Women Not "Immortals.D

Women have applied for admittance
to the French Academy, but the "im-
mortals" already there are not In
favor of admitting them. NJ. Poincare
is alone in courageously favoring the
admission Of women. If Nine. GARNER
succeeds in forcing open the door. he
says, he will not he the last of the
Forty to congratulate her. NJ. BOurget
holds that the traditions of the acad-
envy are against women being admit
ted. NJ. Emile Boutroux sees no OBJ
jection-if it is the wish of the pub
lie. On the other hand. M. Alfred
Capus cries, Islands off the Acad-
emyl" He believes that on the day
when a woman, or foreigner, is adj
mltted TO the institution II will be de-
stroyed. NJ. Henri Regnier holds that
the rules could not be altered to adj
nit women. If they are to be admit

To many people the most important
considerations in the building of n
home are substantial construction and
comfort within. They are not keen
about Il pretentious exterior or some
freakiSh design which will attract at
tention. Rather, they prefer house
of modest and popular lines. plain in
design, but radiating feature Of good
old-fashioned comfort. Too often in
the construction Of Il house these fun
damental features are overshadowed
by the demands of faddish age and
as a result the finished structure is
far from attractive and in many cases
not NJ all comfortable or conveniently
arranged.
These faults certainly cannot be
found in the substantial. modest yet
pleasing home shown here. While IL
is attractive. none of the more essen
tial features of real home have been
sacrificed To gain this effect. 1t is one
of the thousands of houses of the same
type that are to he found i'm all sec

gained in the outward appearance by
the use of shingles as siding above

one of the first references to straw
is in Exodus, when Pharaoh pro-
nounced his famous "Ye shall no more
give the people straw; let them go

Pharaoh was evidently the political
boss of his day, and a shrewd one, for
it is reported that "the people were
scattered abroad to gather stubble in

pays its compliments as "a thing Of
