z ccepyrisht. 1854,
John d. Rockefeller. H., IL going
to dedicate in Pekin new build
ines for the Union Medical Col
ieEe, established by the Rockefel-
lars In China. That Is the best
missionary that one country can
send for another.
Modern science can cleanse the
leper, wipe out the plague where
it starts, and wipe out worse
plague, ignorance. and in places
where that starts.
\ Some minds are not open to new
religious teaching. Some even
think their own religion quite sat
isfactory and resent efforts Of
well-meAninR strangers to convert
their children and prove their lo-
cal gods disreputable.
But all welcome the missionary
work that the Rockefellers do,
sending kerosene to light their
houses, and using the profits on
scientific institutions to light the
brain. 1t should be an instructive
trip for young Mr.. Rockefeller.
He is now offered $1,000 for an
article of 1000 words on these
topics:
what are the great differences
between America and China; and
why it would be fatal for this
country to permit unlimited Asiat-
ic immigration?"
"Same laws and rules for both
sexes" say the thoughtful ones.
But they don't get same laws and
rules. The world has just read Of
I, the young Canadian trained nurse
that killed herself.
First she had made . fool Of
herself, poor girl, with the help Of
some doctor. The doctors wife
knew Of it, went to the nurse and
begged her. Hleave my husband
alone"
Tho young nurse promised that
she would do it, and did, killing
herself with poison. II cannot
give that man up, but / can give
myself and life up" she said to the
wifA II have taken the poison;
you need not wo,ry any more
about your husband"
The wife took her to hospital.
Now the nurse is buried. The
wife is beck with her husband.
And, most delicious of all, the DO
lice say Eve are not giving out
names on account of the doctor in
the case 1t might hurt his prac-
tice."
In the old days Of the cave and
the mammoth, the wife, mistress
of the cave, would have hit the 9TH
er lady on the head with . club.
You observe imprQyement there.
Wives don't kill the man. because
cave instincts are still with them.
They had to keep the man alive
to keep bears from eating the chill
dren, so they pleaded and fought
with each other.
Harding plans a super-race Of
Americans" says the newspaper
heading. The President is too wise
to plan that. But he is planning
to improve this race that needs
improvement in several directions.
The President wisely has enlisted
the services of Brigadier General
Sawyer, trained scientist, thinker
and doctor; one whose studies have
not closed his mind to the possi-
bilities of Improvement.
Observing that one-third of the
men called to the draft were de-
fective physically, General Saw
yer will try to remedy that, be-
| ginning with mothers and their
babies, which is the right Begin
ming. The idea is to help mothers
before and during childbirth, saw
ing many of the 25,000 mothers
that die during childbirth every
lyear and scores of thousands of
ehildren that die every year un-
necessarily. That will be a good
beginning. The "super-race" can
rome after. You won't see it for
another 100,000 years.

Smell beat all at the University of
Cambridge in the law examina-
tions. She stands Eat the head Of
the law tripos."
Young women do their best work
as mothers, and the more intelli-
gent they are the more important
it Is that they should have as many
children as possible.
To create several intelligent
brains is more important than de-
veloping your one good brain.
But for, young women that will
not be content with the only great
female profession. the study Of law
and of astronomy Is recommended.
In both they can excel. With the
temperamental, to use the foolish
word, that don't like fireside or
books, music and acting should
take the place of law and as
tronomy. All women should keep
