Zeal for Education Fad
Among Women of Mexico

Book-learning has become much
of fad among the mass of Mexi-
can women, writes Maria Teresa
Martinez in the New York Sun. Sixty
per sent of Mexico's 100000 popu-
lation are estimated to be illiterate.
This zeal for education begins
right in the home, the writer con-
tinues. Housewives, even the bust
est of them, are taking time to
master the Three RS, if they were
unacquainted with those rudilnents
OF modern learning; they are read
ing more and learning things of val
ue from books. Sales of worthwhile
books, magazines and newspapers
have increased remarkably in the
last five years, thanks to the book
bug of Mexican femininity.
Domestic servants, mattresses,
shop girls and factory workers are
now spending their spare time in
study. 1t is rather common for
parlor maid to answer the doorbell
with book in her hands. Many
housewives have taken the initiative
of devoting time to instructing their
minor help in the rudiments of
learning.
More girls than ever before are
becoming schoolmarms. Pay for
the teaching profession, for women
as well as men, has been boosted
some SO per cent in the last few
years.
Especial schools for women work.
ers have been opened. Very many
Mexican women are learning Eng
lish. Some of them are such apt
pupils that they get good working
knowledge of the idiom in less than
a years intensive study"

Optical Illusions Often
Cause of Superstitions

Many dangerous ancient supersti-
tons in regard to miracles, witch
craft, spells and the like were
based on now easily explained phe-
nomena of vision. After vision,
which is the common name for the
lingering of visual images, is usual
ly the result of tired, overworked
color nerves of the eye. This eye
flag alters the true appearance of
real objects and also causes persons
to see imaginary figures and hues.
Everyone has at som time or
other experienced after vision"
Look steadily al spot of black ink
on white paper for about 30 sec
onds and then quickly look up at a
white or light-colored wall, the area
will seem to be dark gray with
white patch on it. This is because
the nerve centers previously rested
by the black have become excited
by the change in color. In the same
way after staring at a red, bright
patch, the eye focused on white
object will see blue-gr color.
Strained eyes can we'll be called
Public Enemy Number One" of
the nervous system. In the same
way that society provides for the
correction of juvenile delinquents,
modern individuals should and are
learning to correct visual defects
and protect their eyes from strain
by rest, continual care and the sem
sible use of proper glasses.

People of Israel Deemed
Leprosy Moral Affection

Leprosy. curiously enough, to the
lsraelites, was more a moral than
a physical affection. Segregation
was purely ceremonial. If the leper
was fortunate enough to have his
symptoms, disappear a "sin offer
ing was prescribed by the Book
for atonement. For a poor man,
the holocaust usually consisted of
two pigeons - one pigeon being
killed over running water. Then,
according 10 the law the sick man
was sprinkled with the blood of the
victim before he was allowed adj
mittance into communion with the
Children of the Promise.
Historically, leprosy was known
to the Egyptians as early as 1000
BIC. In fact, many authorities
agree that it made its first dread
appearance in the land of the Pha-
raohs Pliny, the younger, writing
Of the spread of the disease in an
cient Rome emphatically states that
leprosy was unknown to the empire
until the era of Pompey the Great,
when il was imported from Egypt.
Herodotus had another version link
ing leprosy with Persia where, he
writes, popular belief was given
wide credence linking the afflicted
with those who had "sinned"
against the sun.
Few countries have been free
from the ravages of this ghoulish
disease. America is not an excep-
ton. According to well-knoWn au-
thorities leprosy predated the arriv-
al of Columbus. its existence being
proved by pieces of ancient pottery
representing deformities suggestive
of the disease.

A proposal to deliver natural
gas to Great Falls at from 20 to
Is percent less than is now being
paid by the Great Falls Gas Co.
to the Montana-Dakotas Corp. was
placed before the city council of
Great Falls recently by Walter
David, president of the Huber
Montana Co. and vice president and
general counsel of the ]. M. Huber
Corp. of Berger, Texas.
The company. David said, is pre-
pared to expend 100000 for con-
from the Cut Bank field. Investigation
of the proposal was agreed to by the
David and J. W. speer, attorney ap-
peared before the council in connection
with the application of the Great Falls
Gas Co. for a new franchise and a
special election on Oct. 16 to determine
Leases On $500 Acres
David said that the Huber-Montana
producing land in the Cut Bank field.
Three wells with from $4,000 900 to co.
600 600 cubic feet, open flow, of gas
are now in operation. and six new
wells will be drilled before Sept. l..
The Nadeau Bros. and Pardee inter-
ests of the Gut Bank field are inter
ested in the Huber-Montana Co.,
which was recently formed.
David further said that the Great
Falls Gas Co. in 1888 spent about
s452 900 for gas purchased from the
Montana-Dakotas Corp. and that a
20 to 25 percent reduction in this cost
would be about 100000 which could
be reflected in reduced rates to the
consumers.
The company has no desire to enter
in the local distribution business, David
said. 1t was suggested that it might
be advisable for the city to purchase
the local gas companys plant or con-
struct one Of its own.
Big Saving Effected
1.-THE reduction in the cost of gas"
said David sis not the only considera
ton. Montana men, farmers and ranch
ers would receive in royalties one
eighth of the money received from
the sale of gas Labor would benefit
through the expenditure OF 81 900
for the construction OF the pipeline
and the economic benefits generally
would be large"
The matter was referred to the pub
lie Improvement and judiciary COM
mittees, city engineer and city at
torney.
A resolution calling the special cleo
ton on Oct l6 to determine whether
the Great Falls Gas Co. shall be
granted a new franchise was finally
adopted on motion of Alderman T. E.
Hodges by a vote of to l. No direct
opposition to the election was raised
by Representatives of the HuberMon-
tana Co.

and apparently they had enough
resistance to withstand the unfavorable
conditions, DR.. Mills says. Also, warm
periods every few days, made it possible
for them to eat enough to keep alive
However. these warm periods were so
short, poisoning was handicapped, be-
cause poisoned bait is most effective
when put out at temperatures ranging
from 10 to 80 degrees. The periods OF
the few days when these temperatures
were reached we're so short bait could
not be put out. For 10 days during
the most critical period it was prac-
tically impossible to put out any bait.
Vegetation Is Luxuriant
Over large portion of the infested
area, range and idle land vegetation
Is growing luXuriantly. Grasshoppers
feed on this vegetation. While there
is some danger Of migration from I'M
poisoned areas where vegetation is
abundant. 1t is possible the hoppers will
remain there because of the feed.
The greatest danger of migrations Is
likely to come from the area whose
center is northern Rosebud and south
ern Garfield counties, where a COM
bination of early dry weather and later
grasshopper injury has practically de-
nuded the land.
