victims of mans
combativeness nor as moral censors
of his supreme self-sacrifice. The no
ton that war is wrong because it in
wolves the anguish of women would
have been as repellent to their souls
as the notion that war can be averted
by the wisdom of women would have
been repellent to their understandings.
They deemed it their right to know
what issues were at stake, and their
privilege to give undenyingly to their
country's cause. Courage was their
inheritance from their pioneer ances-
tors, and pain was proudly borne, be-
cause it-was the price of freedom and
national life.
There is something very inspiring
in the contemplation of these stout
hearted, clear-minded women who so
family resemble the chimney-corner
great-grandmothers of our fancy

Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot

will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,

does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just thinki You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from

INSTITUTION 70 YEARS OLD
by Uncle Sam Was Established
by an Englishman.

The Smithsonian institution has just
celebrated it's SEVENTEEN birthday.
This institution, which has been fos-
tered by Uncle Sam for nearly three
quarters of a century, was founded by
an Englishman, James Smithson. In
accordance with his will, dated Octo-
Der 26, 1926, his fortune of more than
$500O00 was left in trust to the United
States to found at Washington an es-
tablishment for the increase and diff
fusion of knowledge among men.
Smithson died on June 81, 1929, and
his bequest was acquired in 1888, but
it was not until eight years later that
President Polk signed the act of con-
gress establishing the Smithsonian in
stitution. The act provided, among
other things, for board Of regents to
have charge Of the institutions affairs.

United States, the mayor of the city of
Washington, three senators, three rep
resentatives and six citizens at large.

ther knowledge by carrying on, or as
sisting investigations in all branches
of arts and sciences, and to dissent
nate the results of such researches
by publication. The act directed, as a
part of the plan of organization, the
founding of library, a museum and a
gallery of art, and made provisions for
researches, explorations and lectures.
After seventy years, the operations
of the institution are continued along
these same general lines, although 9TH
er features have been incorporated.
It is international in its scope, and
governmental in its affiliations, now
administering several government-sup-
ported bureaus, some of which had
their origin in the institutions early
activities.

up on his breakfast table contained
the Illuminating note under the cap
ton, "News of Plays and Players:"
Jules Max has sprung another and per
haps his greatest surprise on the 'theater-

manager has been out of town for two

After pause Whitaker rose and be-

thought.
Search as he would, he could dis
cover no ranking indignation, nothing
but some self-contempt, that he had
allowed himself to be so carried away
by infatuation for an ignoble woman,
and q cynic humor that made it pos
sible for him to derive a certain salts
faction from contemplating the COM
pleteness of this final revelation of
herself. Returning to the breakfast
table, he took up the paper, turned
to the shipping news, and ran his eye
down the list of scheduled sailings:
nothing for Friday; his pick of half
a dozen boats listed to sail Saturday.
The telephone enabled him to make
hasty reservation on the biggest and
fastest of them ALL.
He had just concluded that business
and was waiting with his hand on the
receiver to call up Ember and an

bell interrupted. Expecting the waiter
to remove the breakfast things, he
went to the door, threw it open, and
turned back instantly to the telephone.
AS his fingers closed around the re-
ceiver a second time, he looked round
and saw his wife.
His hand fell to his side. Otherwise
he did not move. But his glance was
that of one incuriously comprehending
the existence of stranger.
The woman met it fairly and fear
lessly, with her head high and her lips
touched with a trace of her shadowy,
illegible smile. She was dressed for
walking, very prettily and perfectly.

The Homeric Controversy.

It was about the year 1895 that the
"Homeric controversy" began. About
that date f. A. Wolf, in his prolegom-
ena, argued that the Homeric poems
were composed of independent epic
songs. collected and arranged by Pei
sistratus, about $50 B. c. VOLTS theory
created a great stir among scholars
and poets and inaugurated the fight
which enlisted most of the learned
men of the day. Andrew Lang, in
Homer and the Epic" 1898, vigorously
defended the zone author" theory, as
opposed to the idea of Wolf that the
famous poems were composed through
ages by many different persons.

Wampum beads were made from a
variety of different substances, but
the one that was used in the greatest

that they "store up shells in summer

Character and Reputation.

There is a broad distinction between
character and reputation, for one may
be destroyed by SANDER, while the
other can never be harmed save by its
possessor. Reputation is in no mans
keeping. You and 1 cannot determine

say about us, and we can only do this
by acting squarely up to our own con-
