WHEN THE GAT'S AWAY THE

The Pleasures of a Summer Vacation Are Often En

"BIRTH OF A NATION"
AS A WORTHY LESSON
Assorts Photoplay Shows
Negro's Actions After War
Reflect on Unscrupulous
Politicians
NOT UNFAIR TO BLACKS
By DR. CHARLOTTE ABBEY
As ono who has formed a high estlmato
of the evolutionary possibilities of tho
Afro-American race through personal as
sociation with those Interested In social
work, I am sorry to find that an histori
cal play such as "Tho Birth of a Nation"
should be the cause of Inciting race preju
dice. Tho play teaches a mighty lesson
to both whlto and colored, and It seems
atrangn that lessons so plainly taught by
tho writer of tho play should need to bo
pointed out.
Through bloodshed tho United States
arose, but at tho very moment that tho
Stars and Stripes waved over tho States
there wero those who for their own sol
fish ambition put into action force that
led to tho racial prejudice that has slnco
existed and which threatened to defeat
tho Meals of the man who freed tho slave
for the purpose of giving him opportunity
to attain his humanitarian rights through
right living.
An unscrupulous whlto politician does
not understand the meaning of freedom
any moro than a, colored politician of tho
rame grade. To such the term "free
dom" spells license. He has not yet at
tained to the mental and spiritual stand
ard that enobles a man of higher grade
to seo that only through obedience to tho
Divine law which Jesus upheld as tho
precedent of all laws, and hlch Lincoln
obeyed. Is tho only means by which nn
Individual or people can bo worthy of
freedom. In "The filrth of a Notion,"
the author clearly shows that the negroes'
actions ut the time they wero freed wero
altogether the result of unscrupulous
politicians, backed by one who. whilst he
posed an a reformer, was really tho
aUve of his own personal ambition;
hence blinded to the true Interest of all
whom he was professing to help, and
therefore tho very antithesis of Lincoln.
Most children, whlto or colored, can be
bribed with candy or a nickel to do
what Is wrong, because so few have In
herited that moral perception which en
ables them to do right for rl3it'a sake.
So it Is with adults who have not had
the edueatlon that would have developed
their higher faculties; they can be per
suaded when an appeal Is made to Inher
ited desires to do as tho one who bribes
them wishes.
It la said that "a little knowledge Is a
danserous thing." This applies most as
suredly to an education that fails to maku
the law- of love to aod and thought for
others tho basis of all progress. Wo
June in consequence of this failure our
low-grade criminals and our high-grade

Icularly when there are children In the
question, and the never-ceasing wants of
theso children have to bo attended to.
"A friend of mine," continued this mas
culine authority on the subject, "per
suaded his wife to go to the seashore last
year, and he honestly meant to welcome
her back to a house as clean and orderly
as tho one sne entrusted to his tender
mercies for two weeks. Circumstances
wero against him, however, and when
his wlfo and tho children nnd tho maid
returned, at tho end of tho fortnight,
ready to enjoy tho wonderful supper that
had been promised them, they hod to
wait In the cab at tho front door for an
hour boforo my friend returned with tho
doorkeyl To this day tho neighbors think
that tho husband had sneaked to tho
pawnbroker's to get a llttlo money for
tho payment of that cabfare!
"Finally, when thoy all got Into tho
house, a dreadful sccno presented Itself
to tho feminine eyes of tho party. It
took my friend somo tlmo to rovho his
wlfo and tho maid, when thoy entered
tho kltchun nnd found the grnto rod
with rust, thousands of Vurnt matches
on tho Moor, tho flrcploco filled with cigar
and clgarctto ends, and Islands of grcaso
all otor tho fender! A good whiff of
nmmonhi, however, soon rovlvcd their
petrified tongues!"
Tho gentleman above referred to cer
tainly had mado havoc of tho neat, or

Second. Universal suffrage Is the ideal
of political freedom, but neither whlto
or colored man or woman should bo

each has "it clean moral rccotd of not less
than seven years.
Third. A nation will only bo truly
blrthed when children nro taught to grow
physically, mentally nnd morally great,
through kind and useful lives, tho result
of obedience, to tho dlvlno law of tho
ages.
Surely tho results of Afro-American
training. Illustrated In the "Birth of n
Nation" by views of students at Hamp
ton and other Institutions, and tho thor
ough exposuro of unscrupulous whlto
politicians and falsa reformers should bo
enough to do away with any fueling of
resentment by tno Arro-Amerlcan race
against tho play.
A SIMPLE FROCK FOR THE
YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT
THERE are many
anxious mothers who
nro trying to plan a
wardrobo for tho girl
who Is goli.g to college.
This Is not an easy
thing to do. It requires
a goodly amount of
money In tho Mrst place,
nnd even then the pos
sibility of success is
jeopardized by tho fact
that many mothers,
never having enjojed
the benefits of a col
lege education them
selves, eeldom know
what to buy.
Tho college girl's
evening dress Bhould
be simple. filio will
have occasion to use It
at the(varIouB "proms,"
and at Informal teas
and dances held, per
haps, In the spacious
"gym," Needless to
nay, she will need at
least a couple of thin,
light drosses which will
be practical and ser
viceable and will last
all during freshman
year If possible.

Muscles of tho Feet Should

Every Day
a wi.li . nlmtied foot Is n thing nny
woman might Justly be proud of. Tho
only reason that every woman hasn't
them In because she crowds her feet too
much. If tho toes nro squeezed In to a
central point It stands to renflon that the
Joints of the big toes get enlarged, nnd
often tho foot Is io squeezed that tho big
toe Is mndc to meet tho second too nnd
the first too Is doubled up and perma
nently deformed through tho prcssuie of
tho other two ngalnst It.
If you look nt n baby's foot you will
notlco that a straight line could bo
drawn from the contro of tho end of the
big too through tho centre of its bn,
nnd right down to tho mlddto of tho heel,
nnd It Is upon tho preservation of this
lino that Immunity from bunions de
pends, ttluli heel nro harmful, as inntij' nicdl
cnl men hnvo pointed out, for giving tho
Instep, as they do, an nrtlllclal support
ing arch, they weaken the natural arch
of the foot, causing n tendency to llot
footcdness. But It Is doubtful whether oven high
heels do ns much harm to tho nhnpo of
the foot ns a shoo that Is too short or a
shoo that Is of tho wrong shape Most
manufacturers show a tendency to mnko
shoes with too little variation In the oul
llno of tho outer and Inner part of the
foot. They nro too Inclined, also, !

If you have been wearing shoes nnd
bunions aro tho result, tho first thing to
in tn remeclv tho state of things Is to
'get your shoes mado bo that they follow
tho natural outllno or tno toot, aii mo
prcssuro on tho Inflamed Joint must bo

tho flrst stages of a bunion it Is often
posslblo to nchlcvo the last-named end
by wearing pnds of cotton-wool between
tho great nnd tho first toe.
EXERCISi; THE FOOT MUSCLES.
Muscles of tho foot Bhould bo exercised,
too. If the foot Is to keep in good shape.
It must bo tho right kind of exercise,
though, and too much prcssuro must not
bo put upon tho muscles. Long standing,
for Instance, Is very bad. Dancing, on
tho other hand, In heellcss shoes Is tho
best kind of exerclso tho feet can possibly
hnvo. You can bo on your feet all day
and yet not glvo tho foot muscles tho
proper sort of exercise. Girls who do a
great deal of housework get heavy on
their feet In time, for housowork often
means n lot of standing, nnd when you
stand a lot your weight gradually settles
on tho weakest part of tho foot, tho In
sldo of tho arch. No wonder, then, that
the arch gives way beneath tho atrnlnl
Be careful about the shoes you choose.

FORTITUDE OF THE
FRENCH
Scenes at the Gare du Nord Indicate the Spirit With
Which the Men Have Entered the World-shaking
Battle of the Nations
By ELLEN
Rtaff t'orrcsjiomtciit
PARIS, Aug, !
THE Garo du Nord always presents a
scuno of crcat.nctlvlty, nnd hen the
Red Cross trains come In from tho front
nil Is bustlo and cxcltmcnt. No ono but
tho doctors and their orderlies nro nl
lowed on tho particular platform at
which tho trains nrrlve, and a long pro
cession of wounded on stretchers nro hur
ried out to tho uniting nmbtilances.
Tho other day, when returning from n
village In tho outskirts of Paris, my train
drow up slowly nlongslde a Bed Cross
r.iln, and ns we passed each carriage the
sights wo aaw wero terrible.
On rough mnttrcsHcs or generally heaps
of straw, tho poor fellows wero lying,
nnd many of them nppenred to bo dead.
Somo lay writhing In agony, face down
ward, with their nrms stretched above
their heart h, while others wero rolling
about and moaning terribly. It was per
fectly heartrending to seo thorn In that
condition.
OPTIMISM OF THE FBENCII
Our train stopped opposite a window
at which stood n Boldler with n blood
stained baudngo round his head and his
nrms bound up. "I nm nfrald you are
badly hurt," I said.
"Wo hnvo Just come from tho front,"
ho answered, "and the Journey Is n llttlo
trying. My hand was blown off this
morning, and thcro Is only a rough dress
ing on the arm. I fenr there will bo an
other hemorrhage soon unless I nm taken
quickly to tho hospltnl. I was wounded
In the head, too, only n few hours ngo,
and I fear that tlie oyo Is destroyed. But
lot uh hopo for tho best!"
And this is tho optimism of tho French.
IIIh three companions lay on tho floor,
and ono ot them had no signs of Ufa
about him. "I fear that ho Is dead,"
eakl the man at tho window, "ho has
been unconscious all tho Journey."
Tho orderlies nnd doctors arrived at
that moment, nnd cut our conversation
short Tho occupants of the carriage
were oil carried out on otrctchers, includ
ing tho vall-nt-hearted soldier at the
window, whit had suddenly grown very
weak and dl 'y from loss of blood.
IN A SHELL FACTORY.
I obtained permission nnd sato conducts
to visit a shell factory situated about 30
miles out of Paris, on condition that I
would not divulge tho location of tho
place nor tho name of the town near
which It stands, and this because- the
Germans aro particularly anxious to dis
cover tho location of tho shell factory
and drop ono destrojlng bomb thereon.
It took ua ono and one-half hours by
train, nnd then wo proceeded by motor
car. There, amidst green fields, rose tho
bulldlngB, nnd they covered 18 acres of
ground.
No womon are employed there, for the
work Ib much too arduous, in tho first
great room wo entered a hundred men
were laboring at tho big machines. They
were black with dirt.
The steel was first of all poured through
a great cylinder and thus made to a cer
tain circular thickness. "When It solidi
fied It was cut into ioiigths and taken
on to another machine A great bore

tho lengths of steel. In turn, to mako
them all hollow. This bore did not pene
trate tho whole length, but left a solid
poitlon at ono rnd, which, of course,
bulged considerably.
In a third machine shell cases were
elongated, nnd as each camo out their
thickness was tested to tho tiniest frac
tion of nn Inch.
From there wo drifted Into another
great room to watch tho making of thoso
denth-dcniing llttlo Instruments, tho hand
grenades. They wero formed of cast steel,
with n llttlo shape of sand In tho middle
to prcscrvo the hollowncss, and looked
exactly like small cocoanuta.
Tho hand grenndo explodes because
thero Is a llttlo fuse Inserted, and nfter
n certain time, measured on tho sldo of
the hand grenade, tho fuso sets flro to
tho powder and tho llttlo shell explodes.
Hundreds of dentha have been caused
through tho soldiers holding tho gren
ades beyond tho appointed tlmo and Ig.
norlng tho time limit set. They should
bo thrown at tho enemy within a few
seconds of explosion a dangerous per
formance !
Further on thero is nn arsenal, whero
tho Bhells which aro roughly made In this
depot aro sent to be finished.
I chatted with tho man who worked tho
great engine in the ahell department. He
was a soldier, and had been wounded nt
the beginning of the war. Ono of his
eyes was of glass, which gnvo him a
peculiar air, but onco one got accustomed
to tho fixity of his look ho had quite a
pleasant face.
"I havo not seen my wlfo nor children
for a wholo year," ho said, "for I have
been hnrd at work slnco the outbreak of
tho war. Thoy llvo 80 miles from here,
and It Is Impossible for mo to get away
nt such a tlmo of pressure."
CONCERT FOR -WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
Part of tho building was devoted to
wounded soldiers, and was a regular hos
pital. In the evening wo attended a con
cert given, for their benellt, nt which
many of tho star artistes of Paris gavo
their services.
Tho enthusiasm ran very high, particu
larly ovor ono song cnlled "Vive I'ltalle,"
where the chorus was handed round
among the audience. This ditty recounted
how tho Kaiser had fondly Imagined ho
was going to havo Italy under hla heel,
but that Italy had shown now thnt she
had a mind of her own on tho subject,
and would submit to no such tyranny.
At night we were entertained at a

SEVERAL WOMEN M
Suffrage Orator Gives Names of
Educators Able to Head
Schools
rrt..A , BAVArnl mnablo women In
Philadelphia who would be moro than
able to flit tho position of Superintendent
of Schools, according to Miss Ucrtha
Sapovlts, suffrage speaker, who addressed
a. crowd of several hundred persons at tno
PostoIIlco at noon today.
Mounted on nn improvised plntform and
standing beside a suffrngo banner, Miss
Sapovlts decried tho discrimination which
?he said was made against women on
many occasions.
"Wo Philadelphia havo a serious
problem before us today," alio said. "I
am referring to tho tilling of the posltlorf
of Superintendent of Schools, n posi
tion mado vacant by tho death of Doctor
Jacobs. It Is an Important niid responsi
ble position, nnd thcro Is no reason why
It should not bo tilled by n capable
woman.
"Women nro unjustly discriminated
ngnlnst on account of their sex, but It
tho cry of justice is heard, uny ono oi
bucIi women ns Miss Kathnrlno Puncheon,
Dr. Lucy Wilson and Miss Mary Ingham
would make nn Ideal Superintendent nf
Schools.
"Tako Miss Inghnm, for Instance; look
nt tho part alio plnycd at Harrlsburg
In regards to tho recent child labor law.
Sho Is every Inch n capable woman.
Speaking of sox discrimination, If I ro
member correctly, Miss Puncheon, when
sho becaino head of tho high school, was
given a amnllor snlnry than hor prede
cessor for tho slmplo reason that sho
was a woman."
Miss Carollno Katzenstclti, executive
secretnry of the Equal Franchise Society
of Philadelphia, nnd Miss A. Florcnco
Ycrger, an attorney, replied today to tho
"chargo" of motherhood made against
Mrs. Lucy L. W. Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson, head of tho Department of
Ulology nt tho Philadelphia Normal
School and principal of tho William Pcnn
Evening High School, Is a candidate for
higher ofllca. Sho has been proposed for
tho prlnclpalshlp of the South Philadel
phia High School for Girls nnd also for
tho suporlntcndcncy of Schools, vacate
by tho death of Dr. William C. Jacobs.
Objection has been mado to Mrs. Wil
son because sho Is a mother. To this
opposition Miss Kntcznstcin Indignantly
replied:
"Should Doctor Wilson be punished be
cause she exercised the duty upon which
the universe itself depends? Tho fact
thnt she educated her son, onco a mute,
Into healthy, normal manhood. Indicates
in itself that sho Is capable of under
standing tho problems of the young.
Miss Ycrger, nn attorney of this city,
severely criticises tho "nameless Individ
ual" who makes tho chargo of mother
hood against Doctor Wilson, and nsks
