SAYS WIFE is BEST SPENDER
Suffragist Hence Draws Moral That
Women Should Handle Nations
Cash, Too.

London.-That the working class
wife is a more efficient spender Of
the household accounts than her mid
die class sister was the contention of
Miss Lucy Yates at a recent meeting
of the Women's Freedom League.
She declared that the principle of
woman having complete control OF the
house was always recognized by the
working classes, but higher in society
there came a sort Of dual control.
Through this responsibility the work
ing wife learned administration, but
by leaning on some one else the mid
die class wife never learned.
The wife Miss Yates said, should
have complete control of the whole
of the money set aside for household
expenses, including housekeeping,
dress and education. There should be
no audit of her accounts unless by
her request. She should be provided
with a checkbook, as more likely to
prove successful than the provision
of loose coins, which might be cajoled
out of her purse by tempting bar
gains.
The speaker declared that spending
was a finer art and much more diff
hcuit than earning. Women should
also choose the house, and it was
high time, according to Miss Yates,
that the women took over the spend
ing of the money for the nation.

SALT WATER MORE BUOYANT
Considerable Difference Between the
Fresh Liquid of the Rivers and
That of the Oceans.

A Chinese lad dropped his ball in
narrow hole and could not get it out,
according to a writer in the Illustrated
Sunday Magazine. So he poured wa
ter in the hole, thinking that he would
float the ball to the surface. AS the
ball was slightly heavier than water,
it remained on the bottom. Then he
thought of mixing salt with the water,
as he knew that salt water would float
denser objects than fresh. This he
did, and was rewarded with the float
ing ball
This particular fact is demonstrated
at the mouths of rivers. Objects roll
ing along the bottom of a fresh river.
TOO heavy to come to the tcF. will rise
when they are carried out to sea. She
general rule also applies to floating
bodies. For instance, ship with
cargo on the sea will sink sometimes
a foot on entering fresh water port.
On the other hand, if she leaves a
fresh water port with her cargo, she
will rise when entering the ocean. So
a ship may be loaded apparently too
much at a wharf and still be all right
on the waves.
In building a dam the fact that salt
water is heavier than fresh must
be taken into consideration, and the
dam for the same head must be good
deal stronger; this too without taking
into consideration the beating Of
waves, etc.
