 "Of course, we have modern women in England and on the continent but one can't compare them with those in the days of Clara BoW-dear little Clara because Europe is behind Ameri- ca in such things.
 Dear little Clara! She visited me four years ago. I could have made her the greatest emotional actress on the screen. All she needed was good advice. Pm glad she's happily married now"
 Women "Too Individualist,c c"
 From the European and Eng fish points of view, it strikes me women are a bit eccentric from attempting to emphasize their in- dividualities too much. Gradual ly, they are realizing this and are finding their balance, but it will take some time yet.

LINCOLN GRAMMAR
HINTS OF ROMANCE
Library of Congress Has Book
That Emancipator Used to
Instruct Sweetheart.
Nv The Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Suppose you'd find on your desk
some morning the very grammar Alb
raham Lincoln used. first to teach
himself, then to teach his sweetheart,
Ann Rutledge.
That's what happened a couple OF
years ago to v. Valta Parma, rare
book room curator. and he's been alert
ever since to other rare items on that
famous romance.
The grammar came from the Rut-
ledge family-in glass case all pre-
pared for its present proud position
on the path the public makes through
the Library of Congress.
Interlined In its lengthy title, in
Lincoln's writing, is this revealing SEN
tence:
Ann M. Rutledge is now learning
grammar"
The Samuel Kirkham subtitles told
It was grammar embracing a new
systematick order of parsing, new
system of punctuation, exercises in
false syntax"
Turning over its pages, in which the
verb ito love" is duly corrugated. the
false syntax" appears in samples such
as: II know it to be they" "I seen
him. have saw many a one," sit is
me or him who you requested to CO."

Farmers attending the recent Farm

LEXINGTON, KY, February g.
With only a small "thumbnaiT' marker
to record its history, the home of
Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Abraham
: Lincoln, stands neglected on a side
street here.
Housing now vacant grocery store
on the ground floor and a public
boarding house upstairs, the home of
Mary Todd stands unnoticed among
other dwellings of the neighborhood.
The home of Mrs. Lincoln's father,
. Robert S. Todd, was not the scene of
& the courtship between Lincoln and his
wife, as Lincoln met Mary Todd when
!: she was visiting her sister in Spring
field, Ill. However, the couple did
spend much time in visits here.
Recently the Indiana Lincoln Asso-
citation sent for bricks from the house
to be used in memorial to Nancy
Hanks and since then 50-pound
stone from the foundation had been
sent to the National Girl Scouts Little
House" in Washington, D. G.
The stone was installed on the oc-
casion of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt's
visit to the Scout house.
The bronze marker was placed on
/, the door of the home by the Pyramid
Club Of Lexington.
At various times there have been
expressions from local groups to re-
store the home to its former beauty
with flower gardens and converting 1t
into O Lincoln museum, but nothing
has CONG of them.

The farmer has been doing plenty
of talking about this decision and
indications are that he will do more.
In fact, the Farm Bureau in Iowa,
in conjunction with farm organiza-
tions in other States, has called a
series Of county meetings for the
farmers to get together and talk over
the matter and pass resolutions or
take other appropriate action.
Expressions Of opinion of farm lead
ers and farm groups generally have
approved of the statement Of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace that the
processing tax decision constituted
the greatest "legalized steal in his
tory" Economists at Iowa State
College have supported Secretary Wal

hogs.

Telephone calls in December num-
bered $4,000, 900. as compared with
81 ,000,000 during the same month in

compared with 238, 100000 in 1894.
