NEW YORK. — Who is the most In

States? Who is it that has the

who commands their greatest confi

the greatest influence for good, has
the broadest, firmest grasp on the
destiny of the Amercah people?

WHAT LEADING MEN AND WOMEN SAY.
MRS. CLARENCE BURNS, President of the Little Mothers’ Aid
association—The most influential woman in America today is Jane
Addams.
MRS. HARRIOT STANTON BLATCH, Suffrage Leader—Jane
Addams is the most influential, because she knows what she : s talk
ing about.
ROSALIE GARDINER JONES, Suffrage Leader —To my mind,
Mrs. E. H. Harriman is the most influential woman.
SHERIFF JULIUS HARBURGER—I should say Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Catt, the suffrage leader, is our most influential woman today.
great good, you gather some idea of
he difficulty in apportioning the credit
for being the most influential woman.
Also, it Is a matter of environment,
this deciding who is the greatest fem
nine benefactor, and therefore the
most influential. If you are in a hos
pital you instinctively decide it is the
woman who out of her wealth endow
ed such institutions: if you are hun
gry, ir is the woman who feeds the
poor Again, you may think that the
most woman in the I'nited

JANE ADOAMS CHOICE.
To determine the question. The
Press asked a dozen well known New
York men and women to tell who,
in 'heir opinion, was the most influ
ential woman, and to state why.
The concensus of opinion was that
*he is Jane Addams. the good Sa
maritan of Hull house, in Chicago.
Without an instant s hesitation, three
w ell-know a New York women, when
the question was asked them, laid the
signally great honor at the feet of
Here's a Howdy-Do!
When U 9:30? The new law compel
,ing saloons to close at 9:30 went into
effect on July 1. The question now
arises when is 9:30? In Eagle Pass
we have two standards of time. What
is known as standard time is sent out
by the observatory at Washington,
thence from New Orleans to Eagle
Pass. This time is used by the '.all
roads and other institutions as a mat
ter of convenience. Camp Eagle Pass
uses sun, or meridian time, which is
tiniest forty minutes slower than our
the woman who taught the poor of
Chicago the difference between right
and wrong.
Sheriff Julius Harburger handed
the wreath to a New York woman.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. one of the
strongest expounders of suffrage, ex
plaining in his characteristic manner
that had Harriet Beecher Stowe, au
thor of “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” been
alive, the credit should have belonged
to her.
The Rev. I>r. Charles A Eaton, John
D, Rockefeller’s pastor, said the most
influential woman was that wonderful
impersonal being, the American
mother.
MRS. HARRIMAN SECOND.
The Rev. Dr. John P. Peters of St.
Michael’s church, was of the opin
ion that it was impossible to se
lect the one woman with the most
influence. ,
This is what Mrs, Clarence Burns,
president of the Little Mothers Aid
association, said:
‘‘The most Influential woman In
America today Is Jane Addama. Next
to her I would put Mrs. .1. Borden
Harriman of New York. Miss Ad
daras primarily for the every-day
good of life. Her mission is to bring
help to the weak, food to the hungry,
hope to the hopeless, courage to the
fearing and the blessing of right liv
ing to all people. Others strive to ac
complish similar works of good, but
Jane Addams. through a rare mingling
of personality and untiring energy,
succeeds where others fail. Unques
tionably she is the woman with the
greatest influence for good in this
country, if not in the world.
“Mrs. .1. Borden Harriman of New
York, a society woman who has found
time to see the suffering of others and
has the will to aid them, is another
who commands a wide influence along
humanitarian lines. Her work in get
ting milk for the babies of the poor
will not soon be forgotten by a good
many thousand mothers of the poor.”
PICKS “EVERYDAY MOTHER.”
This Is the way the Rev. Dr.
Charles A. Eaton expressed his opin-
ion as to who is the most influential
woman;
“She is no individual. She is that
impersonal woman known as the ev
eryday mother. She is the most in
fluential, and always will be, because
she is at the seat of power of the na
tion —because, day by day. month by
month, she is molding our future men
and women. What influence could be
stronger, further reaching, than that
which forges the destiny of the boys
and girls who, when they become men
and women, shape the destiny of the
world? There is but one answer to
your question. The most influential
woman, and the one worthy of the
greatest love and esteem, is the un
known mother.”
NAMES MRS. STOWE.
“The woman who wrote ‘Uncle
Tom’s Cabin’ was the most influential
\7oman in America. She paved the
way for the ultimate welding into a
great harmonious whole the north and
the south, as was typified at the re
cem gathering of the United Veterans
at the field of Gettysburg. No greater
s'audard. Mexican time is based on
sun time. too. In the absenuce of a
definition of 9:30 in the law. how can
a conviction be secured for violation
of the 9:30 closing act? Granting, for
argument's sake, that standard time
is meant by the law. The law covers
the whole state of Texas, and when
it is 9:30 at Orange. Tex., it is not yet
nine in Eagle Pass, and only about
8; 40 at El Paso. When is 9:30? Sup
pose the saloon man uses sun time.,
the time that governs the majority of
the people on this border —the soldiers
work could have been done or strong
er influences exerted than that exer
cised by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
“In her absence I should say that
Carrie Chapman Catt, the suffrage
leader, is our greatest woman today.
She is a marvel in her clear diction
and analytical and logical thinking in
her speeches. I have heard her and
consider her our best public speaker
among -women. The leader of a great
cause such as suffrage is destined to
be is a woman cc mmanding commen
dation as exerting a wide and power
ful influence.”
KNOWS WHAT SHE TALKS OF.
Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch, one t!
the leaders of suffrage in New York,
said:
“Jane Addams is the most influen
tial woman in America. She Is the
most influential woman because she
knows exactly what she is talking
about.”
Mrs. Charles Henry' Israels, widely
known as a sociological expert, also
gave the tribute to Miss Addams. She
said:
“Jane Addams is the most influen
tial woman because of the feeling of
trust in her which is universal among
all who have come in contact with
her. There is no living soul that does
not trust Jane Addams.
“The reason for this trust is her
freedom from bias, her fearlessness of
evil, her courage for others, her sym
pathy for all. There is no woman, not
alone in the United States but in the
world, who can boast the influence
which is Jane Addams’.”
AGAIN MRS. HARRIMAN.
Rosalie Cardiner Jones, the suf
frage leader, is for Mrs. E. H. Harrl
man.
"I can simply state that the woman
to whom Davenport’s book, ‘Heredity
In Relation to Eugenics,’ is dedicated
is one who has assisted in making
possible the study of the science
which of all others will be of inesti
mable value in its'influence upon the
present and future generations. We
have received as yet only a glimmer
ing of the possibilities of the truth,
but the value to the United States and
the world of this woman is beyond
estimate, for she furthers the work
w'hich realizes that every child has
the right to be well born. She is
Mrs. E. H. Harriman.”
VISIT TOMB OF ST. STEPHEN
Thousands of Invalids Gather Twice a
Year to Implore Intercession
of the Martyr.
In a little church near Jerusalem,
on the site of the ancient Capharga
mala, thousands of the halt and lame
gather semi-£ nually to celebrate the
festival of the finding of St. Stephen’s
relics, to gaze on the bones of the first
Christian martyr and to beg his inter
cession for the relief of their ailments.
St. Stephen was one of the disciples
of Jesus and after the ascension was
chosen one of the seven deacons. For
his adherence to the new faith he was
stoned to death. In the calendar of
saints he has two festivals, falling on
December 26 and August 3, that of the
latter date commemorating the finding
of his relics.
After St. Stephen’s martyrdom his
body lay long concealed under the
ruins of an old tomb at Caphargama
la, 20 miles from Jerusalem. At this
place, early in the fifth century, the
church was served by a venerable
priest named Lucian. According to
tradition, Lucian was twice visited by
a vision of St. Stephen, who revealed
the hiding place of his bones. The
priest laid the matter before the bish
op of Jerusalem, who ordered him to
search for the body of the first saint
at the place indicated.
The coffin was found and w'hen.
opened, according to the chroniclers,
“there came out of it such a sweet
odor that no one remembered to have
ever smelled anything so agreeable.”
A “vast multitude” had assembled,
and, It is said, 73 persons present,
who w r ere afflicted with various ail
ments, W’er© immediately cured and
made well again. A portion ol the
relics were left at Caphargamala, and
the remainder taken to Jerusalem and
interred in the Church of Sion. Fif
teen centuries have passed since the
translation and ever since the relics
of the holy protomartyr have been
thought to possess miraculous healing
powers.
With Good Nature.
At the Author's club in New York
the supreme court’s ratification of
the newspaper publicity law led an
editor to say;
“We’d best take this law' good-na

attack on him.
“The Nola Chucky Sentinel once
said of Mark Twain:
“ Mark Twain used to be a sailor

killed the captain.’
“Mark Twain replied to this as fol

“ Dear Editor —It is quite true tllat

KEEPING ANKLES TRIM
BUTTONED BOOTS MUST BE WORN
PART OF THE SUMMER.
Low Footwear Constantly Used Will
Make Trouble When Other Shoes
Are Donned in the Autumn—
Precaution Is Neglected.
Tbere are women whose slenderness
of ankle and wrist remains unchanged
no matter how much avoirdupois the
rest of the figure takes on as years ad
vance, but the average woman finds
difficulty in keeping her ankles trim
after thirty—especially in the summer
time when f he high-buttoned boot is
exchanged for low-cut slippers and
pumps. If low footwear is worn con
tinuously through the summer it is
found that buttoned boots, donned in
the autumn, pinch cruelly unless the
buttons are moved. As the ankle,
spread because of its unconfinement
during the summer, recedes in size,
the boot becames loose and another
change of the buttons is necessary.
This trouble may be obviated if the
buttoned boot is worn at least part of
tho time through the summer, and as
such boots are now considered best
form for street wear with formal cos
tumes, a pair of dainty patent leather
boots with buttoned tops of suede or
cloth will not only assist in keeping
the ankles trim, but will complete
one's summer wardrobe satisfactorily.
The white buckskin buttoned boots,
worn with white tailored costumes,
are smart and attractive in appear
ance and are comfortable even on the
warmest days.
The ankles of the woman who has
been a good dancer in youth seldom
grow clumsy as years advance, for the
firmly knit leg muscles allow little op
portunity for a deposit of fat. Rising
and falling on the toes 50 times night
and morning will help to harden the
ankles and keep them more tender,
and so will walking with the toe per
sistently placed on the ground before
the heel.
IN BLACK TAFFETA.

Model of black taffeta with ruchings

In front.. Scolloped tunic.
Newest Sweaters.
The newest sweaters are of knitted
silk instead of wool. These cost $16.74
each. They are designed with a large
patch pocket and have no collar
Long sleeves make them useful and
up-to-date. Six large buttons are
placed regularly down the front edge.
The colors are varied, green in the
latest tint, rose, tan, etc. Others
knitted of shaded silk are priced as
high as soo, but most women will
hesitate to buy them, as excellent
cloth coats may now be had at that
price. The greatest recommendation
of the silk sweater is that it fits more
snugly than the wool one. and so if
worn under the coat makes no
wrinkles nor bulkiness.
Pretty Baby Caps.
L T se white lace all over, and draw the
.ullness in at the back with ribbon run
through a tiny hem. Edge the bonnet
with a lace ruffle and make long
strings of fine lace insertion about
three inches wide.
Doeskin Gaiters.
Dame Fcshiun is placing much
stress on the importance of having
smart footgear this season. The lat
est novelty for wearing with street
dresses is the doeskin gaiter dyed to
match the costume. Some women
even prefer to have their gaiters made
of ribbed silk.
The most dressy shoes are in pat
ent kid, with straps coming up over
the instep. A fantastic idea Is the
white doeskin shoe with only the
“empeigne” in black velvet, but this
style is more original than attractive.
Lace Butterfly on Hats.
The butterfly is the pet ornament at
the hat of the moment. Gigantic In
size, it is made of tulle or lace or vel
vet; also in white feathers resembling
grebe, and is invariably finished by
very tall antennae. On a toque made
of pink and gray ribbon folded across
the crown and finished in two large
loops at the back, there is a black but
terfly in front, made of similar lace to
that which is drawn tightly round the
upturned brim.
A novelty to be seen is a Tuscan
PROV'DES FOR SAFETY PINS
Pretty and Dainty Little Cushion Hau
One Feature That Is Something
of a Novelty.
The accompanying sketch illustrate?
a particularly pretty and dainty little
pin cushion. It is triangular in shape,
and is made with cream-colored satin
and edged with a pale pink silk cord
carried into two loops at each of the
lower comers. Upon the front a neat
and simple floral design is embrold
"-$* <s'■*£■ .^w|r^>
ered consisting of three pale pink dog
roses, with white centers, and leaves
worked in various shades of green. At
the top of the cushion there is a smart
bow of pale pink satin ribbon with a
loop of some of the same ribbon ar
ranged above It for suspending the
cushion from the post of the looking
glass or a nail in the wall.
The novel feature about this cush
ion is the provision made for safety
pins, which consists of four ordinary
little key rings sewn on at the base,
and to which the pins may be fastened
on In the manner shown. If hook*
are sewn on between each ring they
will be found very useful for hanging
up keys or other small articles.
COATS USEFUL IN MANY WAYS
Garment of Lightweight Worsted
Serviceable in a Great Variety
of Respects.
No more useful garment than the
coat of lightweight worsted has been
included in woman's wardrobe in
years. These coats fill almost every
requirement of a summer wrap. They
are gracefully appropriate for wear
with the draped afternoon costume of
crepe de chine, lansdowne or foulard,
are jauntily attractive over a short
skirU and outing costume, and they will
answer for short motor trips and for
travel by rail or by water. The
rather severely cut models of dark
or neutral colored material are the
most satisfactory—and usually the
smartest. Sometimes a bright colored
Bulgarian collar adds a touch of
gayety, and very exclusive coats of
this sort have linings of American
Beauty or emerald green silk. Man
darin yellow is another favorite lining
hue. Very good looking sport coats
of pin striped black or navy serge,
with trim lines and trimming of white
pearl buttons may be found.
Practical Dyeing.
Where there are many children in
a family it is economy to do consid
erable dyeing. Many a faded muslin
can be made to appear in a fresh
color. Light evening frocks can be
dyed a darker shade and serve for
school or afternoon wear. Remember
to dye at the same time any extra
pieces of material to serve for alter
ing or patching, as it is almost impos
sible to match a dyed material. White
or cream colored ribbons or flowers
may be given a beautiful shrimp pink
shade by dipping in water in which
red ink has been dropped. Ordinarily
liquid wash blueing used in the same
way will tint feathers, wings, etc., a
pretty pale blue.
Aids to Beauty,
Almost every woman can preserve
her skin and ward off wrinkles if she
will keep these aids at hand: First
and foremost plenty of soft water —
boiled water or rain water; next a
pound of oatmeal from the grocer; a
bottle of almond oil, a jar of good
skin food, a box of powder and a cup
of boiling milk every night
You know how to use most of these
helps to beautify, but you may not
know what to do with the cup of
milk. Put a quarter of it in the basin
and rub it into your face with your
hands, then sip the rest of it. There
is nothing like it for tired nerves.
To Whiten Feathers.
Plunge the feathers in naphtha
rinse in second dish of naphtha and
dry in the open air. Place in a closed
box and expose to the strong fumes of
sulphur. The box must be airtight, or
the bleaching will not be successful.
straw hat trimn#d with small straw
berries with their leaves and blos
soms. A litle bunch of the berries
falls over the hair under the brim on
the left side.
Fancy Skirts.
When a skirt of black or other dara
material looks shiny from #nuch wear
it can be rubbed with a solution of
borax and water. This solution re
moves the glaze completely and can
be applied whenever the shine returns
Borax, of course, might, like ammonia,
have a disastrous effect on some col
ors, so It too should be tried first on
the wrong side of the skirt.
Attractive Novelty.
A charming little sewing table of
gilt, is one of the season’s most attrac
tive novelties, and would make a love
ly gift. This table is square and
stands about three and a half feet
from the floor. It is covered with old
gold lace and lined with crushed rose
colored velvet, and, though expensive
Is slmost Irresistible when encoun
tered in the shops.

TO DISCOURAGE BROODY HENS
There Are Many Ways of Breaking
Up Broodincss—Coop With Slat
ted Bottom Is Excellent.
The end of the breeding" season
seems to be tho appointed time for
hens to get broody. Earlier in the
year when their services would have
been most welcome great difficulty
was experienced in finding sufficient
to sit on the desired number of eggs.
August is too late for the utiliring o(
their broodiness, unless a few duck
eggs be set under some of them. At
this time, too, the scarcity of eggs
makes it the desire of all poultry
keepers to break up their “broodies”
and have them laying again as soon as
possible.
There are many ways of breaking
hens of broodiuess, and the more bar
barous ones such as tying the hen up
by one leg. throwing cold water over
her, or making her stand in water
should be forgotten and practiced no
longer. The same and better results
can be obtained by more'human meth
ods.
Placing the hen in an ordinary coop,
with a slatted bottom, and suspending
the coop from the ceiling of the

Coop for Broody Hens.
scratching pen about a foot above the
floor by wires or chains attached to
the four corners has been found effi
cacious. A gentle swing whenever en
tering the pen will soon make the
birds desirous of joining their more
busy companions. A little Epsom
salts given in a mash and an abundant
supply of green food should be given.
All foods which have the slightest
tendency toward heat production, such
as corn, meat scraps, etc., must bo
withheld for a few days.
Take the bird in time. It is prac
tically impossible to break a hen
after allowing her to sit on a nest
for two or three days.
It should always be remembered
that in the ordinary course of nature
a hen that has laid persistently all
winter and spring, demands a short
rest, which broodiness gives.
ONE HOT WEATHER TROUBLE
When Diarrhea First Makes lt& Ap
pearance It May Be Checked by
Use of Charcoal.
(By H. B. SPECK.)
Diarrhea is one of the most com
mon hot weather troubles in poultry
of all ages, and when it makes its
first appearance, charcoal freely fed
may check or control the disorder. Di
arrhea may be due to food or drink
ing water being foul with droppings
or other filth; to feeding impure,
musty and moldy food; to overheat
ing; to feeding In dusty, musty or
moldy litter; to unclean quarters and
dampness: to overfeeding on meat
food or feeding spoiled meat; to eat
ing poisoned substances or to indiges
tion from any cause. The first thing
to do when diarrhea makes its ap
pearance is to find the cause and re
move it. Drinking from filthy pools
in unclean runs after a sudden show
er. or drinking barnyard seepage Is
a common cause of diarrhea in hot
weather. .

Watch the grit box.
Keep all your houses wide open

Don’t crowd your birds. Give them
all the range you can.
See your little chicks have
plenty of shade and water.
Sell the rooster and buy an alarm
clock. It’s more useful now.
Wheat and oats are better hot
weather feeds than corn and Kafir.
Don’t forget to keep down the lice;
Just a little grease on top of chick’s
head is good.
Be sure to store away some clover
or alfalfa hay this summer for the lay
ers in cold weather.
The cost of pure-bred stock is not
so prohibitive but that it may be had
by all who raise poultry.
Don’t forget to sprinkle lime on
drop boards, not too much, for it is
hard on the chickens’ feet.
No matter what kind of a vessel
holds the fowls’ drinking water, it
should be kept in the shade these
days.
Do not put males in adjoining pens
with only netting between them. Have
a 12-inch board at the bottom of each
partition.
Let the geese search for food in the
fields during the day and give them
enough cracked corn, wheat, and oats
to make a full meal at night.
Fresh water Is the only kind hens
should ever have. They hate to drink
warm, dirty water and they will not
do it unless they are forced to It.
The water vessel now needs a shel
ter from the sun instead of a heater
under it. Warm water is no better in
summer then in winter as a drink.
