SOME ESSENTIALS
OF B|TUL|TH|C

The essential principles OF btu
lithic are the durability and resist
ance to destructive traffic and other
conditions, which can be only se-
cured through the use OF mineral
ingredients so combined as to have
almost the coinpactness and resist
ance OF solid stone. However. the
solid stone would not be suitable
because OF its lack OF resilienCv and
the absence of elasticity the ten
dency to abrade and thus wear away
under the influence OF traffic. In
bitulithic the desirable es>entia,
elements have been preserved and
the weaknesses eliminated BY tbs
combination of various sizes Of
stone so mixed as TO reduce the
voids or interstices TO a minimum
and these voids are filled with .
waterproof elastic cement which
produces the necessary ease Of
traction and at the same time
binds the mineral ingredients per
manently together.

FRENCH AND ENGLISH WOMEN
System of Providing "Dot" Makes
for the independence of tho
Former.

Though there is far less suffrage
propaganda in France, the superior
position of the French woman has
often been noted. If the husband
keeps a shop, she keeps it, too; there
is no question of her capacity for
business, nor is her share in the joint
business regarded as interference.
With rare exceptions it is almost i'm
possible to imagine the English wom-
an in position so entirely taken for
granted But then she starts on dif-
ferent basis. In France, the portion
less girl would be fairly certain not
to marry; from the moment of her
birth, therefore, her parents set to
work to provide her with dot" In
cidentally, the dot" system is per-
haps the greatest incentive to thrift
so entirely lacking in this country,
says London Truth. The lowered girl
goes to her husband with a certain
solid backing-which proves its value
in times of stress and illness-and is
not only willing but prepared to work.
The average English woman, on the
other hand, will be independent but
she is also romantic. And romance
with her prefers the role of beggar-
maid to King Cophetua. In her heart
Of hearts she likes her husband to
raise her to his SIDE" She scorns
romance on a business basis. Too
late does he realize that the small
business or professional man cannot
really afford the luxury of house
keeper. He spends on her more than
he gets from her. Her value to him is
one of 'estime," in a day it may be
reduced to nil. The independence she
hoped to increase by marrying de-
ponds entirely Oh her kindness or
forbearance

AND olxoN's LINE
Geographical Division That Has Fig

Except for Dis lance of % miles
the line was naked out by Charles

1853, and December 26, 1857. Each

intervening milestones have the let

During the progress of the violent
debate In congress in 1920, which re-
suited in the historic measure known
question of excluding slavery from
Missouri, John Randolph made use OF
the phrase Mason and Dixon's Line
as the dividing line between slave and
free states, Maryland being slave
holding state and Pennsylvania a free
state. At that time the crossing OF
this line meant freedom to the fugi-

dolph drew attention to Mason and

indicative Of a bar to freedom.

May Ignore Further Attacks on

Philadelphia. April 22.-Dr. Hermann v.

Of the University OF Pennsylvania. made
public to-day formal reply 10 Professor
George Barton. of Bryn Mawr College. who
was reported as having said in recent
speech AZ Baltimore that tire Babylonic
tablet which Dr. IIilprecht had found, and
which he declared upheld the Bible story of
the flood. was a fabrication and an ex-
ploitation OF an archaeology fraud for pure
ly sensational purposes
Dr. Hilprecht refers to DR.. Barton. and
particularly 10 Professor a. t. Clay, Dr.
Hilprecht's colleague at the University OF
Pennsylvania. who agreed with the con-
tents of Professor Barton's paper. DIR. Hill
precht says:
II maintained. and still maintain. most
vigorously. that the Deluge tablet discov-
cred by me is the oldest thus far known.
that II belongs to period prior TO Rim
Sin. or about 21oo r. G.: that II has a
special significance for the Old Testament.
This conclusion as to the age OF the tablet
has already been accepted BY five leading

ton, who thus far have expressed 10 me
their view on this matter"

this light, must. in particular, reject any
