THE EMOTIONAL SIDE OF
THE FRENCH IS UPPERMOST
Slid Scenes Witnessed at the Gare du Nord Show Most
Plainly the Awful Anxiety and Sorrow of
the French Women in Wartimes
By ELLEN ADAIR
TUB French. taken as a race, certainly
art emotional. They are really proud
JLare emotional. They are really proud
t the fact, too, and, unlike the English
and those ot colder temperament do not
seek to hide the metaphorical light ot
their affection under a bushel.
Every day Just no, at the
great Parisian railroad ter
minus, the Clare du Nord, one
sees scenes that baffle all de
scription For the soldiers
are now being granted five
days' leave from tho trenches
and are returning by the
thousand to Paris and outlying districts
rer a brief respite.
The reunions are very pathetic, for the
men have been at the front since tho
outbreak of war a year ago, and many
ot them have not heard from their homes
once during that time. The postal ar
rangements for the soldiers with nil due
deference to tho French are certainly not
of the best, and It Is an anxious time,
this atrlval at the Oaro du Nord. For tho
women ere crowding tho barricades,
training their eyes for the first glimpse
of those 'one-lost husbands, brothers, fa
thers and sons. And only too often does
It happen that their men are dead and
they wait In valnl
I have talked with many of these
women In the Inst two weeks, and their
anxiety Is pltlablot "Think you that he
will he hcreT" they demand of you Im
plorlrgly. And as tho moments slip past
and still there Is no sign of their man
they grow paler and paler and arc keyed
up to brenklng point.
Then news comes to them from a soldier-comrade
that their man Is killed)
And, with faces like stone, they turn
away from the wooden barriers and dis
appear In tho surging crowds. Sometimes
they go mad with grief I I have seen them
actio? like creatures demented, the shock
of sudden loss following on Joyous hopes
having proved too much for their mental
balance.
The soldiers look so worn and tired as
they come trooping through the barriers,
their uniforms covered with mud and
fit
BRILLIANT PLAID SILKS ON
CHIC AUTUMN TROTTEURS
SP n I N O fashions
had a conspicuous
feature in the use of
plain taffetas or other
silks, combined with
plaid In the same
gown. Fall styles
promise to continue
this mode,, with the
substitution of serge,
poplin or gabardine
tor more practical
purposes. The cut of
these dresses Is va
ried, although there is
still a decided ten
dency towards the
rcdlngote, with a wide
skirt Of course, there
Isn't any question that
the tlght-sklrtcd red
ingote Is passe, and
those who havo ono
with an underskirt,
such as were In Style
last fall, will need all
their Ingenuity to ef
fect 'a proper "dis
guise." The little street
gown shown In today's
Illustration Is reminis
cent of the Scotch
Highlanders, with its
brilliant plaids and
Jaunty bodice. The
latter, by the way, la
a development of the
jumpn style so popu
lar on tailored cos
tunus this summer. A
tendency towards the
peasant blouse Is also
noticeable, particular
ly In the lacings ot
life braid which are
used to closo the front
of the bodice. A novel
feature is the normal
waistline, Indicated by
a stitched belt, and
extending only on the
sides of the blouse,
with tabs of the Jacket
at the front and back.
The sleeyes and the
gulmpe are made of
plaid silk, with a cuff
of navy serge, and
still another soft cuff
ot organdie.
The skirt Is very
chic, having a Rus
sian tunic of the serge
and plaid material
combined. These
tunics, by the way,
were dimmed to tern-
Sorary obscurity, but
ave come back Into
favor with wldo un
derskirts, as such a
graceful style should
do. The scalloped ef
fect of the serge upon
the silk Is very smart,
indeed, and has been
a noticeable feature
ef many of the best
fashions shown in
New York this season.
Mr. Toad Hears a Noise
ONE night Mr. darden Toad was Just l
settling- down for a nice long sleep
when he heard a curious rustling in the
erase beside him.
"Who's there:" he called quickly.
No answer.
"I must have imagined that sound," he
aid to himself, and he lailly closed his

But hardly had he begun a pleasant

It la sad to watch the old, old men and

"One, two, three, four, five brave gar

old man exclaim, "and our boy Is not

old woman. "Do not then so Impatient,

PARENT AND TEACHER
URGED TO CO-OPERATE
'
N. J. Commissioner of Educa
tion Would Have Schools
Mndc Community Centres
TnBNTON, Aug. ii. The encourage
ment of rarents-Teachers Associations
nnd bringing tho children closer to the
vital problems of life are two of the
points emphasised by Calvin N. Kendall,
Commissioner of Education, in a commu
nication sent to the county superintend
ents and supervising principals of the
public schools of New Jersey. Commis
sioner Kendall adds that no school sys
tem will succeed without the hearty co
operation of tho parents.
One way to obtain tho aid of the com
munity, the commissioner says, Is by
giving lectures at evening schools on
special phases of work In which tho peo
ple nre Interested. Ho says there aro
certain Individuals In ench community
who would bo In a position to gtvo theso
lectures. Aa a community center, the
commissioner further asserts, tho school
could bo n icroat sourco of service. Tho
purcnth should visit tho schools and en
courage tho pupils In debates and other
activities. Superintendents nnd supervis
ing principals Bhould lead In these activi
ties, Commissioner Kendall declares, and
they should be given the assistance of
the talt of teachers.
Commissioner Kendall suggests that It
would bo beneficial for tho teachers to
meet the heads of- tho various schools
In tho Stnto boforo tho opening of tho
school term, so that they could get better
acquainted with tho work mapped out
for them. The caro of tho school room,
tho grading of pupils, tho conduct of tho
pupils, both In nnd oul; of tho school
room, recitation, the uso ot monographs,
etc., ho says, should bo the subjects dis
cussed at meetings of the superintendents,
supervisors and teachers.
WOMAN TELLS HOW
TO SUBDUE MASHERS
Mrs. Reba Lutz Describes Ef
fect of Sturdy Blow With
Clenched Fist
"Every woman should do what I did
when she Is accosted by o masher. If
girls and women slapped the faccs4 of
these men there would be less of them."
So said Mrs. Iteba Lutz, of IS South
Dewey street, the young woman who
struck a man In tho face nnd beat him
oft when he ntlemptcd to kiss her at BSth
and Market streets.
"I had been to the theatre with my
young cousin," Bald Mrs. Lutz, "and was
about to kiss her good night on the cor
ner when this man walked up, put his
arm around mo and tried to kiss me.
"Somehow I didn't think of being
frightened then. I slapped him In the
face, but he only laughed.
" "You'll have to slap a llttlo harder
than tthat, honey,' he said.
'I did. I shut my list and hit him In
the eye as hard as I could. Then I told
him I'd try my slipper on him If that
wasn't hard enough, nnd ho ran off. Ho
followed me and a few blocks away I
met my husband, who had the fellow
arrested."
Mrs. Lutz believes something ought to
be done to rid West Philadelphia of
mashers, especially Bid and 60th streets,
where she says they aro uncomfortably
plentiful. It was not until after she
had reached home following her en
counter, she says, that she became ner
vous. "I was terribly frightened nfter it was
all over," said Mrs. Lutz, "and my cousin
was so upset when I told her about it
that she has been 111 ever since. Tho
man was released In $300 ball to keep tho
peace by Magistrate Boyle, but I think
he got off too easily. He should have
been sent to Jail."
SUFFMGE BANNERS
WILL BE UNFURLED
Emblems to Be Stretched

Appropriate exercises are planned for
the event. Mayor lUankenburg and other
officials have been asked to attend; tho
presence of several suffragists ot national
reputation is said to be assured, and Mrs.
Wolston Dixey, of 5224 North Broad
street, will pull a yellow cord which will

By a Staff Correspondent
PEltKASIB, Ta., Aug. 28. Bright,
shining J20 gold pieces have been awarded
by Peter jit. Hagcr, 88 years old, a
wealthy Bucks County retired fnnncr, to
his eight children. Six grandchildren and
ono great-grandchild received crisp $1
bills. The gifts aro in honor of his 60th
wedding anniversary.
Tho money came here from a Phila
delphia trust company. Each gift, when
presented, was accompanied by a letter
from Mr. Hager. Tho letter expressed
his thanks 'to his children for being
obedient for years. Mr. Hagcr's wife,
Susanna Hagcr, 82 years old, also ex
pressed her delight In being happy to
havo eight good nnd kind children.
Everybody around Perkasle as well as
In dozens of llttlo villages In Ducks
County knows Mr. Hagcr and his wife.
They camo to Perkasle years ago, when
there wore no general stores, hotels nnd
other things which Perkasle now enJoyB.
Many persons refer to Mr. Hagcr and
his wlfo as tho "Grand Old Couple of
Bucks County."
Mr. and Mrs. Hagcr celebrated their
GOth wedding anniversary on July 23. Tho
celebration was attended by their eight
children, six grandchildren and ono great
grandchild. Since then almost every mall
has been bringing missives contaln'ng
messages of congratulations.
In Justice to Mr. Hager, tho reader
mustn't think that ho Is a reformer or an
"advice broker." Ho Is neither. He never
was. I3ut Mr. Hager mentioned several
rules which ho thought prospective bride
grooms ought to follow. And likewise
with Mrs. Hager. Sho also laid down a
set of rules for June, July nnd August
brides. Sirs. Hager said that the rules
weren't exclusively for these brides.
"Tho rules are good for any bride
whether sho marrcs In the month of June
or on Christmas morning," said Mrs.
Hager.
(Just a few words gentle reader con
cerning thoso gold pieces nnd crisp SI
notes) Mr. linger made up his mind
many moons ago to give presents to his
children. He refused to tell them Just
what the nature of tho presents would be.
Some of the children made different
guesses. They wero all wrong. Mr. Hagcr
and his wife talked It over between
themselves. Many things wero men
tioned. Suddenly the $20 gold pieces camo
to his mind. The couple considered tho
Idea for a long while. The took a few
friends Into their confidence. Tho next
move was to communicate with &, trust
company. The cashier of the trust com
pany dm the rest.
Mr. Hager and his wlfo wero married
July IS. 1855, by tho nev. Joshua Derr, of
SollersvlUe. Since the knot was tied,- and
Mr. Hager, by the way, had to borrow jl5
for Incidental expenses, neither of them
has ever thought of applying for divorce.
Both aro still active and In good health.
Mr. Hager Is a stanch Democrat and be
lleves in freo rade. Mrs. Hagcr's maiden
name was Susanna Kltnker. For years
they devoted their life to farm work.
About 12 years ago they retired. They
raised a family of 10 children eight of
whom are living. Samuel Hager is the
oldest child. He lives across the street
from the Hager home.
Both Mr. Hagcr and his wife spend

FOR SUFFRAGE TORCH
Shuttlecock of Equal Franchise
Fortune Badly Wanted at

Does anybody want to earn 25 easily?
Tho Equal Franchise Society of Phila
delphia stands behind nn offer of a J25
reward, which Miss Caroline Katzen

famous suffrage Torch of Victory, which
Is a comparatively easy way of earning
S, providing, of course, that the torch
can be found.
The torch has suddenly run Into a vein
of bad luck. About a week ago it dis
appeared from an automobile, at Atlantic
Highlands, while its guardians were Im
bibing ice -cream soda. A New York
lawyer picked It up In a Philadelphia
trolley car and returned It to its owners
Tuesday. It was yesterday left In the
hands of two youths while the elated suf
fragists Joyously celebrated its return.
But when they went to look for the lads
they were gone, and the torch had gone
with them. So far it has not been found
DELAWARE CO. SUFFRAGISTS
Secretary of League Says They Are

The statement that there are few suf

she met no men, and only three women,
who believed In the franchise for their

"There is nothing strango about us be

never had a quarrel. It Is to be happy

"My husband and I never quarreled,",
said Mrs. Hager, who sat near her hus

be kind to him," continued' Mrs. Hager.
"She should make good meals for him,
especially pies with a good tcjp crust and
brush it over with butter arid powdered
sugar. A wlfo should stop nagging her
husband because he won't wear certain
shirts. Just Imagine if my husband told

CITY SCHOOLS TO OPEN
ON SEPTEMBER 8
Headquarters the Scene of
Busy Preparations by Edu
cational Authorities
Inquiries poured Into the headquarters
of the Board of Education today con
cerning the opening of the new school
year.
The office of Dr. John P. Garber, act
ing superintendent of schools, in the Stock
Exchange Building, and William Dick,
secretary of the Board of Education, In
City Hall, were besieged with requests
for Information that came by mail and
telephone. It was announced that the
term would be begun on' Wednesday,
September 8, but that new pupils must be
enrolled on the preceding day.
Children who heretofore attended pri
vate schools, schools in other cities or no
schools at all and wish to be enrolled in
publlo classes here must appear with their
parents at the schools nearest their resi
dences. They must be prepared to an
swer various questions regarding age. na
tionality, etc.
Children of the age of 4 or E are
eligible for attendanca nt thn nnhti kin
dergartens. The age of 6 Is the average
for
wuuurcii entering mo elementary
grades, but attendance only becomes
compulsory under the State law at the
age of 8, Children who are at lnat n
years old may remain out of school, it
thoy hold a certificate from the Bureau
of Compulsory Education, declaring that;
they nre mentally and physically able to
be employed. Youngsters who are more
than 16 years old may be employed with
out certificates.
The parents of children who are ille
gally employed are liable to prosecution
and fine or Imprisonment by the Juvenile
C,?.urt ?rtft Magistrate. When the Cox
child labor act becomes effective in
January the regulations under which
minors may labor in atores and factories
will be even more severe than now.
An air of business is pervading- the of
fices of the school authorities. Teachers
are returning from the seashore and tho
mountains,, hooks that became dusty
during the summer are being cleaned, a
hundred thousand pencils have been
sharpened and blackboards are ready for
action.
When the term begins In the high
schools several men Instructors will be
missed. At the close of the last term
they were recruited In the armies of the
European countries now at war. Their
Places will be filled by men whoie names
appear on the eligible lists.

BOARD OF
WILL HEAR WOMEN
Wishes of City's Clubs as to
School Superintendent Will
Be Considered
The Board of Education will consider
seriously the action of the women clubs;
of the city In indorsing particular candi
dates for tho superintendency of schools,
vacated by the death of Dr. William C.
Jacobs.
Several members of the board de
clared today that tho opinion of the
women of the city will bo heard with in
terest, In vlow of the fact that there are
6000 women instructors In the publlo
school system. The attitude of the Phila
delphia Teachers' Association also will
be regarded as Important.
It Is not likely, however, that this or
ganlrntlon will take nny stand official
ly. The association consists of almost
every teacher In the city, with a regularly

ganizations arc expected to favor each
of the threo women candidates so that
warm debates may result Ifc Is almost
certain that a woman will be Indorsed
for tho office, -whoever sho may be.
The majority of members of the clubs
that nre expected to tako action aro
now out of tho city. They will soon re
turn so that they can tako action in tho
matter nt the first meeting ot tho fall
season.
FISH NOT BRAIN FOOD;
OLD BELIEF WRONG
Large Amount of Phosphorous
Has Little Bearing on Effect
on Gray Matter
Most of 'us aren't too old to remember
Into what a state of mental demoraliza
tion and spiritual collapso the youngster
across tho street threw us when he con
fided the awful truth about Santa Claus.
It was a pretty rude awakening all right,
but we know now thnt the Initiation had
to come sooner or later, and we hold no
honest grudge against that youth.
DIsllluslonments have followed so closely
on tho heels of one another that wo find
ourselves at last moro capable of being
more amused than alarmed at someone
skidding so hard into our old beliefs as to
topple them over completely.
A doctor, who has made an exhaustive
study of dietetics, says regarding Ideas
that. have been handed, flown for genera
tions like the family clock:
"It Is a mistake to believe that raw or
semi-raw meat is more nutritious than
that which has been moderately cooked.
Tho latter Is more easily masticated, and
on that account moro readily dlgcstiole;
and as it Is drier, It actually contains a
larger proportion of nutritive matter than
the same meat In the raw condition."
, PACTS ABOUT SOUPS.
"Soups and extracts are popularly sup
posed to be very nourishing, and aro fre
quently administered to Invalids on. that
account. Loss of nourishing matter re
sulting from moderate liolling is not very
grrat. Much of tho substance extracted
from meat by boiling undergoes a partial
decomposition, whereby Its nourishing
properties are greatly reduced. Soups
thickened by the admixture of quantities
of flour, barley and fresh vegetables are,
of course, an entirely different case. Each
of these foods contains a definite nutri
tive value of Its own.
"There Is a silly notion that fish is
brain food, because it contains a large
amount of phosphorus. It Is true that
fish is good for the brain, not for the
reason alleged, but because, being readily
digestible. It Is good for the stomach.
Some foods. egCS. for Instnnro. rnntaln
a larger proportion of phosphorus than
.... u.n i.io iiiuBimureacent appearance
that flsOi exhibits in tho dark Is no evi
dence of the presence of phosphorus.
This appearance is due to the action of
certain bacteria and in a sign of in
slplent decomposition.
"Many people entertain the ridiculous
notion that water Is fattening. Alco
hollo beverages taken In large quantities
havo a tendency to Increase the weight.
This effect is not due to the water, how
ler, but to tho solids of. which malt
liquors and certain wines contain a con
siderable amount Any healthy individ
ual may drinlC safely as much water as
he pleases.
AS REGARDS MILK.
"Milk has been called the perfect" food.
Thii is pre-eminently true as regards In
fants. But for adults there is no 'per
fect' food. Their requirements vary.
"And to say that there Is more nour
ishment In skim milk than In whole milk
Is silly. No food Is increased In nutrients
by extracting a portion of It.
"Eggs are considered a highly nutrl
tlous food. As a matter of fact, eggs do
not contain so large a proportion of nour
ishment as is sometimes supposed, com
pared to many other foods they are ex
pensive. That is to say, the same amount
of nourishment could be obtained from
other foodB at less cost."
