Learning From Birds.

Many wise suggestions come to one
who observes the ways and traits of
birds. Study of birds well repays the
effort it demands. Respect for animal
life and bird life humanizes us. The
greatest and best of mankind have
been tender and loving to animal life.
The more we become friends of the
birds the more we shall feel the force
of the text. mot one sparrow shall
Fear We not, therefore, We are of more
value than many sparrows. "-Milwau-

WoMAN's OPPORTUNITY
By DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writer

-HIS war has made over the world
for women. II has lifted the
curse Of sex from women's brow
as not even the most optimistic fem
mist ever expected 10 see II lifted. 1t
has answered questions, once and for
all, that the world has debated for d
hundred years.
With the Regiment OF Death stop
ping the flight OF craven Russian men
soldiers in battle, and with hundreds
OF thousands of women making MUM
lions and nursing soldiers in hospitals
under the eneny's shells, no one can
ever say again that women should not
be given the right tc vote because
they cannot defend their country IN
time of war.
With women driving motor trucks,
and building barracks for soldiers at
the front, and doing railroad construc-
ton, and raising crops at home no one
can ever talk again about woman's
sacred sphere. She has demonstrated
that womans sacred sphere, like
mans sacred sphere, is wherever
there is work TO do.
Nobody can ever argue again about
whether women as a sex have the
physical strength to do this and the
mental stability to do that. when in
every line Of trade and business girls
have leaped into the places left vacant
by the men who have gone off to war,
and, almost without any preparation,
have given just. as efficient service.
The bloody hand of war has not
only opened wide the door of oppor.
tunity to women but has dragged them
through Il by the hair of their heads.
Thousands Of prosperous women
whose fortunes have been swept away
in the great conflict have been forced
out into the world to support them
selves. Thousands OF other women
have had to suddenly turn bread win
ners not only for themselves but for
the wrecks OF husbands and sons and
brothers that the war has sent home
to them.
And still thousands of other women,
having found out that real, construc-
tive, creative work is far more in
teresting than the silly and fruitless
labor of toiling in the treadmill of
society, have turned their backs upon
the drawing room forever.
II Is respectable for a women to
work. More, It is fashionable. The
