HUSBANDS IN WAITING.

WHY should any woman be without
a husband when by the expenditure OF
a small amount of money she can be
put in the way of having one or many?
At least the experience Of a Chicago
woman goes to show that potential
husband,l are waiting on every other
corner eady to be gathered in by any
enter2risiCg lady " no happens along
says the indianapolis Star. "Al
woman has to do" sne says. lis to
Join a matrimonial agency" adding
Il am a member of three myself and
a life member of one She is mem
Der of three because her fastidious
taste leads her to become easily dis
satisfied With the prizes she secures,
and her sudden appearance in the
limelight is due to the fact that she
acquired several without the prelimi-
cary of getting divorced from any. and
the fourth one in number for the year
1910 was unkipd enough to enter a
protest. 1t is not, OF course. advisable
to follow the course of the Chicago
woman In taking husbands simultan-
eously; 1t is well to be off with the old
love before being on with the new, at
least legally; but the Chicago WON
ans experience goes to show that men
are not the elusive creatures that
some suppose, but that more or less
eligible specimens are within the
reach of any lonely lady willing to
take a moderate amount of trouble
and to expend small sum in postage
stamps. In short, women who wish to
marry and have been unable to do so
because of the apparent shyness Of
men nearest at hand should cheer up.

National Conservation Committee
Hope to Form Agreeable Policy.
Washington. - A plan to bring
together the opposing advocates of
federal regulation OF water power
and those who stand for state regula-

which both can agree, Is being consid-

drafted by Philip p. Wells. counsel for
the association, who as former law Of
ficer of the forest service had a large
share in devising the system of water
power regulation In national forests,
is to afford water power platform

the development of many millions Of
horse power now going to waste in the
mountain streams of the far west and
the great rivers of the central and
eastern parts OF the country.
