Miss Zeller was attending the Ma.

WOMAN AMBASSADOR NEXT.

A prophet who has watched the ar

forth with the prediction that soon
we may see the woman senator, the
woman chief justice Of the Supreme
Court, the woman ambassador ani
perhaps the woman President. With

In a recent article by II ncle Joe
Cannon on Women in Politics. and
with particular reference to the CON
eressiOnal career of Miss jeanette
Rankin he says that women have al
ways been in politics. That's a mere
play on words. Woman has always
been in politics through her influence
over sons and husbands. For the
same reason she has always been in
everything else. because she mixes
in all things human.
But more accurately it might be said
that women have always been in dipl0-
macy, on account of their participa.
ton in the exceedingly important so
Cial side OF diplomatic ministry and
activity. Women a. legations have
made war and peace. treaties and al
liances by their indirect action Now

NEW ORLEANS FRENCH
MARKET WONDERFUL :
Seems Like an Hour Spent in Old
World, Says an Enrapturcd
Writer.
XVII SAXON n New orlcan. pic.ync.

The French Market Tin New OrlcansN is,
in my humble opinion the most wonderful
sight in city which presents fresh
wonders to n stranger Mt every turn. Upon
arrival at the market and mingling with
the crowd, | was Mt once amazed Mt the
number and variety of types which pre-
scented themselves at every turn. French,
Spanish, Italian, Creole, nationalities and
races from all corners Of the earth, all
chattering merrily in their tongues, giving
one vivid idea Of what the Tower Of
Babel must have been after the confusion
of languages. But in this cosmopolitan
place of business everything progresses
smoothly, even though little noisily.
Here and there the ubiquitous Negroes
present themselves, their ebony faces
simply bcaming with merriment as they
make their purchases. There is one big
black who attracts the attentionDf every
one in the vicinity. He is bargaining for
some apples with a man who has tho face
and eyes Of Breton fisherman, but he
argues in vain with the stolid Gaul and
slouches away To another stand.
My attention was arrested at this point
Ivy little old woman, laden with o huge
basket almost as big rs herself, which was
filled with all manner of vegetables and
fruits. and by the odor Of one parcel. fish.
Her shrewd little wrinkled face, screwed
into what was apparently meant for n
smile, sharply serutinized the contents
of the stalls (seemingly there was still room
for more IN that wonderful basket and the
faces of the passers-hy, searching no doubt
for some old acquaintance. She drfted
along and was hailed by the presiding
genius of nearby stall, a buxom matron,
who, be-shawled and rosy-cheeked, looked
as typical as any of her ilk between Calais
and Marseilles. They seated Themselves
on case of apples and INDUCED in rs
lively and witty gossip as ever was pre-
sented in written dialogue.
| drew myself away and slowly wan
dered past stall after stall, all laden with
everything in season, and presenting,
with the picturesque costumes OF the ever
changing throng, as colorful and interest
ing scene as anyone could wish TO see.

BIRD POPULATION INCREASING.
Breeding Where None Had
Nestled for Years.

Washington. March 2.-The United
States Department of Agriculture, through
its Bureau of Biolo gical Survey, has
conducted investigations OF the breeding
areas Of ducks IN North Dakota and
Nebraska. Compared with former years
a gratifying increase of breeding water
fowl particularly in North Dakota,
is evident The fifth annual series OF
counts of birds of all species breeding
on selected areas in various parts of the
United States contained large proper
ton Of reports showing increases in bird
population.
The total number Of reports received,
however, was not large. Many of the
persons who had formerly taken part
in the-annual bird counts were unable.
because of extra duties assumed during
the war, TO find time for the work re-
quired by the fifth count.
MANY species of migratory birds, .
reports the chief of the Bureau of Bio
logical Survey, "have had a marked in
crease under the existing treaty act.
Waterfowl formerly driven to the far
North by spring shooting have remained
in steadily increasing number to breed
In localities where none had previously
ne.ted for many years"
