A Woman's Mind Changed

A woman of whom we have
heard great deal has been dis
illusioned.
Emma Goldman, the anarchist,
who was deported from our coun-
try and sent to Russia some time
ago, has discovered that America
is pretty good place after all.
When she was here, she spent her
time mainly in trying to overthrow
our government by ''red revolu-
ton" Now she is complaining
about how things are going on in
Russia where they have had the
reddest revolution in the history
of the world. She says: II find
less liberty in Russia than in the
United States" l am going back
to the United States to find free
DOM"
It's just possible that she may
change her mind again when she
discovers that even the freedom to
return is denied her.

Feminine Trait Vanishing

One of the puzzling phenomena
of the day appears to be the mys-
ferrous increase in boards and mus
taches on women's faces. This is
especially notable in the larger
cities. The women of Paris seem
most worried over the situation.
French hospital statistics show
that eleven per cent of all women
patients are afflicted in this way.
Physicians say that the tobacco
and liquor habits, into which
French women are fast falling. ac-
count for the sudden appearance
of this peculiar masculine charac-
teristic. At any rate, it is appar-
ent that the balance of forces
which have determined our per-
sonalties has in some way been dis
turbed by the new ways of modern
women.

Publicity Not Wanted

Many prominent women of
Huntington, West Virginia, have
been victimized by a new game. A
woman called at the exclusive
homes of the city taking orders for
q special kind of corset: She took
her customers measures very care
fully and collected half the pur-
chase price as deposit.
The corsets failed to arrive on
time; and finally the purchasers
became suspicious and started an
investigation. They were much
embarrassed when they found out
that the saleslady had not been
one of their own sex at all but a
man masquerading as a woman.
Of course it is difficult matter
to talk about; and consequently
they will probably never recover
their money.

that they do it by the actual ap-
plication Of the principles set out
in these articles.
In the scout troop, for example,
the boy in his play is given 3 man
of character for his leader who will
be his companion and "chum. "
Through interestin his play ac-
tivities, the man "fellowships" the
boy, and the boy finds companion
ship in the man. With this vital
contact established in the form Of
an intimate, trusting friendship,
the man shares with the boy the
ideals of his life. AS one writer
puts it: "The character of the
man, his friend and boon compan-
ion, is literally caught by the
boy"
The result is that the good boy
or girl scout is q good citizen al
ready and will never DO any other
kind. Moreover, the problem Of
character training is virtually
solved when the lad il properly
started in scout work. Parents
ought not to wait for scouting to
come to their boys and girls but
should help to organize it every
where. This is only another Of the
steps we may readily take in try
ing to control the formation Of
ideals in our children.

A Man Who Kept Sunny

There is a wholesome lesson in
the new turn which has come in
the career of William Howard
Taft.
AS president of the United
States, he was the victim of cir
cumstances nearly beyond human
control and hopelessly defeated for
reelection. Very many men
would have been dlsgruntled and
soured by the seeming injustice Of
it. He preserved his genial opti-
mism and kindly good nature
through the hard ordeal and kept
right on doing what seemed most
worth while in the very best way
he knew.
Now he has become Chief Jus.
tice of our Supreme Court, an
office in every sense as lofty and
honorable as the presidency. He
is the first man that has ever hello
both of these high stations in GU,
government.

watseka's Blind Queen"

When the town of Watseka, ILL
nois, was asked to select a queen"
to take part in the pageant held in
Chicago in connection with the
opening of the Dixie highway, it's
citizens chose Miss Emma Laux,
the village telephone operator, who
has been cripple since childhood
and walks on crutches. She was
named, the citizens said, not alone
because she was pretty but be-
cause she embodied the queenly
qualities of courage and cheerful
ness under any conditions, faith in
herself and neighborliness, which
Watseka desired to emphasize
most strongly. "She is our most
typical girl" they claimed, "and
we selected her because we want
other cities to Judge us by her."

The Problems OF
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives. Mothers,
and Sisters
A Help in Child Training

Twice in this column an attempt
has been made to show the far
reaching consequence of the alb
sorption of ideals by our children
unawares from those about them.
Mothers can not fix their attention
too intently upon this silent but
momentous process in the lives of
their children since these ideals,
which seem to creep in by stealth,
prove to be the forces which f.
nally rule our little ones lives and
determine their destinies.
The utmost that we can do, by
the last possible measure of de.
voted effort, to give to our children
really intimate friends and com.
panions, who are morally clean and
wholesome, is still too little. Per.
haps in no other duty Of parent.
hood do we fall so far short.
There is help for troubled par.
ents in the boy and girl scout
movement. Indeed, this organiza.
ton is accomplishing successfully
what very many mothers and
fathers can not do at all in the
way of directing the development
even of their own children's char.
acters. Nor need we be surprised

A Modern Prophets Vision
One Of the most hopeful signs Of
the new day which seems to be
dawning in human history is the
broader and fairer view that many
people are taking Of public ques-
tions. Former Secretary Elihu
Root in q recent address made
clear the great need of this kindlier
attitude Of mind if peace and good
viii are TO be established among
the nations of the earth. His
words, which are given below, seem
worthy of the thoughtful reflection
Of men and women everywhere.
"The new democracies mean
what is right. They wish for
peace. They abhor war, but they
are most imperfectly informed. In
every country, you will find the
people. even in the democracies,
holding that their country is al
ways right. For them there is
only one side of every question,
and that is their country's side.
They must learn that the idea of
justice is not only justice to them
selves, but justice to others; that
liberty is not only that they shall
be free but that they shall be glad
chat others are free. They must
learn that respect for the feelings
and prejudices of others is a con-
dition of having their own feelings
and prejudices respected"

Parents Break Strike

What some people call Young
America received a severe setback
in Augusta, Michigan, recently.
One of their number received
corporal punishment in school, and
the rest went on a strike. Parents
stepped in promptly with the
proposition that their progeny
should return to school forthwith
or get what their martyred friend
had got at school. The next day
every seat was filled as usual.
Society Woman Enters Business World
Having felt the feminine pulse
during the last decade, Mrs. Elsie
Waterbury Morris, wife Of Gov.
ernor Morris, the author, 10 one Of
the latest society women to enter
the business world.
Mother OF two children, one ten
years old and the other. fourteen,
Mrs. Morris says that she has been
waiting for them 70 grow up %
that she might go into business.
She figures" that az they spend
much of their time in school, in
exercising, and at taking various
lessons at'which she is not present,
there is no reason why. she might
not now turn to the business world,
at least during the times when they
are not in her keeping.
. Since women everywhere are
bent upon identifying themselves,
q society matron like Mrs. Morris
has enjoyed excellent opportunity
to observe this. Consequently she
has opened shop in one Of our
large cities, a shop where women
may receive facial treatments.
Selecting the name, Primrose
House, as suggestive of the deli
cacy desired by her patrons-to-be,
Mrs. Morris plans to have this
shop duplicate itself in many large
cities all over the world. In her
first shop she will serve as vice
president and manager of the cor
poration, counting upon her wide
acquain tanceship to help in estab-
fishing the business.
This clever woman has hit upon
an excellent plan, for, having dis
covered the thing that women
want, the luxury for which they
are willing to pay a good price, she
has set about to supply it. And
after all, is there a better key to
success anywhere for any sort of
business, whether it be managed
by man or woman?

A Capable Business Woman
In these days when women are
doing all sorts OF things they never
did before, it is interesting to note
that one has actually become q
railroad president.
Mrs. Meta ]. Erickson, of Oak
land, California, is president Of the
Amador Central Railroad. In this
capacity, she signs all checks and
places her approval on all con-
tracts.
It is true that the Amador Cen
trail is not much of q railroad as
railroads 60, being only twelve
miles long and owning only four To-
comotives. At that, the gross bus
mess amounts as q rule to more
than 100000 per year and the
net earnings to nearly half of this
so that it is q business Of consider
able magnitude after all.

To Remove Adhesive Tape

eS~eseO 4AseASSSSS
Children sometimes suffer great
ly when adhesive has to be re-
moved from the dressing of wounds.
To accomplish this advantageously
dip piece of absorbent cotton in
gasoline and rub it over the tape.
This loosens the coating from the
tape, allowing it to be pulled off
easily. The tape itself may then
be removed from the skin by
means of several additional appli-
cations of gasoline. Remember
that gasoline is dangerous, how
ever, if used near fire.

prejudice that many of the older japanese cherish.
they having been brought up in the prc'ailing school
Of japanese diplomacy that %inclincs toward a mer-
cenary grasping economic aim, and an ambition for
territorial expansion regardless Of the rights and the
desires of others.
Hirohlo has had the advantage of a prolonged
tour Of other countries during which he became ae-
quainted with foreign customs and peoples. His an
nouncement upon his return that Japan had much TO
Learn from the Western nations, and his latest out
spoken determination to bring his country to an agree
able policy with the other powers will serve to show
that it is his desire to follow as closely as possible
in the general plans at Washington.
Naturally the movements Of Japan dc not rest
as a whole with Hirohito. The representatives here
have control Of the situation. But they cannot help
being influenced by the attitude Of their regent, and
it is infinitely to the good of the conference that it
will be a receptive intelligence working from the East
rather than an antagonistic one.
