Electric railways have been extended

Big Year for Electrical Development

The new developments and the won
derful growth of the electrical industry
during the year just closed bear out the
assertions Of many eminent scientists
and inventors who claim the industry Is
as yet in Its infancy and that the time
is not far distant when nearly every
thing involving the use Of power will be
electrified.
II is difficult to believe that a business
which yearly manufactures more than
s25aoOo.oW worth Of machinery and APP
paratus is but an infant. 1t is hard 10
imagine what child of this size would
develop to when fully matured, and yet
every year shows that it is growing with
leaps and bounds. In ten years the
value of the electrical products increased
by I5o per cent and it is still growing
year after year.
Among the most notable developments
in the electrical field during tie year
just closed can be mentioned the fol-
lowing:
Wireless telegraphy has been developed
until messages are being received be-
tween San Francisco and Japan, or
across the Pacific ocean.
The worlds largest steam turbo-gen-
orator. a Curtis machine OF 1000 rated
horse power. has been built and put in
operation at the waterside station of
the New York Edison company. This
single generator. driven BY steam tur-
blne engine will generate enough cleo
tricity to supply the entire state of
Delaware.

No. II Is the man who Is so proud OF

for his calling: It Is the man who thinks
that there is no business In the world

here you find the explanation Of nearly
all OF woman's failures, and the root OF
her troubles and miseries.
She has so little pride in herself that
she does not do her best work. She has
so little pride in herself that she does
not demand the best OF others for herself.
You doubt the statement? Let us con-
slider II. Take the matter Of marriage.
for instance. Rather an important thing
to a woman. Much more important to
her than TO a man, because Il means not
only her happiness. but her bread and
butter, the whole Of her opportunities in
the world.
Hence marriage Is a much more Inn
portant affair to women than 10 men. A
woman given a million times more in mar
rage than a man does. but so little pride
has she in herself and so little value
does she esteem the gift she makes that
she has never even thought that she had
as much right to the selection Of her
mate as a man has to the selection Of
hts.
There are plenty OF women who would
like to marry. There are plenty of women
who know whom they would like to marry
and who are sitting upon the stool Of
patience with their fingers crossed for
luck, humbly hoping and praying that
the particular one they desire will con-
descend to ask them But they haven't
got enough pride IN themselves to 20 TO
the men and say: Look here, / am going
to offer you the grandest present on
earth. ! am going to offer you a woman's
priceless love and deathless devotion and
you ought to go down on your knees and
thank me for it,
Oh. no, No woman has nerve enough to
value herself so high. On the contrary,
she waits-and waits-and waits. And II
the man doesn't ask her she marries some
other man who does, and she is grateful
TO him for taking pity on her.
Also consider woman's lack OF pride
In the man she marries. Before an ordi-
narily decent man will marry a girl she's
got to produce a certificate Of character
that shows that she is as pure as snow.
but no girl ever thinks of investigating a
mans past, unless Il is so notorious that
the newspapers have already printed II.
She doesn't dream Of such a thing as ex-
pectipg to get as good as she gives. In
deed. so humble are women in this re-
spect that every day We see good. limo
cent girls marry bleary old FOUNDERS as
IL they thought any kind Of a husband
was good enough for them.
OF course, trouble follows. Broken
hearts follow. Death and disease follow.
so that is is not too much to say that
half Of the matrimonial misery In the
world could be avoided II only women
had enough pride In themselves to de-
mand that the men they marry make q
fair trade with them. and bring as clean
q slate as they expect their wives to.

Why have women no pride in them

take themselves at the value that men
place upon them. For centuries men have
written women's price tags, and women
have accepted them. They have been
