THE "ELUSIVE' MALE.

A little town in Ohio hardly dot upon the map
happens 70 elect Il girl-doctor as mayor and imme.
diatey she received upwards Of 5000 ardent pro-
posals OF marriage through the mails
Had she pursued the useful, sacrificing work Of
healing the sick her correspondence would not have
increased by single letter and it likely that
any misguided male would have dared to hint of
wish for her a bride
What there about the election that suddenly
makes her desirable to so many foolish men?
Could it be that publicity and fame are now quail
tiles to attract the minds and hearts men and that
they wish to pluck their brides from the rays Of
spotlight?
which presumed to be the characteristics OF
mayors should hardly appeal to men whose fancies
have been fed upon the poetry Of TO incline
towards the clingng vine type of womanhood.
It hardly be presumed that the mere fact that
she received for responsible position could
add any tinge of to this maid for usually
so to those who possess quite different quail
ties of mind and heart than men have worshipped
IN their dreams.
Can it be possible that men now have the ideal
of success and brains rather than bushes and do
mesticity and that these proposals come from cold
calculating men who believe that her election sym.
bolzed these traits?
Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that there
many foolish people in the world and that any
glamor will bring them 10 the front.
The man who proposes to a lady mayor is prob
ably the brother IF the woman who sends notes
to condemned criminals and visits trials OF human
monsters in order to weep sympathetic tears
This girl gets the letters because she is one Of the
first to achieve fame and for the moment takes
away the attention that is given to new theatrical
stars and beauties OF the film.
The male. never elusive although often so pic
tured simply evidences desire for something diff
ferent just his fancy changes as often as women
change styles. ana lady mayors are decidedly new

not long ago he ran an editorial

he made the assertion that cussing
showed a person TO be mentally de-

CHICAGO.-Elliot r. Downing
of the University of Chicago has
written a new type of nature-guide
fin "A Naturalist in the Great Lakes
Region"
He has abandoned the old method
,of treating plants ard animals as
liso lated individuals and deals with
them in groups and associations
affected by environment. He
sketches the geological history of
TIE north central states and that
,pars of Canada within the basin of
(the Great Lakes and sets forth the
,evoluIion and interrelation of the
plant and animal life adapted to
the climate and soil of this region.
Prof. Downing has designed his
little book to be the companion of
lovers of out-of-do in the Great
Lakes region. 1t tells the reader
what to look for there and in places
with similar climate and topog-
rapny and how to identify what he
sees on hikes through the country
side. 1t is particularly full of in
formation regarding the sand
dunes CT the southern shore of
Lake Michigan, the only desert east
Of tie Mississippi.
This weird region of shifting
sands, seemingly dead and desolate.
