WOMEN'S INTERESTS

TT>iIERE is perhaps no slrer way of
T. discovering just how the interests
and the opportunities of woman have
broadened in the last very few years
than to study the women's magazines.
The business woman is carefully
considered today in these publications.
Her training. her chances of success,
new fields where she may try for posi-
lions; these are exploited. There are
articles on subjects that would never
have been touched upon five or six
years ago, OF even two or three years
ago.
Finance is another department that
has shown tremendous development i'll
such magazines. Women are learning
to manage their own funds, and when
the WOmen's colleges run successful
campaigns for great sums, MS they do
now, and invest and disburse such
sums, the day when wyp,ah was not
supposed TO understand the money
market is indeed gone
Naturally the coming of the vote to
women has brought lot of political
material into these pages The work
women can do In politics, her respon-
sii'iltieS, clear eXpositions of what the
different political parties stand for,
these are Some of the directions liz
which expansion is shown. Women
want to know Il whole lot of things
that they did not. as class, care
about only a short time ago. And what
women want, they gel.
There is hardly limit to what the
well-trained, clever, ambitious girls
may expect Of life in the way Of serv-
ice, interesting work, good income,
independence, influence on the future
of her country, and full home life.
1t Is truly, today, up to her.

His earliest impulse is an infant cry,
His final privilege is that TO weep.

Its green and brown. it's song and
seasons change,
Yet will not taste a berry that is
strange

He questions this and that investi-

Yet drinks the beaker offered by the

And leaves unsolved the greater mys-

CAT, OLD TOPPER,

Rastus Gets His Share of the
Stills in Every Silly

FOND OF HOME BREW
Pussy Acquires Fondness for Booze
by Licking Moist Corks From
confiscated Liquor in Police
Station in Detroit.

Detroit.-This cat has gone to the
dogs.
His name is Rastus! He is jet
black. He lives at the Grand River
avenue police station. And he is
drunkard.
Rastus responded to his first alco-
holic temptation several weeks ago
while baSking in the sun near win
dow in the Office of Inspector James
Mcnamara. A large haul Of whisky
stills and home brew was inspected
in the office. Rastus, quite innocently,
offered his assistance as official tester
by licking the moist corks and tapping
the dregs frofa the stills.
Sleeps Off Jag
A few minutes later Mr.. Cat was
seen staggering across the floor. He
crawled up on the switchboard and
purred his jag to sleep.
With his appetite whetted for alco-
hol, Rastus was frequently discovered
shopping around the cOnfiscated stills,
licking the bottles of home-brew and
tapping the stills. While he was
sleeping near basket of home brew
one day a cork popped off one of the
bottles and Rastus imbibed in the
flowing liquid regardless Of his ca
pacity. One raid netted 362 quarts
of liquor for Rastus. With half
closed green eyes he viewed the lay
out and wished for more than nine
lives.
''But | don't want Rastus scandal
ized," Inspector Mcnamara said. "He
is a good cat, and his taste for
liquor is both harmless and anus
ing"

OF Waste PAPER
Man Takes Up the Habitat Of
Hermit in Crowded Section
of New York City.
MADE CAVE FOR SELF
Naked Body RecIines Beneath Mass
of Old Papers and Rags Which
Completely Fill Room in
Tenement.

New York.-New York city's East
side-a minute strip on minor island
is, perhaps the most densely popu-
lated region on the Western hemi-
sphere. And yet it was in this hui
Misunderstanding district that Theo-
dore Greesley chose to take up the
habitat of hermit. 1t was in the
spot where more persons live and
have their being than any other in
this country that this old man, long
bearded and gray, sought to withdraw
from all human contact.
Up on the third floor and to the
right of a dull, brown tenement at
100 Chrystie street there's a small
room, which, along with its few
chairs, it's small he'd and picture or
two Mrs. Alice Bernard had rented to
Theodore Greesley six years ago. She
had seen little Of him since He
would call to pay the rent occasion
ally-it was only S1.50 a week. For
almost month Mrs. Bernard had not
seen the old man at all, nor had any
one else.
Police Chopped Door Down.
So this landlady trudged up the
three flights of steps to find out what
had happened. She stopped at the
door of the small room and listened.
There was no sound and her rappings
went unheeded Even unlocking the
door did not gain for her admittance.
Frightened she called the police. Two
sturdy Irishmen tried their weight
against the portal but they failed to
move il.
A fire ak finally chopped an en-
trance, but upon a strange scene. The
room was literally packed with old
newspapers and rags. They were
wedged in so completely that they
had barred the swinging of the door.
Nowhere was there sign that the

were arrested for shooting craps. Ras-
tus was feeling in an extremely affec-
donate mood and rubbed his head
against one of the prisoners feet. The
prisoner happened to be superstitious,
and jumped three feet in the air when
he saw Rastus, a black cat, cross his
path.
Rastus does not neglect his house
work in spite of his habitlal de-
bauches. Since he strayed into the
station about one year ago he has
completely exterminated the mice
which infested the station, basement
and barn.

hillside OF papers and rags. And into
it the policemen burroWed. They fol
lowed several feet until they came to
a wider opening-a cave in this I'M
usual artificial mountain. 1t was about
four feet wide and not more than two
feet in height.
It left only room enough for a small
man to curl up in reclining posi-
ton. And that was the position in
which they found Theodore Greesley
dead, stark naked except for the
covering of his long and tangled
beard

Of illiteracyo in the rural districts

BROWN ROT ATTACKS
THE YOUNG FRUIT

Clemson College, April 4.-What
appears to be an epidemic Of rot has
caused considerable loss of young
fruit in some of the peach and plum
orchards OF the state during the past
week on ten days, from attacks of the
fungus which causes the fruit to dot
later IN the season. The resulting
damage has been SO heavy in some
instances that the entire fruit crop has
been destroyed on some of the trees
examined by the pathologists. The
disease developed and spread rapidly
during the recent warm rainy wealth
er.
There is nothing that can be done
now to protect the young fruit from
the present attacks. But the or
chards should be sprayed later of
course with self-boiled lime-sulphur
solution to protect the grown fruit
from brown rot. Directions for the
preparation and application of self
boiled lime-sulphur are given in Ex-
tension Circular II.
These early attacks Of brown rot
which are apt to occur every spring
at about this time can best be pre-
vented by the rigid enforcement of
proper sanitary measures, such as the
careful pruning and burning Of all
of the dead and diseased branches, and
the raking up and burning of all of
the rotten fruit of the past season.
This should be done during the wint-
er and an application of lime sulphur
solution as recommended for winter
spray should be put on before the
buds begin to swell
