New York, Oct. 29.-Dr. Maud Glas-
COW prominent as physician and suf
fragette, smiled when she read that
DR.. Evans, chief of the health depart
ment of Chicago. had said that mec
insisted upon being "coddled, and
said it was perfectly true.
"If the same restrictions were i'm
posed upon men in dress and habits
that they for hundreds of years have
imposed upon women, l believe the
males would die out in about one gem
Grafton" laughed DR.. Glasgow. But,
seriously" she continued, men are
actually less enduring physically than
women and certainly they are more
hysterical over their bodily ailments.
'.That woman can stand more pain
than man. everybody knows. That she
can stand more exposure to hardships.
more wear and strain. almost anyone
who stops to think will realize" went
on DR.. Glasgow. A normal woman
should be as strong physically as a
man. Temperamentally. a woman is
different, but, in my opinion, she is
of higher organic development than
man.
twenty-five years ago woman
was not allowed the proper outdoor
exercise necessary to healthful physi-
cal development. She was 'coddled,
and at the same time weakened. Men
gave her to wear flimsy and foolish
garments that would kill a man with
pneumonia if he attempted to wear
them. Women were not even conced-
ed a brain. They were taught that
feminine logic was a myth.
IF they wanted anything. direct
reasoning why they should have il
would be met with jeers. What they
wanted they would have to attain with
diplomacy. with tears and q display Of

Evil Effects Of Shoes.

With the increase Of protection the
feet have become weaker from con-
finement and to a considerable extent
have lost their natural elasticity and
mobility. Their ventilation and circu-
lation are also interfered with. More
over, certain deformities and painful
affections have become so common
from unhygienic footwear and from
too prolonged standing that the idea
is prevalent that all feet are more or
less ugly, painful and helpless. Even
the idea Of the natural shape Of the
foot IS lost. and a false standard Of
shape. having as its basis the conven-
tional shape of the shoe. has to a GER
tain extent taken its place.-Henry
Ling Taylor in Good Housekeeping.

The Murray Theater.

From the Pittsburg Press: Herman
Bush of Bush and Peyser, the aero
batic comedians at the Murray this
week, is serious student Of history
as applied to athletics. Speaking Of
the past Olympic games in London
and comparing ancient Grecian sport
day, he said:
If the ancient Greek athletes who
exhibited their prowess at Athens
twenty centuries ago could witness
the forthcoming Olympian games in
London they would probably find
more than one cause for astonishment.
Proud as they were of the Stadium at
Athens, it's successor at Shepherds
Bush is considerably more than twice
feet longer, it is 800 feet wide, as COM
pared with the 130 feet of it's prede-
cessor, and it has accommodation for
10000 more spectators.
In athletic feats, too, there is small
doubt that the ancient Greek will be
left behind by the modern Americans;
although unfortunately there are few
reliable records available for compari-
son. The famous race from Marathon
to Athens, a distance of "a miles, L.
500 yards, was, it is said seldom run
under three hours, and when We con-
slider that a few years ago G. Cross
land ran twenty miles in l hour, 81
minutes, 54 seconds ION the racing
path it must be remembered) and that
we have several runners almost equal
ly good, there ought to be little diff
Guilty in beating the Greeks time.
Even the famous Euchides. who ran
from Platea to Delphi and back, a
distance of ninety-five miles in one
day would have poor chance against
such men as Harry Vaughan of Ches-
ter, who covered 140 miles in %
hours, 6 minutes, 25 seconds. and Lit
tlewood, who averaged 104 miles day
for six successive days at New York
twenty years ago.
There is however. one recorded per-
formance in ancient Greece, which is
to be credited. probably no one living
could approach-that amazing jump
of Phayllus, who with the aid of
weights and springboard, is said to
have cleared fifty-five feet, while our
most muscular Samson would have
their work cut OUT to rival Milo of

EMPLOYERS OBLIGATIONS.
Accident Compensation and the Child
Labor Problem.

Accident Compensation and the Child
Labor Problem.
A striking phase of the child labor
problem is suggested by a recent re-
port Of the Pennsylvania department
of mines. Within period Of six
years ending with 1907 casualties in
the coal mining industry Of that state
left 3.4oS widows and 1928 orphans.
Says Chief Mining Inspector j. E.
Roderick: when a state prohibits the
employment Of children until they
reach the age Of fourteen it should in
justice provide for their care until
they may be legally employed. A
great work has been done by the
people OF Pennsylvania and Of other
states for the elevation Of coming
generations by raising the employment
age. but know whereof l
speak when say that humanity de-
mands some provision for the care Of
these widows and orphans"
Provision for the families Of men
crippled by the accidents of industry
is an important feature of labor legis-
lation in practically ali of the nations
Of Europe. For the employer to COM
pensate women and children made de-
pendent by the casualties Of produc-
ton is accepted almost as readily as
for the state TO pension the families
Of soldiers and sailors slain in war,
and the provision is made with equal
ly good grace for the comfort Of dis
abled workmen.
In the United States the situation is
different. We are generous in our
compensation to the victims Of war.
but the American employer is only be-
ginning to learn his duty toward the
victims of Industrial accidents. The
prosperity of our laboring classes is
such that the need has probably never
been so startling as in some Of the
nations Of Europe. and even then our
social legislation is decidedly back
ward
But with the increasing complexity
Of industrial and social life and the
growing expense Of living the need
for better industrial accident compen-
sation Is now upon us. Pennsylvania
Is not alone in presenting the condi-
tions described by Mr.. Roderick. From
1CO. " o~o " A0o"S 0uu
1883 orphans were left by coal miners
killed at work in Illinois, and many
other states doubtless present similar
conditions both in this and in other
industries.
Since this is true and the wages of
young children are so often the sole
support Of fatherless families 1t Is
time that employers obligations were
brought more forcibly to public atten-
ton. and 1t is well that the European
laws Of workmen's compensation are
being 50 widely studied with a view
to their adoption in the United States.
Their influence upon the child labor
problem Is not the least Of reasons for
revising our employers liability prac-
tices.-George G. Stewart in Chicago

what physicians have diagnosed as

largely attended and interment was
made at Union Hill near Kennett

Hobson was prominent in Masonic

Masonic lodges Of Wilmington.
Mr.. Hobson had fingered for three
weeks at the hospital before death
came. Mrs Hobson was taken to the
hospital with her husband in a critical
condition on September q, and was
discharged a few days ago. The
poison was eaten on September 20 b.
