'L|NCOLN'S LOVES
 SUBJECT OF STUDY
Student Convinced Real Love Was for Woman He Married

Chicago, Oct. 21 P>-In the sense that they had complete confidence In each others integrity, respected i each other desired each other and that each was supplemented and | complimented by the other Abra- ham Lincoln and Mary Todd, the woman he married, ''loved each other as neither had ever loved any one else" Dr. w. F. Barton, noted student of the life of Lincoln. has concluded from an examination of the loves Of the Civil war president. Sitting the stories of Lincoln's affairs Of the heart in a volume just published on "The Women Lincoln Loved" Dr. Barton dismisses the contention that Lincoln's love for Ann Rut!edge, his first sweetheart, was so absorbing that he never was capable of another great affection.
 That Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln had frequent altercations is undoubted, Dr. Barton grants, but, though they were not always happy together, each would have been un- happy with anyone else, and neither would have been happy alone"
 He loved her, She was the only woman 10 whom he ever gave a ring. and in that ring were the words: Love is eternal
 Anh Rutledge was the attractive red haired daughter Of a family at ! when he first was elected to the Legislature in 1884. She died in the summer of 1885, and Dr. Barton writes that although there is mo reason to doubt that Lincoln's sor- row was sincere. he was speedily in love again and again. No one In New Salem suspected that he had loved Ann Rutledge with an incur able affection"
 Mary Todd, whom Lincoln mar ried in 1S42, when he was still a state legislator. was born in Ken tives at Springfield. the Illinois capi- tai, while Lincoln was In public service there.
 She had many suitors, but she chose Lincoln. and although they quarrelled often and both were minded at times to break the en- gagement. it led to the marriage which they mutually desired.
 Dr. Barton treats in some detail the later life of Mrs. Lincoln-her difficult position during the Civil war, when she was accused by some of disloyalty to the Union while her

NERO WAS FIRST WHO WORE SPECS
His Glasses Of Emerald Protected
 Eyes From Sun

Oxford, England, Oct. 21,-iP>- Nero Wa the first to wear spectacles it was contended here at the Inter- national Optical congress.
 According to authentic historical records, Nero wore spcctacles of emerald as q protection against bright rays of the sun more than as an aid to his eyesight it was de- clared.
 Spectacles were also worn by Chinese mandarins in the early days. investigation has revealed that these were of plain glass and worn simply to give the mandarin an appearance of wisdom and dignity.
 The Spectacle Makers company came into existence in London in the time of Charles l and dealt in spherical lenses in rims. These were used as magnifying glasses and the company took as it motto: "A blessing to the aged.' It was about q hundred years ago that an Ip- switch optician by the name of Full Ter invented cylindrical glasses which helped persons suffering from astigmatism.
 Very little change has been made in the last 400 or 300 years in spec tacle frames, though there are fash ions in spectacles, just as there are fashions in dress, says J. H. Sul- cllife, chairman of the congress.
 SutCliffe said the popular horn rims which people here associate with America may yet go out of favor in their turn, to be replaced by rimless glasses.

three brothers were losing their lives in the Confederate army; her great poverty after her husbands assassi- nation: her lapse from sanity in 1875; her release from an asylum in the following year and her death from paralysis in 1882, three of the four Lincoln children having pre- ceded her to the grave.
 Her story" writes the student, lis sad story, the story of a wom- an misunderstood and cruelty perse- Cuted. But in the day when her heart was torn asunder. and most of her relations were on the opposite side, she was unflinchingly loyal to the United States. While she sometimes made her husband unhappy, and he not infrequently veXcd her. she was an affeetionate wife and mother, loving her husband with a passionate devotion and never failing in her faith in his character, his ability and his success"

Tokyo, Oct. 21 OP}-As Japan is a country of earthquakes and q seis- mic catastrophe may happen at any time, school children are being drilled in the avoidance of casual ties accompanying q severe earth disturbance.
 In most primary schools the heavy wooden tops of the desks are not screwed down, but may be lift ed from the grooves into which they are fitted. The children are drilled to lift off the desk tops at signal from the teacher, and to hold them over their heads as they march calmly from the room.. In past earthquakes it has been found that many persons were knocked unconscious by falling portions of ceilings. The desk tops will do much 10 protect the heads of school chil-

 Although so far there is no con- frmation from official sources 1t has been reported on good authority that the listing of the objects in the cath edral having been completed, the building would now be opened for the inspection of tourists and lovers of art if not for the public at large.

 It is only in comparatively recent years that feather fans have come into vogue. Wonderful specimens have been made from peacock and ostrich feathers. It is this type of fan that is now regaining favor.
