PROVIDENCE, June 27. 1908.
Vrban collects for women became a
necessity of city lite a few years ago.
Usually they started as "annexes" of
the larger universities which have
grown up in the industrial centres
and gave young women living in the
immediate vicinity a chance to get
the benerit of instruction offered by
world famous teachers. The gradual
transformation of these colleges into
national institutions have proved the
wisdom of locating them near the
libraries and laboratories of leading
universities and among the activities
of busy commercial communities.
There are in general, without refer
ence to the co-educational institu
tions, two types of colleges for wo
men. The older ones were usually
nlaeed at some distance from a large
city, for when college education for.
lege education to these young men
and women who from one cause or
another must get their education at
home or' go without.1 It becomes
especially important if the college be
a women's college. Girls can leave
home lesseasily than boys. Parents
are less apt to see the necessity of a
colelge education for their girls than
their bovs. and arc unwilling to in-"
cur the greater expense of sending
them awav to colleee. For many
girls there are home cares from which
the boys are exempt and from many
is demanded a contribution to the
life of the household from which the
hovs are readilv excused.
If the women's colleges founded to
fulfill this purpose it has been dis
covered that the advantages of the
location tend more and more to cause
the institutions very shortly to cease

HOUSE OF GOVERNOR.
Probably the most important and
far-reaching act of President Roose
velt's career will prove to be the call
ing together of the governors of
states to confer upon the best meth
ods of preserving our natural re
sources and co-operating in other
matters which need uniform state
laws. The effect of the conference
are already widely felt, and it will
not be surprising if even Uncle Joe
concludes that the government must
have some stringent forestration
laws, and have 'em rmick. James J.
Hill's speech presented an array of
grim and horrifying facts marching
straight upon us. May they give
Uncle Joe nightmares prodigious and
prolific, until he wide-awakes to the
sharpness of the public needs. Until
he helps push through measures re
serving every available foot of forest,
and compelling some degree of dis
gorgement by those who have trick
ed the public out of huge slices of its
timber, and coal and iron. As soon
n these laws are passed let Joseph
nntion bend his energies to passing
yet other laws and appropriations for
immediate reforestation of denuded
and eroded lands. Then we'll call off
the nightmares and maybe consider
Toe as a presidential possibility.
Ricrhr here let me sav. u you, my
reader, are not white hot in favor of
immediate and radical legislation on
these lines it is because you are not
awake! Maybe your nose is on tne
grindstone. Get it off a while and
help, or your children won t have
noses at all. Go read "The Slaughter
of the Trees," in May Everybody's.
And write the Forestry Department,
Washington, to send you all their
pamphlets, on forestry and coal and
iron land matters, and to mail you a
public report of that governor's con
ference and all the speeches, particu
larly Jim Hill's, just as soon as they
can be printed. If those don't give
you nightmares and wake you Up to
work and vote for adequate laws then
you are a hopeless mucker.Eliza

ICE FROM PRESSED SNOW
"Artificial ice from water by the
mmonia process has long been an
established industry, but I have per
fected a method by which I can make
ice of any thickness or shape desired
for use, ornament or amusement,
from suow or broken pieces of ice,
by the simple application of pressure.
"For amusement I have turned out
many shapes and sizes of ice. I have
made molds that turn out tumblers
fro mwhich water can be drunk, pitch
ers, butter dishes and hollow tubes of
ice pipe. SmalJ ices can be made
with figures of portraits imbedded in
them for individual butters at the
table. 1
"For large cakes of ice hydraulic
presses are necessary. T?y using such
presses four cakes can be pressed into
one. All that is necessary it to wet
them and apply the pressure."
