THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES.
If there is a class of woman in this
city that the moral laws ought to be
applied to it is the woman who has
forfeited all claim to the name she
bears by leaving her husband.
She cannot obtain a divorce from
him for obvious reasons, and she
takes three or four children and
starts living year after year with
some lazy, worthless man, a boarder
and roomer, who does not work half
the time.
These brazen-faeed imposters are
a disgrace to themselves, their chill
dren, their parents and the COM
munity in which they live. A pri-
vate investigation Of their conduct
and associates establishes the fact,
that the average prostitute is an
angel when compared to them. They

AN UNFINISHED STORY
BY Harold Carter
eff John AyTe were to leave me,
said FIFTEEN & Co., 81 don't know what
I should do"
Fftton & Co. was Henry FittOn, the
famous publisher. He had started in
the business five years before with
capital of $1,000 and his record since
then had been one of continuous sue
cess.
Many publishers stated that they
desired only literary merit in their
productions and not big names; but
Henry Fitton meant it. He had
brought half a dozen new authors to
the front. He was always represented
on the list of best sellers. But John
Ayre was the cause of his success.
Ayre was his head reader and ap-
peared omniscient. Ayre had never
let a masterpiece slip through his fin
gers. He had an intiuitive instinct
which told him whenever a novel,
submitted to the firm, was going to
succeed. Ayre seemed able to plumb
tie depths of the human hearth
manuscripts.
But not in life.
"Ayre," said Fitton & Co. one day,
81 wish you we're a mixer. I'd take
you into the firm. But you aren't,
You are only a mixer in theory. l
wish YOU were the sort of fellow who
would put a little personality into
your work, make good impressions
and build up the business.

reader" answered John Ayre.
You're a darned good one, any
how" said Fftton & Co., and that
was true. AyTe had picked that lit
tie schoolgirl manuscript from Arkan-
sas, which every publisher but Fit-
ton had rejected. He had spotted it's
human qualities, he had punctuated

of the deposit. Until this important factor has been ascertained and until the deposit has been carefully pros
 pected the value of the property can not be determined.
 Prospect Near kolmakof
 The prospect near Kolmakof has
 been known for more than 25 years. It is situated on the north side of the
 Kusk kokwim about miles below Kol-
 makof. No work was in progress on this prospect in 1914, and the earlier developments consist of few shallow
 pits which do little more than expose the rock surface. The country rock
 is essentially the same as that at the
 Parks prospect It is intruded nearly rocks. The quicksilver naturalization occurs mainly in the shattered country rock adjacent to one of the small dlkes, but cinnabar has also been recognized apparently as an original constituent Of the dike rock. The maximum width of the naturalization, including the dike, winch Is l to 7 feet wide, ap-
 pears in the small part of the outcrop that is undisturbed by creep to be about 1 feet. The clnnaDar IS eSpeC- ially abundant III the quartz stringers and lenses. Few of these are more than than inches thick or more than : feet long, The thickest band of fairly pure, more or less crystalline clnnabar observed was about d quarter of an inch wide. Although the sedimentary rocks on each side of the dike are Iprobably impregnated with cinnabaI l in appreciable amounts, probably nc quicksilver ore of commercial grade occurs outside of the narrow area in association with the Smalled still. Al though the amount of ore exposed in the existing workings does not seem sufficient to be profitably exploited under the present conditions of the region, inteligently directed prospect ing might possibly disclose larger ore bodies

Miscellaneous Prospects.

Several claims have been staked on the kuskokwim- George River divide about two and one-half miles north west of the Parks prospect Some quicksilver ore has been found, but the development has not been carried much farther than that required by law to hold the property. The geologic conditions in general are the same as at the Parks prospect and the pros pect near Kolmakof; dikes cut the sandstone and shale country rock, and in the vicinity of the contacts miner alization has taken place.
 Cinnabar has been found also in the placer material in the areas of in- Ttrusive rock near Iditarod It has been found in place associated with quartz in some of the small veins that occupy joint cracks on the lower part of Glen Creek, in the Iditarod district. At none of these places, however, has a body of ore of sufficient size or richness to tempt exploitation been discovered.
 Conclusions.
 The naturalization by which the quicksilver was introduced clearly seems to have accompanied the intru sion of the igneous dikes which have a rather widespread distribution in the areas of Cretaceous rocks. The de- position of the quicksilver minerals took place in the shattered zone adia cent to these intrusives. None of these areas have vet been adequately pros pected The geologic indications point to the conclusion that workable de- posts of quicksilver may occur in the region but whether or not the develop ment of a specific deposit promises adequate financial returns can be as certained only by a critical investiga tion. which should include careful samplng. detailed mapping, and thorough analysis of all the other fac tors that determine the valuation of mining properties In order to find out these facts sufficient capital for adequate prospecting is needed. and it's employment for this purpose is fully justified

one set of inspectors considered that

should be carefully considered before
undergoing such a radical change.
Messrs. Steedle, Allegheny; Brum-
baugh, Blair; Kuhn, Greene, and Mill
iron, Armstrong, spoke for the bill,
the latter saying that the act of 1913
had worked great hardship on the
people in the small municipalities. He
remarked that the act was among
things passed by the reform Leg
islature of 1918" that should have
been promptly repealed.
Mr.. McVicar, Allegheny, denied
that the proposed act would impair
the authority of the commission over
private corporations. It's effect would
be to do away with a course of ex-
pense without much benefit to hun
dreds of municipalities. He pointed
out that the bill would not interfere
with the powers of the commission
over Incorporation of new COM
panies.
The House also passed the Steedle
bill providing that when a munich
pality desires to construct a public
utility plant it must first secure ap-
proval of the court and then en-
deavor to purchase any existing pri-
vate plant at a price to be fixed by

The home rule bill, designed to
take from the Public Service Com
mission it's Jurisdiction over munich
pal contracts for public service, was
passed finally in the House to-day by
1915 to 81, and goes to the Senate. 1t
is the first of series of bills to
change the Public Service act of 1918,
which have been presented to the
House.
The debate brought out expressions
of dissatisfaction over the require
ments of the act of 1913 in regard to
municipal contracts and the methods
of procedure before the commission
were sharply attacked by several
speakers.
Mr.. Vickerman, Allegheny, who in
troduced the bill, outlined the meas
ure saying it was intended to re-
move all authority over counties,
cities boroughs and townships be-
cause of the hardships the provisions
of the act of 1913 had brought about.
The right of appeal to courts is still
allowed. To this Mr.. Forster. Phila-
