WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.

News by parachute is the latest for

A metal lighter than aluminium, yet
tough, hard, and able to resist wear,
is had in an alloy of ninety per cent
magnesium with other metals.
Milk that keeps fresh for several
days in an ordinary room at ordinary
temperature is the result of a new
sterilization by electricity. A small
plant has been in operation for sew
eral months in Liverpool, with such
satisfactory results that great prom
ises are made for the new method,
which is very simple and economical
However, it kills the harmless germs
as well as the disease germs-a ques-
tionable advantage.
A fiashlight holder, attachable to a

A waterproof glue made of blood

Eat and grow hair" may be the
slogan for new food. If keratin-a

chemical basis for harris duplicated

tried the same food for himself, and
found that the hair responded.
The Bureau of Mines claims that
eighty per cent of the gas received in
the homes is wasted. How does this
happen? In many cooking and heat
ing appliances, the position of the gas
flame is incorrect. In cooking, the
point of the flame should touch the
pot. An incorrect mixture of gas and
air produces yellow flame of little
heat and much waste. A non-luminous
blue flame contains the greatest
amount of heat.
The inland lighthouse is the name

fraction of a second, illuminate the

Chicken farming by electricity has
proved very successful in California.
The heat in the incubators is regulat-
ed automatically, thus eliminating the
danger of overheating or chilling. One
such farm matches 100000 chicks a
month.

Church places before Catholic women
the model of the Blessed Virgin, the
sinless one, before whom the world
is bowed in admiration. Painters and
sculptors have produced the master
pieces of their genius in trying to
portray the perfections of her beauty.
Poets have sung her praises. The
pure in heart of all generations have
called her blessed. In her footsteps
tread the glorious army of true wom-
anhood.
But women who have failed to
grasp the true secret of their power
have made shipwreck of their own
lives, and have lost the ideal woman
hood in depths where materialistic
world seeks to place it. AS in other
cases, the woman pays the cost
every time. She may win the vote,
or smoke and drink with her cronies,
or dress in the freest pagan styles,
but she will find them all Dead Sea
fruit if she steps from her place OF
honor.

thing a woman can say about $50
P. NJ, is 'Dearie, the steak is ready,
and pretty blue eyes are all right, but
they don't mean SO much across a
plate of canned salmon to fellow
with hungry stomach"
Girls make big mistake when they
get the idea their husbands marry
them only for their good looks and
charm, according to Mrs. Heath. 9th
er thoughts enter, she says, about din
ner time on the third day.
Its all right to go to the beauty
parlor but it's good thing to tarry
awhile with the butcher on the way
back home" she said.
"And besides, if girl is really pret
ty, she'll be just as pretty, more SO
maybe, in a kitchen frock and an
apron. You never heard of man
leaving home because his wife wore
an apron in the house."
Obviously, Mrs. Heath, as well as
Miss Eaton, speak of matrimony only
from the materialistic viewpoint
While it is true that the ideal wife
and mother should make herself as
pleasing and attractive as possible, anG
that labor should employ her hands
it is even more important that virtue
dwell in her heart and modesty shine
uoon her brow.

1t is no more reasonable to blame
the Catholic Church for the high state
of illiteracy in some countries, because
her religion is the predominant one,
than it is to hold the Protestant
churches responsible for the greater
illiteracy of our own South because
they predominant in all the states
where illiteracy is high. In fact, 1t
is less unreasonable to make the lat.
ter charge, since the government of
the so-called Catholic countries Is hos
tile to all religion, while the govern
ments of all our southern states Is
friendly to Professionalism.
According to the latest report of the
United States Commissioner of Edu.
cation, fully one-half of the colored
children of the South are not in school
at all. Forty per cent of the negro
population of the United States Is
Protestant, and an additional thirty
five per cent is claimed, by the Meth
odists and Baptists principally, as oc
casional attendants at Protestant
churches. Less than two per cent oi
the colored population of the United
States is Catholic.
In some southern states, the whites
have received no better education thar
the colored. Four years ago, more
than 100000 white children in Ala
bama did not attend school; for every
4S white children in school there were
81 out of school the entire term. In
Mississippi, only $3.50 was spent per
child for education against $52.15 in
the state of New York; North Carolina
spent 1921 against $61.S9 in New Jer
sey; South Carolina spent $12.8C
against $685. in North Dakota.
Irish immigrants 100 years ago were
often called Ignorant Irish.' But
was the Catholic Church to blame? Al
that time, Catholics were not permit
ted by the government which ruled
Ireland to conduct or teach schools
or even to send their children abroad
to be educated. Since these penaI
laws have been removed there are nc

is THE WORLD LOSING RESPECT
FOR WOMANHOOD?

Correspondence from time to time
in the daily papers gives strong
grounds for the opinion that the world
is losing it's respect for womankind
The narrowing experiences of conflict
have lulled the finer sensibilities, and
the men have lost what Burke called
the chastity of honor" that charac-
terized the day of chivalry. There is
much that is true and much that is
untrue in this Indictment Surely
from signs appearing around us, there
has been a sad derogation from the
former ideals of men in regard to
womankind.
Woman comes into the world with
the dignity of a queen. Her power
is boundless If only she will not mis-
use it.
Women who have consistently cher
ished the ideal of honor will never
have to complain that the world is
losing its respect for them. The

EDUCATION ADVANCED BY THE
CHURCH IN SOUTH AMERICA.

In every country in South America
the Church supports numerous second
ary schools. Numerous teaching Or
ders concentrate their energies in
these fields. Universities
were early transplanted to Latin
America, where they fiourished. Six
were founded before Harvard (1636),
two of them almost a century before.
In all, twelve were established during
the colonial period: Santo Domingo,
1888; Lima, 1861; Mexico, 1858; Bo-
gotta, 1872; Cordoba, 1913; Sucre,
1923; Guatemala, 1875; Cuzco, 1892;
Caracas, 1921; Santiago de Chile,
1888; Habana, 1882; Quito, 1887. .
Every Latin American country has
one normal school, and most of them
have many (there are 72 in Ar
gentine). Chile has a normal school
dating from 1881. Brazil had nor
NAL school in 1921 (the first normal
school in the United States was
founded in 1856. Popular
Elementary education progressed
slowly in parts because of overwhelm-
ing indigenous populations, precari.
GUS finances, sparse settlement; the
Indians do not want an education be-
cause they do not see the use of it;
in some areas it might require 100
square miles to assemble enough chill

taxpayers often intervene.-Excerpts

That loom on my vision in dreams far
away,
And fancy there sparkles like gems in
the light
Her rivers which ever are limpid and
bright;
1 see her fair glens with the fairies at
play,
And l answer, her charms you may
ne'er take away.
Go stray where you will, be it distant
or far,
No light that will cheer you as light
from her star,
No moon that's more soft and no sun
that may WOO
The heart of a lover; there's no day
as true.
God gave her her beauty to be all her
own,
He gave her her blood, and her flesh
and her bone
AS he gave her her tongue, and the
rich Irish brogue
And the witchery of eyes, and the
truth and the vogue
That's her own, and wherever light
foot may stray
One knows it is hers to her very last
day.
All, yes, then is Ireland a beautiful
isle,
The breath of Gods fervor, the wealth
of His smile,
His last loving work when Creation
was done.
She will be His own child when our
freedom is won.

if traffic in women and girls is to be

was told, women found it easy to sup

said, severe restrictions on passports

The trade was said to be reviving
now with indications that it will be-
come still more active.

NO MORE PAVING PETITIONS
Senate to Hamper Work of Cement
Companies in Kansas.

If there is a brick and cement trust
in the state of Kansas-and everyone
in the legislature seems to have some
doubts on the matter-the state senate
means to hamper its work so far as is
humanity possible.
To this end, a bill from the senate
committee on cities of the second and
third class, of which Senator Howard
of Arkansas City is chairman, has been
introduced which makes it a crime for
the representative of any dealer or
manufacturer of any product used in
paving to circulate petition for the
paving of any street, avenue or alley
in a city of tie second or third class,
when the laws of the state make it
necessary for the initiative in such
paving operations to be taken thru
such petitions.
The bill is designed to keep the
agents of the manufacturing com
panies from starting and urging petit
tions for paving, whereby they shall
profit when the contracts are awarded.
Several miscellaneous bills from the
ways and means committee were in
troduced Tuesday night just before
the senate adjourned.

WOMEN IN HOMES AND

Countless women devote their whole
lives to their homes, while others are
in the business world, or find hap
piness only in society. Whether you
are a home woman, business woman,
or a society woman, you know how
hard it is to drag along" day after
day, suffering agonies, caused by some
female arrangement that has devel-
oped from overtaxing your strength.
The natural restorative for such all
ments is Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. which for nearly half a
century has been considered a stand
ard remedy for woman's ills.-Adv.
