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

an angry man is he, with trouble on

training in a correspondence
and then he starts the job once

FEAR LOSS OF ELK HER93
Animals In Yellowstone Park Are Rap¬
idly Disappearing, According to
Official Reports.
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.
Lymph for Infectious Fevers.
Dr. Artault de Vevey told the So
ciete de Therapeutique of Paris at a
recent meeting tliut iie had had great
success In treating nearly a thousand
cases of Infectious diseases such as
influenza und puerperal fever bj in¬
jecting the patient with his own
lymph drawn from u blister, lie had
also succeeded with it in rheumatism,
cholera, facial neuralgia, appendicitis
god other such troubles.

Nature's Evolution birth baby ii
Of all the vital adventures in life, the of a
the climax of nature’s most wonderful evolution.
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.
