don't know. I didn't invent
natural history and I refuse to
be responsible for it. only
know that husbands do pout
that the female of the species
was so constituted that she can
stand it-if she will.
For every woman is two
things to her husband. She is
his wife. And she is his mother.
She is his wife in order to love
him. And she is his mother In
order to live with him. And if
she has the sense God gave a
gooseberry, she'll never drop
the mother role.
For job, or no job, woman's
happiness depends on hers huS-
band as much in 1890 as it ever
did. Tillie can, it is true, find
freedom and funds in a job.
But she cannot find the price
less possession Of love and
pride and deepening content
which only marriage bring.
And she can only find these
things in marriage, if she
brings to the handling Of her
home and husband, the same
common Sc nSe which she
brought to her office work.
The Stenog who let's office

to establish unshakable theoreti-

syntheses long ago OWNED by

One Of the rich mines for

experiments and his rumina-

these experiments.
How fully he anticipated the
ideas Of Einstein is represented
In the passages given below.
Einstein's first crucial test
was the influence Of the electro
magnetic field Of the sun in
causing the deviation Of light

actually shown a definite con-
nection between magnetism and
light. Thus he says:
"a piece Of heavy glass was

IN THIS COLUMN I have
previously stressed the impor-
tance of every man and woman
and child being inoculated
against the dread disease. ty-
phoid. and I have also men,
toned the many ways these
bacilli may gain entrance into
the intestineS.
The disease is so dangerous,
however, that everything should
be done to make it clear to
everybody just what takes place
when the individual is laid low.
It must be noted at the out
set that the disease is specially
one of the intestinal tract, al
though changes in other organs
are not uncommon. The lungs,
kidneys. spleen and even the
brain may become affected.
The cleareSt way to think Of
typhoid is that it is a sort of
catarrhal condition spread
throughout the small and large
intestineS.
Usually the onset of the dis
ease is gradual and the patient
finds it difficult to say exactly
when he became i'll.
When the onset is sudden
there is severe headache. There
may be marked mental con-
fusion. muscular twitchingS and
even convulSions.
Sometimes there is inceSsant
vomiting or even a bad cold in
the chest.
The rash of typhoid Is char
acteriStic. It usually appears
by the end Of the first week.
This rash consists Of small
roSe-pink spots over the abdO-
men and chest. Such spots last
q few days and then disappear.
The temperature may be very

Is a symptom also and Is very

a big grown-up man have to

Why can't he manage to con-

Glenn Curtiss Did Not Fly
The First Aeroplane


Editor, Times:
had thought The Washing
ton Times paper "up to date"
in every way until I read the
astounding account Of Glenn
Curtiss' death and his record as
a pioneer in aviation.
Mr.. CurtiSS deserves great
credit, he deserves to live for
ever in the annals of aviation'S
development; but, he did not fly
the first plane that ever left
the ground. The Wrigh t
brothers did that on December
II, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, N. C.
Your aerial editor must be so
young in years that his study Of
the past history Of aviation is
not sufficiently far back to
know who was the first.
However, such errors as these
are an injustice to Orville
Wright, the living brother, and
also most unfair to the memory
of Wilbur Wright, the dead
brother, co-inventors Of the first
aeroplane to leave the ground
with man on sustained flight.
This was 1908. To my mind,
Mr.. Curtiss did not come promi-
nently into the field until sew
eral years later, about 1908.
Such an injustice to the
Wrights cannot be overlooked,
especially by a veteran paSSen-
ger flier Il flew in 1912 as pas

Just one glance is needed to
see that where the street was
once covered with green. it now
looks bare, even desolate.
Washington has long been
famed as a city of wide streets
and beautiful trees. In fact,
the recent Book of Washington
devotes no little amount of
space on just that subject

Trees make up a part of the
individualism, the character of
the Capital, why lose them?
Besides the aspect of beauty,
there is the selfish side of the
