CALLS FOR NERVE AND SKILL
Hunters of the Sword-Fish Find Their
Prey Altogether .1orthy Of
Their Steel"

Sword-Fish schoonerS are the fastest
fishing-boats under sail in the world.
They have TO be, for the sword-tish is
q fast mover. He is fighter. too.
Often has he charged a ship and
driven his sword" through her stout
,planking. When school Of sword-ish
IS sighted, the spearman goes for'ard
to the end of the bowsprit and gets
into the pulpit" an iron fitting al the
end of the spar, where he stands to
drive his lance into a fish. The line
attached to the spear rushes out OF
the tub in which it is coiled, and the
fish makes off. doubling his speed in
a vain effort TO escape.
A good-sized fish will often fetch
as much as $40; but it is a hard
life, and it needs fine seamaEShip in
the chate amid the huge seas of the
Atlantic when bad weather prevails.
The sword-6sh is widely distributed
in the ocean. hut is, most common Off
the North American coast. Its average
length is { feet, but some are y feet
or 10 feet. The Sword" is used to
spear its prey, such as cod, funny and
mackerel. and even to attack whales.

the odor of pineapple or figs or dates

ON EQUALITY WITH HUSBANDS
Filipino Women, Entering Into Matri-
meny, Become Partners in Future
{; Business Enterprises

tSWhen Filipino woman marries
she goes into partnership with her
husband said Nine. Sofia Reyes de
Yeyra, wife of the Philippine commits
sioner to- the United States. While
the men handle the work and en-
.ployees, the women attend to the
finances, act as cashiers, pay the work
ems and oversee much of the business" !"
Things are made easy In MAJ many
ways for Filipino women, she asserted,
writes Louise Cattoi in the Milwau-
keez Journal. Professional opportun-
iries are as good for them as for men.
Women are already members OF the
Philippine Bar association, privilege
not open to British women.
aMarried women in the Philippines
hold their property in seyeralty, and
are guardians Of their own children.
OF the property which aeeraes to q
married couple, the wife is half ad-
ministratrix and there are vested
rights which cannot be taken away.
It is NOT unusual for the mother Of q
family to have not only household
leadership. but economic control
Women's clubs are rapidly growing
In the islands, Nine. De yeyra said,
and pointed out that already 800
clubs and associations exist, which
have formed a federation.
Nine. De Veyra has four children,
aas bright, healthy and happy as
any mother could wish,' as she de-
scribed them.

NEEDS Of "Y0UNG AMERICA"
European Critic Thinks That Youth
Of Great Republic Suffers From
Toe Much Freedom.

George Santayana. famous philose-
pher and writer, in an article written
especially in the Forum on Americas
Young Radicals" says:
'I have made a severe effort to dis
cover as well as ! may from a dis
tance what these rebels want. ! see
what they are against-they are
AGAINST everything-but what are they
for? have not been able to discover
it. This may be due to my lack of un-
derstanding or to their incapacity to
express themselves clearly, for their
style Is something appalling. But per
haps this scandalous failure in express
sion, when expression is what they
yearn for and demand at all costs,
may be o symptom of something deep
er; of 8 radical mistake they have
made in the direction OF their efforts
and aspirations. They think they need
more freedom. more room, chance 10
be more spontaneous. ! suspect that
they have had too much freedom. too
much empty space too much practice
In being SPONTANEOUS when there was
nothing in them to bubble out. Their
style IS sign of this; 1t is not merely
that they have no mastery of the Eng
lsh language as hitherto spoken, no
clear sense OF the value of words, and
no simplicity; that they are without
the vocabulary or the idiom of culti-
waited people. . -. No, it is not
more freedom that young America
needs in order to be happy; it needs
more discipline"

oil From sunf,ower Seed.

The sunfower is a possible source OF
oil, large quantity of it having been
made from sunfower seed in Russia
before the war. The cold-pressed oil
is used for culinary and other pur-
poses where a high grade edible oil is
required. while the hot-pressed is en-
ployed in making soaps and Russian
yarnishes. In l911, more than 800
mills in the Caucasus were engaged In
pressing sunf1ower seed. It is pos
sibIe that the suntiower may some day
be an important oil-producing plant il
this country. The crop is now grown
to quite an extent in some parts OF the
country, notably Missouri. for poultry
feed.
