Arms and the Woman

Did anybody ever see one armed woman?' asked a gray headed man as he surveyed the afternoon parade q never did. Almost every day I meet one armed men. but l have yet to en- counter woman with that pitifully empty sleeve. Are there no women who have suffered that mutilation: |: If not, why not? And, if so, where are they?
 Yesterday I heard it argued that there was no cause for woman to lose an arm: tbat women do not go to the wars and are not engaged in occu- pations that are likely to carry away a part of their body. But that req soning is not sound. Many women work in mills and factories, and they are as liable to accidents in the streets and public conveyances as men. Ere quently they figure fin these accidents; but, although men in the same situa- tion would lose an arm, women never do.

The National tribune., 1909-10-07

| ter. When Mr.. GUIDE stepped beside DR..
Cook and, with a wave of his hand to-
ward the lecturer, said, Here he is. >.
the people went wild. They did the
same thing at the Municipal Building,
where Commissioner Macfarland, who
| is always 'at his best said:
President Taft, Admiral Dewey, Gen.
| Greely. Admiral Schley. and other Gis-
ltinguished residents of Washington have
| Individually expressed their appreciation
of your great achievement. 1t is fitting
that the Nations Capital. thru its
executive government, should give you
a hearty welcome and cordial congratu-
| lations. This is the home of the Amer
ican Flag which you carried to the North
pole. 1t is the National City. where
every American registers his greatest
attainment and expects his greatest re-
wards. First honored in a foreign cap
ital. you have come none too soon to
receive honors in your own Capital.
The American people, at once ideal
lists and realists, feel more than most
peoples the appeal of such success as
yours Whether or not it has practical
results. whether 1t will add to the money
wealth of the world, or-only to its stores
of knowledge, they know that it adds to
the moral wealth of the world, that ii
raises the courage of every man, and
makes it more possible for him to reach
his Sodi. LII Tic dfCtiC ullIl-
culties and enlarg.ng the map of the
world, you have not only won the prize
of exploration, but have borne yourself
throughout with the nodesty and cour-
tesy. as well as the courage and inteIli-
gence, of the true American"
DR.. Cook made brief reply, and con-
tented himself with a statement of
gratitude.
Il fail to find words to suitably ex-
press my appreciation for the honor
expressed in your recognition" he said.
Il can only say that l heartily thank
you"
He left for Baltimore an hour later.
Mr.. T. P. Corwin, of GAINESVILLE, o.,
who is a collector of rare stamps, was
in Washington the other day in pursuit
of his special fad. Mr.. Corwin says
that there is bigger demand for the
stamps of America than for those of
any other Nation. Dealers of his ac-
quaintance, he says, declare that United
States stamps are better sellers than
those of Great Britain. which country
for years led in popularity among phila-
telists. He does not like the idea, how
ever, of printing special issues of stamps
every few months. He says that France
is the only other country that follows
this practice of printing more or less
pretty label to commemorate it when
ever there is a great event.
What is there in 1t for him? That is,
for Senator Rayner, of Maryland His
salary as U. S. Senator is something like
$40, 600 a year. with perquisites includ-
ed, not princely sum by any means for
a poor man who expects to hold his
own socially and otherwise in Washing
ton. but Senator Rayner is called upon
to put up about $4,000 for his share
of the expenses of the Senatorial pri-
mary il Maryland, in which he had no
opposition for reelection to the high
