Many Women at Work.


Prof. Edward A. Ross says that
there are about 100000 women en-
gagged in gainful occupations in the
United States, and that the number is
increasing much more rapidly than
the general population. The factory
has taken everything out of the house,
he says, except the preparing of food
and the rearing Of children. About
one-third of the single women of the
country between fifteen and twenty
five are engaged in occupations out
side of their homes, and In the city
so per cent, SO that nearly half the
women in the country are at work, but
between twenty-five and thirty-fve
only one-fifth of the number are at
work outside the homes, most Of them
being married.

is owned by the navy of the smallest
power. 1t is true that single subma-
rines are not expected to accomplish
much in real struggle, so the larger
navies of the great powers have fleets
of submarines. The aeroplane and the
dirigible balloon are to be found in the
possession of all armies in Europe to-
day, yet they, too, are only expected to
be of real service when they are pos
sessed in large numbers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps of modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have q
powerful sting, they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
AeropIane and Wireless.
In the recent smaller wars, aero
plans have been used to limited ex-
tent, and this use has been SO much
limited that their real efficiency Is ex-
pected to be finally determined by the
present war.
1t is much the same with the wire
less telegraph. While it was used in
the Russo-Japanese war of ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary, and the installations too few,
while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest eff
cheney. In the intervening decade, how
ever, great advance has been made in
wireless. 1t is now possible and, in.
deed, Is custom every day, to send
and receive messages from distance
of more than 5000 miles. This, then,
is new and important factor in naval
operations, as was seen by the censor
ship put over the great sending sta
tons on this side of the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was in existence In
1904, but it was very different sea
wasp to that which England, France
and Germany are using today. Yet its
real value is yet to be determined, and
it is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict.
Rapid Increase of Submarines.
At the time Of the Spanish-AmerioAn
war there were only five submarines
in all the navies of the world.
The latest edition of Brassey's Naval
Annual for this year gives the number
of submarines in the various navies,
and shows what interest Is being
taken in the wasp of the sea- Great
Britain has rs built, and is building 90
more; Germany. who only began build
ing few years ago, already has 81.

Voltaire, a precursor of the French

and is building IL more; France has
70 and is building % additional ones;
Russia has 25, and is building IS;
while the United States has 20, and is
building ri; Austria has Is, and has
four under construction, while Italy
owns IS, and is building two. Yet the
submarine Is still an unknown guam
tity in warfare.
Submarine In War.
Many of the early submarines are
small and probably of little efficiency,
and France has numerous types about
which little is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said to be built along the Holland
lines, while the Russian submarines
are said to follow one or more of the
French types.
The submarine, from a romantic
viewpoint, should be a great factor in
deciding naval engagement, but the
time it has done nothing to prove it's
value 1t was believed that the moral
effect of the submarine would be al
most as important as its physical eff
feet upon an enemy's warship, but
this belief has not been justified up to
the present moment.
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by
submarine meeting submarine and de-
stroying each other. But it has been
found that when submerged the sub.
marine is as blind as the traditional
bat. It's crew cannot see any object
under water, and is compelled to re.
sort to the use of the periscope, which
energies unostentatiously above the
water, in order to see it's own course.
1t is known that the periscope is
the eye of the submarine, and natural.
ly attention has been paid to the best
way of destroying this vital part Of
these boats.
Submarine Versus Alrships.
The designers of the submarine did
not count upon it being seen. 1t was
believed that it would go upon it's way,
dealing death without observation, al.
though It's periscope does make a
slight wake on the water, and when
submerged there are telltale bubbles
But 1t has been discovered that from
certain height an observer may trace
the course of a submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as If it was
running on the surface The dirigi5le
balloon and the aeroplane now can
ferret out the sneaking submarine, and
they both are supposed to be armed to
destroy the warship that moves like
fish.

Goodyear Prices
Ii is Follv Today to Paw More

There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. 1t re-
suits from War conditions.
These leading tires-built of extra-fine
rubber, in the same way as always-are
selling today at June prices.
You will find today a very wide difference
between most tire prices and Goodyears.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to US.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night.
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others-in that panic-were forced to higher
prices But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war; and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub
Der. They bought-before the ADVANCE $780,
900 pounds of the finest rubber there
Nearly all this is now on the way to US.
And it means practically all of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad.
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the worlds
chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty we'll
assured of constant supply, and our pick of
the best that's produced.

MAY FIGHT ONE ANOTHER
Each Invention Now Is Prepared to
Pun the Others Sting, But Their
Actual Value Is Yet to
Be Demonstrated.

Every modern war has been fought
with new weapons. and for the last
century there have been countless in
ventions for the carrying on of war
fare in particularly destructive man
ner, with the philanthropic intent that
war was fast becoming so horrible and
terrible that it must soon pass away
from the face of the earth, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
But it happened that as soon as a
particularly horrible contrivance was
invented and introduced into armies
busted themselves by offsetting and
discounting its probable effect. Con-
sequently war not only has not passed
away, but we still have 1t with US.
Thus it is that each big war, after be-
ing heralded as the worlds last con-
fiagration, is found upon examination
to be false, and the end Of war is not
yet arrived.
