One of them is Margaret Haley, the
leading spirit in the fight which result
ed in the adding of many million dol
lars of tax evading property to Chica-
go's tax list. that resulting in the
prompt payment of the back salaries
of Chicago teachers, of whom Miss
Haley was one. A second spinster is
DIR. Cornelia De Bey, woman noted
for her intelligent and helpful interest
in educational and sanitary matters in
Chicago. The lake citys third IA
nous spinster is Jane Adams of Hull
House. Miss Adams and Miss De Bey
are members of the Chicago board of
education, in which they are the re-
verse of deadheads. By recent rule
adopted by the board all school mat
tiers are now in control of triumyl-
rate government-the board of educa-
ton, the city school superintendent and
q committee from the teachers union.
Thus the teachers themselves help con-
troll the Chicago school policy. Marga-
ret Haley represents the teachers un-

bank vaults and bring up the money.
One of her notable sayings, containing
part of the secret of her success, is: II

woman"
Mrs. Green, Hetty Howland Robin
son before her marriage, inherited
about $10,000,000 from her father and
an aunt. AT the age of thirty, about
the time she was married, she began to
invest her money on her own account
and control it herself. That was forty
one years ago. Now her wealth is va
riously estimated at from $50000,000
to $75,000,000. She has got this vast
sum through shrewdness and an econ
omy SO strict that many people call 1t
stinginess. However, Hetty Green and
her immense wealth are a solid proof
of the possession of financial ability by
women. Mrs. Green Is a native of New.

Miss Moons Magazine For the Blind

In England a magazine of current
literature in raised letters for the blind
has been established by Miss Adelaide
Moon. Hitherto the hapless blind folk
have been shut out from general news
and literature. Miss Moons father,
himself a blind man, devised a raised
alphabet for the sightless. This his
daughter uses in her magazine, which
is published at Brighton. In connec-
ton with her magazine the lady also
conducts a shop in which she prints
books in the raised alphabet. The
magazine has proved such boon to
the blind in Great Britain that it is
proposed to start similar one in
America.
