who narrowly escaped with his life
in an explosion, where he lost the use
of both arms.
He slipped his milk in silence
thorugh a straw, shook some change
out of his pocket to the waiter, and

sensl,lxensss Of the Compass.

Here is a strange tale OF the sea re
vealed in a recent British Admiralty
order. The compass OF one OF II. NJ.
ships suddenly became strangely and
violently DETECTED. After a host Of
inconcluslve speculations the helms
mar naively wondered whether his
medical truss had anything 10 DO with
the case. Investigation disclosed the
fact that this instrument was highly
mRenetized and responsible for the
variations. So henceforth no trussed
sailor is to be permitted at the wheel
Nav not this discovery supply the key
to sundry nautical mishaps never yet
satisfactorily explained?

Man Not Equal to Wife in Bust

Race 6etterment League Debaters
Place Mascullnity in Spendthrft
Class-Can't Use Money
intelIisentIy.

Chicago.-Woman as compared with
man in the business world is not only
his equal, but vastly his superior.
Women can and do succeed where
men fail. Give woman business edu-
cation, and she will displace man in
any line of business which she
chooses to follow.
These were the sentiments ex-
pressed at the regular weekly meeting
of the Race Betterment league.
The subject under discussion was,
Are Women Capable of Handling
Money in Lump Sums?"
Mrs. Minona S. Jones, president of
the league, said: 1T is an insult to
women that they should be questioned
as to their ability to handle money to
good advantage. The laws are wrong
when man is given superior power and
control through the privilege of the
ballot and men show that they despise
women as a class when they deprive
them of the privilege and opportunity
to invest their own money. Much do
mestic discord is caused because wom-
en- have money in the home and won I
give 1t to the husband to squander
foolishly, when he himself has dem
onstrated that he is not fit to take
care Of It."
Mrs. Mary !. Engler. vice-president
Of the organization. was asked for her
opinion on the subject and spoke
sharply and to the point
Are women capable Of handling
large sums? Well" she asked and con-
tiuued: 81 should say they are. Take
for example Mrs. Hettie Green, Helen
Gould and Mrs. Molbe Netcher. 1t is
fact that most Of the palatial homes
that we have in this country today are
