WHY WOMEN LOVE TO DRESS.
London Doctor Attempts Scientific
Analysis of Motives.
An attempt to analyze scientifi-
cally the motives which cause wo-
men to love pretty clothes was
made recently by a distinguished
London brain specialist, Dr. C. T.
Ewart, at a meeting of the Section
of Psychiatry of the Royal Society
of Medicine. • -
Dr. Envart, who is attached to an
asylum, instanced the case of 'a pa-
tient who suffered from. a 'washing
mania. For sixteen years she was
obsessed with the idea of walling
herself all day. ,:en attempting to
account fir her action,, Dr. Ewart
pointed out that of two t!oinen'who
loved to wear beautiful clothes, one
'might be actuated 'bythe merit de-
sire for self display,, whereas the
other received her 'impulses from
an aesthetic sense, her lovefor the
beautiful and delicate, The first,
Dr, Ewart argued, cottld be distin-
guished because she was a slattern.
when no one was present to' notice
her appearance. In addition, in
her case, the unseen parts ase her
apparel were usually of an .entire-
ly different order from those seen."
A woman whose love of dress was
due to 'a fine ,aesthetic sense be-
came, on the other hand, said the
lecturer; more and more particu-
lar about her clothing the more in-
timate its relation was to the body.
In .both cases, the doctor added,•
there was an emotional accompani-
ment, of elation following the putt-
tieg on of pretty, attractive gar-
ments, His "washing mania" Pa-
tient belonged' to the second, or
aesthetic type. Apprehending
cleanliness as beautiful, it gave
pleasure to her aesthetic sense,
eine:: she was constantly striving to
attain it,

IATTAEIUND THE :DUST [VI
GOOD 11ESULTS OBTAINED IN
YORKCOUNTY.
This Work Is Still in Experimental
Stage, But Oiling Seeins to
Be the Cure.
The return of warm dry weather
brings the dusty road into promi-
nence again, and from those who
happen to live near leading roads
complaints are loud and repeated.
Hardly a village is without its
watering -cart, and the people liv-
ing in towns are thus assured a
measure of relief, but to those out-
side, .and especially farmers with
valuable crops lying along the
highways, the dust nuisance has be-
come serious enough to demand the
greatest attention. Even the citi-
zens of the town find cause for fre-
quent complaint. The watering -
cart often proves quite unable to
cope with periods of prolonged heat
when the water evaporates almost
as rapidly as it falls on the hot
roadway. -
To residents of both town and
country the evil has become so in-
sufferable than any measures of re-
lief are heartily welcomed.
Experiments With Oil.
IN SCHOOL OF DANGER: A MOMENT OF GRAVE ILISK.
The dive illustrated has been slightly exaggerated by the London
Illustrated News artists that the warning signal given by the instruc-
tor, seated behind the pilot, may be shown clearly. The instructor in
the seat behind is striking his pupil on the top of his safety helmet to
warn him that he is causing the aeroplane to make a dangerous dive.
The drawing cannot fail to bring home once more the feet, wheal
should bo patent to all, that flying and the teaching of flying call for
the taking of grave rides. That so many military and naval men are
found to undertake the work is surely a most satisfactory answer to
those who are apt to say that the British fighting -man is showing a
tendency towards slackness. The drawing was made at the British
Central Flying School at Upavon. The aeroplane shown is Colonel
Seely's- "best"—the "B.E.3."
MOTHERS GO TO SCHOOL.
Assemble Two Afternoons a Week
in Adelaide, Australia.
In the centre of Adelaide, the
capital of South Australia, in a
daintily furnished cottage, with its
pretty back garden where the chil-
dren may play undisturbed, and
where rest may be found under the
shady awning, amidst cool, refresh-
ing,grapevinos, Adelaide mothers
congregate on two afternoons a
week at their own special school,
says the London Standard.
There they have their babies
weighed, co:upare notes, and: after
a• help -talk with those in charge,
during .which tea is dispensed, go
home cheered and invigorated, with
a little added knowledge• of their
infant and its needs. After. the
primary business of the afterno-on
(weighing the babies and entering
up the charts) is concluded, the
nurse superintendent incidentally'
chats with the mothers on the im-
portance of proper feeding, and in
the little model.kitchen, gives prac-
tical demonstrations on the care o£
the bottles, the proper methods of
preparing the artificial -foods, and
generally helping toe make the
school for ,imothers one in deed as
wellas in name. To those consul-
tetions comes the medical officer,
herself a busy woman doctor, giving
ungrudgingly of her precious, time'
to shoiv her interest and sympathy
with the mothers and ohildien. .
'The committee has recently or-
ganized

make far ,effiiciency in this impor-
tant ,service: This branch of the
work his scarcely passed the ten-
tative- stage, and it is difficult at
present to estimate the resides. The
duty of the visitor is to see the
infant in itehome, and to report to
the secretary any cases of neglect,

Deadly forces must be handled

J UNE 15.
Lesson X1.—Jacob betor:e Pharaoh.
Gen. 46, 28 to 47; 12, 28.51.
Golden Text, Rom. 8, 28.
The passage intervening between
this and our last lesson reeords the
events incident to the return of
Joseph's brethren to their father
in Canaan and the migration of
Jaeab and his entire household into
Egypt. It also contains a lint of
the male offspring of each of the
twelve sons of Jacob, giving the
total number of the combined
households se threescore and ten
souls. Having instructed his breth-
ren how to conduct themselves in
the presence of Pharaoh and what
to reply to any questions he might
ask concerning their occupation,
Joseph proceeds to arrange for a
formal presentation of his father
and a representative company of
his brothers to the king.
Yerse,.1., The jand of Goshen—
Probably the Egyptian Kesem,
about' forty miles northeast of
Cairo. (Compare The Lesson Text
Studies for June 8.)
2. Five men—Doubtless including
Reuben, Judah; and Benjamin,.
though the names of those selected
are not given. -
Presented them unto Pharaoh—
Introduced them to Pharaoh.
3. What is your.. .oecupation'l—
Apparently a customary question
put to all strangers presented at
court, though a question of impor-
tance also as 'affecting the disposi-
tion to be - made of so large a com-
pany of immigrants.
Shepherds—Their calling preclud-
ed them from association with the
higher classes of merchants, sold-
iers, and priests, and determined
also the°• section of the country in
which they might be permitted to
settle.. Fortunately fee them, and
thanks in part to the shrewdness
of their brother Joseph, their an-
nounced occupation destined them
to occupy during the remaining
years of famine the most produc-
tive and fruitful region of the en-
tire land.
0. Able men—Literally, men of
activity, meaning men of ability,
capable of having oversight of lar-
ger interests.
My
cattle --.Ancient Egypt was
famous for its fine breeds of cattle,
especially oxen, the ox being a
symbol of deity. The successive
Pharaohs possessed large herds,
and some of the inscriptions which
have been deciphered mention the
mer, the name which the officer
having supervision of the royal
herds was called.
7. Jacob blessed Pharaoh --Sal-
uted him solemnly with benedic-
dictions and best wishes for his
welfare. .
9. Few—Few compared with
those of Isaac, who lived to be one
hundred and eighty (Gen. 35. 28),
and Abraham, who lived to be one
hundred and seventy-five (Gen. 25.
7); still fewer when compared with
the ages of the patriarchs mention-
ed in Gen. 11; and very few indeed
as compared to those of the ante-
diluvians in chapter 5,, one ;f
whom, Methuselah, is reported to
have reached nine hundred and
sixty-nine.
Evil—The word recalls his early
exile, his strife with Laben, and
his subsequent successive experi-
ences of sorrow.
11. Placed his father and his
brethren—Gave them a dwelling
place.
The land of Rameses—So called
only in later times after Rameses
II, the Pharaoh of the Oppression,
had built cities and himself dwelt
in the eastern part of the delta.
The priestly writer, however, liv-
ing much later still, is free to refer
•to the district by either its earlier
or its later name,
12, Nourished his father, and his
brethren—Provided food for them
during' the remaining years of fam-
ine.

according to the number of their

In this connection the numerous
experiments that have been carried
on of late in various methods of
oiling roads have proven of great
interest. The practice of oiling the
roads, however, is 0.5 yet in its ex-
perimental stages.
The first test in Ontario was
made in 1909 when a residuum of
petroleum with a paraffin base was
used on the•str•eets of Toronto.
Numerous objections were raised at
the time to the odor of this prepara-
tion, but this passed off in a few
days, and after further experiment
the following year the practice was
continued and extended to other
parte of the Province.' In putting on paraffin oil such as
that first used in Toronto, an ordi-
nary watering -cart can be used.
In .some places a perforated gas
pipe attached to a common water
wagon has been found to do good
work on country roads. The oil
should be applied during warm dry
weather, as a cold road will not
draw the oil, and it will lie on the
surface in a loose lumpy formation.
Two applications early in the sea-
son and two later on have been
found :efficient to keep down the
dust. The number and time of ap-
plication must depend on the wea-
ther and the condition of the road.
About 1,500 Gallons a Milo
should suffice for the first two ap-
plications. The cost, of course,
also depends on the locality, but
should usually -run about four cents
a'gallon and one ,cent for applying.
As in many other .plisses of .road
work, local conditions dictate the
nature of treatment required. From
the experience of those who have
made this .Subject: a study, how-
ever, a number of practical sugges-
tions can be derived which are ap-
plicable. to all work of this nature.
Proper drainage should be se-
cured before oiling. A water.
waked sub -structure gives away
and breaks lip the surface. Care
should be taken not to use too much
oil. Over oiling a road makes it
spongy. The oiled road should be
kept in perfect repair. Ruts and
holes should be cleaned out, . oiled
and, filled with material the same 'as
that of which the road is made.
.his should he thoroughly packed.
Similar results are not to be ex-
pected on all roads. ' A• sandy loam
receives the oil treatment best.
Clay absorbs oil very slowly and
alkali soils Disintegrate the oil and
do not bind easily under its =tine.
As the road; becomes smoother less
oil will be -required on successive
applications.
In York Cottilly
the. Road Commission have -achieved
some excellent results in their num-
erous experiments with oil. . Mr. E.
A, James, the •chief engineer, in his
report on the work fee the year just
closed states that the cost per year
of applying oil at current prices
amounts to from. 8 to 15 per cent. of.
the original cost of the road 11 built
by day labor, or from 5 to 10 per
cent. if built by contract "There
are," he says, "malty varieties of
oil on the market for this purpose,
some of which are little hotter then
water, while others,.dtaving a bitu-
minous base, on the evaporation of

"ll0MESGAl'Plf," A NEW AND
PRACTICAL UTOPIA..
Description of English Experiment
Which Is Working
Smoothly,
Mr. Ebenezer Howard has made
an experiment at Letchworth Gar-
den City that calls' for the very
earnest attention .of every social re-
former and every ordinary house-
holder. He modestly named it, in
the columns of the Landon Daily
Mail, "A New Way of Housekeep-
ing." I would venture to pro'p'hesy
that in not many years to come hips
plan, with developments and im-
provemonts, will inevitably have to
be "the only way of housekeeping"'
for any but the wealthy. This fore-
cast is based an two obvious peabu- -
later—the difficulty of abtalning
efficient domestic service and the
growing consciousness that, juatt'aa
eo-operation is the secret of all
political, incluetrdal and commer-
cial achievement—eliminating wast-.
age and reduplication of work--eo
it is a remedy for needless toil and
wastage in private life. -
Home Life Is Private.
you look very like Hard Woi'k.
H tyittq said . this he slronned tate
dun'.
Who) ' a contrary matt agrees
with you it's a safe bet that, yen
are in wrong. .
Meat schemes of home reform
have been fantastic and visionary.
Their chief flaw has been that the "-
privacy and sacredness of "home"
are proposed to be jettisoned for
the doubtful amenities of life in
something like a socialistic Utopia.
There is nothing Utopia in Mr.
Ebenezer Howard's practical ex-
periment. It is actually working—
and working smoothly.
"Hoanesgarth," - ilhe cluster of
little houses and flats wherein co-
operative housekeeping is .being
essayed for the :first time, might at
first glance be a Low and long coun-
try mansion of the new English
domestic architecture. This is em-
phasized to make it clear that there
need be nothing ,of the "barrack"
aspect in co-operative households. '
Here is a block of sixteen houses
and flats, the ultimate plan. of
which, when complete, will be a
quadrangle enclosing a charming.
garden and surrounded by a sunny,
rose -clad colonnade. This colon-
nade leads from the separate pri-
vate entrances to the admiuistra-
Live building, common to the use of - all the tenants. The administra-
tive section comprises dining -hall,
tea-room, reading -room, smoking-
room, a large, airy, and finely'
equipped kitchen, an accommioda-
for the staff. There are also cloak-
rooms and lavatories, 'a cycle gar-
age and a telephone for local and
trunk calls. Subsidiary telephones
connect every house and flat sahib
the staff offices, so that meals can
be ordered if required and servede—
in the private homes at a slight ad-
ditional cost.
Rental Is Moderate.
The rents for the flats and houses
range from $200 to $320. The
smallest is a bachelor's sat of sit-
ting and bed -room, with bathroom
and small pantry. The largest is a
house with two sitting -rooms; three
bedrooms, bathroom, and little lcit-
chen-pantry. Gas stoves are in-
stalled for preparing light meals
and gas geysers for bathe.
I will pick the highest of these
rents - for examination of co-opera-
tive housekeeping. At first inipres-
siee the rent ma' seem dear for the
aceommodvtition, but slight invesitd-
getion shows that it is cheap for all
thatthe tenant gets. This inclusive
rent of $320 includes all taxes,
rates, and water; heat of moms by
hot-water radiators; upkeep of the
common garden of three acres;
heating, lighting, upkeep, and ser
vice of the public looms; boot, win-
dow and doorstep cleaning; and, of
course, the benefit of specialized
service and better cooking than in
any small private home..
