WOMEN FOR CONGRESS
IN INCREASING NUMBERS j
No less than 14 women have
eceived nominations for Cong
■ess this year, and are now act
ively engaged in their election
campaigns. Of these, five are
oresent members seeking re
jection. One, Senator Hattie
W. Caraway, of Arkansas, who
was chosen to succeed her late
husband for the remainder of
his term, seems sure of being
elected for a full term of her
own.
Of the four women seeking
re-election to the House, three
are Republicans and one is a
Democrat. Of the nine new as
pirants, four are Democrats,
four are Socialists, and one is a
Republican. All four Socialists
candidates are from Pennsyl
vania, which also offers one
Democratic aspirant.
The most prominent of the
new women candidates for
Congress is Judge Florence E.
Allen, who has been a justice
of the Ohio Supreme Court for
11 years, and is a Democrat.
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen of
Florida, daughter of William
Jennings Bryan, was defeated
for the Democratic nomination
in her district in the recent pri
mary, although she is conceded
to be one of the ablest women
ever to serve in Congress. It is
said that prohibition was a
factor in her defeat, her op
ponent being an avowed
“wet,” while Mrs. Owen
leaned toward the “dry” side.
It may be recalled that Miss
Jeanette Rankin of Montana,
the first woman ever to be
elected to Congress, served on
ly one term, 1917-1919, being
defeated for re-election large

the entry of the United States
into the World War. She, too,
was an exceptionally brilliant
woman, but her pacifist ten

HOW - =
PAPKR INDUSTRY MAY BR
SAVKD BY BAMBOO PULP.—
The average man wonld laugh if
lie were told that, wltldn his life
time, there nmy come a period
when he nmy not he able to buy a
newspaper or book without pay
ing a price that would now be re
garded as exorbitant. This, how
ever, is a recognized fact to ex
perts who are in close touch with
tlie pulp and paper Industry. They
may be called alarmists, but they
have facts and figures.
Many substitutes of vegetable j
origin have been experimented j
with, but gradually they have
been rejected as unpractical for |
one reason or another. The obvi
ous solution to tlie problem lies
in the use of bamboo. The sup
plies of bamboo in Burma and
India alone are Inexhaustible, and
at the present time 09 per cent is
not used for any productive pur- i
pose. Here, then, stems to lie tlie
answer to the world demand for
pulp.
W. Rlatt, who for several years
lias been in charge of an experi
mental factory at Dera Dun, In
dia, says that just as good, if not
better, paper can lie made from
bamboo pulp at half the cost of
wood pulp. This bamboo is an In
teresting grass. Its growth Is so
rapid that it can lie watched with
the naked eye. If a stake is plant
ed alongside a young culm, In 24
hours it will be found to have
grown a foot to 18 indies; In
three months’ time it will reach
its full height of 120 feet, with a
diameter of eight inches.
“Bamboo is almost n human
plant,” says Mr. Itiatt, “and by its
force of character nnd growth, is
bound to become known to the
public, who, in tlie nenr future,
will undoubtedly have to conserve
this product for paper-making”.—

How Mirages, on Earth
and Sea, Are Produced
Mirages are not the results of too
vivid imagination, but are natural
phenomena produced by variations
in the density of the atmosphere. In
the hotter parts of the day the air
near the surface of the sand in a
desert becomes abnormally heated,
so tlint there is a well-deflDed
: bounding surface between the lower
strata and the cooler, denser layers
of air above. This acts as a reflect
ing mirror, in which objects appear
Inverted. A cloud or portion of the
I sky may be so reflected that it ap
pears as a body of water lying on
| the sands of the desert. Mirages at
sea are produced by the denser lay
ers of air next to the surface of the
water; the reflected objects seem to
be suspended in the sky and invert
! ed. The ray of light entering the
■ eye has been refracted or bent by
! passing through the different layers
■ of air, and the image is seen in the
direction of the ray as it enters the
eye and not in its actual direction.
How Bird Stitches Nest
One of the smartest of the small
birds is the sp-cnlled tailor bird, which
; actually sews a shelter together for
its nest. The bird, about the size
of a warbler, is native to India, Cey
lon and China. It usually makes its
nest among leaves at the end of twigs
I of trees. When a single leaf Is large
i enough the edges are sewn together,
I while if the leaves are smaller several
are drawn together. The leaves form
a shelter within which the nest proper
! is constructed.
The sewing is accomplished through
the use of the bill as a pierce. Small
' holes are made In the leaves and
j through these, fiber or grass is drawn,
' the edges of the leaves thus being
united and secured.
How “E«q.” Should Be Used
“Esquire,” abbreviated “Esq.,” Is
: sometimes used after a person's name
in addressing n letter and takes the
i place of Mr. before the name, but the
’ practice is gradually dying out In the
' United States. An esquire was origi
’ nally the attendant of an English
knight. In time the word became a
title of courtesy which spread to the
classes known ns “gentry”—the young
er sons of peers, landholders, lawyers
-, and literary men. As a form of ad
'' dress for letters in Great Britalr
I “esquire” Is generally employed it
' I connection with those who are no
J j artisans or tradesmen; it serves as f
t i mark of respect just a little lilghei
