Every once and awhile some
one with a genius for looking al
figures through strange lenses
.delves into the United States cen
.sus reports and bobs up with the
startling discorery that man is
being hopelessly swamped by the
industrial progress Of women.
The figures that tell of a large
increase of women in gainful oc-
cupation are i'm official reports

notes the tide of femininity that
lis making its own way i'm the
world. grows alarmed for his
sex. and lifts up his stentorian
voice in warning.
The last Of these periodical
warnings is a gem. The moan
of the receding masculine labor
is already i'm our ears. Federal
census figures show that the star
of the industrial woman is in the
ascendency. while man falls with
the fall of the wage schedule,
and as machine labor increases
he looks upon mechanism much
as the jaded horse looks upon the
automobile " The picture is
striking. Poor man resigns the
reins ne has held for 50 long,
and. stepping aside, mournfully
regards the world as it goes for
ward under the spur of a new
driver wh l. you lasted. but your
DAYS are over. Farewell, trou-
sers, Hail, skirts,
The style of reasoning employ

oming 63 per cent. of the popula-
ton is male. Ii would appear
that man. like the Indian, is be-
ing driven west and that the com
pctitive life is driving him toward
theinevitablc sunset Of his career.
which means that he must earn
his bread by the sweat of his brow
only i'm those fields of manual la
Dor that woman cannot fill. " This
is new light. Generally the be-
lief has been that it is quite the
natural thing to have menln pre-
ponderating numbers IN a new
country. Women follow after
ward. when the way has been
cleared and made a little smooth;
for even the industrial woman is
OF the weaker sex.
As for woman supersedlng man
in business life. the question has
been thrashcd out long ago. No-
man does not make as good a
business man" as man. and 1t IS
quality that business requires in
its rulers. Besides. the more wo-
man sees OF the world from an In
dustrial standpoint the more she
knows that this is the truth and
the more resigned TO II she IS
The wiser she becomes in the
wavs Of the world the more ap-
parent il is to her that her throne

is in the home. A few years in
business life tells most women
positively what is the best pro
fession for them to follow. And,
because they are growing more
and more wise. they follow 1t.
And the name of the profession
is Matrlmony.
The matter of dividends in old
line insurance has received a
serious setback during the past
few months. So many irrespon-
siblc estimates have been made,
and these have not been carried
out. that really such estimates
cannot be relied upon. 1t is far
better that one should carry his
protection for loved ones in one
OF our reliable fraternal beneficial
orders.
