Journeys

DUBLIN, Feb. 28.-Owners of auto- mobiles and jaunting cars are mak- ing hay while the sun shines. Be- tween Killarney and Tralee no trains are running. The railroad is hope less ruin and the prices car owners charge would put pain in a rich mans pocket.
 Before leaving Tralee 1 armed my self with a travelling permit. It is not essential to have one, but it is we'll to be so equipped, as it obvi- ates much difficulty in case of any holdup.
 I was told the road is now practi- cally safe, but few months ago it was not unusual that Free State party would be shot up three or four times in the journey. Now an am. bush on the road is very rare, d. though there are still some small bands of Republicans working be. tween the two towns.
 Beautiful spRt
 As one approaches Killarney the sight is particularly magnificent. The variety of color on the snow-topped mountains, the ruddy glow of the sun shining upon them and the many other things that nature has done to beautify the scene leaves one spell bound. Killarney is a fairyland- to be dreamed about.
 The distance between Tralee and Killarney is twenty miles. It is a long, winding, sinuous road, and its undulating course plays many strange pranks with the scenery. Now it seems as if one were heading straight for a giant wall of rugged rock Then an almost invisible turn rushes you down valley rich

"JURY" AWARDS
 CHILD TO ITS MOTHER

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28.-Mother CT love won a verdict in police court here with women of the night life, hardened criminals and court hanger ons as the jury.
 Mrs. Anna Castagnone, of Los An geles, was charged by her divorced husband, Carlo, with having Kidnapped their five-year-old son.
 The mother told of the child having cried for her every time she visited him. The judge said.
 q leave it to the audience. All be- lieving the mother should have the child rise.'
 Everyone in the courtroom but the complaining father and his attorney arose.
 Charge dismissed" snapped the judge. Next case"

aggeration. The Free Staters are doing heroic work against the best efforts of the Republicans to de- stroy it.
 When I set out from Tralee lady offered to share the car and promised to return in ten minutes. For almost forty minutes we waited, but she did not show up. We went away, and the driver, with that free-mason- " common among the Irish jaunting car drivers, gave the top to pal and agreed to divide the spells.
 We had covered many miles when the pal overlook us on his jaunting car, but without the lady. This was the explanation: The lady came along, all right, but she took seat in another car and left the waiting driver with nothing but cargo of four big sides of bacon. He was very angry with the fellow who stole his fare and with the lady who had left him in the lurch.
 Ut does not matter, Paddy" he told our driver-"it doesn't matter, boy. I'll make the bacon pay.'
 That is the comedy. The tragedy is that he made the bacon pay, but every cent of the payment had to be- made hv the unfortunate people who buy the pounds and half-pounds. Food in Killarney is twice as costly as in any other part of Ireland, that I know of. The destruction by the Republicans is hitting the really very poor. No town has had to endure anything approaching the hardships that Killarney has endured. Nowhere else has the track of war left such a terrible imprint or is it more plainly discernible.

 The journey was uneventful in that we did not encounter anything in the nature of hold-up. The Republicans had worked more des- truction along the road. There are at least four places where the very thought of crossing makes one shiver. They were bridges. At the moment there is very little about them to suggest the skill of the engineer. Except for a number of blanks and trunks of trees just sufficient to allow car to cross, there is nothing but yawning chasm below, through which a stream rushes in frothy de- which seeks to retard it's progress.

BOSTON, Feb. 28.-Mere man will soon be forced out as the leader in politics, according to the prediction of Ida Tarbell, lecturer and writer, in a speech at the Old South Meeting House. She declared that man will soon be compelled to share his con- trol in politics with the members of the weaker sex.
 Miss Tarbell ridiculed Congress and it's tariff bills and said that a Congress of women would have done much better.

stayed at home and went through as big an experience in their way. Now although they don't know it they are both nearer heaven than they have ever been before.
 "It's the most arrant nonsense to say that the girl of today is not as pure as her grandmother was. She's exactly as pure. She's just facing fundamentals. The facts of existence have been written on the sky for her to read. There need be no pretense about it, She knows and knows in a big, clean. open way-a way which will make for greater purity, because it makes for a cleanness of mind that wasn't possible before.
 Not Sentimental
 ''The girl of today is not sentimen- tai. She's going about her business, and she doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve. But deep down within the heart of every girl there is the funda- mental fact that she is the mother of the race, and she knows it. And it is this fundamental fact that will make her stand straight in the face of any crisis, just as she has always done, and will bring her trumphantly through with whatever there is for her to do.
 "She's too busy hustling to stand in one spot and do the things which are ordained for her by other people. She's living her own life. And in insisting upon doing that she's pos sibly a bit explosive. I've small doubt that there were several steam explo- sione before steam was entirely reg ulated. And the world mustn't forget that behind this disregard for conven- tions which I call immoral there is a tremendous force which will make itself felt in series of useful explo- sions.
 Individual Liberty "The spirit of individual freedom, you know, precedes the spirit of na- tional freedom and the consciousness of what is due the group: It is far more natural to cross busy street than to wait for the orders of the traf- fic policeman, but less safe. It be- comes matter of regulation, and one must do his own regulating. He'll do it, if he is given time enough. So will the modern woman. She will regulate herself to the needs of the traffic And when she does there will be a saner and better set of traffic regu lations. It's bound to happen. It's the spirit of progress, and the modern wo. man is typical of it.
 "There isn't single thing wrong with her. She's splendid. I've been handling girls for forty years. I ought to know, and I'm willing to say that she's just as fine and just as pure and just as sweet as her grandmother was. And she has lot more plain common sense-she had to learn it. Conditions forced her to-"

YOUNG WOMAN OF TODAY

 SELF, SAYS DEAN ARNOLD

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 2S.--What's the matter with the modern girl? Not a single thing in the world Immoral? Possibly. Immoral '? Never!
 You have that on the word of Dean Emerita Sarah Louise Arnold of Si- mons College, Boston. And there is probably no greater authority on the subject of girls than this same Dean Arnold Her authority is the product of experimentation 40 years of it with girls of every sort and condition and of every nationality, creed, of every kind of training, and every lack of it, and of every temperament and inclination. Superintendent of schools, teacher in high schools, settlement worker, dean of women in college, stu dent of human nature, and keen eyed, level-headed, serene and charm ing judge, she awards her judgment in the case of the critic versus the modern girl. ''There isn't single thing the mat ter with the modern girl, not single thing. She's really quite remarkable young person." Dean Arnold told In ternational News Service in an inter- view here.
 "Then why all this powder, and these weird dances and these ciga- rettes, and this zozzed hair, and all the thousand and one other things that are causing the world so much con cern?" she asked.
 She dismissed them all with a wave of the hand.
 adjustment-every single one oi them. The whole world has passed through an emotional crisis-the war And the whole world is readjustine itself to the changed conditions which the war has brought about. And why shouldn't the modern girl have a chance to readjust herself? She was forced by circumstances into situa tions and into an existence which she had never before dreamed of-she ceased to consider the conventions. Enjoys Her Freedom And she found that she really en
 joyed it, this being freed from con ventions. And she intends to stay free
 of them. Being only human, she goes a bit too far, perhaps. She be comes what I term immoral. She is
 unconventional. Conventions are merely the appearance of things. The girl of today is not thinking of the appearance of things. She is too busy doing things. A bit later, when she has time to sit down and rest a while she will begin to learn how to dea with the conventions. But that's { thing that only experience can teacf her.

FORMER DOVER FOLK FORTUNE

f. S. Rowan and Widow and Children
of Sanford Rowan Share in $4,000, 900
The contest over the estate of the
late Mrs. Angie Booth of New York,
having been settled out of court, ac
cording to advices received from that
city, two former Dover families will
share literally, each it is understood,
to considerably more than S2,000,-
900. These benefciaries are Frank S.
Rowan, 4007 Baltimore avenue, Phil
adelphia, and his family and the
widow and two children of Sanford
Rowan, all of whom formerly lived at
Dover. Mrs. Booth, who was the
widow of Henry P. Booth, founder of
the Ward Steamship Line, left an
estate which is said to aggregate up
wards of $12,OOO,OOO. Frank and
Sanford Rowan were nephews. Frank
and his family and SanfOrd's family,
Sanford being dead, were literally re-
membered in Mrs. Booths will. The
will was contested, however, but the
contest having been settled out of
court, the will was admitted to pro-
bate by Surrogate Foley in New
York Monday. Frank and Sanford
Rowan were sons of the late John
Rowan, who at one time had a news
paper selling business at Dover, which
he bought from JOshue Dean. The
store was originally located on
Loockerman street near State, anC
later on State street, near LOCKER.
