Modern Woman Must
Have Power to Love
Says Writer
By YVONNE SARCEY
Noted French Authoress

"a woman will always vote for the
best looking candidate" is common
masculine argument against woman's
suffrage. "She won't inquire into his
administrative or executive qualities.
If he's handsome, he'll do.
Beauty is always appealing. A
handsome man, provided his features
reflect force of character and lntell1-
gence, is usually pleasing. But it any
one were to ask women what type OF
man they prefer think that not very
many would choose man whose good
looks are not backed up by some other
quality.
Women are not fascinated by mas
culine beauty as much as man is fas-
cinated by a beautiful woman's fea-
lures. y
But who can say what type of wo-
man a man prefers; what part beauty
plays in his choice Judging from the
letters 1 have received from young
Frenchmen-most of them back from
the war-it would seem as if theoreti'
cally at least they have less use for
beauty than for grace.
"a woman must be graceful" almost
all my correspondents say. Grace is
more essential than beauty. And she
must have charm. l don't care how
ugly a woman is-if she has charm
she is always attractive"
The young Frenchman OF today ap-
preciates intelligence more than the
men of his fathers generation. Il
want my wife to be gifted, intelligent
at any rate to have an interest in
what is going on, so as to be able to
take part in discussions on any sub
ject that may come up. The woman
who can only talk home and babies is
appalling.
But the modern woman, in spite OF
her brain, must have the power to
love and to create an atmosphere of
love. A woman's actions should be
inspired by tendencies and affection
If they are, the home will always be
the strongest drawing power in a
mans life"
I certainly subscribe to those excel
lent sentiments. In the meantime l
would suggest that men. too. let all
their actions in the home be INSPIRED
by tenderness and affection" If they
do. 1 am certain very few marriages
will end in divorce.

Sends Spider to
School in Bottle,
Tells of Results

Wheaton, In-Educating spider is
a task rarely undertaken. Mrs. Eliza
beth Marriott Moffatt, of Wheaton, one
Of the few students of spiders in the
country, however, set herself to it. and
this is what she writes of her expert
ence:
"By far the most common spider in
the country is the one known as the
'black-and-brown speckled spider Age
lena naevia," said Mrs. Moffatt "The
species although called a garden spi-
der is often found in our houses where
it builds a fiat sheet web in some cor
ner, always having funnel at the rear
into which the spider can escape when
disturbed. The body is from one-half
to three-quarters of an inch in length.
At the back end two of the spinnerets
project, looking like pointed tails.
Learned Quickly
"a fully grown specimen was cap
tured and put into a wide mouthed
half ounce bottle. This was laid on
it's side on the library table. Every
day she was given a small drop of
water and one or several house flies.
The flies were fed to her by placing
one in a bottle similar to that in which
the spider was Gagged, placing card
over the mouth of the bottle that con-
tanned the fly, withdrawing the cork
from the spiders bottle, placing the
two bottles mouth to mouth, and then
removing the card.
cat once the spider would rush into
the second bottle, seize the fly and re-
turn with it to her own bottle. She
soon learned to run to the mouth OF
her bottle whenever I approached her
with water or fly.
after a few days the cork was
taken out of her bottle so that she
could come out at will and go in at
will. She would wander about the
table crawling over and around books
and papers but always retreated to her
bottle when frightened. She had built
small web in it, with a crude retreat
at the farther end and adopted it as
her home.
She learned so readily to come for
food and water that am led to wonder
whether Fabre's contention that every
act that spider performs is impelled
by an instinct that has come down to
it through untold generations, is not
suiect to some modification"

German Uniform

District

Richard Donnnershack, swindler. Don

people and specialized that the glory
of the German military uniform was
not so pale but what it still has
potency. In all parts of the country
he used the uniform he wore as "fy

His last stunt was rather strong.

GENTLY impressed and interned him
in a room on the fourth floor of the
hotel pending a telephone call to Ber-

bed sheets, pillow cases and quilts and
blankets together. He had lowered
himself two stories when a soldier on
the ground floor saw him and cut the

was picked up bruised and with a
broken arm. In the hospital he
amused the attendants with his sleight
of hand tricks and posed as magician.
One evening, after he was all but re-
covered, he gave magic soiree." He
asked for all the watches of those
present, promising to turn them into
canary birds. Donnershack stepped
into the next room. No birds coming
out, the door Of the room was opened.

with him. In Muenster he was mis-

Miss Helen Dove
of Denver First Girl
Forest Ranger

Miss Helen Dove, of Denver holds
the distinction of being the first wo-
man entrusted by Uncle Sam to act as
fire guard in the national forests.
Miss Dove, who moved to Denver
several years ago in the hope that the
climate would prove beneficial to her
health, is a newspaper artist by pro-
fession, and it was when she overheard
her managing editor explaining the
work of the Foresters that she first
became imbued with a desire to enter
the service. Her ambition and efforts
were constantly directed to that end
until she received her appointment as
fire-lookout in the Pike National For
est in Colorado. 1t was merely an ex-
pertinent on the part of the Forest
service officials, and the close of the
summer season was to terminate the
arrangement.
AS is often the case, however, when
"a woman is on the job" Miss Dove
sprang few surprises that caused this
decision to be reversed. Her artistic
education became an asset in this new
position, for she found ways of i'm
proving the forest reserve maps in
such a way that the department was
greatly impressed. Her clean record
and intelligent management of the post
convinced the officials in Denver that
she should be kept on the payroll.
The fact that not single fire of
consequence occurred in her territory
during the season of 1919, although
forest fires were numerous, shows how
well a girl can do a mans work when
she starts out to do it. She reported
between Is and 20 fires during the
season.-Lillian Eddie Chapman, in
Leslie's.

A Sea that's Shrinking

Reports that the Salton Sea is
shrinking rapidly from the basis for a
bulletin by the National Geographic
Society, explaining the causes Of this
natural wonder of the West.
Many countries ago the Gulf of Cali
fornia extended to point about $50
miles northwestward from its present
head, says the Bulletin, which quotes
from a communication to the society
by Arthur P. Davis.
1t also extended up the present val
ley of the Colorado River at least to
Yuma and possibly somewhere above.
The Colorado River, rising in the
Wind River mountains of Wyoming
and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado,
carved the rocks along its course
and brought the resulting sands and
mud down in it's swift current, dis
charging them into the arm Of the
gulf near Yuma.
cessation, century after century, the
valley was gradually filled, delta
up, over which the river flowed far
out into the gulf. 1t encroached pro-
gressively upon the shores of the gulf
until it built up delta entirely across,
joining the foothills of the Cocopah
mountains on the western shore.
This cut off the head of the gulf
and the arid climate rapidly evapor-
ated the waters thus separated and
left an inland depression, which at its
lowest point were nearly 800 feet be-
low sea level. 1t is estimated that the
amount of salt carried by the Lower
Colorado river is sufficient to cover
fifty-three square miles one foot deep
with dry alluvial soil each year.
The river continued to bring down
it's load of sediment and to build its
delta higher and higher and force ii
farther into the gulf. Like all such
deltaic streams, the channel on the
top of the delta is constantly shifting
cutting one bank, building up the
other.
In this way the river has from time
to time flowed into the Salton Sea fol
some years or centuries, and anon has
shifted to the eastward and discharged
again into the gulf. This is the gene
raj course the river has followed evel
since it's discovery by the Spaniards in
the sixteenth century.
At high water the river normally
overfows it's banks in the valley re
gions all the way from the Grand Can
yon to the Gulf of California. In un
usually high water, such as occurred
in 1891, the overflow running into the
Salton Sink has been sufficient to ma
terially raise the level Of the lake and
overflow the tracks of the Southern
Pacific Railway, which are built along
its shores.

CicOtte is Not
to Be Punished

Eddie Cicotte, Chicago White Sox
pitcher whose confession resulted in
numerous indictments by the special
Cook County baseball grand jury in
connection with the 1919 world series
scandal, probably will not be punished
for his part in the game throwing, &C.
cording to officials of the State at
torney's Office. Cicotte will turn
States evidence when the men in
dicted are tried and his only sentence
will be Punishment from organized
baseball, it is said.
Cicotte's confession to the grand
jury came after numerous witnesses
had testified concerning rumors they
had heard that he was implicated in
deal through which eight Chicago
White Sox players were given 100000
to throw games to Cincinnati in the
1919 world series.
A confession made by Billy Maharg,
Philadelphia prizefighter, to newspaper
men that he knew of the deal, was be-
lieved to have influenced Cicotte to
go before the jury. He testified that
he was given $4,000, which was placed
under his pillow, to throw games.
He named Buck Weaver, Swede Ris-
berg, Happy Felsch, George McMullin,
Chick Gandil, Joe Jackson and Claude
Williams as his confederates in the
game selling. Williams and Jackson
later confessed before the jury and
Felsch was quoted by local newspapers
as having confessed to their reporters.
Risberg, McMullin and Weaver, how
ever, maintained their innocence and
are planning to fight the case. Gandil
was not in the league this year. He
was quoted as denying implication in
the plot, but his whereabouts is not
now known. The jury voted indoct-
ments against the eight players as
soon as Cicotte finished his testimony.
/ The indictments were returned later.
