WOOD MAY GET POST. If Released by the University of Pennsylvania. Washington, Aug. 13?Nomination of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood as gov? eraor general of the Philippine islands awaited today action by the University of Pennsylvania to release him from his promise to become provost of the institution, but his service is the islands may not last more than a year. Secretary Weeks said today that General Wood had yielded reluctantly to urgings that he accept the governorship, preferring to follow his original purpose of seeking private employment. It might well be, u- WooVo arlHorl +Vint. nhnuld the university authorities consent to the change in plans, General Wood would remain only a year in the islands, then come home t^ take up his deferred work at the university. Secretary Weeks said the governor of Pennsylvania had taken up the matter with the university authorities and that an early favorable re' ply was expected. The officer would remain on the active list of the army on detached service, Mr. Weeks added, and receive the pay of governor general during his service in that capacity.

BULL SNAKE TO HELP Will Eat All Gophers on Acre S?yi Expert. Manhattan, Kan., Aug. 14.?A full crown bull snake in a Kansas alfalfa field is worth at least $2.50 c month to the farmer on whose land he lives. This is the statistical deduction of experts at the Kansas state agricultural college here. They arrive at it in this way: There are on the average six gophers to the acre and" they damage the alfalfa crop to the extent of about $2.50 a morfth. A bull snake of this kind can keep an acre free. The calculation are those of F. L. Hi saw, mammalogist at the college, and J. B. Rogers of its zoology department. "A full grown bull snake," says Mr. Hisaw, "is capable of eating all the gophers on an acre of alfalfa in one month and during the six months of the year is able to clear six acres. [ "Alfalfa growers should take serious thought of the economic importance of these harmles snakes. By protecting them a great deal of time and money can be saved in trapping and poisoning gophers and other rodents. ^ "The bull snake feeds on rats and mice when around the barn or granary. The only return he asks for his loyal and valuable service is the right to live an undisturbed life. ?^ ruvnom JJI?j 9 1 IV^IVJ onu J bi/ Wtilun|to& Luabermen Put One Over Japanese. Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 14.?The fact that the Japanese tariff taxes lumber per stick, instead of per board feet has resulted in the cutting of some extremely large timbers here. Recently one mill shipped to Japan timebrs 36 inches square and 40 feet long which weighed six tons. They will be out into lumber upon their arrival in a Japanese port. The largest piece 'of timber that can be cut here, it is said is a stick 48 inches square and 110 feet in length. Such a timber would weigh about 15 tons and cjauld not be loaded on a vessel. Pumps!

Hitchcock, Nebraska, to. day sought support for his plan to t make the American dollar the in[ ternational language of the financial i world. His plan is to make the dolt lar an international coin. ( "Money talks," declared Senator Hitchcock, "and I want to see the 1 American dollar made the financial J language of the world." To do this Mr. Hitchcock has in- ^ troduced a bill in the senate to create a bank of nations in New York which would issue an international dollar. f The creator of the international ^ dollar idea pushed aside a series of ^ charts showing the much-mussed-up j wforld financial condition to give an interview. i He gazed at the ceiling for a mot . ment and whistled a few bars of "Reuben, Reuben, I've Been Think- ^ m. , "Music," he exclaimed, as the j thought struck him. "There frfcu are. j It"s a universal language. An opera star sings in French, Italian, Ger- j man. The words are lost to us, but t we all understand the music. So it is j with world finance. { "Som Jones, out in Nebraska, r wants to sell his corn, and Beppo Gi- j ovanni, over in Italy; and Karl ^ Schmidt, in Germany, wants to buy j it. They do not speak the same j tongue, but money talks. "At their present depreciated val- \ ues and shifting exchange, tne lire i and the mark, and all European mon- f ey, may be said to whisper.

MEN AS HOySEKEEPERS No Rmiob Why They Can't Learn To Sew and Cook. Washington, Aug. 14.?"There is no reason why a man can't learn to sew, knit, darn and cook, it women have learned to practice law, medicine and other professions hitherto monopolized by men," says Mrs. Edna L. Johnston, prominent suffrage leader and welfare worker, who believes that the husband of the future will be a model seamstress and housekeeper, in addition to holding i regular job., . v Mrq JnVino+nn wVin xvna pnncrrAS jional chairman of the Equal Suffrage Association of New Hampshire ind was manager of the first United States employment office opened in tfew York City during the war, lolds that accomplishment is not a natter of sex, nor dependent upon t, but a matter of qualification re* jardless of sex. She pictures the future husband as making the jaby's clothes, cooking, washing, roning and doing the family mendng right along with his wife. "The men surely do not want to et the women get ahead of them in ;he matter of "accomplishments," Urs. Johnston suggests, "and if they issume the attitude of the average nan that they should stick to what las been hitherto considered man's vork, while the women go ahead and earn their"s too, that would surely tappen. "But I am happy to say that this s not happening. The men are earning the domestic arts. Not in'requently do we hear of men deligners, cooks, etc., and they are loing this in addition to their reguar men's work." Mrs. Johnston pointed to the fact hat one man, Charles F. Champlin if Chicago, went into a break bakng contest with 45 women at the Svanston, (111.) County Fair and caried away the first prize, while neary every town has its firemen who ire accomolished in the arts of knit ing or embroidering.

"Because men have always been engineers or electricians, and women mothers, stenographers or housekeepers, Borne still think the division of work should be sustained. Why continue this foolish custom? "It is the medical opinion that if women have pronounced positive qualities and men negatives, it not infrequently happens that their talents and qualifications are reversed despite the traditional division of work. "Thus we have women lawyers, women politicians, women bankers and men artists, sculptors, designers, 1* J xL . 1f_i. A ? J ana so one a own me ubs.
