Women of Ancient Rome.

eve are assured by Seneca" says
the historian Inge, that there were
women in ancient Rome who counted
their ages not by their years, but by the
husbands they had had Juvenal tells
of one woman who had married eight
husbands in five years. Divorce was
granted on the slightest pretext. Many
separated merely from love of change
disdaining to give any reason, like
Amilius Paulus, who told his friends
that he knew best where his shoes
pinched him. Rich wives were not
much sought after by wise men. Their
complete emancipation made them diff
ficult to manage. Accordingly, since
both rich and poor wives were objec-
tionable, the large majority of men
never married at all. In most cases
Roman bridegroom knew practically
nothing of his wife's character until
after marriage. Marriage for the Ro-
man woman meant a transition from
rigid seclusion to almost unbounded
liberty. She appeared as d matter OF
course at her husbands table whether
he had company or not. She could go
where she liked, either to the temples of
Isis and Scraps or to the circus and
amphitheater. She had her own troops
of slaves, over whom she ruled without
interference" @a-#.. .--a

only One Kind of Lock the Expert
Burglar Can't Pick.
There's only one lock in the world
that can't open if you'll give me
few minutes at it. and as for ordinary
door and drawer locks, I'll open them
as easily as if there was no lock there.
Any expert burglar can do the same"
The foregoing statement was made
by an experienced locksmith of Kan
sas City.
Few persons know how insecure
their homes are he continued. Few
persons realize that the average lock
is absolutely worthless for keeping out
an experienced burglar. The ordinary
door lock is good for nothing but re-
minding casual business or social call
ers that they must ring to be admitted.
None of these ordinary door fasten-
ers. and that's the best you can call
them. will deter a burglar two whole
minutes. If there's no key in the lock.
he soon fits one to it. If there is key
in the lock. he inserts a pair of pinch
ers and in ten seconds has it opened.
Understand me. | am speaking of the
experienced burglar. The clumsy bur-
glar is the one who gets in trouble.
He'll tumble around with a lock until
somebody hears him. There is only
one unpickable lock made. That's the
six pin lock used by the government.
1t will defy any expert There are six
little steel pins in the lock. which
have to be raised just certain dis
lance to open it. Some of the pins are
one-fourth of an inch long and some
of them half inch. If one of the pins
lacks even hairbreadth of being
raised the proper distance, the lock
will not open. 1t battles all the ex-
perts."
This locksmith is so expert he can
open the majority Of safes by putting
his ear to the combination and listen
ing to how the tumblers click into
place as he turns it.
81 intended at one time to be a bur-
glar." this locksmith declares. 81 had
1t all planned out-even had a set of
burglars tools made. Then decided
that honesty was the best policy. and
