INGERSOLL ON WOMAN"

at takes a hundred men to make
an encampment, but one woman can
make home. l not only admire wo-
man as the most beautiful object ever
created, but l reverence her as the re-
deeming glory of humanity, the sane
tuary of all the virtues, the pledge of
all perfect qualities of heart and head.
1t is not just nor right to lay the sins
of men at the feet of women. 1t is
because women are SO much better
than men that their faults are con-
sidered greater. A mans desire is the
foundation of his love, but a woman's
desire is born of her love. The one
thing in this world that is constant,
the one peak that rises above all
clouds, the one window in which the
light forever burns, the one star that
darkness cannot quench, is women's
love. It rises to the greatest heights,
it sinks to the lowest depths. 1t for
gives the most cruel injuries. 1t is
perennial of life and grows in every
climate. Neither GOODNESS nor neg
lect, harshness nor cruelty can extin-
guish it. A woman's love is the per-
fume of the heart. This is the real
love that subdues the earth; the love
that has wrougt all miracles of art;
that gives us music all the way from
the cradle song to the grand closing
symphony that bears the soul away on
wings of fire. A love that is greater
than power, sweeter than life, and
stronger than DEATH"

WHAT'S A FRIEND?
PLL TELL YOU

"What is a friend? / will tell you.
1t is a person with whom you dare to
be yourself. Your soul can go naked
with him. He seems to ask Of you to
put on nothing, only to be what you
are. He does not want you to be bet
ter or worse. When you are with him
you feel as a prisoner feels who has
been declared innocent. You do not
have to be on your guard, You can
say what you think so long as it is
genuinely you. He understands those
contradictions in your nature that lead
others to misjudge you. With him
YOU breathe free. You can take or
your coat and loosen your collar. You
can avow your little vanities and en-
yies and hates and vicious sparks,
YOUR meanness and absurdities, and
in opening them up to him they are
lost, dissolved, on the white ocean of
his loyalty. He understands. You do
not have to be careful. You can abuse
him, neglect him, tolerate him. lie
likes you. He is like fire that purges
all you do. He is like water that
cleanses all that you say. He is like
wine that warns you to the bone. He
understands, he understands. You
can weep with him, laugh with him,
sin with him. pray with him. Through
and underneath it all he sees. knows
and loves you. A friend, / repeat, is
one with whom you dare to be your
self"

10,463,O13 negroes, 242,959 Indians,
HOPS Japanese, 51,686 Chinese, and
9,485 others. There was an increase in
the white population in the proceed
ing ten years of 16 per cent, and of
only 6.5 per cent in the number Of ne
groes, which is the smallest increase
in negro population ever known. The
increase Of the number of negroes in
the north and west was 72,4S1, and
in the south of 1922 or only 10 per
cent, although S5 per cent of the ne
groes still remain in the south. Of the
total population, 53,9O0,376 were
males and Sal, S1O,214 were females,
or 1000, 1872 more males than females.
Along the Atlantic coast there were
more females than males but for the
country as a whole there were 1903
males to 100 females. The total pop
ulation of Missouri was 8, 404,055. On
ly three other countries have larger
population than the United States,
and they are Russia, India and China.

FIRST ROCKET TO MOON.
Planned to be Set OFT in Septefn-
Der; Flash Will Tell When
it Lands.

Worcester, Mass, Jan. 2S.--Frss trial
Of the rocket which it is hoped will reach
the moon will be held early this summer,
IL 3 announced by Prof. Robert II. Cod
dard of Clark University, the inventor.
II will be designed so it will give of Hash
when il strikes that will be seen from the
earth. The Smithsonian Institution Is
financing him up TO $4,000. Beyond TINS
he is forced 60 finance himself, and he
frankly states that he hopes some one
sufficiently interested VIII give aid.
The propelling force of the rocket
would be smokeless powder. Tho gases
would be ejected from the rocket at
high velocity, and with each successive
EXPLOSION the rocket would be boosted
higher. He explained that to reach an
attitude of twenty-five miles rocket
weighing twenty-five pounds would be
necessary. OF the total weight about seven
teen pounds would be powder.
lie calculates that with an initial mass
charge weighing 6436 pounds he could
cause an explosion on the surface OF the
moon large enough TO be seen from the
Garth through telescope. This rocket
would travel $500 to 1000 feet second.

Helping the Big Family

Assemblyman THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
who seems to have his fathers dis
like Of race suicide, plans to help
fathers of large families. lie wants
the State to allow an exemption from
income taxation of 5000, instead 'of
5000 for each dependent child.
This is fair. Income taxes are sup
posed, in theory, to be laid where
they can best be borne. AS the law
stands a man whose income Is $4,000
and who has five dependent children
has to pay as much income tax as
Il married man who has an income
of $4,000 and no children. The State
really throws off $40 because the
man has five children; but that $40
would not buy shoes for more than
one Of the youngsters. Under the law
proposed by Colonel ROOSEVELT the
father of five with an income less
than $4,000 would pay no tax.

There the exemption Of 5000 for each
depeQdent child is the same, but the
Federal tax rate Is higher. The man
with five children and an income of
$4,000 pays a tax of $50. His child
less neighbor, also with an income
of $4,000, pays $120. How far, says
the father of five, will that exemption

Arabia; A New View.

An Arabia which Is not all n DESC
late waste of shifting desert sand, Of
mud hut villages, nomadlc Bedouins,
inhospifable natives and robber bands
Is the Arabia which III. ST. j. Il.
PHILBY found in journey from the
Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, and
which he describes in the Geogrdphi-
cal Journal. PALGRAvE wrote inter-
estingly of Arabia in the last century,
as did DOUGHTY, man of painstaklng
research, but Mr.. PHIIBY gives us a
view Of Arabia to-day, view in which
he sees this ancient land under a new
and more kindly aspect.
There are not the usual touches
Of Arabian adventures I'm the ndrra-
tive, since not once were the travel
lers in peril from the natives. Old
IBN SAUD at one end of the route and
the new ruler of Mecca mt the other
had made the way safe by killing or
imprsoning all suspected bandits.
On the evening of the second day
out the party looked down upon tfYe
oasis Of Hasa, the most hourlshing
spot in oil desert Arabia. It's COM
mercial centre r. the town of Huff,
the existence OF which Is almost un-
known to the world. Yet it has a
busy merchant and artisan class, who
make a superior grade Of brass work,
highly ornamental gold work and
many kinds Of leather work, all OF
which find a good market outside Of
Arabia. One day week Is set aside
ms market day, when the whole popu-
lation of the district, amounting to
perhaps 100000 persons, congregates
in It's broad market street. Here is the
famous mosque Of IBRAHIM Pasha,
which came near destruction dur
ing the world war. The great white
dome and graceful minnret combine
the salient features Of the Saracen
and Byzantine architecture, and stand

From Loom to Pedler's Pack.

From Webster, Massachusetts, comes
tale Of enterprise on the part of
idle mill operatives which gives heart
and strength to the belief that Yam
kee resourcefulness and enterprise
have not weakened with the years.
1t appears that:
"Textile operatives laid off by the
Intervale Mills are following a new
plan to tide them over the period of
depression.
THE mill workers have turned
statesmen of the cloth that they pro-
duced, the mills selling the product
to them at cost and the operatives
taking it to nearby cities and towns
for sale for such profits as they can
obtain.
Success to date has been varied.
but some families have been as
sisted materially"
Undoubtedly the established trad
ers in the territory invaded by these
amateur commercial travellers protest
violently against such competition
and those stringent laws Of the old
Bay State which regulate peddling
are enforced with vigor when the
chairman of the Board of Selectmen
owns the general store.
The system is not without draw.
hbacks and weaknesses. 1t has one
thing in its favor, however. These
courageous men .and women have
demonstrated their possession of self
reliance, initiative and pluck-for il
takes pluck to carry a mill worker
through the strange adventure of ped.
ding. They did not sit down and
whine for Congress or the State Legis.
lature or the County Commissioners
to provide for them. They looked
around for means with which to pro-
vide for themselves. When they
thought of an apparently practicable
plan they found their former employ
ers ready to help. Instead Of looking
for somebody to take care of them
they tried to help themselves.
The Webster self-reliants will come
through hard times better than will
the most graceful solicitors of charity
in the world.

of the State and undoubtedly the
largest owner of tobacco lands in
Kentucky, said that he could afford TO
pay $500 an acre for CastletOn if the
property could be secured, and ven
tured the opinion that in tobacco It
would pay for itself in two years.
And so it went over much Of the
State. Men like JOSEPH L. WDENER
of Philadelphia who were eager to
establish breeding farms in Kentucky
were unable To buy acreage ut any
thing like the prices prevailing before
the tobacco craze. II is said that Mr..
WDENER gave $500 an acre for Ell
mendorf. Less wealthy devotees of
breeding were forced to curtail their
operations, and in some instances,
when they could not afford to refuse
the price offered for their lands, they
sold out and retired from the field
temporarily. Many have been con-
sidering seriously moving their studs
to that region of Virginia about
Charlottesville, where the blue grass
is found in profusion.
The amount of tobacco now in the
hands Of the growers is estimated at
100000 pounds, and 1t is this that
the agitators want held over for
higher prices. But the extremely low
price is said to be due not only to the
very large crop but to the enormous
amount of low grade tobacco which
it contains and for which there is
little use.
The bankers of the region having
advanced money to carry the crop
are vitality interested in the situation
and are watching developments. The
fact that a run on Lexington insti-
tuition was one Of last weeks happen
ings illustrates the state Of mind of
the people of the tobacco growing dis
trict Of the Blue Grass State.

Kentucky's Troubles.

There is lesson for the farmers
and planters of the country in the
Kentucky tobacco situation.
The State Of Kentucky was for
many years the largest producer of
fine thoroughbred. saddle bred and
standard bred horses, shorthorn cat
tie, pedigreed sheep and hogs, and its
fame for its live stock was interna-
tional. With the discovery that the
soil in certain districts produced a
particularly fine quality of leaf to-
bacco, known as white hurley, much
of the soil was sown to this staple
The profits from tobacco were so large
that many stock breeders abandoned
their older and steadier occupation
and planted an ever increasing acre
age in tobacco, unmindful of the world
old law of supply and demand. To-
day, with the warehouses and barns
of the growers filed, they are caught
in recediug market and are panic
stricken.
Some planters are for holding the
1920 crop until higher prices prevail.
Delegates at a convention held in
Lexington on Friday voted to plant no
tobacco this year. It Is believed that
many planters will refuse to follow
the will Of the convention. If this
course is pursued night riding Is
among the complications to be feared.
There Is movement on the part of
many to return to live stock produc-
tion. 1t takes time, however, TO re-
store grazing lands, and meanwhile
tobacco growers who paid from $500
to $500 an acre for land which was
worth from $50 to $3.50 for stock
raising are confronted with the prob
lem OF getting a fair return on the
money invested.
The extent to which the fine stock
farms Of Kentucky, chiefly In the
neighborhood OF Lexington. were d.
terted to tobacco production may best
be explained by the statement that
ten years ago the seven mile area be-
tween that town. and the famous
Caaleton Farm of the late JAMES II.
