Saw Woman Is only a Pawn.

Professor Thomas arthle on "The
Psychology Of Woman's Dress in the
November American Magazine is even
more spirited than last months paper
on "The Adyentitious Character of
Women" which caused such a storm.
Following is brief extract:
while woman's demands occupy so
large a place in the industrial world,
il il noticeable that she is herself only
pawn in the industrial game played
by man Her individual possessor uses
her as symbol of his wealth, and tine
captains of industry make her and her
changeable and expensive fashions the
occasion Of market for the costly and
clangeable objects which fashionable
habits force her to accept. New fash
ions are not always beautiful; they are
even often ugly, and women know it;
but they embrace changes az frequent
and as radical as the ingenuity of the
made-makers can devise. Women do
rot wear what they want, but what the
manufacturers and trades-people want
them to want. The people who supply
them also control them.
This does not, however, alter the
fact that the general tone and pace of
social life are deeply influenced BY wom-
ans emphasis Of finery and form. There
is an old story of lady who purchased
a pair Of brass andirons and then by
degrees persuaded her husband to re-
furnish the whole house to match them.
Just so, when silks and furs and gems
and lace and the unlimited gold are
attached to the person Of woman, it
follows also that the household and
the world in which she moves are trans
formed to harmonic with her snowy
taste and appearance. Beginning with
the rugs, tapestry, proclaim, silver,
furnishings Of the home, the Fictitious

dizens everything. The ba ing array

Proper ArmOr Belt for Future Ships.

A year ago AIcClure's Magazine printed
an article charging that the turrets of
our battleships we're dangerous; that the
arn1or belt was awash when the ships
were loaded for sea; and that a great
number Of their guns were so low as TO
make it difficult if not impossible to fire
them in moderately rough weather.
That these charges were well founded
has been proved by the action Of the
conference Of naval officers called by
President Roosevelt at Newport. A
writer in McClure's for November says:
@rhe most important matter which the
conference settled was the position OF
the armor belt upon our battleships. a
bal .leship should, Of course, have her
armor 10 placed that it will give the
best possible protection when she begins
to fight. In 1896 the so-ealled Walker
board. appointed for the purpose, decided
that the armor should be located so as
to give the ship the greatest possible
protection, when two-thirds Of its coal,
stores and ammunition were on board.
This action was officially approved by
the secretary Of the navy, and so became
the standard for designing American
battleships. Since that time the board
on construction have absolutely disre-
parded this line, and altogether the ar
NOR belts on our present ships stand
from a foot and a half to three and a
half feet lower than it should be, ac-
cording to the departments official rul-
ing.
"The Newport conference decided that
the line. about which the arrnor belts OF
our f,fire Sims should be placed should
be few inches higher on the ship than
that Of tie Walker board-about a line
reached when the ship has on board two
thirds of its coal and stores and all its
ammounition. 1t recommended, that is,
that the belt be from two to four feet
bieher than it lies upon our present
sbips. 0h.setting this, 1t decided that
II sbould extend six instead Of five feet
ne now below the water line. In other
words. it raised the armor belt-as COM
nared to all the vessels now aAoat in
the American nayy-from one to three
feet"
