Englewood, 111. — “While going
through the Change of Life 1 suffered
with headaches, ner

so much I did not

day a lady called at
my house and said
she had been as sick

now 1 am just as well as I ever was. I
cannot understand why women don’t

Dickens’ Poor Tacte in Dress.
When Charles Dickens was to make
his iirst appearance in America - as a
reader an immense crowd awaited him
at a public hail in Boston. The en
thusiasm of the people had risen to
lever heat. Cne of his most ardent
admirers afterward told this little in
cident of the evening:
“With a few gentlemen, who wished
to welcome him and to show him at
tention, 1 was in the little room bar..
of the platform when Dickens entered
it. lie was a rather .stout man, with a
somewhat rod face, and 1 saw. to my
surprise, that he was dressed ir. an
exaggerated servility to the extreme
of fashion. More than this, lie wore a
boutonniere in each buttonhole, and
two watches, the chains of which were
strung aggressively across his chest.
There was a gaudy bail taste in his
appearance which his friends regret
ted. knowing how distasteful it would
be to his admirers, who appreciated
his genius and enjoyed his writings.”

I Remarkable Interview 1
| With Henry Ford
By Henry Wise Wood.
conference committee on national pre
paredness, went to Detroit recently to
speak on preparedness and to interview*
Henry Ford. He wrote the following let
ter to the editor of the New York Times.J
To the Editor of the New York Times:
On May 8, while in Detroit for the pur
pose of speaking on preparedness, I spent
several hours with Henry Ford. 1 found
Mr. Ford eager to talk about national de
fense. but unwilling to discuss it. While
volleying Ids assertions with great rapid
ity, he refused to pause long enough to
permit any one of them to be examined
and dealt with. To facts which I sub
mitted he responded with a brief word of
dismissal or with a sweeping denial that
they were facts: sometimes with the re
mark that he could not consider them be
cause he himself did not know them to
be facts.
Jn dealing with naval and military sub
jects his position seemed to be that they
were to be tossed aside, because a civilian
in presenting them was not to be credited,
nor a professional to be trusted. There
fore they were not open to discussion. By
this simple mental operation Mr. Ford
shut out of the conversation all naval and
military affairs.
Ford Does Not Believe In History.
The suggestion that, because of the re
sults of this war or the situation in
Mexico, we might eventually find our
selves in international difficulties from
which owing to our weakness, wre might
be unable easily to extricate ourselves,
Mr. P'ord pooh-poohed, saying I was “full
of eastern scare gas.”
When in our “discussion” of a nation's
need for defensive strength history was
appealed to, Mr. P'ord replied that he did
not believe in history, that history was of
the past and had no bearing upon the
present, and that, there being nothing to
be learned from it, history need not be
studied nor considered. The American
revolution he refused to have touched
upon, saying that the revolution was
“tradition,” that he did not believe in tra
dition.
Coming to Mr. Ford’s beliefs, w'hich
were given in fragments, with always his
refusal to support them with evidence or
to permit their analytical examination,
these seemed to gather about a single
thought. Mr. P'ord’s theory of wars—he

4 GLIMPSE OF PARADISE. ♦
4 ♦
From the National Geographic Society.
Aden is the unhappy gateway into happy
Araby. and, moreover, it is one of the
foremost strategic points on Eigland's
trade route through the Red sea to India
and the far east. One Arabian author
Bays of the country behind Aden, that
country known as Arabia Felix. “Its in
habitants are all hale and strong, sickness
Is unknown, noA are there poisonous
plants or animals; nor fools nor blind peo
ple, and the women are ever young; the
climate is like paradise and one wears the
Bame garments summer and winter.” Ad
en. however, where the British and Turk
ish forces are opposing one another, en
joys none of these advantages catalogued
as inherent in Arabia Felix.
Spread over its ragged hills of sunmade
ash and cinder, sweltering, gloomy and
/mrelieved by vegetation. Aden invites
little attention in peace times. “Aden is
a valley surrounded by the sea: its climate
is so bad that it turns wine into vinegar
in the space of 10 days." complained one
disappointed Arab traveler of the middle
figes. And In the centuries since his visit
I he climate has not improved. In spite,
nevertheless, of the terrible heat that
gathers over Aden's valley and clings to
its low hills and its lack of a good water
supply, the place maintains a reputation
as a healthy one.
The town Is built on desolate volcanic
rocks that constitute a peninsula near the
entrance to the Red sea. The Strait of
Babel-Mandeb lies 100 miles away, and
Aden is the British Gibraltar toward the
Indian ocean that keeps an enternal vigi
lance over the safety of the rich English
commerce that goes this way. The British
captured and annexed the place on Janu
ary 10. 1839. since which time they have
made the place a most emphatic fortress,
one of the strongest anywhere in southern
Asia. Money and labor without stint have
been expended there to make the city ab
solutely Impregnable from land and sea.
Massive lines of defense, strengthened by
a broad moat, guard the neck of the isth
mus, and these defenses conceal powerful
batteries. Turrets, hidden forts, mined
approaches, bastions, towers, batteries,
magazines, mole batteries toward the sea.
mined harbors, great naval guns, obstruc
tion piers, barracks, redoubts in solid
rock, all are elements in the British plan
to guard this southern end of their im
portant trade route beyond all possible
chance of failure against superior and
sustained attack. Aden may be last in
matters of climate, but it is among the
first in matters of fortification.
The narrow peninsula on which this
queen of southern fortresses rears itself
is only about 15 miles in circumference.
It is the bowl of a’- extinct volcano. The
lofty hills around are the remains of the
crater sides, and of these, Shem Shem has
has an altitude of nearly 1,800 feet. All
food and water for use on the peninsula
has to be brought in from the outside.
Much of the water is supplied from the
government condensers, which were de
signed to make the fortress independent in
case of war's necessities. The population
of ‘4,00) Is a mixture of all the elements of

-S that they are created artificially by i
bankers. At the moment there are two 1
bankers, but two, he believes, who are re- I
sponsible for modern wars. If these be
plucked then wars in our day will cease.
Mr. Ford asserts he knows who these
bankers are, and that he, personally, Is
going to see that the “tooth is pulled.”
He would not reveal the names of these
bankers, nor explain the method by which
he is to pull the tooth.
Doesn’t Believe In Patriotism.
Mr. Ford asserted that he has found a
permanent remedy for warfare, which he
refused to reveal, saying that in due time
1 should learn what it is. This he said he
would put into effect, but seemed unable
to say when. When I sought to follow up
these and other assertions equally vague
I was invariably met by his refusal to
divulge what he had in mind; I was ab
jured to wait and see.
One clew to his thought may be got
from his reply to my likening the external
need for a defensive military force to the
internal need for an armed police, w'hich
was that the police needed neither their
clubs nor their revolvers; that the law
could be enforced without any
Then, in the same breath, he asked If *
was a deputy sheriff, saying that he
all of his men were deputy sheriffs and
that it was my duty also to be one.
When the word patriotism was touched
upon Mr. Ford burst out with the asser
tion that he did not. believe In patriotism,
that no man is patriotic, and that the
word patriotism is always the last resort
of a scoundrel. To my inquiry as to what
he would do in the event of war he re
plied that even if we were to be invaded
he would not make a dollar’s worth .i'
arms for the United States. As I wished
that there should be no mistake -as to his
meaning, I put the question three times
and three times got the same answer.
Finally, I said: “Mr. Ford, on your roof
are three American flags. On seeing them
it hurt me to think that beneath them
there was a man who is spending vast
sums, amassed under their protection, to
ruin the defenses of his country, arid lay
it open to a possibly hostile world.’’ To
this he replied: “When the war is over
those flags shall come down, never to go
up again. I don't believe in the flag; it
it something to rally around.”

Cost of Popularity.
From the Washington Star.
David Lloyd George, the British min
ister of munitions, was the idol of the
trade union classes before the war. and
lie will probably be their idol again after
the war: but just now on account of his
advocacy of conscription, he is under a
cloud.
Henry Taylor, the British consul to Du
luth, said of Mr, Lloyd George the other
day: “If he's unpopular now, it’s because
lie was -so very popular before. His case
is like that 01 the young lady.
“ 'What makes Marie so disliked?' one
girl asked another.
" ‘Why, don't you know.' the other an
swered 'She got the most votes at the
bazar for being popular.’ "

Mrs. Juneb,ride—It's .lust that. 1 married
him to reform him. and now I find that he
never needed reforming.*’
Convicts as Road Builders.
From the Kansas City Star.
The splendid roads about Denver and
through the now Colorado National Park,
are due to convict labor. The state peni
tentiary lias found the convicts make good
workmen and that they are trustworthy.
Convict camps are so numerous that they
hardly attract the attention of Colorado
tourists.
Missouri could have one of the greatest
road systems in the country if it wouid
use its motor ear license fund and its con
victs to build permanent highways.
As It Usually Turns Out.
From the Birmingham Age-Herald.
"Asphodelia Twobble says she will never
marry a man who doesn’t own at least
two houses—a town house and a country
house."
"Bet her dream.”
"yes?"
“It would be cruel to suggest that what
fate has in store for her is a grocery
clerk for a husband and two light house
keeping rooms for a domestic establish
ment.”
A Natural Mistake.
From the New York Sun.
"Why didn’t you interfere when the
c ook i based the waiter with cleaver and
the waitress yelled murder?”
"I'thought it was an ordinary cabaret
feature. I couldn't understand what the
waitress was yelling. 1 thought she was
singing.”
PLEASED THE WOODPECKER
Bird Takes Kindly to Tin Barricade
Erected Against Its
Peckings.
Mrs. John Pozer of Main street,
Newton, N. J., feared that a line shade
tree on her lawn would be killed by a
woodpecker that appeared there every
day and pecked away at a hole which
he was making larger and larger.
Therefore she had her husband tack
a sheet of tin over the hole when the
bird was absent.
Refusing to be discouraged and pre
tending he does not know the differ
ence, the woodpecker now goes to the
tree every day and pecks away like
a trip hammer on the tin sheet. The
neighbors are nearly crazy with the
noise, and there is a law against kill
ing woodpeckers.

"His Own Lawyer.”
Over and over again, the wisdom
of the adage, "A man who is his own
lawyer has a fool for a client,” and
the understanding that inspired the
injunction, "Physician, heal thyself,”
are established in the courts. Every
lawyer is familiar with many instances
in which the wills of distinguished
jurists have been set aside because
they were improperly drawn, and it is
a matter of pretty common knowledge
that few doctors can diagnose their
own ailments.
Another exemplification now ap
pears in the conflict about the will
of the late Dr. Austin Flint. He was,
perhaps, more frequently employed as
an expert witness as to testamentary
capacity than any other alienist in
the country. Questions of mental fit
ness, of intent, of motive and of the
other attributes of a “sound-disposing
mind’’ were before him constantly.
Yet he drew his own will so ambigu
ously, so obscurely, that his executors
have been compelled to invoke the aid
of the court to determine what the
learned testator meant.—Richmond
Times-Dispatch.
Purity and Grime.
"This is a striking piece of sculp
ture. Let's see what the title is.”
"Well?”
"It's called ‘Purity!’ and is dated
'1906!’ ”
"That isn't complete.”
"No?”
"The full title should be, 'Purity, As

mulation of Soft Coal Soot.’ ”

“Before I answer your question, Mr. i

know that the railway company al
