Mexican Women
 Demand Rights
Want to Be on Same Basis With Men in Civil Law.

Mexico t'ity. May Il R,-EauaI
 rights with mon In civil law will be extended 10 Mexican women if . proposed new civil code is adopted. The Mexican Womans associa~ has planned a. Mexico City n1aSs meeting. which may broaden into . lsonvontlon Of women from all parts of the republic. to urge adoption oe tho new code.
 1 The leaders in the movements which SO far is small and confined
 10 the capital and few of the larger cities. hope adoption of the code may be the entering wedge for the eventual attainment of wom. ans political equality in Mexico. The proposed new code is a gen-
 cral revision of he Mexican civil
 code, prepared and recommended
 after long studies by a commission representing the department of tho interior, appointed at the instance of President Gales to eliminate ans
 tiquatcd features Of the civil lava and harmonize them with modern
 social conditions. Tine bar assoCiaS
 ton is studying tho recommcndaA
 tions. Should it approve, the rccs ommcndations probably will colnS l before the next session of congress 1 in September.
 The proposed code would permit i married women 10 hold property in their own right. act independently of their husbands in all matters re. | lating 10 their individual property. 1 be parties to actions in civil courts 1 without their husbands consent ! and give illcgitimate children the
 same inheritance rights as legiti- mate children.

Red Paint Not

Decorator Discourages Its
 Use on Farms.

Washington, May 1c R,-Through monstration agents of the depart mcnt of agriculture, farm women
 have put the ban on unsightly homes.
 Spring campa jgns in rural sections
 have begun. under the direction of home demonstration work in the central states.
 The lavish use of red paint, asso cla'ed Ill the past with farms, is froNned upon by her field agents. Miss Frysinser says. Federal en- ployes are trying 10 point out 10 the farmers wives that even the un- | slightly lower price of red pait can
 not make up for the landscape blot ting qualities it has when daubo q
 informally upon all buildings on the property.
 Classes are being conducted in all
 the states, with the cooperation Of
 county agents state universities and their departments of agriculture, in
 methods Of beautifyinC the farm home, both internally and external | ly.

Potato s Value
 All in Cooking
Some Methods Render It
 More Valuable Food.
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBElN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine.

The potato is almost so per cent water. but even so contains less water than carrots. turnips, radish- es. beets, parsnips, artichokes or onions.
 It is extremely high in carbohy- drate, which includes sugar and starch, this constituting IS per cent of it's bulk. The remainder Is pro- tein. fat, salts and waste material.
 Years ago it was discovered that the potato could be specific against scurvy, and it was much used in prisons and on shipboard to prevent this disease
 Rich and Starchy
 It was introduced into the Eng lish diet more than 300 years ago. It's richness in starch is its most striking characteristic. The most important mineral salt is potassium, some of which is united with citric acid
 Much of the value of the potato depends on the way in which it Is cooked. If the potato is peeled and boiled, great portion of its val uable content disappears in the water and with the peel.
 It has been estimated that if bushel of potatoes were peeled and soaked before being boiled. the amount of nutriment lost would be equivalent to that contained in pound of beef steak. It Is there fore best to steam or cook potatoes In the jackets.
 The digestibility of the potato de- bends also to a considerable extent on the form in which it is eaten. A well-baked mealy potato is easily digestible. Large Jumps of partial ly cooked potato are digested with difficulty.
 Carbohydrate Valuable
 Potatoes of medium size. boiled and eaten in the usual way, remain for about two to two and one-half hours in the stomach, which is shorter period than for the same weight of bread.
 It must be remembered that no one depends on potatoes alone for q diet, at least no one with com- mon sense. The potato is too bulky and contains too little protein in proportion to starch content.
 The potato is one of the most valuable articles in the human diet. however. because of it's available carbohydrate, it's relative chcapness, and it's com parativc bulk. When eaten with these factors in mind as a portion of a Well-balanCcd diet. it substance.

 She and I went with the girl to her room, gave her a sedatiye and

 spurring me, l went back to my

 after a night ot such steady tortur-

 She scanned them hastily. ex- changed a glance of horror with me as the name Of high executive Of our own country met her eyes upon the list of those marked for dcstruc- ton, and as opposite it upon the list Of conspirators she saw a name Nalmost as wcll-known and belong ing to the highest government circle.
 '1ou've done something for your country this day, my girl,' she said, and then bent over the paper again.
 "A date after the name of each ruler," she said. That must be the time set for their departure from the world.

At the boot of the owl Princess Olina sprang to her feet with lit tie terrified exclamation. l moved closs to her and put my hand reas- xuringly upon her arm. Lillian spoke in matter Of fact tones.

 "Oh, yes.' Oliua said patently compelling herself to calmness.

My eyes had been attracted to a curious eNpres- sion on Lillians face as she listened ha ha e, ba the one to escort Miss Lincoln. It was as If his action had been something she expected, something which confirmed some theory of hers. And l distinctly saw her fin gers clench into her palms.
 It was less than five minutes be- fore Dicky and Princess Olina came back. The girl was deadly pale, and Dicky himself was not quite calm IS he delivered the message which the red-bearded man had given.
 He can't hold his friend Sergius off any longer than tomorrow night" he says. At nine o'clock he expects to give the owl signal again, and then Miss Lincoln is Q come out with the message she has for him. He's already told you about the plan Sergius had 10 kid nap her and hold her for ransom. The plot is well laid.

LARAMIE. Wyo., December 20.-Lan-
Ruage is the instrument with which man
has built his civilization. The most
important difference between Billie and
his dog is that Billie uses language and
his dog does not.
Language enables the individual to
make the necessary adjustment 10 ms
environment, but more important stlll,
it is the tool with which he fashions
his own personality.
When Max Muller delivered his lee
tures on language at oxford. he recog-
nized the function of language in the
development of man, and added that 1t
was a disgrace that in our general Sys-
tenn of education, and even of elemen-
tary education, no place should have
been found as yet for the science OF
language"
Statement Applies Here.
II he were to address an American
audience today, he could make the
same statement At no place In our
school system is there provision to
teach, except to a select few, the value
and the nature of our most precious in
heritance.
What we do teach is the mere eti-
uuette of language behavior. Impor-
tant, but no more related to the teach
ing of language" than rules OF deport-
ment are related to a course in hygiene
and physiology. In this day of science
we ignore the science of language, the
science which is most intimately related
to our racial culture and to our mental
growth.
Language Is a normal function. not
q body of facts and rules to be learned
We teach" q function when we bring
It's processes into consciousness, evaluate
them, and give more adequate controls.
Unconscious Of Powers.
ANY 5-year-old knows more Ian
guage facts than we try to teach him in
the schools--factS of word order, word
formation, the ways in which words
get meanings. the curious shifts these
meanings undergo, the relation of words
and sentence idioms to his thinking, etc.
But he does not know that he knows
these things.
To teach him language is to make
him conscious Of these language facts,
to systematic and evaluate them. This
is to put him in command Of the inStru-
ment of his thought, the tool of his
mental development. This is the science
for which we make no provision in our
educational system.

The gulls feed on scallops and other
