WHEN WOMAN WAS SOLDIER
David LIoyd.Georss Says That Her
Reputation in Battle Stands
Very High.

They say you cannot make good
soldiers out of women. You have
never tried. There was a race at
one time, I believe, that had an army
of women, and it's traditional reputc
in history stands very high. The
women gave up the job; they thought
it was better suited to the intellect Of
men. But after all, men, of course,
are better for some tasks; women are
better for others equally important.
Men make the better soldiers, women
make the better nurses. After all,
fhe healing of wounds is a nobler
work than inflicting them. What is
more, it demands higher qualities
of brain and heart.
War, after all, is not a permanent
institution. Heaven forbid that it
should be. The duel is vanishing,

IN DANGER FROM LIGHTNING
obssrvatories on Lofty Mountains
Often Struck II They Are
Built In the Snow.

One Of the greatest dangers to
mountain observatories is from
lightning. This was illustrated last
year, when the observatory on the
summit of Mont Blanc was struck;
one man was injured so badly that he
has since died.
The reasons for this danger are
evident. The ground is frozen and
snow is a bad conductor of electric
ity. This particular. building is Of
wood, buried in the. snow. The roof
was covered with copper plates, but
the copper is not to be blamed as the
building was, struck by. lightning in
1909 while building and before the
copper was put on. ,.s: J.
Another Mont Blanc observatory,
built in the snow, was struck a few
years ago, with the result that nails
were forged together. This was III:
spite Of a lightning rod supplied With
a wire cable toa rock 3ooyards away v.
In spite Of additional lightning
rods, the shocks continued. On one
occasion a visiting guide reported
that for two hours and a half he
watched ribbons of fire passing hori.
zontally acrnss one of the rooms.
Not far from these is another OBJ
s%ervatory that in Is years has never
been touched by lightning. Instead
of being built in the snow, it rests
directly on the rock. It's copper roof
and even the stovepipe I connected
with the lightning rods, from which
conductors lead down into the rocks
and are fastened to them.

Sixty years ago there appeared in.
the newspapers notice#of the disco.
luton Of 4 scholastic partnership ii il
the neighborhood Of London, which l'l'
was signed BY one Of the teachers Of
youth with his mark.
Disclosures of this sort. do not,

but a northern schoolmaster came.
near to falling q victim to effrontery
of a somewhat similar character the
other day.
Being in urgent, need Of a tutor,
he opened up negotiations with a
"master Of languages" whose inval-
liable services were on offer in the
columns Of a London newspaper.
Could he speak French? the
schoolmaster demanded of this par
agon. Oh, yes, fuently. Had he a
nodding acquaintance with Italiana?
Indeed, he had-wase xcellently we'll
versed in it, in fact.
These answers pleased the school,
master nightly, but he was an en-
thusiastic stamp collector, and pre-
ferred to have, if possible, q tutor
with corresponding tastes; so he tel
egraphed the question:
"Haye you uany knowledge of
philately?
And back came the triumphant
answer:
"Can speak it like a native, siry!'
The negotiations ended abruptly.

"Aha!" says he, 'Ill pinch EN-"
But he didn't. The two fed, leaving

POSTAL STATISTICS.

At the request Of The Enquirer
Miss Maggie Moore, postmaster al
Yorkville, has kindly compiled certain
statistics relating to the Yorkville Of
flee for the year ending June 80. that
ought to be of special interest to bus
mess people, and at the same time
suggest something to do.
The sale of stamps, stamped envel-
opes. and postal cards amounted to
$7.060.35.
The number of money orders issued
was 5,067.
The number of money orders paid
was 1928.
The total amount of money carried
in the money orders issued was $19,-
.117.52.
The total amount of money carried
in the money orders paid was $10,-
1888.
The total number of registered
parcels and letters delivered was LOTT
and the total number Of registered
parcels and letters dispatched was
S21. making the total number handled
1898.
The total amount of cash handled
by the local postoffice during the year
was $26,72S.31.
The most significant items in the
foregoing are those showing the num-
ber of money orders received as COM
pared with those sent out and the
amount of money coming into the
town by mail compared with the
amount going out.
While it Is not practicable to give
exact figures, it is nevertheless a fact
that most Of the postoff1ce orders that
go out of Yorkville go out In connec-
ton with mail order" business.

- Washington, July "a: The house
committee on agriculture today recon-
mended an immediate appropriation of
$4,000 to stop the ravages Of the army
worm in southern states. Secretary
Wilson asked for it. Representative
Heflin of Alabama told the committee
the worm was stopping railway trains
in his district. The committee will try
to rush the appropriation through be-
fore the agricultural appropriation Is
put through. Because of the delay OF
congress in passing the agricultural
appropriation bill, Secretary Wilson
and Representative Aiken of South
Carolina have taken money from their
own pockets to pay the travelling ex-
penses of F. M. Webster, expert ento-
mologist, who has gone south to inves-
tigate an outbreak Of the army worm
on the corn and cotton crops. Word
was received today from Prof. Webster
at Anderson, S. c., that the pest was
doing much more damage than he had
expected. South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee
are the states in which the army worm
already has appeared to an alarming
degree. The last previous serious out
break of the sort was about ten years
ago.

There is pending in congress wit

There is pending in congress with
favorable report, a bill providing
that whisky sent from one state to
another becomes subject to the laws
of the state to which it is shipped i'm
mediately upon it's arrival. 1t has
long been the cry Of prohibitionists
that the United States government was
a serious obstacle in the way Of the
enforcement Of the prohibition laws.
and whisky people have insincerely
urged that they would favor prohibi-
ton If there was any way Of getting
rid Of the interstate traffic. This bill
that is now pending Is a good one,
well calculated to accomplish the OBJ
ject desired: but as to whether 1t Is
going to pass is doubtful. We fear
that it's principal purpose is to enable
congressman to claim how they tried
to do something and failed. But peo-
pie who really want the measure to
become a law should not rest on their
oars. They should write their con-
gressmen and senators to do what
they can. If one-third Of the people
who actually want such a law, will
write their congressman, 1t will go
through. Otherwise the mail order
whisky houses who will be put out of
business by this law will have their
way, and the bill will be killed.

the CASA while holding the act uncon.

the case, while holding the act uncon-
stitutional by reason Of certain imper-
fections in the act itself, declares that
the establishment and maintenance of
a system Of warehouses Is clearly
within the police power Of the state.
The chief grounds upon which the law
was found to be unconstitutional were
that the public debt was increased
without submitting the question to the
qualified electors and also that por-
tion of the amount to be appropriated
was to be available in 1912 and part In
1913, which Is contrary to the consti-
tuition.
In concluding it's opinion the court
reiterates the doctrine laid down pre-
viously in the opinion in these words:
"Of course, the conclusion that the
statute under consideration Is void In
it's entirety does not mean that in It's
general scope 1t Is not a police regu-
lation, but that>it cannot be given ef-
feet In its present form by reason OF
its failure in certain respects to COM
ply with the requirements Of the con-
stitution."
The vital principle involved in the
act Is not In violation of the constitu-
tion, and the defects which rendered
the law unconstitutional having been
pointed out in the able opinion, the
friends of the measure can easily rem
edy them at the next session of the
general assembly.
1t is gratifying to know that the es-
tablishment Of the warehouse system
while delayed somewhat by imperfec-
tions in the draft of the measure, car
be consummated at an early date, as II
will, If properly established by all OF
the southern states, afford our farmers
an opportunity to hold their cotton fol

least exercise control over the market
