Necessary Financial Genius.
(Snringfield RepOrter.

The Bennington Banner knows of an
early Vermont minister whose salary
was never over $500 a year, on which
he raised family of seven children
and sent five of them through college.
After the experience of their youth
none of the dominic IS sons probably
felt an irresistible urge to enter The
ministry, and the reason so many
young men fight shy of the sacred call
ing today is because few of them have
the financial genius necessary to live
on $500 a year, to say nothing of bring,
ing up and educating family. They
therefore, seek vacations, which re,
quire less figuring ability in order to
get by.

BABooNs HAVE A LANGUAGE.
And at Least documentary Ideas Find
Vocal Expression.

The commonest sound made by the ba-
boon is something between a deep bark
and short roar "Hoch," or "Hooch. 2
somewhat drawn out might express it.
| have occasionally heard them utter
some such sound as "Hoahaouw" But
when one develops intimacy with a
tanned baboon, If becomes clear that its
vocabulary includes several sounds, indi-
cative not alone of satisfaction or the
reverse, but of a desire to communicate
ideas. These sounds are of varying in
ieXiOn and intonation, and are accom-
panied, not only by appropriate changes
in the animals facial expression, but By
various gestures Of undoubted meaning.
In contradistinctiOn TO human beings,
the faces of balloons all have (as in the
case with every species of wild animalsl
exactly the same expression when in re-
pose; yet, BY movement Of the scalp,
ears, eyelids, nose and lips, as well as
the erection or iattening OF the hair sur
rounding the countenance or the name,
the baboons expression is susceptible Of
modification to a most extraordinary de
gree. Muscles such as the occipito-fron-
tails and the attolens aurem, which have
largely lost their function among humans
are still fully operative among balloons
The minor sounds uttered by these
creatures cannot be expressed in terms
Of the alphabet; they are generated
mainly somewhat deep down in the
thoat. Personally / am convinced that
balloons possess a documentary languag,
If that term may be permitted for sy

facial expression play greater part thar

The shortage of help during the war
brought women into the ranks of labor
in many ways. The farmerettes showed
what women could do for agriculture
and now two women of Turner's Falls.
Mass, have shown that there is other
outdoor work for them. These two
have been assisting in the ice harvest
there owing to the inability of the To-
cal ice dealers to get sufficient male
help. They report the work agreeable
and healthful and they draw equal pay
with the men for an eight-hour day.

There has been considerable discus
sion in the newspapers of late over
smoking for women and many opinions
have been expressed, but there are few
men who will say that it is a pretty
habit for the fair sex. Women some
times copy masculine dress and habits
because of their great desire to be free
and equal and express themselves this
way, others do it because it is con-
sidered the thing in their circle. AS
the custom is not an old one it is safe
to say that not yet is there man
who would really enjoy seeing the fem
mime members of his family smoking
He might become accustomed to it but
it might never seem the suitable thing
