A few Americans can resist the

one back to dreams of childhood

could keep store when we got big

things of us, All the goods are in

wire, hose and dry goods are all

Why Divorce is so Common Today.
This generation sees divorce more
frequent, not because men and wo-
men are more wicked, but because
married life is made more difficult BY
the excitement and -complexity and
manifold strains of modern life,
uncomfortable. A broad gap opens be.
tween the hot present and the dull
quiet Of other days, when the hus-
band passed his day in steady and
continuous round of work, when no
avenue in life but marriage open
ed before most women, and both
men and women passed lives from
which excitement, worry and the
anxious rush of this day were alb
sent. Any candid man who will re-
construct the life of sixty and eighty
years ago will be convinced that,
while that day had in 1t wuch of
secret wickedness-as court and
church records show-it had also
conditions much less likely to pre-
vent two people from leading quiet.
uneventful and reasonably happy
lives together

Women to Contest.

Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad. was never
more fully Illustrated than in the
action of the Woman's Initiative
League of California. an organiza-
ton that has been formed to work
against all and every movement for
women S enfrancbisement.
4 Constitutional amendment paw
ing the way for. that object after a
second vote on the subject, and ear
ried by small majority, is to be
superseded by aid of the recently
granted initiative and referendum,
whereby sufficient signatures will be
raked and scraped together, it is
hoped, to have the matter resub-
mitted to the State at the Pres
idential election. Headquarters have
been opened, and the petitions are
already in circulation and the NAL
content women are counting on Sc
curing enough signatures in San
Francisco alone to make the sub
mission of the amendment possible.
According to the statement issued
from headquarters the total num-
Der of signatures will not be less
than 40. 900. The amendment grant
ing equal suffrage was opposed by a
vote larger than that. consequently
the women are anticipating little or
no difficulty in carrying their point. I.
The malcontents give as their main
reason for their action that if -wo-
men are granted equality at the polls
that it will be followed by with
drawal of very many courtesies and
privileges which are now SO gladly
given them" That this idea had
been exploded in each and every
State that has granted suffrage I'd
women seems to be as continually
ignored by these malcontents and the
hoary old assertion rises up with
wonderful persistency to do possibly
some service with people who have
not kept abreast of knowledge in
such matters.
Does it not seem almost beyond
belief that women will deny equal
ity to others because they think
they do not want it for themselves?
Is it not a supremely selfish impulse
that prompts such action? Are not
these women using in marked de-
gree the same potentialities that
they deny to others in waging their
warfare against equal rights under
the law?

From Sea to Sea.
The Great Feat Of Transconfinental Aviation
at Last ACCOMPLISHED.

c. P. Rodgers, the transcontinental
aviator, completed his feat Of flying
from Sheephead Bay, N. Y, to
Tournament Park, Pasadena, Cal.
in actual flying time of three days
ten hours and four minutes. The
elapsed time of the journey was,
however. 40 days, during which in
tervals he passed over 1921 miles,
IN 1924 minutes.
The machine used was baby"
Wright that has only an 1S-foot
spread OF wing. The flight began
Sept. 18th, and was finished 40 days
later. The exploit, Rodgers says,
could not be repeated for "a year or
more. Thirty-day trips across the
continent will be out of the question,
until such time as radical improve
ments are made both in flying ma
chimes and their motors.

Each citizen of the United States
under an equal division would have

A Wonderful Lift Bridge.

On. the outskirts Of Sacramento,
California, the Southern Pacific
Company is erecting q steel bridge
across the Sacramento river that
contains the heaviest swing span
Of any bridge in the world. This
span is 400 feet in length and its
weight is 6.300. 900 pounds. The en-
tire bridge, however, will weigh more
than 10000, 900 pounds when it has
all been placed in position upon the
heavy concrete piers.
There are only two steel bridges n
the world that have swing spans
that exceed the new Sacramento
river bridge in length. Ono is across
the Willamette river and is . part oil
the Spokane, Portland and Seattle
railway system. Its weight, how.
ever, is only $500. 900 pounds 90O. 600
less than that of the Sacramento river
bridge. The Omaha Terminal Com-
pany operates large steel bridg
across the Missouri river that has a
swing span $50. feet in length. but
the steel is Of much lighter construc-
ton. the weight being only 800, 600
pounds.
The new Sacramento river bridge
of the Southern Pacific is part OF
the double tracking of the Hartman
lines. It will contain not only two
