Washington Preacher Fears Women Are Becoming- Ama zons and Will Cease to Charm Men. Dorothy Dix Says: Don't Worry; Women Can Attain No State of Evolution Where They Will Cease to Attract Men. By DOROTHY DIX. A Washington preacher is greatly con cerned over the future of the American woman, because he thinks that sho is to become a dusky Amazon, who will have no charms for man. Ho says' "American women insist on playing tennis, running, riding, ( walking and swimming. Thcso things aro giving them un undue physical de velopment. They aro going to have chests that will stand out. ljkn a college athletes, and their necks Mill no longer be graceful and pretty, but thick and full of hard muscles. They will be healthy specimens. hut whero will their tender, womanly grace be? They will bo robbed of tho soft fcmlnlno beauty that appeals to man." Cheer up, brother. There's no use in worrying over women attaining any stato of evolution In which they will not at tract men, for whatever they are. men will like them that way. "Whether women mako themselves over to conform to the tastes of men, or whether men's tastes, aro so catholic and Accommodating that they embrace anything feminine. Is as Insoluble a conundrum as which cams first, the egg or the hen. The fact remains, however, that no matter how much women have varied In different countries, ages and condi tions, that the men of those different countries, ages and conditions thought the ladles Just exactly right, and were suited by the.n to a T. For 'Instance, In the Orient where tho women run to fat. i feather bed figure Is the ideal feminine pulchritude and the plumper the lady the more she Is admired. In our country, on the contrary, the telephone post Is the accepted standard of beauty In womanly archltectlre, and our men vfn with each other in showering attentions upon the maiden's who bear the closest resemblance to the living skeleton. Therefore, the preacher who fears that women- will cease to be attractlvo to men it they acquire thick necks and 'the general physique of longshoremen, need borrow no trouble from the future. Women will not become that type of female unless they know beforehand that men will admire them, and if they do become it men will laud that as the perfect beauty. It will also be comforting to the par son to reflect that men's taste in women has changed as much as the women themselves, and that the man of today would no moro marry a girl who was Just like hl grandmother than ho would wear his grandfather's coat. For instance, in the Lydia Languish days it wan considered the proper thing for ft girl to be very delicate and fragile and for her to swoon away whenever anvthlne unexpected happened. Invalid- brass-buttoned Santa Claus a Myth to This Child Old-Fashioned Mother Has Latter Day Ideas Ism was an elegant accomplishment, and all the old novels have moving chapters in which the hero Is described as sitting by tho heroine's couch and holding her wasted hand In his, while he urged her to marry him, and told her how he would nlwnys be her devoted nurse. Cun you Imagine a man of today fall ing In love with that kind of a woman? You cannot. Nobody can. The girl that attracts him U not the feeble creature who has to lean on j-oniebody'a arm In order to walk a quarter of a mile. It is the athlete maiden who can trarnp across country half a day and be fresh as a daisy at the ciid, or who can take her oar In a boat, or beat him out h( Nor would a swoon, however-j artis tically pulled off, make a hit with a modern young man. "Weak hearU high priced specialists; different climate 'and altitude not for muh!" Is tho way he would diagnose the case to himself and render his verdict. Still less would the Invalid appeal' to him. for he would not let himself In for a lifetime of nursing a .sickly and fretful wife and paying doc tor's bills if ho knew It. Ir. Yither.days It was iteemcd grosi for a woman to admit to having such ft thing as an appetite concealed about her person, and It was thought that it would shatter a man's romantic Ideal of her if he saw her partake of a square meal. I know of one authetlcated case or a lady who carried this theory so far that. desiring to always be a poetic ngure in her husband's mind, she never permitted him to see her eat ft single time during the forty years of their marriage. Tradi tion says that the husband rewardeel this heroic self-sacrifice, as he should, by always remaining the perfect lover. But fancy a man now with a wire wno wouldn't eat with him! Why, he'd call in the alienists to examine her mind bo- fore tho day was over. Nor would any young man nowadays Irresistibly drawn to a girl who didn't take the proper In terest In food and good cooking. HeV, surmise that she would be a little short in the housekeeping line. Men'a ideals as to what Is attractlvo In a woman mentally liavo changed Just as much, as their Ideas as to what was physically attractive In women. The chief argument, that used to be advanced against educating girls was that no man would want to marry a young woman who knew as much as ,he did. Ignorance was thought to" bo the .most potent feminine charm, and the bigger goose a girl acted thp better thance she had to get a husband. Today tho silly fool doesn't charm man. Bho bores him stiff. Men want their sweethearts and their wives to be com panions, able to understand the things the- are Interested in, to discuss Intelli gently the big books and problems of the hour. Tho tenth is that men change, and women change with them, or women change and men change with them, and each sex meets the demands that the other makes upon It. However, nobody reed lose any sfecp over fearing that if women ever get to be big and strong, and huskf they will cease to attract men. According to the legends that have come down to us from the past, ?ven the Amazons weren t all old maids. Hair Stops Falling, Dandruff . Disappears 25 Cent "Danderine" Save Your Hair!

X Advice to the Lovelorn Ujr BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Ity CMKRKTT V. HK.RV18S. An observant friend of mine has been noticing the lights displayed by ap proaching tia'ns on tho elevated rail road, and he has remarked that tho red and yellow aro visible sooner, or ut a greater distance, than tho green or blue, although tho Intensity of the Il lumination behind tho various colored glasses Is tho snme. This observation touches upon some very Interesting .facts concerning tho visibility of tutors to the hu- Inhn eye. Light. iiko round, is a Ibratlon, and colore, llko tone, depend upon the wave lengths, or the rapidity of the vibrations. The slowest vibrations of sound that are audlbln to tho human ear occur at tho rate of sixteen to the second; the slowest 'Ibratlons of light that are visible to tho human eye occur at the rate of about 428.00,000 per second, nnd they sjiow tho color red. N The most rapid vibrations of sound that our cars can detect have a rate of 3S.OW per second; the most rapid vibra tions of light that our ewes can per- clve have a rate of 731 million million per second, and the color that they present In violet. The vibration of sound occur In the nlr, or In solid or liquid bodies; those of light occur in what scientific men have named the ether, which Is a suppoBltltous medium pervading al space, nnd which according to somo authorities. Is 1.0)) million million times less dense than air. although the .phenomena of light would seem to Indicate that the elasticity of the ether resembles that which would he possessed by nn absolutely Incomprc. slblo solid! The ether is too mysterious a thing to be discussed hero, but there is no doubt that it does convey the vibra tions that produce light. There is no doubt, too, that there mlsht be eyes, differently constructed from ours, which could perceive vibrations both slower anil swifter than those whlrh affect us Just- as there may b ears (among Insects, for Instance), which per celvo sounds that are too shrill for our organs of liesrlng. There qrn vibrations of the ether, too rapid to affect tho eye. which are perceived nnd recorded on photographic plate. We may suppose that there are insects, or other beings, that can actually see these ultra-vlolst light waves, ruj they aro called, but it Is Impossible to Imagine what color they prrsent. It may bo something far mjr cxqulrito than any color that we ovtr see. To return to tho colored lights on th-1 elevated railroad trains, wo may -murk that thu red mid yellow rnys con sist of comparatively long ether wavei, vibrating relatively slowly, nnd thero long, slow wavcH seem to possess mote penetrating poiver than the shorter, and swifter waves that cause tho sensatioi of green, blue, or violet. If a white llctii shlneu through a fog It assumes a red dish color, becnuse tho short wavils thai It contains are Intercepted, whlta th longer, and, In a scpsc, stronger red rays get through and show themselves. This Is the reason why the un when at tho point of setting appears of nn orange, or reddish, color. "When It I" overhead its light has to traverse n thickness of atmosphere and vapon about thirty times less than that which 11 must traverse at sunset; tho consequent Is that the sun at noon appears bllndlnglv white, all the colors getting through more or less compcltely and mingling together, while at sunset tittle more than tho red rays are ablo to penetrate the great mass of Interposed nlr and vapors, and ru the. sun looks' red and comparative!) faint. The bluenes of the sky Is due to th fact that whlln the long red nnd yellou rnys pass readily through tho atmos phere, many of tho short blue and violet rays ara scattered by the minute par ticles of tho air, or the particles floating In It. nnd from them aro reflected to out eyes. Nenr sunset the sky turps orange, or red, because then the bluo rays are largely cut off lieforo they reach thw layers of atmosphere directly over uh. and tho water drops In the ptaudH. and th vapors about thorn, reflect only th oningu and red rays, thus giving their t'jtio- to the sky. !?oim;tlmes at sunset the whoto ntmos phero resembles an Immense screen Pllxmatlu colors, beginning, overhear, with blue, then turning, green lowet down, down, then still lower, ant flnalfy ted near tho horizon. The one common source of all this magnificent display ol colors is the white light of the sun whose waves, of various longths nnr nrIoiis rapidities of vibration, are trans mitted and reflected In varying degrees by the atmosphere and tho vapors float Ing in It. If we lived upon a world revolvitu rovind one of the red or blue suns which hu know to exist In space, we should en Jy no such spectacles, far there light could bo of only one color, consisting of one single wavo length, which could not be dlvjdod, and everything about us flowers, trees, grass would appear either black or of the prevailing hue of tho monochromatla (tingle-colored) sun which lighted us.
