Take This Seriously,
II You Wish!

Douglas Fairbanks holds an inter
esting theory about his capacity to
perform feats of physical prowess.
He believes that the possession of a
certain nervous force that acts at the
psychological moment, in conjunction
with the muscular force, is as much
a part OF this ability as the muscular
force itself.
When he Is about to undertake a
stunt that requires unusual strength,
this nervous force manifests itself in
a vocal outburst. as II he were under
the influence Of some violent emo

Women Win In Russia.

Moscow university, the oldest and
most authoritative university in the
empire, has ever kept its doors fast
against feminine ingress. Now, at
last, this barrier has been swept away,
and the Russian ministry of education
and the faculty council of the univer-
sity have announced that hereafter
women will be admitted in full equal
ity with the men, in all courses.
The faculty council, in providing for
this new arrangement, has stipulated
hat the woman students desiring to
matriculate into the university, must
do so by examinations held in the
boys gymnasia. The gymnasia, in Rus
sia, cover the ~curriculums undergone
in America by the high school and the
freshman and sophomore years Of col

The wOmen's Institutes are not as
rigid as the gymnasia. and 1t is for
this reason that the university de-
mands that the women be put on alb

SITE SHOULD FIT THE HOME
One Of the First Things One Must
Remember When Making Plans
to Build the House.

Most of the su~burbanites who are
saving to build n houSe-the sort they
have dreamed of pOssessing-give so
much attention to the actual plans of
the dwelling that they do not stop to
think at all Of the vast Importance
of the houses setting.
There are joys and profits in site
hunting, and the average home-buildcr
who is willing 10 content himself with
the first strip of land in n desirable
neighbOrhood with which his realizes
tate dealer cOufrOntS him never
guesSeS.
Obviously, the average suburban lot
IS the flat, treeleSs, 30 by 100" on
which. of course. there is little posi-
bic latitude in building. The house
must be oblong and stand on one of its
ends about in the center Of the lot,
with an incOnSequential margin on
either side Of green in front and rear.
There are interminable streets of these
In every suburb.

as unsuitable. Like the neglected
creed beds in the farmers fields. they
are generally in odd shapes and wood
ed. the hand of the "imprOver" hav-
ing passed them as hopeless. In ru-
raj districts where land is rated by its
cultivatable area. these are literally
waste and can often be bought for
very little.
One Of the least-appreciated kind of
sites for a home is the gully or draw.
Everywhere among the hills there are
places where the waters have cut out
a bed TO the rocks and a stream
splashes swiftly downward among the
trees.
If you have q definite plan for your
house in mind before you have an idea
for the site, you should seek your site
TO fit the home. A chateau would be
out of place where a bungalow cottage
would he wholly at ease. A barn might
be badly misplaced on the ideal site
for a farmhouse. Your house. as has
been said, is the chief element in you
