 The school is not the only place where married women are demand ing right of entry, and the problem presented is worth serious consid eration
 Suppose a girl has been a good business woman. but leaves her job to marry. By the time she is 26 or 30 she probably has a child or two just beginning to go to school. Ten years later these children are grow ing fast and need little of her time. Her housekeeping is simple On the other hand. her expenses are in creasing. She wants her children to get the sort of education that Is going to give them the best chance in life; their clothes are getting more eXpensive; she wants to give them pleasures that belong to their time of life
 Her husband is not likely to be getting an increased salary. Some times his productive power decreases just as the family needs increase. Shall this woman sit idle instead of trying to come back into business and use her faculties to the best Of their power?
 You will most of you be married ,rompn coma day oirlS and many of you may have just such a problem to decide.
 A woman of 36 or 40 is capable of the best work of her life if she has kept abreast of the times and has not neglected her health. She should be of value to the commun- j,y and not wSt-ie her tune bored and discontented. worried by petty money troubles and small anXieties.
 Many girls resent the presence of married women in the business world, but try to think the mat ter over fairly and to see her side of it.
 Certainly girl cannot have a better friend in the world than married woman who works beside her, or who is in a superior position. She has met many problems the younger woman has still to face, and her advice and her experience are worth studying.

Lillian Russell Moore, the fair per ennial, says an exchange, has been bitten by the tango bug and is taking lessons at Atlantic City. Miss Russell and her husband. Alexander Moore, of Pittsburg, have a cot tase at the fashionable summer re- sort and intend to stay all summer. One can hardly believe that Miss Russell has to tango to keep in form, despite this is the excuse she gives Rather 1t must be just that she loves to dance or because she wants to prove that she Is just as light on her dainty toes as ever she was, or maybe to prove that. al though she has known lot of cold winters, she is still able to make her calculations by summers.
 The motion-picture field has been the heaven of many an actress with cigarette voice. Ditto the whis- key-voiced actor It doesn't show in the picture, you know.-Oregonian
 A Portland paper says local man. agers are considering an innovation recently heralded from London, where the music halls are about to introduce serial plays as an attrac- tion. The idea is to give one act of a play per day until the entire drama has been presented. Then in case it is a three-act play, another will be put on for the last half of the week. It is thought that in this way the patrons who visit the theatre on Monday, for instance, become interested in the play and will want to see it all-something like reading a continued story in a magazine.
 During his forthcoming visit to Paris William A. Brady. at whose playhouse, "The Things That Count" is still appearing, will superintend the beginning of the moving picture versions of Louis Vance's novel.

San Francisco does not seem to be likely to have an opera house of it's own after all Sometime ago some wealthy citizens guaranteed a fund of s85O000 for municipal opera house to be erected on pro perty belonging to the city and val ued at a million dollars This was hailed as philanthropic act until it was discovered that the philan- thropists had attached a string to their gift in the way of special priv ileges. Those who subscribed $15,- 900 towards the building were to be entitled to reserve a box until ance. A subscriber of $2000 was entitled to two seats until within twenty-four hous. Then the Musical Association of San Francisco wanted ten directors on the board, while the city of San Francisco was to have only five. The mayor of the city came to the conclusion that the wealthy music lovers of San Fran cisco desired to have private mon- opoly on municipal property, and that their generosity was not as disinterested as it at first appear ed. Consequently he vetoed the ordinance when it came before him after having passed the board of supervisors. San Francisco is now in a turmoil over the matter, and the project of municipal opera has become enbroiled in local politics to deplOrable eXtent.-Courier

CEMENT FOR WORN OUT
 KETTLES.

During housecleaning time many agate ware kettles have been dis carded on account of holes while still in good condition otherwise. A good cement is made for these as follows: Equal parts of salt, coal ashes and putty, well mixed; apply to the hole, allow it to par tially dry; then scrape smooth. Dry thoroughly before using and you will find your dish as good as new

A CLEANING MIXTURE FOR TIN.


 A good cleanser for tin is whiting mixed to stiff paste with water or ammonia, but all the powder must be brushed off when dry.
 Another method is to slice down very thinly four ounces of yellow soap, pour over this one quart Of cold water and allow it to stand till the next day to dissolve; then add one pound of whiting and bring to boiling point, keeping it well stir red so as to ensure it's being proper ly mixed; when cold add two ounces of spirits of hartshorn and keep in tightly-corked bottle.
 This keeps almost indefinitely, but must be well shaken before use. Pour a little into a basin and apply with a flannel.

CONCRETE BRIDGES

The use Of concrete IN the con-
structien of highway bridges and oul-
verts is rapidly growing in favor in
all sections of this country
The New York state highway com
mission allows only concrete or cast
iron cllyerts to be constructed on
state highways, and bridges to be
built of steel with concrete floors or
all concrete
The illustration is one of two re-
inforced concrete bridges designed
and constructed in the town OF Pc
tersburg, Rensselaer, county. n. Y,
by, James Austin Mortland This
bridge has a clear span of ,85 feet
with a rise of only ten feet in the
arch. The carrying capacity of this
structure is best shown by a test
made by the county superintendent
five weeks after completion when a
load of 80 900 pounds was placed on
the center of the arch; there was no
evidence of any settlement due To
this excessive load.
This bridge was constructed in
1911 and evidence of the perma-
nency and beauty of such bridges is
given in the following article from
the Troy Times of April 18th, 1914 !;
Ornamental Bridges
Builders of bridges and officials
that have charge of public improve
ments may find object lessons in or
namental concrete work in the two
concrete bridges that span the LITTLE
Hoosick river at Petersburg. These
bridges are made for safety, durabil-
ity. as we'll as for attractiveness. In
stead of the usual plain concrete
bridges, the structures are orna-
mental and much admired by passers-
by.
