WOMAN'S ACHIEVEMENT AS
LEADER OF WRECKING CREW

fectly at home with the problems of
the situations which arise in an ordi-
nary days work. 1t is easy to see
that, singular though the vocation is
for woman, Mrs. Kelly's heart and
soul ale in it. Standing with one arm
resting on her hip, and carrying in
her other hand a big, driving whip,
which she uses, when not in her
buggy, for pointing out directions to
the men, she forms a striking central
figure against this rude background.
She wears a rakish-looking black hat,
secured by a veil, a plain black skirt,
cut full and unhampering, and a stout
rair of heavy-soled boots.
Mrs. Kelly is not the least mannish,
but rather primitively feminine.
Like a good general, she goes with
her cohorts into the very heart of the
ruins whatever the danger, and all
questions of procedure relating to the
task in hand are settled by her on the
ground. The problems are manifold
according to the work undertaken.
Experience and study have made her
a practical mechanic. able to conpre~
bend at glance the technical difficult
ties of job, and she has acquired a
quick eye and ready head for estimat-
ing values, for often the available
material, separated from the waste. Is

PRIMITIVE GRUB GOOD.

Primitive man in the British Isles
did not fare so badly, if conclusions
drawn by two Scotch Psychologists,
A. Henderson Bishop and Ludovic
Mann, who have been exploring the
Islet of Oronsay, be true. The tiny
piece of ground, which lies off the
Argyll coast, is rich in ancient
mounds, and the results of an exam
nation of some Of these has just been
reported to the Scottish Society of
Antiquaries.
An immense amount of material in
the mounds was sifted and scrutin-
lied in the most minute fashion, and
great quantities of objects were Sc
cured for further examination in the
laboratory. The material consisted of
worhed-out implements and weapons
of shell, horn, bone and stone. The
Oronsay man, who existed a a remote
epoch during which the Scottish eli
mate is supposed to have been like
that of Greenland today, is proved
to have lived no precarious and mis-
cradle life. He had a dietary more
lavish and more varied, perhaps, than
that OF the average Briton of the
present day. His food consisted Of
nuts and the flesh of various animals
and birds, among them the now ex-
tinct great aux, the red deer, the wild
swine, the seal and the otter. Twenty
four various kinds of molluscs and
twelve of fish stocked his larder He
ate crabs and sea urchins. but
strangely enough did not deVour lob

SOCIAL DISTINCTIONS.

John Sharp Williams. United States
Senator from Mississippi. tells this
In the early days of the Republic
of Texas some English noblemen
were travelling throughout that coun-
try. They were entertained by one
of the local magnates who had set
tied there, and he took the English
noblemen down to the only gentle
mems" club existing at that time
within the confines of the republic
the public barroom: and while down
there he concluded that he would
impress the barkeeper with the mag
nitude Of his social standing. So he
turned to one of his guests and said:
MY lord. I believe YOU are a marquis
in your own country"
Yes
Then addressing another guest:
And. my lord. I believe you are an

UNMANACEABLE NAMES.

Osher Avrooschchenskoy formerly
of Russia, bnt now an American citi-
zen, asks the court to change his
name to August Abrahamson. 1t is
to be hoped that the court will com
ply. Eastern Europe is sending us
MANY sturdy immigrants. They soon
adopt and accommodate Themselves
to American ways, but the names of
many of them do not admit of easy
naturalization. Americans can neither
spell, pronounce nor remember them
accurately. This gives the owners OF
them endless trouble at the post Of
flee and in doing business. and many
of those who bear then soon discover
that O simpler name, more in har~
mony with the written and spoken
language of the country of their adop-
ton would save them from endless
trouble and annoyance.
These strange foreign names tend
in usage to get softened down to
something that the average Ameri-
can tongue can handle. 1t is better,
however, to have the change made
by q court and q record of the old
name preserved, for possible identifl-
cation purposes thereafter. The long,
uncouth, hard -to-spell foreign names
ought to be changed freely and syste-
n4atically for general convenience. A
law of Congress expressly authorizes
Judges in natGralizing aliens to give
them at the same time pronounceable
names If they are willing to make
The change Some judges are very
unwilling to change names, but this
is due TO their ultra conversation. A
man who comes here to improve his
condition generally ought TO be able
to improve his name at the same time

as to be unpronounceable and alto
gether unmanageable by the native
born citizens of this country. -Phila-

A diminutive, modest-appearing
woman, perched commandingly on
charred remains of scattered debris,
amide the ruins of carriage factory
at First street and East Grand ave-
nue., issued these mandates with firm
voice and compelling gesture.
A sturdy crew of twenty FIVE or

might be noted Rumanian, Lithuan-

to the orders.
Six days out of the week Mrs.

Has Large Family.
Mrs. Kelly is a woman of middle
age and has reared large family.
She Is brunette, short and stocky
and of wonderful physical energy.
Because of her genuine interest in her
husbands affairs and her eminent sue
cess in handling this class of labor,
she has become equally active with
him in the business
Almost any hour of the day she
may be seen directing a squad of
workmen on the Grand avenue job.
The work consists mainly in separat-
ing and classifying the rubbish and
| taking it off the lot. Six or eight
teams are kept busy carting the
wreckage. This is considered by Mrs.
Kelly a comparatively small contract.
It is not an uncommon thing to see
her leading seyenty-five or one hum

in labor circles and with the captains
of industry for the resourcefulness
and tact she displays.
| Her control and influence over her
employees is remarkable. Never a
murmur or dissenting voice is raised

given. Most of the men have been
in the employment of the firm a mum

Do you remember yesterdays
story, children?
Dorothy Dear was telling Davie
about the Christmas trees that had
served their purpose and been cast.
with many others, into an empty
lot, where they lay on the ground
and told each other tales of brighter
days.
And now we'll take up the story
Two of the trees were telling their
experiences.
!" There was q long train Of cars
right in front of me- Dragged the
First Tree, and the tracks ran
around in a big figure eight. And
little light haired boy with the
bluest of eyes wound up the engine
and laughed until every one OF his
pretty teeth cleaned. One day
another little boy came to play with
him, and such fun as they had. j or
a time l thought they'd smash
everything, and upset me in the
bargain And the First Tree
laughed heartily at the recollection.
1.-The visiting boy was older than
the little boy who lived in my
house. he said, and he started right
in to show him just how roughly
toys could really be handled. He
wound up a toy automobile too
tight and broke the spring, and he
played on the little toy piano with
his drumsticks until the little
golden-haired boys mother came
into the room and took the sticks
away. And then he started to take
off all of my candy canes and eat
them. He was a terror, all right
But we certainly did have good
time.
Its pretty gloomy out here on
the ground, in the dark he added
with a sigh as he tried to make
himself comfortable.
What did the other tree say"
asked Davie the very minute
Dorothy paused for breath.
Dorothy slid from the window
seat and curled up in the low
rocker that stood near.

left in the room where 1t Stood"

was lighted at night, with a hun
dred little electric lights, red and
green and white and yellow"
mo blue ones?" Davie leaned
toward Dorothy excitedly.
Yes" declared Dorothy, there
were many blue ones, and when
they were all lighted the tree
looked very beautiful indeed.
SO you see,, said the Second
Tree, proudly, L was more beauti-
full than you, and more people ad-
mired me.
THE First Tree would not admit
this.
Keep your electric lights it
haughtily remarked. You should
have seen me, glowing with many,
many soft, Pickering candle lights
that made little dancing shadows
on the walls and the toys and the
head of my little golden-ha
boy, who sat on the floor and
watched me with eyes whose STAR
riness almost outshone my candle

WIEE'S PHILOSOPHY.

The French have an innate convic-
ton that a husband cannot remain In
love with his wife for much longer
than six years. At the end of this
period, they say, comradeship, inev-
itably, must take the place of love.
And so, if her husband shows ten
dency to be attracted by an occa-
sional pretty face, the French wife
schools herself into an appearance OF
not minding it in the least Last
summer, as related by George Gross

Wet the spots with kerosene, then

Before trying either of the above
