Paint the Mortal Shame of Nature
With the Living Hughes Of Art

Sir: Noting your comments on Presi-
cent Eliot's comments on the lack of
dclicacy in modern life, and the disrc-
spect shown by men Of to-day to WON
on Of to-day, as instanced by the fact
that men smoke nowadays in women's
presence. u thing they never did when
President Eliot was young, am
moved to comment that ought to be
commented
President Eliot was horn in 1894 He
was young man when the first ap-
peals for women's rights were made
How strange it sounds, and yet how
cXpectablc, that back in 19dS, when a
resolution was offered securing tc
married women the right to possess as
their own "property acquired from par
cnts, friends or by their own labor or
thrift the resolution was reported
adversely Aud that because--I quote
McMaster Vol. VIII, p. 1l6-"to give
women such right would bring them
into contact with the toughest scenes
Of life, would destroy their sensibili-
ties, weaken their dependence on man
and thereby take away one OF the
loveliest of their charms" The cru
city Of the laws at that time is 4ppall-
ing now.
President Eliot was a young man
when Mrs. Bloomer made herself i'm
mortal by invcnting a bifurcated gar
mcnt that revealed to a Mortified world
the fact that woman was a biped In
President Eliot's own Boston, "N-hcn
'wo females, clad in the strange gar
ments, appeared one evening on Wash
ington Street, the rabblc OF jcering
boys and men that followed them be-
came so great they were forced to
seek refuge in carriage.' In East
hampton women were warned that they
would be expelled from church Il they
wore the vicious things.
President Hibben Of Princeton re-
ccntly walled that reverence for wom-
on WAS being destroyed by the cos
tunes and manners OF the day. Vet
we have just seen our womanAind
granted the right to vote or run for
h.i Fuo4lO O4fCcc, anu IluSL- o. US lH!Eh
tney voted mighty wisely. They never
made lovelier gesture or graced a
scene better than when they dropped
their snow Of ballots in the boxes
Some OF our women smoke, as Puri-
tan maidens used to do, and many =
grandma; some Of them reveal their
pretty bodies very generously, to the
benefit OF their: health and the dismay
of idiotic prudery; but they are
worthier of reverence than women ever
were before, and we are so proud of
them and fond of them that we nave
put them on a higher plane than they
we're ever established upon before.
Let no one pretend with impunity
that the sickly mockery OF so-called
cnivalry indicated a greater reverence
than the high freedoms of to-day.

Plant Nut Trees,

Suppose that we were to supplant

side with trees which would give us
bushels Of product worth many dol
lara per bushel when the leaves were

difficult to set out black walnut than
II Is to set out q willow or poplar.
The frst cost is no greater II we set
out seeding trees, although, II partic.
ularly good kinds Of grated black
walnut are set out, the first cost Is
something more-yet negligible In
view Of the return. Investment In q
nut tree differs from an investment In
an industrial enterprise, for the rea'
son that the plant of the industrial en-
terprise Is decreasing in value from
wear and tear the moment after 1t IL
completed. A nut tree, on the Other
hand, Is increasing In value from the
moment II Is set out.

PRESERVE PAINT ON
SURFACE IN WASHING
Most Every Man Experiences
Trouble With First Car.
Great Care Must Be Exercised Dur.
Ina First Months, Owing to Time
Necessary for Varnsh to
Harden-Use Best Soaps.

Most every man experiences consid-
cradle trouble with the paint on his
first new car, due to the fact that it
was not properly taken care of. Some,
however, after running the paint on
one or two cars, learn how to keep
the luster in the paint, but for the
benefit of those who still do not know
the secret the following instructions
are given:
Owing to the time required for var
nish to harden, great care should be
exercised in washing the car during
the first few months In USE
|. Before using new sponges and
chamOis skins clean them thoroughly
with soap and water to remove sand
and shells.
2. Clean one panel at a time, thor
oughly drying before cleaning the
next. Never wash the engine hood
while hot, and never use hot water
on any part Of the car.
3. Mud should never be allowed to
dry upon a newly vanished surface
Wash off all mud as soon as possible.
4. Use lots of water to clean your
car. A sponge, thoroughly saturated
Is much better than hose. Always
have sponge full Of clean, fresh wa
ter and use no pressure when apply
Ing.
S. Have two sponges-one for body,
hood, etc., the other for the running
gear. Keep sponge for body away
from grease.
6. In washing running gear use a
soap solution made by dlssolving In
a pail Of water sufficient soap to make
a good suds. Sop on to car with
sponge. Rinse Immediately with clear
water.
II necessary to use soap on body
use only pure soap, such as imported
CASTLE, or the very best oil soaps
made for use on automobiles. There
must be no free alkali or acids In the
soap, as these will eat the surface on
the varnlsh.

Town PLANNING.

During the war the housing devel.
opments undertaken by the govern

land, were very frequently based upon
q complete physical plan. This was
possible because many Of the commu-
mites were created in places where no
previous community had existed. The
Geld was virgin one, and the oppor.
tunity was not lost. This aspect of
ths work was always referred to as

used In England. Thus at the pres.
