County Attorney Schenck raised
new point in law locally when he de-
INJURED on the grounds that the board
of county commissioners were not LA

ton not specifically authorized by law,
and he contended that il constructing
the bridge which the plaintiff alleges

farm, the commissioners were not car

Judge Dana dismissed court for a time
while he looked up the authorities on
the case When court was called again
he announced that in his opinion the ques-
ton raised by the county attorney was
very important one and in the brief time
he had had for its consideration still left
him in doubt in regard to it He said he
believed the question should have been

receives, and to that our answer is de-
cisiyely negative. 1t is a sad state OF

Ought a woman to work for money
, X she has enough for her needs? The
question has been asked hundreds of
times in the last twenty-five years.
Perhaps there Is no positive, general,
satisfactory answer to 1t; for the cir
cumstances which lead to it are vari-
Gus, and the women whom it concerns
are so different in temperament and
ability that no verdict will fit all cases
But one answer at least may be made
which is of universal application. The
more clearly women see the conditions
Of modern life the less will they wish
to work for money, and the more Will
they covet the other rewards which are
better worth seeking. To be a doctor,
nurse or teacher is noble, but not more
so than to undertake other and unpaid
tasks that are necessary for the vel
fare of the world.
The cure and care of the sick are far
heavier than need be If mothers and
children were shown by friendly talk
and example how to keep well. Care

The great man OF science who de-

Schools for social workers and a con-
stantly increasing mass of the liter

desire of women to labor for the high
est ends, and to do their work not with
the awlIWardness and waste of the am

Leaf designs in embroideries are very

silky that they resemble crepe de chine

Many of the new tallor-mades ready

Satin stripes and bars on silk and
wool grounds are especially prevalent
