g notable for something new
the presence of two young la
dies in uniform who are hired
TO serve as life savers during the sea-
son. The two girls are Miss May Ray
mond and Miss Sally Dunno. They
wear pretty blue uniforms with the
Red Cross badge upon the left sleeve.
Miss Raymond has been a swimmer
ever since she was a child. Her family
lived at Far Rockaway, one of the
noted bathing beaches near New York,
and there the girl swan, summer after
summer, till her friends used to ask
her II she wasn't webfooted. Once she
swan five miles without stopping.
Miss Raymond holds two long distance
racing records. These girls are the first
women life savers employed at any of
the New York beaches, but Miss Dunno
has served in that capacity already at
Revere Beach, near Boston. While
there she saved several lives. She as
Serts that her one talent is to be useful
In the water, where most women are
helpless. Miss Raymond says she does
hope to save a man from drowning, as
she never expects to be able to save
one any other way. The young ladies
are employed by the proprietors of one
Of the largest Of the Coney Island
beach shows. Their entertainment is
much patronized by women and chill
dren. 1t is women and children who
usually drown, if anybody does, and
among these the work Of Misses Dunno
and Raymond chiefly lies Women are
often foolishly timid about going into
the water, and in consequence their
children may not go in. The life saving
girls take charge of whole focks Of
little ones in the bracing, electric salt
water, while their mothers sit on the
beach and watch the youngsters hav-
ing fun. The two young ladies are en-
tirely fearless in the water and splen-
didly strong and skillful There is
something glorious in knowing how to
SWIM anyhow.
The depth of a girls brain pan is
usually in inverse proportion to the
height of her shoe heels.

That gifted American woman, Mrs.
T. P. O'Connor, has become editor Of
done more than anybody else to build
up her husbands paper, NJ A P, She
was a successful actress when T. P.
O'Connor, then in America as a news
paper writer, met her in Washington.
Mrs O'Connor is one of the most brill
liant and popular of che London liter
airy social set,
sex who enjoy personal liberty are old
maids and widows without children.
Crime, disease and poverty, these
three must be abolished, and they
will be abolished as the race evolves
from barbarism into civilization. Do
not let us make the mistake Of believ
ing we are already civilized Statistics
show that Of 1000 persons only one dies
natural death-that is, from old age.
Disease or accident cuts off all the other
900 before their time. This Is an ap-
palling waste Of human life. Science,
intelligence and human will power
must combine to stop the waste and
stamp out all disease. 1t is not natu-
RAIL- 1t is criminal We can do much
to keep ourselves in good health by
making up our minds we are going to
keep well and sticking to it.
The next meeting Of the National
American Woman Suffrage association
will be in Portland Ore.

When a woman is too stupid to shine
In public life or in society she usually
tells people that the home and the do
nestle circle are woman's true sphere,
out of which none Of the sex should
ever step. That is how the stupid wom-
an excuses her stupidity. But she is
awfully tiresome, all the same.
Sometimes it seems a pity the human
race ever learned to talk
