AMERICAN WIVES USELESS
Don't Help Husbands, But Only
Spend Money, Asserts This
Woman Writer.

That American wives take no in
terest in their husbands business,
but only in spending the money they
provide, and that as a consequence
America is full of sad-eyed and we'll
dressed women utterly without pow
err" are only a few of the startling
declarations made by Mrs. Mary
Heaton worse in the course of an al
ticle published in the January APP
pletOn's, in which she attempts to
prove that American women exercise
less real influence than those of 9TH
er nations.
American women are better edu-
Gated, more INDUCED and more in
consequential than those of any of
the leading countries of the world,
she asserts, and holds that in point
of actual power and influence the
women of France, Germany, Italy
and England far exceed those of this
country. Her reason for this point
of view she sums up in the state
ment that business bores most
American women" In all the other
countries which she mentions women
take an active part in the business or
politics. According to Mrs. worse,
France is the country where women
are most powerful. In the United
States they are only the most in
dulged.
Referring to the superior educa-
ton OF American women the Apple
ton article says: The question has
arisen in the minds of the thought
full of late whether the education
open to women fits them for their
work in the world as we'll as it might
Women in foreign countries, by CO.
operating with their husbands in bus
mess, exert almost equal power in
the important affairs of their lives.
AS a contrast to this the American
man stands alone. The women folk
Iof his family do not help him. AS
! far as his business goes it is quite
immaterial whether he has wife or
whether he has not The wife goes
her way; spends the money provided
for her. If there is any saving done
in that family it is accomplished bv
the man. AS a result of their in
difference to business America is full
OF sad-eyed and we'll dressed women. -

The Lancet tells of peculiar case in
a London hospital. The patient, q
healthy Scotch girl, aged twenty years
was In the habit Of putting pins In her
mouth and sometimes had been known
to fall asleep without removing them.
She was admitted to the hospital, hav-
ing swallowed five pins accidentally
while fixing clothes, and by the help
of emetics she was relieved Of them.
Returning home, she began regularly
to vomlt pins and got rid of twenty
three in the course Of month. She
then began to produce needles, and In
a. fortnight thirteen came out from the
following situations: The left nostril,
the origin of the sternomastold behind
the left ear and spot on the front of
the right forearm. At the same time
she continued vomiting pins until sew
enty-fve had appeared. The needles
were blackened and slightly eroded,
and two of them were threaded with
about three inches of thread.

New York City.-Mr. Walter Well
man writes as follows regarding the
achievement of Count Zeppelin in his
airship:
Count Zeppelin's record breaking
voyage with his great airship sur
prises no one familiar with the pres
ent state of the science of aerial navi-
cation. That modern motor balloon
can be depended upon to make voy-
ages of from one to two thousand
miles, under fairly favorable condi-
tions, has long been known to men
who are familiar with aeronautics.
Count Zeppelin's success is epoch
making in that it convinces a scep-
teal world of the practicability of air.
ships and of their utility as engines
of war and as instruments of ex-
ploration of the upper air as well as
parts of the earth otherwise inacces-
sible, like the great unknown area
surrounding the North Pole.
His latest demonstration without
doubt will assure the rapid building
of aerial navies by the chief military
Powers. In fact, Germany, France,
Great Britain and the United States
are already moving in that direction.
France has the Lebandy and La Re-
publique already in commission, and
Count Zeppelin's ship, it is under
stood, is to be taken over for the
German army.
The modern airship or motor bal
loon will prove to be an effective en-
CINE of war. She can make recon
noisances of an enemy's position, fly
ing at en altitude giving her inn
munity from the enemy's guns. She
cannot only gain invaluable informa-
ton, but she can make attacks upon
strategic points, such as cities, bridges
and forts and the camps of hostile
armies by dropping explosives down
upon them.
Can Drop Explosives on Enemy.
This phase of the aerial warfare of
the future has been declared imprac-
ticable by some critics because the
dropping of thousand pounds of ex-
plosive from ship of the air would
instantly cause her to shoot UP to a
great altitude The critics who think
this is fatal objection are not famil-
lar with the art of airship construc-
ton and operation. Dropping one
thousand pounds of ballast or weight
of any sort from small balloon
! dirigible like the one Captain Bald
win has built for the United States
Government would. OF course, be
either impracticable (because the ship
could not carry so much) or danger
Gus if she could carry it. But that
weight suddenly released is a baga-
telle compared to the total lifting ca
pacity of such a ship as the Zeppelin
or my polar airship, the America.

Speculation in Wheat
Responsible For Failure

Chicago ,-Speculatio in wheat is
said to have been in part at least re-
sponsible for the troubles of the
Pillsbury Company at Minneapolis,
and in part also a heavy decline in
the sale of American -four abroad
Members of the company have
been prominently identified with
mammoth wheat deals in the Mime
apolis and Chicago markets for years.
Four years ago, when black rust Sc
riously damaged the spring wheat
crop, the Pillsbury syndicate was
caught largely short and lost nearly
$1.000,000. Two years ago the same
syndicate was whipsawed, being long
on declining market, and last year
it guessed the market wrong again
This summer when crop conditions
in the Northwest were brilliant, the
Pillsburys sold September short
against their holdings of old spring
wheat, but the sensational reports
concerning damage by rust and blight
caused the market to rise suddenly.

PREDICTS AN AIRsHIP TRIP ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
zppelns Achievement Gives Promise
Things Navigation Warfare

Iof between 25, 900 and 10000 pounds,
while the America lifts 1850
pounds. The altitude gained by such
ship through dropping one thousand
! pounds in lump presents no prac-
| tical difficulties whatever.
In the airship of the future, wheth-
er used for military or scientific pur-
| poses, size is sure to be factor OF
| prime Importance. Interesting ex-
periments may be made with small
ships But real and important work
requires large ships, built by en-
gineers on a scale great enough to
admit of the employment of steel and
other metals, instead of fiimsy struc-
lures of bamboo or such materials.
Breaks All Records.
Count Zeppelin has broken all rec
ords for length of run. But there is
no reason why the military cruiser of
the future should not have radius
of movement of three or four thou
sand miles. OF course the greater
the speed aimed at the greater the
quantity of fuel that must be carried
for a given distance. A ship like the
America carries three tons of gaso-
lene in her steel tank, and il the in
fiuence of the winds be regarded as
neutral she can motor 100 miles at
about twenty English miles an hour.
Count Zeppelin's remarkable cruise
is only foretaste of what is to be
done with motor balloons in the near
future Within a few years | expect
to see the Atlantic Ocean crossed by
an airship of the Republique or Amer
lea type In fact, the America could
cross the Atlantic without much risk
of accident with little help from the
winds. A voyage from New York to
| Chicago, or vice versa, is within her
scope, and ] am strongly tempted to
bring her over from Paris this fall
and give Americans a demonstration
of what a first class engineering con-
struction can do in the way of a long
voyage through the air.
In view of the success of the Yep
pelin, of the Lebandy, of the Re-
publique, and the undoubted ability
of the America to make longer voy
age than Count Zeppelin has just
made, many experts regret that the
first venture of the United States
Government in military motor bal
looming should be with such a small
affair as that of Captain Baldwin.
1t has no class. 1t is too small. 1t
has no endurance. Captain Baldwin
is a skillful man, but his machine is
not large and powerful enough to
give him chance against great
cruiser like the Zeppelin. When the
United States Government enters the
aeronautic field it should not be con-
tent to begin where foreign expert
mentors ended years ago, but should
be up to date in size and engineering
