knowledge on the woman's part is
responsible for the clearinghouse
habit, and also helps to increase the
number of divorces
After woman has been earning
from SIS to 500 a month for years,
and has helped her family and
bought city lot or two, it is rather
hard for her to marry a man with a
s65 per month salary and feel sat-
isfied.
All of this makes her feel that the
man is incompetent, and, to a GER
tain extent. inferior, and herein lies
an element of discord. Matrimony
is the normal and rational state for
normal people, therefore it is better
for girls to cut out business and de-
vote time and life to homemalSing.
The question Is now up to the men
shall girls be educated for bust
ness careers or home making? The
only way to head fla business ca
reer is to marry the girl.
Two young people can adapt them
selves to each others peculiarities
easier than older ones; they are more
loving, less eXacting and more for.

The Tanganyika Con sessions, Ltd, claims to have discov- cred and sufficiently explored depos- it's of great extent in the Congo Free State. and the adjacent Northwest Rhodesia, to make it probable (they consider certain) that this region will become one of the worlds greatest sources of supply. But the deposits lie in the very heart of the continent, on the 18th degree of south latitude. and thousand miles of railroad must be built before supplies and copper can be transported in and out be- tween the West Coast and the mines.
 Australia. the table shows, has made some progress, and will prob ably continue to move forward. So far as Russia in Asia has been ex- plored, no mines of great promise have been exposed, but very little is really known of the possibilities of either Siberia or China.
 Japan appears as a growing copper power. but this year her production will probably show no increase owing to the labor riots and destruction of property at some of her copper mines. While she has undeveloped and partially developed resources which will increase her output. she has also created for herself in Corea. Manchuria. and Fornosa. fields for industrial expansion which may ab- sorb all her excess.
 A review, therefore. of the worlds mines would seem to indicate that the old mines are approaching ex- haustion, that no new large deposits of rich ore. except possibly those of Tanganyika, are in sight; and there fone the trade must turn to deposits of lower grade than have heretofore been worked. if the demand contin- ues as active as at present And cop per cannot be made as cheaply from mines of that class as from the mines We have been drawing upon SO Teck- lessly for a generation.

Now We must have bronze balustrades in our palatial offices. hotels and pTi- vate buildings. Brass or bronze hinges and locks. gas fixtures, etc, appear in profusion in cur houses and railroad cars. and brass and copper have driven out lead for roofing and plumbing. When copper is abundant and sells at moderate price, it is the most desirable material fo- these purposes. but as it becomes rarer and dearer. substitutes for it will b. used. As long. however. as money is forth coming. the public taste for brass and bronze will be gratified. and probably more of the worlds supply ~ill go into architecture and house-furnishing than into any other use.

The copper re- mains in service with little waste, or goes back to the refineries as pose will not fall off. The urban and mterurban mileage of trolley lines in the United States is between 30,- 900 and 10000 miles. They have been built within very recent years. and new lines are reticulating the coun- try. No substitute for copper in this class of roads has been suggested, for though aluminium may indiffer- ently replace copper for current trans mission. it cannot bear the wear and tear of the trolley. Gradually. also the motor will displace the locomo- tive on all our present steam roads where traffic is dense: and though the third rail instead of the trolley wire will be used, the amount of cop per which goes into the transmission. the generators. the motors. and all subsidiary appliances. will increase the proportionate demand for the metal by electricians.
 The amount Of copper which enters brass and other alloys it is difficult to determine. From information de- rived from several of cur large rail road systems I would infer that about grains of copper are consumed and actually go cut of existence per car mile. This would represent about 5000 tons of copper consumed by our railroads per annum for this purpose alone Automobiles must make A new and very heavy call on copper. and the demand for stationary en- zines and steamboats is increasing with the growing industrial activity of the country.

SAY ROOSEVELT WRONGED THE
 SKIPPER
He Had No Authority to SuS- pend License of River Vessel Without Due Process of Law the Claim

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 12.- President Roosevelt's order directing the suspension of the master of the steamer Fred Hartweg, because of misconduct during the river pageant Is unsupported by authority in flaw. This Is shown by the statute intend ed to apply in such circumstances. The executive order would have an exact parallel in the president direct ing the conviction of a man for a major crime without indictment. or trial. The order ignores a procedure explicitly defined by statute mad con fiicts with the regulations adopted by the board of supervising inspectors for the trial of cases involving the suspension or revocation of licenses.
 The order issued by President Roosevelt was dated Memphis, Tenn, September and was directed to Unit ed States Inspector of Hulls Williams at Evansville, Ind. The order follows:
 q direct that the license of the mas ter, or whoever is responsible for the Fred Hartweg during the present yoy- age, be suspended at once for ninety days. I wish this done by telegraph, wherever the boat may be. if such procedure is possible. Colonel Sears can give you the details of the miscon- duct which has been of a serious na- ture and might have at any time caused an accident to this boat as we'll as to the other boats.

While such spasmodic variations are transitoTy, there can be no doubt that if the demand grows and no very important new discoveries are made, the metal will become scarcer and will command a higher price than the average price of the past. One consequence. which will also be corrective will be that the metal will cease to be used for purposes to which 1t is turned today. and for which a cheaper material can be dis covered. For it is an invariable rule that when the metal has run up above a figure which deters purchasers from using 1t except for unavoidable purposes. the consumption drops off sharply. and more normal value is restored.
