"Why We Oppose Pockets for WOm-
en-" by Alice Duer Miller.

]. Because pockets are not natural
right,
,. Because the great majority of wom-
en- do not want pockets. If they did,
they would have them
g. Because whenever women have had
pockets they have not used them.
A. Because women are expected to
carry enough things as it is without the
additional burden of pockets.
B. Because 1t would make dissension
between husband and wife as to whose
pockets We're to be nlled
G. Because ii would destroy mans
chivalry toward woman If he did not
have to carry all her things in his
pockets.

,99S073 while in Illinois the number Is
over 1,567491, making a total of more
than 3565 .564 women over q in States
where women are now entitled to vote
for president? That the 1914 probabili-
ties (Which include the States whore the
amendment has already been submitted
to the Legislature or will be submitted
by initiative petitiom will add 3,305,20l
women over q, and the 1915 probabilities

LABOR SAVING DEVICES.
Making the Farm Work Interesting.
GEORGE II. DACY.

| knew a progressive Orchardst who
developed a very good direct fruit trade
in a region where formerly all the fruit
that was purchased came from Califor-
mia, and he did this entirely by the use
of his automobile. He removed the
tonneau and used a body fitted with
racks for the baskets. His local roads
were very good, and he was able to
pick the fruit when the dow of early
morning was on it and to deliver it to
his consumers in three neighboring
towns in a radius of fifteen miles by
mldmornng.
Leading dairy farms that formerly
wasted horse and man labor in convey
ing their dairy products to the railroad
are to-day probably operating motor
trucks. The motor has vitality increas-
cd the efficiency of man, and with the
machine maintained under good condi-
tions its operator can perform s much
work as three ordinary teams and
drivers formerly did. The automobiles

larry recommend itself to the aGricul-
tural public, for on every farm the
most modern machinery always finds
fiattering appreciation and ready APP

Feathers paint, beads and Bracelets and long
HART Surely now we have, psychologically speak
ing, made a savage. The long hair the glory Of
woman. the strength OF Samson, the sign Of the
savage! The glory of woman. they say. Ia her hair.
AS a physician. 1t Is my contention that 1t takes
blood and nerve TO nourish the long hair Of women,
and therefore the less hair women tho more
strength to their intellect. Long hair, arranged In
fantastic shapes, frequently made more grotesque
by artificial means-is this the glory Of women /?
Certainly 1t is the glory of the savage.
Feathers paint. beads md bracelets and long
hair take us back to period Of history when men
and women we're wont to practice primitive STRAIT
egy when men used the dead bodies Of birds FOR
personal adornments. To-day the barnyard fowl
that lacks the aesthetic suggestion OF the forests
does service on the hats Of our ladies' That IS

Why Is II that wears the expensive
elaborate and often useless dress SO pcturesquely
described by Professor Bar? This question has
been partly answered by Professor G. T. W. Pat
rick. who says that woman has never rid herself
Of the primitive idea that dress is mark Of wealth
rather thnn mere protection for the body.
The dress OF the primitive man was loosely
and irresulary attached to the body. and was fas.
tened with strings or thonga or afterwards with
pins OF metal" writes the Professor. Later these
pins we're attached to the garment and bent into
the form OF hooks. Buckles. and finally buttons,
took the place of the primitive pins and hooks.
But women still use the metal pins and the
primitive lack OF definite correspondence between
the dress and the body Is seen for instance In the

CONSIDER ] Bills ::
FOR LEGISLATURE
Executive Board of Enforce
ment League Meeting
Here Today.
SEEK TO AMEND
BOOTLEGGING LAW
Also Want Bill Regulating
Shipment of Liquor into
the State.

Bills which will be placed before
the state legislature the first Of the
year are being considered today by
the executive board Of the North Da-
kota Enforcement, league, which is
meeting In Grand Forks.
The bills pertain to the liquor traf-
nc and the bootlegging statutes Of the
state.
The board also is to fix the time and
meeting place for the annual gather
ing OF the league. 1t is believed that
the annual meeting will be held at
Bismarck during the gathering of the
state legislators.
Apply Webb Law.
The most important bill Is design
ed to regulate the shipment of liquor
into the state. 1t is applied in con-
junction with the Webb law, a federal
measure which prohibits the shipment
OF liquor into prohibition states, ex-
cept Tor private consumption. The
bill is to provide for the regulation
OF the transportation and delivery of
liquor into the state to the end that
1t will make it impossible as is possi-
Ole for the blindpigger to secure H.
quor. 1t will not interfere in any
way with the shipment of liquor into
the state for private consumption.
No Loopholes Wanted.
Ihe other important measure is in
the nature of an amendment to the
bootlegging law. This statute defines
certain things as bootlegging, but the
league is desirous Of securing an
amendment which will leave no loop
hole. The amendment is in relation to
the agency for the buyer. 1t defines
the party who acts for another in Sc
curing liquor as a bootlegger.
The board contemplates no amend
ments to the cigarette. the bawdy
house or the gambling laws. F. L.
watkins, superintendent of the league,
says that these laws are entirely sat
