WHY WOMEN GET THEIR WAY
Prominent Characteristic of the Sex,
as Most Married Men Know, Is
Their Determination.

The main difference between men
and women is nowhere so marked as
1t is in the distinction between char
acter and ability.
A mans ability is entirely separate
from his character. A man may have
genius and no character at all. He
may have small abilities and large
character In a man the two things
appear to be entirely independent of
one another.
But woman's character is deter
mined by her ability, and her ability
is determined by her character. In
reality, therefore, women are much
more simple than men, although they
do not appear to be so. Women are
more complicated outwardly than men.
They offer more superficial variety.
But closer observation and association
among them tend to make them more
alike
Men, on the other hand, grow more
complicated as you come to know them
better This is because their abilities
and characters being unrelated and the
proportionate measure of each subject
to variations, new combinations are
constantly being presented. The va
rious things which 90 to make up the
motive power of woman, ON the other
hand, are more closely related. Wom-
en-, therefore, concentrate more than
men, although they do not seem to do
so, the process being unconscious.
That explains why, if Il woman wants
a thing and a man doesn't want her to
have 1t, she always gets ii.
When a man wants thing he plans
to get it just as much as he can
through the ordinary processes of his
mind and will. When woman wants
thing she makes no plan at all-but
she gets 1t much more often than the
man, because everything in her whole
makeup, conscious and unconscious. is
working for it.
If you want to see conservation of
energy and the perfection of efficiency
watch the working of that perfectly
co-ordinated machine-a woman-get-
ting thing from a man that she

AS IN SHAKESPEARE'S TINE
Old Tudor Architecture of Town Of
Stratford-on-Avon Has Been Won
derfully Restored.

Americans, who in prewar days, de-
lighted in visiting "Shakespeare's
country" would find many changes
there now.
Quietly and unostentatiously through
the unwearying efforts of Marie Cor
ELI, the novelist, and q few who sup
port her artistic tastes, these last three
and half years have disclosed the
ancient mysteries of Stratford. Old
houses, with plastered walls, which
were eyesores to the visitors and resi-
dents alike, have been stripped Of their
outward ugliness, TO reveal the quaint
picturesque Tudor architecture Of
Shakespeare's time. Wherever it has
been possible the early appearance of
the buildings has been restored, and
the effect has been a transformation
and the restoration of the place as
Shakespeare knew ii.
The ancient Sword Of State" which
hangs in Shakespeare's birthplace was
removed from its scabbard in August,
1914, as an official notice that England
was at war and the people say tradi-
ton forbids them to sheathe the old
sword, carried by ShakeSpeare's IA
Their when he was high bailiff in 1860,
until England is again ut peace.
Once at least, since war was de-
clared. Shakespeare's old home has
given expression to its feeling of graft
tude to Americans for the tributes they
have been privileged 10 pay to it from
time to time. That was when the
United States entered the war. Pres

the congress was proclaimed aloud.

THE WAR IN THE AIR.

Our first impulse was right. Ameri-
cans. as we entered the war, turned
their thoughts instinctively to the air.
The war was to be won in the clouds.
We lost that vision for while, as
our air program Jagged and experts
scoffed. But lately the situation has
changed. During the last big German
drive airplanes played an unprecedent-
ed part. 1t is even said that linden
burg's stragetic failure was due to
a spectacular French air attack on
his close-packed troops and supplies,
back of the gap he had made between
the British and French, at the most
vital moment of the long battle. And
since then there has been one great,
incessant air duel, with the Allies on
the whole victorious
Airplanes do almost everything now
from scouting and bombing depots'
railroads and fertilization back of the
enemy's line to flying in great fight
ing squadrons and pouring a devast-
ing fire into the foes trenches and
against his advancing columns. And
the demand is ever for more planes.
faster planes, stronger planes, and
fiers by the tens of Thousands.
Our air preparations are going bet
ter now. The Liberty Motor is pro-
nounced success, after all, and is be-
ing made in steadily increasing num-
hers. We shall soon, we hope, have
thousands OF planes in France. we
cannot possibly have too many planes
or too many men trained to fly them.
With enough airmen we can blind
the German army, smash the German
artillery and supply depots, terrlfy
troops back of the firing line. blow
up munition factories, bridges and
trains. and demoralize the German
population.
The stress has been on ships. Now
il is on troops 1t will soon be on
airplanes. We may not be able TO win
the war in the air alone, but we can
not win il without air supremacy
And that supremacy must be over
whelming.

Germany is worried about her fall

it is falling in accordance with the
working out of great natural laws

She does not realize that when a
great law is put in motion it must
work itself out and that the process
cannot be stopped except by the &C

4 REAL ARMY.

Every American heart thrills in
these uGys as news comes from Wash
ington and France of the big part our
troops are beginning to play The
time of preparation, with it's dis
couragements and doubts, is over. We
have a real army in France nova
bigger force than Napoleon or Grant
ever commanded And il is increas-
ing at rate which but a few week S
ago none OF us would have thought
possible
More than half a million" is the
vague official statement of the num-
Der OF fighting men already sent over.
1t must be a good deal more, by this
time A Congressman announced on
the floor of the House the other day
that 10000 soldiers were transported
to Europe during the first ten days
Of May. II is reported on good au-
thority that the total for this month
will reach 100000. II is a matter of
common knowledge that we now have
more than 100000 men under arms,
and that at least ,000,0 600 are sufiici-
emily trained for foreign service.
1t is expected that the 100000 men
sent in May will be followed by 250,-
600 in June a Washington dispatch
suggests that at that rate there will
be about 100000 in France by Christ
mas. All of them, by the way. will
carry their full personal equipment.
Their artillery needs are being sup
piled largely by purchases from
France and England Nothing will be
lacking by the time they go into
action.
Thus we already have on the battle
front more men than German military
authorities figured we should ever be
able to send Obviously, by next
spring American will be facing the
Germans in sufficient strength to make
war on the scale demanded in this con
fict of nations, and to beat the Kaiser
ot his own game.

Best. Known Hunting Docs.

Two distinct breeds of hunting dogs
in ancient times were the greyhound
and the bloodhound. and their origin
is lost in the misty ages of the long
ago. Tablets unearthed at Nineveh
show by pictures that both dogs were
common in that ancient day. The
bloodhound was first selected on ac-
count of his good nose in seeming
the trail of game. He is pendulous
cared. or drop-eared dog. Finally he
became the thinner of olden days that
is, the bloodhound led in leash or
line to track the quarry to its lair
or harbor. He was used only to locate
the game and was never off the lead,
while the greyhound's mission was to
race at the game and pin it by the
nose.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be

Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored TO its

ness are caused by catarrh which is

that an enemy who had accepted hos
