A Swiss scientist, who has complet-

found traces of radium that suggest
larger deposits than any hitherto
found in Europe. He believes these de-
posits caused the abnormal heat ex-
perienced In building the tunnel. This
goes to support the theory that pos
sibly the presence OF radium in vast
quantities creates the supposedly

There may be a disadvantage in being a
woman if the woman thinks it so; | do not
believe there is any natural disadvantage
1t is not uncommon, of course, to hear
a woman say that she wishes she were a man.
but This wish is expressed in impaticnce with
her physical limitations to do certain work,
or with the environment and traditions that
prevent her from asserting herself as men
assert themselves
She does not mean that she would aban-
don her own physical character and identity,
with all its associations and sentiments, and
assume that of man. Most women value
their own womanliness too much for an ex-
change like that.

is one in which the individual finds the great

most fitted from the beginning; that for
which he originally had an instinct, whether
work of the hands or head, or both.
Domestic influences which are antag-

which he is fitted have, firmly believe, much
to do with what is called nonsuccess in life.
