MOTHER IS STEPPING OUT

VOIIldu suffrage IS all DuI dCil- ieved in England. Russia and France have decided to give wo- men a vote. Sixteen American states give American women a right to vote on president. And in three other states one house of the legislature has put presi- dential measures through. These states are Vermont, Iowa and Michigan. In Maine and New York the voters this fall will vote on full suffrage amend ments.
 Now that is mere politics. Here is business:
 eight American states have mothers pension laws. Forty-four states provide for c sorry education. In twenty-siX states the age of con- sent is Is years; in Kansas and California it is 2l. We are mak- ing the woman question a serious question in this world. We are caring for motherhood as it was never cared for before on earth.
 For instance:
 Fifteen thousand mothers die annually in the United States. according to the Children's Bu- reau of the Department of Lab or, in childbirth, and with dis eases directly associated with childbirth. Most of thse deaths are due to ignorance and lack of proper attention. The bureau, which has investigated the ma terial and child welfare work in Canada and New Zealand, sug- gests for rural relief in this country rural nursing service. centering at the county seat, with nurses especially trained to recognize dangerous symptoms in prospective mothers; an access sible county center to which mo- thers could come for information about personal hygiene; a cot tage hospital or beds in an access sible general hospital, especially for the proper care of abnormal cases; skilled attendance obtain able by each mother in the coun- ty.
 The spread of woman suffrage all over the earth means a deep and intelligent interest in bring ing children into the world we'll bred, keeping these children we'll l-housed, well-fed, and send- ting them into the world we'll trained to live as self respecting citizens.
 Mother surely is stepping out, and she i3 stepping out into a more abundant life than she ever has lived before.

RULER GIVEN SMALL SALARY
Swiss President contented With Year.
iy Wage That Would Not Satisfy
American Business Man.

The most modest and unnssuming
ruler In Europe is undoubtedly the
president Of the Swiss confederation.
1t is an astounding fact, but even In
his own country his name is not wide
ly known, and II Swiss who resided
outside his native land were asked the
name Of Helvetla'se official head no
would invariably express complete lg-
nornnce on that point.
The president, who Is elected by the
federal assembly, holds the Office for
only one year, from January 1st to
December 31st, qnd usually the vice
president succeeds him. His chief
duty is to direct his country's foreign
policy, for most Of the internal admin
istration is In the hands of the cantons
or districts. There are 80 cantons,
each OF which Is represented at the
two houses Of parliament.
The president this year Is NJ. Ed
mund Schulthess, and his official salary
Is f540, with an additional 5000 for
expenses. EIe has a federal council Of
seven, which forms a sort of cabinet,
and each member receives E4S0 per an

To Explore China for Art.

DR.. Carl w. Bishop, noted author
ity on Chinese art and curator Of the
section of Oriental art In the museum
Of the University Of Pennsylvania, will
so to China early next month to pass
three years In research work. An
nouncement on the university's deci-
sion to send Doctor Bishop to China
was made recently.
The expedition Is the result Of the
museum directors desire to get a com
plete history Of Chinese art, extending
back for the last 1000 years. To
day, 1t was snid. little Is known Of the
development Of art In the Orient and
Doctor Bishops efforts win be direct
ed along that line.
Doctor Bishop recently passed Is
months in China and did much inves-
tigation work for the university. His
progress was hampered by revolutions
and he could not reach remote local
tiles where examples Of ancient sculp-
ture have been preserved.
Doctor Bishop was bofn In Japan
and has passed the greater part Of
his life In that country and In China.

RECOGNIZED BRAND AT ONCE
How Mrs. sohofIeId Knew That Daugh-

Been carefree Bachelor.

Here is some inside dope on how to
tell a married man. The system is
made known by Mrs. Anna Schofeld,
who has Just helped her daughter Sc
cure an annulment Of her marriage as
wife No. 2. Ma, Schoield says mar
riage brands man as plain as q hot

eye fell upon her new son-in-law she
declares that she saw Immediately
where the harness had rubbed. And
then she gave the formula: Like all
average married men, MY son-in-law
was an artistic fiatterer In way about
things wives like to be lied to about. He
could praise coffee that everybody
knew was vile In such q way that II
tasted good. Like his brother bene-
diets, he knew how to praise his wife's
taste, whether good or bad. II mar
ried man says something about another
woman he does not neglect to say
something little nicer about his wife.
That was my son-in-law. Take tears

SAVING HORSES m WARTIME
Preparation That Renders the AMI
mails Practically invisible ls Re-
ported to Have Been Success.

Useful experiments are being car
ried out in the United States with the
-object of determining whether horses
can be so colored as to render them
less conspicuous and reduce the
changes of their being made target
for the fire OF an enemy. Some Of the
tests have been conducted In Arizona,
with animals OF the First cavalry, and
apparently have been attended with
considerable success.
According to the Army and Navy
Register, solution was applied to an
animal with IAN ordinary grooming
brush or sponge after the coat had
been dampened with water to prevent
the coloring stuff from running down
over the dry hair.
1t changed the horse from dark
chestnut to yellow dun, according to
the strength. This dye lasts about
four or five weeks, q longer or shorter
time depending upon whether the ami
NAL Is shedding or not, and 1t does not
tnke as long to color a horse as Or
dlnary grooming takes, as 1t Is only
necessary to 60 over the animal once
In the same direction as the hair lies.
1t neither Injuries nor alters the tex
ture or feel Of the coat. At 400 or
800 PAGES the animal was almost
invisible. In Arizona or Mexico,
1t is stated, the color can be
put on so as to dry the exact
color Of the ground, and no natural
colored animal is as nearly Invisible
at a distance as animals that have
been treated with a coat Of "war
paint In the desert country.
One expert has stated that 1t is al
most impossible for sniper to shoot
horses colored in the way that 1t has
been done in the First cavalry corrals
on the border, because the enemy will
be unable to see the animals at any
great distance.

DINNERS THAT ARE FAMOUS


OF recent years America has taken
the palm for eccentric dinners. We
have heard Of the progressive" and
the s'dancing" menu. In the former
the guests rise between each course
and make their way, table by table,
from one end OF the room to the other.
This idea has been attempted before,
but the dinner at which every course
Is illustrated BY some clever dancer Is
unique. a
The scenery" dinner, a late vogue,
was another distraction INDUCED In
~ the mlllionaires. 1t represented
he scenery Of different countries by
models In the center of tile table.
The Savoy hotel, In London, has
reputation for the giving Of dinners
,ut Of the ordinary. Here was given
the famous Red dinner presided over
oy a man who had had run Of luck
On "rouge' at Monte Carlo. Every
hing was red, wines. dishes, glass,
decorations, even the walters gloves.
Another celebrated dinner at the
Savoy was given by the Due d'Orleans
In honor of the marriage OF the Due
i'Aosta. The 40 guests included
scion Of practically every royal house
in Europe-such a bhe-blooded gather
Ing was never before witnessed in any
hotel.
A most expensive dlnner-was given
ut the Carlton hotel MS the result OF
d lost wager made by a member Of
the stock exchange. This gentleman
bet he would carry friend picka-back
up and down Throgmorton street In
the busiest part of the day; but when
1t came to the time to carry out the
performance his courage failed him,
and he had to provide the dinner--u
heavy stake.
When the Eifrel tower was, first
opened in Paris. dinners on the top
Of II were Of frequent occurrence. .and
captive balloons and diving bells have
been used as dinlng-rooms for peo-
pie with craving for things out of
the ordinary.

Insccts Spread Plant pIsease

The Pennsylvania department Of for
estry has been making exhaustive m
sestigaiions with a view to finding
out the means Of fhe dissemination Of
spores Of blight fungus which are the
causes Of numerous tree diseases.
There Is evidence that Insects are
principally responsible for the spread
Of spores, although many Of them are,
Of course, carried by the wind. The
results of these Investigations suggest
also that the spread Of other plant
diseases Is directly traceable to the
action Of insects.
