This is the critical test for all AM

never before dreamed Of, while the
men are giving their all-dying on
the field Of the greatest war known
The women must realize their great
responsibility in such a conflict be-
tween right and wrong between civil
lied right and brutal wrong Never
before in history have the women been
called upon to hear such burdens TO
do so much to win a war.
The women need social precaution,
they who are devoted to domestic du-
ties must have hours OF relaxation,
active homekeepers need mental and
physical rest Therefore the varied
and restful social function is neces
sary diversion. But in these critical
and stressful times let the women
bend everything in the direction Of
heleing some of the war activities
/, America is to have heroism in the
trenches, there will have to be hero
i'm at home. The coming months
will require unflinchng courage in
the trenches; will demand unstinted
sacrifices of money and efforts OF
men at home. All this is for the pro-
lection of the American homes and
the women and children therein. Ger
tainly the women will not neglect
their full share in so great a crisis.
Surely they are willing, even deter
mined to save and to sacrifice that
victory may finally come to our
cause.

Those who woke to find the city
chastened with it's white vestments,
lying peaceful and mysterious, felt the
spell Of the unusual and wondered if
it could be sign of peace.
Whatever private emotions surged
through an astonished people, the an
cient chrOniclers announced that for
the. first time in thirty years heavy
snow storm had descended upon Rome.
There are those who record more re-
cent snow, but not of similar heavy
fall. And snowstorms In Rome, gen.
orally occur in January or February.
This time for three days snow fell
upon the sleeping city and then disap-
peared with the suns nays at noon.
Not only the people regafded the phe-
nomenon with wOnderment, but the
tram lines and telephone wires were
so overcome by the strain that they

The public conveyances were
stunned into helplessness. Roman cab
horses know nothing Of snow and Ro-
man cabmen are likewise afflicted.
Consequently the intrepid pedestrians
found themselves wading through deep
slush by noon in cabless town. The
Piazza Colonna was, with the thawing,
like lake of sherbet across which
few venturesome scouts-generally for
eigners-were wading.

Value of Sense of Smell
Proved in Discovery OF
the Substance Selenium

Have you an ambition to found
new science? Why not measure
smell? Can you tell whether one smell
is Just twice as strong as anotherT
Can you measure the difference be-
tween one kind of smell and another7
It is obvious that we have very many
different kinds Of smells, from the odor
of violets down to asafetida, but until
you can measure their likenesses and
differences you can have no science
of odor, writes Alexander Graham Bell
In Youths Companion.
In the first place we have to define
an odor. Is It an emanatiOn OF mate
rial particles into the air or Is 1t q
form of vibration, like sound? II you
can decide that question, you will have
the starting point for an entirely new
investigation. II odor is an emanation,

Of polished metal.
That q cultivation Of the sense OF
smell may be very valuable was proved
in the discovery of the substance
selenium. In experimenting with the
waste products obtained in manufac-
turing sulphuric acid, a distinguished
chemist noticed the characteristic
smell of tellurium-an odor that has
no counterpart on earth or in heaven.
But the smell was the only indication
Of the presence Of the substance; all
the chemical reactions declared that
there was no tellurium present In the
powder. The chemist therefore con-
cluded that, If no telluriun was, pres
ent. there must be a Kew substance
there, as yet undiscovered, which re-
sembled tellurium. When he had ex-
tracted from the mass all the materials
that he knew were present, he found

grow in the Forum, while lizards sun
