The One-Man Woman
Life No,O Holds Only
Memories for Kate Ward
By Ruth Agnes Abeng
By Ruth Agnes Abeling

There were no tears. There was
no regretting. There was no trying
to drag back his soul-to keep 1t
earth bound.
"Goodby" 1t was her one word to
him departing; one gently spoken
word. Then she turned back to the
world with its trunks to pack, its
food to buy and its living TO make.
Dan Ward was dead.
II was like Kate Ward to close the
book, silently, tearlessly and go back
to life without any rebellion at the
increase in it's complexities.
She might have wished for a mo-
ment as she turned away from the
mound of loose sod that for her, life
would hold no more tomorrows.
But the tomorrows were there.
They must be lived.
And, more than that, she had had
her hour of paradise. Together they
had found 1t. What If she did have
to grope back alone? One can't ask
too much of life.
Kate Ward busted herself with her
trunk and grips. There wasn't much
to pack. And with his fitful gall
wanting through life her husband
had left no cause for legal procedure.
The taxi was waiting. Mrs. Ward
settled in the corner of the vehicle.
The station was easily a mile dis
tant. Then there was an all-night
rae.
She wondered what the little town
would look like when she reached it.
The little green station-she re-
membered almost every initial cut in
its door frames. And the streets

grasses and friendly dogs trotting

big MISSION WORK
EXPLAINED IN TALK

Kate Hill. field secretary OF the
Woman's Missionary societies. gave
very interesting talk at the Reid Me-
mortal church Friday night before the
missionary society.
She brought several new plans and
iideas before the society, one of them
being that when woman is taken
into the church that she automatically
becomes member of the missionary
society. She stated that the big work
IN mission is not through finances, but
through the Willingness of the people
to give their children to the cause of
the great work.
Miss Hill explained the missionary
work and its field thoroughly to her
audience and her speech was accepted
| as the best on missionary work which
| had been heard.

Save the Baseball Park

The movement launched few days ago to
save the baseball park should recommend itself
to the favorable consideration of all citizens and
the responses should come in thick and fast.
If the present plant is not saved by the re-
sponse of citizens, it will be dismantled and the
only easily accessible place for the national
pastime in Richmond will be gone forever, and,
it is not an exaggeration to say, that many years
will elapse before the city will be able to obtain
another plant of this kind
In other words, the perpetuaton of an ideal
place for baseball depends upon the efforts now
being made to save the ball park. If the direc-
tors of the Richmond Exhibition company are
denied support, the plant will be torn down, the
grandstand dismantled, the fence removed, and
the place restored to its former condition.
How can it be saved? There is only one way,
and that is by subscribing for tickets to the ath~
letic program which the directors are arranging
for the Coliseum.
Immediate action is necessary. Telephone
the number of tickets you want to 6299.

After Dinner Trick S

A finger ring is borrowed and dropped
over a pencil. When little hypnotic
influence is exerted, the ring slowly
climbs to the top and jumps off the
pencil.
The trick is accomplished by means
of black thread, little less than a
foot in length. Cne end of the thread
is wound around a button on the vest
or coat. The eraser is previously re-
moved from the pencil. and the other
end of the thread is pushed into the
cavity. Then the eraser is replaced,
and holds the thread in position.
The pencil is held close to the body,
with the eraser upward. The finger
ring naturally goes over both the pencil
and the loose thread. and drops to the
fingers, which are holding the pencil at
the point. To make the ring rise. the
pencil is pushed forward very slowly,
tightening the thread. which makes the
ring climb.

Science

Back in sixteen hundred, Francis Bacon,
"meanest of men, and possessed of one of the
towering creative mentalities of modern times,
said, "The knowledge whereof the world is now
possessed, especially that of nature, extendeth
not to magnitude and certainty of works" In
twentieth century American he meant that man
had no real, proved knowledge of himself, of
his planet, the EARTH nor of his farther environ
ment the solar system and the universe. Near
ly all was suppostion.
Therefore said Bacon, let man experiment
with the properties of everything. Let him in
vestigate, observe compare and classify before
drawing conclusions accepting results. Let
him hold as laws of nature only those that all
the obtainable facts uphold as such. Let his
reason be guided through parts to whole. Let
him use induction as the key to unlock natures
secrets.
Man has seized on this creative idea of Ba-
cons and put it to work. First, he divided the
task. The whole was of too great magnitude for
the grasp of one finite mind. The astronomers
took the heavens under study with their tele-
scopes. The histoogists with their microscopes
discovered an invisible world populated with in
finitesmal forms of life; cells germs, bacteria,
etc., in and of our bodies, in the water we drink,
in plants in the soil under our feet and in the
air we breathe.
Physicists took the study of mechanics, en-
ergy and motion, and gave US water, steam, in
ternal combustion and electrical power, and
machinery Chemists discovered that matter,
liquid gaseous and solid is composed OF num-
ber of different elements, such as iron, gold,
hydrogen, oxygen and so on, that are IN turn
all composed of varying numbers of electrified
corpusces called electfons. In other words the
root of all matter seems to be CONCEALED cleo
tricity; the earth we stand on, the buildings we
inhabt, the bodies that house our souls.
Biologists delved into the numerous forms of
inanimate matter we call the earth, studying
their properties and discovering the laws of their
being. They have found this earth is millions
probably hundreds of millions, of years old
Geographers started out to discover survey and
map the lands and seas of the surface of our
globe. Anthropologists developed the study of
man according to his varying bodies. Biologists
took over the investigation of life as housed in
plants and animals. TO the latter, they showed
mans body, but not his soul, belongs.
Historians began their task of separating
myth from fact, that man might know the truth
of his discoverable and written past. Archeol
ogists are helping in this great work by digging
into the dust heaps that bury the habitations Of
ancient civilizations by examining the tombs Of
the centuries dead, and@by deciphering the rec
ords obtained from all these sources written IL
dead languages with forgotten alphabets. Phil
oIogists chose words and sought their derivation
and laws.
Anatomists busted themselves with the struc
ture of animate bodies master physicians sought
for the causes and cures for the different ills tc
