SATUKDAY, NOVEMBER 9 “History Proves Women Men’s Mental Equals,” Says College Professor Prof. Horace A, Hollister of the University of Illinois, in His Book “The Woman Citizen,” Names Scores of Women Who, | by Their Brilliant Mental Achievements, Have Helped| Make History—A History Which, He Argues,| Should Therefore Now Be Rewritten From the Woman’s Point of View. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall A fresh contribution to thie animated and Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Brening World.) A RE women the mental equals of men? erending dis-! cussion—not even the triumph of Woman Suffrage or the splendid be found in a new for its intelligent Prof. Holister’s arguments for fem- inine distinction in science, inven- tion, music, literature, the arts, are essentially informative. He does not content himself with the impassioned assertion that women are as great as men. He produces a golden roll of women of intellectual achievement— often attained in those very fields about which men have tried to build the highest fences, “Woman has not the acientitic mind.” ‘That is the commonest charge by those who believe that, intel tually speaking, she is a non-essen- tial. First among great women scien- tists Prof. Hollister names Mme. Cu- rie, who, working with her husband, was nevertheles “prime mover” in the discovery of radium and the firat woman to recelve an invitation to lee- ture at the Sorbonne. But there are others, “In America,” he writes, “Mra. Ellen H. Richards entered the field of chem- ical research in the latter part of the nineteenth century, It was she who first established courses in sanitary chemistry. This was im the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology. She also made the first application of chem- istry to the science of nutrition and the'study of foods. s early as the middie of the eighteenth century there appeared at Bologna a woman learned in human anatomy, This was Anna Morandi Manzolini. It was she who first made /natomical models for the purpose of emonstrating in connection with her lectures on this subject. A century earlier, in France, the Earoness de Beausoleil had become noted for her studies in mineralogy. About the same time Maria sibylla Merian of Germany was pursuing her special study of plants and insé s, @ work which 7on- tributed much ¢f value to biological science.” In astronomy and in the exact science of mathematics women have won laurels, One of the most remark- Mary it them surely wi . ¢ Aus- Persie oe geuant, asioaceae | Ge veagha Hyatt The Red Cross Now as Busy Preparing for Peace as They Have Been Attending to War Pr agg a thine kg a9 hysicist.

Hollister, Professor of Education at the University of llinols, “The Woman Citizen” is @ book whieh all women will want to read, problems and possibilities of the woman of to-day iu the home, in society, in business, in politica. Ae Prof. Hollister points out, history, current and ancient, needs to be rewritten from the woman's point of view, giving her a place in the sun of national development, But there are no pages in “The Woman Citizen” more interesting than those Which put the case for women’s brains, women’s genius, and answer with an emphatic affirm. ative the question of the mental equality of men and women. vook, “The Woman Citizen,” written and ajl men citizens ought to read. and fair-minded presentation of the care to do so, is proved by the rec- ords, “We find," writes Prof. Hollister, “that the first patent issued to a woman in the United States was to Mary Kies in the year 1809. The first Government report of the United States Patent Office, published in 1888, credited women with nearly one} thousand inventions. Nor were these inventions limited to affairs wholly feminine. Many of them are of prime importance to manufacturing indus- tries and to commerce and transpor- tation.” ‘The world is fairly willing to con- cede women's distinction in the arts of singing, acting and writing. But 1s it genorally understood, as the author! of “The Woman Citizen" points out, that women were the first decorative, artists, that the hande of primitive woman were the first to beautify Pottery and tapestry? He observes, truly enough, that “men seem to have taken it for granted that nothing really great in art could come from women. They simply have been un- able to apply any except what they have considered peculiarly masculine qualities in their estimation of artistic Productions. Nevertheless, the most famous pas- tellist among the great Italian paint- ers was Rosalba Carriera. “In the French schools appear such names as Mme. Vigee Le Brun, Mme. Guyard, Mme. Filleul, and Rosa Bonheur. Great Britain has given to art such names among women as Catherine Read, Angelica Kauffman, Anna Alma-Tadema and Eleanor Brickdale, In the United States fffay well be mentioned Mary Casaatt, Cecilia Beaux, Mrs. Merritt, Helen Hyde, Cornelia W. Conant and Jennie Brownscombe.”* There is also a notable group of American women who have won di: tinction in sculpture, They include Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, Janet Scudder, Edith Woodman Burroughs, Evelyn Longman, Edith Baretto Par.

HE breezes that send the autumn leaves scattering will also send fluttering milady’s long scarf ends, for the scarf is one of this @utumn’s most favored whims. It is often made a legitimate part of a comfortable top coat or sult, but more frequently it is a separate affair that is thrown about the shoulders or huddled around the neck. Soft, warm materials such as velour, camel's hair, tweed, duvetyn and velveteen are the materials employed, and they are manipulated in odd ways with many individual ideas expressed in their trimming. The usual thing is to repeat the trimming and the material on a hat or a bag to accompany the scarf. Two attractive sets of such a character I have designed here, sug- gesting interesting uses of colored worsted.

Naturally I have those things on my mind all the time. Sometiines between curries I long for the good old days when | didn't have anything on my mind but my hat. We have been getting it pretty tough lately in math quizzes, and say, Brighteyes, when you get tangled up in a firing problem you bestn to realize what a terrible war this is, I don’t know any more about mathematica than an armadillo does about player pianos, and @ quizs gets me diazier than a lot of birds trying to play poker with # pinochle deck. Lemme buzz you, when I come out from one of those quigses T am staggering like a bear with two legs. I have actually got a quiz jag on, And don't let ‘em tell you different. Outside of the exams, I have been stepping off pretty well, Only got six demerits for having mud on my boots. We are figating for our country, but you aren't allowed ‘to have any of it on your brogans. Also inherited a complete set of Diack and blue marks for having my new army overcoat buttoned the wrong way. Nobody seems to know whether the new coats button east or west or north or eouth. Even the B. C. doesn't know. So when we pop out to reveilie, all the coats look as if they have been buttoned up durin & typhoon or some other thing they have in Africa, Some are buttoned anti-clockwise, while others are buttoned toward the magnetic north, So the B. C, steps up and down the line counting tae different epidem- {os of buttoning. The brand of buttoning which seems to be in the ma jority wins. The others are out of luck, Three demerits, I also copped a dozen demerits for having food on my mea kit. ood on your mess kit {s all right during mess, if you have a drag with the K. P.’s, but this didn’t happen to be mess time. However, you can’t expect a bird to do everything right the first time, I expect to do better the next war we have. x It takes at least three wars for a guy to get the hi of things. 1 ain't the only bird making mistakes. This is the Katser’s frat war, and he sure stepped on his chin. The Clown Prince would have ped ‘on his chin, but he hasn't any chin to step on. If I looked like that fish I would take a long running jump in the direction of Santa Claus and forget the way back, That goof ought to lock himself up in a nut- proof jail and tle the key to a rabbit. But speaking of Santa Claus reminds me of the fact that {t is only two months to Christmas, I have still two months’ pay coming to me, and by putting eight dollars to it I ought to be able to buy you a nice elght-dollar diamond ring. But don't worry, Brighteyes; you are going to get someth! fa your stocking besides @ bunion. I ought to be @ second loot by time unless I get dizzy, The only thing that I am sore about is that those Turks quit before I could straighten out their curly toes, I al- ways wondered what made a Turk’s shoes curly, and now It looks as if I won't get a chance to see. Guess the Sultah heard that I was in the war and didn’t want to lose his harem to a handsome etranger like myself. I tell you store clothes and city ways sure count @ lot in this world, Would write a lot more only I have to sweep some dirt froth ‘under my bunk. I am going to sweep under the next guy’s bunk be. cause the poor fish got gore and swept iteunder my roost when he caught me pushing {t under his cot. Can you beat it?
