OFFICE JOBS, PERJURY.

future of her girls.
thought that 1t would be well to
give them training In some business
capacity.
"Yes. But l don't want them sim
ply to be tit for an Office job and
penury. And / rule out teaching. The
life is too hard-and, again, too poor
ly paid. want them to know how
to do something that will lead TO free
dom, not slavery. And | want them
to work at something that will grow
an interest, not become bore"
1t was quite large order, and yet
reasonable. One of the girls was dis
tinctly an artist. and her mother was
going to give her n course in COM
merclal designing. The second daugh-
ter was to be trained In domestic sci
ence and catering and the oldest girl
was TO take an agricultural course. For
each girl the mother had invested q
sum of money that, while not large,
would give the required start in their
different professions.
If there were little more OF this
sort of scheming for girls, things would
be a lot easier for them. Most girls
are driven to office jobs as the easiest
road 10 follow. Which Is one reason
why they are so poorly paid.

KIDD NOT PIRATE
And His Treasure a Fable, Says
Archivist.
Massachusetts, Authority Asserts That
Lord Bellomont Was Arch seoun-
dreI-High-PIaced Ad"enturers.

Song and story are wrong. Captain
Kidd was not pirate and his tabled
treasure does not exist. Privateers-
man he was, but of good repute His
hanging as a pirate and murderer on
execution dock at London In 1701 was
to satisfy the political exigencles Of
the time
These are the findings Of John Fl.
Edmonds, state archivist for Massa-
chusetts, as announced I'm lecture
at the old South Meeting house.
Archivlst Edmonds was discussing
Lord Bellomont and the pirates"
Bellomont. he said, was appointed
governor of New England I'm 1895 with
a special mission to suppress piracy.
Before leaving England" Mr.. Ed
monds contended. "he agreed with
Capt. William Kidd, privateersman
Of good repute from New York, to
proceed against pirates In a ship
called the Adventure, galley. on no
capture-po-pay' basis. The adventurers
included Captain Kidd. Robert Liv-
ingston, Lord Chancellor Somers, %he
earl OF oxford, first lord of the ad-
miralty; the earl of Romney, and the
duke of Shrewsbury, 5ecretaries OF
state; Bellomont and the straw men,
to whom the kings grant Of treasure
was later made, did not contribute a
cent.
"On September O. 1896, with
crazy vessel and crazier crew,
Captain Kidd proceeded on his mis-
sion," the archlvist said. "He picked
up several pirates. including "a
Moorish ship Of 200 tons and Ben
gal merchantman Of 500 tons, both
having French passes and being law
full prizes"
He came to New York and then to
Boston through the trickery Of Bello-
mont, who promised him safe con-
duct with the remnant of his crew
he was arrested, sent to England, tried
for murder and piracy, convicted and
hung on Execution dock Friday, May
%, 1901. to satisfy the political ex-
lgencies of the times.
"It was either Lord Bellomont, the
lord chancellor, the first lord of the
admiralty. the secretaries of state or
Captain Kidd, and under this circum-
stance he had no chance. Collusion
and perjury are plainly evident In his
trial; the French passes which would
have cleared him of the piracy charge.
though produced In parliament, were
suppressed In the Admiralty court.
The least said about Bellomont's ac-
tion In the matter the better. He
fooled Kidd, he fooled his council, and
the worst Of It is, he allowed II In
his letters to the lords of trade.
"The Captain Kidd of today is a
composite pirate made up of all who
frequented our shores from 1887 to
1897. Propaganda of the worst kind
blackened the reputation Of a man
of whom recognized French author
ity says: 1T may be well doubted
whether any man In equally trying
circumstances has ever been truer to
his trust
"And yet the great American public
persists In calling Captain Kidd
pirate and in searching for his treas
ure. which does not exist"

LEGION MEN VISIT. FRANCE
American Party on Tour Of Former
Battle Sectors; at FIirey Monu-
ment Dedication.

The new "A. F.. f." Is In France
on n mission much unlike that of the
A. Il. 4. OF l9l7-l9lS. The new forces
are only $50 strong. They comprise
members of the American Legion who
are touring the former battle sectors
this summer as guests Of the French
government.
Every state and every branch OF
service is represented in the peaceful
new A. T.. +. They sailed from New
York on the George Washington.
There was n noisy bon voyage" at the
docks as the former presidential ship
started on its course. Flags of the
United States and the American Le-
gion flew from the mast.
Commanding or rather heading tho
pilgrimage was John G. Emery, the
Legion's national commander. For
mer commanders Franklin D'olier and
Henry ID. Lindsey were present.
Arriving ut LeIlnvre, the citizen ex-
pedition was received with great eclat'
after which II proceeded to Paris un-
der tow OF French officials. From
Paris the party set out by special train
for Blois to attend the dedication Of
the Joan Of Arc statue presented to
the French city by the Joan of Arc
Committee of New York.
While at Blois, the veterans Invaded
the old headquarters OF the army re-
classification board, known better By
the doughboy as the "benzine board
Here the Americans staged burlesque
of benzlne hearing during which a
score of the pilgrims were "blooyed"
as they used to say In the days of the
lighting A. Il. +.
Every city visited by the former de-
tenders has received them with aims
wide-open. That France has not for
gotten Is everywhere evidenced by the
cordiallty OF the receptions. AT Bor-
deaux, the Leglonnalres received The
freedom OF the city" from the high
officials. From there they went to
Tarbes to visit the birthplace of Cen
eral Foch. They placed memorial
tablet upon the house that first shell
tered the famous generalissimo.
The former fighters were impressed
by the rapidity with which many OF
the ruined towns have been rebuilt.
Some Legionnaires have gone over the
exact location where they fought the
battle OF liberty and where many OF
their buddles fell In action.
Probably the most impressive cet
emony participated In by the Amerl-
cans was the dedication of the Fllrey
monument. This memorial Is tribute
TO the valor OF the doughboys who
delivered the little town of German
occupation. Fllrey is familiar ground
to many American soldiers. II Is on
the ridge which was the main line
OF resistance OF the old Toul sector.
II was at Fllrey that the Eighty
ninth, from Kansas and Missouri, went
into conflict. Seventeen American
divisions fought in the vicinity of the
little town, which itself was occupied
by regimental headquarters of troops
holding the line.
At the close of their tour the Leglor
men will go TO Paris where they will
have three days A. w. o. L., nftel
which they VIII sail on their retirI
voyage The party is expected 10 re
turn about September 10.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
GOSSIP.

OSSIP" or "gosslb," as
" Chaucer spelled 1t. was
the name given by the Hamp-
shire peasantry TO the persons
who acted as sponsors In bap-
tlsm, the godfathers and god
mothers. 1t was compound
word, made up of the name
God" and the word "sib," still
used In Scotland In the sense Of
"akin"--the meaning being that
the gossip was akin to God and
stood In this relation to the
child, sense which Is still ex-
tant In our own word "god-
parent"
Considering gossip" In it's
ordinary use as one addicted to
tattling or prattling or the car
rying OF tales and 1t appears to
bear little relation to the word
as originally coined. But 1t
should be remembered that the
"gossibs" were brought by a
common sponsorship into a
close familiarity with one an
other, which led eventually to
trivial, idle talk and the carry
ing of information from one to
another. That this falling is
not peculiar to Anglo Saxon
godparents is evident from an
examination Of the French word
commerage and the fact thar
commere has passed through
precisely the same stages as
its English equivalent.

Something to
Think AbOut
MOTHERS MAKE MEN.

- head of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works in Philadelphia, has had wide
experience in the selection as well as
the handling Of men.
He admits that he has q method, a
secret, In making his selections.
HE FINDS OUT WHAT KIND OF
A MOTHER A BOY HAS, and pays
no attention to the father. In the
course of long business life he has
made few exceptions to this rule.
This theory of Mr.. Vauclain has a
negative as well as positive side.
1t explains not only why so many
undistingushed fathers have distin-
guished sons. but also why so many
fathers who are failures have sons
who are successful.
There are two sides to the question.
For one thing there is tendency on
the part of boy to derive his pre-
dominant traits from his mother.
For another, the mother is obvious.
ly more Instrumental than the father
In creating the environment which
plays large part In the development
of the sons.
In the average home the problem
Of providing minimum of income
which Is the duty of the father-is
much less complicated than the prob
lem of making both ends meet-which
Is the problem of the mother
Long before statesmen ever dreamed
familiar to the women. In one gen.
GRAFTON after another they have had
to pay their way with resources that
did not Increase in proportion as the
families grew.
The carefulness, prudence and fore
sight that woman displays in run
ming her house naturally show them
selves In the bringing up of her men
children. If she Is incompetent and
shiftless in one direction, she will be
the same In the other.
The mother, as distinguished from
the father, has played a leading part
in the formative period of men of con-
splcuous genius who have lifted them
selves "by their bootstraps" into places
of great eminence.
The mothers of Abraham Lincoln
and Napoleon BOnaparte supply the
only available explanations of the rise
to leadership of two men who are
types of success, under the most diff
ficult circumstances.
In each case a powerful dominant
character made possible the passage
from log cabin to the White House
and from Corsica TO the leading place
in Europe and an imperial throne
In our own time the supreme quail
tiles of Marshal Foch are traceable
TO the powerful individuality of his
mother.
From the dawn of history TO the
| present day, In sacred and secular
affairs the influence OF the mother
has always been the greatest factor
In the development of ability or ge.
MUS. She has been the source of in
| Sphat 40 SHS WIS the SOuISe VI
| being.
Sometimes she has pulled the chill
dren, handicapped by the fathers
characteristics up to her own level.
Sometimes she has pushed them
above both herself and the father by
an indomltable determination that
neither poverty nor III fortune of any
kind should interfere with her am.
bitions.
Mr.. Vauclain's plan Of selection will
serve Its purpose In the great majority
OF instances. He Is safe In conclud
Ing that II the boy had the right kind
of u mother he can count on his heing
the right kind OF boy.
