War Demonstrates
WOman'S Value

A war remarked an Englishman al
most worth all the suffering and loss
to see the wonders of which women
are capable, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. An American does
not require such severe "eye-open-
err" for he, as rule, is quite ready
to admit the capabilities of women;
but at the same time their support
Of the preparedness" movement has
caused quite good deal of comment.
We have enjoyed peace and pros
perity for so long that the women
seem to have slipped into the posi-
ton of pleasant appendages-useful
aids in business or rather expensive
luxuries, according to the individual
mans way of looking on her. Then
came the war abroad and the rumors
Of war at home, and the American
women, like their sisters in Europe,
rose at once to the occasion. They
we're not used to that kind of work,
but in very little time they proved
that they could become fitted for it,
and with the businesslike common
sense of the nation they methodically
set themselves to the task. At "first
aid" classes, in camps, at sewing cir
cles and in diet kitchens they were
found working earnestly and consis-
tently to make themselves of greater
value to their country and to show
their practical patriotism.
With the entraining of the troops
for the border, women naturally have
become more enthusiastic, more anx-
ious to lend helping hand; but
unfortunately there are very great
number of willing women who have
mot the time or opportunity to join
ANY of the organizations which would
enable them to begin their practical
training. For such as these thought
it might be useful and interesting to
run some simple article on first aid,
so that, having become familiar with
the theoretical side there would not
be much difficulty in putting their
knowledge into practice should the
necessity arise.

lieved, and there has been no wan
ing of his numerical strength.
More than sixty years ago there
appeared in the Morning News a re-
view of a New York Herald article
dealing with the status of the horse
in the metropolis. A portion of it
follows:
1.-THE number of horses in the city
is estimated at 22,540. The number
of men directly dependent upon the
labor of horses for subsistence is
stated at 1910, while many thou
sands rely more or less upon them
in the transaction of their daily
business. In 1925, the proportion
of horses was one to every thirty
inhabitants; now it is one to every
twenty-three, thus showing that the
application of steam to machinery
and the different mechanical inven-
lions which have been made have not

IN THE OLD DAYs-AND NOW

There is a prevailing disposition,

gaze out of doors seldom wanders
Rom the traffic of city streets, to as
sumo that the world has in fact en-
Tered upon a horseless age. 1t is
rue that the horse has been greatly
pOscured in city life by the inven-

means of transportation. but even in

1000 WOMEN EMPLOYED
IN ONE OFFICE


London, Aug. 31.-There are 1000
women clerks and stenographers now
employed in the British government
offices in Whitehall fact which gives
some idea of the way the women have
filled the gaps left by the men who
have Joined the army. And still the
cry is heard for more women which
leads to the belief that the demand
has outstripped the supply.
Even the governmnt departments
are finding difficulty in securing the
clerical assistance they require. At
one time Whitehall official could pick
and choose their clerks, and the ma
jority of those engaged were Of an
adaptable age-from 20 to 3O-but an
intelligent girl of II without exper-
fence can now find a place, and mid
dle-aged women need no longer feel
that they are not wanted.

Small Pox in Pennington.
tFrom the Pennington News.

(From the Pennington News.)
There are a few cases of what has
been pronounced small pox in Farm
ington. The first last that was def
nitely located was that of Zeno Har-
ris, colored, last week. He was
promptly quarantined. The first of
this week Rev. H. B. Grove became
sick with an affection of the skin with
which Mrs. Grove had been troubled
for a few days. The City Health
Physician became suspicious that
they, too, had smallpox and called in
DR.. Son, of Bonne Terre, member of
the State Board of Health, who had
had a great deal of experience with
smallpox at Bonnie Terre and else
where. He pronounced the disease
smallpox and hence the family was
promptly quarantined. We under
stand that there is one other case here
that is probably smallpox, but is be-
ing watched carefully under super
vision of the City Health Department.
1t seems that the disease as it has
appeared here is of an exceedingly
mild type and many believe it is not
smallpox at all. However, it un-
doubtedly is, but of such mild form
as not to cause any great fear among
our people. There has been more or
less of the disease as it has appeared
here in various parts of the county
for years. There was also another
small outbreak of it here about a
year ago.
