tragedy in restoring wou1an's confidence
in man and mans confidence in himself
has made it worthy Of the greatest OF
monuments, even were not the feminine

Hardly had the final narrowing details
Of the tragedy been recorded when the
women Of the nation began search
for q method Of expressing their ap-
probation for the heroism OF the men
who had been lost. Thousands OF the
leading women OF the nation conferred
with their associates and most Of these
thought primarily of memorial. In
Washington and New York. where the
tragedy was probably most directly
brought home, the leading women got
together for cooperation. Among these
Mrs John Hays Hammond has repu-
tation for great executive ability and
genius for organization. Gradually she
became the center Of the movement.
Eventually the Woman's Titanic Me-
mortal Association was formed, with
headquarters in Washington.

of the association. Mrs. John Hays
Hammond was made its secretary. Mrs.
William Howard Taft contributed the

applied the heads of all the women's
organizations that are established on a
national basis. From national head
quarters these organizations lined up
their state and local associations and
thus was a beginning made for broad
casting the memorial idea Thus started,
the women's clubs individually applied
for permission to raise funds and play
a part In the tribute to the Titanic
dead. These were granted until the CEN
trail Office at Washington is now asso-
ciated with $4,000 women's clubs and or

abundance Of dainty and tempting food.
Another fad Of the entire Sherman fam
lily is the collecting Of books and a love
Of reading. This is another favorfte oc-
cupation, which the second lady OF the
Utica library is an extensive room which
has gradually been filed with all the
choice in modern literature and with the
standard works of all ages and all nations
along historical and political lines, with
a good preponderance to poetry and fic-
tton. But a knowledge which Mrs Sher-
man possesses In an eminent degree Is
that Of the biography and record af Ia

theme which always makes her smile

Mrs. Sherman comes Of a distinguish
ed family In central New York, and from
her direct line Of ancestry is eligible to
all the exclusive patriotic organizations.
Her grandmother was Emily Ethredge,
and she could trace her lineage back in
the parental line to that famous Ameri-

to be put before the society as a candi-

and put them In shape for resurfacing
and grading with the material so
broken up.
The scariier consists of nine spikes
spaced on bar which is attached to
the rear end of the steam roller. AS
the roller travels forward the spikes
are forced into the surface, tearing
and breaking 1t up to a sufficient depth
to leave the whole mass loose and in
a condition to be easily shaped up by
a grader. The spikes are raised and
lowered by steam, and steam pres
sure is exerted to hold them in the
ground, giving a cushioned compress
sion. When solid rock is encountered,
a piston working against the steam
permits the spike bar to rise enough
to allow the spikes to pass over, but
forces the bar down again when softer
material Is encountered. It is claimed
that no matter what position the roller
wheels take on an uneven road the
scarifier will follow the surface and
ear it up to the same depth in the
.ow as the high places.
