Few old sayings have such widespread
popularity as that Marriage is a lottery"
It would seem as IL many go into It on
this basis. philosophically resigned 10
make the best of It if they draw blank.
But is it necessary to put the outcome
OF marriage on such an uncertain founda-
ton? Is there no way to insure happi-
ness?
Happiness is not a matter OF chance.
It rests on character. Some contend that
circumstances and environment have
lot 10 do with It, But Il goes beyond
these. II gets down ultimately TO the
person. People have been happy in the
most unfavorable surroundings. and
others have been unhappy in the most
fortunate. In the final count, it de-
ponds upon the individual.
It is to themselves then that a couple
must look to insure happiness in married
life. They must, therefore, know each
other well. They should sound each
others natures to the depths before they
marry. II is too serious a matter TO neg
lect, because Of convention. and too much
s at stake to deceive If a man has
bad habits, he should tell his fiancee of
them. II isn't just TO her TO marry her
without her having this knowledge. If
she. goes on with the marriage. it is OPEN
seyed and willing 10 take the conse-
squences OF her act.

CASTERS OF MANY KINDS.

Leather might scarcely seem a suitable
material for any sort of wheels. but il is
used nevertheless for the making of cas-
ter wheels.
Disks of leather OF the size required are
cut out and eemented and compressed to-
gether to form the wheel. which is then
put in lathe and turned rounding on its
face Disks of metal are clamped on
either side OF this wheel 20 keep Il to-
gether and in form and to serve as bear
ings for the axle that runs through the
wheel
Leather casters are used on hardwood
floors. Casters for such use are also
made with wheels Of compressed felt
There are made casters with glass
wheels. designed TO serve for purposes OF
insulation, and there are now made bali
bearing casters. one style o. which has
no wheel, but in place of II a ball which
when the furniture is moved revolves on
a circle Of smaller bearing balls within
the caster fitting.
And then caster wheels are made OF
porcelain and OF rubber. OF lignum vitae,
and other hard woods. and great numbers
are made of iron and OF brass. In fact,
when you come to consider not only the
materials of which they are made but
their many styles and sizes you find that
the caster. simple a thing as II might
seem. is made In very great variety.

WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

It is a recognized fact that while evil
appears to be aIarmingly prominent, It is
very small proportion Of life. To one
evil person there are hundreds OF good
men and women. human beings who are
making the most OF their Journey through
life. but the light Of publicity passes
them by to shine in all it's brightness
upon those who have wandered from the
narrow path of goodness.
No matter how loudly we complain Of
the injustice OF being judged by the stand
ards set up by the few frivolous and idle
and altogether exasperating women OF
this country, there will always De NOR
tails who will form their opinions from
the specimens within view. Women OF
wealth will be considered as a lazy, ex-
travagant lot because a few with faults
OF this serious nature have been wide
~ exploited. So the thousands Of busy.
generous women with plenty of money at
their command are being unjustly &C
cused.
never realized what beautiful lives
women really lived till I moved TO a
suburb where money was freely spent
for real comfort and happiness. The wo-
men were cultivated and sweet-natured.
excellent housewives, and the best OF
mothers. yet they found time 10 extend
helping hand wherever it was needed.
They dressed we'll. but not extravagant-
iy, took a reasonable amount of pleasure
in amusements of all kinds. and lived the
wholesome life nature intended as our
portion.
When I hear accusations OF heartless-
ness, extravaganza. and idieness against
American women Of wealth. I have 10 de-
fend the sex, because know so many
who are the reverse of all that, and my
knowledge Is confined TO one suburb.
Think of the thousands which I have
never seen! II is reasonable 10 suppose
that a busy life is the usual one for
women since so much progress has been
made by the sex in the last half century.
Most women have fads, as men have
hobbies. but they are side issues TO the
great work of home-making, or rearing
children or earning living. They are
relaxations with which no reasonable per-
son finds fault. The average woman
does not allow her club interests to in
terfere with home duties, does not neg
lect her children or inpoverish her hus-
band Mere than likely she is saving
money instead of spending It and spoil
ing her children by too much care, but
she knows that Il she s . keep pace
with her husband she must get out into
the world of fresh faces and new ideas
This class Of women is happy and con-
tented with life as 1t comes. but not in
different TO the sweeping criticism which
is aired from time to time.

From The Medical Record.
It is said that the first hospital ever
built in America was erected by the Span
lard Cortez in the City Of Mexico in 1924
It was endowed out of the revenues OBJ

him by the Spanish Crown for his services
In the conquest Of Mexico. The endowment
was so arranged that it still exists and is
paid at the present day. A supervisor is
named by the lineal descendant of Cortez

In this hospital women occupied positions
as nurses and physicians. and in their
care were all cases OF obstetrics and
women's diseases. Considerable was known
by the Indians OF medicine. The Mexican
hospital is a fine building, with arcades
and courtyard. It is an interesting land

How many hair pins does a woman use
when doing her hair? The hair pin edi-

as she has. If she has only two hair
pins she makes her hair stay up with
two, but If she finds twenty in the tcp

Albany. April PA substitute bill for the
Hoey measure. providing for the removal
OF the New York Central tracks from the
street level in Eleventh avenue, New York.
was reported by the Assembly Railroads
Committee to-day, and without objection
advanced to the order of third reading.
Judge D. Cady Herrick. as referee. recently
decided that the raIlroai ! had a franchise
for S9s years in Eleventh avenue. and the
city, which held that the railroad had no
franchise, appealed from the decision. The
bill is 10 be contingent on the decision re-
sulting from this appeal IL the court de-
cides that the railroad has no franchise the
city is TO be allowed either TO assume the
railroad property in Eleventh avenue or
grant a new franchise.
The substitute bill provides that the rail
road must submit plans for removing the
present track within five months for the
approval of the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment. Then the Board OF Est-
mate, the Public Service Commission and
the railroad are TO agree on plans for a
subway or elevated railroad whichever is
found feasible. TO take the place of the
tracks. The work is to be completed within
five years. Steam power is to be discon-
tinued. and no elevated structure is TO be
built in Tenth or Eleventh avenue. The
cost of all improvements is to be borne by
the railroad company except the cost Of ap-
prosches, etc. which the city will pay for.
The SAKE law. providing that the Eleventh
avenue tracks be placed in a subway.
which proved wholly sbortive, is repealed.
and the Public Service Commission may
authorize a change OF route.

BRACKET ATTACKS BARNES
Says Reform Wont End with
Huphes-Creed of Boss Is Pap.

Albany April 2s.-Supporters Of Governor
Hughes I'm the Legislature to-day were not
inclined 20 agree with William Barnes. Jr..
p.ho al dinner Of the Unconditional Club
last night expressed the opinion that Gov
ernor Hughes's retirement from politics
would leave his followers rudderless and at
the mercy Of the political seas.
'If Mr. Barnes thinks that Governor
Hughes's retirement from active politics TO
take place on the bench of the Supreme
Court viii politically maroon the men who
have been battling for more decent con-
ditions in the party" said Senator Brsck,
EFT to-day. 1T shows his habit OF mind and
his entire failure to reckon with the moral
forces OF the situation. Mrs. Partington
thought she could brush back the food tide
with her broom but she failed.
The trouble with Mr Barnes is that he
can never comprehend nor think OF any
party system that leaves out Of account. or
fails 10 put first. party pap and patronage.
The Alpha and omega OF his creed is pap
pap in the way Of Offices pap in the way
OF printing-always pap. pap. pap The
time is at hand when Il Is likely TO be rec
ognized that, while patronage and place are
highly useful in the management OF a
party. they will be recognized as mere tools
used in accomplishing an end, very far re-
moved from the consideration OF either one
Mr.. Barnes is a leftover from the Platt
machine. The party has not much place
for such al present"
Senator Bracket said there was no doubt
in his mind that all of the Senators who
stood with him and who we're regarded as
insurgents would indorse his remarks
Senator Agnew declared that the SEN
atOrs who had stood by The Governor were
in politics before he was and that the re-
form movement would be carried on ire

was 10 retire from the political arena.
