DIVORCED LoNG-DEAD WIFE
Chinese Merchants Action Due TO
Belief That Her Spirit Caused
New Helpmate's Illness.

How Chinese merchant divorced
his wife after she had been dead for
several years is the gist of a story
which appeared in the Chinese press
recently.
A Soochow tea merchant. the mar
rative says. by the name of Lyuh. had
taken a second wife some time after
the death OF his first. AS a result
OF the second union daughter was
born. Several days after giving birth,
the young mother was taken III and
grew worse and worse as time went
by.
All sorts of healing methods were
tried without avail and It was feared
that the young wife would die. At
last a woman was called in and gave
the opinion that the spirit of the
mans former wife was causing the
illness. Prayers were then offered to
the dead wife, but still there were no
signs OF the living wife's recovery.
The woman then suggested that the
husband draw up a deed divorcing
the dead wife Just as If she were
alive. This the husband. for time.
refused to do. but was later prevailed
upon 10 do so in order to save his
second wife's life. The deed was
then taken to temple and burned
on the altar.
Immediately afterward the living
wife showed signs of recovery and
was soon her normal self again.

MANICURING PRODUCES
HEALTHY FINGER NAILS


II is not vanity alone that is salts
fed by the careful manicuring OF ing
er nails. The nail that is polished
every day keeps its youth longer than
the one that is neglected.
The friction of the buffer stimulates
the circulation of the blood around
and under the nail. which is enough
to keep the nail itself fresh ana young
in appearance and to do away. to an
extent. with the tendency toward
ridges.
II will not. of course. do away en-
tirely with ridges. These are due TO
organic causes. Sometimes they have
to be treated by eliminating uric acid
from the system. which is something
one should do in any case. and some
times they are treated by keeping the
nails fed with the proper sort OF oils.
And sometimes they can be treated in
the following way;
Take a small piece of broken glass
and wrap all but one side of it with
cotton so that you cannot cut your
fingers. Manicure your nails as usual,
but before you are ready to polish
them let them soak several moments
in little warm. soapy water. Then
dry them and take the glass and run
il lightly over the most prominent
ridges on the nails. You can actually
peel off or scrape on these ugly lines.
but you must be careful not to get
on too much. You will be surprised
how easily the surface ofNthe nail will
peel.
Then polish the nail with a plain
buffer and no polishing powder You
may use polishing powder another
time without injury, but in this case
you have exposed the nail below its
outer surface, and drying polishing
powder is inadyisable. In fact. it is
a good idea to rub the nail with oil
or cold cream after this treatment.

How 10 Succeed-How to Get

By JESSIE ROBERTS
LIBRARIANS.

THE demand for the trained H.
i brarian is on the increase. But
many young women are leaving the
regular library TO take up allied work
that pays better.
The new demand outside OF the reg
ular library comes from big business
corporations who want their business
organized. Special literature of all
sorts is part Of their daily material,
and they see the need OF a proper in
dexing for all this material, and for
making ii available for Immediate use
as the books ina library are available.
Aside from the bigger concerns are
such clients as lawyer or a doctor
with large practice. Such men will
often have a whole library that is use
less unless properly indexed.
Many women who began as librar-
ians are now holding excellent posi-
itlons. where their library training
proved the essential in their new
work. dbsaIh
As the librarian can as yet look for
ward at best to hardly more than ST.
500 year. the best trained and more
ambitious women are following the
commercial path. nE
But librarians training is proving
to be excellent for other work. Many
girls do not stop at organizing special
libraries for their new employers.
They 60 on to become heads of depart
mPnts, undertake the Installing of bus
mess systems. of filing and cata-
loguing. and even run offices OF their

LYRICS OFLIFE

BRAVERY.


A Ii bravery Is not In death,
n However glad and glorious
TO breathe the gases toxic breath.
Among the clouds a bird TO be,
Or TO go gown within the sea-
Oh. IT is brave to battle thus.
And yet not ali of bravery.
There is some bravery in life
That never wins the worlds
applause:
There is no thrill In daily strife
To set our pulses leaping high
Yet Drawer men may live than
die,
May suffer more I'm some good cause
Than they who now In slumber
lie.
All bravery is merely this:
To live or die. as fate demands,
But living, dying. never miss
The duty Conscience makes so
plain:
To know the right, the right
maintain,
Although IL lose us life or lands
And pay no recompense but
pain.
To face old. Death amid mems cheers.
Yea, that is bravery indeed
But to fight on through losing years.
Some unencouraged task to do.
Believe when none believe In
you,
In public smile, in secret bleed
May God not count this
something. too?

SENATOR FRANCE AND HIS
RADICAL VIEWS

United States Senator France
revealed enough OF his radical
views during the war to acquaint
the country with his true caliber.
but even so his latest exhibition
OF sympathy with the soviet
regime in Russia which took the
form OF bitter attack on Secre-
taries Hughes and Hoover Is
nothing short OF amazing. Pre-
viously the Maryland senator had
confined himself TO advocating
recognition OF the Lenine gov
eminent coupled with denunoia-
ton OF what he chose TO describe
as this country's capitalistic poll
cies. Apparently intent upon see
ing good in the long series OF ex
periments with the dictatorship
Of the proletariat. experiments
whose utter failure Lenine him
self has admitted. the Senator set
sail for Russia to make his per
sonal Investigations"
On arriving in Europe Mr..
France was informed that the
soviet authorities did not desire
his presence. This frigid recep-
ton. after all the speeches which
he had made in the Senate jim
favor of recognition. might have
been expected TO dampen the
ardor of so mighty an individual
as a United States senator. But
not so with Mr.. France. Learn
ing that mere expressions OF
sympathy were not deemed sufh-
cient for entry into this soviet
Utopia. he gave out an interview
denouncing two members of the
Cabinet OF his own party.
Senator France arrived later at
Riga and was permitted to CON
time on his journey to Moscow
He will, of course. observe only
what the soviet authorities deem
il best for him TO see. lie prob
ably will be entertained in what
luxury Moscow still retains. He
is likely TO see little of the pow
erty and abject misery in which
the millions of Russia now live
or the blood stains which give
their mute evidence of soviet
bipeheriess Ills ~eyc witness"
evidence will be useless and his
trip Worthless other than as a
sop to his inordinate vanity.
Senator France represents the
conservative state of MARYLAND,
which seldom has condoned subj
radical rtteranceS. His term ex-
pires in 1928, SO that next wear
he will be up for reelection. Tie
Republicans, af the country at
large are very generally of the
opinion that the party should DC
able to find a more creditable
nominee !.
4 That this suggestion is not
new one is to be gathered from
the reDorts of Senator \Neller's
visit TO Baltimore with State
Chairman TAFT during which
they were said to have been
closeted with Attornev-G General
Armstrong, Jacob France and
several others, following which
came well-grounded reports that
both Senator Weller and Mr..
TAFT are definitely in opposition
to Senator Frances re-nomina-

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
YANKEE"

VIZ HILE the genesis of the
" term Yankee as applied
by the English to Americans in
general. by Southerners to those
residing in the North and by
Northerners to New Englanders.
is shrouded In the mists of
colonial antiquity. there are at
least two explanations which
bear the ear-marks of truth and
logic.
The first. and most generally
accepted of these. is that the
word is a corruption of the
French Anglais or English"
used by the northern Indian
tribes during the early days of
the colonies. History states that
"Yengeese" was as close as the
Indians could come to the pro-
nunciation either Of the word
"Anglais" or English" and it
is easy to see how this. In turn,
could have become transmitted
into Yankee"
Another explanation. a tritie
more scholarly. is that Yankee
came either from the Scotch
"yankie" meaning smart or
shrewd or from the Dutch
"Jankin." which was the diminu-
tive of Jan or John. One au-
thority goes so far as to declare
that "Jankin" was the generic
name applied TO the English set
tiers of Connecticut by the
Dutch settlers OF New York.
The first known use Of the
term in print occurred in a
poem entitled Oppression"
published in 1865. in which APP
peared the line "Frem meanness
first the Portsmouth Yankee
rose The coupling of the
words Portsmouth and Yankee
would appear to bear out the
contention that the term was
one applied principally TO New
Englanders and therefore orig
inally of Dutch origin.

THE WOMAN'S LEGISLATIVE
CONVENTION

In the FIRST Woman's Legisla-
tive Convention ever held in
Maryland which took place on
Monday and Tuesday OF this
week there are one or two out
standing features.
One is the CELEBRITY with which
business was transacted The
convention was organized and
handled in a manner which would
have done credit TO veterans in
the field Of politics; and while
some of the conferees were
heroes. battle-scarred from the
fight for woman's suffrage. others
were newcomers. whose interest
in political and legislative ques-
tons dated only from the time of
their acknowledgements.
The League. whose object
avowedly is to devote its services
TO the furtherance Of legislative
measures for the bettcrrncnt OF
the condition OF women and chile
dren and to eRializipg the status
of men and women, heard reports
on the various bills OF this nature
now before Congress and favor
ably endorsed them all.
1t also put some strong fem
mist planks in the platform of its
Legislative program for the next
meeting OF the State Legislature.
notablys one demanding uniform
divorce laws for men and women.
This is running true to form,
as women have always said thar
once given a hand in politics they
would immediately proceed with
a program OF reconstruction that
would tend to purify the political
world. exterminate the demon
graft. and enable right to flourish
for its own sake; and their we'll
wishers of the male sex. whether
they originally wanted to give
them the vote or to withhold it
from them. hoped this would
prove so. for man likes to think
of woman as being a bit better
than himself.
Another outstanding feature of
the convention arose from the
fact that the Baltimore City dele
cation came down provided with
three resolutions asking for in
creased representation in the
Legislature for Baltimore -
carefully framed resolutions that
approached the subject from diff
ferent angles. but all with the
same end i'll view.
What. one NAV ask. has that to
do with Legislation for the I'm
provement of the Condition OF
Women and Children" Does it
not rather look like an effort to
swing 4 strong organization into
backing bit OF preferential lcgis-
lation. and as part of the propa-
ganda emauating from the same
sources that four years ago Viso-
rouSlv denied that annexation of
rich sections of Anne Arundel
and Baltimore counties to Balti-
more City would later be urged as
basis for increased representa-
ton for the city? However. the
Greater Baltimore League" of
1917 was the progenitor of the
lust Representation League" of
1921. and practically the same in
tiuenoes are being used to put
over the latter's program.
The fact that these resolutions
were killed in committee is not
apt TO alter the uniavorable inl-
preston made on the onlooker by
their having been presented. 1t
would be a pity if, after winning
their fight for acknowledgements,
the women allowed their organi-
cations to be used to further spe-
cial interests of any kind; and no
one would regret this fall from
a high ideal more than their fell
