We are glad to say they have got the church yard cleaned off and hope they will soon have the new church started. “1 can lick anybody in this room!" the Irishman cried, but nobody noticed him. “I can lick anybody in this town!" he shouted. Still no response. “I can lick anybody in the United States," he roared. And then some¬ body wiped the floor with him and threw him into the street. ‘‘The trouble was.” said Pat when he came to, “that T tried to cover too much territory.” ELINOR GLYN I OR .MALE New York—This philosophy will strangely on the ears of American men: “A man should do what he and a woman should so shape her as to be of greatest help to him. so high as he climbs, she has him. And just so low as he falls, has degraded him.” Elinor Glyn, celebrated writer, ad¬ vances the teaching. Just arrived Hollywood, California’s moving pic¬ ture colony, the author of “Three Weeks” was found at the Plaza Hotel and there induced to'give her impres¬ sions of American life, seeing it after an absence of thirtgyn years. She sail: “Your women are no freer than En¬ glish women, though they talk more about it. They are not near so free as French women, who are the freest of all, who absolutely control their men by their clever psychology. Ah. French women are wonderful! She Loves Men. ' I am a staunch supporter of tin¬ men. I love men. They are line, splen¬ did. noble, with large minds and large hearts. It exasperates me to see frilly, brainless women demanding that their husbands* devote themselves exclusive¬ ly to finding amusements for them. “What if the women have minds? Then they should have their careers. I think in such a case the husban 1 ami wife should determine whose tal¬ ent is the greater and unite in advanc¬ ing the one best qualified to advance. “If each pursues his own career? Then I think life under the same roof would be very difficult. Careers and domesticity do not harmonize, do you think? “I have told some of my ideas in an article soon to appear in the Cosmo¬ politan Magazine. 1 am old-fashioned in my belief of the importance of man¬ ners, because I think true manners come from the heart and are not su perficial. But I am also a great be¬ liever In freedom. Hollywood Girls Dear. “In Hollywood, where I spent almost eleven months, 1 was struck with the earnestness of the little colony. The girls were dear, helpful, very sweet to me. And the men were lovely. I danc¬ ed with many young enough to be my sons—took up dancing after ten years, think of it! But all that I saw of the life of Hollywood was irreproachable. “1 shall sail for England soon, and will be back some time in January. I hope some day to see my “Three Weeks” on the screen, but not until the censors are a little kinder. 1 want it to be exactly as I have written it.” CAR TROUBLES A LA LONGFELLOW The Kansas City Times thinks that this, from the Cameron News-Observ¬ er, “should bring tears of recollection to the eyes of almost any morotrist." “Under the spreading chestnut tree a stubborn auto stands, and Smith, an angry man is he, with trouble on his hands. He cusses softly to himself, and cra\vls beneath the car, and won¬ ders why it din't burst before lie got so far. The earburator seems to the cause of all his woe. He half a dozen bolts, but still it go. And then he ti^es the gears, but finds no trouble there, un¬ til wet with perspiration, then quits in sheer despair. He squats hind the road to give his brain chance to cool, and ponders on training in a correspondence and then he starts the job once until be chance he’s seen the cause all his trouble—he’s out of “MOTOR FOOT” DISEASE NEWEST THING Atlanta, Ga.—A new disease been discovered, according to automobile- men.

Officials of ?lie United States De¬ partment of Agriculture are alarmed over the threatened extermination fif the Elk herd in Yellowstone park. On the ranges of the park, where ordi¬ narily thousands of iliese animals could be seen, only a very few have been observed this winter. Several theories have been offered to account lor the marked shrinkage in the herd. Among these is the probability that the majority died from natural causes or had been killed during the last tear. Another is that the open fall and winter caused the elk to remain in hiding In some retreat deep in the mountains and in the higher and more inaccessible portions of the park. Open falls in the past, however, have not caused the elk to abandon tlieir usual customs and habits. That there has been an alarming shrinkage In the Yellowstone herd dur¬ ing the last five years is an estab¬ lished fact, according to figures sup¬ plied by the Department of Agricul¬ ture. In 1914 it was estimated at about *25.000; in 1917, 17*00 were counted, and, if the figures^ for the present year, estimated by those close in touch with the situation, are true, there remains much less than half this number. In 1919, 3,800 head were killed in the Yellowstone hand, the su¬ pervisor of the Absaroka national forest reports. The Department of Agriculture points out that no herd of wild ani¬ mals can sustain an annual shrink¬ age in numbers for any length of time and not face complete extermination within a few years. DENIES WOMAN IS MYSTERY Man Is Puzzling Himself for Nothing, Is Assertion Made by Writer of Gentle Sex. After declaring to the reporters who met him in New York that the women of today care for nothing but having a good time and have assumed an atti¬ tude of pagan enjoyment, the English essayist, Gilbert K. Chesterton, is re¬ ported as moving majestically along ihe pier shaking hands with the cus¬ tom officers and leaving Mrs. Chester¬ ton to see about Ihe baggage. "My wife understands these things; I don’t,” he said, with a sweep of his stick. It is evident from the report that, although woman may have changed much since before the war, as Mr. Chesterton says, some of the oldtime masculine attitude toward them re-’ mains. May Stranathan writes in the Pittsburgh Dispatch. In further proof of this, the Englishman goes on to speak In the same old v prewar way about the psychology of women, using the familiar words, “1 speak reverent¬ ly as of a mystery, for a man never knows what a woman will do,” and then he tells how she will act under certain circumstances. The mystery about It is not In the psychology of woman, but in the fact that, having supposed that a woman would act in the way most natural to all humanity, he thinks it is mysteri¬ ous because a .woman does it. He describes a man as likely to act the same way under similar circum¬ stances, hut does not see any mys¬ tery in the masculine point of view. Hear Heart Yards Away. An amplifying apparatus described us so delicate as to permit a physician In one city to make a stethoscopic study of the heart action of a patient hundreds of miles away, was demon¬ strated to a group of army and civil¬ ian medical men at the army signal corps laboratories at Washington. The principle involved is similar to tliut used In transmitting President Hard¬ ing’s inaugural address. The demonstration was directed by Brig. Gen. George Squier, chief signal officer. The stethoscopic apparatus, with electrical connection, was placed over the heart of one of the laboratory assistants and the heart beat was am plirted many thousands of times, emerging from a phonograph horn and heard distinctly and studied by the physicians In a room some distance from that in which the subject was located. Making of a Language. That the slang and Idioms of today will be correct English tomorrow is the opinion of Prof. II. Glieksman of the English department, University of Wisconsin. “Our language is made up of what was once slang, idiom, col¬ loquialism and jargon,” he stthl lately, and warned tlmi the only deplorable feature about slang was it* tendency to produce mental slovenliness. Pro¬ fessor Glieksman then referred to the word “mob” as slang of 200 years ago and as such denounced in the ”Spec tator” by Addison. “It is an abbrevi¬ ation of the word ‘mobile.’ Even so the word ‘pep’ is vital und virile and will survive with the word ’snappy.’ But to gain recognition slang must be free from vulgarity and cheapness,” said Professor Glieksman.

During this period, nature is supposed to be preparing the internal organism of a woman for a safe and speedy delivery; but it is more the exception than the rule when nature, unaided, performs her part at the crisis in a manner to relieve pain and contribute to comfort. “I was afraid,” writes a prospective mother, “until dti experienced mother told me about Mother’s Friend," “—but now l cannot recommend Mother's Friend loo highly for 1 know it helped me wonderfully, and I an almost say my baby was bom without pain. At tht present time I am using it again, as I do not want to go thru the ordeal without it.” Three gencr" ‘'ons of prospective mothers have used Mother’s 1- c.end. When gently applied, during the period of expectancy, it soothes the fine net-work ot nerves, lubricates the broad, flat, abdominal musdes and prepares the way for an easier, quicker and practical delivery.
