Something Women Must do Before They
Amount To Much.
Six women were lately drowned in
water six feet deep in Isle of Wight
bay, near Ocean City, Nd. They went
sailing in little boat. There were two
men in the boat with them. the hus-
band Of one Of the women and the IA
Their of two more. With this family
were three young lady friends. The sec
ond man was the owner OF the boat Ii
was overloaded. to begin. The owner
objected to this, but the other man said
there was no danger. Nor would there
have been if the foolish women had kept
their heads. In rounding an inlet the
boat dipped down into the water lit
tie on one side Every sailboat does so.
But every sailboat is fortunately not
loaded with cowardly, hysterical WON
en-. At sight Of the water the foolish
creatures all rushed to the other side Of
the little craft. This upset it. and
sprawling into the wafer went the whole
party. II they had used their advantages
as they should have done all those girls
would have known how to swim. But
they had not used their advantages
They went over screaming while tho
boat sank. The owner dived quickly to
the bottom and pulled the mast out
Then the vessel came up. The husband
and father had meantime been trying to
hold all those six helpless women's heads
above water. By superhumnn effort he
chung to them till they had every one
got their hands upon the sides of the
boat. They would even then have been
saved if they had held on. But their
brave rescuer was exhausted. He could
do no more. He let go his hold and
sank to the bottom. This threw his wife
into Mysteries, and she, too, let go and
sank. Then all the rest went into hyster-
les and they, too, screamed and sank,
every one of them, and all six We're
drowned, when all six might have
saved themselves. A more awful lesson
on woman's foolish lack Of self control
l never read. So say it with full con
viction Of its truth: Before women can
ever amount to anything in this world
they must learn self control. They must
| learn to keep their heads on in case of
any little emergency. Nine-t enths of
the time when women scream, go into
Mysteries, faint and otherwise make
fools of themselves there is no danger at
all 1t is only in their uncontrolled,
panicky minds. The screaming, hyster-
ical, emotional woman is abhorred Of
gods and men, and she ought to be.
1t rejoices me beyond measure to
know that the sentimental, sniveling
dependent girl is going out, and the
beautiful, strong, self reliant girl is
coming in. Now the race will progress
as it never did before
No woman il ever too old to learn
anything she wants to learn. At 40
ones mind is clearer, brighter, quicker
less the person slumps down and gives
up through sheer laziness.
The scores Of dIownings among wom-
en- this summer teach the old lesson
which the living ones might learn, but
do not. 1t is this: Learn to swim. 1t
is not yet too late this summer, and
no woman under 100 is too old to ac-
quire the art.
