vey Wiley when asked to express her
opinion of the rule.
THE argument that a married woman
cannot attend to school duties is ridicu-
lous. In view of modern facilities Tor
housekeeping, household cares need not
weigh so heavily upon a woman, without
children, that she cannot continue in her
life work.
We all realize that motherhood is the
crowning achievement OF woman. When
woman becomes a mother all other
cares should give way. But many mar
ried women are not mothers. Neither Is
there any reason why a woman shouk
not return to her school after her chill
dren grow up II she can bridge the gap
between that time and her earlier teach
ing days"
''MistaIxe to Ban Them.1
Mrs. Louis F. Post. chairman of the
social and industrial committee of the
District Federation of Women's Clubs,
has expressed the following opinion on
the subject:
TT is a mistake to debar a married
woman from teaching; It is a mis-
take, too, to debar a mother from
teaching. 1t is a mistake from both
the standpoint Of the mother and from
the children to be taught. Because pu-
pills need an all-around experience with
persons who will give them impress
sions from all standpoints of life. The
unmarried woman teacher has her
place, and the married woman teacher
and the mother teacher, have places,
too, because of the varying viewpoints
from which they are bound to teach.
The one objection against mother
teachers is that maternity would in
terfere with class work at a time
when such work should not be inter-
rupted. 1 believe this matter could be
adjusted in a majority of cases by CO.
operation Of school officials with mar
ried teachers, IL the teachers would fix
the time of their withdrawal from
school, as nearly as possible, in con-
with school work"

An Arizona Railroad

The length of such railroad from Clifton. the point, where it would connect with the Arizona X New Mexico railway, would about 70 50 miles. Beside the traffic that could be de Veloped by the hauling of timber there would be great tonnage of live stock and other commodities produced in that region between the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific railroads.
 Such a railroad would open to easy access one of the greatest recreation grounds in the southwest carrying, beside the citizens of Arizona thousands of tourists to the White Mountain country. famous for it's summer climate, beautiful scenery and fish ing. Many go from this valley annually into that region and hundreds from other parts of the state and distant states The trip is an arduous one, but, notwithstanding it's hardships, those who make it lay plans for visiting the White Mountains the following summer

WATER sTERiLlzEp BY ELECTRICITY

The electrical method of purifying water will be welcomed, the introduction of chemicals has several objections. If hypochlorte of lime is used in large quantities, odor, and perhaps some taste, will be noticed in the water treated For the effective treatment of water with ul- tra violet rays produced by electricity, mercury vapor lamp should be submerged entirely in the wa ter to be sterized, at the time protecting it from direct contact with the water If the parti- cles suspended in turbd water themselves pol uted with microbes it is probable that the process will kill them Very turbd water should be fil- tered before being steriZed. Probably the use of hyperchloride of lime is cheaper than the electric ultraviolet light method, but intelligent labor needed with the chemical method With cleo tricty figured at cent kw hr it is believed that sterilization with ultraviolet rays will about 60 cents per 100000 gallons However, the question should not be settled the basis of dol lars and cents, for the question of pure water ply is vastly important. At the present time there is a large unit in Luneve, France, sterilizng the city water supply, and in New York for the pur- ification of the water swimming pool. The smallest lamp used operates at 110 volts, taking two amperes; the largest at 800 volts taking 2.5 amperes In such the energy consumption is between 50 kw. -hr and 130 kw-hr. per 1000 900 gallons of water-Electrical World

THE NEW BERLIN CANAL.

From the engineering standpoint the canal is a fine achievement It has been carried in the most daring manner hill and vale. Some two kilo meters behind the railway station at Eberswalde the canal passes the railway line which had to be sunk this point to the extent of 1.75 meters IL is truly marvellous sight to the trains puff ing by underneath while overhead the heavily laden boats go sailing and steaming on their way. No less marvellous is the the in which the canal has been constructed through the beautiful Ragose valley where the little river Ragose is conducted under the canal by of specially constructed cement channel A dam nty-eight meters in height has been constructed right through the val lev a length of 1000 meters, and along this, high above the level of the valley, the canal has been laid The finest piece of engineering work is, how ever be in the locks near Nieder- Finow Here the canal had be sunk the depth of fully thirty-sx meters in order to descend to the level of the valley of the oder. This sinking has been brought about by means of series of locks, each one of which has drop of nine meters The entire length of the canal is 100 kometers, and the entire cost amounts to 43500000 marks. The traf- fic along this route is already showing a rapid development, everywhere new industrial plants are springng up. In Berlin and Spandau new and eX- tensve docks have been constructed; an express service has been organized between Berlin and Stet- tin and new steamship and towing companies have been organized for service this canal-Continen- tai Correspondence.

GALVESTON AS A PORT.

Of peculiar interest to us of Texas, and of the whole southwest, indeed, are the figures showing the volume of commerce passing through the more important ports of the country. New York, of course, is first and unrivalled in this respect Of the whole foreign commerce nearly half or $2,OO0,- 100000 passed through the port of New York But Galveston is easily second to admit of rivalry; for whereas the commerce passing through New Orleans, which is third in this respect, totaled $252, 100000 that passing through Galveston totaed $29O, 100000, $3S 100000 in excess of New Orleans
 Calveston's increase greater than that Of any other port, not excluding New York, which that Galveston in addition to the distinction being the second port in the country, in point or value of commerce passing through it, enjoys the further distinction of being the first port m the country in point of growth Furthermore, Calves is not likely to lose either of these distinctions for years to come it will continue to be the coun- trys second port in point of the value Of the com merce passing through it, and the countrys first port in point of the rapidy of it's growth.-Dallas News.

A Queer Smuggling Regulation

An astounding bit of from Fl Paso. It would be still more astounding if it came from some other point of the compass whose news has had pang effect the public for the last two three years, It is stated, however by the way of Fl Paso that, despite the embargo on munitions of war; about 20O00 cartridges smuggled across the border in that vicinity daily. It is further stated that in where smuggling been actually detected, it has been stopped, but the intending smuggler could not be punished or detained. This is sort of regulation unlike any other that in force to prevent the vio lation of an embargo. This does not prevent gun running but adds zest and excitement to the sport
 A year ago. previous to the unprecedented order lifting the embargo arms such smuggling had been winked at evidently on instructions from the treasury department The customs authorities ap- peared to have been advised not to be too vgilant In cases where attempts at smuggling were inad- vertently frustrated the smugglers not dealt with so harshly as discourage them. Then came the lifting of the embargo 'act of neutrality" the part of government to even up matters between our friends the constitutionalists and our enemies the federals
 But when our friends the constutonasts manifested evidences of hostility after the taking of Vera Cruz we clapped the embargo again. though now it appears to be real obstacle to the shipment of and ammunition into Mexico
 It may be inquired whether we are doing the right thing by Carranza, who has been trying to withhold munitions of war from the second chlet of the consttutionasts,' General Villa, even since their late conference when surface patch was ap- piled to their affairs If Villa can secure arms and ammunition from across the border CarranZa had better let him have them from Tampico. for then he can the better keep track of the military SUD- plies in the hands of the second chief.
