Possible Cost Not Known.

Until such valuations have been estab-
lished the commission practically will
mark time in the matter of looking into
questions relating to charges maintained
by local public service corporations. For
this reason the board is anxious to un-
dertake the work as soon possible.
but as yet little is known as TO what
the cost will be.
Property valuations may be established
in two ways. The work may be done by
the boards own officials and employees or
let out under contract to firms which
make a speciality Of investigations of this
character. If il is found that there are
not sufficient funds for the adoption of
either method and this important phase
OF it's work is threatened with being held
up until the end of the next fiscal year,
the commission may ask Congress for an
additional appropriation. The propos.-
ton has not been formally considered.
but it Is believed the commission will
appeal to Congress rather than delay in
vestigations into rates.
Soon to Begin Duties.
J. G. Williams. recently appointed sta
tistician and accountant for the commits
sion. will enter upon his duties June /.
He will commence at once the prepara-
tion of accounting and statistical sys-

will not be able to arrive at conclusion
as to what money it will have available
for the esta blishment of property yalua-
tions until after Mr.. Williams has looked
into the accounting and statistical prob
lem.

Why HOr1E-LOVING Woman Is the Best Air Woman

suffering. All this Is due to their greater
nerve tension, which has come with their
greater advance from primitiveness
The greater nerve tension has produced
a different kind of nerves. Scattered
through the membranes of their bodies are
nerves of finer, more delicate order. Men
sneeze more violently than women because
in the membrane lining Of the nose are a
finer grade Of nerves, more delicate, more
sensitive to intruding dust or to changes Of
temperature.
The woman who mas developed along
lines of domesticity has little or no such
nervous constituencies. Her sensibilities are
coarser, because they have never been de-
veloped to the knife-like edge Of mans. 1t
Is not according to some aeronauts-Claude
Graham White, believe among them-not
nerve. but lack Of nervousness that makes
great aeronauts. Nervousness during an
ascent Is fatal. That state which we term
"nervelessness." the absence of finely attuned
nerves, is better than courage in an emer-
gency.
Imperturbability is safeguard, and the
woman of low order of nervousness is i'm
purturbable

mans activities caused him to acquire finer
and more delicate nerves He has steadily
become more nervous and more sensitive to
pain. This incapacitates him for the con-
quest OF the air. while womnn's lack In these
respects fits her for it.
The comparative insensibility to pain is
important because many aviator has
dropped to death because the singing cold
Of the upper attitudes has caused him. mo-
mentarily. TO lose control of his machine.
Again, in driving an aeropane, the avl-
ator's position Is more nearly Quadrupeda
than in any other form Of locomotion. The
aviator almost literally flies all tours. He
does this because he attain the best
balance in this position. Here the same
primitveness which gives woman the lead
in ncrvelessness also comes to her aid She
is OF structure more nearly the quadruped
than is man. 1t is more natural and easier
for her TO drop on all tours and she can get
about more freely in that posture than man
Dr. Havelock Ellis makes the assertion
that the realization that woman lis still an
atomically Quadruped is the greatest sur
gcal triumph of the nineteenth century" In
this connection he defended woman's use of
the corset, saying that it Is needed to keep
organs designed by nature for horizontal
position, in a vertical one.
Man having learned what woman has only
lmperfectly learned, to stand upright, needs
no corset. This quadrupedal tendency, to-
gether with the fact that her bones are
lighter and she has less specific gravity than
man. aids her in flying. as 1t does in swim
ming. When timidity does not restrain them
women are much better swimmers than men,
The field OF woman's sight Is larger than
mans The report states 1t thus: 1.-THE arc
OF woman's vision is nearly twice that of
man.. In other words, while man. trained
to concentrate his sight upon one object, sees
with only limited part the centre, of the
retina OF his eye, woman. through centuries OF
Safeguarding habits, Of looking, so to speak,
out of the tail OF her eye. he's kept the faculty
of sight throughout the periphery Of her re-
tina. While looking straight ahead she can
see what is happening at either side of her
and for short distance behind her. This
power she shares with the savage and most
of the lower animals-the rabbit and she be-.
ing about equal in this respect.
The faculty is enormously valuable in the
air Graham-White, among Others has said
that 1t is Of the utmost Importance to the
aviator to be able to see every change in the
skies above him and the land about him.

Of Amerlca)
THERE is truth in the contention that
woman--because Of her primitive
qualities-may yet rule the air. But
the type Of woman who will do so Is the
quiet, stay-at-home woman--the housekeeper,
housewife and mother.
That 1t should be she. the woman Of the
hearth instead OF the woman of public ac-
ton, is capable of scientific proof Since
the dim ages of the world. when men and
women were OF equal primitiveness, man
has developed far, and penalty of his
mighty concentration has been an acute ten
sion Of the nervous system and correspond
ing sensitiveness to pain.
If men were called upon TO bear the pain
that is visited upon women, especially in
maternity. <hey would suffer doubly, and
many of them would die. Even lesser pains
ordinarily borne by women would send
them running about the house screaming

MI Girl of France" has just been made
AvA a Chevalier OF the Legion of Honor
as reward for her skill as an aviator. Mile
Dptrieu ie one of few women to receive this
decoration
France has given 1t to her because the Blu
reau of War has become convinced that
women make better aviators than men, and
60 in its struggle 10 perfect its aeroplane
service wishes TO encourage women to enter
that field of action!
The great ambition of the French is to keep
far ahead of ali other nations In aviation.
The belief that the victories of the future
will belong TO those who are strongest IN
the air has become firmly ingrained in the
national mind Therefore, France is spend
ing more than any other nation on this
branch OF service and is making extended
and varied researches into the problems and
possibilities of aviation In the course OF
these experiments, not long ago, series OF
tests we're made to determine the effects of
altitude and speed on the human body and to
test the reactions under the conditions OF
flying Both men and women we're used IN
the experiments and when the results were
outstripped the men on all points!
Other experiments were made and the ex-
perts in charge. as a result, have come TO
the surprising conclusion that woman make
so much better aeroplane drivers than do
men that in the future she will literally rule
the air. .
The report OF the scientists to the Var
Department as cabled from Paris. gives eight
- controlling factors for this supremacy:
First--Because woman is more primitive
than man.
Second-Her nerves not so delicate,
and SO she is less nervous.
Third-She feels pain less than man does.
Fourth--She needs less oxygen in her
breathing.

Consuming less oxygen than man--she is a
