New York.-Patrick Marine of No.
472 Humboldt street, Brooklyn, was
fast asleep early the other morning
when a peculiar humping noise on the
stairway outside awakened him. He
listened, and 1t sounded like nothing he
had ever heard in the way Of noise
before.
The noise arrived at his apartment
door and there was scrape and a
knock. Marine took baseball bat
and answered the door. He was
greeted by the friendly moo of large,
socially-inclined COW.
Marine lives on the second floor, and
wondered how the visitor had negoti-
ated the 40 steps. He decided 1t was
too hefty a problem for himself. ond

Iron From Cuba.

Along the north shore of Cuba, near
the sea at its eastern end, in three
areas which formerly appeared to be
simply expenses of barren ferruginous
soil, recent exploration and test have
shown that there exist deposits OF
very pure iron ore, amounting to 2,000,-
100000 or 1900, 900 900 tons. When de-
prived of the large percentage of wa
ter which 1t contains, this ore will
yield from 40 to 40 per cent of iron.
Ore from this source has already been
exported to the United States.

WANTS HOMEMAKING TAUGHT IN SCHOOL Would Be Benefit to NeWlyWeds,
 Says Mrs. Morse

| Chicago, Ill.,, Feb. 13 (By Asso.
 ciated Press), When the bride and
 groom, who are the home making world, have acquired the master mind which is necessary to unite
 their past education with the de- 1 mands of the simple home life. the
 nation will need no other plan of Americanization, Mrs. T. vernette
 Morse, founder of the Homemakers'
 Guild, told the Chicago Women's clubs here yesterday.
 Every specialized profession is
 taken care of except that of the
 home as whole."Mrs. Morse said
 Tt is no wonder these brides and
 grooms eventually have brain flag and nervous prostration. How can they be expected to unite and put into practice in the home. the edu- cation which has fitted them only for a business life.
 What these men and women need is thorough training in the princi- ples cf a professional home life, in- cluding all of the arts and sciences that are needed therein. There are more would-be nome ndkerS than anything else.
 "WEen the schools have learned tha, home making is based on the very first principles of psychology. art and science, they will doubtless unite the home activities into pro- fession;l courses. When that time comes children will be normally en- dowed with the riglr impressions of life from the hour of their birth. When that time comes the human family will not be permitted to go to waste. Reformers and Juvenile courts will be out of job. for humanity will then have an opportunity to give of its best to the world.
 The technical training of the schools and universities in do- nestle science, physics. psychology. art. science. music and other kindred subjects which help mankind to live. is well nigh perfect but it is directed almost wholly to- 1 wards the business world. Every | specialized profession is taken care of except that of the home as a | whole"
