that American and French women, as

that the inventive genius of women

that of men. AS a patentee the French
woman does not appear so successful
as the American, although the number
of French women inventors is rapidly
on the increase. The latest grOductiOn,

graphical Union.
Milwaukee. Aug. .15.-E'rederick Dris-
coll, representative of the American
Newspaper Publishers association. ad-
dressed the International Topographic
al Union convention yesterday. DriS-
coll requested that action affecting the
interests of the publishers be first sub
mitted to the publishers association.
and spoke at length on the action of the
International Typographical Union in
enacting rules compelling linotype ma
chinists and proofreaders TO become
members of the International T!po-
graphical Union.
DriScoll said the Publishers aSSocia-
tion did not favor such action and
hoped that action would be taken re-
pealing such objectionable laws. He
drew the attention of the delegates to
the fact that there were only 300 limo
type machiniSts in the country md
said he did not believe it reasonable
or fair that the publishers should be
compelled TO suffer on account OF fric-
ton between unions over Insignificant
misunderstanding.

woven into hats, and got from mil
liner Il straw buckle for n fastening.
The effect was unique and summery.
and she carried out the idea still fur
ther by edging n white stock for the
neck with the same sort of braid and
ornamenting it with a straw clasp SIM
