Male Critic Severe on Work of Women Poets If an effort were made to determine What elements constitute feminine poetry, one would name first Its chief characteristic — subjectivity. When a woman writes poetry her emotions generally center around herself and she Is only Interested In the world as something that reflects favorably or unfavorably on her own individuality. It is usually favorable and when unfavorable, walllngly agonised, writes Herbert G. Brunt hen, In the North American Review. As an artist It Is rarely that a woman can translate her emotions objectively ; In other words to comprehend the world and the human beings that are part of it. not as they touch herself, but as they affect the great lot of humanity. Feminine poetry, moreover, when it is cheerful. Is generally so In a superficial way; it Is too often ovt>r-reflned through an erroneous and typically feminine conception of the difference between refinement and truth, ft Is embroidery poetry, very apt to be sentimental and cloylngly sweet. ' And only In rare Instances does one find a poem written by a woman where the unpleasantness and even tragic .truths of human relationships have not been carefully censored or glossed •ver. I Cultivate Serenity to Fight Mental Fatigue Mental fatigue cuts down efficiency and spoils happiness. American life with its high-power speed for both work and play produces an unusual amount of mental fatigue. To aid in the cultivation of more serene habits, ,Dr. Lauren IL Smith, writing In .Hygeia Magazine, makes the followilng sugestions: L When we work, let us keep our Interest In it and make It pleasurable. 2. When we play, let us enter into 'lt for all It Is worth without regard for anything else. 3. When we rest and sleep, let us turn the mind and body loose to them, selves and let them do what they will. Learn to rest the mind by leaving the mind alone. 4. When we think, let ns make a decision and carry ft out. If we decide incorrectly ft can be reconsidered later. 5. When we are very tired, let ns not permit a temporary or extreme emotional reaction to drive ns Into an ,act that will have permanent results

Nation’s Honey Production In the United States the greater part of the honey produced is alfalfa honey from the western states, where several million dollars' worth Is sold every year. Sweet clover, white sage and other mountain flowers, also con'tribute to the western supply. In the central states it Is white clover, sweet clover, Spanish needle and heartsease I honey. In the southern states, cotton, mesquite, horsemint and sweet clover, and in the eastern states, northern states and Canada, buckwheat and white clover are the leading honey flowers. Orange blossoms, cleome. aster and basswood complete the list. Easy to Don Coat Two men were chatting. “Why Is ft that Greeks and Italians can get Into a coat easier than anyone else?” asked one. ”1 don’t know.” replied the careful one. “Did you ever notice the 'graceful overhead sweep of their arms as they slip on the coat with one complete motion?" queried the first speaker. The other admitted that he had noticed the phenomenon In question. “It’s because their Roman and Grecian ancestors used that method In slipping on their togas and they haven’t gotten over the idea.” asserted Speaker No. I.—Detroit News. Ladies of Long Ago The ladies to whom the troubadours sang had Invariably hair of the color of flax, as soft as silk, and shimmering with a sheen of the finest gold. In ancient Spanish romances the hair Is either of pure gold, or definitely fair. In ancient Germany, Gretchen had to have “fair hair, like gold; long, bright, and curly.” There Is a famous ( description of n French lady of the Thirteenth century. “Her hair had the brilliance of gold, and was twisted Into rebellious curls’’—so evidently permanent waving was known. ■ Tomahawk Not Indian The tomahawk, which is sometimes considered a weapon peculiar to the • American Indian, was originally a club I carved Into some convenient shape. It was most commonly a stout stick about three feet in length, terminating in a large knob, wherein a projecting piece lof flint was often inserted. The hatchets of the Indians that are now called tomahawks are a European device and the stone hatchets so often found In our fields, called by the same term, i were not military weapons but me--1 chanlcal tools. • Gas Freeaes Fira Carbon dioxide, which is expefed ' from your body whenever you exhale, I has been put to use by the Los An'geles fire department to put out fires i in which streams of water are of little use, as in chemical and oil fires. The gas’ is carried in high pressure cylinders and when released a cloud of dry lice like that used in certain kinds of refrigeration is squirted over the fire. iThla reduces the temperature and prevents oxygen from reaching the blaze, thus smothering ft

Souvenirs From Garden of Eden for Tourists If, on your vacation you happen to Stumble Into the town of Qurnu at the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers you may not he impressed by the scenery or the city but you will soon be Informed that It Is the site , of the Garden of Eden and to prove it you will be shown the "Tree of , Knowledge,” says a writer In the Washington Star. The tree is merely , a decayed trunk with a few scraggly , branches and these will soon be out of i business, but the natives have thought- , fully planted another tree nearby and I this baby will probably do service as i "the tree” when the older one has de--1 parted. Anyone visiting thia locality It pre(Burned to have come to see the tree, i for there Is little else, and the chll.dren of the town are eager In their efforts to act as guides to visitors. The new arrival is at once spotted and surrounded by the Juvenile guides and jalmost dragged to the tree. Arriving ,on the ground the hoys will bound tn. (to the branches and offer chips as tsouvenirs. I Just Another Example of Unrewarded Genius . Mankin. has a habit of Ignoring its benefactors and allowing its geniuses •o die In want Benjamin Dancer, who [died in poverty and blindness tn 1887, IS a case in point Dancer, whose (name Is practically unknown, would, if be could survey the world, see one 'of his Inventions used untold millions .of times daily. Every time a button Is pushed to (ring a bell and the ringing stops when •the pressure Is released. It Is time to ring up one more for Dancer. He In'vented the spring electrical contact ! interrupter, which Is the basis of all push buttons. This device was also (used for years on automobiles and X'ray machines. He Invented the porous cup used ,for years in wet batteries. Among other things he Invented were various appliances for research work by sclen(tlsts. Polish Mourning Traditions Polish tradition is very strict as regards mourning, at least In the case of women. Mourning is signified above all by a black hat and veil. In the (bard postwar years poverty compelled opinion to accept any dark-colored dress and coat, even at the funeral Itself. The hat and veil are worn, not only by women but also by girls of all ages from ten upward. It Is quite common to see a schoolgirl running about with a veil trailing behind her such as only an old-fashioned widow would wear in western Europe or America. This custom does not affect working . women, since they rarely wear hats, but only shawls over their heads. Burbot May Oust Codfish The nearest fresh water relative of the cod. the burbot fish, may strip its kin of honors in producing medicinally valuable oil. Scientific experiments, reported to the bureau of fisheries, have demonstrated that burbot liver oil Is eight : times as potent as cod liver oil In the treatment of rickets. The burbot. Inhabiting the Great lakes and considered a pest by fishermen because It tears their nets and ; preys on small fry, may become a significant part of the commercial catch, it Is believed. The annual catch of the fish, known also as lawyer or eel pout, was 510,972 pounds In 1927.

Cigarette Statistics The United States Department of Agriculture says that burned or burning cigarettes are discarded in the United States at the rate of 170.000 a minute, or $90,000,000,000 a year, ignition te t made with pads of dry grass showed that a burning cigarette butt would start a fire In 90 per cent of the cases with a wind velocity of three to four miies an hour. Tlie cigarette is one of the greatest fire hazards the forester knows. A trifling fraction of the enormous number of butts iiscarded is enough to do fmmeasureable fire damage in forests, wood lands and grass lands. Hunters in Red at Funeral Hunting horses and mourners in hunting costume attended the funeral' ,ot Mrs. Anna Isabel Jones, a member of the Quorn Hunt club, at Giadenys, Wales, recently. Complying with her request that there be no indications of mourning, the corpse was dressed In her riding habit and reposed in a Russian casket of polished wood. The hearse was a hay cart, painted red, the estate colors, and covered with, moss. Mrs. Jones’ two favorite hunters were attended by a groom In red hunting costume. Burial was in a wild and isolated place on a mountain side. Decatur’s Schooldays The dashing Decatur who humbled the proud dey of Algiers, and after whom so many New York boys were named when he was in the zenith of. his naval glory, lived in Powder Mill lane and went to school at the Lower Dublin academy In Holmesburg, Pa. For all its pretentious name the "academy” was a small log and stone structure with only two front windows and a shingled root Stephen Decatur lid not take kindly to study, but he is said to have carved his name on every desk in um school room.— ■New York Times.

MINISTERS PRAY FOR TEXAS TOWN ■ '-I »■ > Conference Meeting Held In Border As Rangers Patrol Streets Borger, Tex., Oct. 2—(U.R) layers for Borger, so corrupt its streets are patrolled by soldiers enforcing martial law, were uttered today by 100 Methodist ministers, gathered here for the conference of the Amarillo District of Methodist churches. The Rev. Guy W. Green, evangelist whose Gosple Temple here sometimes attracted a scattering few away from the town’s liquor and gambling places, led the prayers. In the town hall nearby sat Brig. Gen. Jacob F. Wolters. He had marched into the town with a column of militiamen, disarmed its officers and set up a military court. A line of witnesses and prisoners came before that court, some voluntarily, others in custody of soldiers and Texas rangers. They told the town’s history as a frontier settlement in which sudden wealth from oil brought exploiters and adventurers who preyed on that wealth through gambling halls and bar rooms. They told of protection money paid to officers and murders unpunished. District Attorney John A. Holmes has attempted to enforce the law, He had worked alone. He was shot in the dark just before his evidence was to be presented to a grand jury. “My soldiers will patrol these streets until the murderer of John A. Holmee is punished,” the general said. More than 50 persons had passed through the military court Their stories were being patterned together into a smashing indictment against all who took corruption money in Borger and all who paid it. Padlocks hung from many doors which in the past had answered to the push of men of unsteady gait. Soldiers greeted the visiting preachers. There was a relaxing of nervous tension. The roster of the Rev. Greenes Gospel Temple had almost doubled in numbers. Rangers said there had been a migration of gambling and liquor operatives. o Chances For Suspended Sentence Are Remote Indianapolis. Oct. 2. —(U.R) —Former Mayor John L. Duvall’s chances of escaping the 30-day jail sentence and SI,OOO fine imposed for violating the corrupt practices act in the 1929 Indianapolis municipal campaign dwindI led today when the Indiana appellate court denied him a rehearing. This left open, it was believed, two remote possibilities of Duvall's escaping the penalty imposed upon him by special criminal Judge Cassius C. Shirley, Nov. 9. 1927. 1— Possibility of the state supreme court’s granting Duvall's petition for a writ of certiorari returning his appeal to the supreme court from which it was transferred to the appellate court March 14, 1929, under provisions of a 1929 act. 2 — Possibility of a new petition be-
