Life of Chilean Girls.

The Chilean girls reason for being is
marriage, and one of her earliest leg
sons Is that wOman's place is indeed
the home and that man is ordained her
master, the World Outlook says. Old
maids have a particularly horrid time
In Chile and most of them take the
veil. There is little else for them to
do. for they can't all become school
teachers and no other career Is open
for the young woman who does not
marry. Women journalists, doctors,
lawyers. stenographers and clerks are
practically unknown.
Perhaps this somewhat oriental ideal
of Chilean womanhood explains why
the tinkling of the piano rather than
the clicking of typewriter keys is tie
chief mechanical noise one hears at the
Santiago College for Girls, and why the
most important exercise is an exhibit
OF fine needlework and hand-painted

WHAT OUR DEFENDERS COST
A. Home Il is 1927 and Overseas S42S
Year for Each Man In the
Service.

Statistics have been collected by the
clothing and eQuipage, subsistence.
conservation, reclamation and hard
ware and metals division of the quar-
termasters' corps, United States army,
to indicate just what it costs year to
maintain soldier overseas and in the
United States.
These, according to the Army and
Navy Journal, show that the cost is
$423.47 a year to equip and maintain a
soldier overseas and S327.78 to equip
and maintain one in the United States.
Subsistence, figured at SO cents day.
amounts to $251.S5 yearly for each
man overseas; figured at 81 cents a
day in the United States, It amounts
TO $1S9.80. The cost Of the initial
equipment for the soldier the frst year
in the United States Is S115.3O, while
the cost OF his additional equipment
for the first year overseas is 1924.
Thus 1t appears that If the soldier
going overseas did not take with him
a great deal of his equipment already
supplied In the United States the con-
trast between the cost of equipping
and maintaining a soldier In this coun-
try and abroad would be much more
marked. Not only Is the amount Of
equipment needed abroad greater than
that needed In this country, but the
statistics of the conservation and re-
clamation division show that equip
ment and clothing overseas are subject
to much harder use, wear out more
quickly and are less effectively re.
claimed than similar material, cloth
ing and equipment used In the United
States. The amount of reclamation OF
each individual soldiers equipment IN
this country is $3.50 year, while the
amount Of reclamation of similar ma
terial abroad is but 1891.

BIondIn's Feat Recalled.

In the whirligig Of momentous
world events 1t Is not strange that
there should pass almost unnoticed q
few days ago the ffty-eighth ami
versary Of Blondin's exploit of cross
ing Niagara gorge on four-inch
tight rope. a feat that still stands as
the acme Of daring and nerve. One
OF the thousands of spectators that
lined the river bank was the prince
or Wales. late King Edward. This was
the first time anyone had crossed Nj
agara gorge on rope. Blondin car
ried man on bis shoulders on one
trip. wheeled a wheelbarrow over on
second trip, and on third trip car
ried a stove on his balancing rod and
fixing 1t on the rope, cooked cakes and
threw them to people in small boats
below on the river. Blondin was after
ward killed in Paris.
He made test In 1859. and In the
following year successfully car.
ried out his feat, October 10, 1850.

DREADED SNAKE UNDER FALLS
according to Indian Superstition, Rep
tiles Breaking Loose Ended in
Destruction of Villages.

Formerly, according to Indian SUI
perstition, there dwelt under Niagara
rails a gigantic snake, which now and
then would make its way to an Indian
village and coil itself around the town.
II swallowed the people, and made
itself further obnoxious by poisoning
the springs and wells with its spittle.
The Hiwassee river, in the south
ern Allegheny region. is infested by
an enormous leech. Occasionally o
certain ledge of rock is exposed when
the water Is low, so that people are
tempted to cross over 1t. Anybody
who tries to do so, however, is inevi-
tably seized and sucked down.
Near the head of the Savannah
river are the famous Talula falls. II
has been well known for centuries
that the Thunder Spirit lives beneath
these falls, and its roaring may at
any time be heard In the noise of the
cataract
One hundred miles to the southeast
OF Death valley Gin California; is
Dead mountain, which Is the abode Of
multitudes of ghosts. At all events,
the Indians so believe, though when
one approaches the mountain one per-
ceives that the spooks are merely
broken and precipitous rocks shining

Furloughs For Men
To Harvest crops
Many Florida Soldiers at Camp john
stOn May BE Granted Burroughs
During Harvesting Season

Jacksonville, April 15.-Many sol
diers at Camp Johnston, who were en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits prior
to entering the service, will be grant
ed furloughs through the proper pro-
cedure just at this time and also in
the future, to aid in the harvesting
and planting of crops. AS this is the
time when Florida is harvesting her
great potato crop, it is thought likely
that the recent authority to grant fur
loughs to enlisted men will be made
good use of for short periods. Already
several requests have been made and
granted.
There are many specifications re-
CURED before such furlough can be
granted, and no enlisted man, who is
first sergeant or above that grade,
can be excused, and neither can a fur
Tough be granted when it is deemed
inadyisable on account Of the train
ing of the soldier. That is to say,
when such furlough will materially
interfere with his preparation or his
training as a soldier Such furloughs
cannot be granted to men in compan-
les ordered to ports of embarkatior
or tt other camps.
Burroughs granted for this purpose
will Oe without pay or allowances, ex-
cept that enough pay will be retained
in each case to meet allotments il
force on the date Of the order, wal
risk insurance and pledges on Liberty
bonds
Ihat this will be Of great help Il
many growers in Florida ant
throughout the nation is evidenced
Before such authority was grantee
there were many requests from al
sections asking that men in the serv
ire be allowed to return to thei
homes for a few days or weeks to al
in the harvesting and planting of tn
crors. Now that such authority ha
heeL granted it is the intention c
the War Department to allow them t
he granted, and it will mean mon
the service who have such vitality IN
rortant work at their homes to acceI
such furloughs.

CANNING AND SANITATION
Cleanliness Required Ivy Dem0nstra.
tors SERVES rs Object Lesson

Nothing demonstrates the value Of
home sanitation IN a more practical
way than the home canning OF fruits
and vegetables, according to the
demonstration agents OF the Uniyer-
SHY Oh Florida extension division who
work with the girls canning clubs
The first step in every canning de-
monstration is to make certain that
all utensils are absolutely clean and
That the product TO be canned is in
sound, wholesome condition. The next
step is TO steriAze thoroughly uten-
sis, fruit, and cans and jars, as heat
ana cleanliness are the only pyesery-
ing elements allowed.
In teaching the why and where
fore" of heat and cleanliness ia can.
ming, the demonstrators are able to
give the girls, in a simple way prac-
teal knowledge OF the effects OF bac.
terra and mods and to make them
realize that dirt is synonymous with
these destructive germs" The girl
who neglects to take these things INTO
account soon gets a serious object
lesson in a spoiled batch Of canned
! vegetables.
