An advertisement Of only five
lines, which appeared in the Gazette
yesterday, brought the advertiser
eight answers today. And yet some
people will tell you that advertising
doesn't pay because the people do
not read the advertisements. Some
years ago. just before the flood,
there were number of supposed
wise ones who told Noah that it didn't
look like rain and they guessed there
wouldn't be much of shower. but
the records tell us they got very wet
because they refused to take Noah's
advice. There are some OF the same
kind in about every small place and

Il few. might be discovered waiting
behind the counters in stores in this
old town for customers to come in.
The wisest men will advertise while
the other kind do otherwise, and
get left.

but comforted mother has told him so.
And from an examination Of the re-
corded prophecies OF this war he
reaches the conclusion that the future
does not reveal itself to the present.
Through the reason, yes. Europe-the
world-had seen the coming OF >he
struggle for twenty years. But intu.-
ton, divination, prophecy remained
silent. OF all the host of prophecies
published since the outbreak of hostili-
ties only two. Maeterlinck holds, de-
serve serious consideration, those of
the Rector of AIRS, Father Vianney, and
Of Leon Sonrel, the one made public in
1862. and printed ten years later; the
other made on June 10, 1914, and writ
ten down at the time. The most ar
resting passage In the priests predic.
ton, fixing the date of the outbreak Of
hostilities, is this: "They will want to
canonize me, but there will not be
time" And, in fact, Maeterlinck adds,
the preliminaries to the canonization
Of Father Vianney were begun in July.

war.
There Is tribute to King Albert;
and by way of postscript, a transia-

What erudrins. Married women's prop

what grudging. Married women's prop
erty laws have been passed in every
state, but in many Of the man-suffrage
states there seems to have been a fear
lest too much should be granted, and
various restrictions are placed on the
powers and rights Of married women.
In the equal suffrage states everything
is given at once. The married woman Is
placed on an equality with the married
man, and there seems to have been no
hesitation at all in the minds of the
men who passed the laws as to the abil-
ity of the women or the rightfulness OF
their claim.
1t is the same with the laws control
ling the guardianship Of children. The
story Of equal guardianship is the story
Of a long and toilsoms fight for the
recognition Of the mother as equal
parent with the father. In the equal
suffrage states equal guardianship has
usually been one Of the first demands
Of newly enfranchised women, and it
has been fully granted-the mother
being made absolutely equal with the
father in regard to both rights and re-
sponsibilitiss concerning the children.

WOMAN'S LEGAL RIGHTS
A Handy Compendium of Laws
of the States of the Union

LAWS AFFECTING WOMEN AND CHILDREN N
TIT SUFFRAGE AND NON SUFFRAGE
STATES. b Annie y. Po-ritt New YORK. Tne
National Woman Suffrage Publishing Company.
Probably few women in any state
really know what kind of laws they are
living under; and rarely does q woman
inquire, when moving from one state
into another, whether she is making a
change for the worse or for the better
in regard to the laws which affect her
self, her property and her children. II
is not an easy task for any one not q
lawyer to unravel the mysteries Of the
statute books, and consequently there
has been considerable excuse for the
prevailing ignorance. The appearance
OF this little volume removes this dif-
fculty. Women can now inform them
selves with little trouble as to the COM
parative legal advantages offered by
the different states.
In addition to an explanation Of the
laws concerning woman labor and mini
mum wages in the various states, the
subjects covered include mothers PEN
sion laws, the laws concerning the
guardianship of children, the age Of
consent for girls, and married women's
property. There is a section covering
public morality, including the red-light
Injunction and abatement law and the
restriction Of the liquor trade.
The equal suffrage states undoubtedly
show the influence OF women in regard
70 all these laws. IL cannot be said that
the laws in the equal suffrage states are
all better than the laws in the states
where women do not vote. Indeed, in
some cases an equal suffrage state APP
pears TO lag behind, though it may be
surmised that this is because no hard
cases have arisen under the existing
law TO call the attention Of the women
to it's backward condition. What is OBJ
vious is that on the whole the legal po-
sition of women is better in the equal
suffrage states than in the man suffrage
states, and that whenever the women
have demanded an amendment OF the
law in regard to their property, their
children, their working hours or other
matters in which women naturally take
keen interest they have met with gen.
erous response from the lawmakers.
In the states where women do not
vote the response is frequently some
