"Best Hated Woman"

Europe's confessed best hated
woman, Mrs. Thit Jensen, champion
sof feminine emancipation, arrived in
New York the other day from Copen-
hagen. She comes to see if the
American men, whom she described
five years ago as the finest speci-
mems in the world. have changed.
Petite. blonde, vivacious, Mrs. Jen-
sen gave a lively description of wom-
ans status in Europe and her opin-
ion of the men of the Old World.
Il have been called the most de-
spised woman in Europe" she said
smilingly. I've been accused of being
a man hater. I've been repeatedly
insulted on public streets and each
time it was by man, but have not
permitted individual acts to turn me
against the whole sex.
"You see have been married my
self. 1 married for love, too. The
fact that my husband. after four
years of happiness, suddenly left
with my best woman friend has not
embittered me against all men. ]

am very happy since my recovery
from the first shock.

rope are going into dry rot. l have
studied the men Of all Nations IN

reformation takes place, and quickly.

danger and recognized an enemy
The leaders came to grips, while
their followers rushed back to their
camps to give warning.
In a few seconds all was motion.
Small black bodies streamed down
the bridges, and the arena was
transformed into battle-ground,
where fierce combats ragged. They
fought in small groups, biting and
tearing. Warriors were dismember-
ed.
Quivering bodies lay legless and
headless. The struggle was so hot
that only few of the wounded
were dragged aside into temporary
safety. For two hours the battle
ragged. Camp A was defeated.
There was no retreating army, no
rout; it was complete annihilation.
Dead and wounded were strewn over
what a few hours before had been a
peaceful square yard of sand cover
ing an inoffenSive tray.
The victors returned triumphant
to their colony. bearing with them
the bodies of the vanquished to be
stored away and consumed the next
winter.

He arranged two camps OF ants
with a source of food file between to

suddenly one day he opened the
feeding grounds to both camps and
the battle was on. Small scouting

Ancient Walls in Wheat Fields

Lines of the walls ana streetS oI
an ancient Roman town. Magma
Castra, near Hereford, England, are
plainly visible in the wheat nelds
near there. The crops grow shorter
where there is less depth of soil and
show the entire plan of the town.
Excavations have been made there
and the foundations of the old forum
have been discovered. Magma was
one Of the smallest Of the British
Roman towns. having an extent OF
only 25 acres. and was probably
used for stopping point for troops
on the way to the great wall.
The complete skeleton of a British
woman has also been unearthed
there, together with such dateable
material. Pottery dating from the
time of .Antonnius Plus. 13S16l A.
D., to Valens. Boasts A. D., with
the stamp of the potter, has been
found A perfect bronze bracelet for a
child, with it's catch complete, was
among the discoveries.
There Is a tradition that Magma
was burned. either by aXons or by
native tribes.-Kansas City Star.

The Ideal Apple?

What is the ideal apple!
A recent experiment station bulle-
tin on apple growing defines ideal
apples in very general terms as OF
good size. attractive coloring and
high quality: have sound, produc-
adapted to the particular location In
yolved. To meet successfully future
competition, such varieties, preferably
red. are required"
Plainly stated the one definite idea
conferred in this definition Is that the
ideal apple should be q red apple al
though redness is not necessarily an
indication of quality. Some of the
finest quality apples are not the red
dest apples.
The varieties Of apples on sale I'm
North America. either as fruit or as
trees for planting in the home
grounds, are listed at about 1000.
State experiment stations in recent
years have devoted much study to
wedding out the inferior and pointing
out the superior varieties and the lists
are cut dow materially although diff
ferent states gave quite different lists
as suited to their climatic and soil
conditions.
Apples have come to US from vaf1s
ous parts of the world. North Amer.
lea is the leading. apple-growine
country of the world although the
apple originally came from south
: western Asia and the adjacent Eu-
ropean territory. OF late years q few
Russian varieties have been intro
| duced for trial in some of the colder
sections Of the country. They have
proved valuable as parents giving
, Alexander, Wolf River, Bismarck and
others.
The eastern and central apples are
for the most part flattened or oblate.
The European apples are distinctly
longer and more conical. There IL q
type Of American apple half way be-
tween the two.
The longersshaped type is COM
moner in the regions beyond the
