The Liberty Bell has started on its
journey to the st. Louis Exposition.
AS usual it was taken with much cere-
mony from Independence hall, and the
Philadelphia. Press says that in spite
of the familiarity of the people of
Philadelphia with the patriotic relic
the streets were lined with cheering
crowds eager to see it pass. The
route to be Travelled on this trip will
take the bell through many sections of
the country where it has never been
seen and everywhere it will be received
with demonstrations of enthusiasm.
1t is the peculiar attraction of school
children, who find in it a lesson OF
patriotism which can possibly do no
harm. When it reaches st. Louis the
bell will be placed in the Pennsylvania
State building. where provision has
been made for it's reception, and where
it will remain to the end Of the ex-
position and be seen by hundreds OF
thousands who would have no other
opportunity to view it.

The Republicans of Illinois may well
be in a pleasant mood that their long
deadlock has ended 50 happily and that
such. a strong ana popular candidate
for governor was finally nominated af-
ter several weeks of balloting. The
contest was Il vigorous one among the
friends of the several candidates, and
at no stage did it reach bitterness. The
battle leaves no wounds behind to be
healed. The Illinois Republicans go
into the campaign with a united front.
and with the determination to roll up
large majority for the state and ma
tional candidates. The convention was
particularly fortunate in having as its
presiding officer, Speaker Cannon, who
kept everybody cheerful and good-na-
tured during the protractcd struggle.

Curious OCCUPATIONS for Women.


Few indeed are the trades and pro-
fessicns in which women are not
crowding men in these times. a
writer in one of the magazines mas
made an interesting analysis OF the
latest census figures to show no"
numerous are women workers III
occupations which most of US nave
commonly thought of as still reserved
for men. For example, the following
summary is given under the head Oh
hunters, trappers and scouts: Nell
10000; women, 1920" In anotner
paragraph we find under the head OF
authors and scientists: Men, 3,442;
women, 2,616." Here we find the
astonishing fact that more than Nall
as many women are engaged IN the
strenuous duties of hunting ana
trapping as in scientific and literary
pursuits.
In scanning the census returns there
is absolutely no employment at all
which is monopolized by males. we
find reported 1917 women engaged III
stock raising or trading. the ruue
business of numbering and logging
claims 100 of them. No less than liz
gave their occupation as WOOD
choppers. There are 81 surveyors, Is
longshoremen, q stcvedores, lo4 boat-
men and sailors, 5 pilots 43 hackmen,
1,SO5 fishermen and oystcrmen, and
1870 miners and quarrymen. Ferhaps
we should allude to these as fSher-
ladies. oysterladies and quarryladies,
but we have chosen to follow the i'm
polite language of the census takcr.
In the field Of railrOlding we find
not few females. There are 10
baggagemen, 81 brakemen, conduc-
tors and &c switchmen. In the trades,
to, we find quite number of our
sisters and daughters. For example,
there are G ship carpenters, 167 stone
HldSOtiS, 10 anu 1Jo oletSN-
smiths. We might be curious to
examine the biccpS of the latter to see
if they raise knots of muscle like unto
their brothers in the trade. But per-
haps the most astonishing revelation
is with respect to Watchmcn and
policemen. The census tells us that no
less than S97 women are regularly en-
gagged in these occupations.
We find that not a few women
profess the trade of barber. There are
several alleged locomotive engineers.
A number claim the profession of cleo
tricians, and several own up to being
"iinemen." 1t cannot be denied that
a lady lineman, perched at the dizzy
top of pole in her new spring hat,
would give picturesqueness to rather
commonplace and inornate profession.
It is not surprising that a number
should give their occupation as base
ball players, for have not the
DiOOllleT tesii1lS DtclI 1t SCOuISe Ill TIC
land? And it was perhaps not unex-
pccted that several should describe
themselves as pugilists or boxing
teachers. But the climax of sex
idiosyncrasy does not become apparent
until we read of no less than seven
women who described themselves as
"gravediggers" the omega
as well as the alpha of human eXis-
tcnCe.
