THE GREATEST WOMEN.

Sometime before August /. some woman OF this
country viii a prize OF 500 for picking out the
25 greatest women Of all history.
A vroman's organization IS arranging for the
contest and has selected 100 educators TO act as
judges. Let it be hoped that the rules are well
laid down In for it Is quite easy 70 prophesy
that the hundred educators win have as varied
views greatness as have the many thousands VINO
will send in their selections
The contest viii be interesting IL It but brings
abou, come thought the qualities in woman
that make for real and lasting greatness.

been sucgest5 as one OF the inmortais By the pres
dent Of the organization And yet Cleopatra unless
she has been sadly ubened by history. used only
the arts Of sex by which 10 conquer rulers and 70
sway the great men or her hour and time.
Would the women Of the present day, devoted to
the study Of civcs. say she was truly great whose
hold upon history depends upon her ability to charm
a Caesar and who died suicide rather than relin-
quish power?
sappho the great Greek roetess. is another Of
her selections Here. TOO. Is field FOR argument.
It IS true that the OF the world create the
ideals and that sappho uplifted the people of her
cay and hour by her Interpretation OF the emotions
OF the soul
Yet the people to whom she sang have passed
into oblivion and ali her songs could not save them
from the ruin that came with decay and the de-
parture from their first great ideals and PRINCIPLES.
Was she really a great poetess, worth Of immor-
tai honor. whose message fen soothingly but who
could not keep and hold her race from the suicide
which {: committed?
She also lists Pocahontas the Indian maid who
vgooed her way to history and showed some
moments of courage. Yet what act Of hers was
inpershable and was history cha nged, even the
by a slight trife. by her moments Of greatness, all
prompted by a love Of individual rather than Of
cause or country OF civilization itself.
She would also include Rosa Bonheur, great
artist; Jenny Lini wonderful singer. and George
Eliot who took the name Of man to hide her own
authorship O wonderful novels
What is real greatness? And what ideal should

These glasses may be used 20 correct

lenses which are scientifically tinted

Sometimes plain lenses are useful,
serving to keep the wind and dust

motormen may require such protec-
ton.
