Sentiment on West Coast.
SAN FRANCISCO, November IL
Smoking among the woman students
in the big colleges and universities OF
the Pacific Coast seems to be a. mat
ter of individual conscience. No
where does such smoking appear to
be a particular problem. although
there Is no doubt that it is being In
dulged in more or less generally.
At the University Of California Miss
Lucy Stebbins, dean Of women. said
that the problem was settled by the
eds themselves years ago and has
never recurred.
At Stanford Miss Mary B. Yost. the
women's dean. said that the senti-
ment against smoking has been up
held by the girl students. who have
declared against it.

Knowledge Spread by
Ancient Playing Cards

A collection of IS varieties of play
ing cards was recently shown in Lon
don, where they were viewed with
much interest. The earliest pack is
Of the Thirteenth century. 1t has
crude fanciful figures etched on thin
plates of horn, backed with paper.
Several packs, dated between TIA
1765. are known as geography packs.
They have complicated maps of much
information on foreign countries. The
T7S0 cards are adorned with sketches,
showing incidents in various fables
with verses. There is a natural his
tory pack, one dealing with astron-
omy, and one with words and music.
The more modern the pack, the simpler
the design. A playing card expert
suggests that the decline In adorn-
ment was due to modern brains being
more active than those of old. Three
hundred years ago, peoples brains
worked much slower than they do
now" he says. Consequently, card
Games took longer, and 1t was natural
that there should be some interesting
matter for players to read. The speed
Of card playing has undoubtedly In
creased tremendously. "-Exchange.

Phrases That Are Old

A phrase frequently heard is "neces-
sty Is the mother of invention" But
few realize how old 1t is. We find it
m the Republic" of Plato: "The true
creator is necessity, who is the moth
er Of our invention"
When Disraeli gave the alternative
title of 1.-THE Two Nations" to his
novel "Sybil," to emphasize the gulf
which lay between, the rich and the
poor Of the same country, he was
echoing Plato. Amy city," said Plato,
however small, is in fact divided in
to two, one the city Of the poor the
other Of the rich"

by Sir Thomas Moore in utopia,

ronment, he says, you first make
thieves and then punish them

Two men were disputing as to the
weight of an inch of rainfall. Il read
somewhere that it is 101 tons of water
TO the acre." said one. 'No," said the
other, I'm positive the correct figure
is 113 TONS" The weather bureau of
the United States Department of Ag-
rculture says that both are right. The
rainfall in the first instance was reck-
ened by the long ton, or 2,240 pounds,
sAe common ton in Great Britain. The
l0ng ton is used for some purposes in
this country, but the short ton OF q
coo pounds, which gave the second re-
suit, is more usual here.

Time Beginning Work

The secrets Of rearing siIkworms
have been handed down among Chi
nese farmers from father to son for
hundreds Of generations. The Chinese
farmers buy silkworm eggs in the
spring. These are very minute and are
sold on sheets Of stir paper each con-
tanning 100000 to 100000 eggs.
The egg sheets are placed In clean
basket in small rearing room, and
charcoal fires in earthenware braziers
ere used to keep the temperature at
50 degrees day and night for nine
days.
Then the eggs turn green. A day or
tive after this the worms hatch. For
the first two or three days the young
worms must be fed every two hours
day and night.
Fresh, soft mulberry leaves are
shredded very fine and sprinkled over
the lewly Matched worms; their jaws
are too weak TO chew much of the leaf,
hut they can suck out the juices.
The worms reach their full growth
in Is days, says writer in the Scien-
tiic American. Some idea Of their
rayenous appetite can be gained from
the fact that group OF 100000, the
number Matched from one egg sheet
