The Business Woman.
BY MRS. CORA X. RAwALT.

Yes there is such being, who might properly also
the title New Woman in its truest and best
sense, for the business woman OF today Is the New
Woman. Not the woman OF short hair, semi-mascu-
line attire and general mannish air. which was the
early conception of the new woman, but the woman
of clear brains and self reliance who never forgets she
is a woman, yet is capable OF grasping and under
standing the details of business and executing
them to- and at the same time keeps a place in her
heart and thoughts for home and family The women
who become engrossed in business as to have no

ing to the securing of the attend
ance of all the voters at the polls.
His plan is to furnish receipts for
poll tax TO all voters who turn out
and exercise the franchise. while
on the other hand the cash will be
collected from all who refuse TO
discharge their duty as citizens.
1t is not a new idea but is never
theless a good one and we GER
tainly hope his advocacy OF it
may bear fruit. Anything that
tends to bring out the voters is a
good idea. In a multitude of coun

the voters go to the polls we may
safely rest under the opinion that

HOW A SUBMARINE DIVES.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
How are submarine boats controlled
under the water? SUBMARINE.
Ali submarine vessels are brought to
condition of readiness to submerge by
taking in water ballast in suitably ar
ranged and controlled tanks. This
causes moro of the boat to sink below
the waters surface, and finally leaves
her with only a small part of her con-
MINI tower out of water. The remain
ing part above water represents what
Is called reserve buoyancy." This
buoyancy varies generally from 200 to
1000 pounds, depending upon the size
of the craft. and 1t is to overcome the
permanent tendency to rise represented
by this reserve that pressure is brought
to bear upon the submerging rudders
or the hydroplanes in order to make
the boat sink after she Is once put In
motion.-Ed.

LABOR DAY.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
When was Labor Day made a national

1.-THE national holidays are such by
general custom and observance and
legislation by the several States. and
not because of congressional legislation.
Congress has made Labor Day a holi-
day in the District of Columbia, but the
law is of no effect elsewhere. All of
the States, with the exception of North
Dakota, have passed a State law set
ting aside as a labor day holiday the
first Monday in September. Colorado
was the first of the States to make such
a law. This was in 1887. Pennsylvania
celebrated the first Monday in Septem-
Der as Labor Day in 1890. Wyoming
