LONELY SPOT IS ST. KILDA
Communication With II 10 De.
cidedly Irregular.

Many have been the vicissitudes
through which the lonely island of St.
Kilda-attacked by German subma-
rine in May last-has passed.
St. Kilda is the most remote Of IT,
Hebrides, the nearest land to it h :,
Grminish point. North Uist, 40 lilies
away.
The island has been the itrpperty Of
the MacleOds from time memorial,
although one of the f. tly, Gen. Nor
mand Macleod, sold i IN 1873. It was
repurchased, however, in 1871 for f3,-
600 by his grandson, known to the
worthy folk of st. Kilda as Normand
XXI.
The present population is about
eighty-Gaelic-speaking crofters, who
enjoy home rule and are practical COM
munists. They are cut off from the
rest of the world, however, for tho
greater part of the year. Crime is I'M
known, but famine often haunts the
crofters, owing to there being no regu-
lar means Of intercourse with the near.
est mainland. They live mostly by
rearing sheep and killing sea fowl for
their feathers and oil.
The fact that wireless station and
post Office were established on the is
land some time ago no doubt caused
the Smelling by the U-boat.

SOLDIER BOY KICKS
AGAINST Y.M.C.A.
Scotch Blessings, but the Cap
tain "Stumps" Him.

IF every kick and knock against the
Y. NJ. C. A. service overseas could
have been handled as an American
captain l know treated one case In his
company there would be more in the
air Of what the " did and less of
what they failed to do" said John M.
Currie Of Melroses Mass, who is Just
home from operating Red Triangle
huts in the Calais and Ypres sectors.
The censor one evening came across
letter from a boy to his folks back
home, in which the "Y" was PANIED
and served on toast with a garnish of
all the Scotch blessings and reverse
English the boy had on hand. Now
the censor is q pretty tired man, and
should not have blamed him II Ne
had let that letter 90. But there was
an extra strong touch Of exaggeration
In 1t that reused the censors sense OF
justice.
So he sent the letter to the captain
Of the boys company and the captain
called the boy in. This is the CONVEX.
sation that followed:
did you write this letter."
'Yes, sir"
"Read it over-is there anything
there you'd like to change before 1t
is sentr'
"No, sir"
Then there was short pause, In
which the captain studied the boy
and the boy set his jaw stubbornly.
Finally:
"Where did you get this letter."
1.-THE ~ SIR"
"Who gave you the paper7"
'The 'Y,' SIR"
"It's warm and coy, and something
like home there, isn't it?"
Eyes, SIR"
"Where do you get your cigarettes
candy, etc.?'
"The ~ sir"
you're always sure Of finding what
you want there?"
eyes, sir"
"You 60 to the movies and real
show occasionally?"
Eyes, sir"
"WhO runs them?"
'aThe ~ SIR"
doesn't cost you a cent, does it?'
mo, sir"
There was another pause, and the
boys face was redder and his expires
sion softer. Then:
"If you don't mind. sir, I'd like to
see that letter again."
Without q word he took it from the
officers hand, tore 1t once across, and
dropping 1t into the basket made his
salute, turned on his heel and walked
out. r---8--. ----~s%F !.

"Now Jim This is not matter to joke about" Mother said. T do not like the looks of that engagement an nouncement any better than you do still" Mother paused. We all knew that she implied that it wasn't nice of us to discuss Miss Miller along the lines Daddy was mapping out.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Young wo- man, do you yearn for a husband who will wash the dishes, do the house. work. take care of the baby, and make the pies and biscuits?
 You can get him, if you look around There are just as many men who are fitted to do housework as there are who are fitted to dig ditches, run ma chinery and go to war.
 There are no such things as mas culine" men and j"feminine" women Sex hasn't anything to do with it Man or woman, if you belong to the 'extravert" type of humanity. you are aggressive, selfconfident; while if you are in "introvert' you are thought ful, hesitant, less aggressive and less sure of yourself. Women are not nee essarily weak, submissive, changeable timid or irrational, nor are men nee essarily aggressive, consistent, force ful, logical or fearless.
 Points of Difference.
 Such was the answer of Dr. Beatrice Hinkle of New York before the inter national conference of women phy- sicians at the Y. w. c. A. headquar- ters here, to the conclusions of Dr. G Stanley Hall of Clark College, Wor- cesten Mass, who addressed the con ference on Points of Difference Be tween Men and Women"
 The mere man physician held to the old fashioned idea that there are es- sential differences between the sexes; that the gentle art of persuasion, ths ability to "get her own way" the power of cajolery, results from the fact that women are not as strong or aggressive as men, and that they have therefore trained themselves to accomplish re- suits in a purely feminine" way.
 ''Woman's motherhood powers make her more sympathetic" said he. "Hel moods are richer and more varied than those of men. She is more in terested in people than in ideas. She i. more conscientious and more adapt. able than men,
 But Dr. Beatrice Hinkle says "No' to the assertion that woman is the weaker and men the stronger vessel.
 Woman Strong as Man.

 have placed in the names of mascu-
 line and feminine A woman's work
 always has been much more restricted
 than that of a man. We must stop telling human beings to feel in a cer
 tain way or to work at certain things because of their sex. Opposite Characteristics.
 Dr. Hinkle believes that the qual ities that women like in men, and vice versa, are generally the opposifes to those they themselves possess. The ! "introvert' type of woman-the wo man with a strong, assertiye person = ality, will look with favor upon the
 man who possesses the opposite char acteristics.

Arizona Club Women For Anericanization

An impetus to the work of American ization by club women of Arizona will be given today when the Central Ari- zona District Federation of clubs will hold an all-day session in Mesa, the keynote of the meeting being Ameri- canization.
 Every club will follow the policy of the general federation, which advo- cates comprehensive study of Ameri- canization in it's every department. In it's work this season the district and state federations will feature the study and will be given inspiration by the talks this afternoon by members of the state university faculty and Normal school instructors.
 The morning session will be devoted largely to business registration of delegates and reports of committees taking over the greater part of the initial meeting. The program of the

from the conventional assumption that the man must be the superior being and the woman the weaker Ves- sell" she said. Many men do not wish to be superior. They do not wish to be war-like and aggressive and they suffer from the opinion that they
 must not be sensitive. Many women,
 on the other hand, suffer just as much because they are supposed to be weak timid and full of moods, when they are nothing of the sort"
 Dr. Hinkle admits that there are probably secondary sex characteristics but that such distinctions play no real part in the fitness of men or women
 to enter any field of industry, art or 1 letters.
 Differences in temperament, at i tributed to sex, are really matter of type she asserts. "The human race is divided into 'extraverts' and i fntroverts' with graduations between
 them. There are men of each type and there are women of each type We
