emert s Lssnus first
Recognized in Fiction
Novel writing was one of (he
first professions (o open its doors to
women. Long before women were
permitted to take up law, medicine
or business careers they won inter
national recognition through prose
fiction, Glen f. Winship, novelist,
told a Chicago meeting of club
women.
“First woman to gain prominence
as a novelist was Jane Porter,
whose hook ‘Tliaddeus of Warsaw,’
published in England in 1803, be
came a best seller of its day. Two
decades after Miss Porter’s success
came the first successful American
woman novelist. She was Catharine
Sedgwick, principal of a young la
dies’ school. Her most noted novel
Redwood,’ publshed anonymous
ly, was originally thought to he the
work of James Fenimore Cooper.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, who fol
lowed Miss Sedgwick, was the first
American woman writer of interna
tional prominence to use her own
name. Success of ‘Uncle Tom’s Cab
in’ demonstrated that readers drew
no sex distinction.
“Success of the early women nov
elists was dearly earned. They had
to break down age-old prejudices
which kept women submerged and
denied them education and social
advantages men only enjoyed. To
day women constitute more than a
third of the successful novelists of
America and England. Moreover,
the percentage is increasing all the
time.”

Straight-Line Frock
and Umbrella Linked
Rani Poiret, the most distin
guished single figure in the fashion
world, who first freed women from
the shackles of the corset and put
her into the free and easy straight-
line frock, started Ids career very
humbly—as an apprentice to an
umbrella maker, points out Bettina
Bedwell in an article in Liberty.
“Perhaps he got his idea of the
straight-line silhouette from the
furled parasols,” Miss Bedwell
writes. “lie used to relieve the tedi
um of deliveries by making sketches
of passing ladies and dressing them
up on paper as he thought they
ought to look, lie sold some of
these sketohes to Worth and Doucet,
but these great dressmakers were
skeptical about his future as a style
creator.
“Later, Poirot’s father managed
to get his sou into Doucet’s estab
lishment as an apprentice,” tho
writer continues. “A few years later
Toiret went on his own. He opened
his salons in the Rue Auber, and it
was here that his fame became as
sured. Later he extended his quar
ters and his reputation.”
Surely Now Beethoven
Can Repose in Peace
Tho first hundred years, even in
Elysium, are tho hardest. Ludwig
von Beethoven died in 1827, and
remained in doubt an to the final
critical judgment of his work until
one night recently when the “Ninth
Symphony” was presented at San
Francisco’s civic auditorium and
the ever-alcrt mayor seized the op
portunity to make a speech and
placed the stamp of his approval
upon the composer.
One can imagine the rejoicing
of Beethoven and his cronies upon
receipt of the news that the emi
nent critic praised “Beethoven’s
sonatas”—to use tho mayor’s exact
words—“as well as his musical
compositions.”
Beethoven always had confidence
in the merit of his sonatas, and
it must be comforting to him to
learn from such a source that his
“musicnl compositions” are also
good.—The Argonaut.
Creditor Took Chance,
and “Hunch** Was Good
Tipped off that a grocer owing
him $400, was going into bank
ruptcy soon after the first of the
year, an Indianapolis wholesaler
demanded payment December 31.
The grocer didn’t have the money.
“Then write me a check and date it
the middle of January when you
will have the money,” the whole
saler suggested. The grocer, know
ing he would be in bankruptcy long
before the middle of the month
and that a predated check is illegal
anyway, complied. January 3, the
grocer was surprised to find the
check for $-100 had been cashed. He
threatened to sue the bank. The
cashier looked up the canceled
check. It was dated “January 15,
1920.” The foxy wholesaler took
a chance on the grocer dating his
check “1920” instead of “1927.” a
common error around the first of
the year. His hunch was good for
$400.—Capper’s Weekly.
Charm Not to Blame
When Clifford Carter was searched
after his arrest in Birmingham,
Ala., his pockets produced a time-
worn rabbit’s foot and a handful of
change. Carter looked disgustedly
at his erstwhile good luck charm.
Then ho counted the change on the
sergeant’s desk. There was just
$13.13. “’S all right,” the prison
er said to his rabbit’s foot. “You
couldn’t beat them figgers. Lock
me up, Mr. Policeman.”
Unique Easter Service
Tho unrecorded dead of caravans
of treasure seekers who fell in the
early days of California while at
tempting to cross Death valley were
honored at Easter services on the
desert. Flowers strewn over the
dunes decorated the tombs of those
who died in the shifting sands,
while on one of the highest mounds
a wooden cross was planted as a me
morial.
Individuality in Feet
Footprints are better than finger
prints or any other scientific meth
od of identification, Dr. Joseph J.
Interland, New York scientist, be
lieves. Every human foot, he de
clares in Popular Science Monthly,
shows unmistakable individuality.
A study of a thousand pairs of feet
has convinced him that their differ
ences are even more striking and
varied than the finger’s loops and
whorls. He is now engaged in
demonstrating his method of “foot
printing” to police officials.
Now the Synthetic House
A synthetic house is manufac
tured in England, made of felt-
lined steel plates on a wooden
frame. Motor trucks carry one of
them from factory to site, where
it is assembled in a few hours. The
steel walls are painted to resemble
brick, or covered with a thin ve
neer of artificial stone to give a
pleasing exterior. Such a house of
the bungalow 'type, with living
room, two bedrooms, kitchenette
and bath, is said to cost onlv
$1,800.
Up From Slavery
Slavery, it was reported the other
day, has been abolished in the state
of Kalat, Beluchistan, a dependency
of India. Slaves are known to have
I n a part of India’s social scheme
as far back as the Sixth century
B C.
Electricity’s Aid Needed
Scientific studies of the stars
with giant telescopes would be near
ly impossible without electric mo
tors. At the Dominion Astrophysi-
cal observatory just outside of
Vancouver, ~B. C., for instance, a
72-inch telescope weighing 55 tons
is revolved and adjusted to finest
settings by several motors running
silently at the touch of a series of
push buttons which the observer
carries at his belt.
Hefty Collection
The five largest members of the
new Fat Men’s club in Berlin boast
an aggregate weight of more than
a ton. A minimum weight of 350
pounds is required for membership
and the weightiest member passes
this mark by 84 pounds.
China Sending Irish
Lace to This Country
Mlien tho feminine bargain
shark lights on a counter of Irish
lace edging at 12 cents a yard, she
should turn her whoop of joy into
a vote of thanks to the missionaries
who taught Chineso women how to
crochet.
Lace making has become a Chi
nese home industry of considerable
importance,' according to figures
just issued by the United States
Department of Commerce. The
customs returns show lace exports
amounting to more than $4,000,-
000, and this probably docs not
cover the entire quaitity.
Tho Irish lace industry was in
troduced into Swatow as recently
as 1920 and it is said that the laces
produced are equal, if not superior,
to those originally made in Ire
land. In several cities around
Shanghai the skillful fingers of
many Chinese women and girls are
busy making filet lace destined
eventually to decorate the silken
lingerie of their occidental sisters.
The low cost of Chinese labor
makes tho retail price, even with
the high tariff, much cheaper than
the handmade laces of Europe,-—
Kansas City Star.
Girl Might Have Made
Less Hard Comparison
War Secretary Davis said at a re
ception, apropos of his recent state
ment that in 24 hours America
could mobilize an army of 4,000,-
000 men and put all her factories
on war work:
“But let’s hope there’s to bo no
more war. We can do away with
gas and submarines, but war will
still be cruel. Yes, to win a mod
ern war you’ve got to be crueller
than the girl who was proposed to
by tho young epic poet.
“ ‘IIow much do you make,
Homer,’ she asked him, ‘out of all
this epic poetry business?’
“‘Well,’ said Homer, ‘I only
made $205 last year, but there are
other things in life besides money,
darling.’
“The girl laughed harshly.
“ ‘Yes, Homer, there are,’ she
said. ‘For instance there’s the poor-
house.’ ”
The Funny Part
“Queer thing happened at the
Oriental Grotto movie palace last
night,” said the landlord of the
1’etuBia tavern. “In the middle of
the slio'w the lights went out and
didn’t come on again for half an
hour.”
“What was strange about that?”
asked a guest.
“Why, all the time the house was
dark no little boy kissed the back
of his hand or uttered cat-calls and
no grown-up lout made a fool of
himself by hollering silly witti
cisms,”—Kansas City Star.
New Newsprint Source
The United States Department
of Agriculture has announced the
development of a new process for
making newsprint paper from
hardwoods. It is believed the proc
ess will assist materially in con
tinuing the newsprint supply from
aspen and birch and possibly maple
in the northeastern region and in
development of a newsprint indus
try in southern states from gum-
wood.
Not So Many Skyscrapers
Though New York may appear
to be full of skyscrapers, only twe
per cent of the 97,000 buildings in
Manhattan may be classed as sky
scrapers, according to Thomas
Hastings, New York architect,
writing in Forum.
Canal Children Taught
A school for children of canal
boatmen is maintained in London,
England. Attendance ranges from
thirteen to forty, and the school is
the smallest conducted by the Lon
don County council.
Yoscmitc Park Lake
Gradually Filling Up
Beautiful Mirror lake, in Yosem-
ito National park, will bo a thing
of the past by 1935 or 1940, at the
present rale of shrinkage. So
states Dr. F. E. Mutthcs, a geolo
gist of tho United States geological
survey and an authority ion tho
Yoscmitc. Scientists assert that
Mirror lake h comparatively young
from a geologic standpoint, having
been formed after tho close of the
glacial epoch, presumably only a
few thousand years ago. For cen
turies it has been shrinking gnulu- j
ally from its original size of nearly
a mile in length until now it is only
a small lake. Sand and silt from
Tenaya creek and Snow creek have
come into it annually, forming n
delta at its head which grows per
ceptibly each year. In the. last
fourteen years measurements show
that the lake lias been reduced
nearly one-half in area, and at this
rate in another fifteen or twenty
years it will be uo more. At one
time Yosemite valley itself was a
great lake basin. By the same
process that is now filling Mirror
lake, tho great basin was trans
formed into the level expanses of
meadowland which now floor the
valley.

Scientific Possibilities
Col. E. Lester Jones, director of
the coast and geodetic survey, says
that the possibility of predicting
earthquakes accurately is extremely
remote. However, when any na
tural peril is understood, protection
becomes largely an engineering
problem, and such problems can
be solved. Natural phenomena may
not be subject to human control,
but their disastrous effects can be
minimized by taking protective
measures based on careful scientific
research.

Mrs. Stringer had wounds all over

He Had Nothing to Say
A coed motorist headed a line
of twenty University of Minnesota
students that filed into traffics court
to pay fines for parking violations.
When the young woman was asked
by an official what her instructor
would say if he knew she was in
police headquarters paying a fine
for violating an ordinance, the coed
replied: “I guess he wouldn’t say a
tiling. He’s standing in line right
back of me with a tag himself.”
