WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY

From 65 to 75 percent of the Eskimos of the far northwest have died of the Influenza epidemic, according to advices received by a Chicago furrier.

Every new day brings to light the activities of woman in some new and unexpected field. The mose recent discovery of interest is the fact that the country's youngest alienist is a mere girl-as far as years are concerned. She is Miss Mary Frances Martin, twenty-two year old psychologist and expert on feeble-mlndedness. The young woman who. It is claimed, certainly may qualify as the country's youngest brain expert, studied for two years at Leland Stanford University under Dr. Louis N. Terman, who standardized intelligence tests. Then she attended Columbia for two years more. At present she is employed by New York city as an alienist in the school for defectives at Randall's Island. Dr. J. F. Vavasour with whom Miss Martin is associated, believes that her phenomenal rise was due to the unusual advantages of study she enjoyed, especially under Dr. Terman. Miss Martin was "discovered" when she had to testify at a recent supreme court hearing and although the woman lawyer who was conducting the case against her did all Bhe could to prove that the young Callfornlan could not rank as an expert phychologlat she was unsuccessful. Miss Martin testified that she had examined 400 mentally deficient people since her appointment last year. Miss Ida Tarbell, who sailed for France on January 7 to study European conditions, presented a new angle on the "returned soldier" question In a speech made Just before she left. "When the 2,000,000 men from our own country return from Europe we cannot meet them casually and take up the old relations where we left off when they went away," she said. "Instead we will have to try to fathom that experience and take up life again on a new plane."

Mist Mary Frances Martin.

For the women of France and England this readjustment of self will not be so difficult. Miss Tartell believed, because the war has touched them more nearly. It has come into their homes, and from the first they have not been cut off from the men who were going through it. For them, therefore, there is no strange chasm to bridge. But the American women have been entirely cut off from the war, and they have no key to the change that has taken place in the eouls of their men. Therefore it will only be by loving observation and a patient sympathetic, earnest desire to understand that they will be able to attain the plane of the men of their families.
