WROTE OBITUARY EIGHT
s YEARS BEFORE DEATH

K. J. RowellI of Madison, Wis,
whose funeral was held this week,
made provision in 1907 that the public
should know the details of his life. He
found out from the local papers that
they would publish an obituary notice
of 200 words, and wrote the story of
his life, giving directions for having
it published when he died. He was a
machinist.

very soon. And the problem will be
nearly as pressing in Germany and
France.
Germany had q before-the-war sur
plus of $4,000 women and France of
645,000 women, and since Germany
and France are losing more men than
England, their plight will be CORE
spondingly serious. If one may be
permitted to take somewhat frivo-

quite severe, even before the war be-
