retty Yards
EL PASOANS deserve congratulation on the manner in which they have de-
veloped the horticultural side of the city in the past few years. Any resi-
dent who has been here sir or seven years can recall the time when a yard
with flowers grass and trees was a rarity so much so that people talked about it.
Now it is a rarity to see a bare yard and .they are only found where the occu-
pants of the places take little or no pride in their city or their surroundings.
El Paso is distinctly a city of home lovers as is demonstrated by its. beautiful
yards and practically everybody now appears to take a pride in improving the
landscape with something green. The city has set a good example in the excellent
care it gives its parks; the railroads have done their share in watering nurturing
and caring for numerous grass plats about their stations and office buildings and
the citizens have nobly done all that might be expected of them.
c Considering the trouble required to grow a garden in El Paso the showing is
remarkable. Very little grows unless it is irrigated and carefully looked after
yet the people give it the attention it deserves and have more greenery than many
cities more favored with rain it seems to be peculiar of the west that what the
peeple set est te do they do well; neglect and slight appears not to be in their
vocabulary. .They know that if they are going to have pretty yards they must
work; that they must care for them; that the grass must be trimmed regularly
aad watered often with 'system and that the flowers and shrubs must have even
mere attentien. "With this knowledge they give their plants and flowers the
attention they require.
In regions more favored with rain the people seem to "trust to luck" in so
many instances that the result is a few pretty yards a lot of half-way pretty
oaes and a lot that are unsightlyeither grown up with weeds half dead grass
aad masses ef unattended vines or dry and parched and looking worse than if
entirely rmde of shrubbery.
A trip through any of the cities east of El Paso San Antonio Dallas Hou3-
ten and GalvestOH in Texas and the larger cities in the east that boast -of the
ready growth of their vegetation and it will readily be seen that not one of them
will compare with El Paso in the number of really pretty yards and in very many
ef them particularly in the Texas towns in the residential sections the sidewalks
have overgrown with weeds and bushes. It makes the streets look ragged and
unkempt and distracts even from the yards that are given care and attention.
In those towns it is notable how very few yards are given the necessary
care. Ordinarily there is nearly enough rain to keep the plants and grass growing
"and it costs so much to run a hose" they will say so the plants are left alone.
If the rain comes in time well and good the plants grow and so do the weeds in
the streets. If it fails to rain the yards wither and parch and die but the weeds
appear to have a habit of growing anyhow so "that with parched and burned
shrubbery and 'a weedy street in front many residences are even unsightly when
they might be beautiful.
In El Paso and the west we know that we have to work for what we get in
the line of flowers and shrubbery; we know that we have to sprinkle and wa
count in the cost of the hose as a matter of necessity; we appreciate our yards
and shrubbery because we have to work for them; where they grow so easily
there is less appreciation. This seems the solution. The result is 4hat El Paso
has few cities its equal in beauty from the standpoint of front yards lawns parks
and parkways. )
Let us not neglect what we have but let us add more to it and make the
city mere beautiful. If your neighbor is one of those who has neglected to put
out a lawn or garden get him interested if you can and spread the work. Next
year El Paso should not have a yard without its greenery.
THE correct English version of thla
popular name is Susannah but
the spe'lling in Scripture was:
Schuschannah. This Hebrew word
means "lilly" and the white lily Js her
emblem. Purity her sentiment.
St. Jerome wrote a learned disserta-
tion to show that the story of Susan-
nah and the eldera is apocryphal that
Is not genuine nevertheless it has been
pictured and sung about like few others
and will probably retain its hold on
the Imagination of artists for a long
time to come.
A Susannah was one of the holywo-
men at the sepulchre and the Catholic
church has two saints named Susannah
girl martyrs. l
Queen Susannah was known In her
time as the "Lily of Tiflis." She is
and tohave been martyred by the
Moslems.
St. Susan is the patron saint "who
saves from infamy and reproach."
English alternatives: Susan Surney
and Sue.
The French have: SuzsTnne Suzette
and Suzen..
Soza is a rather attractive Swiss
form of the name. In south Germany
Sanrl and Sandrl are popular among
the peasant girls.
Suse (sound every letter) Is used
most often in Germany. Sanng and
Susette are affected by some but Sus-
chen (pronounced Soozjen) is the reign-
ing diminutive.
Susi with the accent on the last let-
ter Is heard In- the Swiss Alps.
Queen Wilhelmina owns Rembrandt's
famous painting of "Susannah and the
Elders."
Another Rembrandt representing the
same subject hangs in the Old Berlin
museum.
Rubens immortalized the subject on
a big canvas now at Munich.
Handel wrote an oratorio called:
"Susannah."
There Is a famous old Scottish song
dealing with some fabulous Susan to-
wit: N
This Moore he had but ane daughter
Her name was called Susie Pjre;
And every day as she took the air.
Near Belchams prison gaed she by!
Susan lady Bellasysee who was se-
cretly wedded to the duke of York
brother of Charles IL Is portrayed
among the "court beauties" at Hamp-
ton palace London. "Beauties" prob-
abbly stands for "ladies" for Susan's
picture is conspicuous for nothing but
lack of beauty. In contemporary
prints shp is described as "Pocky
BeHasyee." Pepys mentions her and
other great ladies "sitting in a new
coach eating bread and butter and
drinking ale'
Susan Anthony with her full name
Susan Brownell Anthony advocated
the civil rights of women and female
suffrage long before many of the presj
ent suffragettes were born. I remem-
ber seeing her lecture in men's evening
dress at Chicago in 1877. She was then
57 years old being born at Adams
Mass. February 15 1820.
Suzanne Adams Is an American grand
opera singer now devoting1 her talents
to vaudeville. She is a native of Cam-
bridge Mass. and Mrs. Leo Steijn in
private life. She made her debut at the
grand opera Paris- as Juliet in 1894
and appeared under Grau at the Metro-
politan opera house and Covent Gar-
den. The late queen "Victoria was "one
of her patrons.

El Paso Needs Advertising
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS would not be too much for EI Paso to
spend in advertising during the next year. The smaller towns around El
Paso have awakened to the necessity of advertising for people to come in
and make their homes and help build up the community. El Paso must do the
tame thing.

HERE are at least 400 colleges in
the United States where women
enjoy the same educational ad
vantages as men. -Excluding the Cath-
olic theological institutions SO per
cent of all the men's colleges in Amer-
ica are to some extent coeducational.
In addition to these coeducational ad-
vantages must be considered the very
large number of colleges exclusively
for women. Among these are "the four
great colleges for women" Vassar
Smith Wellesley and Bryn Mawr
which are included among the 58
leading colleges of America. They are
listed among the colleges admitted to
the Association of Collegiate Alumni
and two of them Bryn Mawr and
Wellesley belong to the Federation of
Graduate clubs. Three of them Smith
Wellesley and Vassar rank among the
23 largest undergraduate colleges
while Vassar and Bryn Mawr are in-
cluded in the 29 colleges of the United
States possessing funds of $1000000
and upward.
The American Idea.
In addition to these four great col-
leges there is a long list ot smaller
ones In which young women may study
and take degrees with quite the same
facilities afforded their brothers. The
independent woman's college of the
same grade as those for men is an In-
stitution peculiar to the United States.
Vassar college founded by Matthew
Vassar in 1865 as an institution which
would accomplish for young women
what colleges do for young men is the
first of the woman's collesres which
sprang up so rapidly during the last
half century. Now the woman's col-
lege is recognized as an important
feature of education and its develop-
ment is quite as closely connected -with
the progress of the nation as is the
man's college. While the tendency to-
ward coeducation Is strong especially
In the middle west the woman's college
Is still (gaining in popularity and has
an increased ..enrolment which last
year reached" 900'0 requiring the ser-
vices of 943 instructors.
Women Provided For.
There is no country in the world
where so generous a provision has been
made for the'education of women as in
the United States despite or perhaps
because of the comparative youth of
the nation. While schools for .boys
occupy first attention as they have
done in Europe for centuries even in
colonial times education for girls was
not entirely overlooked. In Water-
town Conn. in 1659 when Richard
Norcross was engaged by the town
council to conduct a school to teach
the children "to reade & write and sow
much of Latin as may be desired by
the court" the contract contained the
additional proviso "Alsoe If at any
time sed towne have any maiden yt
have a desire to learne it the sed Bich-
ard Norcross shall attend them for the
learning of them."
While there is record of only three
girls who at that period availed
themeslves of the educational priv
ileges for which the township paid the
I came to Paris. It was more than 20
years ago. She was a little pale mfdl-
nette. Well we met very often for
many months and then I lost sight of
her until today. She recollected me at
once and spoke to me. She is about 40
now and she told me she had always
had bad luck is very poor and asked
me to help her get some work. I could
see that she was so weak that she could
barely walk. I did not know what to
say or do. She told me she did not
want money but only a little advice
and when I offered her 20 francs she
absolutely refused to take them and
left me standing there with the money.
She had given me her address before
however. I have not been able to think
of anything else since then and that Is
why I have been rather silent and ab-
sent minded.
"I am so glad you have told me
dear" said Mme Berney.
"Yes now that it is over I feel that
It was the best thing I could do."
There was a pause and neither of the
two touched the dinner. The maid
came in looked at them In surprise
and then cleared the things away. As
soon as she had left the room Mme.
Berney said:
"It is a matter you cannot very well
arrange yourself but If you don't mind
I will look up that woman."
"But don't you think it will be a
very unpleasant task to you dear?"
"No not at all. I want to see If this
woman really is as interesting as you
say and if she deserves to be helped
it would be wrong If we didn't help a
girl you once cared for but you must
promise me you will keep out of this
altogether. I have my own money
and I will be glad to do a little for a
woman who has perhaps been some-
thing to you before you knew me."
Somehow her tone did not seem quit
natural when she said the last words
but there was no sign of any emotion
in her face when her husband looked
up.
The next day Mme. Berney found the
address a very poor house in a narrow
street on the left bank of the Seine
where she asked the concierge to give
her some Information about the woman
she was looking for.
"Yes she lives here. She is in bed
today. She came back very sick yester-
day and now she is waiting for the
charity doctor. She is a good soul but
I am sure she will not last more than
another week-
Mme. Berney walked up the rickety
stairs and as the key was in the door j In.
nearly died with sorrow and hame.
"Xou can't imagine how I had to gather
all my courage to speak to him after
so many years. And the man I had
loved with all the strength of my
heart and who was so madly in love
with me was to meet meagain on the
street and think me a beggarr or per-
haps what is worse. Oh madame I do
so wish to die now. There is not a
soul in the world who would miss me!"
"Didn't he really give you anything?"
Mme. Berney asked.
"No never. He had nothing you
know. His mother paid his board and
gave him a little pocket money. When
he left me I pretended not to care i'
did it for his sake of course. I knew
he left me to get some money all
young men try to marry girls with
money but since then misfortune has
followed me but it is the most beau-
tiful memory of my life I have told
you."
"Now. first you must take this" said
Mme. Berney who took a 100 francs bill
from her satchel.
"It is too much madame."
A racking cough stopped her voice.
"You must not speak. I came from
the Charity society and you need not
even know my name I will send you a
doctor and In a day or two I will be
back to see how you are getting
along."
She hurried home from the poor
room to her own elegant apartments.
When her husband came home she felt
a disgust that almost amounted to
hatred against him and this man who
had loied another sworn to be faith-
ful to her and then run away seemed
a stranger. She and her dowry had
created his whole home and position
but had he ever loved her?
Mme. Berney could no longer hold
back her tears.
KIIiL.S HIS THREE CHILDREN
AXD THEN ENDS OWJV 1IFE
Thomaston Maine Aug. 29. Grief
over the death of his wife led Edward
Bennett an Englishman a graduate of
Oxford university who had been a
resident here for the last six years
to murder his three children and then
take his own life.
Two of the children were killed by
the use of chloroform and the third by
cyanide of potassium and chloroform.
To make his own death certain the

education in America. The other colo-
nial towns did not follow the example
set by Watertown to any material ex-
tent it being believed that girls wero
best educated in their home or In the
early dame school where the Three R's
were inculcated with more or less ac-
curacy. Nearly a century afterward a
little girl in Hatfield Massachusetts
whd went daily and sat on the steps of
ihe boys' school to listen to their
teachers In order that she too might
learn would have eagerly seized the
opportunity for higher learning given
to her own sex. The granddaughter
of that little girl lived to found Mt.
Holyoke seminary now a college
where girls receive a higher education
at rates so low as to make it practi-
cally a free school.
Coeducation la Free Schools.
In providing for the education of
girls in the public schools coeducation
was generally adopted through the
entire country very early in Its history.
With the exception of Philadelphia
and some of the eastern seaport towns
where the fact that schools already ex-
isted for boys led to the erection of sep-
arate buildings for girls the two sexes
have been educated almost entirely in
the same class room. That the results
have been excellent no one disputes
although lately a movement against
coeducation has developed especially
In the secondary schools.
Some of the .schools are trying the
experiment of segregating the sexes
although using the same study halls
and the results have proved so satisfac-
tory that it is likely that this will be-
come general during the next few
years.. The English high school of
Chicago experimented first in this di-
rection beginning with its entire
class in February. The program was
so arranged that while boys and girls'
met in the same division room and
studied in the same study rooms they
recited in separate classes. These
classes Were so distribitted that each
teacher taught a class of each sex.
This prevented the criticism that one
sex was given the advantage of a bet-
ter teacher. At the end of six months
a referendum was taken of the parents
on the two following questions:. "Do
you feel that your child was benefited
by the segregated class?" "Would you
advise that the plan be extended?"
The answers of 95 percent Of the par-
ents were in the affirmative and the
opinion of the teachers In charge was
such that the work is now being ex-
tended to the second year's class.
Separation of the Sexes.
The Cleveland Technical high school
is organized on a different plan. The
boys and grlls are In separate classes
with separate study halls. This ar-
rangement is not altogether for sex
reasons but because of the widely dif-
ferent classes of work. The shop work
of the' boys and the domestic work for
the girls differ widely. . Even those
subjects which they study In common
are differently applied.
The trend of popular opinion now
seems to be adverse to coeducation In
the higher school although It Is still
recognized as desirable for the elemen-
tary grades. The latest Idea is to keep
the boy and girl In the same school so
as to preserve the same""soclal environ-
ment but.to teach them In different
classes socms to adapt the work to the
highest needs of each.
The privileges now open to women
in the way of technical and profes-
sional training depend largely on co-
education which has grown to a large
degree in America and is constantly de- '
veloplng along new lines. The Unl-
students by sex primarily for the ad-
vantage of women -students. X.est this
movement be considered as restricting"
the privileges of women a special reso-
lution was passed providing that men
and women shall be equally entitled to
all classes of the university and that
there shall he no distinction on account
of sex in granting scholarships or fel-
lowships in any of the departments of
the university. The growing demand
fbr the higher education of women has
not been affected by the attitude of
any particular institution in regard to
coeducation.
Columbia's New Study. t
It is now recognized that vocational
training for women is of equal impor-
tance with that of men but that the
co'urses to be pursued are separate and
distinct In their scope. Columbia uni-
versity last year opened a new plant
for a school of household arts. It in-
cluded a laboratory and studios costing
considerably over $500000. This school
includes certificate courses in dietary
and other cooking interior decoration
home architecture dressmaking cos-
tume designing and kindred topics
The University of Wisconsin has made
a similar recognition of the demand
for better equipment lor womanly voca-
tions. It has supplied Xathrop Hall
a new building specially designed for
the needs of teaching home economics
the course being broadened to include
as many subjecfs.as possible.
As a result of the education provid-
ed for them the women of America
have done excellent service in pro-
moting the educational progress of the
nation. Since the organization of the
public schools was practically in their
hands credit is due to-them for almost
every advanced movement. A notable
example of the influence of women on
education Is Mrs. Ella Flagg Young
late president of the National Educa
tional association who is now serving
her second term as superintendent of
public Instruction In Chicago. Mrs.
Young was elected to the presidency of
xhe National Educational association
after a vigorous campaign and her in-
fluence in directing the work of that
great organization was quite- as marked
as is that exerted by her on the public
schools of Chicago- which now take
front rank in every department of ed-
ucational development.
Womea in Professions.
Aside from the profession of teacher
to "which women seem particularly
adapted their higher education haa led
to their admission to the learned pro-
fessions all of which have gradually
become open to them. There is no
branch of learning .now in existence-
which could not be studied by the
American woman if she so desires.
(Medicine law and theology opened
their doors to women a generation ago
but lately in conformance with the
trend of education towards Industrial
education women are turning their

M$ Does It Pay to
. Be Good?
A

arrangements for the separation of
YOUNG girl 17 years old look-
ing at life with the clear can-
did eyes of a child asks me
this question:
"DOES IT PAY A GIRL TO BE
GOOD?"
This girl is pretty and poor. She
has to work for her living. Her hours
of labor are long and hard and her
earnings only enough to pay for the
bare necessities of existence. She nas
few pleasures and no luxuries and
she sees the future stretching before
her an arid highway along which she
must toil footsore and weary cold and
hungry and discouraged.
Yet she has the natural impulses of
her sex within her. She- is no sense-
less and passionless machine. 'She is
all quivering throbbing girlhood. She
longs for pretty clothes to set off her
beauty for amusement for gayety
for feasting and dancing and love
making.
Wkat She Sees.
At her side In the shop this girl sees
Women flat chested anemic withered
toll worn who have worked from
youth to age in the treadmill. They
are good women models of impeccable
virtue. But their lives have been as.
drab and featureless as the black
gowns they wear. They have never
had a frill or a furbelow. They have
never had a frivolous gown or a jew-
el or eaten a meal In a smart restau-
rant. This girl sees other women. She
hears the clang of their automobiles
as they roll up to the door of the sh'op
and she sells -them embroidered silk
stockings or real lace or swishy satin
petticoats or $50 h'ats. Her eyes are
dazzled by the gorgeousness of their
gowns and the flash of their diamonds
and she listens enviously to their chat-
ter about theaters and suppers on roof
gardens and gay parties of a kind
she only reads about. She knows these
are not good women that a few years
or months ago they were poor work-
ing girls even as she Is and that they
dld not get their money by honest la-
bor. Nevertheless as she looks at them
and at the worn and weary women
who have trodden the hard "and nar
row road Instead of the primrose path
it is no wonder that she asks:
"DOES IT PAY A GIRL TO BE
GOOD?"
Yes It does pay a girl to be good
little .sister in spite of the fact that
appearances are against it. It pays In
many ways. One of these is your own
conscience. Believe me there Is just
one person whose self respect is ab-
solutely necessary to your happiness
and that is yourself. The day you lose
the ability to look yourself in the face
something has gone from you that
takes all peace and comfort with it
Does It Pay?
You covet the pretty clothes these
women wear: but you who sell bar-
gains In clothes consider this propo-
sition from a cold business standpoint
are a few willow plumes a few
yards of chiffon a jewel or two worth
the price of a woman's soul? Does it
t pay to walk in silb attire when yowr
suks cover a guilty heart and. other
women draw away their honest home-
spun skirts from your soiled finery?
Does it pay to mortgage your fatare
for a little-present pleare? Make no
mistake about this little sister. Whea.
you take the wrong turn ef the roa-d It
leads you away from all the natural
happiness that every goed woawji ss
a right to look forward to.
The kind of man you would IMce -to
marry will not be willing to marry
the sort of a woman that yoa have
become. He won't want- his chlldrea

use of drugs? It is to stimulate their
flagging spirits to force the laughter;
to their tired lips to which it no longer
comes naturally to simulate pleasure
when their hearts are dead with!
them. Or else it is to forget; to dead-
en memory and remorse to shut out
from. their own vision the plctare of
what they were and the sorrow aad
shame they have brought on the!
families. Truly little slatar there te

sin Is death literally as well as' figura-
tively for women. It takes only seven
years to send a. girl from the top to the
bottom of the toboggan slide of un-
lawful pleasure and the bottom is la
the grave or worse.
It pays to be good because oaly good
women get any decent treatmeat from
men. There are no other human beings
whose lives are so full of anxiety who
are so abused insulted and mistreated
as the women who are the toys and
playthings of men and whose conduct
gives men the right to treat them with-
out reverence or respect.
It pays to be good little sister first
and last and all the time because oaly
the good who have clean hands and
pure hearts have any real happiness.
