womens colleges ^re engaged
in celebrating anniversaries. First
Byrn Mawr celebrated its fiftieth
anniversary in October. Dr. M.
Carey Thomas, founder of the col

comment on these changing times:
"No woman under seventy can
realize how changed is the woman’s
world in which we are living to
day.”

Women own three-fourths of the

women are beneficaries of 80 per
cent of the 65,000,000 life insur
ance policies, aggregating $1,000,
000,000,000. The statistically mind
ed may be interested in the fact
that 65 per cent of the savings ac
counts, totaling $14,242,800,000,
are in women’s names. !
Jan. 9 is an anniversary which all
who worked for suffrage or who
are working for world peace should
remember, for that is the birthday
of that fine feminist Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt. On that day she
will be 77 years young.

the enlargement and enrichment of
life”

virtue of its citizens.”
Newspaper women will find
their careers dramatized next spring

A woman scientist is receiving a
great deal of homage at present.
She is Dr. Lucy Porter Sutton, a
members of the faculties of New
York University and Bellevue
Medical College, who through medi
cal research discovered that St.
Vitus’ dance might be shortened by
artifically induced fever.
Twenty years ago women as rail
road employees might have been
exhibited in a circus. Today Am
erican railroads are employing
women as passenger representatives
draftsmen, crossing watchmen,
blacksmiths and presidents. Ac
cording to Margaret Talbot Stevens,
in a recent issue of the Independent
Woman, an eastern railroad and
two on the Pacific Coast have taken
the lead in this.

Refreshing Relief
When You Need a Laxative
Because of the refreshing relief it
las brought them, thousands of men
and women, who could
afford much more ex
pensive laxatives, use

nomical, purely vegeta
ble, highly effective. . . Mr. J. Lester
Roberson, well known hardware
dealer at Martinsville, Va., writes:
‘I certainly can recommend Black
Draught as a splendid medicine. I

Maybe His Idea Don’t Fit Into
Today’s Economic Scheme—But
Small Gifts Can Last, Too.
He wasn’t very old—not a day
over 90—but he seemed to have
some definite opinions. He started
in on pipes, and after quite a ser
mon on the superiority of corn
cobs over briars, he switched to
Christmas.
"Why, gosh-a-mighty man”, he
said, "they ain’t a Christmas goes
by I don’t git some doo-dads ’r
other. ’Tweren’t only last Christ
mas my daughter, Elviry—the
young un, she’ll be 5 0 afore long—
gimme a trick ash-tray.
"Now them things ’re alright
for distant relations. But when it
comes to close kin . . . well, in my
day, folk only give presents to
th’ fam’ly. And they war for
keeps, too. A desk, a ring, a
pianny, somthin’ y’could hold onto
with a warm feelin’ in yer heart.
Someth’n’ y’ could remember ’m
by.
"Nosir, I think th’ modern gen
eration’s all wrong. Oh I ain’t
agin’ ’m givin’ knicknacks t’
strangers ’n’ distant relatives . . .
but they’d oughta cut down a bit
and put what they’d save into
somethin’—well, what I mean,
young feller, is . . . what’s the next
genera ton gin’ to do for heirlooms?
Answer me that!”
We couldn’t answer him, but we
were glad to see so many people
doing just what our young friend
advocated . . . buying finer, more
lasting gifts with the money they
were saving on "duty” gifts
through the ads in the News and
Press.
Not that to be lasting a gift must
be big; it’s quality, not size he
really had in mind. Many a silver
plated mug given a baby has been
kept for generations . . . grown
ups have a way of treasuring little
things, too. Keep quality in mind
when you do your Christmas
shopping and you can’t go wrong!
Direct sunlight should not shine
into a cellar in which vegetables
are stored. They keep fresh
longer in a dark, well aired cellar.
Sun glasses are used on cows in
Russia to protect them from snow
blindness.
The Chinese, six centuries ago
used a vehicle which carried pas
sengers and dropped a eble in a
receptacle to check off every mile
