Serious-minded women of Cincinnati are giving attention to the problem of the high school girl who deliberately tries to attract susceptible youth. Among the items in the school and street costume of this particular kind of high school girl are mentioned high heels, low-necked waists, sleeves above the elbows, paint and other cosmetics and gauze hose. With the gauze hose go shppers or pumps, Unfortunately the criticism thus made applies to high school girls in other cities besides Cincinnati. When a young girl gets hersell up for the express purpose of drawing attention from members of the other sex she bitterly needs a vigorous ap plication of the maternal slipper. I'he saddest thing about the matter is that the mother of the girl is usually more to blame than the girl herself. 'I'he mother is old enough to know better than to permft her daughter to make a show of herself in public. The fact that she does permit it fastens the greater fault upon the older generation. The serious-minded women of Uin- cinnati who have called attention to this evil declare it to be their purpose so far as possible to standardize their own dress "along the lines of appro- priateness, comfort, health and sim- plicity in order to set a proper' exam- ple.

A- Word of Cantion is Given With Regd to Potatoes--In the 'North-West the Seasons Have Been Adverse 'o Fall Ploughing. Ottawa, November 19.--A bulletin issued by the census and statistics office contains estimates of the yield, quality and value of the root and fodder crops of Canada during the past season, based upon return: from agricultural correspondents at the end of October. Upon total areas for potatoes, turnips, man- golds, etc., hay and clover, alfalfa, fodder corn and sugar beets, amount- ing to 8,732,000 acres as compared with 9,160,000 acres last year, the total value of the products is $192, 500,000 compared with $223,790,000 a decrease in value of $33,290,000. This decrease is caused by the dim- fnution, both in area and yield, of the hay and clover crop, which is less than last year in area by 426; 000 acres, in yield by 2,000,006 tons, and in value by $28,380,000. All the other crops show increases, except alfalfa, the area of which in Canada is relatively small The yield of potatoes is 81,348,000 bushels of the value of $32,173,000, of turnips and other roots 87,505, 000! bushels, value $20,713,000, of fodder corn 2,858,900 tons, value $13,529,000, of sugar beets 204,000 tons, value $1,020,000 and of alfalfa 310,000 tons, value $3,610,000. In quality all these crops are marked high, the standard percentage being about 87, excepting for turnips, ete. which are 93 and for fodder corn which is 82. A wopd of caution is necessary with regard to potatoes, for whilst yield and quality are gen- erally good: at harvesting, there are numerous reports of rotting in the cellars, the produce of the heavier soils having been considerably af- fected by the constant ralans. The area estimated to be sown to fall wheat in five provinces of Can- ada this season aggregates 1,086,000 acres as compared with 1,156,900 acres the area sown last year. This represents a net decrease of 70,100 acres, or 6 p.¢t. In Ontario the acreage sown is 696,000 acres com- pared with 797,200 acres, a decrease of 101,200 acres or 13.6 p.c.; in Al- berta, the figures are 312,000 acres as against 300,700, a decrease of 11,- 300 acres, or 3% p.c.; and in Sas- katchewan theyarea sown is 72,000 acres against 53,000 acres, an in- crease of 19,000 acres or 36 pec. Smal areas in aMnitoba and British Columbia complete the totals. The decrease in area is due to the persis- tent rains' which have hindered ploughing and sowing oprations. The condition of this crop on Octo- ber 31 was 92.67 p.c. of the standard for the five provinces. It was above 90 in each province, except Manitoba where the small area of about 4, 000 acres had a per cent. condition of 88%. The ntage of fall ploughing comple i land intended for t yeat's crops ranges from 45 in Ontario to 77 in Prince Edward Is- land for the east and from 24 in Al- berta to 88 in British Celumbia for the west. _ It is remarkable that both this year and last year the sea- sons in the three northwest prov- inces have been adverse to fall % ' f \ Canadian Postum Cereal Co., Lid.

Ellen Terry's Choice is Juliet's Apology for Maiden Boldness. Ellen Terry in The Strand Magazine. 1 find it a matter of very great dif- ficulty to select one particular love scene as my favorite. 1 can at least say, however, that 1 have ever felt the deepest affection and admiration for the passage in "'Homeo and Juliet" in which Juliet makes apology for her maiden boldness. My reason for selecting this particu- lar passage is tnat it serves to show | to the full the perfect refinement and | delicacy of Shakespeare's conception of the female character. in this passage--and, indeed, in all the rest--Juliet's heart futtering be- tween joy, hope and fear, seems to regulate her speech in so beautiful a manuer that the thought instinctively | grosses one's mind that ere, at least, , the feelings of youth and of the spring | are blended together like the breath of openung flowers.

New York, Nov. 20.--1t is not libel ous per se for a newspaper to print the death notice of a living person, when the publication is a "mere mat- ter of news," according to a decision of the appeliate division of the wu. preme court, just handed down. Some time ago S. G. Gilbert, acting as the guardian ad litem of ealey Coben, brought an action against the New York Times on the ground that the paper had published Mr. Cohen's death 'sotice, when he was not dead. The paper demurred to the complaint on the formal ground that it did not set forth facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. Justice Crane, of the supreme court, overruled the de murrer. The paper appealed. The question, then, whether the pub- lication eould be a libel per se involves an inquiry into whether it could have inj the reputation of the plaintiff Here is an item of news in a newspa- The item states that an eveni as come to pass which is looked for in the history of every man, is re- garded as beyond his control, and, therefore, does not permit the infer- ence that the man has done any act or suffered any act which he could have done or which he need not have suffered.

Washington, Nov. 2W.- criticism of the calibre students sent to Oxford university under the Rhodes scholarship was delivered by Dr. George R. Parkin, of Oxford executive secretary of the Rhodes Scholarship Trust, before the Nation- al Association of State Universities, at its seventeenth annual here. Dr. Parkin divided the students sent to Oxford from the United States into three classes. The first third, he said, were high-grade students, the second third were fair, while the other third, "well, it is a mystay to the Oxford faculty how they ever got there." Dr. Parkin said that merit should be the determining fae- tor in awarding the Rhodes scholar ships. Well-rounded students were desired, he declared, regardless of financial or social standing. He told the association that Oxford was the eentre of the culture of the world, and that he sould not understand the lack of interest by Americans in the opportunity opened hy by the Rhodes scheme. He said Oxford rul- od England, and that at least one- half of every cabinet formed in the last one hundred years had been Ox- ford men.
