America considers that the
IL place Of the modern woman Is
not in the home but apart from
it, and that In these times she should
work either to gain her own livelihood
or to help out in the expenses OF
housekeeping budget.
This Is q conception OF femininity's
place that will make more than one
French woman smile. 1t Is quite evl-
dent, indeed, that If the American
woman no longer has any homing in
stinct, the French woman Is OF a very
differents mentality. Even French
women who are employed the most In
pursuits and occupations not domestic
arrange to keep an important part OF
their affection and activity for their
house or apartment. They believe, IN
mine industry is not to dedicate them
selves wholly TO a life at home, or
life away from home, but to combine
and reconcile the two for perfect hap
piness.

Diario Del Concrete, BarranquiIla:-
Bogota is being converted into CITY

Bogota could be more victimized by the
outlaws If the city had no police pro-
lection at all.
At present jewelry stores seem to be
the focal points Of the greatest depre-
dations. These establishments yield
the richest rewards in the smallest
compasses, circumstances which assist
the miscreants in escaping with the
plumber and successfully concealing it.
But no shop or business Is safe, and
the more one has to lose, the more
acute his nervousness and apprehen-
sion that he will be the next victim OF
these bold marauders.
Cross-bars on the doors Of private
houses are becoming more numerous
and more formidable. In the whole

who are making any money.

Porto Ricans Need
Training In Home Life.
FL Progreso, San Juan.-Patriotic
Porto RicanS are eager that their
island should advance rapidly along
the only fine Of material progress pos
sible In the modern world-that Is,
through Naturalization and highly
organized production. These call for
more than additional investments of
mainland capital and other external
stimulants. The latter may be essen

couraged by persistent and skillfu!
publicity. Porto Rico is as yet one of
the most poorly advertised places OF
equal opportunity and attractiveneSs
under the American nag. But real
progress calls for something subtler
and more fundamental than this-the
training Of the people in new kind
Of life. This means mass education
and self-discipline focused upon the
ideal Of O country where every family
has not only q fowl In its pot, but also
books on It's shelf. The practice Of
thrift TO achieve economic benefit and
independence for the island as well as
for the individual Is patriotic duty.
