Working Girl Makes Best Wife.

| - y >'--'-- n iT
best wife in the world"
This is the firm assertion to |
Miss Mary Macarthur.
Miss Macarthur is a relnarka-
ble woman. Not yet thirty, she
has been interested in trade un-
ionism among women for more
than ten years, and has practi-
cally built up the English organ
Iization OF which she is president,
and whi"h numbers now fully
100000 women,,
| Miss Macarthur reiterates: ut
is thelxorking women who make
the best wives and the be g t
mothers, too
"Woman is in the industrial
struggle and she is in it to stay
until she wins what she is fight
for-her right to food, shelter
and home. We cannot be defeat
ed. We arr al one with the great
purpose of life.

erytlme who, first OF all, starts
out with a wise marriage She
, marries for love and for friend

the sake OF a man-any man who
will bestow the light OF hls coun-
, tenance upon her.
"The working woman is deliv-
! cred from the two great errors
, that women have been making
since the institution OF marriage
= was founded. One OF these is mar
Tying for a home. The other is
, marrying for an emotion. 1t

"The woman-the working wo'

as great as the total of the Uni

How Times Change

How times change! When we were young, people had colds, soaked thelr feet in hot water and got well. Now they have grlp, take qulnine and feel bad all summer. Then they had a sore throat, wrapped piece of fat pork in an old sock, tied it around the neck at night, and went to work next morn ing. Now they have tonsilitis. sur. gical operation and two weeks in the house. Then they had stomach ache and took castor oil and recovered. Now they have appendicitis, n week in the hospital, and six feet due east and west and four feet perpendicular. Then they worked; now they labor. In those days they wore underclothes; now they wear lingerie. Then they went to H res taurant; now they go to a cafe. Then they broke a leg; now they fracture limb. People went crazy then; they have brainstorms now, Politicians then paid good, hard cash for support; now they send garden seeds.

Ecr: to Get Cheap Ico.


 Consul General Richard Guenther of Frankfort has observed n new proc ess of making cheap ice in Germany.
 X novel experiment. for producing ice in an easy and inexpensive way was made last winter in the vicinity of Balingen, in the kingdom of Wurt- temberg, which might be adopted in To- calities in the United States where, on account of lack of lakes or rivers. the price of ice is high. The process Is as follows:
 A large wooden framework of two stories. each ten feet high, is put up Each story has cover of eighteen parallel beams. Through the center pipe, incased to prevent freezing runs up to the upper cover. This pipe is connected with the water supply.
 At the top the water escapes over a rotating disk. so that 1t is distributed evenly in the form of drizzling rain over the beams of the cover of both stories. The water drops continually from the beams and Is changed into icicles by the cold winter temperature These icicles grow until they reach from the top beams to the beams be- low and finally to the ground floor.
 At sufficiently low temperature TOO cubic feet of ice can be produced In a single night from such q framework The icicle assumes and keeps the form of thick, separate columns, which can be broken without difficulty.

WOMEN GET WORST 0F ONE SIDED
 WEDDINGS
MANY ARE LEGALLY MARRIED IN GREAT BRITAIN WHILE HUs-
 BANDS ARE FREE
IGNORANCE SAID TO BE CAUSE
UNFORTUNATE WIVES MOSTLY BELONG TO THE MORE ED
 UCATED GLASSES

LONDON, March 20.--Probably few persons are aware that there are women in this country who are married to their husbands though their husbands are not married to them.
 ] They are parties to one-sided marri- ages which are possible on account of curious anomaly in the present state of the law.
 Under the existing international mar riage laws, which have not been brought into harmony with one another, Brit. ish woman may marry foreigner in her own country according to the Brit ish marriage laws.
 So long as the husband remains under the British flag his marriage is valid, but as soon as he returns to his own country its legality can be called in question.
 In the case of Frenchman, for ex- ample, two essentials to valid marri- age are: First, that due notice of his impending marriage be published at the French Consulate;, second, that he ob- tain the consent of his parents if he is under the age of twenty-five.
 Husband Free; Wife Tied Down
 If these conditions have not been fulfilled the legality of the wedding can be assaifed in the French courts and the marriage declared void, thus en- abling the husband to marry again. But his English wife, so long as she remains in England, is still his wife and cannot remarry.
 There is at present in London pro- fessor's daughter left destitute with three children by her French husband, who has returned to France and ob- tained an annulment of his marriage, owing to some informalty in the cere- mony according to the French law.
 "We come across many cases of these lop-sided marriages said the man ageress of an employment bureau, ''and it is curious fact that most of the un- fortunate wives belong to the educated classes
 ''In my experience the husbands are mainly French or Italian, though there have been cases in which Germans and Portugese were concerned
 Family Has Marriage Annulled
 'There is a steady stream of Frenc h visitors, for instance, to the silk and lace factories in the eastern counties. They stay three or four months at a time.
 "A marriage is hastily arranged and takes place without much preliminary inquiry, and when the husband returns to France and informs his people that he is married there is trouble.
