Clock Indicates Worlds Time

A recently patented clock shows on
single dial the time of any city in
the world. A globe representing the
earth is inclosed in glass dome on
whose circumference is an hour and
minute scale. The day hours are in
dicated by white numerals while those
of the night are black. The dome is
made to revolve once every "a hours
and when the time Of any city is de-
sired it is only necessary to find that
city on the globe and follow longi-
tudinal line running from it to the dali.
If the figure is in white it is at once
understood that the hour indicated is
in the day time. Local time is shown
on a second dial at the base of the
sphere but this can be ascertained just
as that of any other place on the earth,
by looking at the universal dial.

4 BIRTHDAY
AND Yours
April l7-Susan Fenimore Cooper.

Partly because of her kinship to
the great writer Of Indian stories
and partly because Of her own accom-
plishments. Is Susan Fenimore Cooper,
who was born in Scarsdale, n. Y. 102
years ago today, remembered among
the women whose fame has outlived
their generation.
AS the daughter of James Fenimore
Cooper she had an early opportunity
to meet and talk with many of the
leading writer's of the period, and she
had the advantage of constant asso-
citation with her father. one of the
most vigorous and popular of all
American writer's She never married,
and she was his lifelong companion.
often serving as his secretary. In
their home in Cooperstown Susan pre-
sided as hostess for many years, and
took an active interest in local char
tiles. An orphanage which she was
instrumental in establishing has been

little boys and girls, many of whom
have become very useful men and
women.
Inspired by her fathers example
and her own ambition. she wrote

THERE is no more common malady in
America today than neurasthenia
or tired nerves. 1t is our weakness.
What are we going to do about it?
The condition is brought about by lack
Of sleep. faulty assimilation of food due
partly TO injudicious eating; sluggish cir
culation, insufficient oxygen. but, more
than anything else to tense nerve strain
anxiety. fear. and worry. We do not re-
lax. We are short-sighted. We lose
sight of the fact that worry, fear and
anxiety are as a dose of poison to the
system.
The besettinS sin of American men and
women is the habit of worry. Be just
as sure the sun shines that if you
worry for any length of time Your nerves
will suffer, as will the digestion and as
similation of your food. Your tissues will
weaken, the faulty assimila ton will
cause starved condition of the nerves
the nerves will not recharge properly
because of lack of sleep. and your whole
resistive power weakens. Then you are
in prime condition to take any sort Of
disease.
II We simply could keep from this habit
of worry, or fear. or anxiety. we would
see the eyes brighten and the skin clear.
Since the nerves control the body. all
nerve disturbances are aggravated by
anxiety. worry. fear. or by the minG
dwelling upon disaSreeable thoughts.
The nerve centers are like electric bat
teries. If you run an electric machine

The iii Wind.

Even such frightful things as wars
b,ow some good in the wake of all their
horrors, and not the least Of the good eff
fects of the present European catastrophe
is the effect it is having on the status
of European women in industry, espe-
cially in England. In the large London
office bulldogs it is not unusual to see
wornen running the elevators; there are
butcher and grocer delivery women;
women are found in large numbers in
architects Offices and in law Offices, do
ing work that a year ago no one nut
men would have been permitted to do.
and in the railroad stations throughout
the kingdom there are women ticket SELL
crs and ticket punchers to an amazing
extent. Briefly the occupations In which
the greatest proportionate increase OF
women workers has been noticed are
banking, teaching. medicine, ticket SELL
ing. mail censorins. pharmacy. dentistry,
bookkeeping. accountancy. hair dressing.
cooking, motor driving. mechanical draw
ing. toy making, electrical work. carriage
cleaning. debt collecting, grocery. and
elevator running.
Women in England have achieved this
wonderful step forward in the industrial
world this time not because of their own
efforts, but because the men who usual
w occupied these positions have been
called to the pressing business of war.
And even when peace comes at last, Eng
land will still need these women to fill
the places of the men who never will
return.
In France the same increase of the
number of women workers has been no
ticed. but not quite in the same way.
There the wives have stepped into their
husbands places. Shops kept by men
are now kept by their wives and daush-
tiers. who even before the war were more
or less familiar with the duties of their
husbands businesses. Last autumn saw
the thrifty French peasant women bend
iu- their shoulders to the work OF har-
yestjny with n will and this spring sees
them as eagerly working at the pillow.
l:,u in England the opening of these
industries to women means somewhat
more than anywhere else in Europe, for in
England men nave been more conserva-
tive. and more prejudccd about letting
women infrinG" on what they thought
to he their own exclusive industrial ter
riIorl-
In our country in" civil war had a
wide and la%tin. effect on the status
OF woman in Industry and no doubt
the advanced position Of women today
in This country is in large measure due
to this wartime impetus.

FROM MRS. BELVA LOCKWOOD.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Mrs Belva Lockwood. the
famous pioneer woman lawyer:

months with the League of Neutral
Peace, of which l am a member. at

Away back in the autumn Prof. A
Quidd, of Munich. Germany, wrote me
a most appealing letter asking me to
call at once a meeting of the Berne
bureau and not to wait the slow pro-
cedure of the mail but to send by
cablegram. stating that IL was most
important and showing that / could do

living at Brussels. Immediately

Fontaine absent In London, and the
clerk OF the bureau replied that trav-
cling was too dangerous for the dele
gates to call meeting. But Presi-
dent La Fontaine Immediately on his
return to Berne called the special
meeting and set ii for the 9Th of jan

thing of the past To refer to The
Lilac Domino" again, on account or
the remarkable exhibition OF good
taste and refinement of dress and
costume which il offers, there Is
scarcely a Elittering stone to be seen
amid all the gorgeously dressed
throngs of women and men, whether
at the bal masque of the first act, the
dansant of the second or the carnival
of the third. 1t is as If the suggestion
of Z certain cynic is to be taken up
literally. He remarked that the very
best place for jewelry was in a jew
eler's window. But even our grand
mothers and eat-grandmothers had
their loved ornaments, for all their
simplicity, and the return of the cameo
in ring and breach as well as of the
tiny fan on its lengthy chain is a
natural sequence. In fact the old
fashioned costume. which is now the
newest of the new fashions is not
quite complete without them.
