EFFECTS OF THE WAR
 ON STATUS OF WOMEN.
Prof. Ralseh of Wellesley College Says They Will Be Drug on Market"

Washington, Dec. 2e. Professor Emily G. B. Balsch, of Wellesley col lege told the American Sociological so- ciety here today that one of the effects of war on the status of women would be to make them a Drug on the mar ket."
 Tt may be that in more primitive times, such a situation would be a cause of polygamy," she said. Tn our day 1t will mean a vast overplus of women. Men will return not only with importance enhanced by the glory of the battlefield, but with a scarcity value.
 "A second and conflicting effect is that women, being more necessary, be- come more important instead of less. A third effect will be a great increase of unmarried women. Another result is that there Is forming under our eyes a new sex-international. Some one has said if the brotherhood of man had grown as much in the last two centuries as the sisterhood of woman has grown in the last two decades this war would not have occurred"

Pain is a visitor to every home and usually it comes quite unexpectedly. But you are prepared for every emer- gency if you keep a small bottle of Sloan's Liniment handy.
