Of opinion concerning the quality Of

II was maintained in the entire
period by these "ablest men Of the

entirely inferior to that OF men. and
that her physical structure made II
impossible for her to comprehend the

Since then woman has written the

WIGS ONCE THOUGHT SINFUL
PurItans Held That Men Had No
Right to interfere With Dispensa-

Having last night heard that Josiah
Willard had cut of his hair 10 very

Mother what came about and she
called him. eDqulred Of him what
Extremity had forced him 10 put of

answered, none mt all. But said that
his hair was straight. and that II
parted behind. Seem'd TO argue that
men might as well shave their hair of

him TO read the Tenth Chapter Of the
Third Book OF Colvin's Institutions.
Told him that II was condemned
by a Meeting Of Ministers at North
ampton In Mr.. Stoddard's house when
the said Josiah was there. He
seem'd 10 say would leave Off his
Wigg when his hair was grown. i
spake to his father Of 1t day or two
after; he thanked me that had dis
cursed his Son, and told me that
when his hair was grown to cover his
ears he promised to leave of his
Wigg. II he had known Of II, would
have forbidden him. His Mother
heard him talk Of Il; but wns afraid
positively to forbid him lest he should
do It, and so be more faulty.-From

Painful Dental Work.

In the time OF Nero there were pro.
fessional dentists who could replace
lost teeth with artificial ones made
of sycamore wood, which were fas-
tened to their natural neighbors with
gold wire. A gold plate with several
teeth attached has been found in an
Etruscan tomb. But those dentists
knew nothing of the art Of excavating
and filling cavities. When tooth be-
came too painful they removed 1t, not
by pulling it but by prying it out in
a manner that must have been most
distressing to the sufferer.

rrebles Hardness Of Leather.

A Norwegian engineer claims that
he has discovered process by which
leather can be made two or three times
as hard as 1t is normally, says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. This Is Of
very special interest In these days Of
high prices for footwear and other
leather goods. While the leather can
be made as hard as wood, 1t does not
lose Its elasticity, 1t is said, and also
acquires greater resistance to both
heat and moisture.

Roman Soldiers Smokes" !"

Records recently discovered show
that the Roman soldiers In Caesars
time had their pipes. OF course they
knew nothing about real tobacco, as
that had not at that period been dis
covered. However, they did have pipes
and they smoked lavender and hemp,
and from all accounts they liked 1t
and 1t served almost the same purpose.
In fact, It is said to have been great
solace and stimulus to the soldiers.

Baker Clears Department.

The United States will have more
than two million fighting men IN
France before the close of the cur
rent year. They will be trained and
equipped for action against the kaiser.
That's what Secretary Of War Baker
told the senate committee on military
affairs yesterday in reply to the sweep
ing indictment of incompetency uttered
by Senator Chamberlain. The secre-
tary stood for nearly six hours deliv-
ering his explanation, for he wanted
it to be considered as such; plain
review of everything that had been
done by his department in prepare
ton for the task on the other side OF
the ocean. He took up in order the
various charges that had been made
by Senator Chamberlain, and did not
hesitate to acknowledge responsibility
Tor mistakes that had been cited. He
was not surprised that there should
have been errors made in connection
with the tremendous undertaking that
confronted the department. Mostly all
of the work before it had to be rushed.
Men had to be trusted. Some Of them
were efficient and others were not. All
rad done the best they knew how. The
hest brains of the army and in civilian
life were consulted. Even Major Gen.
eral Leonard NJ Wood, the intimate
friend of Colonel Roosevelt, had been
one of the secretary's advisers in Sc
Iecting camps and cantonments for
the soldiers Also it was General Wood
who urged the plan of calling out large
numbers of men for service in the
army before equipment for them was
ready. However, the secretary as
sumed responsibility for putting this
plan into execution.
Mr.. Baker presents facts that sue
cessfully deny every allegation that
there has been a breakdown in any
branch of his department. He goes
thoroughly into every angle Of the
work entrusted to him and shows that
il would have been impossible, con-
sidering all OF the circumstances, to
have got greater results. Things might
have been done differently by other
men, but the point that the nation is
interested in knowing is whether Mr.
Baker and the establishment over
which he presides have failed in their
part of the program. You will reach
"A decidedly negative conclusion after
you have carefully read the state
trent of the secretary. He overloOks
no details. 1t is a complete answer to
Senator Chamberlain, a successful
refutation of the various charges re-
feoting on the war administration, a
full recital Of what the department has
done'since the nation got into the wal
that ought to satisfy every fair minded
American citizen.
