He has won fame by producing on his little farm in central Alabama the largest amount of cotton to the area ever grown in the United States. This is one bale to an eight of an acre of land. Sam McCall has developed a method of cultivation on once worthless land which is so successful that he thinks now of producing three or four hundred tons of an acre, or possibly bushels of an acre. When Sam was made free he bought land of the amount 160 acres. He cultivated forty acres and the first year he made hardly enough to keep himself. He concluded that with his limited equipment and in view of the fact that he was doing practically all his own work it would be wise for him to reduce the amount of land. He gradually brought his cultivated farm down to two acres, and for twenty-four years he spent all of his energy in what farm experts call one of the most interesting examples of the intensive farming carried out in the United States. According to his experience, study his methods, the reason for the exslave's success in agriculture is due largely to the fact that he has manufactured nitrogen in the soil unknowingly by feeding the soil bacteria with carbohydrates and cellulose, coming from the refuse of the crops. McCall's land is part of an abandoned farm. Before he began to cultivate it the soil was perhaps as bad as any that can be found on any farm in the southern states. The former slave knew nothing of scientific methods of cultivation, but he was a good observer. He noticed white farmers in his section gathering leaves in the fall to spread over their land to be used for the production of the word humus, but he concluded the white farmers knew what they were doing and he followed suit. He later decided to use the refuse of all crops as fertilizer. At the time he began to cultivate his land commercial fertilizers were little known, and the exslave has never used of them.—Dawson (Texas) News. Asphalt was known to the ancients, and this material is said to have been employed as a binder in a masonry by the Babylonians. The business and professional Negro men of Chicago are considering the advisability of organizing a national Negro exposition and semi-centennial to be held in this city in 1915. The purpose of the exposition is to exploit the skill of the Negro craftsman and, presumably, to show how greatly the Negro has progressed in civilization since his emancipation in America. It is an excellent idea and it is to be hoped that it will be carried out. The year 1915 will mark a half century since the American Negro has been free. In that time he has accomplished a great deal, but the full story of his accomplishment is not as well known outside of his own race as it should be. An exposition such as the one proposed in the story will be vividly than in any other way, and it is a story not only worth the telling, but highly necessary to be told. At such an exposition the country will be enabled to see with its own eyes what the negro has done and what he is capable of doing—Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Hotel Brotherhood, the largest colored organization of hotel, restaurant and club employees in Philadelphia, celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of its organization. The brotherhood was formed 30 years ago by the waiters and bellmen in the several hotels, restaurants and clubs, its objects being to be of mutual help to both employers and employees. It has steadily grown until its membership numbers 600 of the most reliable employees in this line of work. Their headquarters, which they own, has just been renovated to considerable expense, and was with the reopening, to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary, which was celebrated by a large outpouring of the members, their wives and friends. High living never qualifies one for the higher life.

Either will prevent the entrance of moles into the bed. A municipal bus line in Detroit is operated on a three-cent fare basis.

Separation of the white and the colored or African races in the street cars—city, urban and interurban—and in the government departments located in the District of Columbia, is provided in a bill introduced in the house of representatives by Representative Joe B. Thompson of Oklahoma.

Relating to the use of street cars by the different races, the bill provides that on the street cars separate compartments "equal in all points of comfort and convenience" shall be provided for the white and colored races; and that a board or marker, placed in a conspicuous place, bearing appropriate words in plain letters indicating the race for which it is set apart, shall be sufficient as a separate compartment within the meaning of this act." Provision for punishment is made for any passenger who refuses to obey the rules and for any company which refuses to enforce them. Further this is to be made clear that any passenger refuses to occupy the compartment to which he or she is assigned by the officer of the company, said officer shall have the power to carry such passenger." Taking up the matter of the separation of the races in the departments, the bill provides for separate compartments in every department of the government where both white and colored are employed. The fifteenth anniversary edition of the Negro Year Book was issued by Monroe N. Work, superintendent of records and research at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, and forms one of the most complete encyclopedias of the race ever published. The book contains more than 400 pages of indexed information regarding the colored race, its history, its institutions, ministers and its alms and past victories. "The progress that these 10,000,000 negroes have made since their emancipation," says the compiler of the Year Book, "may be summarized under three heads—namely, educational, economic and religious. Other people have given a larger percentage of their earnings for religious work. Over 80 per cent of the total wealth of the negro is in church property. The average church wealth was $750,000.00" The book contains a complete history of the negro in America up to 1913, as well as a treatise on the legislation enacted in the United States on behalf or against the race. In the chapter on agriculture it is told that the increase in the number of negro farmers in the country was 19.6 per cent from 1900 to 1910. According to statistics contained in the Year Book, Georgia has the largest colored population in the Union, with 94,400 cities with 94,400 New York second with 91,709. Contained also in the annual is the official proclamation of Booker T. Washington regarding the fifteenth anniversary celebration of emancipation, which will be held from October 19 to 26. More than 2,000,000 horse power is obtained from Japan water courses by 383 hydroelectric plants. New Orleans' last chance of holding the Southern university was canceled at a meeting of the board of directors, at which Gov. Luthier E. Hall was present, when a committee was appointed to select a new site, and also to sell the buildings and grounds of the university. J. S. Clark, a negro educator of Baton Rouge, was named as president of the institution, succeeding H. A. Hill. As to where the new institution will be located, known through it is generally under that Alexandra, Shreveport and Baton Rouge have made attractive offers for the institution. It will undoubtedly go to the city or town making the most attractive offer in cash and a property site. --- In the southern states alone negroes are proprietors of ten thousand general stores, three hundred pharmacies and fifty-seven banking institutions. In the entire country they own twenty million acres of land and more than six hundred thousand houses. St. Louis is to have a hobo hotel, to be built by the organization of tramps formed by James Eads How, from contributions solicited from the public.

Lake Superior drains an area of 85,000 square miles. It is sometimes the part of wisdom to avoid the hall-fellow well-met. BASEBALL Clymer is doing excellent work with the Braves. Beals Becker has made good with the Philadelphia fans. They say that at the keystone sack Ty Cobb is another Hal Chase. No, Gregg's first name isn't Vean. It is Sylveanus- Vean for short. Kink Cole is a shining example of what a pitcher can do if given a real chance. The Athletics have one of the best catching staffs in the country in Schang, Thomas and Lapp. Manager Griffith has as good a quartet of hurriers in Johnson, Engel, Groom and Bochling as there is in the league. Each season some ball player goes to sleep on a base hit to right field and is thrown out before he can get to first. Maranville is felding the ball faster and with more accuracy than any other shortstop in the big leagues this year. . . . Jack Stansbury, one of the American association sluggers a year ago, is batting far below the .300 mark this season. --- "George Daus is pitching the classiest brand of ball in the league," says Umpire Tommy Connolly of Ban Johnson's staff. Bob Bescher of the Reds is getting roasted hard by the fans of Cincinnati. The outfielder has been pulling some bone plays. Leverenz is a product of the Chicago corner lots. Walter says working in a blacksmith shop is what gave him his strong wing. Jimmy Toman, the Northwestern league umpire, will offerize in the National league in 1914, President Fielder Jones announced. Manager Jennings is thinking of making an outfielder of Edgar Willett, his big hurler, who can bang the ball with the best of them. Owner Col, Bob Hedges of the Browns, claims that he has the three best southpaws in the world in "Hamilton, Leverenz and Wellman." One player who stubbornly refuses to take the count at the hands of Time is Eddie Plank—one of the wonders of the age in the big pastime. Joe Tinker is dickering with the Kansas club for Cy Morgan, who has been pitching some good ball in the American association this summer. Fred Walker, former University of Chicago pitcher, and later known as the Mysterious Mitchell of baseball, has signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Davy Jones, the former Detroit and Chicago player, is hammering the pill all over the American association lots. Davy is hitting the pellet at a .345 clip. . . . Dapper Miller Huggins fast is convincing the St. Louis fans that he long ago was qualified for the position as manager that was passed to Brosnan. There will be some wire-pulling on the part of the empire to get the job of inflating the world's series this fall because of the $1,000 that is to be paid. --- Frank Chance hopes to get his team into sixth place before many weeks have passed if he can only keep the tallenders going as well as they have --- Dr. John Lavan, the whirlwind little shortstop of the Brown, has started hitting the ball with a vengeance, and he will likely be likely he will be able to hold his job. Pitchers Blanding, Yingling, Caldwell and Harmon are up in the .300 division. All except Harmon are doing better work in the batter's box than on the rubber. Manager Franch Chance says that the Athletics are a much better team this year than they ever were before. "They are better than they were in 1910," he says. Dick Rudolph, who seemed doomed to dwell indefinitely in the International league, but was rescued by George Stallings, has proved a consistent winner for the Braves. Any one who picked Pittaburg and Cincinnati for the second division before the season started would have found himself appearing before a lunacy commission. Yet— Two former Detroit Tigers are batting over the .300 mark in the American association. Jim Delehanty is clouting the ball at a .300 clip, while Claud Rossman is leading him by a single point. --- Almela, who was recently released by the Cincinnati club to the Montreal club, may not return to this country to play next year. The Cuban does not like to be forced into the minors after having had a taste of the big league. Dave Fultz says he is not worrying about losing his job as head of the baseball fraternity this fall. He denies the majority of the members of the association are refusing to pay their dues, but claims that 90 per cent. of the players have paid up. C HARRIS & EWING Manager Griffith proposes to use Walter Johnson as a relief hurler, and will use him in at least one-half of the remaining games played by the Senators. Griff proposes, whenever he sees a chance to take a game, to shoot the ball and stop the rungetting of his opponents. "I will volunteer to pitch every other day from September 1 to the end of the season if any time you think we are near enough to race the Athletics for the pennant," said Johnson to Griffith. "Regard that as a promise; know that I will be able to do it without time hurting my form and in the meantime instruct the other fellows to pitch their arms off every time without fear of what shape they will be in later. If Radbourn and other old timers could do it, so can I." It is said that Frank Shugart, shortstop for Pittsburgh twentyears ago, was the last man to make too errors in a season. Some record! Tinker admits Heline Groh is the best second baseman he has ever seen. Evidently Joe does not think Evers was entitled to that distin --- Larry Lajoie has taken on a new lease of life since he has been back in the game, and it is likely Birmingham will have to use the veteran for some time to come in spite of his desire to bench him. Harry Berry, owner of the Los Angeles club, says he is going to carry more than 20 men, in spite of the rule of the national commission which forbids Class AA from having over that limit. --- Shelton, Benson and Perring of the Columbus team of the American association recently pulled off a triple steal at the expense of Catcher Severold of the Louisville Colonels. Joe Jackson still leads the American league in batting. This leads the New York "American" to remark: "This is due to the fact that he never has ruined his eyesight reading literature." SPORTING WORLD The record mill at Loxington has nothing on that at Poughkeepsie where eight Bingars recently were tin-capped. --- The University of Chicago's reconstructed stadium, which cost $200,000, will be dedicated on October 4, when Chicago plays Indiana on the gridron. It is estimated that the total initial cost of the London horse show is $250,000, of which $60,000 is devoted to prizes and $50,000 spent on decorations. The Garden City Golf club on Long Island is spending $20,000 putting its courses in shape for the annual national amateur championship to take place there September 1 to 6. Eulabel, an outsider in the betting, won the final of the Tavern "steak" for 2:10 trotters in the last day's race of the grand circuit meeting over the North Randall tracks at Cleveland. The New Zealand rugby football team will reach San Francisco on October 2 and play a series of games for five weeks. In 1914 the California rugby teams will return the visit. Fordham is back on the Princeton schedule after some year's absence, and the latter school also takes on its fellow Catholics at Holy Cross, a game they have not staged since 1909. It is probable American and English polo authorities will meet in the near future and arrange more definite rules to govern the great equestrian game, both here and abroad, instead of each country playing its own rules. Grand Opera keeps on winning and has knocked his mark down to 2:14 He is apt to be in fast company in another year. East Orange, N.

CAPABLE OF GREAT VARIETY Tomato Salad May Be Served in In- numerable Forms—Ways of Re- moving the Skins, A tomato salad is capable of as many variations as the fillings for stuffed tomatoes, but in whatever way prepared, do not inflict the skins upon the consumer. To remove the skins defy, try either one of these two ways: Plunge for a second into boiling water, then skin and chill, or remove the stem and rub the skin with a fork gently with the dull edge from the stem and downward until all the surface has been covered. After a little experience this is almost as easily done as when scalded and the skin comes off as readily. For a breakfast salad, chill the tomatoes, cut into quarters, cover with a French dressing made by mixing vinegar with an even teaspoonful of salt and a liberal amount of pepper and serve directly from the ice so that it has not time to wilt. Tomatoes either sliced thin or quartered are excellent sprinkled with sweet peppers cut with the scissors into water-twin ribbons; with a sprinkling of chopped parsley, or chives or equal amounts chopped chives, tarragon and chevriol. Spanish onions cut wafer thin are also delicious with tomatoes. With chives lettuce leaves. Fine cut celery is another satisfactory combination to use with tomatoes. IMPORTANCE OF TABLE LINEN Well to Bestow Some Thought on Appreciation. Are There Are Purchased and Shaped. In buying a table cloth one should, if possible, have the exact measurement of the table for which it is intended; the usual length is from two and one-half to three yards. If the table is a square one, one-fourth to one-third of a yard is allowed to fall over the ends. Many of the new cloths have the design round on a square cloth, which makes them especially attractive for the round table, as the cloth can be cut circular without disturbing the pattern; usually these have a circle of flowers, or the satin bands, according to the design the border, or the white middle of the cloth to top of the table. Napkins should match the cloth, and there ought to be two dozen allowed for each cloth; one dozen of each size. Salada a la Printerier You may make a variety of most entrancing, though simple and inexpensive spring salads for lunchon and dinner by preparing the vegetables in same manner as for soup, dicing, shredding, slicing, cutting in cubes, oblong shapes, etc., cooking each separately in salted water, and draining carefully. in the luncheon salads rice and meat, crab, lobster, shrimp and even nut meats may be used. Indeed, one has such an abundance of riches at their command, more is the ply that is used in the preparation of use of them, and there is no gaisseying the fact that to too many women of today the preparation of food is a bore; of providing three meals a day a nightmare. Cooking In a Jar. Not until she has tried it will a housekeeper realize how delicious are vegetables and fruits cooked in a jar in the oven rather than on top of the stove. As little water as possible should be added, then the full flavor of the foodstuff is retained. A casserole answers admirably for vegetables or fruits prepared in this way. Apple juice and bread are some of the things which are really excellent cooked in the oven. The process is simple for the housewife, for there is not the danger of burning on as top of the stove. German Dumplings Grate three or four cold boiled potatoes. To these add two thoroughly beaten eggs, a little salt and one-half cup milk. Stir in enough flour so you can form into balls with your hands. Be careful not to get too stiff and flour your hands. Drop into boiling salted water and boil about 20 minutes. When they have boiled about 20 minutes turn over a whisk whisk until sticky work is on them and cover again. Pour gravy over them same as for potatoes. Gravy made after frying pork chops is best. Colonial Cushions For the bureau of old mahogany or the mahogany shaving case a pin cushion not too frilly is needed. Such a one is shown in a "colonial cushion," a copy of an antique. Even these modern copies come from old Salem. It is square in shape and of mahogany, standing on four half-finch high feet. Within the mahogany frame, the cushion part may be renewed as often as one wishes, so it makes quite a durable article. To Prevent Rusty Iron To keep irons from rusting, rub them with mutton fat, wrap in common brown paper, and put them away in a dry place. If they have become rusty, they may be made smooth and shiny. They can be made with a smooth board and rubbing the iron over it several times—Christian Science Monitor. Ginger Sharbat Fill tilt glasses with lemon ice and press spritake a teapot of pre- served tea on top. Jelly Glasses. The housewife should watch for sales of jelly glasses. The slight variation in the size makes considerable difference in the cost. When Making Coffee When making coffee,this improves the flavor: Place the coffee in a pan in a fairly hot oven for about three minutes before making. To While This Gream When cream is too thin to whip, add the unbeaten white of an egg. You will then have no trouble whipping the cream—Better Farming. CHANGE FOR ROBERT Oculist's Wife Meant Well, But Results Were Not as Anticipated "Tired?" asked the hostess as the oculist's wife dropped into a chair. "Yes, tired and disgusted with men and—and dogs. Though it really wasn't the dog's fault," she added. "Then it was the man's" exclaimed the brunette girl. "It usually is. Tell me." "Well, yesterday afternoon I started out to make some calls. I wore my white vole dress, white lace hat, long white kid gloves and white buckskin shoes. Remember that; for what I wore plays an important part." "It does with every woman," said the day. "Well, went on the oculist's wife. "It was such a lovely day and I decided to go by way of the park. I was walking down a little shady path when I noticed a peculiar looking dog following me. Of course, no woman wants to be followed by an ugly grimy cur. I looked for a policeman, but there wasn't one in sight. I throw a stone at him and though I caught him, I gained closer. "Then I observed that it was his eyes that gave him such a peculiar look. They were very pale, almost white. I looked at them closely. Without doubt the poor dog was afflicted with cataract. Then my heart almost stood still. My heart was the only opportunity this would be for Robert! Being a young oculist, he is always on the lookout for material. It didn't make any difference whether it was a person or an animal, as long as it was a case. And here was a case, an operative one. And my husband loves to operate! The dog began to wag his tail in joyful anticipation. That it, I loved, and stated home, the dog at my heels. Some one called to me. It was a policeman. "Is that your dog?" he asked. "It is," I said firmly, but not proud. Then he wanted to know where its collar and license and chain and muzzle were and a hundred other important things, and I thought we should never get away from him. But after much arguing we finally did and reached the street in safety. Then the dog suddenly changed his mind. He didn't want to be operated on after all. He bolted and I bolted after him, with a big crowd of people looking on. "After I had chased him a block he got into a fight with another dog, which enabled me to catch up to him. I grabbed him, determined that he wouldn't have his eyes bitten out before Robert got a chance at them. I bought a rope of a boy and tied it around the dog's neck while a crowd cheered. My new dress and gloves became covered with streaks made by the dirty rope. "I held to the rope, however, and dragged the dog on. He began to choke. The rope was too tight. If I loosened it he might get away. There was nothing to do but to carry him. In addition to everything else that could be said against that dog, he was heavy. I reached home the 'jawitor' was watering the lawn. 'You can't take that dog into the building,' he said. 'Who's going to?' I asked, passing the house. Then I went around to the alley and sneaked my patient up the back stairs and dropped him on my clean kitchen floor. He began to howl. To keep the jailtor and all the tenants from hearing him I fed him all the cold meat in the house and finally had to give him the chops I bought for supper. "It seemed ages before Robert came home and put it to the kitchen and triumphantly showed him the dog." "You are going to operate on him tomorrow," I said proudly. "What for? he asked. 'For cataracts. Just look at his eyes. Mr. Ophthalmologist.'" "He bent down and carefully examined the dog's eyes. 'You're a poor diagnostician,' he said. 'The dog has no cataracts.' But see, look how white his eyes are, I faltered. That's the natural color of the iris, he replied. 'Instead of being brown or blue it is whitish. He can see as well as you can.' "My eyes filled with tears. 'And after all my trouble you are not going to operate on his eyes at all?' I asked. 'Oh, I will see his eyes if you insist,' he told, but—" The oculist's wife stopped abruptly and looked into the smiling faces around her. "I don't see what you are laughing at," she flashed. "You are just as heartless as he is. I'm going out now and buy me a cat." Politeness Paya Mrs. Jordan had "ideas" on the way children should be reared. Her young hopeful Tommy caused her a little anxiety in this respect. Now and again, therefore, a serious "politeness" lecture was administered. "Now, Tommy, dear," she started, "supposing you accidentally stepped upon a gentleman's foot, what would you say" "I would say, 'Beg your pardon!'" "That's my own son!" smiled the pleased mother. "And if the gentleman gave you a pony for your politeness what would you say" "An innocent look passed from Tommy's eyes as he quickly answered: "Why, I would stand on the other foot and say 'Beg pardon!' again, of course." Diagualified. Mrs. McCarty—An' what does your son teddy be doin' now, Mrs. Flynn? Mrs. Flynn—He's doin' tome, Mrs. McCarty; but it's not his fault that he doesn't let him on 'th' perlece fooreen on account of his lungs—Puck. Natural Guess "When a man is continually looking at his watch, wouldn't you suppose he was a woman?" "Yes, unless there was a woman in the case." Demand for Ivory Has Thinned Ranks of Elephants. Splendid Speelmens Such as Fell to the Guns of Sportmen a Few Years Ago Are Practically Extinct in Africa. It is the ambition of most big game hunters to bag a good "tusker"—an elephant with exceptionally big "teeth," to use the sporting term—but that ambition is seldom realized nowadays, for elephants, particularly those of record age and size, are becoming more rare every day. Indeed, it is stated that the African elephant, from whom the finest ivory is obtained, is doomed. It is practically vanished from South Africa and is being slowly exterminated in other parts of the country. This extermination has been brought about by the great demand for ivory nowadays. Only a few years since a single large firm of billiard table makers used in a month as many as ninety-five pairs of tusks. Thus, to supply this single firm no fewer than 1.140 elephants suffered death annually. And the demand for tusks may be gathered from the fact that about 300 tons are sold in London alone during the year. The consequence is that the chance of a big game hunter's coming across such an elephant as that shot by Maj. Powell-Cotton in the Congo state eight years ago, whose tusks weighed 372 pounds, is very remote. These were the finest pair of elephant's teeth ever secured by a white sportman, although they are not the heaviest on record. The heaviest pair of tusks ever secured are to be seen in a museum in the United States. One of the tusks measures ten feet four inches, the other, and scales 235 pounds, and the other, which is an inch or two shorter, weighs 225 pounds, giving a total of 460 pounds. The second of these tusks is eclipsed by one to be seen in the British museum collection. It measures 10 feet 2½ inches, is 24½ inches in circumference and weighs 226 pounds. One of the longest tusks on record was that in the possession of the late Rowland H. at one time in 1911 he was 11 feet 5½ inches and the curve and scaled 150 pounds. Its fellow measured 11 feet in length and weighed 143 pounds. The pair now enriches the American national collection. Sir Edmund Loder is the possessor of a very fine single tusk, which measures 9 feet 5 inches and weighs 184 pounds. In 1911 W. W. Greener, the Haymarket gunmaker, had in his window a wonderfully even pair of pounds which scaled 10 feet and weighed circumference of 25 inches and an extreme length of 8 feet. They made a very fine second to Major Powell Cotton's splendid pair. Satisfactory Biplane Test. Four biplanes mounted by French army pilots recently made a successful flight over the desert of Sahara. The trip, covering about 500 miles distance, was made above the desert region where any kind of aid is impossible. Starting out from the military aeroplane post which was recently established at Bliska on the edge of the desert and in the Algerian region, the party proceeded with the object of making the flight to Tougourt, a military station lying down on one easily accessible slope, done one easily the whole party. Then the return trip was made without any incidences, showing the value of the aeroplane in making communication over desert country. The French army possesses a number of military posts in the regions of Algeria and Morocco. Diamond Weighs Tons? Diamonds of the weight of 28 2-5 tons, which would fill a space of 10% cubic inches and have a value of nearly $1,000,000,000, have been taken from the earth from the earliest time to the present day, according to the measurements of the well-known French metallurgist. These figures, however, only concern the stones before cutting, which reduces their weight volume by half, but multiplies their value by five. A box three feet high, six wide and eight long would thus hold the total weight of the finished condition and would have a market value of $4,700,000,000, according to present prices. Witchcraft In many parts of the world—Greece, for instance—the believer in witchcraft still gets hold by bhook or by crook, of hair, nail parallels and so forth from an enemy's head and hands, burns, buries or does something with them in order to entail unpleasant consequences upon that enemy. And universal forkure reveals the concern of savages to dispose of their own hair and nail clippings to prevent an enemy from getting at them. Australian girls girls, having a lock of hair stolen from them, expected speedy death as a certainty—London Telegraph. President Wilson's Cabinet Never before since the day of Jack son has the president's cabinet been without a representative from New England.

Booker When people say: “He is so bad I ean do nothing with him,” the fault is not in the child, but the parent, It isan. admission of weakness, an acknowledgement of bad training and usually of irregular discipline on the part of the parent. ‘A. child does not need to be many weeks old beforo it has “sized up” the situation and realizes that by fretting and putting on a displeased air it can sway the parents. It goes without saying that no decent grown- up would be cruel to a child; but be- tween cruelty and a mild firmness and above all gentle reasoning there is a vast difference. Just in propor- tion as parents are able to strike this means will children show benefits and grow into well balanced lives. Children have a sense of justice and‘fairness; it pays to deal fairly with them.

The sooner children learn to be guided, gently but nevertheless with such firmness as will insure obedience the sooner do they fit them- selves for their places in society.
