WOMEN RESPECT PHYSICAL
STRENGTH IN MEN, M'LISS SAYS
Small Creatures Must Have Additional Mental
Equipment if They Are to Compete Success
fully With Their Brawnier Brothers
IT WAS nftcr tlio flRht tho Wlllard-Moran bout, of course unci tlio two men
slUIng In front of mo In the trnln en route from New York hint Just finished
ah animated discussion of tho technlenlltlrs of the name, Including a graphic
and sickening description of whnt Moran looked llko nftcr JJIp Jess had dono
tfio worst to him In tho seventh round.
I was Just beginning to rumlnnto on the Inherent and primal brutality In
these two men, who, though apparently of the highest refinement and sensi
bilities, had witnessed a spectaclo which tnust have been frightful In its gory
horrlbtencss, when ono of thfcm, changing his conversational tack, whipped out:
"And, by George, did you see tho women at that fight? Talk about your
blood lust, their facc3 wero studies to behold. There seemed to bo a thousand
of (hem, and yet tho only expression that I witnessed on their composite
countenanco was one of fascination and Interest? pitched to tho nth degree."
"Yes," his companion retorted, "and I'll bet they were rodling for Wlllard,
too. No sympathy for poor Maran. Ho isn't tho big lmndsomo brute that
WJllard is. Believe me, If a wothnn was to decide tho Issue I'd back a big
handsome bruto against any amount of brain and skill. And furthermore, it's
they who are tho savages, not c."
I did not attend tho fight. I do not know bow tho women behaved there,
where two men nt so many thousands per tntnuto were engaged In beating each
othef'-out of all human semblance. Uut I think It cannot bo denied that women
of all stages of "civilization" havo loved brute forco nnd hold It in greater
esteem than mcro mental equipment.
Your famous scientist or Inventor
muscles nnd with his gray matter enough for three normal beings Is not tho
recipient of tho "mash" letters protestations of lovo and admiration that tho
Hercules Invariably receives.
It may bo woman's lovo of protection
which is rcsponslblo for this worship of brawn, but tho fart remains that the
majority of us do prefer physical strength and virility In tho men wo know
to punlncss and effeminacy, no matter how It Is supplemented with cleverness
and talent.
Ono of tho most striking examples of this is that very Interesting early
novel of Georgo Bernard Shaw's called "Cnshel Byron's Profession," which Is
perhaps tho first eugenic novel written In modern times. Tydln Carew, Its
heroine, is described as being a girl of vast learning and oxquislto culture. In
addition, she Is rich, young, exceedingly charming anil, therefore, much sought
after. Cashcl's profession Is none other than prlzo fighting.
And yet though sho might havo had her pick from Great Britain nnd tho
Continent, and despite tho centuries of family tradition that ought to havo
mado her repugnance to the pugilist insurmountable, sho succumbs and mur
rios him.
And her lovo for him started ono spring morning when Cashed lifted her
.to her feet from tho river bank where sho sat '
"You ore very strong." sho said to him, and In those words acknowledged
that it -was his strength which above all attracted her to him.
And by the same token Cashel found her Irresistible because sho was so
email and so aristocratic tho very antithesis of his own awkward self. It Is
a funny world, Isn't It? M'LISS.

Dear M'Llss On April 1 I am going to
glvo n little afternoon affair to 15 young
girls about 10 or 17 years of age. I want
the entertainment or games to bo In keep
ing with All Fools' Day and shall be very
grateful if you can suggest borne games or
some form of amusement that will be fool
ish and full of fun. I am going to have
a peanut hunt, but no peanuts April fool
but I want other stunts nisor
DOYLESTOWN.
Why not havo tho game called "Going
up in an aeroplane?" It is'strenuous, but
amusing. Take two, girls Into your confi
dence who are strong and lively. Let all
'the other guests draw numbers, to deter
mine tho order In which they shall go up
In the piano.
(In, nnothcr room have the two girls,. an
Ironing board, placed across two Inverted
buckets, and a liook. Now bandage tho
eyes of the first "victim." telling her that !
the rarefied atmosphere of the spaco above
the clotfds makes this course necessary, or
something el the kind. The n let the victim
step up to the Ironing hoard nnd sit on It.
Tho other two girls should bo holding on
to cither end of tho board, and when tho
passenger mounts they lift It a little bit
and wlgglo It as much as possible.
Tho passenger will scream, of course,
for the sensation Is very queer, especially
if tho affair takes place in a darkened
room. Now tell the passenger to duelt her
head, as sho is going to hit a cloud, which
is the signal for a gentle tap on tho vic
tim's hen,d with the book.
Bach one who has been up In tho aero
plane should bo kept In the room to enjoy
tho other's fun. If you want a really
thrilling climax, tell the victim to jump.
as she Is up too high or gas Is giving out,
etc. She will make an exaggerated leap,
which is very funny.
Your idea about tho peanut hunt sans
peanut's Is good. For1 April fool favors
take small candy boxes, All them with
chocolate-covered coffee beans. This

AmusinR Children on Stormy Days
MTTTILL not somo of the mothers tell
YV how they amuso tho little ones on
stormy days? As there are so many dif
ferent ways, let us hear from somo of
them. Cutting, pasting and coloring pic
tures in a book amuses the children for
houro and old catalogues will do so long
as they ara neat. I. II."
A sensible suggestion! Mothers may
learn now ways from correspondents of
teaching children how to take care of
themselves. It Is good fpr them no less
tnan ror tho mothers that they should
be taught this early in life. We bhould j
llko to have a symposium upon this mat- j
ter. How do your children, whom youJ
or the nurses are expected or compelled
to take care of when you ought to bo
about more serious matters, behave with
regard to making themselves happy and
leaving you to take needed rest, recrea
tion or occupation that will help mora
people in your world than the little ones?
"A Chincso Love Sonj;"
"I should much appreciate It If you
onuld tell mo where I could find a poem
entitled 'A Chinese Love Song.' I havo
heard it, for It was given at an enter
tainment at our school. As nearly as I
can remember the last line means in Kng
llsh 'Darling, I love you.' Most of the
words were spoken in Chinese, and there
was a piece played upon the piano by
tho speaker while reciting the poem.

First. Use two ounces of chocolate,
two cups of sugar, a teaspoonful of va
nilla extract and tho whites of threo eggs.
Melt tho chocolate In n tiny bit of boiling
water or grate it before you use it, then
place tlio dish In a pun of boiling hot wa
ter and tho chocolate will melt smoothly.
stir in mo stire whites of tho eggs, tho
extract of vanilla, and beat until very.
very light almost stiff enough to stand
alone. Take a silver knife, lay it lint nnd
apply tho Icing to your cake. Let this
dry In tho sun or In tho oven for a few
minutes, then give it a hccond coat.
Second. For white Icing use the whites
of two eggs, two cupq of pulverized sugar
nnd a tablespoonful of lemon juice, orange
juice, essence of rose, elderllowcr water or
anything you fancy for flavoring. Beat
the whites of the eggs, sift In tho sugar,
add the extract ami proceed to beat and
apply as In preceding recipe. If you have
a bit of lemon julco In a cup near tho
placo where you are doing the Icing and
dip your knife In this before you apply
tho Icing, it will have a very high gloss.
Third. Uso teaspoonful of tho extract
preferred or a few drops of the extract
plus sovcral tcaspoonfuls of the fruit
juleo.
Fourth. Uso a pint of fresh sweet
cream, beat till very thick. Add two
ounces of powdered sugar, heat some
more. If you want, add a teaspoonful of
vanilla extract, but bo sure to add It be
foro you whip tho cream.

THE HOME GARDEN FOR
PLEASURE AND PROFIT
By JOHN
Getting the
LEVEL ground, or ground with n slight
J slopo to tho south, is best for tho
homo garden. If tho ground Is not level.
It can bo mado of uniform surfaco by
plowing and hat rowing. In case tho plot
Is largo enough to warrant the use of a
horse, or by spading nnd raking thor
oughly If there Is not room for a plow.
Plowing, wherever feasible, Is the
more desirable, for It saves a good deal
of ono of tho laborious processes of homo
gardening, takes less tlmo at a period
when every ml mi to Is valuable and much
Is to be done, nnd In general expedites
tho work.
A plot 50 by 100 feet will bo plowed
for a couple of dollars.
Doublo plowing Is worth while. Tho
ground is plowed In tho fall In heavy
ridges nnd mnnurc applied. Action of
the elements during winter has a valuable
mechanical effect on the clods, and In addi
tion to this disintegration the nutritious
Ingredients of tho fertilizer have a chance
to enrich the earth by seeping through
during tho altemuto freezes and thaws
of the season. Little of It is lost by
evaporation at this season.
Tho entlro mass Is plowed under In
tho spring opcrntlon, which Is in opposlto
direction to thnt of tho fall. Tho cross
plowing should bo deep enough to turn
down the manure. Tho llrbt plowing
should bo deeper, tho furrow should cut
tho subsoil It possible, to release nutrients
stored in tho earth.
It is too late this year to do more than
tho slnglo fairly deep plowing, and
fine harrowing, with a disc harrow If pos
sible, but the full plowing can bo kept
In mind for next year's garden.i
Be suro that you get n good Job. All
tho shirks and beats aro not In the city,
and it may happen that your man knows
how to cut nnd cover so that tho Job
looks good, but Isn't A fckllful plow
man can take furrows wider than can
bo turned entirely; but ho loses In depth
what he saves in time and gains In
width.

POISON IVY TIME DRAWS NEAR;
VICTIMS WARNED TO BE CAREFUL
By WILLIAM
SOIIH persons aro Immune to tho skin
Irritation and inflammation caused by
poison Ivy. Somo persons aro more
susceptible at one season of tho year
than at another, by reason of tho varying
amount of toxin In the plant.
Poison Ivy (Rhus toxicodendron) and
swamp sumach (Ilhus venenata) and
primrose ara all capablo of causing skin
Inflammation by contact.
Poison Ivy, also called poison oak, Is a
Bhrub from ono to three feet high, or In
some places It Is a woody vine, with long,
three-pointed leaves, downy. Inodorous.
The Bkln Irritation caused by poison
Ivy Is characterized by great swelling
and redness, blebs, and much Irritation and
itching. There may bo pains In tho ab
domen, nausea or diarrhea. Sometimes
feer and pains in the Joints occur.
It the skin Is thoroughly bathed with
soap and hot water immediately after ex
posure tho poisoning may bo prevented. If
Just one spot has been touched by poison
Ivy, It may bo painted with tincture of
iodine, which will destroy the poison. But
this would bo obviously dangerous over a
very largo surfaco. If tho skin is smeared
with some fat or oil before going In the
vicinity of poison ivy. that will protect
against irritation. Since the irritant may
remain in clothing it Is well to change
as soon as possible after exposure.
As a local application for the skin irri
tated or Inflamed by poison Ivy compresses
Wet with a solution of about a pound of
epsom salts In a gallon of water may be
freely applied. This dressing may be kept
up until the inflammation subsides. Then
plain talcum powder is best
The same treatment applies to primrose
or sumach poisoning.
As in most acute skin troubles, catharsis
and a diet limited to milk, rice or other
cereals, dnd bread and butter Is generally
helpful.

By IMOGEN B. OAKLEY
On September 23, ISO I. an ordinance
was approved uhlch makes It unlawful "to
sell or expose for sale at any plnco within
tho city, nny blown, stnlo or unwholcsomo
provisions."
This ordinance, which Is ot vital Im
portance to the public ltealth, Is violated
every day by hundreds of grncra nnd by
pushcart venders without number.
When foodstuffs nro exposed to tlio
dust of our streets, they are soon covered
with all sorts of filth, flics settle on them,
nnd In a very few hours they become
"blown and unwholesome."
Quite recently a chemical analysis was
mado .of the crust of a cake which was
offered for sale by n pushcart vender.
Tho analysis sliowcTl that the person who
would havo eaten tho cake, had It not
fallen Into the hands of the chemist, would
havo consumed nlso tho following deli
cacies: Sand nnd roil dust.
nialntPKNitea brnr. fragments.
Human linlr.
lilts of wool. .... .,
lilts ot cotton nnd ot linen fibre.
Straw, partly illilntesrateil.
lilts of Mftetnlilo mutter, such ni Is found
In Htrcet Hweeplncs.
Cobweb.
lilts of wood nnd paper.
I'artlcleH ot Iron ruft.
This was an exceptionally cood record
for an uncovered cake, for chemists have
found on most of the uncovered food
stuffs bits of tho excreta of dogs and
horses and various unpleasant germs
from tlio sputum which men expectorato
upon the sidewalk In the cxerch-o of whnt
they seem to think tho highest privilege
of American citizenship.
Spring brings with It tho most flagrant
violations of this ordinance, for peri
patetic venders go up nnd down tho streets
selling strawberries that nro conspicu
ously "blown, stale and unwholesome" and
also offensively dirty. I havo seen only
too often a vender sitting on tho edgo
of his pushcart, or on tho curbstono If tlio
cart be lacking, picking tho berries over
with his unwashed hands, and throwing
Into tho street thoso that wero so entirely
decayed that their condition could not be
concealed. TJils absolutely unpardonablo
disregard of tho laws of health and clean
liness goes on all over tho city during tho
berry and fruit season.
Tho street veneers wpo shout and yell
ns they offer their wares break two laws
when their stock In trade consists of
dirty fruit or vegetables; llrst, the city
ordinance which forbids tho sale of stalo
or unwholcsomo food, nnd second, tho act
of Legislature of April 21. 1830, which
declares that "no person with or without
a license" shall sell or offer for salo any
possible kind of merchandise "as a hawker
or peddler," "by outcry," In any part of
this Commonwealth under pennlty of $50
line.
This act of the Legislature has never
been repealed, consequently the shrieking
and howling of street vondera which wake
us In tho morning and assault our weary
ears all day are absolutely against tho
law.
A number of women In a crowded tene
ment district asked me once If fit would
not be possible to silence the shouts ot
the street venders. "They wako up our
babies," their said, "and prevent tho men
who work ut night from getting their
necessary sleep by day." "But you buy
from these venders," I said, 'und how
shall they announco their coming?" "We
will put cards In our windows," they an
swered, "which will let the venders know
as they come along that coal. Ice, fruit or
vegetables are needed. No screaming
will be necessary and our time and the
time of tha venders "will bo saved."
This plan happens to bo -tho very one
resorted to In Boston and other New Kng
land cities where the yelling of street vend
ers Is not tolerated. The Department of
Tubllo Safety knows quite well that vend
ers must conduct their business without
outcries, and a few particularly noisy
venders have been silenced on complaint.
Mr. English, when Director ot Publia
Safety, notified street peddlers that "the
right to sell does not Include the right to
yell." Neither does tho right to sell In
clude the right to offer to a heedless public
dirty and decayed provisions.

salts belong to that
class of compounds
called Inorganic or
Incombustible, which
means that they will

body, as starchy and fatty foods do. llut
although Inorganic salts aro not heat
formors, they have Important functions
in many body processes. They help to
build tho hard and soft tlssuco ot tho
body the musclc3 and tho bony framo

the gastric fluid of tho stomach acid. If
certain combinations
of Inorganic salts

tho muecles of tho
body they would
have no elasticity
nnd would bo unablo

tho organic material of tho body Is In

Certain salts nlso aro required in

The Dye Situation
Another "urging" has been issued to
women throughout tho country to wear
light-colored stockings, now that tho dyo
situation has becoino acute. Manufactur
ers say that It Is only a question of tlmo
before It will be forced upon us to wear
whlto or, at loafjt, light-tinted .hosiery.
Perhaps this explains tho propaganda of
tho all-whito footgear. At any rate, light
stockings aro scnslblo In any circum
stances. Any foot doctor will tell you that the
danger of Infection is lessened about 100
per cent, if tho wenrer has light stockings
on over a corn or foot Injury. Then, too,
light stockings wear better than tho dyed
shades, for tho simplo reason that tho dvo
helps to predispose them to wear out. . So,
If preparedness Is your watchword, when
you chooso your silk hosiery this fceason
let it bo light.
