HE GIRL WHO IS
. DEFENSE OF ATHLETICISM

7U Athktic Girl Is Healthier and Often More Compan

Stays Indoors

rt TWB tlmo of our crest rrranamothera
Om temeoy was an object formuch cert-
ana criticism. Few people had a,
word to nay In her favor, for ehe
violated all prlncjplea of
womanly conduct. To alt
all day lone In a stuffy
drawing room, aampler
or fancy work In hand,
was the Ideal of dully
routine and one which
jrvery girl was expected
to live up to.
Nowadays, however, the
viewpoint haa entirely
changed. While thero are
few backward, antl-
auated aoula who con
derrin the nthletlc girt aa
"ttnboyUh" or unwomanly, the aver a go
hwMvldual la of the opinion that athletic
tern for women, If not carried to excess,
le a very good thine, and remarkable
healthy In Its tendcnclea.
The girl who rtows up with brothers Is
generally mora athtetlcally Inclined than
the girl who haa no masculine society
dwelling at home. For the boys of the
family In their more youthful days, at
any rate Include their stater In all their
game, and put her through a hardening
preest which ahe will find very useful
In after years.
"The first thing a mother owes her girl
te' a strong, healthy body," declared Miss
Gertrude Van Hocsen, of the Chicago
Behest of Education, who Is n well-known
authority on matter feminine, "The girl
wh' grows up with boys, playing baseball
with them as equals, tennis, and even
football. It ahe wants, comes out with a
phy-lque superior to-that of the llttlo girl
who stays at home and plays with her
tells. The boy benefits as much as does
the girl. If he plays with tho right kind of
girl. He learns to bo more gentlo and
considerate."
"The second thing a mother owes her
daughter Is the right kind of recreation.
It Is as Important that the leisure time of
a child, should bo -directed as well as tho
werk-ing time."
LINGERIE STYLES

Jtl
FA-LL lingerie styles
have hardly shown
any decided tendencies up'
to the present writing,
although there are many
Interesting novelties In
tho shops. These, how
ever, could not be looked
upon as authentic autumn
fashions, only charming
exceptions. As a general
thing, the style situation
Tilth regard to lingerie is
about the same. Crepo
de chine and Georgetto
till remain popular, and
a new favorite has made
its, way Into the shops.
This la pink crepe, a non
- transparent and. practical
3JS fabric, for everyday wear,
taand J-eally quite as at-
tractive as the more ex
pensive models.
t read an article by a
famous lingerie and fash
ion expert In which she
declared that tho under
wear for general usage
was not made of trans
parent fabrics, as a rule,
for the simple reason
tha they won't stand the
necessary rubbing and
fcoUIng which' is the fate
ot everyday clothes.
While Georgette crepe
wears well, considering
what a really cobwebby
material It Is, the plain,
ordinary woman, whose
Income and whose time ts
equally limited, wants
something like batiste or
China silk, which will
wear Indefinitely.
A charmlnir little night
gown Is shown in today's
illustration. It Is qulto
dd,( and so unlike any
other ishown recently,
that I should auggeat It
for a Christmas present
for the girl whose hope
chest Is being filled with
various pretty things. It
could be easily made of
her avorlte .color and
featherstltched at the col
lar, euffa and front, as
wtl as around the hand
a4 hem. The effect Is
tity 'harming;.

A TOMBOY;
"A third thing which she owes ts the
type of education which will make It pos
sible for Ifer children to choose later what
they want to do. In most eases the girl
goes through high school without having
the most remote Idea what she wl-hrs to
do when sho finishes. Some ability In
some line should be developed In order
that she may havo something by which to
earn her living, If she must"
Another thing which a mother owes
her daughter, according to Miss Vnn
Hoesen, Is some kind of training along
artistic lines which can bo brought to
bear In the arrangement of the home,
"The two requisites for a happy home,"
she declares, "are an Income sufficient to
keep It comfortable, and some one to dis
pense that Income In an adequate way.
It Is the duty of mothers today to know
how and where they can get the best for
their money, not the most for their
money."
The best training which n girl can pos
sibly receive Is at the hands of her
mother. And yet many modern mothers
fall to adequately renllte the full measurn
of the responsibilities which rest with
them.
That the athletlo girl Is a drug In the
matrimonial market Is qulto an error, but
one which Is frequently made try peoplo
whoso perspective Is not as clear on cer
tain matters as It should be. For ath
leticism does not exclude domesticity, nor
Intellcctuallsm, nor any of those little
charms and feminine "ways" which ren
der a woman so attractive to masculine
eyes.
Upon the contrary, the
athletic girl Is more of a

Woman Suffrage and Old Ma

of Wife of Public Safety
Director
HIS POLITICAL ADVISOR
am.
perhaps, when feminists'
!., .efltTII COIDO ttUC. the fltnCSS Of ttlO
bulX:
enter In her charming home at D91S Wayne
.venue Is convincing proof of the fact
nat f George D. Is the ultimate choice
mm the people his capable wife stands
rcnay 10 no ner pan.
Husband, home and horseback riding
she names as her three chief Interests,
but a thousand and one other Incidental
Interests, from woman'B suffrage to old
mahogany, help to occupy her thoughts
and time. At the present moment, how
ever, the dominant thought of the Porter
home Is the Director's political future,
and the bright gray eyes of Mrs. Porter
glisten enthusiastically when she talks of
the possible results of the fall election.
HER LlTTLfi SCERET.
"I'll tell you a llttlo secret." she said
confidentially, "If you don't tell any one"
but, of course she didn't mean that, and
the reporter had every Intention of telling
from the Btart. "It Is that I, little me,
am really responsible for, my husband's
first Interest In politics arid the govern
ment of this city.
"Ever since I married Mr. Porter (an
other secret, it was. 18 years ago) and
came here to live I have been enor
mously Interested In Philadelphia. I love
the city as I love no other. My creed
Is 'Philadelphia, first and foremost.'
"When wo first moved out here in Ger
mantown, more than IB years ago, tho
effort was made on the part of some of
the residents to get Mr. Porter Interested
In local polities. He consulted with me
then, as he does now" this proudly "and
I felt that there waa not so much a field
for good men In the political game as
there was a great and crying need for
them.
"I urged him to take a deep Interest
In the affairs of the community, and be
cause he proved himself adapted to the
game or, rather, I like to think of poli
tics as a science the way- has led upward.
I am proud of hla record, because few
men In this day of muckraking and mud
slinging can show so clean a slate."
PACE ANIMATED.
Mrs. Porter Is an exceedingly good
looking woman. Her face has that qual
ity which above all others Is attractive
the quality of lightning up with wonder
ful animation and enthusiasm when she
Is talking of something In which she Is
keenly Interested.
People who know the Director's wife In
timately, however, declare that the great
est of all her attributes Is her charming
gractoueness ana, ner wholesome hospi
talityattributes Without which no wife
of a political officeholder can ever hope
to be a success.
Her home .she regards as tho medium
through which she can best express her
executive ability, and the beautiful artis
try with which it" Is furnished demon
strates clearly that the ability for home
making la also among the lady'a talents.
"Mr. Porter and I both believe firmly
In woman suffrage," Jilrs, Porter said;
"but you can see for yourself that I nm
not the type' of woman built for active
campaigning for the cause. I couldn't
make a speech If I tried, and therefore
T am not going to try, but shall do the
best I can by believing in It, talking
about It to my friends and. trying to be
a good citizen when the time comes to
voto, for It Is surely" coming. I don't
think any one doubts that.
"Contrary to tho prevailing opinion
among men, I .have always been a be
liever In -women's executive ability, and
I believe that so long aa we cannot take
any very active part In governmental af
fairs at present we can exercise this
ability in our homes."
The Porter establishment la an Indis
putable testimony to this. Their friends
declare that the Porter menage runs
Without a hitch, and that regardless of
the domestic crises which arise from
time to time In every home. Mrs. Porter
always tops the wave, victorious. In
other words, things never sosm to go
wrong.
"What Mr. Porter has done with his
department," she aald modestly when
questioned about this, "Is what I have
trier to do In my home. He was my
model. I believe that a woman should
endeavor to keep her Interests aa diver
sified aa possible, but her home should
always come first."
The Porters have one child, Rodman, a
boy 1 years old, who. If his mother has
anything to do with It, wilt not enter poll
tics. "One la the, family Is enough," she said,
laughing. "Patttlea and municipal ofRcs
take too raveta of a man's time, and It It
weren't .that I am so keenly Interested In
my husband's work I would be Jealous of
the time Ma work, occupies. I am used to
K new. af aourse, but as lonr as I llv r
hU ajwy feel a certain sympathy with
tWe wlvsa of' public men who are forced
to tftve up tfeete haabands to the people"
cause I haaaen ta be ee of them."

SUFFRAGISTS HOPE
PRESIDENT
WILSON A SUFFRAGE CONVERT?
The President, it is declared, will come out for suffrage soon, which
event will bo a vindication of tho policies of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw
a3 evidenced in suffrage campaigns.
Prominent New Jersey Members of Women Voters'
Conference Believe He Will Declare Himself
Favorably in the Near Future
PRESIDENT WILSON Intends to de
Jl clare for woman suffrage soon. That,
at least. Is the opinion of several promi
nent suffragists from Now Jersey who
will attend the opening of the Women
Voters' Conference In San Francisco on
September H.
Announcement haa been made that a
hard fight will be waged at the confer
ence to force the executive board of the
Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage
to declare against the policy pt fighting
the Democratic party and Its candidates
because It will not use its majorities to
put a suffrage amendment through Con
gress. A lively tilt Is promised. The Insur
gents are banding together for the on
slaught on the anti-party policy which
was Instigated by Miss Alice Paul and
Miss Lucy Dunn, chairman and vice
chairman of' the board.
FEAR TO ALIENATES PRESIDENT.
New Jersey suffragists, however, are
feurful test something be done at the
conference to alienate President Wilson.
They tfeclare they have full assurance
that he Intends to declare for woman
suffrage soon. They are pinning their
faith on tbe statement of a Hudson
County Democrat who had an Interview
with Mr. Wilson recently.
The assurance given by the New Jersey
votes-for-women workers has failed thus
far to satisfy members of the Congres
sional Union who want to gain suffrage
at one clean sweep and not State by State.
Officers of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, of which
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw Is president, have
opposed the anti-party policy from the
first, and say that tbo Insurgent move
ment waa not Instigated by the national
association, and that It started among the
women voters of the West, who believed
the results of their civic work might be
compromised by an effort; to commit them
to any political party.
Dr. Arm Howard Shaw was chairman
of the annual conference of the associa
tion held In Washington recently. She
Headed a delegation of several hundred
women on the memorable visit to the
Whlto House, when President Wilson re
fused to commit himself, Doctor Shaw
on several occasions haa mildly criticised
the President
More than 388 women are expected to
attend the conference, which may prove
f,B,fSbi tv to tha wnk4 saovament.
It will be held on Septefsber M, M and 1,
at the Pttnama-Paclfto Exposition, The
waasen voters win get together to devise

FINGERS AIR TKE FASTEST
AND GREATEST TRAVELERS
Stenographers' Digits Cover as Much
as 100,000 Miles n Year
Hdw many stenographers have ever
stopped to think of the distance their
fingers travel In a day, a week or a year!
Their fingers ore tho moat amaslng trav
elers In creation and capable of going
enormous distances without the fatigue
that would afflict the feet and legs In
performing a similar Journey. In ordi
nary handwriting the hand may tr1'
according to nn expert, 10.000 miles in
a year nnd not Indicate Impairment.
Iteckonlng on the basis of these figures,
It Is estimated that the fingers of the
average akllful stenographer must travel
at least 10 times as for, which means
that the dexterous manipulator of tho
keyboard of the typewriter docs a finger
Journey of 100,000 miles a year.
This question of how far the fingers
travel In the case of typists has aroused
not a little Interest among scientists,
who have also made Investigations ns to
the distance the fingers of an expert
pianist travel In the same time, working
as continuously and at ns high a speed.
It Is reported that Sir James Paget
some years ago made a calculation of the
expenditure of brain nnd muscle re
nulred for a nerformonco on the piano.
He asked n famous pianist to play one
of the swiftest nieces of muslo known
to her. a Dresto by Mendelssohn. The (
time It occupied was taken and tho num
ber of notes counted. Sho played D93S
notes In four minutes and threo sec
onds, rather moro than Jt notes n sec
ond. "Certainly," said Sir James when re
porting on the experiment, "thero were
no fewer than 72 distinct variations In
the currents of nerve force transmitted
from the brain to tho muscles In each
second, nnd each of these variations was
determined by a distinct effort of tho
will.
"There were at least four conscious
sensations for each of the 21 notes in
each second. That Is to say, there were
W transmissions of force from the hands
to nerve fibres along their course to the
brain In each of the same seconds."

BACHELORS MAKE
BEST GOVERNORS
Oklahoma Executive Says Mar
ried Men Must Think First of
Their Wives and Homes
Bachelors make tho best Governors,
for a married man should think first of
all of tho needs of his wife and family,
whllo a single man can devote all his
time to the cares of State.
This Is the belief of Governor R. L.
Williams, of Oklahoma. The executive
Is 4S years old and unmarried.
"Bachelors have a hard tlmo In this
world," declared tho Governor. "But
they havo more tlmo to give the State
than a married man," he went on. "Tho
Bible says the first duty of a married
man Is to care for his wife and family.
Tho bachelor Governor, not having a
wife and family, can devoto more tlmo
to tho cares of the State. Therefore, he
is a better Governor than a married
man."
"Wo have good crops In Oklahoma,"
said Governor Williams, switching from
matrimony, "with the exception of the
cotton crop. Last year that crop was
good, but tho war knocked the bottom out
of the cotton market. This year Is a
small cotton year, but the wheat nnd
other crops will be good.
"The Indian citizens of Oklahoma aro
all right. Two of our Senators nrd In
dians and wo havo two squaw men in
Congress. Squaw men. you know, aro
white men who havo married Indian
wives. Oklahoma was mndo a State No
vember 16, 1907, eight years ago."

Paris for Politeness
Translated rather crudely and literally,
this ls'tho notice In a Paris trolley car:
"Messieurs, the passengers descending
from the carriage are urged (literally
'prayed') before renouncing tho shelter
which the'carrlage they are about to quit
offers them, to assure themselves, as a
preliminary, that no carriage coming In
the opposite direction Is In proximity,"
