A woman financially indepen-
dent and self supporting has a
right to propose.
The barbaric and senseless
old convention that denies wom-
en- the right of selecting their
mates is to be broken down
Men will soon see how much
to their advantage it is to marry
women who have had an equal
privilege with themselves of
showing their preference.
Woman's inherent intuition
will spare her the chagrin of being
refused. She won't propose un-
til she knows what the answer
will be.
II is the only way man can be
sure a proposal shows real pref
erenoe, and not merely compro-
mise on the part of the women
because they (the women) have
no other choice.
So says Miss Maria Thomp-
son DaViess, of Nashville, Tenn,
writer, miniature painter, girl
farmer and craftsman, comment
ing on the recent report from
Chicago that more women than
men are proposing in that city.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S ~ Women
proposes and man says-'yes, is the
way Chicago accounts for a wonderful
increase in marriage the past six
months, and the statement is backed
up by John H. Mack, of the Marriage
License Bureau of Chicago, and the
Rev NJ. P. Boynton, of the Lexington
Episcopal Church. The latter says
he has evidence that many women
are proposing, especially widows; and
that women generally will propose
when people come to believe that it
is woman's right to choose and to
make known her choice.
Miss Maria Thompson Daviess.
of Nashville Tenn. writer, miniature
painter, farmer and craftsman, spoke
her mind on the subject to-day.
81 thought l was ahead of my
time exploiting a new idea when
wrote of Evelina's experiences in The
Tinder Box" she said; but I find
that all American women are think
ing about the same thing. OF course,
/ believe in a woman proposing. The
barbaric and senseless old conven-
tion that denies women the right of
selection is to be broken down-and
triumphantly, too, with no sacrifice
of the Asacredness of womanhood."
Pride Will Be Safeguard.
But of course" continued Miss
Daviess, "a woman's pride will make
her refrain from courtship, as does
her mother-man, until she is finan-
cially Independent and self-support-
ing, lest she be put in the position
of a mendicant. Men are sensible
business-like creatures, and they VIII
soon see how much to their advan-
tage it is to be married to women
who have had an equal privilege with
themselves of showing their prefer
ences."
"But think of a woman's chagrin
If she is rejected, was interpolated.
Men don't propose to women u1-
til they know what the answer is
going to be-" continued Miss Daviess.
Women are not going to be out
done, they will be even more clever

intuitions."

Narrowly Escaped Death

Word has just been received here from
Georgetown, s. g., OF a thrilling expert
ence OF four Pennsville, N. j., boys, who
have been fishing there. Oscar tanning,
Henry Wright, Warren Whitsell and
Harold Wliitsell were fishing in Winyah
Bay, near Georgetown, when a heavy
storm arose, driving their boat far out
to sea, and they spent the night battling
with the elements. Almost exhausted
from bailing water, they spent the next
day in agony, but toward night the sea
Gained, though no land Was in sight.
They spent four days at sea, living on
what provisions they had taken with
them and drinking sea water.
Warren Whitsell became crazed and
to prevent him from jumping overheard
his companions had to fasten him in the
boat. They had about given up all hope,
when in the distance they saw the
smoke of an approaching steamer. Fast
ening q coat to al oar they signaled.
the steamer, which picked them up. The
steamer was the kathleen, bound for
Georgetown. The men were given med
ical aid and taken back to their boarding
places.

Penns Grove Sued For Sewer plans.

Clyde Potts, sanitary engineer of Nor
ristown, who has an Office in New York
City has sued the Borough of Penns Grove.
for $500 for furnishing sewer plans made
and delivered. The deputy sheriff served
notice on the mayor last week.
A few years ago the State Board OF
Health sent inspectors to Penns Grove
and other towns along the Delaware
river to give notices that those who had
been running sewage into the river should
stop, because it polluted the water. Salem
City and other towns we're compelled to
put in sewer plants.
While Mr.. Potts was at work on Sal
ems plans in 1911 he came to Penns
Grove and agreed to furnish plans for q
sewer system to be approved by tile
State Board OF Health for $500. Such a
price was considered very low. The May
or and Council employed Mr.. Potts to
make the plans and the $500 were put
into the tax budget Of 1911, with which
to pay the bill.
The election in 1911 brought a change
OF officials as well as a change of political
faith. The new Democratic Mayor and
council had no use for the plans and the
solicitor advised that there was 10 law to
have such made. Hence the n-on-payment
followed.
The 1912 report of the State Board OF
Health shows that the plans were approx
ed.
