A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of com
panionship, civilization has lowered
to its greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not party.
Woman. remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that it is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering womans
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs Of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and UNI
ashs ned.

Woman DESTROYS Comb.

What might have been a disastrous
explosion was prevented when Mrs.
Pauline Siegel picked bomb, with a
lighted fuse attached, from the door
step of the house of her neighbor,
Mrs. Salvatore Corso, 1921 South
Franklin street, Philadelphia. Mrs
Siegel hurled it into the street. This
broke the crudely constructed bomb,
and only a section exploded
Mrs Siegel saw two men place a
queer-looking package on the step, ap-
ply a match, and run away. She
grasped the package and hurled it in
to the stseet.
1t contained six sticks of dynamite
and a large quantity of gunpowder-
The copper wires which had been
wrapped around the package, broke.
The contents of the powerful bomb
were scattered in all directions.
Mrs. Corso said her family has no
enemies.

Would Withdraw Old Ships.

Discussing the loss of the battleship
Formidable and similar naval disas-
tiers to the British navy since the be-
ginning of the war the naval CORE
spondent of the London Times urges
that these more or less obsolete war
ships" which are being used for coast
patrol duty, might proftably be rele-
gated to the junk heap, and their
places taken by fleet merchant yes
sells. This suggestion is made because
the loss of trained men in one of these
old battleships is irreparable.
"a soldier may be trained in few
months" says the expert but it takes
as many years to develop the skilled
man-of-wars man.
"These old battleships, moreover,
not only carry very large crews, but
also are very vulnerable to mine and
torpedo
at is possible, then, that it may be
found expedient to pay off some of the
older and less well-protected ships and
to provide for the service they have
been doing in other ways. For patrol
and search work, for instance, fast
merchant vessels with few light
guns would be just as effective as the
slower and more heavily armored YES
sells. In any case such vessels, if
threatened by a superior hostile force,
must rely on speed and not on firing
power"

LEFT HIS WIFE AS SECURITY
Pittsburgh Restaurant She Was
informed.

The street plan of Pittsburgh
caused c. E. Stern of Wellsville, o.,
and his wife three hours of anxiety
and incidentally caused Secret Serv-

a pedestrian. Mrs. Stern was strand
ed in a downtown restaurant for three
hours, while her husband and Opera
tive Price searched for her She was
not lost to her husband for that time,
but the restaurant was.
The Stern family arrived in Pitts
burgh and did not have a chance to

Fourth avenue hotel During their
stroll they decided to lunch in Dia-
mond street restaurant.
All went well until the meal was
nearly over, when MIR. Stern remem-
bered he had left his money in the
hotel. His wife was left as security
while he returned for the money. On
the way back with the money Mr..
Stern lost his way He told his trou-
bles to Price and the two started on

WOMAN THE HOME BUILDER
Undoubtedly the Chief Trade In
Which Females of the Country
Are Engaged.

Yes, of course, it is homemaking.
Everybody knows that but the figures
for it, compiled by the United States
Board of Education statisticians, are
worth noting OF the 3l,000,000 fe-
males over ten years of age in the
United States $4,000, 900 are engaged
in homemaking. Girls may be enter
ing more and more into other trades,
but in the last analysis they general
ly fall back or advance to the rank of
homemakers.
Hence, says the Federal Education
al beard the Importance of giving spe-
cial attention to scientific cooking in
the vocational schools The girlish
hope OF being able to hire a cook is
apt to be disappointed as frequently
as the hope of keeping one when she
IS hired. 1t is one of the oldest
things Of life that cooking, the prep
aration of the food that sustains life,
the art that can waste or economic
in the thief item of family expeRdi-
lures, is so largely left to be picked
up as best it may be without serious
consideration or training. If the
woeful waste resulting from amateur
cookery could be computed in dollars
and cents it would rival the war bills
of Europe. If the indigestion, dyspep-
STA and kindred physical disturbances
caused by incapable cooks could be
tabulated they would dwarf the list
of killed, missing and wounded

God Save Us From a Hen-Pecked
Nation.

l follow the pillow for a living and
my views may have in them the smell
of the soil; my hair is turning white
under the frost of many winters and
perhaps | am a little old-fashioned,
but | believe there is more moral in
fiuence in the dress of woman than in
all the statute books of the land. AS
an agency for morality, | wouldn't
give my good old mothers home-
made gowns for all the suffragette's
constitutions and bylaws in the world.
AS a power for purifying society, I
wouldn't give one prayer of my sanity
mother for all the women's votes in
Christendom. AS an agency for good
government, l wouldn't give the plea
of a mothers heart for Righteousness
for all the oaths of Office in the land.
There is more power in the smile
of woman than in an act of congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family of
laughing children than in the cab
met of the president of the United
States.
The destiny of this nation lies in
the home and not in the legislative
halls. The hearthstone and the fam
lily Bible will ever remain the source
of our inspiration and the Acts of the
Apostles will ever shine brighter than
the acts of Congress.
This country is law-mad. Why add
to a statute book, already grooming
under its own weight, the historical
cry of woman? If we never had
chance to vote again in lifetime and
did not pass another law in twenty
five years, we could survive the or.
deal, but without home. civilization
would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming a hen-pecked nation;
help us keep sissies out Of Congress
and forbid that women become STEP /
fathers to government, is the prayer
of the farmers of this country.

Woman Is Ruler over All.

Why does woman chafe under re-
straint of sex? Why revile the hand
of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has chung to since
the beginning of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears of sorrow from the face of
childhood? In its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
in shame; clinging to its motherly
folds. tottering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from it
youth learned to reverence and re-
spect womanhood. Can man think of
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow.
er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears of regret over his depar-
ture, he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money.
What more does she want?
Can man find 1t in his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one of
the most powerful political bosses in
the country, that his distinguished
grandmother was one of the ablest
flibusters in the Cenate or that his
mother was a noted warrior and her
name terror to the enemy? Whittier
are we drifting and where Will we
land?

Why is woman dissatisfied? Why
does she grow restless under the

weary of the God-given jewel of moth

achievement for woman that future

than to sing lullabies to the worlds
