Men, who have always had more to do with machinery than have women and children, na- turally feel an intimacy with a locomotive or automobile with which they have become me- chanically acquainted. Automobiles are known by name, and regretted like a member of the family when they are sold or traded-in, or de- molished by accident. That famous "we"--Colonel Lindbergh and the Spirit of St. Louis--admirably illustrates the point. To speak of his plane as "it! would hurt the young adventurer as much as it would hurt a young mother to refer to her first born in that manner. .

The human foot, they say, is not t it was nineteen years ago, before shoes invented, Today it moves on toward the ormal with accelerated speed. This might be startling information to fem- ngly discovered by archaeologists excavat- k in ruins at Ur, The diggers unearthed a 'Hoilet set consisting of a lotus-shaped mirror handle, a powder box, a paint pot and an ex- ceedingly beautiful ivory comb. Now it isa fair presumption that, if the ladies two thousand years before Abraham had ivéipity cases, they also went in for high: heels; the threat of toelessness has not yet been translated into fact. nfirmation of this hypothesis about Ur would seem to be supplied by observation of Tsgiah, Along with his disapproval of prevail- 'ing fashions of anklets, crescents, pendants, bracelets, head-tires, ankle chains, sashes, per- fume boxes, nose jewels, satchels and hand mir- rors, he:made special mention of the daughters of Zion walking and "mincing" and making a tinkling with their feet. Certainly that is a graphic description of the way women walk on heels. seems that if the feminine foot were chang- ing form it would be self-evident after all these years. That there is no such evidence is good assurance that the foot will remain a foot. Ope reason may be that in the course of years a normal balance is struck. Fashion is the great adjuster. One year high heels are the vogue, then follows a year of low heels. ", THE GROPING CHINESE ¢ Po oeccidentals the most important, as it is ae the most puzzling, question in China is the true nature of the nationalist movement. {It would ease the foreign mind to know whether it bodes good or evil for China. "The movement seems to have spread its doc- trines through most of the educated minority. ts influence among the masses of the treaty ports in south and central China is great. The ontside world is told that it represents a great national awakening and uprising; that it will shortly eontrol the country, and that its mili- tary victories represent something new, some- thing fundamentally better and other than the dreary personal wars which have soaked the ast fifteen years of Chinese history in suffer- ing.and blood. But are these the facts in the case? The ansWer seems to be, as the answer always is with China, both yes and no. The nationalist y was organized after the Boxer rebellion, Western revolutionary technique and régruited those Chinese who had brought back from foreign countries badly digested ideas of and Western culture. It professes a desire to see China self-governing, independent of other nations, progressive aceording to oeci- déntal standards and a united, peaceful country, How and when the vague principles of the can be translated into a practical of governmental reform is beyond sediction.

THE URGE TO BE DUPED. ! ~~ Within the last few weeks how many pulses have throbbed at the miracles of science, and how many have responded to the dazzling suc- cession of vast fortunes that have been, or al- most been, inherited by Beligan peasant girls, German servant maids and penniless Ameri- cans? It is a safe guess that more people have thrilled to the unexpected showers of gold than te the triumphs of science. The old romance of Dame Fortune is still more interesting and soul-stirring than the new romance of science, Along with the dream legacies in the news appear authentic tales of wealth found and inherited. But the real bo- nanazas are never half so exciting as the other kind. A half million of Captain Kidd's buried gold is more entrancing than ten million real dollars made in business. The pubic gets more thrill out of the finding of a few dollars in an old shoe than from the story of Henry Ford's rise to fortune. Front page space in the newspapers always will be at the command of tales about Weepah gold nuggets, fortune-winning lottery tickets, clerks. who break the bank at Monte Carlo, for- tunes inherited by poor relatives and faithful servants, and discoveries of buried treasure. It seems to require less high-pressure sales- manship. to talk people into investing their savings in "Spanish prisoner" and "heart of Manhattan" claims than in the most promising business enterprises. For decades people have been duped by swindles of the "Baker Estate" sort, and will be for many decades to come. Despite science and economics, humanity re- mains primitively romantic and gullible. EDITORIAL NOTES Hunt the brighter side. The present never lasts. As often as one gets something for nothing one gets nothing for something. Nothing makes a girl laugh at a joke like pretty front teeth. The man who knows it all never tires of try- ing to put others wise. Another useless article is the sweat hand in a cake-eater's hat. Being poor is no disgrace; but soon becomes very monotonous. Sometimes wisdom comes with years and sometimes the years come alone. Two things a woman never can get off right are funny stories and street cars. Marriage seems to be one thing that is not likely. to be taken too seriously. | Bit of Verse THE DAGUERREOTYPE An oval case Of dark blue velvet, old; '| He also announced that the hese homes and of educating the or hans is about $500,000 annually." This is a summary of the activity of the Pythian Order read before the ocal lodge at a recent meeting by H. J. Ogden, keeper of records and ieal. The report was issued by the supreme Lodge as an educational bul etin ta: give members of the Orde: 1 definite knowledge of the extent of this department of Pythian activity hese homes are located in eighteen states and during July and Augus hundreds of thousands of Pythian and their families will visit thes homes. During August two large homes located in Indiana and Minne sota will be dedicated and a half mil lion dollar unit will be completed at the home in California. "The care of our aged and orphaned is the outstanding achievement of the Pythian Order," according to Chan cellor Commander F., McLaughlin "Two departments of the Order's ac tivity direct the work in this endea vor. Our homes are shrines of Pyth ian devotion where the aged finds pro tection and the child is given the car of home when a tragedy crosses it pathway. Pythian investment in thi welfare work, while but a part of the Order's objective, has assumed propor tions of great importance in what i being wrought for human welfare. "The other auxiliary devoted to th: care of the Pythian family is its In | surance Department which has recently announced free medical examination for all members and their families The Department maintains a medica' staff and a large laboratory for thi service. No attempt is made to trea lisease, the object being to detect any lurking malady by laboratory tests se that the member or any of his famils may go to a physician in time to ar rest the disorder before it is too lat for a corrective measure. For a num ber of years the Department has oper ated a laboratory health test for the members of the Department.

"Both in Changsha and Hankow, husbands 'are complaining that they are no longer able to control their wives," says one report, "and there have been cases where women tyran- nized over their men. Cases of di- voree are increasing and in most cases the courts decided in favor of the wo- men.'

This is a question that puzzles many Fhousands of accidents are directly traceable to passing cars, and yet there wre more accidents resulting from not passing cars when there is every rea- son why one should. Even the fumes from the exhaust of a worn or overoiled engine may be : menace to life and property. Any driv er is justified in trying to get ahead of such a highway annoyance that he may breath fresh air, be able to kee his mind clear and improve his visi bility. It is a good rule never to follow a car that has no stop-light signal or whose driver does not use signals. It is bad policy to follow cars with license plates of other provinces or States. Strangers may not know where they are going. They are apt to stoj suddenly or deliberate at crossings. It is safer to let them follow. Cars that are weak on hills are poor leaders. Their drivers will try to force their engines up in high gear When the shift comes there is likely to be a stalling. Even going uphill it is not always an easy matter to stop short, particularly if there are other cars coming down the hill and no pos- sible escape by passing around the stalling car at the last moment. There are times when passing can be an absolute move for safety and when no driver is justified in trailing behind.
