About Garbaae-But Read II

Her housewives drain all the moist

no flies and practically no smell in
summer.
Along comes the garbage man with
no disagreeable shoveling to do, and
consequently no swearing. He empties
those clean bundles into a large steel
box, then goes ioyously on his way
to the incinerator, where the garbage
is burned in its original packages, pa

clean ashes. No hand has touched 1t
no nose has smelt it, from the kitchen

woMEN,s RIGHTS.

At the state convention of the bank
ers of Nebraska, in session in Omaha
this week, Mr., Edward NJ. Martin,
attorney for the association, delivered
an address on The Banker and the
Married Woman" in which he urged
the bankers to back movement
which would place men and married
women on more equable basis in
financial law, because, at present, the
married woman has too many ad-
vantages over other citizens.
That women in their financial deal
ings are protected with legal barriers
which, not only help, but give undue
advantage, was the statement made
by Mr.. Martin. THE legislature that
passed the laws now in force in this
state in regard to the financial rights
of a married woman might very well
have been made up of women" said
Mr. Martin. because it could not
have given her greater advantages
BY wav of specific instances he cited
the following:
Under these present laws a mar
ried woman's rights may be divided
under four heads. First, she has
right to own property abfolutely II
her own name as much as a man
/ Second. she can contract with regard
10 that property and the contrac
holds good only to her separate estate
\ Right here is one of the woman
4 greatest advantages. Her note o.
/ contract is good only for the separate
4 estate which she possesses at tn
4 time of making the contract or not
and anything she may acquire afte
1 that is exempt. A man cannot eS
4 empt property on any such plea ant
\ there is no reason why womal
4 should be allowed to. A judgmen
cannot be enforced against marie
woman on anything she has acquire
after signing of the paper upon whic
suit is brought, no matter II she ha
inherited a million. Sixty per cen
of cases brought against marie
women on notes have been lost b.
: cause the women did not specify i
the ote that 1t was a liability onl
| against her own separate estate, an
that she herself and not her husban
received the consideration.
The other two rights which ma
ried woman has and should have ar
the right to buy and sell in her ow
name and sue or be sued in her ow
name

Like child from the womb. like a

Is REORGANIZATION.
Or guess her life is neatly planned
To franchise conservation.
She calls on all the men she knows
For votes for ladies pleading,
On every coat she pins rose
With purring voice misleading,
She lets a convert hold her hand,
So sweet, and soft, and human,
Until he vows the cause is grand
And shouts for votes for woman!
Now Susie has motor car,
A private secretary,
So beautiful her motives are
She's thought bit Notary,
Her gowns at Paquin's out she picks,
We're all on Susie betting.

When she goes suffragetting!

POURED HOUSES A SUCCESS.

1t remained for an architect of
Washington, d. G., to work out the
practical details Of one of Thomas A.
Edison's greatest dreams, the build
ing of concrete house by the pouring
method. In this way the cost of build
ing Is cut about in half.
The prediction made some time ago
by Mr. Edison as to the practicability
of pouring concrete houses at a
small cost attracting large attention,
but so far as he is concerned the idea
does not appear to have been success
fully developed. He admitted that his
ST, 200 poured house would necessitate
the use of iron moulds costing not
less than s25,O00. The architect refer
ed to above has solved the problem OF
inexpensive construction, with the re-
suit that at Virginia Highlands. be-
tween washington and Arlington.
some ten houses have already been
put up at an entire cost, exclusive Of
the original molds, which cost only
$500 and which can be used indefinite
| ly in other construction, OF only a.
900. These houses are small but con-
| tain usually six or seven rooms and
every modern convenience. even to
roof garden, in some cases, and out-of-
door sleeping porches.
Around the basis Of the mold all the
problem of successful poured cement
houses has conferred. The Washington
architect believes he has solved the
problem of the mold. The steel mold
used at Virginia Highlands stands rig
| i'd as a box girder, every plate being
| held in line at the four corners. There
/ is no complicated mechanism. Plates
of steel pressed into Hanged sections,
"a inches square, are clipped ana
wedged together, forming a trough
which holds the liquid concrete until
| it hardens; second trough is set up
on top and filled and the process re-
peated. the lower plates being remoy-
ed higher up as this wal! hardens.
These plates also serve as forms for
floors and roof. There are no bolts to
rust and no cast parts to break, all
being held together by steel wedges,
locked by stroke of the hammer and
most easily taken down. BY this in
4 genious system houses of almost any
design can be built with one set OF
plates, and at the same time the walls
can be made any required thickness.
There is quite a colony of these
concrete poured houses at Virginia
Highlands, every one of which was
y sold before completion. After care
full investigation Of them the Della.
ware, Lackawanna & Western railroad
recently placed contract for the
erection of forty dwellings near Scran-
ton, Pa, to be occupied by workers il
their coal mines. 1t is also worthy OF
note that a building firm in Chicago
and another in Boston have purchased
the necessary molds and will shortly
begin the erection of poured concrete
houses in the suburbs of those cities
These houses are said to represent
almost perfect sanitary construction
and many of them are built SO tina
. every room can be flushed out with {
: hose; also many of the fixtures sucf
as bathtubs, sinks, settees, window
: boxes, ETC., are made Of concrete b!
