JoRLESs WOMEN AFTER THE WAR

"What readjustments will take care
of the thousands of women who will
be forced out of work by the return
ing armies?" One often hears the
question.
But will they be forced out of work!
We have been through readJust-
ments in the industrial world, and
while they may not have been on such
a tremendous scale as will be the case
after this war, many of the principles
are the same. Various mechanical
inventions have threatened to throw
thousands out of work, as for instance
the power looms which at first ap-
pearance indicated a sudden and vio-
lent industrial disturbance in the
ranks of weavers. An easy transition
took place, however, and everyone
concerned was benefited.
After the war there will be great
expansion of industry. Demands will
be greater and many of the ex-sol-
diers will be taken care of in that
way.
MANY of the women entered the in
dustrial world because of economic or
patriotic causes. Peace will bring
back the bread winner and remove
the necessity of further patriotic
work; that large class of women will
want to turn their Jobs over to men.
Prices will probably be lower and it
will not be necessary to have so many
workers in each family.
1t is prophesied that Immediately
after the war there will be an un-
usually large number of weddings
and if a man cannot get a job by
marrying the girl who has it, he can
marry her and let some. other man
have her job.
The greatest expansion is in the
industries normally employing women
in the greatest numbers; clothing
trades, textiles and canning. The one
notable exception, of course, is the
manufacture of munitions.
When men are once more available
for industry, the he>readjustment will be
gradual and easy and the women leav-
ing their jobs will probably do so
willingly.

THE OPEN COLUMN
New Psychology and Food Supply

New Psychology and Food Supply.
The address of President Wilbur
made in Columbia should have a
wide hearing in America. Compre-
hensive in conception, lucid in state
ment and delivered without a hesi-
tation in the manner of his speech,
it was an informing and constructive
lecture of a high order.
On returning from the auditorium,
it was remarked to the writer by his
wife that Many people will go from
under the spell of that great speech
to eat big dinner" Too true. In
place of hanslating the feelings
kindled in them by the sober facts
and startling predictions of the
speech into the practical principle of
action they will let these exquisite
emotions ,evaporate like waste steam
instead of being set to drive wheels.
During the last two or three de-
cades, the new psychology, sometimes
called the experimental psychology
science of mental life which en-
ploys. methods hitherto peculiar to the
physical sciences, has become a rec
ognized member of the family of
sciences, and marks the victory of ex-
perimental science over the specula-
tiveland dogmatic. The new psychol-
ogy is studied in the laboratory today,
and Professor E..W. Scripture is the
director of an elaborate psychological
laboratory in Yale University and has
eh0logy" and another on Thinking,
Feeling, Doing"
| : The late Professor William James
of Harvard University gives one a
fair idea of the doctrine and prac-
tical value of the new psychology,
when he says: Seize the very first
opportunity to act on every resolu-
tion you make, and on every emo
tional prompting you may experience
in the direction of the habits you as
of their forming, but in the moment
of their producing motion effects that
resolves and aspirations communi-
cate the new set to the brain Novel
reading. or .heater going, or even
music, can produce monsters in the
way of people who feel but do not act.
The remedy would be never to suffer
ones self to have an emotion, say at
a concert, without expressing 1t in
some way. Let the expression be the
least thing in the world,-speaking
genially to ones aunt, or giving up
ones seat in street car, if nothing
more offers,-but let it not fail to
take place!"
The reason one should not fail to
translate emotions aroused at a war
meeting by great war speech into
the practical principle of action is
that passive impressions by being re-
peated as Bishop Butler points out
in his Analogy, grow weaker, as is
evidenced by the result of familiarity
with danger, with the sight of dis
tress, or with instances of mortality;

WAR POETRY

The agony of war is often softened
in the hearts of the sufferers by poetic
inspirations. And not only is the poet
a comforter. but he has also the pow
er of stirring a nation to action in
times Of crisis. Many times have the
heads of detected and worn-out ma
tions been lifted with new hope and
inspiration by the stirring words Of a
poem.
The poet has still another sphere in
crystallizing the thoughts of his fell
low men. 1t is this mission that is
fulfilled by Rudyard Kipling. Refer
ring to the disasters that have befal-
len British armies and particularly
that when a large force of British
soldiers were allowed to perish
through the neglect of men in au-
thority, Kipling voices the views of
the nation in the following words:
Our dead shall not return to us while
Day and Night divide
Never while the bars of sunset hold.
But the idle minded overiings who
quibbled while they died,
Shall they thrust for high employments
as of old?
Shall we only threaten and be angry for
an hour?
When the storm is ended shall we find
How softly, but how swiftly, they have
sidled back to power

State Pride in the Navy.

No method has yet been found to
stimulate and keep naval enlistment
up to full strength. The suggestion
was made to Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels that state pride be used TO en-
courage enlistment, that whenever q
new ship is given the name Of state,
the state so honored be expected to
furnish a certain number of men for
service on the new boat. Secretary
Daniels, in replying to the suggestion,
POINTS out that it Is impraticable to
enlist men for service on particular
ship, but that steps have been taken
to carry out the idea by establishing
navy recruiting stations at all state
capitals where such recruiting offices
do not now exist. Effort will be made,
too, to obtain the cooperation of state
officials in the establishment of the
new naval reserve. State pride and a
spirit of friendly rivalry among the
states should be made the fullest use
of in keeping the navy's man power
up to high-water mark. - Charlton

GOOD ROADS ASSIST FARMER
Striking Example Shown in Spottsyl,
Vania County, Virginia Big In
crease Made in Shipments.

The value of good roads to the
farmer is strikingly shown in the ex-
perience of Spottsylvania county, Vir-
glnia, from an investment of 100000
to improve 40 miles of road. Two
years after completing this road the
railroad shipped from Fredericksburg,
the county seat, during period of II
months, 1900 tons of products of the
soil, hauled over the improved highway
to that town. Before the improvement
had been made the total was only 20
900 tons annually.
Results equally startling were shown
In the quantity of dairy products. In
1909 these amounted to 114,S15 pounds !;
In 1911 they had risen to 253O2S
pounds-an increase of practically 40
per cent in two years.

GENTLE ITALIAN BEES
Singing Black and Hybrid Breeds
Have Been Discarded.
Expert Of Oklahoma Experiment sta.
ton Advises Beginners to Get Mod
ern Fixtures to Keep the
Honey CATERERS In.

(By C. +. SANBoRN, Oklahoma Expert
ment Station)
A great many people fear the sting
Of bees, but 1t is just as the Western
country was years ago, where there
were large herds of cattle. Very little
butter was made because the COWS
were so wild and kicked SO much that
only one or two per family were
MIXED. Now, however, with the i'm
proved Breeds, nearly every farmer
has butter and cream the year round,
and often receives nice income from
the sale of these products.
The same applies to bees. The sting
ing black and hybrid bees have given
place to gentle Italians. l often han
die my bees throughout year with
out being stung.
In the first place, don't fool with
black bees any more than you would
attempt to milk Texas cows. Get pure
Italians. In the second place, don't
monkey with boxes or gums to keep
them in, but get modern fixtures.
DOh Try " pIOuuSC Solhp hOhNS Az
pound boxes. An expert beekeeper is
required to make 1t success any
where. Don't imagine that you can
get rich at the business just because
you take off, say, 200 or 800 pounds
of honey some years.
If you can buy from neighbor more
cheaply than from dealer, do so; but
bear In mind that when you sell a
COW, you don't always sell your best
one, but more likely one with a pc
cullarity that you don't like. Likewise
with bees, for which reason it is often
better to buy from dealer. he will
be inclined to sell you something good
because he has reputation to sustain.
The colonies of Italian bees in com
plete ne-and-one-half-story hive will
cost about 500. Two empty hives
(ready to put new swarms in), sup
piled with full sheets Of foundation In
the brood chamber, and starters in the
upper stories or supers, will cost $500.

HISTORY OF ALFALFA PLANT
Records Show II Was Carried Into
California From Chile In 1854
Spreading Eastward.

Alfalfa is very old plant. 1t was
taken from Persia to Greece by Xerxes
and his army, 500 b. @. Three hun
bred and fifty years later the Romans
carried it from Greece to Rome. Pliny,
the Roman naturalist, who lived the
first century after Christ, tells of its
value.
1t was probably taken from Rome
to Carthage and the surrounding ter
ritory, and from there to Spain about
700 A. ID. From Spain 1t was carried
to France, TO Belgium and England.
1t was esteemed in England when Co
lumbus discovered America. Cortez
brought 1t to Mexico, others took 1t to
Peru and Chile, and to New England.

AXLE GREASE IS NEGLECTED.
Oversight Means Wear and Rapid De.
terloration of Farm Equipment
Keep Grease Handy.

OF all the sins of neglect committed
against farm equipment that of fail
ing to ''grease" the farm wagon is per-
haps the worst. The farm manager
gets in hurry, bitches up the team
and drives off to haul heavy load
when the "spindles" of the wagon may
be so "dry" as to be bright from the
friction of the wheels.
Such use means heavy wear and
rapid deterioration. 1t takes but n
very few minutes to grease" the wng-
on when everything needed is handy.
When axle grease is used often the
load draws easier and the wear is re-
duced considerably.
Keep your wrench, axle grease and
axle rest handy so you will not forget
to lubricate the wagon.

action makes Vap-o-Rub useful for

Fifty Degrees Is Desirable for Several
Reasons-Bacteria Won't Multiply
So Readily.

1t is desirable, where possible to
cool the milk Immediately after milk
ing. A temperature Of 80 degrees is
desirable for several reasons. The
bacteria present in the milk will not
multiply so readily as in high temper
allure, and an increase in bacterial
number will sour the milk rapidly.
We can readily see that quick cooling
and the maintaining Of a low tempera-
ture will prevent or at least delay
souring for a considerable time.
