Who Will Appear With the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in This City. —Photo by Stephenson Studio A young matron who Is fond of many Outdoor sports, but partial to golf, was discussing her pleasure in the game sev eral days ago at a lunchdon at the club. The first year of her residence in Bir mingham, she says, her health was ex tremely poor and this she attributes sole ly to the fact that during that time she tad given up her golf play. There are a lot of anaemic, listless women who do not know what Is the mat ter with them that might be restored to health and Intellectual vigor If they would get out on the good green grass, use the muscles they have and develop them. Golf is largely played by men in this vicinity, but the women players are in creasing. Every woman, according to the best informed people, who- goes to the golf links means that some physician is going to lose a paying patient. NEWS OF WOMEN HERE AND THERE The question as to whether M. Poin care. the French president, is a believer in women's enfranchisement or not is at present being discussed in feminist circles, according to the Standard. M. Poincare has shown himself to be a friend in the matter of women’s advancement in pro-1 fessions. and was one of the most earnest advocates for their admission to the bar. Jle gave still further proof of his femin ist tendencies by appointing Mine. Galtier. j a woman advocate, as one of his private secretaries, a position she is to retain | under his presidency. He has also public-| ly stated his belief in universal suffrage, j and in view of his general attitude toward wemen feminists are inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt and accept this A SKIN or BEAUTY IB A JOY FOWEVEW Dr. T.

The number of German women who seek admission to the universities shows a steady increase year by year, and 3213 are enrolled for this year as against 2795 for J91IJ. There arc also 1722 outside stu dents who arc allowed by the faculties to attend special courses. The majority of women enter classes devoted to philos ophy, philology and history, but with the recent admission of women to Swiss pas torships the number .of theological stu dents has also increased. A curious an tipathy against this influx of women still exists among the male students, and one obdurate professor at Berlin university refuses absolutely to admit women to his lectures. The women students are now frying to break down this sex harrier and establish co-operation by securing admis sion to the men’s clubs and societies in stead of organizing especial feminine clubs. Up to the present, however, tills endeavor to introduce a communal social life has met with but Iff'tle success. TO RECEIVE WITH MRS. GROCE HARRISON Mrs. W.

Uncooked Pound Cake Three-quarters pound seeded dates, one-half pint English walnuts, one pint grated whole wheat bread crumbs; the nuts and crumbs should be quite fine. Put the dates through a meat chopper; moisten the bread crumbs a little or the cake will be too dry. Press the mixture in a buttered pan and let stand over night.

M., who wished her club to earn money for charitable purposes: There is no way easier and more satisfactory than for each member to invite 10 friends, each to taring 10 cents, and they in turn to ask 10 others. Have a'pples or pop corn or nuts and make it a five hun dred or Kensington, musical, quilting or bridge. Cal it the 'ten-ten'. “READER.” Home for Old Man "The request for a home for an aged man is a sad case. There is in San Antonio, Tex., a Catholic home for the aged—tlie Home of St. Francis. The secretary is Sister M. Eudoxia. Old people. If they have no means of sup port, are cared for as those having money to pay. If the old man will write to a Roman Catholic priest of Fort Worth I am sure he will send him to this place. MRS. A. F. L.’’ Cracking Pecans “If M. T. and all others who love the delicate and delicious pecan will fol low this method they will have no trouble in getting out the meats whole or in halves. Buy at a hardware store a patent nut cracker with either screw or lever arm and an attachment for fastening it to the table, and put the nuts in lengthwise, turning the screw to crack the nut. All thin shell nuts will then be easily taken from the shells. Or take a pair of nut crackers hinged at the end. with square arms, and with the catching edge of the cracker break off the sharp end of the nut. Then put the entire nut in the cracker crosswise and with gentle pressure crack it equally on all side. In almost every case this will bring out the meats whole or in halves. There is a compound leverage nut cracker like a pair of pliers with an alligator jaw, which exerts a grad uated pressure, but this is rather ex pensive. A pair of ‘combination’ pliers such as are used by chauffeurs is also effective if used as described above. But the square armed, end hinged nut cracker is on the whole the best I know, and I have been experimenting for several years with considerable success. A PECAN LOVER.’’ To Shell Pecans “Put them Into lukewarm water, al low to soak over night, when the shells can he removed without break ing the kernel. This method is used by produce and nut dealers. * “L. K. C.” Caring: for Canary’s Claws ■Referring to your article, 'Mani curing a Canary,’ in the Corner, I wish to add for the benefit of Mrs. R. that if she wiil hold the little feet to the light she will see a tiny vein run ning part way down each nail. She can easily ^-manicure the bird herself of she will cut the nail beyond this little vein. Care must he taken. I did this at intervals when I had a canary some years ago and never experienced any difficulty whatever in the opera tion. MRS. a.” Adopting a Baby “There is a Christian institution at Council Bluffs, la., where, I think. Mrs., J. H. W. can find children for adoption If she measures up to their standard. The institution is nonsectarian. They never separate a family of children; If they cannot place them together they bring them up in the home. They take children from all over the United States and will let them go into a home that they find after investiga tion is all right. They are particular about the home the children are placed in. It must be a Christian home. With the card I am going to send a letter for you to addresB and forward to Mrs. J. H. W. It seems to me that the shortest, route to her is in this way, and it will take less of yout valuable time. I hope this will not trouble you. She will have my address In case she cares to communicate direct with me. There is much of interest in the H. H. Corner. MRS. M. E. W." “I see Mrs. M. desires to adopt a child. I should like to put her into touch with the orphans' home in St. Louis, Mo., known as the Benevolent Association of the Disciples of Chris tian Church. The Heavens home, an other branch, at East Aurora, is the home for the aged. If one cannot go to make her own selection the home will send a baby by one of Its staff. "V. M. W.” For Busy Housewives "For the benefit of the busy young housewives I send my formula for making a variety of cakes: One and one-half cups of sugar, one-third cup of shortening, two eggs. one-third teaspoon salt, one cup milk, two and one-half cups of flour/ sifted with two teaspoons of baking powder; fla vor to taste. Beat to a cream the sugar, salt, shortening and unbeaten eggs; add milk, lastly the flour, stir well, then beat vigorously for a few minutes, pour into greased pans for loaf or layer cake, or cocoanut cake use three-fourths cup of cocoanut. For nut cake, one cup of nut meats. For fruit cake, fruit and spices to taste. By using one-half cup of cocoa in place of one-half cup of flour one has a good dark cake. “Lemon jelly for layer cake: Three fourths cup of sugar, juice of one lemon, one beaten' egg. one and one half tablespoons of water. Stir all to gether and cook over steam. Spread when cool between the layers. “Pardon me for sending these re cipes. but during these busy times T find the old process of cake making too tedious. N.

THE SUFFRAGETTES INVADE WALL STREET New York, April 9.—Suffragists adopted a novel method today of attracting the attention of the financial district to their cause. Marching beside a small four wheel cart, drawn by four small mules, six youthful suffragettes, headed by Miss Mary Donnelly, invaded Wall street. The “Votes for Women” advocates halted in the shadow’ of the offices of J. P. Mor gan & Co., where Miss Donnelly ad dressed a large crowd while the “recruits’’ distributed suffragist literature. Two men, bolder than their brothers, stepped from the crowd, and each made a speech in the interests of the cause. The crowd was orderly, the speakers not being hissed and insulted as wrere the suffragists who invaded Wall street about a year ago. At the conclusion of Miss Donnelly’s speech the police made a path through the crowd and the little band, marching firmly beside the mules and cart, headed an impromptu parade north on Broad wa y.

B. Cobb, Secretary Foreign Department Distinguished Woman Whose Name is Known and Honored Throughout the Length and Breadth of the South—Noted Educator for Many Years at Wesleyan Female College. Her Able Work in Missionary Fields—Much Time Spent in the Orient By DOLLY DALRYMPLG Throughout the length and breadth of the southland, the name of Mrs. .T. B. Cobb is honored and revered. Coming as she does from the distin guished Georgia family by that name and allied to it by marriage as well, socially, commercially and profession ally, she occupies a position that needs no encomium, for the name of "Cobb'’ spells success and honor wherever it is known. Mrs. Cobb is one of tlie most famous educators in the south, since her eighteenth year having occupied the position of professor of English in the Wesleyan Female college at Macon, Ga. Within the past few years she has graced the position of secretary of the woman’s foreign missionary council, department of the M. E. church, south, adding distinctiAn to the position as well as credit to the work. Her gentle, kindly face (every fea ture bespeaking her brilidnt intellect) beams with brightness and good cheer and her silver hair above her noble brow forms a sort of halo, as it were, above her benign countenance and the moment you speak with Mrs. Cobb MRS. J. B. COBB Secretary of the Woman’s Mission Council, Foreign Department you realize that you are in the presence of a woman whose life stands out as an example of true worth and Chris tian fortitude. Discussing- foreign missions as con ducted by the Woman's Missionary council of the M. E. church, south, yesterday with Mrs. Cobb, she said among other tilings: “Since becoming secretary of foreign missions 1 have had some varied and delightful experiences. My life had been spent largely in the schoolroom, although I had always been an active worker In the church and especially in the cause of missions since the work was organized as far back as 1878. At one time I was made president of the south Georgia conference and later corresponding secretary of the Wom an’s Missionary board, and in conse quence 1 attended all meetings and have always been an Interested, ac tive worker. When the general con ference made the foreign and home missionary societies one, l assumed the duties of the present position and have been steadily at work ever since." I presume your position nas caneu you to very interesting: parts of the world?” I suggested. “I spent about 15 months in the Orient,” Mrs. Cobb replied, spending JO out of the 15 in China. I was also, in Corea, India and Egypt, studying conditions. At the time I want to China Yuan-sha-kai. the present President, was viceroy of Chili province. He was at that titna becoming greatly inter ested in educational work. He ordered j that 5000 schools.should be provided for the Chinese students and com manded that every tent in the Budhist temple should he converted into a school. The idols that had been wor shiped were thrown into the river or destroyed." “Was not that practically the beginning of the great educational reformation in China?” f asked. “The movement was really started by the Emperor and the Dowager Empress,” said Mrs. Cobb, “although this also marked a distinctive epoch in the w'ork. I recall going several times to those old examination halls in Nanking and Peking, where once a year the Chinese men from all parts of the empire assembled to stand their examinations. They were congre gated in stalls, holding\maybe 20,000 and the old men came year After year, trying to stand the test in order to secure some sort of political office. If they passed their examinations they w'ere accorded some political preferment, otherwise they were sent hack home to try again.” “Today.” Mrs. Cobb said, “we have 7000 children in our schools which shows the. progress that missionary work has made. In Corea, we have had fanny obstacles to contend with. The conspiracy case m which we have all been so interested, which had to do with Japan's troubles with the Coveans, when a hundred or more Presbyterian and many Methodist natives were arrested and jailed, has teen world famous. Baron Yun, who was at the head of the Anglo-Co^ean school, and who by the way was educated at Vanderbilt university in .Nashville and Oxford, Ga., was one of the most prom inent of those who were arrested. Tills particular case, while it may retard our work temporarily, will not interfere seri ously with us. Wo have had to conform in every way to the Japanese customs in Corea, so far as school buildings equip ment and efficiency of leathers Is con cerned. I can recall the time In Corea that our churches were so filled, that the congregations had to worship in sections. In the kindergarten, the children are I compelled to learn the Japanese language, ' and are not allowed to speak their own ' language." "Which is very characteristic of the autocratic nature of the Japs," I sug gested. "The Japanese as a nation are not us clever or as interesting as the Chinese," said Mrs. Cobb. "The Chinese are so intelligent and so honeet. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but as a na tion they are noted for their honesty. Our missionaries, however, never fail in their work, it matters not what the conditions. Out. in Mexico, for instance, during all the stormy times that have been lately experienced there, our schools remained open with the exception of two. which were in operation until the American con sul advised a discontinuance. Some of our missionaries did not take off their clothes for eight or 10 days at a time, and the only sleep they had was on a mattress thrown down on the floor and with their clothes on they slept that way." "And your activities in Africa—tell me, 9 when you expect to begin?"* 1 asked. "We hope in December," said Mrs. Cobb. "Already we have arranged for a doctor, a teacher and a constructor to go Into the Congo region, and begin. They, with their wives, will study in Kn gland and Belgium, before they go actively to work. They niu^t acquire the French language tc begin with, as that is the court* lan guage. as it/were, among the government officials there. We are starting on $15, <100 with this work, the women giving $5000 of that amount." "Do you find that women of ti|e church have progressed very much in tut* cause of missions?" I asked. "Only one-tenth of the women in the church are interested in missions at all," said Mrs. Cobh. "The half million dol lars that we contrllu^o is made up by these women, I will say this; that the women are more intelligently interested than they have ever been before in mis sions, because they know more about ttie work. We always take more interest in things we know most about and informa tion is inspiration. Just as we have had recently a beauti&il endowment made in Cuba by a native Cuban, Signor Tosca. The man was a teacher in the public schools of Matanxas, and while he had alw'ays been interested in our missionary work, we never knew until his death, how much interested he really was. He made a bequest of his ‘quinta’—his residence and his grounds—and *asked that it bo used In the cause of mlsslaha.*’1 Workman Burned Chicago, April 9.—One Vorkraan was burned to death and 75 narrowly escaped injury when Are today destroyed the. plan ing mill of William Morris & Sons corn pi ny, causing a loss of IlflO.WO.
