, tomorrow, and if she is left with am
pie means, she certainly has need OF
thorough business education, that
she may not trust the management OF
her property either to the disinter-
ested or INSCRIPTIONS.
There is something grand in being
a useful and Independent spinster,
but pitiable in being a helpless, de-
pendent one. Let us look at one in
stance for illustration: A brother
and sister graduate from high school.
me brother goes to business col
lege and from thence out into the
business world, never stopping or
once losing ground. The girl simply
tarrles at nome until she either mar
ries or becomes elderly. Ii she uses
her education at all, it is to teach
some easy school for a term or two.
Her father thinks that there is no
need Tor ner TO learn anything about
business, he can take care of her:
but by sudden change of fortune he
dies poor and she has no means o
livlihood. There is but one course
open-go to her brother. This means
drudge IN his Kitchen; wait on his
wife; help raise his children; be ten
servants in one for the princely re-
Enumeration OF bread, butter and
home. Not bit overdrawn. There
are countless like cases. You can see
for yourself how different all might
have been mad she gone right on after
graduating.
"A widowed mother of five chill
dren wrote the other day: thanh

NOTES

NOlfo
Most people seem to think of short
hand merely as trade or profession,
but it is far more than that.
Hugh Chalmers, President of the
Chalmers Motor Car Company, man
who some time ago gave up a $72,-
O00-a-year salary to 90 into business
for himself, recently expressed him
self thus: IL have always said that
the position of stenOgrapher is the
best training ground for a young
man, If he has any brains, and If the
man he works for has any brains, be-
cause he can learn more in that way
than in any other that | know Of.
Arthur Brisbane, editor of the New
York Evening Journal, says, stem
ography is an excellent training in
eXactness." And the Gresg Writer
in commenting upon this, says,
president Wilson receives much
praise for his lucidity and concise
ness of expression. Does it not seem
more than plausible that President
Wilson, having written shorthand for
forty years, may owe his admirable
expression to the training which the
use of shorthand gives the earnest
student"
EVERYBODY should learn short
hand.
EVERY GIRL SHOULD HAVE \
BUSINESS EDUCATION
The following words are from 2
woman whose name is well known in
nearly Wery home in America:
"Coum you review one years cor
respondence with myself or any other
woman whose business brings her
into a sisterly relationship with thou
sands of her sex, you would hardly
need this little talk to stimulate you
to desire for a business education.
From women, married or single,
come the queries: How can | earn
my daily bread? How can | increase
my slender income?' The bankers
wife may be the sole bread winners

PROVES STRENGTH OF HEART
lnfaIlIble Test, According to proml'
nent Physician, Is the Ability
to Hold the Breath.

Or. W. A. Schtange, in a recent
number OF the Roussky Vratch. ex-
plains why a healthy person can sus-
pend breathing for from thirty to
forty seconds, or with practice, for
three times as long. This depends,
the doctor asserts, not on the lung
capacity but upon the yigor of tho
heart muscle. In a word the longer
you can hold your breath the greater
is your heart power, persons with
weak hearts being unable to suspend
their breathing for more than twenty
or even ten seconds.
Doctor Schtange who Is surgeon
OF note, tests his patients In this novel
way before giving them general
anesthetlc. such as ether or chloro'
form. Seated In a chair, the patient
is instructed to take deep inspira-
ton and. with tho mouth closed. to
hold his breath MS long as he can. The
longer he can hold 1t the less danger
viii there BIO from the anesthstic,
and should he not be able to suspend
his breathing for rs long as twenty
seconds, the anesthetic Is, as the doc
tor says, "contra.indicated.'

He added that he wanted to bring

a pocket two handfuls of sovereigns
to show that he was able to do this.
Said the chairman, smiling: You

pocket. 1--WE had to work hard for
this" he said, and was about to reveal
more wealth when the court told him
that a boy with such generous pro-
tector would .of course, be admitted.

May Lower Price of Radium.

Contracts for delivery Of radium In
the early months of 1915 have been en-
tered into at price as low as $67.50 a
milligram, and there Is widely prev
alent belief that there may be great
fall In the price during the next two
years. 1t is interesting to note that Tor
some time after its discovery radium
could be procured at less than one
tenth of its present price. The de-
mhnd for radium to be used for medi
cal purposes has hitherto absorbed the
output and has led to rates being
quoted which are excessive and alto
gether artificial, The large profits OBJ
tanned have, however. stimulated
search for uranium ores in various
countries. notably in America, and as
there are unlimited quantities OF low
grade uranium rocks available 1t
would appear to be merely question
of time before radium viii BIO placed
on the market at price bearing a
reasonable ratio to the cost OF its pro-
duction.
